family

In the heart of the vast and gleaming Eirhardt Empire, where bloodlines dictate power and magic shapes destiny, a nameless child is left at the gates of an orphanage on a quiet night. Born into silence, raised in shadows, Elarion does not cry. He does not demand. He simply watches, listens, and endures. But the empire watches too. When a mysterious noble cloaked in imperial black kneels before him, everything shifts. Elarion—only two years old—is chosen. Not for his power. Not for prophecy. Just... for being seen. “In the arms of the Empire” follows the slow, intimate unfolding of a child who was never taught how to be held. Told from Elarion’s perspective as he grows from invisible orphan to the Imperial Heir, the novel traces a path not of war or prophecy, but of soft glances, untied ribbons, whispered names, and rooms that finally feel like home. It is a story of found family, silent resilience, and the aching, beautiful weight of being loved without needing to earn it.

When I first came into the book, my goal was just to survive as a doomed character. So I worked hard. I stayed out of trouble. I smiled when needed. I was ready to walk my own golden path. But then- "Wherever you go, I'll follow. If you try to leave me...I won't allow it." That's what the side character, who was supposed to die, whispered as he clung to me like a lifeline. His eyes were disturbingly sincere. "I can't stand without you. Got it?" And that was only the beginning. "I'll kill anyone who disrespects you again." My older brother, the male lead, said that with a gaze far too sharp to be comforting. "You're one of my people. No one will dare lay a hand on you." That came from my sister-in-law, the heroine herself, as she patted my head like I was a treasured pet. "I'm looking forward to dining with you, son." That was from my mother. The same mother known as the empire's coldest, most terrifying woman. But the real problem? My father smiled at me, amused, and then said. "Independence? Go ahead. Try it. Just know that if you leave, I won't let a single ant survive on this land." They're all acting wrong. Too wrong. This wasn't in the book. I swear, I only did my best...!

When Emily, a terminal cancer patient, took her final breath, she never expected to open her eyes again—especially not as a 7-year-old princess with soft, chubby cheeks and sparkling green eyes. Now living as Princess Evelisse of the grand kingdom of Florabelle, she finds herself surrounded by seven doting older brothers, each more protective than the last, and a kingdom that adores her every smile. But as she adjusts to her new life of frilly dresses, endless pampering, and royal feasts, a cute, chibi-like Fluff System suddenly appears, promising her a life of comfort if she completes weekly “Fluffy Tasks.” Tasks like: ✨ “Give your brothers a sweet, tearful smile (Reward: Extra pampering for the day!)” ✨ “Convince the grumpy Duke to carry you on his shoulders (Reward: Instant Kingdom-Wide Adoration Boost!)” ✨ “Unite two rival knights through a shared ‘baby sister protection squad’ meeting (Reward: Secret Passage Map to the Royal Kitchens)” However, hidden among the fluffy missions and sweet family moments lies a deeper purpose—uniting the fractured kingdom of Florabelle. To succeed, Evelisse must bring together not just her brothers, but also the cunning villains, misunderstood nobles, and even the eccentric court magicians, using the most powerful weapon in her tiny arsenal: OVERWHELMING CUTENESS and SMARTS. With her Fluff System guiding her and a heart determined to bring warmth to every corner of the kingdom, Evelisse sets out to become not just a pampered princess, but the heart and soul of Florabelle. After all, who knew that the key to uniting a kingdom could be as simple as a pouty lip, teary eyes, and a warm hug?

Octa was a boy without grand ambitions. Throughout his life, he had moved forward only by chasing someone else’s dream. He once believed that he would feel truly alive once he fulfilled his mentor’s ambition, but he was terribly wrong. When he found a book in an old warehouse, the boy did not expect it to affect him as he read the pages that contained the thoughts of a person who was born long before he was, perhaps even before Chironex, the place where he was raised, was created. The boy gave the figure the name Mr. Camellia, which came from a hand-painted Camellia flower on the cover.  It was because of the book that he realized that he could have his own dreams and ambitions, it was because of the book that the young man was driven to leave the place where he grew up and descend to the original land that had human history before civilization existed.  But he did not expect that the ground he stepped on would be white, and the wind he felt on his skin would be chilled to the bone.  Octa had no idea that the land he encountered when he descended from the sky was a frozen land. at least the young man was not alone.

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
