~•No Escape•~ "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps. "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear. He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body. "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you" _______________________ Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady. She had an appealing beauty with her green eyes that invoked and impelled anyone who gazed into them. She had fooled her villagers so she could live and protect herself and her remaining family from the night creatures and also humans. But what was bizarre of all, was that Perdita had a secret she shared with no one. She had lived in the village since she was little, and over the years, she had been discreet with each move she made. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she planned. Despite her cautious decorum and fight to stay out of sight, a pair of glacial red eyes falls on her, which followed and refused to leave her out of sight.

Dr. Cassian Thorne has spent his life studying monsters. He's never met one with eyes like silver and a face like a prayer. Blackwood Psychiatric Hospital holds the criminally insane—the ones the courts can't decide about. The ones who might be broken. Might be evil. Might be both. Wren Hollow has been inside for two years. Charged with three murders he swears he doesn't remember, Wren doesn't look like a killer. He looks like a lost boy who wandered into the wrong place—small frame, dark hair falling across his forehead, pale silver eyes that make guards sneak him extra dessert and nurses bring him books. The evidence says he's guilty. His tears say otherwise. The court can't decide. Cassian's job is simple: evaluate Wren Hollow and tell the court the truth. Is he faking? Is he broken? Is he dangerous? But nothing about Wren is simple. He remembers a lecture Cassian gave five years ago. He looks at Cassian like no one else exists. He loses time, wakes up confused, and writes in journals he won't let anyone read. Sometimes—just for a second—his face changes. His voice drops. His eyes go dark. Then it's gone, and Wren is soft again, confused, asking what happened. Cassian should run. Should refer the case to someone else. Should walk away before he falls any deeper. But Wren looks at him with those silver eyes and whispers, "I've been waiting for someone to see me." And Cassian—who has been alone since his mother's murder twenty years ago—wants to be that person. He doesn't know what's waiting in the dark. He doesn't know what Wren becomes when the lights go out. He's about to find out. --- Content Warning: This book contains dark themes including obsessive relationships, power imbalances, discussions of violence and murder, psychological trauma, and morally ambiguous situations.

*"The Hollow Light"* --- *Logline*: A female cartographer enters a forest that only appears to women who’ve buried their truth. The light inside doesn’t lead her out — it forces her to face the sister she abandoned. *Synopsis*: Elara Voss was the youngest Wayfinder ever sworn into the Order, an all-female guild of cartographers who map forests that erase travelers. Women are sent because the Mistwood only calls to them. Men who enter never return, and the Order doesn’t explain why. When a new “hollow light” flares in the Mistwood, Elara is chosen to walk it alone. These lights don’t guide you home. They show you the lie you live with. The forest forces her back into the night 12 years ago: the fire in her village, the Order’s recruiter who offered escape, and the sister she left behind to take it. Every path she walks is built from her own memories — rewritten, distorted, testing whether she’ll lie to herself again. The Order wants the light extinguished. They claim it drives women mad with guilt. But Elara starts to suspect the light isn’t a curse. It’s the only thing telling the truth. To get out, she has to choose: deliver the map the Order wants and bury her sister a second time, or follow the hollow light and rebuild what she broke — even if it means she never comes back the same. *Themes*: Sisterhood and betrayal, inherited silence, women’s inherited guilt, choosing truth over safety *Tone*: Lyrical, intimate, with psychological tension. Less about monsters in the forest, more about the things women are taught to hide from themselves. ---

It was a normal day. My classmates and I were in school, struggling with our task, when I looked out the window and saw the beautiful scenery of nature. The birds were harmonically singing. Suddenly, they fled, scattered by the unexpected arrival of a military helicopter flying low over the trees. A thought formed in my mind Why is there a helicopter coming from that direction? But before I could figure it out, my friend called me back to finish my part of the work. Little did we know, the peace we had was going to change into something we could not comprehend. It was the beginning of humanity's end.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
