"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

Aurora Waters was overwhelmed with despair when she faced the truth about her family. She had been born into a family of villains. Even worse, her family had an unhealthy obsession with faking their identities. They took “Fake it till you make it” so seriously that it usually ended with them getting killed! Her oldest brother pretended to be a CEO just to mess with the female lead, but that backfired when the male lead showed up and threw him out. Her second brother? He was an obsessive lover who pretended to be a wealthy second-generation heir—until the real heir ended his life. Her third sister? She faked being an heiress to manipulate the second male lead but ended up being killed by him. Her fourth sister? She faked an illness to attract the third male lead’s attention, only to die from a real one. Her mother? She put on a facade of being a kind and loving mom but ultimately met her end at the hands of the male lead. Her father? He pretended to be a powerful tycoon but lost his job and was drowned by the second male lead. And Aurora? She planned to impersonate the daughter of the richest man alive, but if things went the way they always did in her family, she’d probably meet her end by accidentally falling down the stairs. However, there was one glimmer of hope in this nightmare: she had a 100% rebate system that rewarded her for spending money on her family! [Beep! You bought an eraser worth 1 dollar for your eldest brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] [Beep! You bought a candy worth 1 dollar for your second brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] Aurora’s eyes sparkled as an idea took shape. She began spending on her family like crazy to rake in cash. [Beep! You gave a bun worth 20 dollars to your childhood crush! 100 dollars has been credited to your bank account!] Aurora: …! That’s walking money! What Aurora didn't expect, though, was that she would end up becoming one of the technology big shots herself, in the end.

Tara is 23, unemployed by choice (kind of), and dangerously close to being labeled “wasted potential” by her extended family. After surviving engineering college, job rejections, and one painfully awkward arranged marriage meeting, she’s decided to take a break — not a vacation, but a full-on life pause. Her plan? Thirty days of doing absolutely nothing society expects. No resumes. No LinkedIn. No “So, what are you doing with your life?” Just tea, a notebook, and a personal rebellion disguised as self-care. Armed with sarcasm, half-baked ideas, and one loyal tea cup, Tara sets out to rediscover herself through random little adventures: painting again, helping her friend elope, ignoring her cousin's influencer drama, and confronting a heartbreak she’s been pretending never happened. But as the days pass, she finds that “doing nothing” is actually harder than it looks — especially when everything you’ve buried starts to surface. Funny, brutally honest, and unexpectedly healing, Chai, Chaos, and Other Life Choices is a story about letting go, showing up for yourself, and realizing that maybe not having it all figured out… is perfectly fine.

"Even if I can't take revenge on earth, I will personally fetch your souls from hell. I will be your karma in life." When Sharlene Francisco’s daughter falls into a coma and her dreams are haunted by a woman’s cries, her peaceful life begins to unravel. A series of mysterious visions lead her to her grandmother’s old notebook—one that reveals a chilling truth: someone was buried alive, and a soul seeks justice.

As Sharlene uncovers the ties that link her to the powerful Santiago, Gonzalez, and Rosario families, the line between the living and the dead begins to blur. Ghosts whisper. Karma hunts. The past demands payment. Will she survive uncovering the truth—or will she be its next victim?

She never wanted revenge—until her sister made it personal. Ellie Wrenmoor always stayed in her lane. She followed the rules, kept her head down, and accepted the path chosen for her — even the engagement arranged for the good of the family. But when Lily, her pretentious and manipulative older sister, crossed a line Ellie didn’t even know she’d drawn, it wasn’t heartbreak she felt — it was humiliation. Drained, betrayed, and expected to stay quiet, Ellie finally decided she wouldn’t. Now, Ellie’s done being the passive one. With nothing left to lose, she launches her long-awaited fashion line — not just to succeed, but to do it under Lily’s nose. And with the help of Caden Hale — the man Lily once loved and the one now quietly standing at Ellie’s side — she begins to take back her power piece by piece. But Caden has secrets of his own… and a reason for watching Ellie that runs deeper than ambition. Meanwhile, Lily’s carefully curated life begins to splinter. Her past mistakes creep back like cracks in porcelain, and the sweet, delicate image she built starts to collapse. When the mask finally slips, Ellie sees her chance — and this time, she strikes with no mercy.
