betrayal

The 3rd Prince may have been weak in cultivation, but he had other talents to make up for it. When Mais loses everything and becomes blind, he is convinced that he has no reason to live anymore. It is only a short time later that he meets someone blessed with the gift of cultivation to give him hope for his revenge. In that moment, hope is reborn. There was always hope. Mais overcame the weakness of his cultivation and overcame the limits one by one with his friend. In this world where he lives for revenge, he has reached heights he never imagined in the past. But nothing can be that simple. And it wasn't. At some point he really became a cultivator. A cultivator, independent of his friend and everyone else, seeking immortality.

Dana Snide lives between two worlds: the ordinary life she was born into, and the Labyrinth that calls to her every night — a place where her power feels alive. When a coven gathering spirals into chaos and old enemies resurface, Dana becomes the centre of a conflict she barely understands. The world she once felt safe in has become her prison, and her fate demands blood, obedience, and sacrifice. Caught between loyalty, danger, and a power she cannot yet control, she is forced to seek answers and the closer she gets to the truth, the more she loses. Hunted, uncertain who to trust, and afraid of what she might become, Dana must uncover the truth about herself… before the truth finds her first. Will she fulfill her destiny… or has it been rigged to fail? P.S.

Riley Voss has always been invisible. In foster homes, in school, in a world that didn't want to see her, she learned to move through life unnoticed. It kept her safe. It kept her alone. When the virus comes—engineered to target adults, to collapse society, to clear the way for something new—Riley is ready. She has been preparing her whole life without knowing it. But no amount of preparation could have saved her from the men who come for her in the woods. The ones who know her name. The ones who put a needle in her neck and ship her across the ocean with hundreds of other children. She wakes on a military vessel, then on an island she cannot name. She is not a prisoner. She is something worse: chosen. Selected for a project she was never meant to understand. The world ended so a new one could begin. Riley is part of it. She just doesn't know what for yet.

​[DARK PSYCHOLOGICAL BL THRILLER / OBSESSION] Are you trying to destroy me, Yuyan?" The golden boy’s voice wasn't filled with fear, but a dark, breathless fascination. ""You made a monster. Now you have to live with him," Yuyan smiled, his beautiful face perfectly crafted for this very moment. Seven years ago, Xu Zhifan—the Nation's Heartthrob—staged a deadly fire just to win a sick bet. He wanted to see if the boy who loved him would walk into the flames to save him. The boy did. He thought the boy died in the ashes. He was wrong. Lin Yuyan survived. He built a new face from the ruins of the old one, spending seven years sculpting himself into exactly what Xu Zhifan finds beautiful. Now, Yuyan has returned with a singular, terrifying goal: To dismantle Zhifan's perfect life piece by piece. Career . Freedom. Sanity. Yuyan controls the narrative, the leaks, the slow erosion of a golden reputation. He is patient in the way only people who have lost everything can be. He expects the golden boy to break. He expects him to beg. But as the trap finally snaps shut, Yuyan realizes a terrifying truth: Zhifan isn't breaking. He's fascinated. And the monster Yuyan came back to destroy might just fall in love with the cage.

After being betrayed by her lover for a relic, princess Lena of Moon Palace had no choice but to become a warrior for the heaven.

There she happens to find some traces of the stolen relic as she can feel it because she resonates with it, what would she do after that, what kind of twisted fate is to befall her.

For years, Anna never thought Sullivan was the type of man anyone should go to for help. Heck! She didn't think he was the type of man anyone should be seen with. She hated him. Secretly. Deeply. And loathed his presence. His existence alone appalled her until she crashed into his building. A loud cry for his protection and help. Sullivan didn't bother with Anna. She was too busy hating him while keeping his secret, too absorbing. Too much of everything he shouldn't be giving in to. Yet, in a fleet of seconds, she ripped his perfectly quiet world apart. As the world of the supernatural opened before her, with their unknown enemy promising a repeat of tragic fate, Anna banked on Sullivan's protection. Taking pleasure in his attention and interest. Yet, the knowledge she lacked was that peculiar interest is often overwhelming. Unhealthy. Dangerous. Obsessive. And a path of thorn that tears at the most precious skin. ■■■■■■■ “Are you hiding, little bird?” His tone was different from the usual. It wasn't the coo she knew, neither was it the song of calmness that often emanated from him. It was vibrating. An allure that in a dark and dangerous way promised a touch that would drift her alive. Annabelle kept her hand to her mouth, her heart racing past its usual rate. She wondered in that moment—now that she knew what he was—if he could hear her heart beat. As if the universe was sending her a response, she felt him stop. Right above where she hid. Holding a shaky breath, she raised her head, feeling the pressure of his feet on the wood that obscured her view from him. Surely, his ability can't go underground. Surely, the scent of watermelon and potatoes would mask her. Yet…the low chuckle that sounded like a sinister laughter made her heart jump, as her legs gave away. He lifted the wooden pallet, their gazes colliding in a fit of what seems to be prey and predator instinct. A tiny smirk was playing on his face now, the same one she was used to. And the evidence was as glaring as daylight. Blood streak marked his crisp white shirt, drooling down the side of his face to his lips—his hands, a crimson bloody mess against rich skin. The stale of another man's death lingering around him, morphing his aura and forever confirming what he is. What he will always be. “Little bird…” “Please…” Huge palm reached out to pat her nest of hair, definitely leaving behind strokes of blood. The metallic iron scent assaulted her nose in the small space she hid. He was after her heart—an organ she feared he might mean in the literal sense. As she remained in the squatting position, watermelon threatening to squash beneath her knees, she felt his pat. Once. Twice. As soothing as always for a creature like him. “I wished upon you little bird. You cannot run from me.” His words were a promise, a seal that bounded them together. Forever. ■■■■■■■ This is an enemies to lovers cum friends to lovers kind of story. ALSO... !!!THIS BOOK WILL CONTAIN DARK VULGAR AND CRUDE CHAPTERS BUT A SERIES OF WARNINGS WILL BE ISSUED BEFOREHAND (depends on this authors mood *evil laughter*) SO...YOU WILL BE FINE ^.^

