When we were seventeen

In the vibrant corridors of St. Mira’s High School, five unlikely friends forge a bond that becomes their anchor in the stormy sea of teenage life. Rohit, the class representative and son of a widowed school teacher, carries a quiet maturity far beyond his years. His best friend, Ishaan, is the charming heartthrob whose confidence masks hidden insecurities. Together, they are the dynamic duo everyone knows. Though divided by classes, they are united by something deeper—trust. Isha, with her innocent charm; Shubhangi, the graceful dancer; and Shubham, the joke-cracking mood-maker, complete the circle. Their friendship is unbreakable, filled with laughter, secrets, and silent crushes—like Rohit’s soft spot for Isha, and the unspoken rumors linking Ishaan and Shubhangi, though both insist they’re just friends. Everything changes when a mysterious new girl named Maaya transfers to the school. Graceful, intelligent, and carrying a quiet depth, Maaya captures everyone’s attention. As she slowly becomes part of their lives, hidden feelings emerge, old bonds are tested, and the once-simple days start to shift. Behind the laughter and class drama, a web of personal struggles and family secrets begins to unravel. As friendships are challenged and love blossoms in unexpected corners, the group must navigate through misunderstandings, emotional revelations, and a mystery that quietly haunts one of them. Will their friendship survive the changes?

The Villainess Now Has the Whole Galaxy on Their Knees

The Villainess Now Has the Whole Galaxy on Their Knees

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
