The girl they threw away
Updated at Jul 29, 2026, 15:41
She gave up her name, her company, and the only family she'd ever known — in one single night. Liu Hoon spent twenty-six years believing she belonged. Then a DNA test proved she didn't, her mother's love turned to ice overnight, and the man she'd loved since she was nineteen chose her replacement — the "real" daughter — instead. Disgraced, framed for a scandal she didn't create, and cut off from the family company her grandfather built, Liu boards a plane with nothing but a promise to keep to the one brother who never stopped believing in her. She never makes it off that plane. But someone wanted her gone before she could ever land — and the people who destroyed her life are about to find out that dead girls don't stay buried, and secrets twenty years old don't stay hidden forever. Betrayal made her disappear. Revenge will make her impossible to ignore.

Blue print for ruin
Updated at Jul 29, 2026, 05:53
Elena Vasquez built her career out of the wreckage of a stolen idea. Six years ago, Damian Cole took the design that should have made her name and used it to make his own — and she has hated him, quietly and completely, ever since. Now the city of Chicago has handed them no choice. The biggest redevelopment contract of the decade — six blocks of riverfront, a career-defining commission — will go to a single joint venture between their two rival firms, or to neither of them at all. Forced into the same office, the same drawings, the same late nights, Elena and Damian are supposed to be building a district. Instead they're building something far more dangerous: a truce that keeps threatening to become a confession, and a confession that keeps threatening to become something neither of them can take back. When a saboteur inside the project starts leaking their designs to a rival developer, old betrayals and new desire collide — and Elena has to decide whether the man who ruined her six years ago is the same man standing in front of her now, or whether she's about to let him ruin her all over again.

The face behind the mask
Updated at Jul 29, 2026, 05:34
BLURB Yoo Ha-eun is the most famous face no one has ever seen. As MUSE, the masked lead singer of WE — the nation's top five-member band — she's spent a decade hidden behind white lacquer, her real face a mystery even to the four women she calls sisters. She's tired. She's ready to walk away. She tells exactly one person: her manager. That's her first mistake. Her trainee has spent a year learning her — the laugh, the walk, the pause before she answers a question she hates — being quietly groomed to disappear into Ha-eun's life the moment she's gone. When Ha-eun finds out, she isn't allowed to simply leave. She's chased through her own company, out into traffic, and left broken in the street. She wakes up two years later. Two years she doesn't remember living. And the man who saved her — who has kept her hidden in his home ever since — is Kang Si-woo, the one man she ever humiliated in public, and the one man who never forgave her for it. While she was gone, her trainee didn't just take her name. She had her face rebuilt, surgery by surgery, until even Ha-eun's own parents couldn't tell the difference. The only people left who might sense something is wrong are the four bandmates who never saw the real Ha-eun's face either — and are starting to notice that the woman standing where she used to stand doesn't laugh right, doesn't move right, isn't right. To take her life back, Ha-eun will have to trust the man she wronged, outmaneuver the girl who stole her, and prove to her own band that the stranger among them isn't her — before the truth gets buried for good.
