Contract between us

MissMoonlightqueen
Synopsis: Signed in Ink follows Maya and Alex—two strangers brought together by a deal that was never meant to involve emotions. Maya, desperate to escape her controlling family and the future they’ve planned for her, agrees to a contract marriage with Alex, a man who initially needs a wife for legal reasons. Their agreement is simple: one year, no feelings, and no complications. What begins as a calculated arrangement quickly turns into something far more unpredictable. Living under the same roof, they learn each other’s habits, weaknesses, and hidden scars. Their fake relationship starts to look real—not just to others, but to themselves. Small moments of care, unspoken understanding, and unexpected jealousy begin to blur the lines they so carefully drew. As pressure from Maya’s family intensifies and Alex’s secrets come to light, the foundation of their agreement starts to crack. Trust is tested, truths are revealed, and the rules they created become impossible to follow. In a story where love was never part of the plan, Maya and Alex must decide whether to walk away as agreed—or risk everything for something real. Signed in Ink is a slow-burn romance filled with tension, vulnerability, and the question: can something that started as fake become the most genuine thing of all?

Thank you very much! -0- Chess players have no future in Indonesia! That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him. Until in the end, he finally looks back at his journey from the bottom, Sheva cannot help but smile and say, "Oh, well... It seems that this game is not as bad as I thought..."

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement

This is a fan translation of 赛马娘,从入门到地下室 The original author is EEEEE然后亮标 Please support them! === To all trainers: throughout your tenure, please never harbor or expose even the slightest notion of romance. Relationships are strictly forbidden—whether among colleagues or between trainers and Uma Musume. At all times, maintain appropriate distance from everyone. Never proactively invite Uma Musume to meals. If one invites you, find an excuse and politely decline. Do not pat heads! Do not touch horse ears! Do not touch tails! When going to sleep at night, ensure your doors and windows are locked. If you hear doors being torn down or the screams of your colleagues, do not leave your room. Immediately call campus security and remain inside until the authorities handle the situation. If an Uma Musume confesses feelings to you, politely decline without showing irritation or excitement. Play dumb! Always pretend you didn't understand! Afterward, promptly apply for campus protection. If necessary, the academy may arrange for your discreet resignation. If you happen to be a handsome male trainer, charming in speech, gentle (yasashii), and obviously attractive to the opposite sex—resign immediately. It's not discrimination; you simply do not belong here. If you insist on staying, the dark basement will inevitably be your only fate. Mizuno Sora looked at his evaluation of Appearance S, Scent S, and Voice S, and began to struggle inwardly. #Umamusume #Uma Musume #Pretty Derby
