I Married Him For Points

“I’m terribly sorry my champagne found your face so magnetic, Captain.” Theodore Ashford does not get angry. No — he smiles. Slow. Amused. Dangerous. “No apology necessary, Lady Cruelton. In fact, I insist you join us for dinner next week. I find you… fascinating.” — Beatrice Whitmore died once already. She wakes up inside a 1940s romance novel — not as the heroine, but as the infamous purple-haired villainess destined for scandal, disgrace, and an early grave. Everyone hates Lady Cruelton. Which is perfect. Because survival comes with rules. A mysterious System rewards her with Hatred Points for humiliation, social ruin, and expertly executed cruelty. The more she’s despised, the longer she lives. Reform is fatal. Kindness is suicide. Being terrible should be easy. Until Captain Theodore Ashford — decorated war hero, heir to an estate as vast as his ego — refuses to despise her. Immune to her schemes, unfazed by her insults, he watches her with knowing amusement… as if he sees through every calculated performance. Faking her death was supposed to secure her escape from the plot. Instead, his attention drags her deeper into it. Now Beatrice must outmaneuver gossip, rewrite a story determined to destroy her, and earn enough Hatred Points to survive — without falling for the only man who doesn’t hate her. Because in a world where love is the true death sentence for a villainess… Cruelty might be her only way out.

The Shadow-Crowned Heir (English version)

In his past life, Rei was a soldier whose existence was consumed by gunpowder, rain, and blood. After years of carrying corpses, guilt, and impossible responsibilities, his life ended in a futile sacrifice that failed to save his platoon. But death was not his end. Reincarnated as Rei ArcDusk, firstborn of the ancient ArcDusk Clan, he now belongs to a lineage of shadow assassins. Guided by a power he had never felt before—and tormented by the memory of those he failed to protect—Rei seeks a new purpose: that no one around him should die as before. But the shadows of the world are not silent. An organization as old as the temples, known as The Order of the Broken Eclipse, advances from the darkness. Its agents kidnap, kill, and corrupt in the name of a leader whose name no one knows. But Rei does not seek glory. He does not seek titles. He does not want to be a hero. He only wants what he never had in his past life: The power to protect. The power to not fail again. And in the shadows of this new world... that desire may turn him into something no one is ready to face. ------- Author's Note The original version of this story is written in Spanish.

End Of World Marriage

Kenan wanted to escape his past. Kate wanted a future she could control. On their wedding day, both are ripped away. Exposed by betrayal before their vows are sealed, their marriage fractures in front of everyone they know. Before accusations can be answered, before forgiveness or fury can settle—explosions tear through the church, and the world ends. They awaken in a cursed forest world called Horta. The trees have faces. The ground bleeds corruption. And a cold, impartial System informs them of a simple truth: They are the last heroes. Every other world has failed. Every other chosen has died. Their faces now grow in the bark of the forest that devoured them. Kenan and Kate are given a single clearing and a dying pylon. A fragile foothold in a world already lost. Cultivate it. Defend it. Expand it. Or humanity disappears with them. Waves of monsters crash against their shrinking sanctuary. Each victory buys them meters of safety. Each failure tightens the forest’s grip. What begins as a blood-soaked clearing must become a refuge. What becomes a refuge must grow into something capable of sustaining the last survivors of Earth. But survival demands more than strength. Kenan hides a violent truth from the life he tried to abandon. Kate refuses to trust the man who betrayed her. They must fight side by side while their marriage rots between them. Base by base. Wave by wave. Meter by meter. They will carve light out of corruption. They will turn wilderness into a stronghold. They will cultivate a dead world into humanity’s final hope. If they don’t destroy each other first. A dark system-apocalypse story blending base building, relentless base defense, psychological survival, and a fractured romance forced to endure the end of everything. To save the world, they must grow it. To grow it, they must survive. And to survive… they must decide whether love is strength—or weakness. End of World Marriage is a survival romance about betrayal, forced intimacy, and choosing love when the world has already fallen apart. it also includes elements of Base Building/ slice of life elements, farming, taming, dungeon clearing(of a sort), family building, then town to Kingdom to world building later. basically imagine an End of the world Adam and Eve story. of you want action and tough fights, it's here in spades. if you want romance and a story where the characters grow with each other. you'll find it here. another fair warning, this book is very mature. so sexual themes and scenes would be explored, maybe not in detail but, it'll be there. please show some love and support.
