Cosmic Architecture and the Universe

For three years, Li Xian, a brilliant architect with a heart of gold, was the shadow in Sheng Anqi’s life. He was the one who fixed her plumbing at 2:00 AM, brought her favorite porridge when she was sick, and waited in the rain just to see her smile. But to Anqi, a woman who built walls higher than the skyscrapers she managed, his devotion felt like a cage. After her cold rejection of his most heartfelt gift, Li Xian finally hits his breaking point. He doesn't scream; he doesn't cry. He simply says, "I'm tired, Anqi. I think I’m done." When the silence follows, Anqi initially feels a sense of victory—until the "Li Xian-sized hole" in her life begins to swallow her whole. As she starts to realize that her "independence" was actually built on his silent support, she finds herself doing the unthinkable: chasing the man she spent years pushing away. Meanwhile, chaos erupts behind the scenes. Li Meilin, Xian’s impulsive sister, and Han Jinyu, Anqi’s stoic best friend, wake up after a night of venting and drinking to find themselves in the same bed. To prevent a PR nightmare for Meilin and solve Jinyu’s financial woes, the two polar opposites sign a one-year marriage contract. Now, they must navigate a fake life together while their best friends and siblings play a high-stakes game of emotional hide-and-seek.

Five years ago, the most powerful beasts were annihilated, leading to an era of development. But to Luthor, that nightmare of powerlessness had never ended. He wanted their power, there ability to harness dark energy. When a golden star lights up the night sky as it falls towards the other continent, his instincts whisper of it being the key to a groundbreaking discovery, setting off an adventure to the place humanity has never stepped before!

In a Tokyo that is slowly fading into grey, shadows are more than just reflections—they are the physical form of human memories. When people lose their shadows, they forget their most precious moments forever. Sora, a young architect struggling to hold onto his own flickering past, encounters Hana, a mysterious girl who stands on rooftops weaving lost memories into the night sky with a shimmering glass loom. Together, they must uncover the secret behind the "Great Fading" before the city’s heart is erased entirely. A story of love, loss, and the threads that bind our souls.

Five years ago, Maya Vance fled the predatory corporate underbelly of Seattle with nothing but her newborn son and a fractured spirit, leaving behind a hidden life as an elite on-call companion to ensure her child's medical survival. Settling into a quiet, fog-swept coastal town in Oregon, she finds sanctuary working as an operations consultant for ClearView Glass Design, an architectural firm owned by Jayden Cross, her first love and childhood protector. Jayden is everything she should not crave. He is stable, respected, and locked into a high-profile relationship built on small-town business alliances and familial duty. When an aggressive, wealthy regular from Maya’s past tracks her down to contract a major commercial glazing layout, the safety of her new life is stripped away in front of her workspace. Drowning in guilt and years of starved passion, Maya attempts to cut ties and run, but Jayden refuses to let her disappear into the dark again. In a world where secrets pierce deeper than shattered glass, they must decide if they can survive the fallout and reconstruct a permanent future together out of the wreckage of their choices.

Demons don’t fall from the sky. They don’t crawl out of pits. They have always been here, breathing our air, lurking in the places we pretend don't exist. ​Xavier grew up on these words, whispered by his grandfather. As a scion of the Cinderashes—a legendary bloodline of demon hunters —vengeance is in his blood. Following his mother’s brutal murder, Xavier vows to hunt down and kill the entity responsible. He will not rest until it burns. ​But to destroy monsters, Xavier had to become one. ​Now, questions haunt his every hunt: Is he a demon or a human? Which side does he belong to? How can a demon kill a demon? Driven by the volatile entity dwelling within him and sheer determination, Xavier fights ruthlessly. Yet, his crusade earns him nothing but whispers, jealousy, and deep-seated hatred from the very guild he protects. This worsens when his secret gets out. ​When the hunter guild turns its blades against him, and the underworld demands his head, Xavier is caught in a lethal crossfire. The demons don't just want him dead—they want the dark power trapped inside his soul. In a world where the lines between protector and predator have turned to ash, Xavier must survive long enough to find his mother's killer, even if it means burning down the foundations of everything he was born to protect. THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-THREE(333...).

In a world where the future merges with the past, architecture student Elara finds herself captivated by Elias, a man with a mysterious connection to the ancient, forgotten spaces of Venice. Together, they embark on a journey through hidden tunnels and secret courtyards, guided by a series of enigmatic blueprints that lead them to a shocking revelation about the city's origins. But as they uncover the truth, they must decide if their love is strong enough to survive the consequences of revealing the unspoken things that have been hidden for centuries.

The system didn't save humanity. It fed on it. When the world fractured at 14:02, everyone got a class, a skill, a purpose. Atlas got Shadow Siphon. While others fight to survive the collapse, Atlas hunts something more valuable than safety: the raw terror of a dying civilization, converted into pure intelligence. He is not a hero. He is not a villain. He is the only one who understood what the system actually is. [LitRPG | System Apocalypse | Antihero] [No harem. No plot armor. No mercy.]

They call her fragile. They call her a disappointment. But Alessia knows the truth: she is a mirror image of a woman who cannot bear to look at her own reflection. In The Architecture of a Shadow, Alessia survives in the cold silence of her family's marble halls, branded as the "unfinished" daughter. Her only warmth is her brother Leo, the golden heir who shields her from their mother’s ice. But as Alessia tries to find her own light, she discovers that the world outside the dining hall is just as ruthless as the one inside. When the person she dares to love becomes the one to finally tear her apart, Alessia must find out what happens when a shadow is pushed into total darkness. Is she a glass doll meant to be broken, or is she the foundation that will bring the whole house down?

In a world where silence protects the guilty and truth is buried beneath fear, one broken boy decides to rewrite the rules. Arthur was once invisible—just another victim swallowed by relentless bullying, his pain ignored and his voice unheard. But everything changes on a storm-filled night when something inside him finally snaps. What begins as a desire for revenge quickly evolves into something far more dangerous: a calculated descent into psychological warfare. Armed not with strength, but with patience and precision, Arthur begins dismantling his tormentors from within. His primary target, Michael Pradana—the untouchable golden boy of the school—hides a dark secret tied to a tragic rooftop incident that was never meant to resurface. But Arthur knows the truth. And worse—he knows how to make others remember it. As anonymous messages, manipulated evidence, and buried memories begin to surface, paranoia spreads like a virus. Friendships fracture, trust dissolves, and reality itself becomes uncertain. With each move, Arthur tightens his grip, turning guilt into a weapon and fear into control. But revenge comes at a cost. As the line between justice and obsession blurs, Arthur risks becoming something even more terrifying than the people who once destroyed him. Because in a game where perception defines reality, the question is no longer who is right or wrong— —but who will break first.
