Investing in My Crippled Wife: Every Return Makes Me Stronger

Soren Valmere, unawakened and treated as family garbage, is forced into an arranged marriage with Ethea Morvain, the once-legendary Ice Empress now completely paralyzed after a catastrophic Gate incident. Both families exile them to a modest house in a working-class neighborhood, washing their hands of two "problems" they no longer want to deal with. But on their wedding night, Soren awakens a hidden power: the Investment Authority. Whatever he invests in Ethea—time, money, care, emotion—returns to him amplified by 10,000 times when she achieves breakthroughs. Buy her medicine with his last credits? Receive a hundred million in return. Spend sleepless nights helping her move a single finger? Gain decades of martial experience instantly. Risk his life to save hers? Unlock abilities that shatter the heavens. As he pours everything into the wife everyone abandoned, Ethea slowly transforms from a broken doll into something that surpasses even her legendary past. And Soren? The "worthless" unawakened trash becomes the most dangerous investor the world has ever seen. Their families wanted to forget them. The world dismissed them as failures. They're about to learn that the greatest returns come from investing in someone everyone else deemed worthless. "You threw us away. Now watch us rise." _______ _____ _ Author's Note: Hey everyone!

Finding Him (BxB+)

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

Douluo: Reborn as Death Spider Emperor

Nan Feng transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, and the moment he opened his eyes, he faced a hell-level start. He had become the hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor, the very soul beast destined to be hunted by Bibi Dong. And he was already in a critically injured, near-death state, able only to watch as that madwoman named Bibi Dong came straight for him! Run? The outside world was full of enemies—instant death upon escape. Fight? His health bar had only one point left—certain death. “Can’t beat her? Then join her!” “You want my hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone? No problem! I’ll sacrifice myself!” “But I have one condition: take me to godhood!” Bibi Dong thought she had gained an enormous advantage—not only obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul ring but also an extremely high-quality soul bone. However, just as she finished absorbing them and prepared to make great strides toward her ambitions, she discovered in horror: Her hand had a mind of its own. “This body is a bit fragile, but the feel isn’t bad.” “It’s just… this weight on the chest is hard to get used to.” Bibi Dong collapsed emotionally: “Didn’t you say you were inside the soul bone?! How can you control my body?!” Nan Feng replied: “Surprised? Unexpected? Our martial souls share the same origin. I put myself inside your martial soul!” From that day on, the style of the Spirit Hall’s Pope completely changed. In public, she remained the cold, noble, iron-blooded Pope. In private, she had to fight a shameless soul for control of her own body. Nan Feng: “Yu Xiaogang, that useless guy, is here? Don’t move, let me insult him!” Nan Feng: “Xue’er’s back? Come here, Mommy will hug you!” Bibi Dong: “…Get out of my body!!!” — Schedule: 12 Chapters/Week — For Early Access: [email protected]/Taichu372
