family

The kingdom of Orlos, one of the five great kingdoms of Arbooria, is located in the fertile plains north of the continent and is considered the breadbasket of the entire world. In a world where kingdoms constantly vie for power, a society focused on the pursuit of success has grown in disarray. In the Archduchy of Felnatus, the noble family conquered its territory through the actions of Mellorus Felnatus. However, this influential noble family harbors a secret: the existence of a Guideless, a person not blessed by the goddess Raianna.

“Please, let me touch you,” his voice breaks, pleading. I laugh, overwhelmed by the irony of the situation. Because the very man who persecuted me so much is now the one reduced to nothing before me. His hair is a mess, eyes baggy with dark circles that note the sleepless nights. Those eyes once only reflected hatred for me, but now they’re begging desperately. “Why won’t you just let me come to you? Why does that bastard have to be near you all he wants but I’m not given any moment to even smell you?!!” His rage is laced with pain, his voice filled with bitterness and evident fear. Fear of losing me. “Why?” I ask. My voice is low, but steady. “Why should I let the man who’s abused me for so long come anywhere near me? Why should I give the man who’s watched his family and everyone humiliate me every moment of my life a chance?” My eyes burn with rage, tears welling up as I think back to the countless torture I had to endure. “Tell me why I should come back to the man who’s questioned my dignity and let another woman take my place!!!” “No, Lei, no,” his voice shakes, quiet as though every word costs him. The sound of his voice is barely audible, like it is drowning in regrets too heavy to undo. He draws near, hands trembling with eyes wide with guilt and regret. “It’s all over now. Sign the divorce papers if you still have a bit of a conscience left inside.” His quivering face turns tight with anger. “Why? So you can run off to those good for nothing goons who leer lustfully at you?!” His voice lowers, but remain steady and stern. “I will never let you go, Lei. Never!” I smile. My defiant eyes alone telling all there is to know. Because for me, there is never going back to him. •••••••• Leiara Rhys, the sole heiress to the Rhys Development, has always faced life head-on with one motto: “If it isn’t death, how bad can it be?” When she’s forced into an arranged marriage with Colson Hayes, heir to a rival company, she braces herself like always, determined to bury the fear, the pain, the grief deep inside. But nothing prepares her for the cold hatred in her husband’s eyes. A hatred rooted in a grudge she doesn’t understand. As Colson quietly vows to ruin her, Leiara becomes a pawn trapped between two powerful families and impossible expectations. Abused and subjected to all sorts of violence by her husband, family and his lover, Leiara’s carefully guarded heart begins to fracture. After all, the human heart isn’t a diamond that cannot break, nor a barrel that cannot overflow. When Leiara discovers that she isn’t the main character in this marriage but merely the mistress, the world she built on pain begins to crack. Forced to coexist with the main character, the true focus of her husband’s affection, she must remain in the background as she always has. But just when she’s ready to stop hoping and let go, something utterly unexpected happens. The very man whose eyes once reflected only her mistakes and imperfections now holds a tenderness and longing she doesn’t know how to trust. A boundless love she cannot seem to fully explore. And for Leiara, the irony of it all is just too cruel, yet too breaking to ignore.

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?"

Disaster or Forever? The moment Heartfilia Dwight Mereles knew she would have to marry the man she despised and treated as her arch-nemesis, she felt intense rage build up inside her.

"Devil's Heart," a tragic romance novel that caught my [Eian Roger] attention, after a long time. If you ask what's so great about it, the only answer I can give is—the green-eyed guy, Eron De Vilan, my villain. I loved that guy so much I could call myself crazy. Seriously, who else would pray for a fictional character to have a happy ending? But that scum author, broke my all hope and gave him the worst fate. As I wandered the streets, heartbroken, I met my end while trying to save a stray cat. Really... even now, I can't believe I did such a stupid thing. It's so frustrating... But what's even more nerve-wracking is the fact that I transmigrated into the novel I cherished—only to end up as the antagonist who tortures my favorite character. The only relief I had was the timeline. It’s still too early for the original story to unfold. That meant there was still time. This time, the extra would seize control of the narrative. I will rewrite the story for my villain. No matter what happens… Eron De Vilan will have his happy ending.

A mysterious man with eyes as dark as night stood between her wrath and redemption. He was dangerous, untouchable... yet every step closer threatened to shatter the walls she had built. Could love bloom again in the heart of one reborn through hatred? Or would it burn away like everything else in her path? Her enemies would kneel. Her betrayers would weep. And the world would remember the name Bai Xia, the woman who rose from hell itself — the Crimson Lotus who bloomed in blood… and perhaps, once more, in love.

