"Don't tell me you used it to stamp those papers?" He asked as intense fear filled his eyes as they stayed locked onto mine. And for the very first time in a while, I felt totally in control. "They say it is better to be safe than sorry. I knew this duel may never hold so I had a backup plan," I went on to say while relishing in his stunned facial expression. "Deborah, no…" he pleaded and I frowned in surprise. Was he begging me? "You just placed yourself in a difficult position by doing that." He said in serious concern. "I am well aware, Lauren, I am ready for anything," I said in an uncaring manner before breaking eye contact with him. "You will get killed," I heard him roughly say. "Why is that any of your concern?" I asked. "You are still my wife," he insisted and I felt his voice break in-between like he wanted to cry. "Not anymore and it is time you accepted that," I said with a lack of emotion. ~~~~ I spent my first life as a discarded "nobody," executed for a crime I didn’t commit after my husband, King Lauren, brought home a beautiful foreign maiden and declared her the new Queen. But death didn’t take me. It sent me back. I wake up on the exact morning of his triumphant return. The crowds are cheering, the flowers are blooming, and my husband is preparing to publicly humiliate me in front of the entire kingdom. He thinks I’m the same docile wife. He doesn't know I’ve returned with the memories of a timeline he destroyed—and the deadly secrets that make me the most dangerous woman in the room. Before he can introduce his "New Queen," I hand him the one thing no one in this kingdom has ever dared to ask for: Divorce papers. In our land, a Queen demanding a divorce is an abomination punishable by stoning. Lauren thinks I’m bluffing. He doesn't realize he has just trapped himself in a palace with a woman prepared to burn his entire kingdom to the ground just to see him sign his name. My goal is simple. He spent my first life making me cry—so in this one, I will make him fall... not in love, but to his knees.

It is said that when the moon first turned red, the first vampires were born. Many were ecstatic to worship the moon goddess, Luna, while others rejected the blessing. Due to their blasphemy, they were cursed to turn into Hellios - grotesque creatures with no control over their desires. Hundreds of years later, the war rages on. For Avaline Stark, a young human lady, the war has killed her father and ruined her family. As the middle child of five siblings, she strives to ensure her family doesn't end up on the street. A proposal could be the answer to all their problems, but leaving her family with a wealthy husband is the last thing she wants. A chance meeting with Lord Nightingale replaces her worries with a yearning to learn more about him. It's been ten years of war for the young vampire lord, Sebastian Nightingale. On the night of his return, a grand ball is held to welcome him home. Despite the festivities, the plight of soldiers and the screams of men aren't so easily forgotten. The last thing he expected was to be charmed by a human woman. Avaline's boldness and honesty are a breath of fresh air among the slyness and cunningness of vampire high society. As the two spend time together, their attraction grows, but not everyone approves of their budding relationship. It's a well-known fact that a relationship between a vampire and a human can be nothing more than a quick fling; it's not meant for long term. And yet, Ava wants something more, and she's not the only one, for Sebastian is eager to match her step. When dangers at home and abroad threatened to tear them apart, the two must decide if they're willing to risk duty for love.

Yao Zhi died in regret due to exhaustion and transmigrated into an unrecorded kingdom in history. Waking up to find herself in a body weighing more than 200 jin, she was in despair. As she was ready to curse Heaven, she found herself bound with a system. With an auction system on hand, she embarked on the journey of pampering her rough husband and building her business. -------- Cover art by Zackbill ( @bila_art24 on X )

In the stories she used to read, transmigrators woke in strong bodies with hidden powers and cheat-like memories. But when Mira opened her eyes, she found only weakness. A blind girl's blurred world. A heart that stuttered with every breath. A house too fine for someone her age to own, and neighbors who whispered of deliveries made at night. She remembers nothing of her old life—not her face, not even her name. All she knows is that this new life is already collapsing, and someone, somewhere, is paying for her survival. Yet behind the fragile skin and fading sight, something stirs. A beauty that makes strangers gasp. A nature that draws shadows to her door. A past that refuses to stay buried. And when the caretakers arrive—smiling, patient, too watchful by half—Mira begins to understand: she is not just another sick girl abandoned by her family. She is the key to a world on the brink of transformation, and the secrets locked in her blind eyes may be worth more than kingdoms. But for now, Mira must do the hardest thing of all—live long enough to discover who she truly is.

