Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! Character driven, before plot! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same. ──── ୨୧ ──── There are occasional illustrations littered throughout the novel drawn by me (slowly commissioning to get others done), usually found in the comments! !!CREDIT!! Cover Art by @Sayoto (VGen) Illustrations by me (@meowssey) and zaza (@zazhah) (Both commissioned artists are amazing to work with and I highly recommend their work!)

Elmswood Academy

Blood curling screams echo through the night. Melodic voices tempt the heart. Fire spills from the lips, chants weave into the air, talisman glimmer and eyes the color of burning coals pierce through the dark. Wolves howl loud enough to shake the mountains. At the heart of it all stands… Elmswood Academy. A Gothic building hidden behind ancient walls and strong spells making it invisible from humans is the home of thousands of supernatural creatures the world didn't know existed. Nyx Shadowmoon at Eighteen had already known she was different from her peers but when her powers manifest violently on her birthday, her foster parents receive a mysterious map leading to Elmswood Academy—a hidden school for supernatural beings. Upon arrival, Nyx discovers she's the impossible: half-demon, half-werewolf, a forbidden combination that shouldn't exist due to an ancient blood feud between the species. Caught between two worlds that both reject her, Nyx finds herself drawn to two powerful mates—Azazel, the demon crown prince who represents everything dark and forbidden within her, and Orion, a werewolf alpha who offers acceptance and belonging. As political tensions escalate and her dual nature makes her a target,another truth emerges - one far more shattering… Azazel and Orion are bound as fated mates. Demon and wolf. Enemy and rival, a pairing that should be impossible just as impossible as Nyx herself. As betrayal cut deep and loyalty fracture, Nyx must navigate supernatural politics, first love, and the mystery of her origins while discovering that her existence may be the key to either ending the ancient war—or reigniting it with devastating consequences while facing three choices - deny the bond and risk tearing the three of them apart, claim one mate and ignite war with the other or embrace the impossible - accepting a love that defies every law, every prejudice, and every tradition of any kind.

THE VILLAIN PRINCE REFUSES TO DIE

After dying in a modern world 'Intentional' accident 55 years ago, as a modern university student. Kagen woke up inside the body of Prince Cassian Valemont — the infamous villain prince of the Holy Empire of Edrath. From a dark fantasy novel his sister loved the most. In the original story, the prince becomes corrupted by forbidden shadow magic and is publicly executed by the empire’s war hero, Sir Lucien Arden. And Kagen remembers only one thing from his sister's summaries: “The prince dies horribly.” Determined to survive, he avoids cruelty, stops provoking nobles, and tries to stay away from forbidden magic. But there is only one problem. He has already transmigrated before. Again. And again. And again. Every timeline ends the same way: betrayal, political manipulation, forced royal marriages, pregnancy used as political control, and finally execution at the hands of Sir Lucien Arden...all the damn time. At first, Kagen tried everything to survive. He acted kind. He acted obedient. He ran away. He exposed corruption. He avoided forbidden magic. He even sacrificed himself for the kingdom. But nothing changed. Every path led back to death...with Sir Lucien's blade. So eventually, Kagen stops trying to become a good person nor a bad person, he stops trying at all if it means surviving as Cassian Valemont. At least until he finds his way back home and strangle his sister to death for switching his ritual patterns and led him into this world instead. But during all that idleness, will Lucien sit by and watch him from afar while he does nothing with his life or will he hunt him down and get closer to him in this turn too?

Transmigration:The Villain Wants A Happy End Without His BeastHusbands

After finishing a tragic novel where the villain is betrayed and killed by his own beast husbands, Li Wei does what any reasonable reader would do. He rants about the ending. Then he gets hit by a car. When he opens his eyes again, Li Wei finds himself inside that very novel, reborn as Su Ningyan, the future villain destined to walk a path of madness, war, and blood. Ten years before his fall. Ten years before his death. In the original story, Su Ningyan’s unstable phoenix beast core drives him toward forbidden power, turning him into a feared villain who ultimately dies at the hands of the men he loved most. This time, Li Wei refuses that fate. He will avoid the villian arc. He will heal his beast core. And he will stay far away from the four terrifying beast princes who will one day become his husbands. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. The academy meant to heal him becomes a battlefield of tension, rivalry, and instinctual bonds. The beast princes notice him far too early, and the more Su Ningyan tries to escape the plot, the tighter destiny coils around him. Because in a world ruled by beast bloodlines and ancient bonds, some connections cannot be severed only delayed. And the husbands who once killed him… may not be willing to let him go again. **** Excerpt Su Ningyan didn’t know where he was. At first, he thought he was dreaming. His body felt warm... too warm... and the scent in the air was unfamiliar, sharp and clean, like lightning after rain. He turned onto his side. And froze. A pair of golden dragon eyes stared back at him from inches away. The man was breathtaking. Long black hair spread across silk pillows, sharp features sculpted as if carved from jade. His presence alone pressed down on Su Ningyan’s chest, heavy and suffocating. His face went pale. “What the—” “You’re awake.” The man smiled faintly. Jun Haoxuan. Azure Dragon Clan. Future Beast King. And, according to the book, one of the men who would eventually become his husband. “Did you sleep well?” Jun Haoxuan asked calmly. Su Ningyan’s eye twitched. He was supposed to be avoiding them. So why was he waking up in the dragon prince’s bed?

Cupid's Devilish Side (BL)

Psyche, the youngest son of Capital City’s greatest conglomerate, belonging to the Demetriou family, was cursed with the life of an F-Rank Hunter with an S-Rank ability. Meaning, a really useful skill but no means to protect himself from harm. He had sworn to himself that he would make a lot of money and leave the tower, see the outside world, and live a single life forever. No woman would distract him from his goal. “I will never fall in love. Never.” Looking for a way to avoid his family treating him like livestock to milk off of his ability, he follows the only way he knew to finally be freed: Climbing the Infinity Tower. However, the journey soon proves to Psyche that he has eaten more than he can chew. Especially when the System seems hell-bent on pairing him up with a complete stranger who keeps showing up every time he is in danger. As such, he ends up accepting the quest given to him in exchange for finally escaping. "You need to keep in mind that while you serve his majesty, you aren't allowed to peek under his mask at night. Nor can you see him during the day, understood?"  “Then, what exactly is my job?” “You need to make sure his highness never leaves the room at night.” “W-What?” “The young master isn't to be left out of his room at night. No matter what. Do you understand?” Sigh. If only it were that simple for a mere human to keep an ancient god with a bad attitude grounded in his room.  — *This is a (very gay) tower-world retelling of the Roman myth "Cupid and Psyche". In no way does it pretend to be taken as a faithful source of culture or religion, nor does it intend to disparage them. It was simply inspired by the myth. (Greek and Roman god's names will be mixed) *This isn't a fanfic. *The cover art does not belong to me and will be removed upon request. *Enjoy \(*u*)/
