1 Micah, my spouse's old flame, accused me of deliberate murder. In turn, my husband chose "righteousness" over familial loyalty and spearheaded the effort to capture me. He even teamed up with Micah to broadcast my alleged "offenses" live to the entire online community. However, when he finally tracked me down after much effort, he learned that I had passed away a week earlier. Crash! My husband, Denver Watkins, forcefully kicked open the entrance to our home. "She must be concealed somewhere in here! Inspect every corner!" he instructed the law enforcement officers accompanying him. Police with weapons passed through

In a world where a person’s Vessel determines their power, status, and survival, a young man named Soren awakens like everyone else. But something goes wrong. His Vessel doesn’t stabilize. It cracks. Now marked as an imperfection in a system that only values perfection, Soren is taken into the Silver Spire Academy where failures don’t get second chances. They don’t execute broken vessels. They study them. And as the Academy tries to shape him into something usable, Soren must survive in a place where even existing incorrectly can be a death sentence. Because in the Spire, being powerful isn’t enough. You have to be whole.

In a world ruled by mega-corporations, your worth is measured by the steel you pilot. To the elites, Frames are divine, perfect war machines that grant power, wealth, and godhood. To Abel, they are nothing but overpriced scrap waiting to be torn apart. Down in the toxic graveyard of Sector 4, survival is a daily negotiation with hunger and rust. Abel keeps his head low, his instincts sharp, and his one constant problem, his reckless mechanic partner Roxy, barely alive. That fragile routine shatters when a routine corporate collection turns into a bloodbath. Cornered, bleeding, and out of options, Abel awakens something buried beneath the scrapyard. Not a machine. Not a weapon. An apex predator. The Crimson Genesis is a forbidden "True Mecha" that hungers for the cores of other Frames, growing stronger with every kill and breaking every law of engineering and reason. Now, Abel is no longer invisible. He is a glitch in the system. A virus in the hierarchy. A nightmare clawing its way into the spotlight. He tears through elite prodigies like Zayden Prime, shattering their manufactured perfection. He draws the obsession of Noelle VII, the untouchable corporate princess whose smile hides something far more dangerous than madness. The corporations believe they rule the future of war. They are wrong. Because something older, hungrier, and far more violent has entered the food chain. And it does not pilot machines. It devours them.

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? 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.
