Polymer & Steel: The Engineer’s Kingdom

Waking up in a stranger's bed with arsenic in his gut and a terrified maid in his arms wasn't in the project specs. For a forty-year-old structural engineer from Earth, becoming Prince Valian is a logistical nightmare. The court wants him dead, his family is a nest of vipers, and his only ally is the woman framed to kill him. But where others see a death sentence, Valian sees a renovation project. Realizing the capital is a lost cause, Valian plays a desperate gambit: he trades his claim to the throne for the frozen, barbarian-infested Northern Borderlands. To survive the winter and the war, he needs a team. But he doesn't want polished knights or court ladies. He wants the outcasts. The broken. The discarded components of society that only he knows how to fix. As he rebuilds the North with steel and science, he builds a circle of women who find their salvation in his bed and his blueprint: Lena, The Devoted: The maid who woke up expecting execution. Valian didn't just save her life; he gave her agency. Now, she manages his castle and his secrets with a terrifying loyalty, ensuring that while the Prince works, his every physical need is met. Princess Elara, The Fortress: A political bride mocked by the world for her size and weight. While other men looked away in disgust, Valian looked closer and saw a masterpiece of biomechanics. He is the only man to touch her with reverence, and in return, the "Heavy Princess" becomes his silent shadow, using her mass and stealth to crush anyone who threatens her husband. Tessa, The Dynamo: A blacksmith’s slave deemed useless for her weak magic. Valian recognizes that her "magnetic twitches" are actually the key to electricity. He gives her a laboratory, a purpose, and the affection she was starved of. In his hands, she isn't a failure; she is the engine that will power a new age. In the frozen North, Valian isn't just building a kingdom; he’s building a family. And for the women who the world threw away, there is nothing they won't do for the man who polished them into diamonds. They are his tools, his lovers, and his weapons. And together, they will break the world.

Reborn To Be The Imperial Consort [BL]

[The Imperial Consort could have been so much more than what we were shown.] --- Genius Neurosurgeon Lǐ Xīnyuàn died while being held at the gunpoint to perform a surgery on a terrorist leader. When he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated into a world similar to a Webnovel he'd been forced to read by a colleague. Now you'd think Lǐ Xīnyuàn had transmigrated into that Webnovel. But did he? No! Instead he'd been transmigrated into that webnovel's spin-off/"what-if" version of the story with nothing but the superficial knowledge of the plot thanks to reading the main novel. Now tasked with the mission of avoiding plotholes, unnecessary dog-blood, death and following the storyline to ensure the male lead's ascension to the throne of Supreme Emperor, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. And why did no one tell him that his character had to be married into the Male Lead's harem?? What about the Female Lead? Later: Lǐ Xīnyuàn: Why doesn't Your Highness spend the night with Concubine Namgung? ML: Don't want to. Lǐ Xīnyuàn: ... Why? ML: Are you pushing me away? Lǐ Xīnyuàn: QAQ --- Transmigrated (sometimes) Loud Mouthed MC x Indulgent (Enabler) ML, Slightly Pyromaniac Fox Spirit x CEO of unconditional love Dragon Spirit, Morally Questionable DILF Cultivator x Reincarnated Fox Spirit with very low self-esteem. CW: Deaths, PTSD, Blood, Explicit Smut, and so many more. This novel is as much of a journey of healing, self-forgiveness, pain, misery, grief, death, and depression etc, as it is a story of friendship, unconditional love. Self-exploration and dark themes go hand in hand with light ones. It is as much of a waltz as it is a discordant symphony of a past that haunts almost all characters. I hope you will give my cuties a chance. Oh, right, the synopsis may be a wee-bit misleading—quite light-hearted.

The Sandalbar Experiment

"History says nations are built on speeches and slogans. History is wrong." "Nations are built on plumbing, supply chains, and systems." Bilal, a cynical game developer from 2024, knows exactly how the “game” of British India ends—with the fire and blood of 1947. When he wakes up inside the mind of Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Father of The Nation) in 1930, he realizes that following the historical script is a death sentence for millions. The Quaid-e-Azam (Father of The Nation) of the textbooks—the distant, immaculate lawyer—needs a patch. Forming an unlikely partnership, the modern systems thinker and the Edwardian barrister abandon the politics of London and Delhi. Instead, they retreat to the forgotten backwaters of Montgomery to attempt something dangerous: Project Sandalbar. Their goal is not rebellion—but construction. To build a functioning prototype state inside the belly of the British Empire. Armed with modern knowledge of logistics, communication networks, and resource management—wielded through Jinnah’s razor-sharp legal mind—they begin engineering a sanctuary against the coming storm. The Mission: Turn a dust-bowl estate into a self-sustaining fortress. The Tools: Sanitation protocols, radio networks, cooperative economics, and a militia disguised as farm guards. The Obstacles: Feudal lords, imperial suspicion, religious extremism, and the ticking clock of history. They are not fighting for independence. They are building a lifeboat. Can a game developer and a lawyer “mod” the operating system of the Raj before the server crashes?
