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.

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.

"What happens when your one-night stand plans to become your stepdad?" It's been two weeks since that night, but I still can't forget him. It was so enthralling that the thrill stuck to my bones till now. It weighed on my mind like a dumbbell and cost me my concentration. A man so hot... Ah, how could I forget him? I wanted to see him again. I wanted to feel his warmth, his aggressive arms, and the way he smirked ever so often while I moaned like a messed-up recorder underneath him, sounds he seemed to favor. But it was just a fling between two strangers. No strings attached, and no names involved. I thought I would never see him again, until he showed up in my living room with his arms around my mother. And she said, "Ha-Joon, this is Tae-Hyun, my fiancé. We're getting married in a few days, so get ready." My heart stopped for a moment as my world shook. And then he looked at me, his devilish eyes met mine. I gulped. They were those same eyes that had seen too much of me. He remembered me, that was certain. And judging by the way he smirked at me, he wasn't done with me yet. Just how did that handsome, no, how did that hot man suddenly gain the identity of my stepfather? (A curious naive college student who wanted to have sex for the first time took his first dive into danger, only to find out the tiger he slept with was about to become his family) Note: this isn't an incest story so read the auxiliary chapter to know more before coming to your conclusion.

Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

“She married the man accused of killing her sister — not for love, but for the truth.” Han Areum’s world shattered the day her sister died in a “car accident” the media refused to investigate. Every trail led to one family — the Vallents, a dynasty of untouchable wealth and power, ruled by silence and scandal. Three years later, Areum returns to Seoul under a different name… and signs a marriage contract with Lucien Vallent, the heir everyone calls The Devil’s Son. It’s a union built not on affection, but on strategy — a dangerous masquerade to uncover the truth buried beneath the Vallent name. But as days turn into nights inside the Vallent mansion, Areum begins to see cracks in Lucien’s icy perfection. His coldness hides guilt — or perhaps, grief. And when secrets begin to unravel, vengeance starts to feel too much like love. Now, Areum stands between two fates: Expose the truth and destroy him — or embrace the man who might have killed her sister. In a house where lies are currency and love is sin, she must decide which truth is worth burning for.

I was nothing special. A shut-in. A chubby, ordinary girl who blended into the background like a shadow. Easy to ignore. Easier to mock. The world never ran out of ways to remind me I didn’t belong. Cruel jokes in hallways. Laughter that followed me home. Words sharper than blades, carving deeper than bruises ever could. Bit by bit, I shrank into myself until there was nothing left but silence and the weight of my own loneliness. That night, I decided I’d had enough. The chair creaked under me. The rope swayed above. My room was still, suffocating, as if the world didn’t care whether I breathed or not. And maybe it didn’t. Then—music. It came from the neighbor’s stereo, muffled through the thin walls. A single voice cutting into the darkness. A voice that shouldn’t have reached me, but did. Strong. Raw. Alive. It wrapped around me like a hand pulling me back from the edge. The lyrics told me not to hide my light. That even if it flickered, it still burned. I gasped, stumbling from the chair, clutching my chest as though those words had physically struck me. Tears blurred my vision, but for the first time in forever, they weren’t from pain—they were from something I thought I’d lost. Hope. That voice saved me. His voice. Eric. The lead singer of AUREA—the boyband that would one day become gods in the music world. To me, he wasn’t just an idol. He was my lifeline. And then . . . years later, when he died, the world mourned. I mourned. The one who saved me, the reason of my life, was gone, ripped from life far too soon. I thought it was over. But fate had other plans. One desperate wish, one shattered night, and when I opened my eyes—I was ten years in the past. Before the world knew AUREA. Before Eric was swallowed by fame. Before his voice was silenced forever. I’m just Emy—ordinary, clumsy, and invisible to most. But this time . . . it’s my turn. Eric saved me once. Now, I’ll save him. No matter what it takes.
