beauty

When the mysterious Eclipse descends once every century, the world is split between light and shadow… And Elena finds herself standing at the center of a prophecy she never believed in. After a near-fatal encounter with a creature born from darkness, she is rescued by a masked man—beautiful, powerful, and terrifying. A man whispered about in forbidden legends. A man known only as **The Shadow Prince**. Bound to him through an ancient mark that appears on her skin, Elena is dragged into a world ruled by magic, bloodlines, and secrets older than time. Their fates intertwine—her heart drawn to the very darkness she was taught to fear. But as the Eclipse approaches, both light and shadow want her dead. Only he can protect her. Only she can save him. And together… they may destroy everything.

Two hundred years ago, a prophecy revealed the coming of the Seventh Bond, a rare, powerful connection that would tie the soul of the Cursed Beast King to his one true mate. King Zarek waited two long centuries for this soulmate... only to discover she is the one thing he despises most: a human. Eliora knows nothing about magic, curses, or ancient prophecies. All she wants is a peaceful life with her parents, until she loses her home and is taken to the immortal king who claims her as his. Zarek is cold, feared, and dangerous, the most powerful king Eldfrost has had. His beast is violent, unpredictable, and fiercely possessive. Eliora fears him. Zarek refuses to let her go. As their worlds collide, secrets rise about her birth, his curse, and the reason the prophecy warned that the Seventh Bond could save the world… or destroy it. Now, with enemies watching, a kingdom whispering, and Zarek losing control of his beast, Eliora must decide: Will she run from the bond or step into the destiny that could unravel everything? .................... Book cover isn't mine. All credits go to the brilliant mind behind it.

There are times—far too many times—when you feel that uncontrollable urge to kill someone. For Kaya, this… this was exactly that moment. “Repeat what you just said?” She’d seen hell on the battlefield—second-in-command of a military unit, dodging bullets, dragging traitors by the collar, and coming out alive with grit under her nails. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared her for the sight of her spineless husband flirting with her own sister. Right in front of her. “I could never marry a barbarian like you. The one I... I like is Meera—” Blah blah. The same pitiful nonsense again. You think—what could possibly be worse than this? And then, right on cue, your idiotic sister chimes in, completely serious, “I just poisoned you.” Wow. BANG. Before anyone could even react, Meera collapsed. Dead. Her so-called husband gasped like a fish dragged out of water. “Y-you…” He dropped to his knees, staring at Kaya like he was seeing a monster rise from the dark. “You killed your sister?! How could y—?” BANG. Second bullet. Same spot. He dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. Silence. ... Just when Kaya thought her story had finally reached its bitter end, the universe—no, god himself—decided to throw in one last, ridiculous twist. “Wife… wife, didn’t you say you were gonna eat me? Why’d you stop?” A snake beast, ridiculously charming and glowing like some immortal fantasy, clung to her, eyes gleaming. Another voice interrupted. “Shut up! My wife wants to cuddle me now—” A sparrow beastman leapt into her arms, like that made any sense. “Hic… wife, don’t you want me anymore?” A panda-like beastman sat beside her, huge, sniffly, and wronged like a child abandoned at a festival. Sitting in the middle of all this, Kaya was absolutely dumbfounded. ‘When the hell did all of this even start?’

Branded as a defective omega and abandoned all her life, Clarissa finally discovers the truth... She is the lost daughter of the Alpha and Luna of Green Pack.

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.

Lucas is the only boy in the office where he works. Every boy's dream, right? Yes, and no! Every girl is crazy, and crazy hot! --SEXUAL SCENES, PROCEED WITH CAUTION--

At the orphanage, an unnatural curse spreads: the younger kids are falling ill, their bodies marked with black-violet cracks that pulse like bruises beneath their skin. No one knows what causes it - or how to stop it. Only two kids can leave the orphanage to find answers: Soren, the responsible eldest with water magic, and Cyrus, the reckless dual nature and fire-wielder who's as sharp-tongued as he is stubborn. But when the prankster twins Ray and Jay and nature weilding Marryanne secretly stow away, the group becomes a chaotic band of misfits on a dangerous journey-one that tests loyalties, reveals hidden powers, and forces Soren and Cyrus to finally face the complicated feelings between them. And if Cyrus doesn't keep the younger kids in line, the curse might be the least of their problems.

Ava and Aria; Two girls living completely different lives, yet sharing the same face. What would you do if your life was falling apart… and you met someone who looked exactly like you? You switch. Ava is an ordinary eighteen-year-old who values comfort over appearances. Hoodies over dresses. Sneakers over heels. She’s loud, carefree, and assumed to have a perfect life. Well, until her best friend of five years confesses his feelings for her. She feels nothing. And suddenly, her simple world becomes complicated. Aria lives a life Ava could never imagine. Polished posture. Perfect etiquette. Designer dresses. Crushing expectations. At eighteen, she moves like someone twice her age. Her future has already been decided for her, including an engagement to a man who openly admits he feels nothing for her. So when fate offers her an escape, she takes it. Separated at the age of four, Ava and Aria grew up in different countries, different families, and completely different worlds. They share no memories… no habits… and no personalities. Only the same face. Switching places was easy. Living each other’s lives is not. Because posture can be learned, but instincts can’t. Love can’t be faked forever. And secrets always surface. Will they end up fixing each other’s lives… or destroying them beyond repair?

