Di balik dapur yang dipenuhi cahaya hangat dan aroma mentega yang perlahan mencair di atas wajan, Anongnart Phongphattanakulchai, atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai Nine, percaya pada satu hal sederhana: setiap orang berhak memiliki hidangan yang terasa seperti rumah. Bertahun-tahun ia mengasah kemampuannya di dapur-dapur terbaik Paris, hingga akhirnya meraih penghargaan Michelin Star yang diimpikan banyak chef. Namun, setelah semua pencapaian itu, Nine justru memilih kembali ke Bangkok untuk membuka restoran bernama Lumiere, tempat di mana setiap hidangan dirancang seolah dibuat hanya untuk satu orang di dunia. Di sisi lain, Sarachatawee Van Rijn, atau Sasi Van Rijn, adalah nama besar di industri hiburan. Model berdarah Thailand–Belanda itu kerap berjalan di runway internasional, menghiasi billboard raksasa, dan bahkan mulai menaklukkan layar lebar. Namun di balik gemerlap lampu kamera, hidup Sasi jauh lebih rumit daripada yang terlihat. Tubuhnya menolak banyak hal: sayuran yang terkena pestisida, nanas, kacang-kacangan, pemanis buatan, bahkan beberapa sumber protein seperti seafood. Makan di restoran sering kali berubah menjadi pengalaman menegangkan, seolah setiap piring bisa menjadi ancaman. Takdir mempertemukan mereka ketika seorang produser film mengajak Sasi makan malam di Lumiere. Restoran itu terkenal bukan hanya karena rasa makanannya, tetapi karena reputasi Nine yang mampu memahami selera tamu-tamunya seperti membaca rahasia yang tersembunyi di balik senyuman mereka. Namun bagi Nine, Sasi adalah pelanggan paling menantang yang pernah ia temui—daftar alerginya begitu panjang hingga hampir seluruh menu restoran menjadi mustahil untuk disajikan. Alih-alih menyerah, Nine justru menciptakan hidangan baru khusus untuknya. Malam itu, untuk pertama kalinya setelah bertahun-tahun, Sasi makan tanpa rasa takut. Sejak saat itu, kunjungan Sasi ke Lumiere menjadi semakin sering. Di balik setiap hidangan yang dirancang dengan hati-hati, tumbuh percakapan yang semakin dalam, tatapan yang semakin lama, dan perasaan yang perlahan sulit disembunyikan. Bagi Sasi, restoran itu menjadi tempat paling aman di dunia—sebuah safe plate tempat ia bisa mempercayakan dirinya sepenuhnya. Namun bagi Nine, yang terbiasa mengekspresikan segalanya lewat makanan, ada satu pertanyaan yang semakin sulit dihindari: apakah perasaan yang ia masukkan ke dalam setiap hidangan untuk Sasi akan pernah benar-benar tersampaikan? Di antara aroma dapur, rahasia masa lalu, dan dunia gemerlap yang tak pernah benar-benar ramah, dua perempuan dari dunia yang berbeda perlahan menemukan bahwa terkadang… satu piring makanan bisa menjadi awal dari sebuah kisah cinta.

Imagine watching your life crack apart slowly… Not all at once, but day after day… month after month… year after year… until one morning you wake up and realize you cannot endure it anymore. Martha was not a bad woman. She was simply exhausted. Exhausted by the children, by the house, by the loneliness, and by a husband she once loved so deeply that she believed love alone was enough to build a happy family. But as the years passed, every beautiful thing between them began to disappear little by little… the care, the kind words, the laughter, and even the ability to speak without fighting. Until the day she raised her hand against her son for the very first time. And the moment she saw the fear in his eyes… she realized that something inside this home had been broken forever. Between a husband suffocating under the pressure of work, a wife silently falling apart, and two children who fear every night that they might lose their family… a painful journey begins to save whatever love still remains within this family, even if the cracks never truly disappear.

My take on the original little mermaid tale.

Excellent

They said living is like walking in a thick layer of fog, you can neither see far ahead nor see upon the path you threaded upon. You never know if your step will lead you to a glorious or damnation end, heck you might not even reach the end. No one knows the future and no one would expect doomsday to occur. Yet it is now the reality of the inhabitants of a planet named Maia. Monsters show up, myths considered to be no more than empty stories appear and the position of the Apex species naturally shifts. What path should the humans take? Everything is shrouded by fog. Follows the journey of Link and his mates. Will he succumbs to hardship or tread-on throughout the unknown foggy path.

Sixteen-year-old Elira never wanted power. She only wanted to survive, hiding from the shadow of her family’s legacy and the Wardens who burn anyone who disobeys the Ember Oaths. But when a dying ember stirs within her and bonds to her soul, Elira is thrust into a centuries-old cycle of prophecy, rebellion, and flame.

Before Feng Yi ascended the throne, no one wanted to marry this prince who lacked presence and was out of favor. After his ascension, the harem was filled with the daughters of high-ranking court officials. They were an eyesore to look at and vexing to deal with. He felt that even favoring them would defile his own dragon body. He decided to choose a woman with a fiery, arrogant, domineering, and jealous nature to enter the palace, to cast all this "trash" into the Cold Palace on his behalf. Song Yunzhao had transmigrated to ancient times for fourteen years, all the while laying low and just trying to get by. She was just waiting for the plot to begin, then she would transform into a villainess—arrogant, domineering, fiery, and jealous—so that she would be rejected from the selection and could then choose a husband to live a carefree and happy life with. Later, Song Yunzhao watched as His Majesty smiled at her with immense indulgence and said, "Zhaozhao, come here." Song Yunzhao immediately felt that something was terribly wrong, a chill running up from the soles of her feet. The damned Emperor wore a gentle expression, but his eyes were as cold as ice; he clearly wanted to use her as his blade!
