Note from Authors:
Hi, Mr and Mrs Mooncat here. Our work is quite different with distinct local flavors as it is based on our ancestral home in a small Asian country, Malaysia (although currently, we're residing on the moon). Hence, expect a lot of footnotes, local food, places, and slangs within ;) It's a fun way to get to know Malaysia from the eyes of the locals. Besides that, we also employ simple easy-to-understand English sentences to accommodate a vast spectrum of readers with very minor elements of romance. It is very friendly to both men and women, young and old without any harsh elements (yet). We love writing and illustrating ASTHW; it has already become our prized golden child (apart from our two toddlers at home haha). Recently, we have started writing ASTHW side stories besides the usual auxiliary articles for ASTHW. Interested readers could only access them either by subscribing with us on Patreon, or sponsoring a chapter through Ko-fi. Please check our respective sites for more details.

SYNOPSIS:... more>>

After a painful separation from her boyfriend, Bing Shi gets an opportunity to meet him again. Under one condition. To get her wish granted, she will have to travel to different worlds and finish all the assigned missions from the System HeadQuarters.

In each of these universes, she's thrust into the company of the creme de la creme of men - alpha males who could stir butterflies in even the most self-assured and independent women.

Will she be able to keep her cool around these magnetic hunks, or will her resolve crumble like a stale cookie?

Amidst the chaos, Bing Shi stands firm: "I want only one thing – my boyfriend."

In a cosmos filled with temptation, will her loyalty and love for her boyfriend emerge victorious?

(Author's Note): Don't be fooled by the term "quick transmigration." Each arc is a full-length romance novel in its own right, complete with side characters that are capable of development. ♡(>ᴗ•)

Livia Katrina Valentine regains her memories of her past life just as she triggers her own death flag. Rather than a token of strength, her memories haunt her in their steep clarity. <<less

On her last life, she was the devil. If not for her waywardness the people she cared about would not suffer. If not for her pride she could have lived a good life. After rebirth Sena vowed not to let herself fall into the trap again. ... more>>

Wait, who said you must abuse enemies as soon as you made a come back?

She was born with a golden spoon, educated by an intelligent mother and loved by many. Better use it wonderfully this time.

Drugged and slept with a stranger?

Well, not Sena.

Evil best friend? She doesn't have one.

Although she doesn't have them, the people she loved does!

As a capable side character, this time it will be her turn to protect them. As for those who harmed them... hehe, a few occasional slaps is enough. Everything seems to be on track so how could she mess up?

She was about to fulfill her wish of a good life when a certain person popped up then suddenly the 'sleeping with the stranger' thing was dredged up.

Hey, that was done in a completely mutual agreement. No hard feelings.

Him: What if I wanted to pursue?

Sena: Fart, we've gone over this--- you, d-don't come close. We've talked about this. We've clean the slate!

Him: Did you hear me agree?

Sena: ( ･ᴗ･̥̥̥ )

=======================================
This novel is made purely for enjoinment (there will be plenty of loopholes and expect plenty of cliché) so please don't take it personally. Male lead is a healthy adult man, don't expect him to be as indifferent and pure as a monk because that's impossible given his background setting. Names of countries are deliberately changed and character names are chosen in random. Author's English is average but we will try to deliver a smooth narrative to lessen your headache. :)

Author is lazy...

Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future.

Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay?

The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination.

Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim! <<less

When Luna predicted a bad end for her family, she did all she could to change their fate, only to lose her life in one of her attempts.
Without knowing if she has successfully prevented her family's downfall, a deep voice that she thought belonged to God suddenly asked her, "Do you want to live?"
Luna struggled to answer.... more>>

Through her several lifetimes across several worlds...
Will she find her will to live again?
Will she find love along the way?

Aurora was just your average totally-not-super-dense-closet-lesbian high school girl who loved to hang out with her friends. Especially with her childhood friend, and cuddle-buddy extraordinaire, Corelia. However, one night after a long study session her life changed forever.... more>>

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn’t resist her body’s drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn’t a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn’t be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked. ... more>>

An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as “Arlea”, and not “Ann”.
And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of “Arlea”—a villainess in the fantasy/romance otome game she had played in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she—Arlea—was fated to die.

‘In such a situation, what should I do?’
‘Let’s think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?’
‘But hold on, what if I can’t change the scenario? Why bother?’

Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live well, and to cross out some of her bucket list that she could still do!

