[Mature Content R18+] [Slow-Burn Dark Romance] Two days before my wedding, my fiancé told me he would marry my twin sister, because it was her dying wish. My family, his family, everyone dear to me, turned me into a villain for being defiant. The decision was final. The bride had changed. They forced me into a golden cage, waiting for my turn to be another substitute. Then he came. The man who should have been my enemy offered his hand. Led us into one wild night. "Be my wife. Six years. Let's have a contract for exactly that long." "You lost your mind. You promised-" "And I'll give you five years. You can be free. Do whatever you want with the Kingston name. I promised that." "Wh... what?" "But you must promise me, you will be back, and let's live like we burn for each other in that last year." "Rafael... what are you planning to?" "Get things back to their right place." I was tired of being anyone's pawn. So, I play my own game. Five years later, I am back. Revenge is an understatement. The price for my suffering is due. My children keep asking for their father. They'll meet him soon, but there's a problem:  I’m not sure who the real father is. "Viona... I never stop loving you. Tell me they are my flesh, right? I want you back. I want us back." My ex-fiancé shamelessly pleaded before me. "They are mine. The four of them are mine." And there he was, my contracted husband declared with a glare that was ready to burn the whole society down. This should be a simple game of power. But love always meddles between the players. ====== Author's Note: This Novel is a character-driven plot with slow-burn smut. Every character has their own motivation and is layered.

I wonder if I got the chance. Villain CEO: If you don’t want your head, then go ahead. [READER Warning:] The MC is the bottom. Don't criticize me if you don't like it. I have a sensitive heart.

Richard Maddox, a once-promising football prodigy, dreamed of becoming a star. But just as his dream was within reach, it was abruptly shattered when he banged his head on the goalpost, fracturing his skull. Forced into early retirement, Richard vanished from the public eye. People thought Richard Maddox was done for. However, no one expected that during his unconscious state, his spirit detached from his body. He drifted through time, witnessing the world of football from the perspective of a ghost. It was strange, unpleasant, yet exciting. No need for tickets or travel—he could simply fly. England, Italy, Spain, Germany—the best football countries in Europe—and even the passionate South America, the energetic Africa, and the growing Asia—Richard observed the rise and fall of football giants, all from the sidelines. However, watching football from the other side was quite different from experiencing it live. He missed the cheering, singing, and chanting with the other fans. No one could hear him now. No one could watch football with him. He was... alone. Just as Richard was about to be bored to death, his soul was sucked back, and he realized that only an entire year had passed. 'Interesting,' he thought, laughing. “I could bet, invest in companies that will succeed in the future, and get rich. Bitcoin, I'm coming, baby.” but who could have guessed that Richard would dive so deep into the world of football—From owning a single share to testing the waters as a scout, trying his hand as an agent, and eventually stepping into the world of coaching, before finally diving into the realm of football club ownership. It has truly been a full spectrum of football, the highs and the lows. Join us as we welcome Richard Maddox!

While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.

Julia Hale is a beastwoman of unsettling beauty, an emergency room nurse in a large, unforgiving city, and the mother of young twins still too innocent to grasp the cost of silence. Behind her clinical composure and carefully ordered routine, Julia carries the scars of years of domestic violence, relentless humiliation, and a past that has never truly loosened its grip. Separated from Theo Desmond, her charismatic and predatory ex-husband, Julia struggles to build a stable life. She works. She raises her children. She manages her body, her desire, her exhaustion. On the surface, she is moving forward. In reality, she is still surviving. Her trauma does not erupt in screams but in interrupted gestures, intrusive memories, conflicted desire. She is in love with a woman—Stella Vance—a one-sided, silent love never spoken aloud. This attachment becomes a mirror, reflecting both what Julia longs for and what she still cannot claim. Under the Skin of a Beastwoman is neither a revenge story nor a tale of miraculous healing. It is a fragmented, intimate chronicle of a woman learning—slowly, imperfectly—to detach herself from a life built on fear, while trying to offer her children a future she was never given. An R18 urban narrative, visceral and deeply personal, where the body, desire, and memory become battlegrounds for survival and reclamation.

