The Duke's Unwanted Second Wife

Kn_star8
**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

disaster world

In the year 3751, humanity no longer rules only Earth. Civilization has spread across planets, dimensions, and galaxies where cultivation, advanced technology, and ancient energies coexist. Powerful warriors capable of destroying cities stand beside futuristic empires powered by spirit technology, while countless species fight for dominance among the stars. At the center of this vast world stands Ling High School, one of humanity’s elite cultivation academies responsible for training future protectors, generals, and dimensional warriors. And within that academy exists Huang Ming. A first-year student ranked at the very bottom. A Trainee Warrior. Born into poverty within Meiying City, Huang struggles simply to survive among monstrous geniuses blessed with overwhelming talent, powerful bloodlines, and advanced cultivation techniques. Compared to students like Luna Ling, a legendary warrior saint candidate, or Kael Riven, the terrifying prodigy of the Elite Division, Huang appears painfully ordinary. Weak. Untalented. Forgettable. But hidden beneath Huang’s unstable body lies something abnormal. Something that should not exist. While others follow structured cultivation systems built upon perfection and balance, Huang’s body evolves through instability, adaptation, and collapse. His cultivation refuses to follow normal laws, causing his energy, meridians, and even existence itself to fluctuate irregularly. Then one night— Huang awakens a mysterious female system named Lyra inside a fractured inner dimension hidden deep within his soul. Together, they begin walking a path never meant to exist. A path capable of breaking the laws of cultivation itself. As humanity faces dimensional invasions, alien civilizations, higher realms, and ancient beings beyond comprehension, Huang slowly discovers that his existence may be connected to something far greater than anyone realises. In a universe ruled by rankings, talent, and perfection— Huang Ming may become the one anomaly capable of surpassing them all.