She fell to the lowest rank in her pack, rejected by her sworn mate. Stripped of status, strength, and even her wolf, she was forced to live a life worse than that of an omega.

Desire ignites into fierce passion. And passion threatens to become love.

"So naive, Melanie. So stupid." Those were the last words I heard before a bullet ended my life. Betrayed by my best friend and murdered by her boyfriend, I thought it was the end. Instead, I woke up in a cold wedding hall, wearing a dress worth a kingdom and staring into the icy eyes of Duke Draven Everfrost. I’ve transmigrated into The Duke’s Obsession—as Seraphina Helene Valemont, the villainess destined to be executed by her own husband for treason. My wedding vows haven't even been spoken, yet the Duke has already declared my silence as submission. In this world of ruthless aristocrats and deadly magic, I have only two goals: Avoid the executioner's blade. Never trust anyone again. But with a mysterious "System" breathing down my neck and a husband who treats me like a political prisoner, surviving the first night might be harder than avoiding the end of the book.

Like a mad king, Agust waged relentless wars to drive them into hiding. Until he met Park.

"Sign it. I don't want your money, and I don't want your daughter." For seven years, Rong Ci endured CEO Feng Tingshen’s freezing indifference. She thought her deep love could eventually melt his heart of ice. Instead, he fell in love at first sight with another woman. The final straw wasn't his neglect. It was flying thousands of miles on her birthday, only to find him treating that woman like a queen. It was watching the daughter she raised with her own hands tug on the other woman's dress, begging her to be her new mommy. In that moment, Rong Ci's heart died. She left the divorce agreement on the table, abandoned her custody rights, and walked away without looking back. Everyone laughed, waiting for the abandoned housewife to crawl back to the Feng family. Instead, Rong Ci returned to the business world and effortlessly built an empire worth hundreds of billions. Now a flawless, untouchable billionaire queen, she waited for her divorce certificate. But it never came. The cold, noble CEO who once loathed coming home now blocked her against the wall, his eyes red with desperate obsession. "Divorce?" his voice trembled. "Rong Ci... even if I die, I won't let you go."

Marriage means different things to different people. For Thalia Kim, it means survival. Five years ago, she died on her wedding night. Not in a dramatic, metaphorical way, but quite literally, with a broken bottle driven straight into her heart. She had only been doing what she always did. Men could never fully handle her, and they rarely stayed conscious after. So when her third husband went still, she assumed he had fainted, just like the others. He hadn’t. He opened his eyes, saw something he shouldn’t have, and panicked. Before her power could take effect, everything went wrong. That was how she lost her first tail. Now she only has eight left, and worse, her core is already starting to break. If it collapses completely, even a year would be considered lucky. So yes, she needs to get married again—not for love, not for happiness, but simply to stay alive long enough to become human. The plan is simple: find someone, get married, survive. It would have worked. If she hadn’t proposed to William Carter. A man her sister is clearly afraid of. A man who does not look like someone she can control. And more importantly, a man who should have refused without a second thought. But he didn’t. He said yes! Just like that, without hesitation, without question, as if the decision had already been made long before she even asked. Now, things are already starting to go wrong. Her ability doesn’t work on him. She doesn’t know what he wants. And he doesn’t seem like the kind of man who makes careless decisions. Which leaves her with one very inconvenient problem... This marriage might keep her alive. Or it might end exactly the way her last one did.
