Kieran Ashfeld was content being a minor lord's youngest son—managing grain stores, flirting with the blacksmith's daughter, avoiding his father's disappointment. Then the Crimson Church declared holy war against the "savage" orc tribes threatening the northern border, and every able-bodied man became expendable. Conscripted as a knight, Kieran expected glory and righteousness. Instead, he found burning villages that looked suspiciously well-stocked, orc children with their throats cut, and orders that tasted like poison. When he saves an injured orc warrior namedAsha from execution, she spits one question at him: "Why would we invade when your priests already stole our sacred lands three generations ago?" The truth detonates everything. The war is a fabrication—orchestrated by the Crimson Church to seize orc territory rich with star-iron, the metal that makes mages invincible. Kieran's own principality is the aggressor, framing defensive orc actions as unprovoked attacks. The "hero" leading the human forces is a fanatic burning evidence and witnesses alike. Now Kieran must choose: serve the lie and keep his family safe, or become the oathbreaker who exposes the conspiracy—knowing it will brand him traitor, destroy his house, and force him to fight the very soldiers he once called brothers. Some truths are worth dying for. This one might require him to live as a monster instead.

Cold, distant, and devastatingly handsome, Li Wei, the heir of Luminous Corporation, is a man everyone fears—unreachable, unreadable, untouchable but after an accidental encounter and a disastrous interview, Shen Yuqi, an ordinary girl with extraordinary resilience, unexpectedly becomes his personal assistant. And from that day on, her peaceful life is over. “CEO Li, I messed up a document… do you want to fire me?” “Fix it. Then come report to me… personally.” “CEO Li, someone in the office bullied me—” “Who touched what’s mine?” “CEO Li, I’m not feeling well today…” “Then sit here. I’ll handle everything.” Everyone in the city knows Li Wei has a heart carved from ice but Shen Yuqi soon learns she might be the only warmth he allows near him. When secrets from his past surface, rivals appear, and power struggles intensify, Shen Yuqi finds herself trapped between ambition, danger, and a man who claims not to care… yet pulls her closer every time. A cold CEO who pretends not to remember. A stubborn assistant who refuses to fall in love. A fate that ties them tighter with every breath. And in the end— “Li Wei… what exactly am I to you?” He traps her against the desk, eyes darkening. “Mine.”

Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.

Author's Disclaimer: This story is loosely inspired by the initial premise of Strange Potter, a work I greatly admire and that served as a creative spark for developing this project. Although the plot, character development, and events are entirely original and distinct, I believe it's only fair to acknowledge that initial influence. Likewise, this is a non-profit fanfic that blends elements from the Marvel and Harry Potter universes, whose rights belong to their respective creators and owners (Marvel/Disney and J.K. Rowling). This work is made with respect and with the intention of paying tribute to these worlds that so many of us have enjoyed. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com
