In her previous life, Bethany was a top-tier survivor in an apocalyptic world where clean water and food was rarer than diamonds and betrayal came quicker than bullets. Ruthless, smart, and fiercely adaptive, she rose to become the leader of The Red Dawn Alliance, a powerful syndicate of Awakened ability users. But just when she thought she'd secured peace for her people, her most trusted aide and the only friend she dared to have stabbed her in the back in exchange for power. Literally. Now, Bethany wakes up… not dead, not in the apocalypse but inside a historical Chinese novel called Crimson Blossoms Under Heaven, a dark revenge drama she had once binge-read for the plot (and the hot male lead). She’s not the heroine. Nope. Instead, she had become Lan Yue, a lowly handmaiden doomed to die after betraying her mistress, the novel’s brilliant heroine. A cannon fodder side character destined to be nothing more than a footnote. But Lan Yue had no intention of playing her role. Why fight for someone else’s glory? Why throw herself into dog-blood drama filled with betrayal, revenge, and endless schemes? All she wanted was simple: Eat good food. Sleep as much as she wanted. Live quietly, far away from the chaos. Unfortunately… the heroine had other ideas. At first, her smiles were sweet, her words dripping with warmth. But the more time passed, the more Lan Yue noticed something was wrong. The heroine’s touches lingered too long. Her gaze burned hotter than it should. And instead of chasing the male lead, she clung closer and closer to her. “Lan Yue,” the heroine’s lips curled in a chilling smile, “Where do you think you’re going? You’re mine.” Lan Yue: “...” Wait. Weren’t you supposed to love the hero?! Please also check out my other books Why Is Every Male Lead Obsessed With Me?!

"It took us three days to clear the first floor," Jax shouted, backing up as the creature lunged. "This is our first mission together." Mira laughed, sharp and breathless, already moving. "You worry too much." She slid past him, blade flashing.

Updates on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. In the 36th century, humanity rules the solar system. War, poverty, and scarcity are relics of a distant past. Cities hum with limitless energy. Hunger and illiteracy have been engineered out of existence. Society is stable and prosperous. But peace has its own consequences. In a world without scarcity, conflict becomes ideology. Extremist sects and insurgent movements rise in the vacuum, threatening the fragile order billions now take for granted. Stretch is a marshal — one of the elite civil enforcers tasked with preserving stability across the system. Analytical, disciplined, and dangerously adaptive in combat, he believes in the structure he was raised in. Until a new organization emerges. One unlike the others. Their methods targeted and precise. Their goals unclear. As attacks escalate and loyalties fracture, Stretch finds himself pushed beyond protocol, beyond rank, and beyond certainty as he tries to protect all that matters to him. Updates on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. Cover art from gt39 on Pixabay

In her previous life, Xia Weiyi secretly loved Si Juan. But until her death, she didn't dare to express her love to him. After her death, her soul lingered, staying by his side every day. She saw him eating alone, bathing and swimming by himself, not dating any girlfriends, and refusing arranged marriages. On her death anniversary, he would send a rose, making her fantasize that perhaps he liked her. Reborn, Si Juan remained reserved and elegant, indifferent and cold-blooded. Meanwhile, Xia Weiyi was no longer timid and bravely pursued him. "Si Juan, I have nowhere to live. Can I stay at your place? Just for one night." The man stared at the delicate girl before him, his expression indifferent: "My house never keeps others." Xia Weiyi lay on his big bed, her fingers hooking his black shirt: "Just treat me as your woman." The man elegantly pulled off his black shirt: "...Good idea." In truth, the seemingly cold and untouchable him had already fallen for her, even earlier than she had. He lured her into falling, teaching her hand in hand how to pursue himself. ********* Xia Weiyi's secret crush was discovered, and everyone cursed her as a little vixen raised by a big vixen. She stood in the pouring rain, waiting for Si Juan. Upon learning the news, he flew back from abroad on a private plane and gently picked her up: "Come with me, I'll marry you." "But, Si Juan, no one will bless us." The elegant and noble him revealed a mad glint in his eyes: "I will make them kneel and bless us." He held a grand wedding for her, with guests filling the hall. She was held in his arms and kissed, receiving the blessings of millions...

He's dying... And never know he still has the strength to moan until Lucian Vale walks into his life. The cold, untouchable billionaire CEO with a flawless image, Rowan Donovan has six months left to live. Rowan has never desired a man. Never imagined wanting one. Never questioned who he was—until one day, he encounters a distinctively strange man, Lucian Vale. Lucian looks at him like he already knows how Rowan tastes. Lucian is sin dressed as a smile. Too bold. Too close. Too aware of the way Rowan stiffens when their bodies brush, the way his breath hitches when Lucian’s voice drops lower, slower, deliberate. Rowan tells himself it’s stress. Curiosity. A lapse in control. But his body doesn’t lie. He reacts to Lucian in ways he never has before- hard, desperate, undone. He moans for a man whose touch feels dangerous and addictive, whose hands don’t ask permission before taking what Rowan never knew he could give. What starts as secret nights meant to silence curiosity turns into something darker and deeper: need, craving, surrender. And somewhere between sweat-soaked sheets and whispered breaths, Rowan realizes the most terrifying truth of all— he doesn’t just want Lucian’s body. He wants to live. But Lucian is hiding something. Did Lucian just come to make the dying CEO moan before his death… or to decide whether he deserves to survive?

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!

Moving to Seoul was supposed to be my fresh start. A new city, a new job as an English teacher, and a chance to finally prove I could make it on my own.

To the rest of the school, he is just a lazy student with no future. To me, he is a mystery I am determined to solve. But the quiet boy who can’t pass a simple vocabulary test is a lie.

I’m supposed to be the one teaching him, but as our private lessons turn into something much more dangerous, I realize I might be the one learning a lesson I never signed up for.

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

KURIKORU BLOODLINE: EXISTENCE OF PAIN ‎ ‎A prophecy spoken by the Watchers foretold the rise of three brothers—sons of one man—each bound to a different fate, each destined to reshape the world. ‎ ‎Laiman was warned never to go to war. ‎He defied fate—and survived the Battle of the Sixty Thousand, a massacre no man was meant to live through. As punishment, the power that saved him was stolen and passed to his unborn son. ‎ ‎That child became Ragna. ‎ ‎Born in flight and raised in secrecy, Ragna grew up unaware that he was one of the enslaved Migardians forced to serve the very empire that crushed his people. While training at the Temple of Eyes, he discovered the truth—and chose rebellion. ‎ ‎But Ragna was not alone. ‎ ‎His brothers walked darker paths. ‎Colvo, raised in privilege, believed order must be enforced through fear. ‎Mist, rejected by society, sought freedom through revolution. ‎ ‎When blood ties were revealed, brotherhood turned to war. ‎ ‎Chains were shattered. Kingdoms fell. Crowns were raised in blood. ‎Ragna became the Liberator of Migard, Mist the founder of a rebel nation, and Colvo the empire’s deadliest commander. ‎ ‎This is not the story of one king. ‎ ‎It is the origin of a bloodline— ‎forged through pain, ambition, and prophecy— ‎that will one day dominate the Broken Continent.