'If I can avoid my death, it's good. If not, at least I've enjoyed my additional time here in this fantasy world where magic and monsters exist, where I don't need to slave away my life ridiculously for the corporate!'

Little did she know that her decision would cause everyone who knew Arlea to be very surprised and alarmed with her change.
What happened to the villainous, hateful woman called Arlea? Why did she become like this? What is she scheming now??
Let's see how long she can keep up her pretense!

Can she avoid her death flag, or will she be able to survive more than the designed 365 days?

Riley, a human orphan with a rough background, is suddenly adopted by a family of skunk anthros much to her surprise.

I was Lady Valentina Avington, the beautiful, wicked, and narcissistic villainess of a novel. When I recalled memories of my past life, I decided I wanted everything the heroine had. ... more>>

Using my knowledge of the future, I became a fake saint, the successor to my house, the future queen, and won over the male leads. When the novel began, all I had to do was dispose of the female lead.

Yet nothing was as it seemed, and before I knew it, my perfect facade fell to pieces.

“You’re not who I thought you were.”

“I despise you, Sister.”

“It’s revolting to even look at you.”

Call it ambition or greed, I would get what I wanted, by any means necessary. No matter the cost, I would definitely win.

No need to like me, I have no excuses. Will you be cheering for my downfall, like the rest of them?

Be The Father Of This Child!
Jett Huntsman has his business straight, which is to scare schmucks into paying back what’s due. And yeah, he’s... more>> making shit tons of money while at it. Mostly because he’s good at it. Not that he brags.
What he’s not good at, though, is how to deal with seeing a crying baby left in front of his house with the self-explanatory message: “Assume responsibility, asshole!”
Jett has no time to think things through. He has schmucks to shake for money. So his kid, if that’s his kid, will have to come with him.
The guy he’s supposed to scare enough to pay his debts is a total dweeb with a weird hippy name. This April Summer dude should know better than to piss off the wrong people. While he babbles about not having the money, he says the magic word - babies!
Does this dweeb really know the first thing about kids? Jett doesn’t have time to think. April the Fool will take care of that crying baby if he knows what’s good for him. Especially since April seems weirdly familiar.
(Disclaimer: No babies were made to cry during the writing of this story. Also, this is not intended as a parenting guide. Seriously.) <<less

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world.... more>>

Magic, mad science, multicultural ambience, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M.

Intended for mature audiences, 18+.

~~~*~~~

All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people.

Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use.

Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last?

She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her – especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family?

Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister – and the rekindling of an old flame.

Content/ Mature warnings are on for:

Gore: Nothing terribly extreme. Some bleeding wounds and broken bits, but all limbs remain attached and all innards remain inward.

Sexual Content: It's not all smut all the time, but there is some. I aim for not vague but also not overly lewd. Smut chapters are labeled NSFW. Chapters with very brief smut or just some torrid making out or somesuch are labeled NSFW-ish. All on-screen depictions are consensual, but there are a few passing references to noncon having happened off-screen (not to any MCs).

Strong Language: One character really loves to swear, and could probably construct an entire monologue with just various inflections of the F word. So, yeah, that's on too.

Other CWs: Dark themes (abuse, trauma, ptsd, depression, unhealthy coping mechanisms). Mostly in discussions of past events, but there are a few scenes that may be troubling to some readers. <<less

Sera, was just an timid, ordinary uni student. After losing her life to a runaway truck, she'd found herself summoned to a savage world, where traces of magic have left its mark, and military power is king. There, she was a Queen, bound by contract to save the war-ravaged nation of Thornmere.

This is the story after the victory, after she was returned to her original world. What happened to the young Prince she'd fallen in love with and their child she'd left behind?

5 years after her departure, she'll find out how greatly the Prince- now a brutal warrior feared as the Red King, and his fiercely burning, obsessive love for her, still burned.

-----

"You can't leave me again!" He roars, eyes flashing.

For a moment, Sera feels like she sees the old Lucien. Only for one moment, he looks like he's crying. But she doubts herself. Strong, kingly Lucien would never cry.

That's the last thought in her mind, and even that slips away. His lips clash against hers furiously. Over and over, he presses his dry lips against hers, against her softness. Sera barely has any moment to gasp for air as he continues to ravage her mouth. She moans as his hot tongue forces itself past her lips. His emotions flood over her, his body showing her how desperately it was raging to possess her.

Be forewarned. There is smut. <<less
