“You’re under me,” Raymond said coldly. “And whether you accept it or not, Candy Chucks—you’re mine now.” He said her full name slowly, deliberately. Candy’s heart slammed against her ribs as his gaze dropped to her lips, dark and unreadable. His hand came to the back of her head, fingers tightening—not to kiss her, but to remind her who held the power. “I’m nobody’s property,” she snapped, jerking away. “Not yours. Not anyone’s.” His lips curved into a dangerous smile. “We’ll see.” ____________ Candy Chucks’ life ends the day her father sells her to a ruthless mafia lord to settle a deadly debt. Raymond Monster is cold, feared, and unforgiving—and once he claims something, he never lets go. Trapped in his world of violence and power, Candy fights to keep her freedom… until she uncovers a devastating truth about her past—one that proves her entire life was built on lies. Was she ever meant to be free… or was she always his?

“This is a xianxia work written by a Việt Nam author.” Title: The Law of Kings. Author: Thường Tầm. The story is set in the era of Dharma Transition within the cultivation world. By that time, cultivators no longer practiced Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment as before, but had completely shifted to an entirely new cultivation system. Entering the Dao, Heart Manifestation, Heaven and Man, Spirit Dao, Domain Dao… A realm where every breath and every heartbeat could become an opportunity for breakthrough. That is not all. A man from another world appeared and rose to become the Immortal Emperor. Later, after he vanished without a trace, the culture of that other world began to descend and spread throughout the cultivation realm. Every household came to know of mobile phones, refrigerators, and items that did not originally belong to this world. Even the sarcasm and catchphrases of that other world gradually began to influence the way people thought. Just when the situation seemed peaceful, a great war erupted among the Thirty Six Kings. They were the chosen ones, competing for the still vacant throne of the Immortal Emperor. So in this era of Dharma Transition, what connection truly binds together the disappearance of the Immortal Emperor and the War of Kings?

After her execution as the Empire's "Cruel Rose," overworked banker Sarah awakens one year pre-death—with a Gacha System and a hunger for payback. Her old life? A rotten portfolio sunk on a prince who despised her. Now as Seraphina Rosewood, she flips the script: summoning SSS-rank legends via blood rituals to forge an unstoppable monopoly. A Cursed Paladin tanks the hits. A Shadow Archmage pulls strings from the dark. A Corrupted Priest twists faith. A gender-flipped Beast-Vampire Queen unleashes primal fury. And a Fallen Hero? Pure redemption arbitrage. As holy weapons and divine assassins close in, Seraphina plays the battlefield like a trading floor—rigging optics, weaponizing pawns, and shorting the Emperor's soul itself. Love's a bad bet; a loyal harem of monstrous elites? Infinite returns as the Empress of Eternal Night.

[Completed] - I'm planning to write more extra chapters for this novel. [Rewrite done] === Su Min transmigrated into the game world of "Path of Immortality" right after creating her character. Now she's a fallen noblewoman whose clan was executed as scapegoats for a certain prince's rebellion. At just fourteen years old, she's become the target of a powerful being that wants her body. With the Emperor also wanting her dead, she's being hunted by the entire empire. A fugitive and utterly alone, how will she survive in this increasingly dangerous world? (Note: I'm currently refining the translation to smooth out the prose. If you spot small changes during a re-read, that's why! The story itself remains the same.)

