Ruinous Love

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● The heavy thud of the bridegroom’s footsteps echoed against the polished floorboards of the veranda. The pungent, sharp scent of wine mingled with the cold night air. Dazed and unsteady, he flung open the carved double doors with the reckless haste of a drunkard and stumbled inside. Hàn Yuè (汉月) sat on the edge of the bed, silent and with her head bowed. Her thin, white nightdress stood out in stark contrast to the darkness of the room, which was illuminated only by the flickering candlelight. Her chest rose and fell rapidly with every breath; she knew this union was no marriage, but a blood pact between two powerful clans. The groom cast a heavy, bleary-eyed gaze over her. He slammed the door shut and leaned against it. Hàn Yuè looked up, her eyes brimming with unshed tears. A cruel sneer played on the man’s lips as he rasped: "I still find it hard to believe that the unattainable daughter of the Lán (嵐) clan has fallen into my hands like this. Well... such was your fate; you had better get used to it. From now on, we are husband and wife, and we have got a long, exciting night ahead of us!" Without a word, Hàn Yuè rose. With a sorrowful expression, her trembling hands reached for the ties of her robe; the soft silk slipped from her shoulders and pooled onto the floor. The groom, his eyes glinting with arrogance, reached to untie his sash when, suddenly… The silence that had engulfed the room was shattered by the horrific sound of splintering wood. The broad blade of a sword pierced through the wooden door with unrestrained violence, passing straight through the groom's spine. The bloodied tip of the blade protruded from his abdomen, stopping directly in front of Hàn Yuè’s terrified eyes. Pinned to the door, the groom’s eyes bulged from their sockets as his body convulsed. A stifled, rattling sound emanated from his throat. Hàn Yuè covered her mouth with trembling hands and staggered back in horror. A moment later, the shadow behind the door pulled the sword out with a swift, ruthless motion. A fountain of blood sprayed from the groom’s mouth, splattering the floorboards and staining the girl’s white skirt. The man’s knees gave way, and he collapsed face-first onto the ground. Hàn Yuè’s long, piercing scream echoed through the cold air of the chamber, whilst dark red droplets of blood had left their mark upon the white silk of her gown. **ABSTRACT** Prince Hēiláng (黑狼), desperately enamoured with the noblewoman Hàn Yuè, finds his path to union thwarted by formidable political constraints. In his quest to claim her, he strikes a perilous bargain—a choice that irrevocably alters the course of their lives and unleashes consequences far more brutal than he had ever conceived.

The Ruthless Conqueror

Sidharth, an ordinary modern-day boy, dies in an accident—only to awaken in a world ruled by steel and blood. He opens his eyes in the body of a disgraced prince of a war-torn empire. Once heir to the throne, he has been stripped of his title through court conspiracies and exiled to a remote, impoverished barony at the empire’s edge. Surrounded by hostile nobles, foreign raiders, and an empty treasury, his fate seems sealed. But Sidharth carries something no one in this medieval world understands— A mysterious Daily Login System. Each day it grants him rewards: military treatises centuries ahead of their time, elite warriors, rare resources, siege blueprints, agricultural reforms, and strategic knowledge that reshapes his territory from the ground up. With a modern mind and system-backed advantages, he transforms his dying barony into an iron fortress. Yet Sidharth is not a naive hero. When he defeats neighboring lords, he does not simply annex their lands—he binds their bloodlines. Defeated nobles are forced into political marriages with his loyalists, their heirs raised under his watch, their daughters wed into his expanding dynasty. Alliances are no longer negotiated—they are imposed. Loyalty is no longer sworn—it is engineered. Rebellion becomes impossible when your family carries his name. Castle by castle, province by province, his banner rises again across the empire. The same court that exiled him now trembles as he marches toward the capital—not as a prince seeking restoration, but as a conqueror claiming inevitability. He seizes the imperial throne. But he does not stop. As neighboring empires witness the rise of a ruler who blends modern intellect with medieval ruthlessness, coalitions form to crush him. Kings unite. Holy orders declare him a threat to divine balance. Spies flood his lands. They all learn the same truth— Sidharth does not wage war for survival. He wages war for dominion. And this time, the continent itself will bow.

I Became the Eye Candy: Four Bigshots Claimed to be My Dad?

Ye Qianning becomes a six-year-old little dumpling. Not only does she possess dual-system special abilities, she also has four fathers. “Daddy!” The little dumpling cries tearfully, leaving the four prominent, dashing figures of the imperial capital utterly flustered. The Scholar-Official Daddy: “Little girl, you can't just claim anyone as your father. Hurry up and go back where you came from.” The Foxy Daddy: “If I had a daughter, she would surely be the greatest beauty in the world. How could she be as chubby as a ball!” The Businessman Daddy: “The Gu family hasn't produced a daughter for three generations. How could she possibly be a child of my Gu family?” The General Daddy, however, is excited: “Hahaha, I was fated to have no children, and heaven suddenly gave me a little meat bun. Come on, daughter, let's go home with Daddy!” A little girl suddenly appears in the General's residence, causing several influential figures of the capital to lurk by the wall every day. Eventually, they just stop leaving, all declaring that they will only leave when their own daughter comes home with them. The General Daddy roars angrily: “Why didn't you acknowledge her back then? Now, if anyone dares to snatch my daughter from me, I'll fight them to the death.” Beside them, a prim and proper little boy mutters under his breath with his hands behind his back: “When she grows up, she is going to marry me and be my wife.” Hearing this, the four prominent fathers' eyes blaze with fire, looking extremely dangerous. The little dumpling watches the drama that unfolds daily and facepalms in resignation: “She just wants to cultivate her spatial dimension to live a long life... Matters of love and romance, stay away.”
