He Carried Darkness. I Carried the Key.

Su Nian was born into the Su family and raised as an omen. From the moment she could speak, misfortune followed her steps. Financial losses, illnesses, broken engagements—each disaster was quietly, then openly, blamed on her existence. What the Su family never acknowledged was the truth: Su Nian could see black qi, a malignant residue born from human desire, resentment, and distorted fate. Where others saw coincidence, she saw cause. Feared and resented, Su Nian learned to live quietly. When she reached adulthood, the Su family cast her out under the guise of “cutting off bad luck,” severing ties without compensation or protection. To them, she was expendable. Her exile leads her to the Duan family, one of the most powerful elite families in the city—an empire built on influence, political alliances, and wealth so entrenched it appears untouchable. At its center is Duan Yichen, the Duan family’s heir. Duan Yichen was once known for his sharp judgment and absolute control. Three months ago, a carefully orchestrated car accident left him crippled, destabilizing the balance of power within and beyond the Duan family. Medical experts failed to find a cause or cure. What no one else can see is the truth: his injury is bound by cultivated black qi, deliberately planted to suppress his fate rather than end his life. When Su Nian is brought in as a last resort, she immediately recognizes the corruption entwined with Duan Yichen’s body. More disturbingly, the black qi reacts violently to her presence—drawn to her, threatened by her, and unwilling to release its hold. For the first time since the accident, Duan Yichen feels sensation return to his leg, and with it, the realization that his injury is not merely physical but part of a larger, hidden system. Duan Yichen is not a passive victim. As the heir of a powerful family, he understands intrigue and betrayal intimately. He recognizes Su Nian’s value instantly—not only as someone who can heal him, but as someone who exists outside the control of the elite families manipulating events behind the scenes. He offers her protection, resources, and a place within the Duan estate, not as charity, but as a strategic alliance. As Su Nian continues treating Duan Yichen, a bond forms between them—one built on shared danger, mutual dependence, and the gradual unraveling of trust. Their relationship is neither gentle nor simple. It is marked by guarded conversations, dry humor, reluctant cooperation, and moments of unexpected intimacy born from crisis rather than comfort. Meanwhile, the Su family realizes that the daughter they discarded has entered the Duan family’s inner circle. Regret turns to fear, and fear to hostility. To protect their reputation and survival, they attempt to reclaim or destroy her, unaware that Su Nian is no longer defenseless. Within the Duan family, Duan Yichen’s partial recovery ignites internal conflict. Allies test his weakness, enemies move in the shadows, and long-buried secrets surface. As black qi spreads beyond his body into the city itself, Su Nian begins to uncover a terrifying truth: black qi is not random misfortune, but a system—one cultivated and exploited by those who benefit from chaos and human suffering. Su Nian must confront her past, her family, and the true nature of her ability. Duan Yichen must reclaim not only his body, but his authority, while deciding how far he is willing to go to dismantle the forces that nearly destroyed him. Together, they stand at the intersection of power and curse, healing and control, love and calculation. Su Nian was never cursed. She was the countermeasure. And Duan Yichen may be the only man powerful enough to ensure she survives long enough to change the rules of their world.

Contract Marriage For An Heir

Isla Kim, head of marketing, is in a tight spot. Her mother’s medical bills are piling up, and one desperate night, she takes a temporary escort gig. The man she meets? Her CEO, Damien Frost. He’s precise, cold, and for the first time, intrigued. Seeing potential in her intelligence, discretion, and… compatibility, he offers her a contract: marry him, carry his heir, and the company will ensure her debts and family are taken care of. Isla knew it was a bad idea, but what could she do? Her mother's life was on the line. ------- Damien Frost has everything: wealth, power, a company that bends to his will… except for one thing. His family demands an heir, and no matter how many therapists he consults, nothing works. Until he sees her. One glance, one subtle move, and he’s intrigued in a way he can’t explain. But she’s his employee, and he is a CEO who doesn’t mix business with pleasure… or at least, that’s what he tells himself. One contract. One child. One rule: keep it professional. But every look, every interaction, draws them closer to a line neither of them thought they’d cross. Snippet: "Ms Kim this, Ms Kim that. You've never said my name before." "I'm trying to be professional. Something you clearly don't understand else you wouldn't be sitting here in this ridiculous outfit at a bar of all places." "Wow, professionalism." I rolled my eyes sarcastically. "You call leah by her name... why isn't that an issue." "That's..." "Different. I know. She's been your assitant for nearly a decade while I'm the girl you hired to give you babies." "You're more than just that to me, Ms-" He swallowed the last words but I heard them. A bitter laugh escaped my lips and raised my head, blinking away the tears that threatened to fall. "You won't even say it." I spoke in a low voice, scared of the words ready to be ripped out of my mouth, and the emotions they brought. "I know this is just a deal and I shouldn't expect more from you than you've given me... but can't I be selfish enough to ask for that one thing?" "I... I can't say it." "Yeah, no shit." I scoffed bitterly, standing up in my broken heels and messed up dress. I couldn’t be in his presence a second longer or I'd break. "I can't say it because I don't want our relationship to be more personal than it is." He yelled before I could leave. "Personal? Personal! I'm supposed to have your child Mr Frost, it doesn't get more personal than that." A beat of silence stretched and he released a heavy sigh, extendjng an arm toward me. "Let's just go home, we can talk about this later." "No." I shook my head violently, tears spilling from them. "I'll go home. You can go fuck yourself... and Leah while you're at it." Part of me wanted to turn back to see if he was chasing after me, or even contemplating doing it. But I couldn't face yet another rejection in the same night. I walked and walked until my feet felt heavy and by the time I reached my house, there was no one behind. "Of course, what did I expect?" To Damien Frost, I'm nothing but a tool.
