Investing in My Crippled Wife: Every Return Makes Me Stronger

Soren Valmere was branded worthless after he failed to awaken three years in a row, becoming nothing more than a family embarrassment with no future. Ethea Morvain was the legendary Ice Empress, but a catastrophic Gate incident left her paralyzed, and her world turned upside down. By a strange twist of fate, these two forsaken souls were forced into an arranged marriage, only to be abandoned by the very families who had made the bargain. But fate had other plans. On the very night of their arranged wedding, Soren awakened a power unlike anything the world had ever seen: the Investment Authority. It rewarded every sacrifice, every risk, and every act of care. And Ethea, the woman the world had given up on, became the center of it all. Risk his life to save hers? Get Supreme Grade returns. Help her cultivate again? Gain an equal amount of experience immediately. Cook and feed her? Become the world’s most skilled chef. But the more Soren learns, the more he begins to realize their marriage wasn't just a simple arrangement. There are secrets buried beneath it, forces moving in the shadows, and truths neither of them were ever meant to uncover. Will he be strong enough to protect her when the real enemy finally shows itself? Will Ethea manage to recover her powers? And what price will he have to pay for the greatest investment of all? _______ _____ _ Author's Note: Hey everyone! This is my first time writing in this genre, so please go easy on me.

[BL] The System Runs on Magic

༺❘✦ (18+) ✦❘༻ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn, the world's most famous hero, was the worst part of his job... What he didn't expect was the System deciding his online arguments counted as combat experience and dropping him into a magical apocalypse with Llewellyn himself! He also didn't expect the Internet to start shipping them! And he certainly didn't expect the System's idea of "combat partner" to involve an absurd amount of physical contact disguised as Healing Bonuses, shared body heat, Dungeon environments that look like dates, or being randomly teleported onto Llewellyn's lap! Llewellyn might be the strongest person on Earth, but he has no one to watch his back. Luckily for him, Ryo has had to deal with his unhinged online following for years… and he is more than willing to get his hands dirty in person. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ What you'll find: BL | Magic | System | 18+ - Night-shift comment moderator x Reclusive overpowered hero - Mutual "I'd die for him" energy - Protective ML whose love language is pinning him down - Slow burn that doesn't feel like slow burn - Only one bed - Competence kink - Mutual attraction - Banter as foreplay - Non-toxic yaoi that's still unhinged - Rope that ties itself (iykyk) - The System is a Shipper! - A penguin! - Accidental domesticity - Found family - Everybody ships them including Grandma - The strongest hero alive, possessive over one man - Spice level: MAX ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ Content Note: The rating goes up a lot as the story progresses!