Who says a eunuch can’t fall in love? In the noble courts of Valemont, everyone seems to agree that he cannot. Theodore von Virchow is the duke’s second son. A decorated war hero. A man of quiet authority whose cold composure makes even seasoned nobles uneasy. And he is devastatingly handsome. Tall, broad-shouldered, and sinfully good-looking, Theodore looks like a man carved by the gods themselves. Many whisper that such beauty is a cruel waste on a eunuch. With a single declaration, Theodore placed himself beyond the expectations of marriage, heirs, and romantic pursuits. Society accepted it without question. The court pitied him. The women stopped pursuing him. And life quietly moved on. Everyone accepted the truth. Everyone… except Everetta Whitmore. For thirteen years, Everetta has loved exactly one man. While society calls her foolish and her parents attempt to marry her off to more suitable lords, she refuses every offer placed before her. Because Everetta Whitmore does not believe love should be so easily abandoned. And if Theodore von Virchow truly is a eunuch? Then she intends to find out exactly what a eunuch ‘can’ do. Everetta begins a relentless pursuit that shocks the entire court. From scandalous masquerade balls to suspiciously convenient accidents in gardens, libraries, and moonlit balconies, she repeatedly throws herself into Theodore’s path with reckless determination. She bumps into him. Provokes him. Tempts him. And every time he tries to escape her, she only chases harder. Until one evening, Theodore finally snaps. “You are chasing a man who cannot give you anything,” he says coldly. “Have you no dignity?” Everetta only smiles. “Dignity?” she says sweetly. “If I cared about dignity, I wouldn’t be in love with you.” But Theodore von Virchow is a man who keeps his distance from the world, guarding himself behind silence and restraint. Least of all does he want the stubborn woman who refuses to leave him alone anywhere near his carefully ordered life. Yet the more Everetta chases him, the more impossible it becomes for him to ignore her. Because chasing a man who insists he cannot love her might ruin her reputation… but Everetta has never been afraid of scandal. … A scandalous historical romance about obsession, forbidden desire, and the relentless woman determined to prove that even a eunuch cannot escape love forever.

Josselyn, the daughter of a traitor’s family, is summoned to the palace as the only one who knows the secret herbal remedy to cure the Queen’s illness. She is appointed as the royal healer’s assistant—and from that moment on, her life is forever changed. Crown Prince Killian, a cold and ruthless man, suddenly begins to take an interest in her. Every glance he gives stirs curiosity and envy among the four men around her: a loyal royal knight, a patient and attentive healer, and two noble brothers who each possess their own dangerous charm. They all know about Josselyn’s desire for revenge against the kingdom she believes is responsible for her parents’ deaths. And each of them has their own plans to use her. Five men. Five different ways of claiming her heart—awakening a turmoil she has never known before. But Josselyn cannot simply surrender to their allure. Her past wounds and burning resentment keep her wary of Killian, convinced that the prince played a role in her family’s tragedy. Caught between consuming passion, subtle manipulation, and a vengeance that refuses to fade, Josselyn must make a choice: to surrender to an unexpected love… or to fulfill the revenge left behind by her parents—even if it means turning her back on every man who desires her.

# The Male Lead Fell For Me By Accident **by Rosel_Queen** --- *She lived for everyone else. She died for no one.* Vivienne spent her entire life pouring herself empty — working herself to the bone so her ungrateful siblings, Rosalind and Caspian, could live in comfort they never earned. No rest. No dreams. No one to call her own. Then, at twenty-six, her body simply… gave out. She expected nothing after death. No heaven, no second chances — just silence. But a god named Valdris has other plans. Reborn as the daughter of a powerful noble house in a glittering medieval empire, Vivienne wakes up in a gilded cradle with chubby baby hands, a doting nanny named Cecile, and absolutely zero patience for starting over. This time, she has made herself one promise: *this life belongs to her.* No sacrificing. No giving until there is nothing left. No falling for anyone who doesn't deserve it. The only problem? Alaric — the coldest, most untouchable duke in the entire empire — seems to have not received that particular memo. He doesn't smile. He doesn't bend. He has never, in all his years, looked twice at anyone. Until her. *It wasn't supposed to happen.* *He wasn't supposed to notice her.* *And she was absolutely, certainly, definitely not supposed to feel anything about it.* But fate, as it turns out, has never once cared about her plans. --- **Tags:** #Transmigration #Reincarnation #MedievalFantasy #SlowBurn #ColdMaleLead #AngstyRomance #HappyEnding #NobleHeroine #SecondChanceAtLife

