They call her the "bad girl" of Prestige Academy. Scarlett Hart, leader of the Angel-Devil crew, surrounds herself with trouble and four guys who would burn the world for her. She thinks she’s untouchable. He’s the new transfer student, Shane Carter. Older, muscular, and with a gaze that sees right through her rebellious act. Scarlett thinks he’s just another nuisance to drive away. She doesn’t know he’s a detective. She doesn’t know he’s seen her file—the tragic past, the rumors, the photo found on a dead man. She doesn’t know a shadowy organization has her in its crosshairs. Shane’s mission was simple: protect the target. But the more he learns about the real Scarlett, the more the lines blur between duty and desire. To save her, he’ll have to earn the trust of a girl who trusts no one—before her enemies make their final move.

“It’s still her.” Three words. That was all it took for the carefully constructed world of my last five years to shatter into dust at my feet. Zane didn’t even have the decency to look away as he said it. For twenty years, I had been the third wheel. The reliable shadow to Jovienne’s brilliant sun. I had buried my own feelings for Zane so deep I almost forgot they existed, only daring to dig them up and confess them after Jovi had left the country and broken his heart. We built a life. A marriage. I truly believed, in my foolish, hopeful heart, that it was my happy ending. Now Jovienne was back, and the illusion was gone. The love of my life saw me only as a consolation prize. As my world collapses, the last person I expect comfort from is her husband—a man as cold and polished as he is powerful. Vance sees the same betrayal in my eyes that he sees in his wife's. Leaning in, his voice a dangerous whisper, he proposed the unthinkable: "They are living in the past. Let's be each other's revenge. What do you say, Nerissa?" I should avoid at all costs. It was a game that could burn our broken worlds to the ground. But as I looked into his eyes and saw the same raw, humiliating betrayal reflected back at me, the answer poised on my lips wasn't "no." It was a terrifying, thrilling question. “What,” I whispered, my voice steadier than I felt, “did you have in mind?”

Yerin had always been a cold and self-centered woman, preferring to keep her distance from others. She believed emotions were a trap, something she could easily avoid. Her life was structured, predictable, and safe from the chaos of human entanglements. However, all this began to change when Elliot, her first love from high school, appeared at her workplace. Twelve years prior, Yerin had been a silent observer, watching Elliot from the shadows, captivated by his charm and warmth. She yearned for more than just friendship, but her timid nature kept her from expressing her feelings. Instead, she treasured the moments they shared as friends and buried her hopes deep within her heart. The unexpected reunion with Elliot stirred emotions Yue thought she had long buried. Their friendship rekindled, and Yerin found herself hoping once again for something beyond friendship. However, her hopes were dashed by the appearance of Hazel, Elliot's ex-girlfriend. Hazel and Elliot had a tumultuous yet enduring romance since college, a cycle of breaking up and reuniting that seemed unbreakable even after 7 years. Yerin realized she was on the outside looking in, and it seemed impossible for her to enter Elliot's heart when Hazel occupied such a significant space in it. Jayden, a handsome and charming man who was also Hazel's childhood friend suddenly approach her. With his keen perception, quickly caught on to Yue's secret, long-lasting crush on Elliot. Then, with a perceptiveness that caught her off guard, he quietly remarked, "I noticed the way you look at Elliot. You care about him a lot, don't you?" He offered a surprising proposition: for Yue to join him in becoming a third wheel in Hazel and Elliot's relationship.

She belongs to a wolf. She's married to the hunter. To the world, Elira Malven is the villainess who stole a princess's betrothed. But her gilded marriage to the legendary war hero, Kael Rennar, is a cage, and her husband has a deadly secret: he is a Wolfhunter, the sworn enemy of her kind. “Why?” The word was a crack in her composure. “Why did you push for this marriage? What do you want from me?” He didn’t turn. A faint, hollow smile touched his lips. “I don’t know why I insisted,” his voice was barely a breath. “I don’t know why I didn’t kill you the moment I suspected what you are.” Her only hope seems to lie with Thane, her true mate, whose touch awakens a primal bond in a dusty library. But he is the one who shattered her heart. “Then why leave?” she asked, raw and painful. “After I begged you—” “Because I was protecting you!” The words tore from him. “You were nobility. The Wolfkiller's wife. And I— I was nobody.” Torn between a hunter haunted by his mercy and a mate haunted by his sacrifice, Elira must choose: remain in a marriage built on a tragic mystery, or risk a love that demands a price neither of them may survive.

Bored high schooler Eun Dan Oh wanted one thing: to see the stars without Seoul's light pollution. Instead, she found a crystal. Then a portal. Then a hundred monsters trying to kill her. Now she's stranded on Mirac planet, rescued by five warriors who think she's a legend come to life. They say the crystal bonded to her. They say she's destined for their prince. Too bad the prince in question has made it very clear: he doesn't want a foreign girl, a prophecy, or whatever chaos she's bringing to his kingdom. But the monsters aren't done with her yet. And if she wants to survive long enough to find a way home, she might need the one person who wishes she'd never arrived.

But when she realizes his icy demeanor is a defense against constant flirting from students, she sees the man behind the glare. Armed with a bold plan and a killer red dress, So Eun crashes his library shift. In a performance meant for every onlooker, she publicly claims him as hers, determined to give him the peace he craves. It was supposed to be a simple act of kindness, but as a genuine spark ignites between the dramatic actress and the stoic librarian, they both discover that the best performances aren't acted—they're real.
