Trapped by the Prince

Crown Prince Ian Stromridge has just returned from battle, hailed as a hero, greeted with people's adoration and blessings but he brings home a beautiful woman, though he's already married leaving everybody completed nonplussed. His wife, Princess Angelica Stromridge wed him for convenience before he left for war. Their marriage lacked affection and was rife with misunderstandings from the start. From name-calling to accidental letters leading to further misconception. During his absence, Angelica played the dutiful wife, sacrificing to maintain the household, being the lovely princess and wonderful daughter in law, only to face his return with another woman whom the entire kingdom agreed was more beautiful than she was! Will she divorce or fight for his love, a love that clearly never existed in the first place? Will she clear the misunderstandings and surmount the obstacles or will it be a post-marriage love story or an ex-wife tale full of regret? Excerpt |||| "My princess..." called a maid, knocking on the door her hand trembling. "Come in." replied Angelica as the door opened hearing footsteps approaching. "What are you doing here? I gave stern orders for no one to disturb me for the entirety of the day." her austere voice rang out. "I... I know my princess... please forgive me... I... I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow. There is no rush, I am sure he is swarmed by crowds at the moment." replied Angelica lazily, she really had no intention of moving from this spot. "But my princess... ther— " "Oh, you're right, it would be unacceptable if I did not come out to greet him, rumours would certainly ensue and the kingdom would be in serious hysteria as they always are." replied Angelica annoyed. "Yes, you are right, I should go and welcome him back home." said Angelica as she stood up and yawned. "My princess... that is not all, there is something else..." said the maid. "And what is that?" asked Angelica as the maid's eyes darted around the room, she did not know what to do, or how best to put this. "My princess... the... the crowned prince has truly returned but..." said the maid with a prolonged pause. "But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now!" said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she is his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||

BLACK SECRET HIGH SCHOOL

BLACK SECRET HIGH SCHOOL: The Culling of Lee Jin-Woo Lee Jin-Woo thought his problem was just his girlfriend, Kim So-Yun. Their relationship, defined by frequent, petty arguments, finally shattered on the school rooftop. So-Yun, an ambitious 'A-Level' student, demanded he "fight" for his place, for her, and for himself. Jin-Woo, exhausted by the relentless competition and pressure, could only reply, "I just exist." Her final words—"I can’t do this anymore. I’m done. I’m transferring"—were the last straw. Consumed by guilt and despair over his passivity, Jin-Woo attempted suicide, leaving him hospitalized and the school scrambling to bury the incident under a convenient lie: "An accident." The truth, however, was far darker than a simple breakup. The Black Secret and the Substitute One month later, the superficial calm of the school is violently disrupted by the arrival of a new transfer student: Lee Jin-Wee. She is not only chillingly composed and analytical, but her name is an almost perfect echo of the boy lying broken in the hospital. Jin-Wee, possessing an unsettling confidence and high-tech tools, knows the school’s whispered code: "The Black Secret." This "secret" is the school’s true, terrifying reality: a hidden, brutal Social Grading War dictated by an online Database. Students are classified from untouchable 'A-Level' tyrants to humanly-invisible 'C-Level' outcasts. Jin-Woo's struggle wasn't with So-Yun, but with the system itself, a system he refused to obey when he protected a bullied 'C-Level' student. Jin-Wee immediately singles out Park Min-Ho, Jin-Woo’s best friend and secret keeper, leveraging his fear and guilt to force him into partnership. She is not seeking justice; she is seeking revenge and dismantling. "I am here to continue Lee Jin-Woo's story," she declares. The Descent into the Server Room Their first objective: expose the system by infiltrating the main server room, the heart of the Black Secret. After Min-Ho manages a tense, chaotic distraction to acquire the access code, they break into the school late at night. But the A-Level Leader, Kang Se-Joon—the true architect of Jin-Woo’s suffering—is steps ahead. He confronts them, revealing the file they are attempting to download is a mere decoy, a trap set to log their names into the system. Se-Joon, cold and arrogant, promises Jin-Wee the same fate as Jin-Woo. Though they are forced to flee after Jin-Wee strategically sabotages the server’s physical cooling unit, their escape confirms the terrifying stakes. Now, with their names logged, Jin-Wee realizes their fight is misdirected. The true enemy is not the A-Level Leader, but the invisible Faculty and Board who allow the Black Secret to flourish. Jin-Wee and Min-Ho have 4 days to expose the true masters of the Black Secret High School before they are crushed by the very system that broke Lee Jin-Woo. The game is no longer about winning; it's about survival and the painful, explosive revelation of the truth.

Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off

Su Qinglan sat cross-legged on the grass, holding the chubbiest tiger cub she’d ever seen. “Aww… Look at you,” she whispered, booping its tiny nose. “So cute I could eat you up...” A sudden shadow loomed over her. “What’s so good about this stinky cub?” a deep, amused voice asked. She blinked up… and froze. Towering above her was a tall tiger beast man, his golden eyes narrowed in a lazy, predatory smile. “Let’s have ours,” he said. Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited. … Ours? OURS?! Before she could process, in the next moment she was hoisted up onto his broad shoulder like a sack of grain and carried straight toward the cave. Su Qinglan was so choked by the suddenness of it all… she forgot to even complain. *** Su Qinglan’s knees knocked together as she stared up at the enormous serpent. Its cold, red eyes narrowed, the flick of its tongue tasting the air between them. “D-Don’t eat me,” she stammered, hugging herself. “I...I’m not tasty… really, I’m stringy and full of… uh… bad cholesterol.” The snake’s head lowered until it was mere inches from her face. Her fox ears twitched wildly. And then, before she could blink...its massive body shimmered, scales turning into bronzed skin and lean muscle. Standing before her was a man so breathtakingly handsome that Su Qinglan’s poor fox eyes watered just looking at him. Su Qinglan swallowed hard, her tail fluffing up in panic. “I… I…” Her voice cracked. Okay, new problem… the snake is hot. She squeezed her eyes shut. “If you… if you really want…” She blurted, her face burning, “…y-you can… take me.” *** One moment Su Qinglan was fighting with the zombie king with all her might. Boom! The next, she woke up in a bizarre beast world… inside the body of a lazy, pampered, fat local tyrant everyone hated. The “original” Su Qinglan had been an arrogant, scheming villainess who spent her days bullying weaker beast women, chasing after handsome males, and terrorizing the tribe kids. Now, thanks to fate’s twisted sense of humor, Qinglan had inherited the body and the bad reputation. But honestly? Being fat in a beast world was still better than starving in the apocalypse. At least here, she could eat. The only problem? In this world, men weren’t just men, they were beastmen. Tall, strong, dangerous… And apparently, every beast woman was expected to have several husbands. The catch? The “original” Qinglan’s antics had scared away every decent male within a ten-mile radius. Armed with her apocalyptic survival instincts, a sharp tongue, and a mysterious system that suddenly activated... "Binding with host…" "Congratulations, host, for successfully arriving in the beast world." Qinglan decided she wasn’t going to cry about fate. If she had to live here, then she’d live big, literally.