They whisper that Roselyn Sinclair is a devil in disguise—and perhaps she is. But the world broke her long before she learned how to break others. Wronged, discarded, and stripped of innocence, Roselyn grows into a woman who no longer believes in fairness or mercy. With a beauty as haunting as dying roses and a heart eclipsed by resentment, she turns manipulation into an art. Targeting cruel and corrupt men, she lures them with softness and false devotion, unraveling their lives piece by piece. To Roselyn, deception is not sin—it is survival. Then she meets Sebastian Vale. Sebastian is dangerous in a way she did not anticipate. A man wrapped in quiet authority and buried sins, he is no hero, yet not entirely the villain she expects. Behind his controlled gaze and measured words lies a past steeped in darkness—one he neither denies nor seeks forgiveness for. He was meant to be just another target. But lies have consequences. As Roselyn’s carefully constructed game begins to crumble, the line between manipulation and desire blurs. What starts as a calculated deception becomes a slow, devastating fall into love—one that threatens to expose her true self and awaken a heart she thought long dead. In Sebastian, she finds not salvation, but recognition: a mirror of her own moral ruin. Caught between revenge and vulnerability, Roselyn must face the most painful truth of all—falling in love with a monster is easy, but discovering that she may be one too is far more terrifying. The Scent of Dying Roses: Eclipsed Heart is a dark romance of seduction, betrayal, and fragile redemption, where love blooms in decay and every heartbeat carries the scent of inevitable ruin.

Ethan Cole had never been late for anything in his life. Yet here he was, jogging down the sleek white hallway of Hart Global, tie crooked, breath uneven, rehearsing his answers for the secretary interview he had been preparing for months. The moment he saw the restroom sign, he acted on instinct, pushing the door open without a second thought. The moment he stepped inside, his stomach dropped. She was there. Olivia Hart. CEO. Legendary, untouchable, ice-cold, untamed. Her black heels clicked softly against the marble floor, her skirt clinging to curves that were impossible not to notice. Her blouse, slightly damp at the collar from the sink, revealed just a hint of delicate skin—enough to steal his breath but not so much to embarrass her. She had her back to him at first, adjusting her hair in the mirror, unaware of his intrusion. And then she turned. The air around him seemed to compress. She didn’t scream. She didn’t shout. She simply arched an eyebrow, her piercing dark eyes locking onto his. “You’re in the wrong restroom,” she said, her voice calm, cold, commanding. “I—I’m sorry,” Ethan stammered, trying to step back. “I didn’t—” “Close the door,” she interrupted, her tone leaving no room for argument. He hesitated. “I—okay.” The click of the lock echoed. Silence fell. The tension was almost tangible, thick like velvet wrapping around them. She crossed the room slowly, her gaze fixed on him as if assessing every detail, every line of his body, every pulse that betrayed his nervousness. “You’re here for the secretary position,” she said, voice smooth, deliberate. “Yes,” he managed to whisper, his heart hammering. Her gaze lingered, dangerous and deliberate. “You walk into a women’s restroom before an interview. How do you fix mistakes, Mr…?” “Ethan.” “Mr. Cole,” she said slowly, her lips curving into the faintest smirk. “Do you take responsibility for your mistakes?” He didn’t answer verbally. He stepped closer. His hands rose to her waist, firm, controlled, dominant—but not forceful. He gave her a chance to stop him. She didn’t. The kiss that followed was not gentle. Not experimental. It was electric. Hungry. Precise. Her hands tangled in his hair. His hands pressed against her lower back, pulling her flush against him. Her back met the cold marble counter, heels slipping slightly as he lifted her effortlessly. “I don’t mix business with pleasure,” she whispered, breathless. “You already did,” he murmured, brushing his lips against hers again. And then it was over. She stepped back, perfectly composed, slipping her blouse back into place as if nothing had happened. Her eyes, sharp as knives, fixed him with that trademark CEO glare. “You’re not getting the job,” she said, voice ice-cold. “No?” “Leave,” she instructed, turning on her heel and walking past him. Ethan stood there, adjusting his tie, heart racing—not with regret—but with longing. Unbeknownst to him, the woman he had just shared something reckless, intimate, and unforgettable with was Olivia Hart. CEO. Power. Ice. And soon… his fate.

And every time they were alone… he forgot that Anna was his sister-in-law. More dangerously? Anna did not resist. She kept coming back—as if something within her called out, demanded, and claimed her. “He’s my sister's husband. I must not fall into his embrace. But obsession always triumphs over reason.

Ren died at eighteen doing what he always did—shielding his little sister with his own body, blood pooling while she screamed.

But a lost bet with her mother sends her away from a marvelous weekend trip to Mykonos and into the dusty attic of her family’s decaying ancestral manor. The catch was her inheritance. Her task?
