Ghost in the palace

Ananya never expected death to bring her into another life. One moment, she was running her parents’ restaurant in the modern world. The next, she opened her eyes in silk robes, surrounded by hostile stares — the Queen Consort of the empire. But this body was cursed in everyone’s eyes. The Emperor loathed her. The mistress laughed at her. And the court whispered behind her back. Only she wasn’t truly alone. > “Finally, someone can see us!” “What kind of Queen Consort are you, so calm even with ghosts in your chamber?” “Shut up, Wei Rong, let her breathe. She looks like she’s about to faint.” Three ghosts — a stoic scholar, a brash general, and a mischievous noble girl — lingered at her side. They were invisible to all but her. And with them, she learned to survive the poisonous palace. When rumors spread that she was cursed, Ananya stood before the empire’s court. Instead of tears, she offered proof. Instead of fear, she offered dignity. > “If Heaven believes I am cursed, let the fire and smoke betray me. I will not hide.” And Heaven sided with her. Outside the palace, crises struck — starving soldiers, missing supplies, merchants growing fat from stolen grain. Inside, Lady Zhen, the Emperor’s favored mistress, grew bolder by the day, flaunting her beauty and mocking Ananya’s quiet grace. > “Sister, do you still dream of winning His Majesty’s heart? Look at you — plain, dull, unworthy.” “If simplicity is a crime, then let it be mine,” Ananya answered, unshaken. The Emperor indulged Lady Zhen openly… but in the silence of night, he tasted Ananya’s food, lingered at her table, and found himself unsettled by her calm. > “This is not palace fare,” he muttered. “It is lighter,” Ananya replied softly. “Easier to sleep after.” Step by step, conspiracy thickened. At a grand banquet, a poisoned cup was placed in Ananya’s hand. But a ghost’s laugh echoed in her ear — and the cup was swapped. A dancer collapsed instead. From that night on, the Emperor’s gaze changed. He began to notice the woman who never begged for favor, never fought for attention, yet always endured. Still, war brewed at the borders. Betrayals reached even the throne. Assassins crept through the palace halls. And the one person who seemed weakest became the calm at the center of the storm. Through whispered secrets, mischievous hauntings, and quiet resilience, Ananya carved her place in the empire. She would not simply survive. She would rise. And the Emperor who once despised her would one day whisper only her name.

Return of Black Lotus system:Taming Cheating Male Leads

WARNING: ITS A 18+ BOOK Heena stretched on the warm sand, sipping coconut water. Finally, peace. No scheming heroines, no brooding male leads—just her and the ocean. “HEENA! MOTHER! I FOUND YOU!” Her eye twitched. Not now. Floating above the beach was a golden lion with sparkling wings. “System 547,” she said, gritting her teeth. “I’m on vacation.” “But the worlds are collapsing! Male leads are going crazy! Villainesses are dying! White lotus heroines are ruining everything!” “Not my problem.” “You’re the Black Lotus! Only you can fix this!” “Exactly why I deserve a vacation.” “No rules! Slap them, seduce them, team up with the villainess—anything!” Heena sipped her coconut. “If I say yes, triple points, rare items from every world, and six months vacation after.” “Done! Anything!” the lion shouted, tail wagging. Heena stood, brushing sand off. “Fine. Show me these broken male leads.” Her smirk was dangerous. . . . The portal threw Heena onto cold marble floors. Her head spun as чуж memories flooded in. Empress Celeste Ravencourt. Five husbands. A dying empire. “Great,” Heena muttered. “I’m the villain.” A tiny golden lion appeared beside her. “Welcome to World 12! You’re married to five powerful men who all hate you. They’re meeting tonight to poison you and crown the heroine instead.” “Let me guess,” Heena sighed. “White lotus?” “Lady Seraphina. Sweet, kind, system-backed. They’re all in love with her.” Heena rubbed her temples. The body was weak, starved, exhausted. No wonder Celeste died so easily. “Fine,” she said, pulling off the heavy jewelry. “That empress is dead. I’m not.” She chose a simple dark dress, tied her hair up, and met her reflection. The sadness vanished. Confidence took its place. At dinner, five men waited—cold, powerful, deadly handsome. Warriors, priests, generals, spies. Every one of them wanted her gone. Wine was poured into her glass. Poisoned. Obvious. They watched her closely. Heena lifted the glass, smiling lightly. “To new beginnings.” She drank it all. The silence cracked. Nothing happened. Their faces changed—shock, fear, disbelief. Heena leaned back, calm and smiling. “Now,” she said softly, “which one of you thought killing me would be that easy?”

