Premise: A girl raised as an elite assassin escapes her brutal upbringing, yearning to live a normal life. Psychopathic in nature, she doesn't understand love the way others do-but when she meets a kind-hearted college boy, she feels something unfamiliar and decides to change. She shadows him, protects him from the shadows, and fakes being a regular student. What she doesn't know is that the boy is secretly the long-lost son of a dying crime lord. Though he's innocent on the surface, he's unknowingly the heir to a throne others are killing to claim. Assassins begin hunting him, and she does everything she can to protect him without revealing her past. But there's another secret: the boy is secretly a masked vigilante fighting crime at night, trying to end the kind of violence that shaped her. Neither of them realizes just how tangled their lives are, or how similar they really are beneath the lies.

“Death was not an end, but a rusted beginning.” In his previous life, Morgan was a brilliant scientist who died burdened with regret. When he opened his eyes once more, he found himself reborn as a baby named Ryan in the world of Alter-Mundus—a realm ruled by massive steam-driven gears, hydraulic blades, and a ruthless Church powered by mana. But this new life was not a reward—it was a trial. His abnormal intellect convinced even his own family that he was “possessed by a demon.” Branded as a holy offering by his parents, Ryan was handed over to the Church and cast into the heart of a corrupted system that feeds humans to the Ancient God. Will Ryan use his scientific knowledge alongside mana and the forbidden Holy Power to take revenge on the world that abandoned him to death? Or will he uncover the dark truth behind the Ancient God who stand behind everything?

Zihan took a sip of his wine, his eyes eyeing her a little. "She always does." His eyes focused on only one woman before finally setting his glass down and made his way toward her. The crowd seemed to part for him, and within moments, he was standing before her, his gave a subtle smirk. "Dance with me." Hand stretched out waiting for her approval as Guo Min clicked her tongue at him and faked a smile and a blush. "... No Mr Zhu, I don't have the resolve to carry all the hate from your fandom". But it wasn't a request, as he smiled but still didn't retrieve his hand. Guo Min sighed before slipping her hand into his.

After almost a year of torment in the hands of her husband, Seraphine Halveth found a breakthrough; her husband's death. Now that she is finally free from his binds, Seraphine plans revenge for everyone of those who betrayed her. Lucien Blackthorne was a man whispered about in fear and awe; ruthless, unyielding, and everything Seraphine should have avoided. Yet fate, cruel and relentless, had other designs. When Lucien uncovered her meticulously woven plan of revenge, he did not threaten to unravel it. Instead, he offered his shadowed aid. Two torches of vengeance met, and from their collision erupted a fire neither had intended. It was not love, but a hunger for possession—dark, consuming, and perilous. As Seraphine’s path of retribution wound ever tighter, a question gnawed at her heart: could she abandon vengeance, even for love, when her soul had been forged in blood and betrayal? If vengeance was the only thing keeping her alive, what remains when it is complete?

Once, the world was ordered. Or so the histories claim. Beyond the veil of recorded time lie continents shaped by judgment and fire, seas ruled by unseen hands, and skies claimed by those who decide who may rise and who must fall. Empires stand upon foundations they no longer remember building, guarded by powers they only half understand. Between Paradise abandoned and Hell yet unclaimed stretches a long descent-through nations hardened by conquest, through truths buried so deeply they have become law. Old oaths fracture. Ancient forces stir. And what was erased from memory begins to walk again. This is not a tale of salvation. It is the chronicle of a world moving, step by step, toward its reckoning.

Forget everything you know about the "Hero"; in this world, there are no heroes. There are only survivors, schemers, and manipulators. ​Here, everyone covets the throne. Every tyrant wants to rule their castle, and every ambitious soul seeks to bring the world to its knees. Between the noble classes weaving conspiracies like spiderwebs, and the wretches of the Abyss who taste pain and blood while watching their families wither and die, there is no room for loyalty. Betrayal is the only recognized currency, and malice is the deadliest weapon. ​You won't wait hundreds of chapters for the excitement to begin. From the very first moment, you will find yourself in the eye of a hurricane of intrigue surrounding you from the right and left, from the highest peaks and the deepest pits. You might love a character in one chapter and wish for their death in the next, because you are not facing an ordinary fantasy story; you are witnessing a living "History" displayed before your eyes in all its ugliness and beauty. ​And amidst this constant treachery and death lurking in every corner, one constant truth remains: You, the reader... are the only hero in this novel, because you are the only one whom this world cannot kill.

My marriage was a lie. My love was a tool. And my death was carefully planned. I thought dying would finally set me free. Instead, I woke up three years in the past one week before I married the man who killed me. This time, I won’t be the obedient wife who walks blindly into her own grave. I’ll cancel the wedding. Expose their betrayal. And marry the one man my ex-fiancé fears the most. Adrian Blackwood. The Devil CEO. A ruthless billionaire with no mercy for his enemies. I walked into his office with a deal: “Marry me. Help me destroy Ethan Cole and I’ll give you everything you need to take him down.” I expected a cold contract marriage. What I didn’t expect… was the way he looked at me like I already belonged to him. “You’re under my protection now, Sophia,” he said calmly. “And I never let go of what’s mine.” Revenge was supposed to be simple. Love was never part of the plan. But falling for the Devil may be far more dangerous than the man who murdered me. Because Adrian Blackwood doesn’t play games. And once he chooses something he keeps it. Forever. In my first life, I died for love. In this life, I’ll make them all pay.
