“No… I won't.” “Oh, petal, I wasn't asking. You WILL marry me.” **** Dr. Kiyomi, a neurosurgeon rogue lycan, lives in & never leaves the human hospital— the safest place for her. That’s until a high-profile mafia surgery goes wrong and she’s blamed for it despite being on leave. Suddenly the limelight is on her, forcing her rare last name back into the memories of people who have long wanted her dead — the Bogdan Lycans. As if that isn't enough, the Ivanov Russian mob is after her with vengeance in their hearts. Scared, Kiyomi leaves the hospital pretending to be a night-shift male nurse — which works, only for her to be kidnapped at the hospital’s entrance, by the cruel lycan queen’s guards who drag her to the queen Sakura’s human home. — — — Sakura Watanabe; the soulless crazy queen known to screw up everyone for fun. She ruins everything she touches and sucks the life out of everyone around her. She is bad, cruel, and a menace who does whatever she wants, however, and whenever she wants it. When she hears of Dr. Kiyomi’s misfortunes, she is curious to see what will make that lycan break, and orders that Kiyomi be brought to her, so she can sign the infamous Sakura contract that always leaves the signee dead, dead and dead. What Sakura doesn't factor in is the fact that the woman who walks through her door is her soulmate. And even worse is the desire she gets to protect Kiyomi. Not one to relent in the hands of fate, Sakura forces Kiyomi to sign the oppressive contract. What happens when Sakura's heart starts beating for Kiyomi, and she goes after everyone who hurt her soulmate? Will she cancel the contract and embrace love, or will she stay the stoic soulless queen with nothing to live for? And even better, how long can Sakura fight fate?

Born with extraordinary strength, Wen Ran suddenly transmigrates into the body of an unfortunate girl—one drained dry by her entire family and reduced to nothing more than a disposable background character in a sweet romance novel. Her stepmother and stepsister steal the original owner’s job, sell her off to a fool, and then kick her down to the countryside. To make matters worse, they turn around and slander her, claiming she refused to marry and ran away with the family's money. Burdened with infamy, the original owner endures endless suffering in the countryside—until she finally throws herself into the river. Wen Ran thought, "To hell with that!" She sells the job herself and beats the whole family to a pulp. She kicks the trash father, slaps the stepmother, and even thoughtfully signs her beloved stepsister up to be sent to the northern frontier—where she can dance with wolves. Since she’s already been accused of stealing the money, she might as well make it real. One sweep of her hand later, the house is left with nothing but four load-bearing walls. Before leaving, she doesn't forget to send in a report letter—getting her scumbag father fired for good. Sent down to the countryside, Wen Ran unexpectedly meets a rough, rogue-like man with a handsome edge. Rough men are great. Rough men are wonderful. And the best part? Rough men hand all their hard-earned money to their wives. Xiao Chenye, salary in his left hand and a ladle in his right, fixes her with a burning gaze. "Dear," he asks, "want to get married?" Completely swept away, Wen Ran answers without hesitation, "Yes! I do! Let's get married right now!"

In the powerful empire of Orendalia, Kael, a dominant alpha prince, had everything that anyone could want; a dominant gene, the king’s favour, and extreme wealth. He spent his entire life embodying perfection: an Alpha heir raised to inherit the throne, feared for his dominance, and respected for his control. But his world shatters when he is told the impossible... He is pregnant!!! 'How can that be, I am an alpha!' With no explanation and no memory to justify it, Kael is forced into a truth that threatens not only his claim to the throne but his very identity. In a court where weakness is hunted and secrets are weapons, even a whisper of his condition would mean ruin. He goes to great lengths to hide his pregnancy as he investigates the mysteries around him. As his body begins to change, Kael is pushed to a corner. But when he tracks the father down to the king of the neighbouring kingdom, Alek Falanae, the twisted humour that's his new reality becomes even more dangerously complicated. Will Prince Kael manage to navigate these new waters and find solid ground again or not?

Some memories don’t leave us. They just sit quietly in one corner of the heart, waiting- for a smell, a voice, a place- to wake them up again. The Scent of Our Yesterday started as a simple village-to-city love story: two kids, a childhood bond, a breakup of distance, a reunion in a busy modern world. As I kept writing, Ha-rin and Jae-hyun refused to stay “simple”. Their love kept circling back like time itself… so the story also grew into something bigger. This series is about: childhood innocence in a small village, college fights and ego, corporate politics and pressure, misunderstandings, second chances, and one love that keeps coming back, even when time, destiny, and people try to break it. Later, you’ll also see a touch of mystery and time—loops, echoes, fragments of “what if we had chosen differently?”. But at its heart, it is still the same: one boy, one girl, one long journey of growing up, getting hurt, healing, and finding their way back to each other without losing themselves. I wanted the story to feel close to us- emotional, little funny, a bit dramatic, but always honest. If while reading, you remember your first crush, your campus days, your family, your old village, or that one person who still feels like “home” somewhere in your heart- that is enough for me. Thank you for staying with Ha-rin and Jae-hyun… through their yesterdays, echoes, and tomorrows. -- qwrhsth4
