When Jiang Yanyi, heiress to a traditional hotpot family, opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated into an ancient romance novel as the villainous supporting character. After framing the female lead, she was exiled to a border military camp, where she was treated as mere entertainment for the soldiers. Touching the scar on her forehead left by the original character's attempt to escape, Jiang Yanyi quietly picked up a cooking ladle. As a minor character, she figured she had no need to follow the main plot. The soldiers in the Western Zhou military camp all said that the new cook's skills were unparalleled. The noodles she made could be eaten dry or, with a bit of hot water, became a delicious bowl of soup-essential for soldiers on the move! Jiang Yanyi: "No, this is just instant noodles." The tea she brewed had bubbles rising from it, a slightly sweet aftertaste, and even a hint of strong alcohol. Jiang Yanyi: "No, this is cola!" The hotpot she prepared had a red broth with ingredients from the land, sea, and sky that could be thrown in to cook-its taste was divine! Jiang Yanyi: "... This is really just a common hotpot from the modern world." The fiancé who once broke off their engagement wanted to rekindle their relationship, but the famously ruthless King of Liaonan, Feng Shuo, threw his spear and declared, "Back off, this is my wife!"

On almost everyone. Just not on the two men standing in front of me. Unfortunately, I was related to both of them.

Aishwarya didn't go to SALT looking for a story. She went looking for a good meal, found a mediocre one, and wrote exactly what she thought. Siddharth didn't reply to start something. He replied because silence felt worse. Neither of them expected the argument to keep going. Neither of them expected it to turn into something else entirely - something warmer and more complicated and completely unplanned. That's the thing about honesty. It takes you places you didn't book.

"You know it's better off this way." "No. I don't care what you are. I want you, and no one else." "Please, Graham. We cannot be together anymore. Don't make this more difficult than it has to be." "You are making it difficult. I've told you time and time again that I don't care about the dangers of being with you." "That's because you still don't understand what I'm capable of", the red-haired man says with gritted teeth, his patience running out fast. "You haven't hurt me yet, and I don't think you can." Aiden scoffs. "I shouldn't have come here." "But you are here, and we can try to make this work." The vampire can feel how he starts losing track of the heartbeat that kept him at ease.

Jayne x Justine For Personal Consumption Jobsky x Claude x Gemini ​Sinasabi nilang sapat na ang dalawampu't isang araw para makabuo-o makasira-ng isang ugali. Isang siklo ng buwan. Tatlong linggo. ​Para kina Jayne at Justine, ang dalawampu't isang araw na iyon ang naging pinakamasaya, ngunit pinakamasalimuot na yugto ng kanilang mga buhay. Ito ang tatlong linggo ng mga nakaw na tingin sa pagitan ng Manila at Pasay, ng mga pangarap na binuo sa likod ng mga unibersidad, at ng isang pangakong natapos bago pa man ito tuluyang magsimula. Isang tawag sa telepono sa ika-dalawampu't isang gabi ang bumasag sa lahat. ​Anim na taon. ​Anim na taon ang lumipas na puno ng katahimikan, mga multo ng nakaraan, at mga pader na itinayo para sa sariling proteksyon. Anim na taon ng pagsisisi para sa isa, at anim na taon ng panghihinayang at trauma para sa isa pa. ​Ngunit ang nakaraan ay may kakaibang paraan ng pagbabalik. Tulad ng isang alingawngaw-isang echo-na pabalik-balik na dumarating hangga't hindi natatapos ang sigaw, muli silang pinagtagpo ng tadhana. Hindi na bilang mga estudyanteng natatakot sa bukas, kundi bilang isang Sous Chef na bitbit ang bigat ng kaniyang mga maling desisyon, at isang Management Engineer na natutunan nang mamuhay sa likod ng kaniyang mga binuong pader. ​Magsisimula ang kwento sa ingay ng isang pamilyar na café, kung saan ang unang patak ng ulan ay hudyat ng pagsisimula ng isang mahaba, masakit, ngunit healing na slow burn. ​Dahil kung minsan, ang pag-ibig na sinira ng tatlong linggo, ay nangangailangan ng anim na taon para muling mabuo.

Sofia Bianchi has spent her entire life in front of cameras-perfect, untouchable, and endlessly watched. Modeling since the age of ten, she's built a career people dream of, but behind the flashing lights and curated perfection, she's exhausted. Burnt out. Invisible in all the ways that matter. So she disappears. No headlines. No announcements. Just a quiet escape to a small coastal town where no one knows her name, no one asks questions, and for the first time in her life... she can breathe. Luca Romano didn't plan the life he has-but he built it anyway. After being left with a newborn daughter, he traded the chaos of Rome for a quiet town and a small restaurant by the sea. Now, his world begins and ends with his five-year-old daughter, Chiara, and the life he's fought to create. It's simple. Safe. Unshakable. Until her. Sofia is different from anyone Luca has ever known-out of place, guarded, and carrying something he can't quite understand. And Luca is everything Sofia didn't know she needed-steady, warm, and real in a way her world has never been. What starts as quiet conversations and shared glances slowly turns into something deeper. Something neither of them planned. Something neither of them is ready to lose. But Sofia's life isn't something she can just walk away from. And Luca isn't someone who can risk being left behind again. Because some people are only meant to pass through your life... ...and some feel like home. Salt Air is a slow-burn, emotional romance about finding yourself, and learning that sometimes, the life you need is the one you never planned for.
