betrayal

Dana Snide lives between two worlds: the ordinary life she was born into, and the Labyrinth that calls to her every night — a place where her power feels alive. When a coven gathering spirals into chaos and old enemies resurface, Dana becomes the centre of a conflict she barely understands. The world she once felt safe in has become her prison, and her fate demands blood, obedience, and sacrifice. Caught between loyalty, danger, and a power she cannot yet control, she is forced to seek answers and the closer she gets to the truth, the more she loses. Hunted, uncertain who to trust, and afraid of what she might become, Dana must uncover the truth about herself… before the truth finds her first. Will she fulfill her destiny… or has it been rigged to fail? P.S.

Clara Vance had it all. Millions of followers, a beauty empire built on glamour, and a life curated for the camera. But a lost bet with her mother sends her away from a marvelous weekend trip to Mykonos and into the dusty attic of her family’s decaying ancestral manor. The catch was her inheritance. Her task? A dreary clear-out. Her discovery? A centuries-old diary belonging to her great-grandmother, Eleanor Thorne. The ink tells a story of a forgotten history. Eleanor’s forbidden obsession with her guardian and step-uncle, Casimir Guggenheim, a ruthless railroad tycoon with a heart of stone. But when Clara touches the tear-stained pages, the scent of crushed gardenias doesn’t just fill the room, it drags her back to 1879. Trapped in Eleanor’s corseted body, Clara finds herself under the roof of the very man who haunted the diary. To the world, Casimir is a cold, untouchable magnate. To Clara, he’s a puzzle she’s determined to break. The problem? Clara isn’t the timid, fragile girl Casimir remembers. She’s a 21st-century It Girl with no filter, a strategic mind for business, a total lack of respect for Gilded Age propriety and a defiance waiting for trouble to happen. While the original Eleanor was a victim of her station, Clara is ready to burn the cage down. As Clara navigates a world where a single misstep means ruin, scheming relatives see her as a pawn, and a powerful suitor sees her as nothing but a business merger. She realizes the history books were wrong. Rewriting Eleanor’s tragic end is dangerous, especially when she starts falling for the man she was never supposed to have. History says they’re a tragedy. Clara says history is about to get a makeover.

She found out the truth… the hard way. One envelope. One night. One betrayal she can’t unsee. Her husband—Adrian Virelli. Powerful. Untouchable. And cheating on her for months. So Elena does what any woman would do. She asks for a divorce. Big mistake. Because Adrian Virelli doesn’t lose. Not in business. Not in life. And definitely not his wife. “You’re not leaving me.” What starts as a marriage… turns into a prison. Security watching her every move. Doors she can’t open. A husband who won’t let go. But Elena is done being weak. She changes her name. Her life. Her identity. But there’s one thing she can’t escape. Him. Because Adrian is not just chasing her. He’s hunting her. And when he finally finds her again… There will be no running. No hiding. No escape.

INTERTWINED (WHEN TIMETAKES YOU BACK) What if the past held your future? When Isabella “Bella” Carter, a brilliant, skeptical college student from the city, steps into her campus lab that fateful day, she expects to witness science in motion, not magic. But one wrong spark sends her spiraling through time, tumbling from her modern world into the ancient Kingdom of Joseon, where honor rules, secrets kill, and one misstep can cost your life. Waking in a world that feels like a dream and a nightmare entwined, Bella becomes an outsider in every sense, her skin, her speech, her clothes mark her as something other. Yet amid suspicion and whispers, a widow and her spirited young daughter take her in, offering not just refuge, but the first flicker of belonging in a world that shouldn’t exist for her. But fate isn’t done with her yet. When Bella saves a wounded stranger on the roadside, she has no idea she’s just altered the course of history, because that stranger is Crown Prince Lee Ji-ho, heir to the throne and prisoner of duty. Bound by gratitude and curiosity, he seeks her out, and from that moment, their lives become perilously intertwined. Drawn into the glittering yet treacherous palace life, Bella discovers a world of dangerous beauty, where power wears a smile, betrayal hides behind silk screens, and every whispered secret could be her undoing. As her bond with the prince deepens into something forbidden, she faces an impossible choice between love and survival, between destiny and return. With rebellion staring in the shadows and time itself beginning to unravel, Bella must decide: is she meant to go home, or was she brought here for a reason that defies every law of nature? “Intertwined (When Time Takes You Back)” is a sweeping, emotional, and time-bending historical drama where romance burns through centuries, and one woman’s journey through the past might just rewrite the future.