Azure Ascendant The Dragons Rebirth DARK-FANTASY/COMEDY-NOVEL

​A Message from the Author: Mr. Zishan ​1. An Unpredictable Journey ​Step into a fantasy realm where boredom does not exist. The flow of the narrative shifts with every volume, ensuring a detailed and immersive world that refuses to follow a predictable path. In this realm, anything can happen, and every chapter is designed to keep you guessing. ​2. The Monster Who Seeks Peace ​Our protagonist, originally known as Haru Ryūzaki, has been reincarnated as the strongest creature alive. Now known as Jee-shahn, he stands seven feet tall—a terrifying "monster" in human form possessing strength that can shatter the greatest beasts. Though he cannot use traditional magic, he possesses the terrifying ability to negate and refuse the very laws that govern this fantasy world. Despite his god-like power, his only desire is to relax and observe the world’s "noise." However, the world rarely lets him rest, forcing us to witness how he navigates his new identity, body, and overwhelming power. ​3. Characters with Soul ​Every character has been crafted with deep complexity and distinct personalities to foster a genuine bond between them and the reader. Alongside my hardworking partner and illustrator, Rin, we have poured our hearts into their designs. We didn’t just create characters; we created companions. We hope you grow to love them as much as we do. ​4. High Stakes and Brutal Realism ​In this story, no one is safe. To maintain a mature and high-stakes atmosphere, death is a very real consequence. Unlike traditional stories where the "hero" always survives, even Jee-shahn faces the threat of death. In times of war, thousands may fall. This realism is what gives the story its "spice" and emotional weight. ​5. A Masterpiece of Contrast ​As the author, my goal is to create a masterpiece that explores the full spectrum of existence—from deep emotional bonds and beautiful romances with various monster races to the brutal reality of life and death. You will find Jee-shahn surrounded by wives, children, students, and millions of followers, all set against a backdrop of comedy, funny rumors, and intense action. ​6. A Unique World-Building Experience ​The structures, creatures, myths, and folklore of this realm are entirely original. While some elements may draw subtle inspiration from the real world, this is a unique universe built from the ground up. ​7. Constant Evolution: From Volume 1 to Volume 2 ​I will admit that Volume 1 moved at a breakneck pace with four overlapping plots, which made the details quite complex. I have taken that feedback to heart for Volume 2. I have slowed the flow and focused on a single, deep plot. While it is 57 pages long, it is ten times more intense, offering deeper world-building and many mysteries that will lead you into the future volumes. ​8. Dense and Impactful Storytelling ​I do not write like traditional authors. My goal is density: one page of my prose is designed to carry the weight of several manga pages, and five pages contain the world-building and "spice" of an entire anime episode. I want every sentence to be valuable, ensuring that whether you love novels, manga, or anime, you are constantly entertained. ​9. A Note to the Readers ​As an author, my motive is to entertain through a mature theme filled with deep world-building and intense emotion. If any element of this brutal world offends or hurts your feelings, please accept my sincere apologies. My goal is simply to create a world that feels alive. ​10. Collaboration and Adaptations ​I am open to my story being adapted into Manga, Webtoons, or Anime. I am happy to provide Saga copies and character designs to interested creators, provided two conditions are met: ​Full credit must be given to me, Mr. Zishan, as the original Author. ​The adaptation must stay true to the "soul" of the story—the brutality, the comedy, and the rumors. If you love the work and respect the style, I would be honored to collaborate. ​11. Final Words ​I have shared enough for
