Winning Lucy Back: The CEO Who Refuses to Lose Her Again

Lucy has spent the last three years raising Stella and John on her own, far from the ruthless world of business and the emotional devastation that once destroyed her. After a tragic event that shattered her relationship, she walked away from Marcus Hale—the only man she ever loved, and the CEO whose obsession with success left her facing the darkness alone. Now, Lucy runs a warm, bustling little bakery that has become the heart of her neighborhood. She wants no more heartbreak, no more chaos, no more emotional disasters. Only stability. Until Marcus returns. Now one of the most powerful CEOs in the high-end culinary industry, Marcus acquires the building where Lucy’s bakery is located. Expecting a simple investment deal, he is stunned to find Lucy behind the counter. And utterly destroyed when he meets Stella and John… His children. The shock is brutal. The guilt suffocates him. The love he buried erupts violently to the surface. This time, Marcus will stop at nothing to win Lucy back, regain her trust, and earn a place in the lives of the children he didn’t know existed. Between old wounds, new threats, business wars, moments of tenderness, comic relief, emotional breakdowns, mature romance, and deeply charged nights, their story will rise from the ashes—but only if Lucy dares to open her heart again. In a world where ambition clashes with vulnerability, Marcus must learn to become the man, the partner, and the father worth fighting for.

Echoes of Seoul:A Billionaire's Gentle Pursuit

In the glittering heart of Seoul, where skyscrapers kiss the clouds and dreams often drown in the Han River's current, two worlds collide in the quietest, most unexpected way. Ji-eun scrapes by in the shadow of the city's wealth, pouring coffee by day and sketching impossible futures by night. Her life is stitched together with sacrifice — supporting a sick father, a hopeful younger brother, and a mother who never complains. Romance is a luxury she cannot afford; survival is her only priority. Min-ho is the untouchable heir to the Han Group empire, a man who commands boardrooms and headlines alike. Handsome, brilliant, and achingly lonely, he has everything money can buy — except someone who sees past the fortune to the man beneath. Jaded by shallow affection and the weight of legacy, he has long stopped believing in genuine connection. One twilight evening by the river, fate draws them together: a near-accident, a shared glance, a simple conversation under the city lights. What begins as chance becomes habit — stolen moments on the same bench, quiet talks about art and ambition, laughter that feels dangerously real. But love between a chaebol prince and a barista with calloused hands is anything but simple. Family expectations, societal divides, hidden secrets, and the relentless pace of Seoul threaten to pull them apart before they can truly come together. In a city that never sleeps, will their gentle, slow-burning connection echo loud enough to rewrite their futures? Or will the distance between their worlds prove too vast to bridge?

Neon Dynasty: Four Kings

Scarlett "Scar" Vance doesn't believe in luck. She believes in odds, psychology, and knowing when someone's bluffing. Three years ago, she was a dealer in the Hollow—the slum island they forget exists. Tonight, she owns the Red Ace, the most profitable casino on Spade Island. The previous owner left her three things: the keys, $30 million in debt, and a bullet hole in his forehead. The Seven Houses think she's easy prey. They're wrong. DOM THORNE runs security for half the islands. He taught her first hustle in the Hollow ten years ago. Now he watches her take down card sharks with a smile, and wonders if she remembers his face—or his mechanical arm. ASHER BLACKWOOD built the tech that runs her slot machines. He was her fiancé before the fire that "killed" her. Now he knows she's alive, and he's buying her debts to keep her close. She keeps hacking his systems to remind him: she doesn't owe anyone. KAI NAKAMURA controls the fights where she earned her start. He doesn't care about her casino—he wants to see what happens when a Hollow rat takes the crown. He's betting on her winning. He's also betting on the chaos. JULES STERLING keeps her secrets in code. They built her new face together after the fire. He's been in love with her for three years, three months, and four days. He also knows she'll never forgive him if he says it out loud. Four men. Seven islands. One throne. Scar doesn't want their protection. She wants their respect. And then she wants to change the rules—so no other Hollow kid has to burn to get out. No chosen one. No easy love. No guarantees who wins. Just Scarlett Vance, holding aces, waiting for someone brave enough to call her bluff. [WARNING: Slow-burn reverse harem with morally gray characters, graphic casino violence, and emotional manipulation. ]