I forgot one thing — Franklin Flemington has never lost anything in his life. And he has no intention of starting with me. Game on.

Unknown to the world, she grows into a prodigy—healer, martial artist, musical genius, and the hidden mastermind behind the global fashion empire M Designs.

Long story short. I died. Hahhh, if I end it here the people from the Beyond will kill me...most definitely. Worst case scenario, I will definitely cease to exist. Well then, shall we hear the full story? Of course, my little lambkins, obviously I have to entertain the people from the Beyond, shouldn't I? I awakened, in my opinion, the best halo ever in the history of ####. But turns out, it was empty. Utterly devoid of runes, runes which determine its ability, its function. People tried, but failed, after all it was an empty shell with no substance, and rendered me uselss, and unable to cultivate for the rest of my life. I was utterly disappointed, as anyone would be honestly. People who say they wouldn't be, would just be lying to themselves. Everyone I knew left me in the dust. I know, I know, that is the most cliché plot ever in history, and sometimes makes me wonder, am I being written as a character in a webnovel? Ehhh, I will take my chances. Some people sought for my empty halo, the best ever (I still think of it like that), to enhance their own. I was hunted down for four years, I was tortured, killed but not stripped of my halo. They were unable to do so, it was surprising honestly. Even in death, my cursed halo still clung to me like a long lost lover. A small, translucent text appeared before my eyes in blue, while I was disintegrating in the void.

Damn, I thought it was a dead beat, something which I'd deemed useless. My disintegration stopped, but the real problem was elsewhere. Yup, exactly. I was faced with two choices. Two choices which would be impossible to choose from, as both of them sound as good as the other. Well, for me, there was only one real choice here. I swiftly chose it, as I should, obviously. --- Extra tags: #Timeloops #Unique Plot #Evolution #Unique Power System #No Ntr or Yuri #3D Characters #Multiple Timelines #No Plot Armour. #Harem/No Harem(You guys have free will, obviously.

Cold, calculating, and impossibly powerful, he knows all her secrets—and he won’t hesitate to make her pay for every misstep. But revenge is never simple. As their fiery arguments turn into stolen glances, and punishments into forbidden desires, she realizes that the man she betrayed… may be the only one who can ever truly see her. With a past full of mistakes and a future tangled in passion, she must navigate betrayal, power, and temptation—before love consumes them both. Enemies, lovers, and everything in between—how far will she go to survive… and how far will he go to claim her?

Suho has always lived between two worlds. One shaped by legacy, pride, and expectations he never chose, and another shaped by a heart that feels too deeply for the life he is meant to lead. He is cold, silent, charming, and smart when it comes to business. But he is gentle by nature, emotionally deep, and quietly devoted when it comes to his love. But love was never allowed to be part of his carefully arranged world. It was always meant to be negotiated, controlled, and contained. At this point in his life, Yerin is his everything. His first love, his only love. He is willing to go to any length to keep her, even when his family repeatedly refuses to accept her. Torn between a heart that refuses to let go and a lineage that demands an heir to carry the Kim legacy, Suho takes a decisive step, trying to hold on to Yerin without disappointing the family that expects obedience and continuity from him. Then Hauen enters his life. Not through affection, but through a contract. Chosen not as a partner, but as a solution, Hauen becomes his wife in a marriage built for convenience. An agreement meant to secure an heir and protect the Kim family’s legacy. In return, Hauen enters this marriage to save her father’s bankrupt business. She is warm and gentle, yet guarded. Strong in quiet ways, carrying her own unspoken burdens. To the world, their marriage looks flawless. Polite smiles, perfect appearances, a union without cracks. To them, it is nothing more than a carefully written business contract, set to end after eighteen months. But life has little patience for plans built without truth. In the midst of calculated decisions and emotional restraint, fate pushes Suho into the lowest point of his life, breaking him in ways he never expected. Stripped of control, certainty, and pride, he is forced to confront the parts of himself he has never imagined. At his most fragile moment, the question is no longer about legacy or contracts. It's about Who will stay when everything collapses? Who will stand beside him when life is hard for him? And when life offers both unbearable loss and unexpected grace, will Suho have the courage to accept them? This is a story of love that begins as an obligation, fractures under destiny's test, and slowly transforms into something honest, real, and beautiful.
