One Empire fallen. Five Kings rising. One Prince to unite them all. For generations, the Hurbala Empire was the golden heart of the world, a bastion of peace held together by the wisdom of King Hudal. But in a single night of fire and betrayal, the sun sets on the old world. King Hudal is slain, the legendary Queen Hasha is spirited away in chains to the distant Sunspire Fortress, and the crown—the symbol of absolute unity—is shattered into five jagged shards. Into the smoking ruins steps Basyar, a prince crowned too soon, inheriting nothing but a broken throne and a kingdom surrounded by wolves. As the empire splinters into rival realms, Basyar must embark on a desperate odyssey across a world transformed by war: The Shadowhold Forests: Where he must outwit King Zin Baraji in a deadly game of guerrilla ambushes and jungle duels. The Zuelda Marshes: Where the "Chem-King" Vectlar unleashes poisoned rivers and terrifying siege engines, testing Basyar’s endurance to the breaking point. The Asvalte Mountains: Where he must lead his people against armored war elephants in narrow, frozen passes. The Yilmaz Coast: Where the final trial awaits—a naval war against the "Eastern Tide" to reclaim his mother and his heritage. Basyar does not march alone. At his side stand the Ten Pillars of the Crown—an ensemble of legendary specialists, from the silent clawed assassin Faradee to the iron-willed shield-bearer Hujeena. Together, they must prove that wars are won not just by the edge of a blade, but through the brilliance of strategy, the weight of diplomacy, and the unbreakable bonds of loyalty. In a world where betrayal is the only currency and every ally hides a dagger, Basyar must learn what it truly means to lead. To save his mother and avenge his father, he must do the impossible: convince his enemies to follow him. The journey leads to Broken Crown Hill, where the blood of five nations will decide the future. Will the crown be ground into dust, or will Basyar reforge it into something stronger than it ever was before?

In her previous life, Bethany was a top-tier survivor in an apocalyptic world where clean water and food was rarer than diamonds and betrayal came quicker than bullets. Ruthless, smart, and fiercely adaptive, she rose to become the leader of The Red Dawn Alliance, a powerful syndicate of Awakened ability users. But just when she thought she'd secured peace for her people, her most trusted aide and the only friend she dared to have stabbed her in the back in exchange for power. Literally. Now, Bethany wakes up… not dead, not in the apocalypse but inside a historical Chinese novel called Crimson Blossoms Under Heaven, a dark revenge drama she had once binge-read for the plot (and the hot male lead). She’s not the heroine. Nope. Instead, she had become Lan Yue, a lowly handmaiden doomed to die after betraying her mistress, the novel’s brilliant heroine. A cannon fodder side character destined to be nothing more than a footnote. But Lan Yue had no intention of playing her role. Why fight for someone else’s glory? Why throw herself into dog-blood drama filled with betrayal, revenge, and endless schemes? All she wanted was simple: Eat good food. Sleep as much as she wanted. Live quietly, far away from the chaos. Unfortunately… the heroine had other ideas. At first, her smiles were sweet, her words dripping with warmth. But the more time passed, the more Lan Yue noticed something was wrong. The heroine’s touches lingered too long. Her gaze burned hotter than it should. And instead of chasing the male lead, she clung closer and closer to her. “Lan Yue,” the heroine’s lips curled in a chilling smile, “Where do you think you’re going? You’re mine.” Lan Yue: “...” Wait. Weren’t you supposed to love the hero?! Please also check out my other books Why Is Every Male Lead Obsessed With Me?!
