But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and become celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

Reborn six years later, fully aware of the lies that stole her happiness, she returns stronger, sharper, and determined to protect her family and reclaim her life. With months to the day she once died, Seorin uncovers the cousin who betrayed her and carefully begins weaving a web of revenge. Every smile, every word, and every observation is part of her plan to expose the lies, manipulate the palace, and ensure that those who wronged her pay for their treachery. Her parents’ honor and her younger brother’s safety drive her every move, and nothing—not whispers, not deception, not betrayal—will go unnoticed. As her revenge unfolds, Seorin’s careful strategies lead to confrontations, revelations, and the gradual unraveling of those who plotted against her. She transforms from the naive girl of her first life into a force the palace cannot ignore, proving that even the deepest betrayal cannot break a will sharpened by death and rebirth. But even as she claims her victories, the past is only the beginning. Every step brings her closer to a destiny she has yet to understand—a fate written before birth that will challenge everything she thought she knew. A Fate Written Before Birth is a gripping tale of rebirth, revenge, and resilience, following one woman who refuses to be broken and will stop at nothing to protect those she loves and reclaim her life.

She went back to forget him. Six years ago, Fang Zhiyuan was her whole world — her first love, her biggest mistake, the wound she carried all the way to New York and never let anyone touch. She thought time had done its work. She thought she was finally ready to face the city that held all her ghosts. She was wrong. Because he is still there. Still sorry. Still looking at her like no time has passed at all — like six years of silence can be undone with the right words, the right moment, the right kind of persistence. And part of her, the part she thought she had buried, is listening. What Fang Zhiyuan doesn't know is that Cheng Yi came back wearing someone else's ring. What she doesn't know is how to explain to herself why, with her husband thirteen thousand kilometres away, she still reaches for her phone just to hear his voice. First love never really lets go. But sometimes, what holds you tightest isn't what you lost. It's what you almost walked away from.

Luella Qiao was once the diamond of the capital, until a frame-up by her half-sister and a betrayal by her fiancé left her penniless and branded a criminal. After five years in hiding, she returns—not as the soft girl they broke, but as a woman with a heart of ice. To reclaim the Qiao Empire, she needs a monster on her side. And there is no monster more feared than Xavier Vane, the "Titan of the North." He is ruthless, untouchable, and famously hates women. The deal was simple: A marriage of convenience. He gets a wife to satisfy his grandfather’s will; she gets the Vane family’s bottomless resources for her revenge. But as Luella begins systematically dismantling her enemies, she realizes the "Cold CEO" isn't as indifferent as he seems. In the boardroom, he is a shark. In their bedroom, the walls he built are starting to crumble. When the revenge is over and the contract ends, will Luella walk away, or will she realize that the coldest man in the city is the only one who can keep her heart warm?

"You are wolfless. Broken. Unworthy of my mark. I, Marcus Blackthorn, reject you as my mate." Sera Ashwood believed being wolfless was her greatest shame—until the night her fated mate publicly rejected her for her stepsister. Until he got her stepsister pregnant and announced she would be his Luna. Until her own pack framed her for poisoning the Alpha's heir and cast her out to die. Scarred, pregnant, and alone in the Outcast Lands, she has nothing left but the life growing in her belly and a rage that burns hotter than any wolf's fire. Then he appears—a masked stranger cloaked in shadows and power, his presence so commanding that even rogues bow before him. He offers what seems impossible: protection, power, and a place at his side as Luna Queen of the most feared pack in all the realm. But there's a price. She must never ask his name. Never try to see beneath his mask. And never question why the Alpha King himself would choose a wolfless, rejected outcast to wear his crown. As Sera's belly grows and her power awakens—a power that shouldn't exist in someone without a wolf—she begins to suspect her mate's rejection wasn't about weakness. It was about fear. Because she isn't wolfless. She's something far more dangerous. And the masked king who claimed her? He's been searching for her bloodline for a decade, ever since his own mate was murdered and their kingdom fell into darkness. Now her former pack wants her dead. Her stepsister wants her crown. And the mate who rejected her will burn the world down to get her back. But Sera isn't the broken girl they cast out. She's the Luna Queen they should have bowed to. And queens don't forgive. They conquer.

