**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● The heavy thud of the bridegroom’s footsteps echoed against the polished floorboards of the veranda. The pungent, sharp scent of wine mingled with the cold night air. Dazed and unsteady, he flung open the carved double doors with the reckless haste of a drunkard and stumbled inside. Hàn Yuè (汉月) sat on the edge of the bed, silent and with her head bowed. Her thin, white nightdress stood out in stark contrast to the darkness of the room, which was illuminated only by the flickering candlelight. Her chest rose and fell rapidly with every breath; she knew this union was no marriage, but a blood pact between two powerful clans. The groom cast a heavy, bleary-eyed gaze over her. He slammed the door shut and leaned against it. Hàn Yuè looked up, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. A cruel sneer played on the man’s lips as he rasped: "I still find it hard to believe that the unattainable daughter of the Lán (嵐) clan has fallen into my hands like this. Well... such was your fate; you had better get used to it. From now on, we are husband and wife, and we have got a long, exciting night ahead of us!" Without a word, Hàn Yuè rose. With a sorrowful expression, her trembling hands reached for the ties of her robe; the soft silk slipped from her shoulders and pooled onto the floor. The groom, his eyes glinting with arrogance, reached to untie his sash when, suddenly… The silence that had engulfed the room was shattered by the horrific sound of splintering wood. The broad blade of a sword pierced through the wooden door with unrestrained violence, passing straight through the groom's spine. The bloodied tip of the blade protruded from his abdomen, stopping directly in front of Hàn Yuè’s terrified eyes. Pinned to the door, the groom’s eyes bulged from their sockets as his body convulsed. A stifled, rattling sound emanated from his throat. Hàn Yuè covered her mouth with trembling hands and staggered back in horror. A moment later, the shadow behind the door pulled the sword out with a swift, ruthless motion. A fountain of blood sprayed from the groom’s mouth, splattering the floorboards and staining the girl’s white skirt. The man’s knees gave way, and he collapsed face-first onto the ground. Hàn Yuè’s long, piercing scream echoed through the cold air of the chamber, whilst dark red droplets of blood had left their mark upon the white silk of her gown. **ABSTRACT** Prince Hēiláng (黑狼), desperately enamoured with the noblewoman Hàn Yuè, finds his path to union thwarted by formidable political constraints. In his quest to claim her, he strikes a perilous bargain—a choice that irrevocably alters the course of their lives and unleashes consequences far more brutal than he had ever conceived.

[Warning: Mature Smut Content!] Office Love is a witty, heartfelt story. Miguel has only one talent in life: avoiding responsibility. At twenty-six, he spends his days drifting between bars, late mornings, and borrowing money from his parents. Work, ambition, and discipline are things that happen to other people. Miguel prefers a simpler philosophy—life is meant to be enjoyed, not endured. Unfortunately for him, his parents disagree. One morning, his peaceful, irresponsible life comes crashing down when his father forces him to take a job at a friend’s company. Just like that, Miguel is thrown into the strange and confusing world of office life—phones ringing nonstop, customers complaining about everything under the sun, and coworkers who take their jobs far more seriously than he ever could. Among them are two very different women. Camille, cheerful, sharp-tongued, and impossible to ignore. And Angela—cold, beautiful, and clearly unimpressed by the new guy who looks like he wandered into the office by mistake. Miguel never planned to work here. He definitely never planned to stay. But between ridiculous misunderstandings, chaotic office politics, old street connections that refuse to let him go, and a certain woman who slowly begins to change the rhythm of his reckless life… Miguel starts to realize something dangerous. Maybe this place isn’t as boring as he thought. Maybe this job isn’t just a punishment. And maybe—just maybe—the man who never wanted responsibility might accidentally find something worth holding onto. In a world where sarcasm is armor and laughter hides old scars, Office Love is a witty, heartfelt story about growing up too late, falling in love when you least expect it, and discovering that sometimes the most unexpected place to change your life… is a tiny desk in a noisy office. =================== This work is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real nations, organizations, or events is purely coincidental.

The only problem? Their five-year marriage was built on the consequences of one drunken night. To add insult to injury - Dan has always been in love with Amber Ann’s older sister, the glamorous, humanitarian Jessica Jeanine Lance.

She is finally ready to build the dream her family always dismissed as "just a hobby": a specialized bakery on the peaceful outskirts of Carson City.

The chase is on to find Amber Ann, confess his true feelings, and convince the brilliant, newly independent woman that his second choice was the right choice all along.

But fate has other plans. Thanks to a pair of forgetful gods who accidentally left him stranded in the reincarnation stream, Satou is reborn as the weakest creature imaginable: a baby goblin. Now, trapped in a tiny, green body with stubby arms and a voice that only produces gibberish, Satou must navigate a harsh and unforgiving world where goblins are nothing more than cannon fodder. To make matters worse, he’s surrounded by other baby goblins who see him as their personal chew toy and an old goblin elder who believes he’s the key to an ancient prophecy.

He knows exactly how adult fantasy games work so when he gets sucked into the eroge game he was studying for several purposes, he thought he has a massive advantage. But he got in as a wanderer. It is the absolute worst starting class as he has zero mana and no combat stats. Then the system drops his main objective. [Sleep with as many Main Bosses as you could] What to expect: - Weak to strong MC. - Comedy that doesn't overshadow the plot. - Smut that actually matters. - Harem members with actual personality. - There will be no Yuri or NTR.
