In the quiet magic-soaked valley of Stardew, secrets grow deeper than roots and darker than the mines. When Hannah inherits her grandfather's farm, she expects soil, sweat, and maybe some solitude-but instead, she stumbles into ancient scrolls, mysterious creatures, and a wizard with ties to a dangerous past. As the townspeople's carefully buried secrets begin to unearth themselves-like Abigail discovering her real father isn't who she thought, or Sebastian catching feelings he swears he doesn't have-Hannah finds herself at the center of a mystery much bigger than crops and chickens. Caught between Sebastian, the guarded misfit who sees the world in poetry and shadows, and Alex, the town's golden boy hiding a soft heart behind his smirk, Hannah must navigate the tangled lines of friendship, loyalty, and longing. With a witch threatening to rise, a talisman to retrieve, and a found family forming around her whether she likes it or not, Hannah must decide how far she's willing to go to protect the valley-and the people she's grown to care for Drama, comedy, heartache, this story will keep you anticipating what is next, just like our favorite RPG game, Stardew Valley.

New York, 1995. Laura Maraschino thought marrying Tommy-the former President's son-was a fairy tale come true. But six months after their high-profile split, the magic is long gone. Now a journalist entangled in a secret affair with her boss, Laura's carefully rebuilt life is upended when Tommy's father dies in a sudden car crash.
Thrust back into the spotlight, Laura is pressured by Tommy's mother to play the part of the devoted wife one last time-for the cameras, the legacy, the nation. In return, she promises a clean divorce when the dust settles. But as Laura and Tommy navigate grief, public scrutiny, and buried emotions, they begin to question if their story is really over-or if something worth saving still lingers beneath the wreckage.
Look, I was just a regular marketing whiz trying to make rent, until I humiliated myself in front of him.
Roman Valentus. Billionaire CEO, pure perfection, and unfortunately, my new boss.
Brooding? Check. Intimidating? Oh, absolutely. Likely to fire me on the spot? Let’s just say the odds weren’t in my favor.
But instead of getting my walking papers, I end up working closely with him on the biggest marketing campaign of my career. We clash. We argue. But somehow, between the late nights and lingering stares, he falls. We fall—fucking hard.
But love isn’t just stolen glances and ear biting. Our pasts are waiting to ruin everything. And with a man like Roman? Falling might be easy… but surviving it? That’s another story.
Just when I start thinking this might be more than just workplace crush, the past comes knocking—his, mine, and the kind that doesn’t take no for an answer. Because love is fun and all, but apparently, so is self-destruction.
So, the real question is: can I survive loving a man like Roman Valentus… and can he survive loving me back?
"You don't need to pretend, Zoya!" Logan shouted over the radio noise.
Zoya's heart ached as she tucked in her lips, wishing she could turn back time to when she was a teenager. She was baffled by how the only man she had ever loved could cause her such heartbreak, one that couldn't be diagnosed under an X-ray machine.
In the past ten years, Zoya had invested her time and emotions into the marriage, neglecting her own needs and desires.
Her parents had never supported her relationship with Logan, advising her to focus on her studies when she was just 16. But she had threatened to run away, using her status as an only child to force them to accept her early marriage.
After graduating high school, Logan convinced her to become a full-time housewife. Initially, the marriage was perfect, with Logan taking her on dates, shopping sprees, and vacations. He swept her off her feet, and she abandoned her plans for further education.
However, as Logan became a successful business tycoon, their time together became limited. Whenever she complained about his late nights, he would wrap his arms around her and give her a gentle squeeze, silencing her protests.
Now, Zoya felt a tiny bump in her stomach, followed by a sour pain, but she remained silent. "I can go on a three-month trip," she bargained, her voice discreet but frail.
Logan's response was a dirty smirk, and he leaned forward, staring deeply into her eyes. "My sweet pretensions, Zoya, I don't need you to think for me or go on a vacation."
Zoya felt rejection crawling into her shattered heart, wondering if their love boat had crashed long ago. She remembered her father's fury ten years ago, her mother's attempts to pacify him, and how her father had blocked all communications with her after the wedding.
"Can't you give us a try?" she asked, her voice sounding like a plea.
Logan's lips moved closer to her ears, his words barely audible. "Taste changes, people move on." He shrugged expressively, and Zoya saw his mouth move but couldn't hear properly due to her own emotional deafness.
She crawled on the floor, begging him not to end their marriage, desperate to save it. Logan stepped on her hands, grinding on them in circles, and Zoya swallowed the pain.
He stumbled back, spat on her injured hand, and threw divorce papers on her lap. "It's over, Zoya. Keep the house; I don't want to be stuck in the disgusting memories you've forced on me over the years. Sign that, and I'll have someone collect it in the morning."
With that, Logan turned and walked out of the house, leaving Zoya shattered and alone.
