Showbite's revenge-themed projects include "The Fallen Heiress Returns Wicked," "They Messed with the Wrong Daughter-in-Law," and "Contract Marriage: The Heir's Hound." The label will also release the action crime-thriller "Asura: Return of the Reaper."
The lineup also includes historical and fantasy stories.
