In Lagos, they called her Felicia. A name they gave her—like a dress that never fit. She wore it anyway. Smiled through the dinners. Laughed at Tiffany's jokes. Danced in clubs to drown the quiet ache. She thought love was loud—hugs, birthdays, "my girl." But love was quiet. Quiet like the way Mrs. Okoro's smile never reached her eyes. Quiet like Tiffany's "bestie" always came with a smirk. Quiet like the night she heard them laugh: "Orphan. Useless. Time to clean up." So she burned it all. Not with fire. With silence. She sold the car. Lied about crashes. Sold the bags. Lied about thieves. Sold the jewelry. Lied about friends. And when the ticket pinged—Seoul, one-way—she didn't look back. Now she's here. Neon. Cold. Free. But freedom has teeth. Because someone knows. And they're already writing her name—on paper, on walls, on her skin. "Welcome home, Ashlyn." She doesn't know if it's a threat. Or a promise. But she knows one thing: Felicia died on that plane. And Ashlyn? She's just waking up.

Elena awakens from a four-year coma into the body of Jang Eunjun, armed with a mysterious system granting stats, skills, and quests. Fueled by an unbreakable dream to become a K-pop idol, she enters the cutthroat survival show, climbing to #1 through flawless vocals, rapid growth, and unrelenting determination. Yet, Tragedy strikes when her mother dies from a sudden heart attack. Crushed by guilt for prioritizing stardom over family, Elena abandons her idol dream entirely, retreating to quietly manage the family music store in anonymity. Fate intervenes once more. A stranger with matching emerald-green eyes appears, revealing himself as her long-lost biological brother, Theodore Vetrov. DNA evidence confirms she is Veronika Vetrov—stolen as an infant during a shadowy family conflict and raised under a false identity. Uprooted to a frigid, opulent Russian noble dynasty, she faces a ruthless grandmother who demands she erase her “commoner” past and master the ways of nobility. But destiny has one final, shattering twist. As she dies in a gun fire, a second transmigration awakens her inside the body of Elena Zhang—a scandal-plagued Chinese pop idol, who was entangled in a passionate, dangerous romance with the cold, powerful businessman Jin Di. Calm, calculating, and ruthlessly intelligent, Elena quietly rebuilds an empire—turning millions into billions through precise, merciless investments, forging deadly alliances, and reclaiming the music stage on her own unforgiving terms. Surrounded by predators and underestimated by everyone, the girl once called Eunjun becomes the most lethal kind of idol: one who no longer chases fame—she seizes absolute control.

Everyone knows J-hope for his laughter. For the way he fills rooms with light, energy, and warmth. But Jimin begins to notice the moments when the smile lingers too long - when joy feels rehearsed, and silence slips in where laughter once lived. Missed calls. Empty pauses. A presence that feels distant even when he's right there. As days pass, Jimin finds himself listening more closely - not to what is said, but to what is avoided. Because some pain doesn't ask to be seen. It hides behind routines, brightness, and the fear of becoming a burden. Beneath the Brightest Smile -- a story of quiet unraveling, emotional restraint, and the unsettling realization than the loudest people often suffer in silence - and that noticing might be the first step toward saving someone who learned how to ask for help.

Two souls, decades apart, bound by a single moment of tragedy. ​In 1999, Sunghoon had it all. A top-tier actor with a silver tongue and an ego to match, he lived for the spotlight,until New Year’s Eve, when a sudden fall from his high-rise balcony ended his reign. But instead of the "dark abyss," Sunghoon wakes up in 2025, trapped in the body of Haru, a 23-year-old struggling to survive in a world he no longer recognizes. ​Forced to navigate a digital age where fame is measured in clicks rather than talent, Sunghoon must rebuild his life from scratch as he is unexpectedly thrust back into the industry he once ruled, he discovers that the secrets of his past didn't stay buried in the nineties. He navigates the new world with the help of his friends and new found family as he relearns what love truly is. ** ​Raiven (Jae-wook), the lead idol of the world-famous group RE-draft. To the fans, he is the "Ice Prince",cold, untouchable, and perfect. Behind the scenes, he is a man drowning in the shadows of depression and a secret addiction, his heart locked away from a world he views as frivolous. ​When a chance encounter binds the displaced actor and the falling star together, their friction sparks something neither expected. As Sunghoon teaches Raiven how to truly live, Raiven might just be the one to save Sunghoon’s "wretched soul." ******* ​"I love you. All of you," Haru whispered, his forehead resting against Raiven’s. His arm remained anchored around Raiven's waist, holding him steady, pulling him close with a gentleness that suggested he was afraid even the slightest force might break the man beneath him. ​Raiven let out a shaky breath, closing his eyes as he surrendered to Haru's warm embrace. ​Haru buried his face in the crook of Raiven’s neck, his breath warm against the skin. ​"If you keep saying things like that, I might just have to pin you down and fuck you again," Raiven murmured, a small, tired smirk tugging at his lips. ​Haru let out a soft, melodic chuckle, his lips grazing Raiven’s pulse point. Raiven’s skin reacted instantly, a shiver racing through him. He held his breath, his grip on Haru tightening as he fought to savor every ounce of proximity and warmth. ​He held on as if Haru were a ghost that might dissipate at any moment. He was terrified that if he let go, this would all prove to be an illusion,that he would be left in the cold again. That Haru wouldn't be his anymore. ​He wasn't ready to give up the sight of Haru’s beauty, or the way Haru whimpered and moaned his name as he worshipped his body. He had grown to adore Haru's quirks,the old-fashioned phrases that slipped from his tongue, the way his eyes danced with a century's worth of glee and curiosity. ​But most of all, Raiven was afraid that if Haru looked just a little bit closer, he would see the truth: exactly how much he had come to mean to him. ****

Llana never believed in reincarnation, transmigration, or anything related to fiction. To her, those ideas were nothing but desperate fantasies.

Now he is just a man who hasn’t painted anything worth keeping in four months, staring at blank canvases in a city that expects too much from him.

He isn’t expecting to find anything there. Then he sees Riwoo. Jeon Riwoo — known to every soul in Naeun-ri as Daun, (the beautiful one) carries his quiet grief and his open heart through the village like it costs him nothing. He doesn’t know what to make of the silent city man who keeps returning to his grandmother’s stall. Slowly he started becoming the shape of everything Yikyung had lost. What begins as inspiration becomes something neither of them has a name for yet. But names have a way of finding you.