Excerpt... Henry’s hand shot out, closing around her arm, firmly enough that her breath caught. “Stay…” He stood beside her, close enough that she could feel him without touching him. “I…” Livia’s voice broke before it found strength. “I didn’t flee.” She still would not fully look at him. Her eyes remained on Bella. “This is not my fault,” she whispered. “No,” Henry said at once. “It isn’t.” He looked away, then back at her. “Do you love him, Livia?” “Please,” she cried. “Stop calling me that.” “Do you love him?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. “So soon after me?” he asked. “I thought we…” He stopped. “I assumed you…” “That I what?” Livia asked, her voice trembling. “That I loved you? Henry…” she began then she caught herself. “Your Highness. I did seek solace in your arms... Yes. I will not lie about that. I wanted you. I trusted you. In a sea of sharks and wolves, you were the safest thing I could find.” Her eyes filled again. “You made me feel as though I could breathe. Turns out, you are no better.” “Why?” Henry asked quietly. “Because I am the king?” “Because you lied to me. You let me trust a man who did not exist.” “I existed.” “Henry the merchant existed because you created him.” “For good reasons, I had to keep my identity hidden,” Henry said. “The king moving around London without security,” he continued, “what do you think would happen?” “You speak as though I was asking you to announce yourself in the middle of Cheapside with trumpets and a crown. It doesn’t matter anymore,” Livia said, looking away from him. “I am getting married.” “Yes,” Henry said, the word leaving him like a blade drawn from flesh. “To my best friend. Did you tell him?” Henry asked. Livia’s brows drew together. “Tell him what?” “That I fucked you. Did you tell him I was your first? Did you tell him you once trusted me? That you once promised yourself to me because you thought I was the safest thing in your miserable world?” “That is not fair.” “Then tell me is it fair that Richard gets to call you his intended while I stand here pretending I do not know the sound of your moan? Is it fair that he holds your hand while I cannot even say your name without ruining you?” “Please stop.” “Did you tell him,” Henry pressed, unable to stop himself now, “that you were mine before you were ever his?” “How could I?” she asked, the words breaking. “I did not even know who you were.” “Then let me ask you this,” he said, leaning down just a little, his lips a hair’s breath from hers. “Has he fucked you? Has he touched what is mine?” ..... Sold into slavery and trapped in the brutal underworld of London, Livia Valenti is placed on the auction block.

Conscripted at fifteen, Park Seongjin steps into a war already older than his fear. His father has fallen. His brother is missing. His name is carved into wood and sent toward the frontier. He is not a prodigy. He is not chosen. He is merely another boy placed inside iron and dust. War does not create heroes—it erodes them. Steel demands discipline. Loss demands endurance. Campaign after campaign, repetition after repetition, the body learns before the mind understands. On battlefields ruled by ironclad cavalry and endless formations, he survives—not through brilliance, but through restraint. Not through destiny, but through persistence. Yet in surviving, something begins to take shape. The sword ceases to be a weapon alone. It becomes a path. This is a slow-burning war and progression story about experience, discipline, and the forging of a swordsman—step by step, until the blade and the man are no longer separate. This is my first time sharing my work on a global platform. I truly look forward to your evaluation and feedback. I am particularly interested in how readers from different cultural backgrounds perceive the story. Thank you sincerely. Author Note: This story may soon be contracted with another platform, so it might be removed from webnobel.. If you're interested, please read it while it is still available. Thank you.

The soldier no one expected to live will become a master. At the edge of a collapsing frontier, a young soldier stands among men who are meant to die first. Wars are decided by generals and kings, but sometimes history remembers the blade of a single soldier.
