Flowers And Gunpowder

Diaval_
Angelina Belli was raised on Sunday mass, fresh flour, and the quiet understanding that her father's world had rules she was never meant to question. When a years-long war between her father and the most dangerous Capo in Chicago finally bleeds too many people dry, the peace has a price. One arranged marriage. Her name on a contract beside Luciano Ferrara's—a man built from silence, gunpowder, and something that hasn't softened in a very long time. She says yes. For the peace. For her father. For the people who stopped coming home. Luciano doesn't want a wife. He especially doesn't want this wife—warm and churchgoing and relentlessly, catastrophically kind. He sets one rule for himself the moment she walks through his door smelling like vanilla and wearing something yellow. Keep her at arm's length. Don't let her in. He fails by Tuesday. She's not trying to dismantle him. She's just leaving cupcakes outside his office and learning his housekeeper's birthday and planting things in his garden like she intends to stay. She does intend to stay. What she doesn't intend is to fall in love with a man who is trying so hard not to love her back. He will burn the world for her before this is over. He just doesn't know it yet. Flowers and Gunpowder is a slow-burn arranged marriage mafia romance full of grumpy brooding, relentless sunshine, cupcakes used as emotional warfare, and a love story that was never supposed to happen—and absolutely did.

Bleach : The silent blade

Reborn in the Rukongai as a child with no memory of his previous life, Kurotsuki Renya awakens to the cold truths of Soul Society. At eleven years old, he’s rescued by Renji Abarai and Rukia Kuchiki during a routine patrol in the outer districts. Sensing his latent spiritual pressure, they bring him into the Seireitei, where he is enrolled in the Shin’ō Academy. Renya quickly rises to the top of his class — not through raw power, but through precision, discipline, and an unnerving mastery of stealth and Kidō. While most cadets aim to join the Gotei 13, Renya is handpicked by the Commander of the Onmitsukidō — Soul Society’s covert assassination and black ops unit — and recruited into the Corps of Punishment. Though still young, Renya conceals a brutal resolve behind his calm demeanor. In a world shaped by balance and duty, he forms his own creed: “Those who threaten order from the shadows… shall be erased by the shadows.” Haunted by visions of a burning sky and a name long forgotten, Renya carries out missions deemed too dark for the Gotei 13 — eliminating traitors, suppressing forbidden knowledge, and protecting Soul Society’s secrets at all costs. But when strange anomalies begin appearing across the districts — echoes of spiritual energy not tied to Hollows, Quincy, or Arrancar — Renya is forced to confront the reality that the greatest threats to Soul Society may not come from the outside… but from within.

LOVE; A SWORD TO PIERCE THE LIE

Butterflies drink tears to harvest sorrow, but who comforts the one who wrote the sorrow? Gazelle was a writer who built worlds to escape her own traumatic past, but when she wakes up inside the very fiction she did not create, she realizes her mind has become her cage.

I Wanted a 2D Harem Isekai, Got a Rule-Horror Game

Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair! .... This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story.
