The Duke's Unwanted Second Wife

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

The Fluffballs I Fed Were SSS-Rank Beastmen

[Reverse Harem + Strong Female Lead + Healing + Universally Adored Darling + Male Rivalry and Chaotic Scenes + Those Who Harm the Fluffies Will Be Dragged to the Crematorium!] Liang He, who loves to pet fluffies, flew from Blue Star to Sky Shining Star, becoming a Breeder at an Animal Protection Zone, and gave her colleagues quite a shock right from the beginning. To let the entire interstellar community enjoy the pleasure of virtually petting fluffies, Liang He chose to start an animal live-streaming channel, directly turning the fluffies into top interstellar celebrities. Then, Liang He was surprised to discover that the fluffies, who naturally attracted trending topics, each had an extraordinary identity. The Mojin King Tiger, which remained unmoved even when its belly was used as a pillow, turned out to be the Federation Marshal; the Platinum Giant Lion, which didn't resist at all when its tail was used as a toy, turned out to be the Imperial Crown Prince; the Canglan Hunting Falcon, which willingly let its beast body be used as a mount, turned out to be the First Commander of the Battlefield, and then there was him, him, and them… The crowd: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This isn't the Marshal (Crown Prince, Commander) we know! To evolve a Spiritual Body in Beast Form, SSS-level Beastmen in their Evolutionary Stage will irregularly transform into beasts and be sent to the Royal Key Animal Protection Zone on Sky Shining Star. They lack human consciousness, repel human proximity, and refuse to be kept and fed—until she appeared. Princes and nobles, emperors and generals, all submit to her and her alone. Short Skit: Liang He, who had always believed that SSS-level Beastmen would remain in their Beast Form for life, went to sleep one day as usual, cuddling a pile of fluffies. When she woke up, she saw a handsome and domineering face, holding her in an embrace. "Wh-who are you?! Give me back my fluffies!"
