THE HUNTER WHO GOT HUNTED

Arnav Singh Raizada built empires, crushed competitors, and never let anything slip past his control. Until one ordinary afternoon, when a quiet, stubborn girl walked into his world—and something inside him snapped into focus. Khushi Kumari Gupta is not looking for danger. She only wants a stable job, a predictable life, and enough distance from the chaos she grew up in. But the moment she crosses paths with the man who owns half of Delhi, her life tilts off its axis. What begins as curiosity turns into fixation. Arnav’s rules start breaking one by one. He wants her near. He wants her dependent. And when wanting is not enough—he buys the company she works for just to pull her into his world. Khushi tries to resist the magnetic pull between them, but she is drawn deeper into his intensity. His protectiveness feels dangerous. His coldness feels addictive. And his eyes tell her one truth—he is not letting her go. Somewhere between fear and desire, she falls first. She falls harder. But love changes hunters too. The man who never bent for anyone now finds himself bending for her—obsessing, unraveling, and becoming the one who risks losing everything. In this dark-soft romance, two fates collide. Possession turns into devotion. A predator discovers weakness. And a woman who should have run becomes the only one capable of destroying him… or saving him. When the lines between love and obsession blur, who becomes the real hunter—and who becomes the hunted?

Earth-717: Zola Munroe

There are countless worlds in the vast architecture of existence. Galaxies beyond galaxies. Realities layered atop realities. So many Earths that even I, The Watcher, long ago abandoned names in favor of numbers, if only to keep order in the endless sprawl of possibility. Some Earths rise as empires beneath iron crowns. Some fall to plagues that leave only superheroes shambling as the dead. Some divide themselves into strange absolutes—worlds of only men, worlds of only women, worlds where humanity kneels in chains beneath the rule of beasts. Every universe is different. And yet, among the infinite, there exists a rarer kind of world: a reality that is almost identical to another. I watch those worlds most closely. There is Earth-616—the sacred spine of heroic history, where legends rise as they always have. And then there is Earth-717. A world that is ninety-nine percent the same. The same nations. The same wars. The same heroes. The same tragedies. The same cosmic paths. Only one life diverges. One soul. One storm. One destiny. On this Earth, the child born beneath the priestess bloodline of Kenya, the orphan of Cairo, the weather god of the Serengeti, and the future leader of the X-Men walks the same road as his counterpart in another reality. The same pain. The same choices. The same greatness. But where one world gave rise to Ororo Munroe… This Earth gave the sky a son. His name is Zola Munroe. And it is fascinating how a universe can remain almost unchanged… while a single altered life makes destiny feel entirely new.

My Other Fiancé

Synopsis In the quiet, lush countryside of Qingyun Township, Lin Meiying has always known simplicity. She is engaged to her childhood sweetheart, Chen Weiliang, and dreams of a quiet life while working hard to support her younger brother Lin Yutang’s ambition to become a doctor. But when her father passes away, Meiying discovers a devastating secret he left behind: a crippling gambling debt that threatens to take away everything she holds dear including their family home and the land she planned to sell for Yutang’s education. To settle the debt, her father made one final, desperate arrangement: Meiying is to marry Li Yuhan, the son of the wealthy and powerful man her father owed money to. Yuhan is a figure from the bustling, modern metropolis of Shanghai, a man shrouded in mystery and surrounded by the cold, imposing world of high business a world far removed from Meiying’s rural roots. Refusing to let her family lose their home or her brother lose his future, but equally unwilling to marry a stranger and abandon her love for Weiliang, Meiying travels to Shanghai. She heads straight to the gleaming Li Tower, ready to beg Yuhan to release her from the engagement, offering to repay the debt however she can. To her shock, Yuhan agrees without hesitation, promising to return the title to her home and land. But just as Meiying’s relief begins to settle, Yuhan does something that shatters her world completely: he pulls her into a passionate, searing kiss that leaves her breathless and confused. In that single moment, the clear path she thought she was walking becomes tangled in ways she never imagined. As Meiying returns to her life in the countryside, she finds herself torn between the familiar love she has always known and the magnetic pull of the man who set her free only to leave her heart in turmoil. With family secrets slowly unraveling, old debts refusing to stay buried, and emotions she can no longer control, Meiying must navigate a future that is no longer hers alone to decide. Will she choose the life she planned, or will she follow a new path paved with unexpected passion and promise?

REBIRTH : Chasing The Limelight

Elara’s first life crashed hard. Cruel tricks ruined her name, broke her dreams, and turned the whole entertainment world against her. Friends betrayed her. Lovers sold her out. Everyone she trusted stabbed her in the back. The pain piled up until she felt trapped with no way out. One night, she couldn’t take it anymore. She walked to the river and ended it all in the cold, quiet water. Later, proof came out. Messages. Recordings. Everything showed she had been framed. People posted apologies online. But it was too late. She was already gone. The universe, though, clearly has a twisted sense of humor. Because somehow, Elara came back. She woke up in her own past, every awful memory still sharp in her head. Right then she made a promise she would never break: protect her gentle grandfather no matter what, and never let anyone push her to that dark place again. This time she steps into the entertainment world with her head high. She trains harder, sings better, fights smarter. The same people who once crushed her? Now they get to feel the pressure. Love? Not happening. Her heart is locked tight. But why is it that as she rises and shines brighter, handsome, powerful men start circling her—guys who never even glanced at her in her previous life were now hovering around her. The actor smiled at her during a press interview, leaned closer, and said softly, “We should have dinner sometime.” The footballer sent flowers so big they blocked her room door. The surgeon she met at a charity event checked her pulse and then forgot to let go of her wrist. The singer she collaborated with kept calling her name during rehearsals, as if the mic could not hear him well enough. Elara stared at the ceiling that night and sighed. She only wanted to sing. Why did everyone look like they wanted to adopt her, date her, or both? But the worst one came after the concert. The lights had just gone off. Her ears were still ringing. Sweat clung to her neck. She had barely stepped backstage when a shadow blocked her path. She looked up. The CEO of the greatest company in Aurelia stood there. The same man who once said her voice was “not worth investing in.” The same man who did not even know her name before rebirth. Now he held her wrist lightly, but firmly. “Let’s talk,” he said. Elara blinked. “About… sponsorship?” “No,” he replied calmly. “About marriage.” Her brain froze. “…What?” “I will give you everything,” he continued, as if asking for a glass of water. “Resources. Protection. Freedom to sing. Become my wife.” Elara stared at him, her mouth open, her thoughts running in circles. This was not how it was supposed to be. Why was the world now skipping steps? NB: This story takes place in a fictional world. Aurelia is a country. Solmere, Veston, and Starfall City are the three capital cities of Aurelia. Other cities, such as Lorien and Crelou, are smaller cities.
