Astrol_Astrid
When Scarlett Fox’s privileged life crumbles overnight, she’s forced to navigate a world that no longer caters to her. After escaping her parents’ cruel betrayal, she finds herself entangled with Ace Knight—a powerful, emotionally guarded CEO with secrets darker than his tailored suits. Scarlett wants nothing to do with the arrogant billionaire, but when a scandal threatens to destroy Ace’s empire, he offers her a deal she can’t refuse: a contract marriage to fix his image. What starts as a cold arrangement soon simmers with unspoken tension, stolen glances, and haunting memories—especially since Scarlett bears an uncanny resemblance to the woman Ace lost long ago. As their fake relationship blurs into something dangerously real, buried truths rise to the surface—including a betrayal that could shatter Scarlett all over again. Love was never part of the contract... but neither was heartbreak. "What happens when fake love feels dangerously real?"

The Black Cloud Sword: The Rise of Do-Hyun

“Kangho refers to the world of martial artists, akin to the ‘jianghu’ in Chinese wuxia literature.” “The Martial World doesn’t belong to the strong—it belongs to those who endure until the end.” Lee Do-Hyun, an ordinary office worker. Trapped in a monotonous routine, he stumbles upon a mysterious book that changes his life forever. When he opens his eyes, he finds himself in a new world—the Martial World (Kangho)—reborn as the weakest of the weak. With no power to rely on, Do-Hyun is saved by Chun-Hyang at the Pungwolru, a house of pleasure that’s much more than it seems. There, he learns the ways of survival from women who have mastered the art of turning weakness into strength. Quick footwork, exploiting openings, and the psychology of battle—skills not meant for the strong, but for those determined to survive. Then, fate intervenes. Do-Hyun discovers a legendary blade—the Ego’s Sword—a weapon that chooses its own master. The blade whispers, “I will test your will.” With this cursed gift, Do-Hyun rises from obscurity, becoming a beacon of hope for the oppressed. His name spreads through the Martial World, and the once-mocked women of Pungwolru stand proud alongside him. But the Martial World doesn’t change so easily. • Rising prodigies who believe in the supremacy of raw strength • A corrupt leadership within the so-called “just” Beggar’s Sect • And secret powers scheming to revive the legacy of fallen gods… At the heart of these battles, Do-Hyun makes his stand: “I’ll shatter the rules of Kangho. I’ll show them the true meaning of strength.” Will he become the master of the sword—or will the sword master him? The story of a man who became the hope of the weak begins now. #MartialArts #Isekai #Swordmaster #UnderdogRising #ReformingTheMartialWorld