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer, an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general whose face haunted her every nightmare, the man who tore her world apart. But just as the final strike neared… the world shattered. She woke in a savage, ancient realm where kings ruled with iron fists and war devoured the innocent. Her body? That of a thirteen-year-old. Her fate? Sold to traffickers, bound for hell by a family member's design. Big mistake. They expected a victim. She gave them hell. Every brutal lesson, every violent instinct...she unleashed them all and carved her way to freedom. In the depths of that strange, dangerous world, she met a reclusive martial arts master, one whose power defied reason, whose teachings broke her and rebuilt her again.

He was a prince, the heir to a kingdom, but deprived of his birthright.  He was wounded on a secret mission to crush the rebels tearing his kingdom apart. To the prince, she was: A woman disguised as a man. A healer who knew the way of the sword. A mystery wrapped in secrets and shadows. The most intriguing enigma of his life. Will she be the weapon they made her—or the legend she was born to become?

Something felt off. The shadows and whispers—she was used to those. But now, they had changed. They had become something more. The eye in Hanra’s shadow was proof enough. The way the world darkened at random, another sign. And the whispers, clearer than ever, were a confirmation. I knew I was different. But I never wanted to be the object of affection of whatever this thing was. [Welcome to the Game] "Okay, well… this better be fun.

He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip.

This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

퀸 존스는 자비어 윌슨의 저택에서 일하는 하녀였고, 이미 매우 오랜 시간 동안 일해 왔다. 하지만 그녀는 단 한 번도 자신의 주인의 얼굴을 직접 본 적이 없었다. 그 이유는 간단하다. 자비어는 매우 먼 곳에서 임무를 수행하러 자주 떠나야 했기 때문이다. 그래서 그녀가 그를 거의 보지 못하는 것은 당연한 일이었다. 그래서 이 일로 인해 퀸은 오랫동안 자신의 주인에 대한 화려한 신분에 대해 끊임없이 호기심을 갖게 되었다. 왜냐하면 그녀는 자비어의 신분에 대해 사람들이 소문을 내고, 서로 전해 듣는 것만을 들을 수 있었기 때문이다. 그러던 어느 날, 그가 어떤 임무를 수행하던 중, 자신의 저택 근처인 모르홀로우 리치에 있었다. 그래서 그는 잠시 들러 휴식을 취하기로 했다. 수많은 고된 일을 처리하며 바쁘게 지낸 시간 끝에, 이곳에서 그는 퀸 존스라는 하녀와 처음으로 저택에서 만나게 되었다. 그리고 두 사람의 첫 만남 당시, 퀸은 겨우 열여섯 살에 불과했다. 그래서 그때 그녀의 아름다운 외모는 아직 완전히 드러나지 않았다. 그 때문에 그 시점에서 자비어는 그녀에게 별로 관심을 두지 않았다. 하지만 퀸에게는 반대였다. 자비어의 살기 어린 모습과 냉정하며 잔인한 성격을 보고도, 그녀는 전혀 두려워하지 않았다. 오히려 그녀는 그의 살기와 냉정함이 매우 매력적이고 벗어나기 어렵다고 느꼈다. 그래서 그녀는 자비어가 아무것도 신경 쓰지 않을 때마다 몰래 그를 바라보곤 했다. 그러나 그 후, 일주일도 채 지나지 않아 자비어는 급한 일을 처리하러 떠나야 했다. 그로 인해 퀸은 자비어가 사라져 상당히 허탈해했다. 오랜 시간 동안 그가 없었지만, 그리고 그로부터 2년 후, 그는 일이 끝난 후 언제나처럼 저택으로 다시 돌아와 휴식을 취했다. 그리고 그곳에서 그는 이미 18세가 된 퀸을 다시 만나게 되었다. 그때서야 그녀의 아름다운 외모가 완전히 드러났다. 이로 인해 자비어는 그때서야 그녀에게 관심을 가지기 시작했고, 항상 그녀를 차지하고 싶어 했다. 그래서 그 순간부터 퀸은 자비어를 두려워하기 시작했다. 그의 집착적인 소유욕 때문에, 그리고 어느 날... 그녀는 그의 변태적인 통제를 더 이상 견딜 수 없어 도망칠 수밖에 없었다. 이 일로 인해 그는 매우 화가 나서 온 세상을 뒤흔들며 그녀를 꼭 찾아내려고 했다
