"Across lifetimes, a star falls in love with a girl—and burns the universe to keep her." When Crown Prince Xavier of Philos chooses love over his kingdom, he triggers a curse that will haunt them for centuries. His beloved Nana dies at twenty-two—again and again across four lifetimes—always in his arms, always one day before her twenty-third birthday. From the ruins of an alien world to ancient Chinese dynasties, Xavier searches for her through the ages. He remembers everything. She remembers nothing. And each time he finds her, each time they fall in love, fate tears them apart with brutal precision. Until Xavier makes the ultimate sacrifice: he becomes a star to break the curse, giving up his chance at rebirth so she can finally live past twenty-three. Sixty years later, they're both reborn as humans—no powers, no memories, no curse. Just two strangers meeting in a library over a book about a Crown Star who loved a girl called Starlight. But souls don't forget. And some loves are written in the stars themselves. A sweeping romance spanning centuries, five lifetimes, and the space between death and rebirth. For fans of tragic love stories with hard-won happy endings.

A vampire… a real-life vampire… in her school? In her class, no less? Not only that, but she’s one of, if not the most popular girl in the entire school! When a socially inept and ostracized highschool girl, Lovely Day, witnesses a gruesome supernatural murder, she is forcefully pulled into a world somehow even darker than her own.

Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs by vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^

Artis Hart never expected to see Ethan Brewer again. On Christmas Eve in 2009, they nearly had something. But it ended before it began. Now eight years later, when an accident lands Artis in the hospital and Ethan at her bedside, old feelings resurface quickly and so do the doubts that tore them apart. He remembers the way things ended. She remembers the hurt. Neither of them is sure if the timing is finally right, or if history is about to repeat itself. Told through dual perspectives and timelines, Christmas Lights traces the fragile line between first love and second chances. Artis and Ethan must decide whether the bond they once shared can survive the truth of who they’ve become. +++ Hii, Kai here. So "Christmas Lights" is a pretty atypical book (especially on Webnovel) because each chapter only has a maximum of 100 words. But you are in for a ride because less words = more emotions pumped into them. This is a work I am very proud of and wrote during a difficult period in life. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I've been writing professionally for 10 years and now I'm on Webnovel to practice consistency. I'm not that good with writing blurbs but I can assure you that my writing is great. It'll be wonderful if you decide to give me and my books a chance. If you liked the story, consider adding the book to your library and leaving a review. You can also contact me via my socials.

On a quiet Sunday in Manhattan, eighteen year old Katriana stumbles into a gallery that should not exist and meets a man who knows her name, her birthday, and her true identity. He gives her a worn novel and asks a single question about third chances. The next time she returns, the gallery is gone. Then so is her life. When Katriana opens her eyes again, she finds herself inside the very story she mocked, a world of royalties, of dukes, of dragons, of false love, and of painted lies. But this is no sweet romance, and she is not meant to be the heroine.... or anyone at all. The man from the painting is real. The novel world is real. And this time, her choices will decide whether the world burns again or finally finds redemption. ** WARNING & FYI! - This is a tragedy (mostly) and healing fiction, viewer discretion is advised. - There are some Mature Romance scenes (for the adults in the novel) but not explicit. - 3rd person POV on Prologue only. - There are two MCs (Katriana and Archer) ** Upload schedule: I'll do my best to upload daily. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR READING! (^^)

Han Jaemin, once counted among the legends, now walks the world with only one goal: to find a way to die. That plan shatters when he meets Seo Minjae, a man whose obsession is far more dangerous than any monster lurking beyond a Rift. “I don’t mind breaking your legs and locking you somewhere far from everyone… if that’s what it takes to keep you alive.” “…And I don’t mind breaking your neck if it means you’ll finally leave me alone.” Between a man who doesn’t want to live and another who refuses to let him die, every step forward becomes a battle neither is willing to lose. Because when love starts to blur with obsession, how far will you go before you can’t tell the difference between saving someone and keeping them as yours?

Why'd I have to be born the oldest? ​Nazma stared blankly at her wardrobe, all alone on a bed that felt way too cold for someone her age. While other girls her age were stressing about homework and first crushes, Nazma had to carry a weight much heavier: the survival of her family and the silence of her own heart. ​“God… if I get born again, can I please be the second kid?” ​She desperately wanted to know what it felt like to have a big brother. Someone to stand out front, not behind. Someone to protect her. Someone to lead the way—so she wouldn't have to be strong all by herself every single day. ​But in the real world, she is the firstborn. The one who must lead. The one who must endure. And when she finally finds the courage to speak up against the world's unfairness, she realizes the harshest truth of all: ​It is a story of a girl's voice in a world that refuses to listen. ​Between the dusty halls of village meetings and the secret screams on her digital screen, Nazma navigates the messy layers of angst, broken friendships, and the suffocating social order. She is tired of being "the strong one." She is ready to be heard—even if she has to disappear from the circulation of their "normal" world to do it.

His gaze pinned her in place, slow, hungry, merciless. “Tonight,” he murmured. “Right now. Let’s make this night unforgettable.” Her pulse rioted. Her mind shouted run. Her body arched toward him like it had already chosen. One reckless signature. One hard, claiming kiss. One night that tasted like danger and surrender. The morning after, they agree to walk away, divorce papers as clean as the slate between them. But fate isn’t so easily erased. When Ashley returns home to salvage her father’s collapsing company, she discovers the enemy orchestrating its downfall is none other than her accidental husband.

In a pack built on power, Amethyst stands at the very bottom — an omega with forbidden fairy blood and a heart that has loved Evren Cael Sterling far longer than she should. He is the future Alpha, born of wolves and demons, destined for greatness… and destined to despise everything she is. A death — a tragedy tied to her parents — forged a hatred sharp enough to cut worlds apart. Yet when the pack torments her, Evren’s rage never touches her. He keeps his distance, keeps his mask, keeps pretending she means nothing. Until the night she collapses, silent and unmoving, and the truth he’s buried under years of anger claws its way to the surface. As Amethyst lies trapped between life and death, old rivalries awaken, ancient secrets unfurl, and the thin line between enemies and fated souls begins to blur. Their worlds were never meant to touch — claws and wings were destined to clash — but some stories ignite in the very place they’re forbidden to exist. Between Claws and Wings is a poetic tale of inherited wars, quiet devotion, and a love powerful enough to defy the past…if it doesn’t destroy them first.

[This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”
