Danny Ruiz is thirty-four, broke, and allergic to stability. After getting fired for a taco delivery incident involving a trampoline, a rogue chihuahua, and an unfortunately viral video, he’s left with no job, no direction, and no idea what he’s doing—again. Set in the real, weird heart of Austin, Texas, Keep Austin Awkward follows one lovable screw-up as he stumbles through food delivery gigs, accidental cat yoga fame, TikTok disasters, and a career comeback no one—least of all Danny—saw coming. But as his accidental internet stardom grows, so does the pressure to perform. When life off-screen throws him the hardest curveballs yet—from an estranged father to his beloved landlady’s failing health—Danny has to decide: is success worth it if it means losing the messy, beautiful parts of himself? Equal parts comedy, chaos, and true grit, Keep Austin Awkward is a story about falling down, getting back up, and realizing the most awkward thing you can do... is be fully, fearlessly yourself.

Your mine so I will do everything just be mine, I will not allow you to just go to someone else if I have to use force I will make you just be mine forever. I do not accept the word no so you like it or not you will be mine so be ready Isaac Aaron Atienza.

Look good. Live well. Forever. Pause, the popular drink that stops aging and lets people live forever, has struck the world like lightning. But seventeen-year-old Jasmine West thinks they’re shifty AF. Maybe because her older sister married the CEO of Pause and has been missing ever since. Now, some guy is stalking Jasmine, and he seems to know an awful lot about her sister. Desperate for answers, Jasmine meets up with two mysterious teens - a spy in the making and a smoking hot guy - who fill in some of her blanks. The result is terrifying.

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?

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?

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.