Joseph, the head of the Anderson family was born beneath the brilliance of the aristocracy, a man whose very name was enough to make the entire Blue Moon Pack fall silent. Talented. Disciplined. Rational. The most trusted strategic adviser of King Lycan. In the world of commerce, he was an icon. On the streets, he was a symbol of pride. Yet his illustrious reputation carried one glaring “flaw”: His wife, a simple girl from a remote countryside, with no ties to nobility or high society. Their marriage was never born from love. When he was seven, his grandfather tipsy on strong wine agreed to a marital alliance with an old acquaintance. By the time Joseph came of age, that childish promise had turned into a chain binding him. He brought her into his home simply because he could not defy the wishes of his elders. From the very beginning, he set a clear boundary: They would live like polite strangers, civil, distant, and completely separate. But life had its ways of mocking certainty. She never fought, never demanded, never asked anything of him. She lived quietly, like the shade of a gentle tree, doing small, unnoticed things each day: tidying the pens and notes he left scattered, refreshing the flowers in his office, organizing the reports he had yet to finish… A presence so soft it became impossible to ignore. One day, he found himself returning home earlier than usual. Another day, he stood outside her room longer than necessary. And on a certain evening, the man known for his austerity returned with her favorite wine without knowing why he had bought it. Just when he began growing accustomed to her presence, the government erupted in turmoil. A storm of conspiracies, treason, criminal networks… and Joseph was pulled into its center. During a covert investigation, every lead pointed toward his gentle wife waiting quietly at home. He stood beneath the porch light, its swaying glow reflecting off the ice-cold sharpness in his eyes. Just a few more steps, and he would know everything: Who she truly was. What she had been hiding. Whether she was connected to the secrets he had been chasing. He could walk in, question her, tear apart every layer of truth. But if he did… he feared he would destroy the one thing that made him want to come home each night. The faint trace of the wine she’d shared with him the night before still lingered on his tongue. Joseph closed his eyes, tightened his grip, and stepped back. Because sometimes, the most terrifying truth is not that she might be lying to him but that he might not survive knowing the answer. Update schedule: 2 chapters per day, no updates on Sundays.

Yue Yue was once the precious White Jade Snake female of her primitive beast world. She was pampered, adored female and practically treated like a rare treasure. But the moment she opens her eyes… BAM! Her home was gone, the forest was gone, and there were no familiar beastmen running around half-naked. Instead... People are flying in the sky without wings. People are talking to glowing bracelets. People are living in giant metal buildings that look like angry mountains. Yue Yue wants to go home immediately. Unfortunately, fate laughs in her face. She finds out she has actually transmigrated… and not as some powerful heroine, but as an F-level female who is infertile and has F-level spiritual healing, basically treated like a useless accessory that can be thrown away anytime. From “Most Cherished Treasure of the City”...to “Garbage Female.” What kind of karmic debt is this!? Just when she’s ready to sit down and cry, a cold mechanical ding! rings in her head. A system? Yes, she got a system...but not the good kind. This system wants her to save villainous beastmen, the ones who are on the path to becoming degenerated, uncontrollable monsters. They are cruel, bloodthirsty, evil, and absolutely the last people she wants to babysit. Even worse, she only survives by completing the system’s ridiculous tasks. Yue Yue’s reaction: “I’m a snake, I only know how to slither! Why me?!” Now she must fight for survival, cure villains, avoid getting eaten by polluted beasts, and somehow prevent the interstellar world from collapsing...all while trying to figure out how this bizarre place works. A useless female? A forgotten character? Ha! Watch Yue Yue shake the entire galaxy. ~ Excerpt: Yue Yue didn’t know what was happening. One moment she was quietly trying to escape from this strange place, but suddenly a huge shadow appeared in front of her. A very big, very long, very black shadow. She slowly looked up...and her soul almost flew out of her body. A giant winged serpent hovered above her; its scales were darker than night, and its violet-black eyes swirled as if they could swallow the world. Its wings beat once, sending a blast of wind that nearly threw her off her feet. Before she could slither away, The snake hissed at her. His stare was so intense she felt like her tiny snake heart stopped beating. Her voice came out shaking, trembling and almost squeaking, “B-Brother… we’re the same species, okay? C-Cannibalism is… very bad. Very, VERY bad!” The serpent blinked. Then, right in front of her eyes, his massive body shrank, twisted, and transformed into a dangerously handsome beastman. A very tall, black-haired, violet-eyed, and exuding the full aura of “I can kill you with a glance.” Yue Yue gulped. He looked down at her and picked her up. It is as if she were a fruit he found on sale. “What are you doing?! Put me down! I’m not edible!” He didn’t even respond. He simply opened the pocket on his strange suit...and dropped her in. Yue Yue flailed inside like a trapped dumpling. “W-Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Am I being kidnapped!?” Her life was over. She had officially been abducted by a psychopath serpent in human clothing.
