Kasi Williams, a young black woman from Detroit, has always found solace in the quiet strength of her independence. After the tragic loss of her parents in a devastating car accident when she was just a child, she and her older brother Jason clung to each other, building a life from the fragments of their shattered world. But when Jason is killed in a police shooting ruled an "accident," Kasi's heart is left in ruins. Seeking escape from the pain, she leaves everything behind and retreats to a serene, distant village in China, where the rolling hills and tranquil rivers offer a fragile promise of peace.

There, she meets Tang Wei Long (唐伟龙), a man whose name echoes wealth and prosperity, but whose life is shrouded in the cold isolation of his family's industrial empire. The Tangs, owners of a vast network of electronics factories in the bustling industrial hub of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, are known for their power and influence. Yet, Wei Long is drawn to Kasi not for her knowledge of his wealth, but for her authenticity-a rare gem in a world of superficial admiration.

When Wei Long first hears Kasi singing to a group of children, her voice carried a haunting beauty that stirs something deep within him. But as he tries to break through the walls she has built around her heart, he realizes that love may be the one thing his fortune cannot buy.

Will Wei Long's relentless pursuit of Kasi's heart be enough to mend the fractures of her past? Or will the weight of their differences keep them forever apart? Dive into this emotionally charged journey and discover if love can bloom where the world least expects it.

Here's the collection of the soundtracks from my book series "Stronger Together" that you can find on my profile. All the lyrics are written by me, while music is created by Suno AI.

Since I found such a good AI app as Suno, I've been obsessed with a wish to start writing my own songs again. I wrote something several years ago, but those works were super terrible, and I wish they never exisited. But now I've come back to this, and I'm now trying to do my best to give you the best experience. I'm not sure if I follow the rules of writing songs, but I'm doing my best to make them better. Writing songs in English is a real challenge to me. So, I ask you not to judge me too hard, and I will be really happy if you check this work out, like it, add it to your reading list, and leave a sweet comment.

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?

Eighteen-year-old Selena King is ready for her high school graduation. Cap and gown? Check. Diploma? Check. Mythical chimera setting the stage aflame? Check-wait, what?

Selena is introduced to Major, a Marked demigod who possesses the power of his patron god, dedicated to protecting Olympus, with an annoying god complex(no pun intended). Selena is pulled into Major's world when her parents disappear and another not-so-mythical monster hunts her down.  But why would monsters be interested in ordinary mortals like the King family?

Selena must uncover the dangerous secrets hidden within her family's lineage, secrets that may pose a greater threat than any enemy they face.

Devon

After Devon’s only supporter his dad died he spiraled into thoughts of negative self worth. When Devon meets Leo his entire world flips. Devon had convinced himself that it’s only safe to never care, but what about the way Leo made him feel? Will his new friend Leo be able to convince him that he deserves to be loved?

Leo

Leo’s life is perfect his mom accepts the fact that he’s gay and she doesn’t care at all, his brother doesn’t give two shits about it and is cool with it, and with his homophobic and alcoholic dad out of the picture he has nothing to worry about. When he meets Devon something in him changed. Can he convince Devon to trust him?

Cole

After his parents died in a car crash when he was two he was raised by his aunt. He became Devon’s best friend in eighth grade. In their freshman year Devon came out to him and David overheard and told everyone. What will he do if Devon finds out his biggest secret?

David

David’s dad just wants a reason to kick David out of the house. So as David faces getting kicked out of his house because of a secret he keeps he changes himself slightly. He becomes the school’s quarterback, he gets good grades except for math, and he dates the prettiest girls at school. So as the top jock he has to at least try and look homophobic. The only thing he can think of, pick on the first person who’s openly gay, that he can find anyway. When he overheard Devon telling Cole he had his victim. That would keep his dad proud and David in the house. David only cared about snowmobiling, getting into a good college, and getting a good job. At least he thought that was all he cared about.

Please keep in mind that this book is an LGBTQIA+ romance not made for homophobic or LGBT-phobic people. This book will have themes of death, sorrow, cussing, BL, and homophobia.

Philomela Berkshire, the young Duchess of Beaufort, has spent her life following the rigid expectations of nobility. But when a high-ranking official tasks her with capturing South Korea’s most elusive crime lord, she is thrust into a world far different from the ballrooms of Beaufort

In the world of Veltara, two continents dominate the land, one that worships the goddess Seraphina and the other that worships the deity Vakros. Millennia ago, each deity blessed a hero from their respective nation, using them to lead their nation into a war against the other. However, this merely led to a stalemate, and a long period of a tense peace followed. In the present day, the descendants of the hero that worshiped Seraphina have turned from their intended purpose: believing themselves to be as gods and rulers. Despite hating the direction the family had gone down, the goddess is unable to remove her blessing, as it was permanent.

Enter Drystan, a young rogue on the run from the knights of the kingdom. After an encounter with the goddess, he is given the same blessing as the hero of old and his descendants, but with a directive: to end the reign of the family, either through peaceful means up to lethal force if necessary and take their place.

Ember is a fifteen year old who recently came out as nonbinary, their family disowned them for it. Right after Ember’s announcement, queen Saranya died, the patriarchy crashed into tyranny and chaos. Her husband Mrithun became the sole leader and made everyone pledge allegiance to him and those who didn’t were named traitors. He moved everyone who pledged their allegiance in to Golool. Which Ember has nicknamed Broury, the broken city. When Ember stumbles upon a boy that’s near death they stops and takes care of him, the boy is about their age maybe a year older than them. But, she might have just sealed her death warrant, they have no idea who they just saved and it might kill her because someone wanted him dead and now they’ve intervened and messed up ,whoever did it, their plan. But most importantly they don’t know the thing that might save them is buried deep inside them.

Quick note: When I refere to Ember I will use they/them. Ember did not try to kill the boy.

So this fanfic only takes the original trilogy as canon. My take on what happened to inspire the song The Hanging Tree.