It's like someone built a super-cool, shiny new city on top of an old, not-so-shiny one. Imagine super tall buildings made of shiny metal and glass, powered by clean energy, like something out of a fun cartoon! But when you look down at the streets, they're dark and full of stories from long ago. The city is super clean, almost like they're trying to wash away the past. But guess what? Everyone has to learn all about those old wars in school. It's kind of strange, right? This focus on the past is a big problem for our friend Hawkstroke. His last name, Stroke, is like a not-so-fun shadow hanging over him. A long time ago, people blamed the Strokes for starting big wars. Can you believe it? Because of this, people today aren't always very nice to Hawk. They give him funny looks, like he's going to cause trouble. Some people even think the Strokes are born to start wars! They treat Hawk like he's a time bomb about to explode. And guess where this not-so-nice feeling is the strongest? At Neo-Berlin High School! Imagine a huge, serious building – it's not like a normal school. It's more like a super-safe government place pretending to be a school. It's even built on the same spot where Hawk's brother, Hank, passed away. Neo-Berlin High is where all the important people in the city send their kids – kids whose families wrote the history books that aren't very nice to the Strokes. The school is a bit scary, with dark walls, hallways that echo, and lots of security cameras. Every time Hawk walks through the halls, he feels like he's in a tricky game. He knows the school has a secret message from Hank that will show everyone that Hank's death wasn't just an accident, like the city says. For Hawk, Neo-Berlin High isn't just about learning. It's where he has to fight the stories that make his family look bad and the powerful people who hurt his brother. 【EXTRA GENRES:- MYSTERY, MURDER, THRILLER, BRUTALITY, DEEP VIOLENCE, GENIUS VILLAIN, MAFIAS, GANG WARS, UNDERWORLD, POLITICS, POLITICAL REALITY AND VIOLENCE, MARTIAL ARTS, SECRET IDENTITY, TRAGEDY, SCHOOL LIFE, GLOBAL WARS, SURVIVAL, STRATEGY.】 BENEFITS IF YOU R A REGULAR READER :- Q&A (+) POLLS AND VOTES (+) THEORIES AND OPINION (+) REGULAR VIEWERS WILL GET THEIR NAMES LISTED IN THE TOP 3 LOYAL READERS AT THE END OF EVERY MONTH 【• EVEN IF THIS STORY GETS REJECTED I WILL CONTINUE TO UPLOAD CHAPTERS BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE, IM 15 YEARS OLD AND THIS IS JUST MY IMAGINARY STORY, I HAVE BEEN WRITING THIS STORY FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS, BUT BECAUSE OF SCHOOL AND STUDIES, I WAS NEVER ABLE TO UPLOAD IT.

The world ended once—quietly, in fire and forgotten gods. In the ruins of Bhūtala, three broken youths survive a battle they were never meant to win. Abhi, Aryan, and Ahaan are ordinary—wounded, defeated, and powerless—yet something ancient has begun to stir within them. Long before cities fell and skies burned, divine knowledge shaped the fate of worlds. That knowledge was buried. Sealed. Lost to time. Now, echoes of it are awakening. As remnants of advanced technology clash with forgotten myth, the three are drawn into a war that predates humanity itself—one where gods fade, civilizations collapse, and power demands a price. Guided by a shadowed mentor and hunted by forces that should not exist, they must grow stronger or be erased from history. Ancient weapons. Lost battles. Three destinies converging toward a single, inevitable truth. This is not a story of heroes born strong. It is the story of survivors who must rise—or be consumed by the aeons that came before them. Aeons Nirvana is a myth-forged science fantasy saga of progression, sacrifice, and the rebirth of legends.
