Summary
#The Gilt Trip Trilogy
Book 1: Crimes, Confessions, and a Hostage in my BasementSynopsis
You've heard this story before. Some poor, soft-eyed civilian gets kidnapped by an unhinged mafia boss with trust issues and a six-pack. Yawn.
But what happens when the civilian does the kidnapping instead?
Hong Joshua is twenty-seven, painfully average, and a legal advisor who's barely qualified to negotiate his phone bill-let alone a hostage situation. And yet, somehow, he ends up with Lee Seokmin-the CEO of Corvex Group, the underworld's worst-kept secret and walking human crime syndicate-tied to a rusty chair in his basement.
Joshua isn't quite sure how he got here. One minute, he's having a very delicious sandwich at a restaurant. The next, there's a bound and gagged mafia boss in his basement, tied to a chair that's older than his career. Oops.
Now comes the real problem: what the hell do you do with a mafia kingpin in your basement? Feed him snacks? Call the cops? Negotiate like you actually have leverage? Try not to get murdered?
Welcome to the world's worst kidnapping-no ransom, no escape plan, and absolutely no clue what happens next.

Summary
Renjun is a 17-year-old omega who lives with his mother in Jilin. Not particularly shy but rather reserved and slightly clumsy, he believes his only goal in life is to lead a mediocre career like any other citizen.
However, everything changes when a long-estranged side of his family decides to acknowledge his existence and drags him into the chaos of the royal court of a country he has never even set foot in.
On top of the family drama, he will also have to deal with a completely new environment. Thrown into a school full of people far more prepared than he is, he finds himself face-to-face with a pair of alphas who, despite his intentions, end up getting closer to him than he had planned.
Between etiquette, court intrigues and charming nobles, Renjun must decide whether to embrace this new world or not.

Summary
Beneath the neon glow of Las Vegas, where engines roar and asphalt burns, Seokmin—a gifted mechanic—finds himself drawn into a world of high-stakes street racing, unexpected alliances, and a past he can’t quite outrun. What starts as a routine repair in his garage spirals into something much bigger, where every choice carries the weight of ambition, loyalty, and unspoken desires. With the help of his childhood friends, Soon-young and Wonwoo, Seokmin finds his patience and heart sacrificed for the ones he loves.
As rivalries ignite and old ghosts resurface, Seokmin must decide which roads are worth taking and which are best left behind.
Meanwhile, Seokmin finds love in Joshua, a shy and calm young heir to a hotel. While Seokmin has his worries, Joshua is not thrilled to have his eccentric, extravagant twin Jeognhan, back in town. Joshua is mostly worried about his twin meeting his serious and kind friend, Seungcheol.
Fast cars, buried secrets, and the thrill of the unknown—this is a story about the roads we chase and the echoes they leave behind.
Note: the chapters are separated hy characters names, so you may be free to choose to just read certain chapters if you wish.

Summary
Jeonghan and Seungcheol have hated each other for years, and destiny always have brought them together only for them to bicker.
But then a wedding forces them to make a temporary alliance that makes them question the past and be afraid of feelings they didnt know they had.
As each playful jab brings them closer and every shared moment blurs the line between love and hate, they’ll discover that sometimes the person who knows how to push all your buttons is the one who understands you best.
This is NOT a CONTINUATION!
This is what the original story for Perfect Lies was supposed to be until I changed it into the emotional wreckage of a story we have now today.
NO: you do NOT have to have read Part I to understand this story.
NO: this is not tied to any other story.Enjoy!

Summary
Jisung always stands out despite wanting nothing more to hide in the shadows. Besides his gangly limbs and hands that rival the size of a plate, he unfortunately has more unconventional features on his body.
His ears, too pointed, his eyes too dark.
His blood, shining black instead of red.
He always seems to stand out, no matter where he may be, and always seems to attract unwanted attention.