Please note: The synopsis is inadequate, so please read the main text! Jiang Luoxue, a special agent from the 23rd century, was stunningly beautiful with impeccable marksmanship and outstanding medical and poison skills. While returning from a mission, she encountered a plane crash and transmigrated into the neglected legitimate daughter of a Minister's household in the Yunqi Dynasty. Upon arrival, she was drugged with a potent aphrodisiac and pursued by bandits. After a desperate fight to eliminate them, she fell off a cliff, believing she was going to die. Fortunately, she had a fortuitous encounter at the bottom of the cliff. Heh! Since she didn't die, it was time for others to face misfortune. She cursed her heartless father, beat her hypocritically kind and venomous stepmother, spanked the stepsister who stole her fiancé, emptied the family’s storerooms, and then ruined their reputations, ensuring they got a lifetime tour of prison. Ye Xuanchen, the Great General of the Yunqi Dynasty, was exceedingly handsome and skilled in martial arts. While fighting the enemy, he was ambushed and poisoned with the Fiery Charm Toxin. Every mid-month, his meridians would become turbulent, causing him intense pain. As someone who avoided women, he had to soak in the Ice Pool to alleviate his suffering. On this day, at the height of his internal struggle, facing a woman who fell from the sky, he mistook her for a spy sent by the enemy nation. The moment Jiang Luoxue saw the naked man in the water:

Life isn't suppose to be that hard... Quite straightforward, actually. After all, Karen had just one mission. Get close enough to Drogo Vetter and extract valuable information from him — How he ended up between her legs is irrelevant. But that's not a major problem, it doesn't still affect the main mission. It's just one of those things people do to pass time and feel pleasure... What's the worse that could happen? ... Aside from Drogo being assigned as her next target. Shit.

After Chen Kai was reborn, the system was bound. The first thing to do after rebirth is to trick your female brother Qin Xiaoyu into being his wife! "Little fish, let's discuss something." "Okay! Just don't borrow money." "Be my wife." "I treat you as a brother, and you want me to be your wife?" "Don't get me wrong, I just hope to use my wife's relationship to maintain our brotherhood!" Qin Xiaoyu nodded innocently, "It seems to make sense, but why do I feel that something is wrong?"

FATED TO HIS DARKNESS "Are you trying to gain my attention?" he asked, a note of cynicism and gave her his devilish smile. ______________________________________________ "You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how... In a world where vampires and witches secretly coexist with humans, there lived a fragile and timid vampire named Aliena. Her life took a tragic turn when her mother left her, leaving her in the care of her cruel stepfamily, the Anwars, who despised her for being different. Aliena was not like other vampires. She possessed no remarkable abilities or strengths, often the target of her stepsisters' mockery and mistreatment. Forced to live in secrecy among humans in the Mundane universe, her life was a never-ending nightmare. But destiny had different plans for Aliena. The vampire kingdom of Nacrifa, in the mysterious realm known as the Dark Universe, was on the brink of war. The current king, summoned all vampires in the Mundane universe back. Upon her arrival in Nacrifa, Aliena was introduced to a world of darkness, magic, and intrigue. The royal court was a complex web of vampire politics, where alliances were fragile, and betrayals were commonplace. Amidst the chaos, Aliena found herself inexplicably drawn to the enigmatic Crown Prince, Sebastian. He was not a pure vampire but a rare hybrid, born of both vampire and witch bloodlines, and carried an air of mystery and danger. As Sebastian and Aliena spent more time together, their connection deepened, and a forbidden romance blossomed. But the path to their love was not smooth, as both their worlds were threatened by external forces. Dark creatures and powerful adversaries sought to tear apart the kingdom of Nacrifa, and Aliena discovered her unique abilities could be the key to victory. Yet, the mysteries didn't end there. The Crown Prince harbored a hidden identity that even his closest confidants were unaware of. Secrets from the past began to unravel, and their intertwined destinies became entangled in a tapestry of love, magic, and danger. As the war loomed over Nacrifa, Aliena had to find the strength within herself to rise above her weaknesses and embrace her true self. In a world where strength came in many forms, she had to prove that even the weakest vampire had a role to play in the kingdom's survival.

On the fateful night of October 10th, the Hidden Leaf Village is thrown into chaos as the Nine-Tailed Fox attacks. To protect the village, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, sacrifice their lives to seal the beast within their newborn son — Menma Uzumaki. But Menma is not alone. Born alongside him is his twin brother, Naruto Namikaze. Unlike Naruto, who grows up carrying the Hokage’s name, Menma bears the forgotten bloodline of the Uzumaki clan — a clan once feared and hunted to near extinction. As the years pass, Menma’s heart burns with a single desire: vengeance. For the betrayal that led to his clan’s downfall, for the scorn he endured as the Nine-Tails’ host, and for the legacy stolen from him. Where Naruto seeks bonds, Menma seeks retribution. Two brothers. Two paths. One destiny that will shake the shinobi world.

Ymir Celestie of Lunar. He was a character I cherished because his design was modeled after me. One of the finest creations, and a central antagonist in the game I was working on. But if someone asked whether I’d ever want to live his life, I’d probably stare at them and wonder what kind of nonsense they were spouting. Because Ymir’s existence wasn’t one a person could truly endure. He was the kind of prince who would sacrifice even himself, if the trade promised greater gain. . . . And here I was… reincarnated as a psychopath, hiding behind the mask of a prince, and a professor. --- Disclaimer: All characters, events, and mythologies depicted in this work are entirely fictional.
