One hour vanished from Detective Marcus Kane's life. He remembers kicking down the warehouse door, then nothing but blood on his knuckles and a corpse at his feet. No witnesses. No weapon. No memory. Now he's the department's most wanted, hunted by the brothers in blue who once had his back and tormented by jagged fragments of that stolen hour, fragments showing hands that move like his but aren't under his control. Then the second body drops. Same execution. Exactly one hour after the first. Marcus isn't just a suspect. He's a loaded gun in someone else's hand, and they're pulling the trigger on a schedule. Each victim ties back to a military black site that promised to erase his war trauma, not weaponize him into something unrecognizable. They didn't just take his memories, they programmed a killer into the void. His ex-partner Sarah believes him. Barely. She's risking everything to keep him one step ahead of the manhunt, but her faith cracks with every crime scene photo proving Marcus was there. And the killer inside him is waking up more with each passing hour. The facility's files are sealed. The doctors are dead. And Marcus has seventy-three minutes until the programming kicks in again. To stop the murders, he'll have to willingly step into the blackout and hope he comes back with answers instead of more blood. But his handler isn't some faceless bureaucrat; they're someone who knows exactly how to break him, because they built him. Marcus Kane has one hour to catch a killer. The killer is him. And the puppet master has been watching from inside his own department all along.

In a world governed by a sterile, mandatory AI-matching system, your soulmate is decided by a computer chip. But what happens when the machine gets it entirely wrong? Lyra Sterling is a low-tier scholarship student working late shifts in the Aethelgard Institute’s medical research labs. To the academy’s high-tech scanners, her Guide aura is practically non-existent. In reality, she possesses a terrifying, highly illegal mutation: a "Null Zone" capable of completely erasing sensory chaos. To avoid being weaponized by the military vanguard, she keeps her powers buried. Kaelen Vance is the institute’s crown jewel—an elite legacy Sentinel, a ruthless combat prodigy, and the heir to a military empire. He is already legally contracted to marry a high-society heiress based on a flawless, machine-calculated match. But Kaelen is secretly dying. His hyper-senses are red-lining, the telepathic noise of the campus is driving him feral, and the touch of his official match feels like agonizing electric shocks. He is on the absolute brink of a catastrophic sensory blowout. Until a campus-wide blackout plunges the academy into darkness, throwing a maddened Kaelen right into Lyra’s restricted lab. When Lyra touches him to save her lab from destruction, the screaming static in Kaelen's mind drops to a dead, blissful silence. For the first time in his life, touch doesn't bring pain—it brings pure, intoxicating ecstasy. The catch? Her suppressed Null Zone only activates during absolute, breathless physical intimacy. Desperate for the silence only she can provide, the arrogant tyrant is brought to his knees. They strike a dangerous, late-night pact behind closed doors: Lyra will trade her body to anchor his crumbling mind, and Kaelen will use his elite power to hide her illegal mutation from the authorities. Publicly, they are bitter enemies walking the campus halls. Privately, they are locked in a secret, addictive synchronization that threatens to burn the entire academy down. What to expect: * Enemies-to-Lovers / Forced Proximity * Possessive, Alpha Sentinel Lead x Brilliant, Defiant Guide Heroine * High-Heat R-18 Grounding Mechanics (Slow-burn emotions, fast-burn physical chemistry!) * Dark Academia, Campus Trials, and a Massive Global Conspiracy Arc

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?
