The Fake Duchess: Married to The Architect Of Graves

Waffly_Witch
My sister, Linnea, fled with her lover on my wedding day. To save our family from the executioner’s block, my father shoved me into her veil. I was sent to marry Dacre Rourke – a man they call the Architect of Graves. They say he sketches the demises of his enemies with terrifying patience. They say he murdered his first wife. I walked into his bedchamber prepared to die. Instead, he tossed a dagger on the table. “I know you aren't Linnea,” the terrifying Duke murmured. “Let's negotiate, little thief.” He didn’t want a wife; he needed a fake bride to hide his treason from the Emperor. I needed his gold to disappear. A perfect contract: Six months. No touching. No feelings. But Dacre didn’t just want an actress. He wanted me. “You came here to steal my gold, Eiran Locke,” he whispered, backing me against the wall, his eyes dark with an obsessive hunger. “But I’m keeping you.”

World martial art

Legends are not born. They are forged — through pain, defeat, and unbreakable will. Leo, a boy from a small village in Nepal, always believed he was ordinary. But everything changed the day a forgotten evil awakened in the mountains — the Dragon Spirit, once sealed away by Leo’s own father. Kaito Jin, a rogue wielder of beast power, breaks the seal and unleashes chaos. Leo tries to fight, but he is powerless. His father sacrifices himself to protect him. That day, Leo loses everything. But he gains one thing — a reason to rise. Carrying the scar over his left eyebrow, the memory of his father, and two unimaginable spirits inside him — the Lion King (Guardian of the Gods) and the Phoenix (God of Fire), a power connected to his mother’s soul — Leo begins a journey across nations. In China, ancient masters push him beyond his limits. In Korea, he learns discipline, philosophy, and inner balance. In Japan, he encounters powerful rivals and a girl who slowly changes his life. In India, Indonesia, and other countries, he faces challengers, builds friendships, and discovers new forms of martial arts. From international tournaments to mysterious beast realms, Leo must face fear, rivalry, loss, and the uncontrollable powers within him. Because one day, he must confront Kaito again. Not as a weak boy… but as the strongest martial artist the world has ever known. This is World Martial Art — a journey of strength, growth, destiny, and the flame that refuses to fade.
