"Blue Star 4.0 will begin its maintenance-free update at 12:00 AM on April 1st. The main content and adjustments of this update are as follows." "New monthly rule 'Active Talent' added: All players must converse with others for a total of 1000 sentences every day..." When an abrupt notification sound echoed in the ears of all humans on Blue Star. The world faced its cleansing. In every monthly version update, a new rule would descend, which all players had to obey. ...

“One month, Brandon. Let me be your wife in every sense of the word.” It was a desperate pact. For Elara Serace, it was a reckless hope—a chance to carry a piece of the man she loved with her forever. The only thing she would take from a marriage that was meant to be her punishment. She knew from the start their union was never about love. The cold, commanding CEO Brandon Sterling only married her as atonement, a debt for a life lost. There were no tender moments, no shared glances—just the chilling silence of being a ghost in his grand estate. Still, Elara endured it, clinging to the sliver of hope that he might one day see her. But that hope was shattered by the truth: he planned to cast her aside for his real love, the supermodel Seraphina Halloway. And his entire family applauded his choice. Heartbroken and out of options, Elara made her one last bargain: one month of intimacy. One month… before she vanished without a trace. Brandon thought it was a pathetic, desperate bargain. But that single month haunts him. The way she felt in his arms, the strength in her quiet eyes. Especially what she left behind—a secret legacy, a son with his own piercing blue eyes. Now, Brandon is consumed by regret. When the woman he threw away is finally within his grasp again, he finds she’s not his to take. She has a new life, a new love, and a child he’ll do anything to reclaim. But can he tear her new world apart to claim his legacy, or will he find it’s far too late to win back the family he never realized he wanted?

There's a girl named Hadley who only wants to spend her full time inside the library not until he gets the attention of the four boys on their campus.

Louis Smith never believed in love, he always thought of it as a dead weight. Claire Montgomery never allowed herself to hope for it. When a one-month contract marriage becomes the only way for him to secure the CEO seat he’s worked for his entire life, he is left to ask the one person he found fitting— and she agrees because deep down she would love to fully understand the complexities of the marriage her friends have idolized. She’s been quietly carrying the weight of family expectations, personal insecurities, and the fear of being alone in a world that measures women by their marital status. Accepting this contract is her chance to step into control of her own story, even if it’s only for a month. Living together, sharing small moments, pretending to be a married couple… it doesn’t stay pretend for long. The walls they’ve built around their hearts begin to crumble, leaving them vulnerable in ways neither anticipated. And when fear, pride, and past pain collide, the contract ends and so does the fragile trust they’ve started to build. For him, it becomes a lesson in loss. For her, a test of self-respect. And for both, the realization that love doesn’t follow contracts or timelines. Now he has three months to prove he’s more than the man who walked away… to show her that love isn’t something you fear, it’s something worth fighting for. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   “Marry me” he said, in the most calm expression.   I felt the breath leave my lungs. “I beg your pardon?” “I know this is probably coming off as a shock to you” he says, seated on his chair, arms propped forward, resting on his desk.   “You think” I respond, sarcastically. Hoping I had just heard wrong.    “This is not a joke, I am being very serious.” he said calmly.   “You’re… proposing?” I asked faintly.  “Yes.” he answers coolly.   I shook my head, confused. “But, I’m your secretary, you are my boss.”    “I’m aware, which is why I trust you. You don’t seem to be interested in me, I’ve watched you for two years,” he said evenly. “You’ve never tried to step beyond your role, never used familiarity as leverage.”   I’m still thoroughly confused, “Sir, If this is some sick joke or a test or some sort of of stress induced breakdown, I’ll suggest you inform your doctor.”   He laughed quietly, and I was surprised. He looks really handsome when he laughs.    “I’m perfectly sane,” he replied with a hint of humor in his voice. “Sit down. Please.”
