BOUND BY REVENGE, SEALED BY FATE

Iris Chen, 25, thought she knew what love meant. For six years, she poured her heart into Damien Hartwell—her college sweetheart, her fiancé, the man she believed would be her forever. She worked three jobs to support his startup dreams, deferred her own career, and endured her stepfamily's cruelty because he promised they'd build a life together. Then, the day before their wedding, Damien announces he's marrying her dying stepsister Vivienne instead. "She only has six months to live," he says, as if that makes breaking Iris's heart noble. "You're strong. You'll understand." Iris's father—who remarried after her mother's death—sides with his "fragile" stepdaughter. Her inheritance? Stripped away and given to Vivienne as a wedding gift. Her job at the family company? Terminated. Even her apartment was never really hers—it was in Damien's name. Cast out with nothing but a suitcase and a shattered heart, Iris is ready to disappear into obscurity. Until a sleek black car pulls up beside her in the rain, and a man who looks like sin in a three-piece suit offers her an umbrella. Adrian Thorne, 35, is Manhattan's most ruthless corporate titan—a self-made billionaire with ice in his veins and a reputation for destroying anyone who crosses him. He's also devastatingly handsome, dangerously intelligent, and apparently... interested in her. His offer is simple: a one-year contract marriage. He needs a wife to secure a inheritance from his traditionalist grandmother and close a major business deal. She needs revenge, money, and a way to make Damien regret every breath he takes. The rules are crystal clear: - No emotional attachment - No falling in love - No questions about his past - Public perfection, private distance Except Adrian doesn't do distance. Every carefully staged kiss for the paparazzi lingers too long. Every "pretend" touch burns too hot. Every night he insists she sleep in his penthouse "for appearances" ends with them barely keeping to their separate rooms. And when Iris discovers she's pregnant—from one forbidden night when the lines between fake and real completely blurred—their contract marriage becomes the most dangerous truth either has ever faced. Because Adrian Thorne isn't who he claims to be. He's not just some billionaire who happened to find her that rainy night. He's been watching her for years, waiting for the perfect moment to make his move. And his connection to her past—and to Damien—runs far deeper and darker than she ever imagined. Damien is on his knees begging (especially after "dying" Vivienne makes a miraculous recovery and reveals her own agenda). Her family wants her back now that she's Mrs. Adrian Thorne. But her fake husband isn't playing anymore. "You were my revenge plan, Iris. Now you're my entire world. And I don't share."

Divorce? Fine! The Frail Wife is Actually a Yakuza Boss

"Hanae, let’s be honest. You’re too plain. You’re boring. Emi is fragile and needs me, but you? You’re sturdy enough to survive on your own." On their wedding day, Kenji didn’t just break Hanae’s heart—he humiliated her in front of all of Neo-Tokyo, leaving her at the altar for her manipulative, "sickly" stepsister. Everyone expected the gentle, soft-spoken Hanae to cry. They expected her to beg. Instead, she sighed. "You’re right, Kenji. I am sturdy." RIIIP. With a single motion, Hanae tore the silk wedding dress from her body, revealing not the soft skin of a housewife, but rock-hard muscles, scars from a thousand battles, and the terrifying dragon tattoo of the "Asura"—the legendary, retired heir of the Kurosawa Yakuza Clan. For six years, Hanae starved herself, wore baggy clothes, and pretended to be weak just to fit Kenji’s ideal of a "delicate wife." Now, the act is over. The Dragon has woken up. Step 1: Beat up the ex-husband’s bodyguards in high heels. Step 2: Sign a contract marriage with Ryuuji, the dangerous "Demon King" of the rival syndicate. Step 3: Remind the entire underworld why they used to fear her name. When Kenji realizes that his "useless" wife was actually the mastermind behind his success—and the only woman capable of protecting him—he comes crawling back on his knees, weeping for forgiveness. Hanae looks down at him, cracking her knuckles with a smile that promises violence. "Forgive you? Sorry, my husband gets jealous when I play with trash."

The Cost Of Understanding Him

Dr. Nina Reeves was drowning until a billionaire sociopath taught her that good people don't win, they just die poor. This dark romance psychological thriller follows a brilliant criminal psychologist whose ethical world shatters when Zachary Hale walks into her office for court-mandated therapy. He's a tech mogul, diagnosed sociopath, and the most dangerous man she's ever met, not because he's violent, but because he sees her hunger for power before she admits it exists. In this enemies-to-lovers corruption arc with morally grey characters, Nina discovers that being good kept her drowning in debt while her father died of cancer. Zachary offers her everything: $500,000 salary, her father's treatment covered, and partnership in building a criminal empire where psychological manipulation is the ultimate weapon. This billionaire romance with dark mafia undertones isn't about redemption; it's about revelation. Every corporate crime Nina helps orchestrate, every corrupt politician she coaches, every enemy she destroys using her psychology expertise, she becomes more of who she was always meant to be. The possessive obsessive male lead doesn't fix her. He frees her. Fans of antiheroine stories, forbidden therapist-patient relationships, and office romance gone criminal will devour this contemporary romantic suspense. It portrays a strong female lead who chooses darkness actively, not as trauma response. The forced proximity of therapy sessions becomes a twisted courtship where power dynamics shift, ethics crumble, and love looks like obsessive possession. With fast-paced chapters ending in cliffhangers, this dark thriller romance explores whether corruption is freedom when the alternative is helplessness. The FBI is closing in, former friends become enemies, and Nina must choose: return to powerless goodness or embrace becoming Zachary's perfect partner in every criminal sense. Warning: Contains morally complex characters, criminal activity, manipulation, and a love story with no redemption arc. Just pure, unapologetic descent into darkness.

The dragon's harem

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

Crownless Ascension: The Shepherd Saga

Having once been a celebrated warrior, he spent his last days overwhelmed by the burden of conflict, experiencing remorse, despair, and a profound sense of emptiness from a soul ravaged by the terrors he had seen. In obscurity, he passed away, a person whose inner self had long departed. However, passing was not the conclusion. The Infinite Creator, though invisible yet ever-present, granted him another opportunity, transforming him into something greater than his previous self. He is revived in another world, awakening as Lythion, an insignificant herder located in a humble community. In this realm, creatures such as succubi, vampires, terrifying undead, and gigantic beings wander freely. Moreover, he is guided by a mysterious System, presenting challenges and missions exclusively tailored for him. Nonetheless, these ordeals surpass mere warfare; each triumph and encounter compels him to recuperate the sentiments he had forfeited: bravery, happiness, affection, sorrow, and even optimism itself. As Lythion reclaims each feeling, he develops greater strength, unlocking abilities intricately connected to the core of his being. Lythion transitions from a shepherd to a fighter, from fractured to complete, confronting deceit, illicit cravings, and the overwhelming responsibility of leadership. By regaining the entirety of his humanity, he can rise not just in dominance, but also in the chance for genuine rebirth. “Authority is not freely handed out; it’s earned by devotion… attained through the spirit, innermost self, and the struggles known only to oneself. ”
