Mature (R-18+) Three years of marriage. Three years of silence, loneliness, no recognition, and now... betrayal. Elara Frost thought love meant patience, that one day her husband would finally see her emotions, her love, and her care, and choose her, cherish her as she did. But the only thing he gave her was loneliness and indifference. And thus, when his affection for his secretary shadowed her entirely, shattered her illusions, and made her realize that she was never anything to him, never more than a pawn, she walked away. Everyone who knew them thought she would fade away without him, that she wouldn't survive a day without the luxurious life her husband provided, but did they really know her, the real her? She didn't leave to disappear; she went to return as someone untouchable, someone her ex couldn't dare to provoke, and someone every man desired and every family wanted as their daughter-in-law. When her real identity was revealed, it left everyone shocked. She returned as the real heiress, with connections to the underworld. She returned as the woman everyone needed to bow to and fear, wrapped in diamonds and draped in the drapes of vengeance. After being betrayed once, Elara vowed she would never fall in love again, but the queens aren't safe from love either. She isn't left with much choice when her childhood fiancé returns from abroad, promising her the world she never had. Snippet: "I would be a fool to fall for a man again after everything that life has made me go through," Elara confessed, her expression edgy, a solemn hint crossing her eyes. "In that case, don't fall for me, Miss Elara. Instead, let me fall for you. Because I know for sure, you are worth fighting for," Daniel Macros said, his eyes holding nothing but pure obsession, something she had never experienced before. Elara thought dealing with one persistent pursuer was hard enough, but what would she do when her ex-husband knelt before the entire world, begging for her to return? Will she let the old flame of her love burn again, or will she let Daniel's calm presence sweep her off her feet? Disclaimer: The story is participating in the Viral Book Call 2025. Please support.

Bethany Larson was revered as a living legend. At fifty, she stood at the peak of the entertainment world—a globally known singer and actress who built her success with her own hands. Her name was a brand, her talent undeniable, and her fortune self-made. Yet the person she loved unconditionally and trusted the most became her executioner. Murdered by her much younger actor husband, who mockingly admitted he married her only for her wealth, connections and fame, Bethany’s life ended in betrayal and regret. As she lay on her own pool of blood, dying and watching him walk away with his men, she cried and desperately prayed to any God that was willing to answer her for one thing she had never asked for before: a second chance. And her prayer was answered. Bethany woke up in a hospital, not as herself, but as "Rosita Dixon", a twenty-three-year-old D-list singer and actress—the eldest daughter of the Dixons, one of the most powerful aristocratic families in the Republic of Hosiria. At first, she believed she had been given a new and easy life then she realized she was wrong after being told by her manager that the original Rosita Dixon is despised by society, mocked by the media, and treated cruelly by her own family. Now carrying Bethany Larson’s soul, memories, and experience, Rosita must survive a family that loathes her, an elite society that looks down on her, and an entertainment industry that has already judged her. This time, she is determined to live for herself—and never die powerless again.

Yvette Matthews had a great early childhood. She had loving parents that has given her a great life. Her father was a 5-star master chef while her mother was a well known patissier in the culinary world. Her life was great but all of that changed when her parents got into a car accident and died. Yvette was orphaned at a tender age of six years old. In her parent’s wake, a middle aged man with his ten year old son came. He told Yvette that he was her parents’ friend from college and was willing to adopt Yvette. Her having no next of kin and rather than her going into foster care, the adults in the foster agency agreed after checking the man’s background. It was known that the middle aged man was the CEO of a large 5-star hotel and restaurant group that not only operated in the country but around the world. Yvette lived a life as a princess being doted by her stepfather and stepbrother. Even though she lived a life full of luxury, she stayed humble and studied hard to be a good chef and patissier like her parents. She loved her new family, and she harbored romantic feelings with her stepbrother, Joseph Hamilton. Something she kept a secret since she knew her feelings cannot be reciprocated. But all of that changed when her stepfather died of old age. When the lawyer of his stepfather read his last will leaving seventy percent of his fortune to Yvette including the rights to the Hamilton hotels. This shocked many especially her stepbrother, Joseph, since he was only left with thirty percent. But there was a clause in the will, that Jospeh could be the CEO if he marries Yvette and they produce an heir. Her life started to turn gray since Joseph was forced to leave his current girlfriend whom Yvette knew he loved so much and marry her to get the CEO title. Joseph’s kindness and pampering turned into hate and disgust. He became cold and aloof, coming home late and going to work early in the morning. Yvette’s only solace was the son she bore with Joseph on their wedding night. She poured all of her love to her little son. But fate was cruel to her once again when she found out that Joseph was seeing his ex-girlfriend once again. Hearing from someone that they were meeting in a hotel room, she mustered the courage to confront them. Yvette saw the ex-girlfriend in the hotel room wearing sexy lingerie. They got in the heated argument. “Seph does bot love you.” The ex-girlfriend said. “He just married you to get the position that should be rightfully his!” She shouted. “Do you not think I know that?!” Shouted Yvette. “But he is still married to me!” The two were pulling each other’s hair in the hotel balcony which is located at the 43rd floor. They both went over the railed in the heat of the moment and they were holding for dear life. “Dianne!” Joseph voice was heard inside the hotel room. “S-Seph!” The ex-girlfriend shouted. “Help me!” “Dianne!” Joseph was alarmed to see her hanging on the balcony. “Yvette? Why are you here?!” He sounded surprised. “H-Help me.” Yvette cried. “Hold on! I am going to get you out.” Joseph said but he pulled his ex-girlfriend first and took off his coat to put on to her. Yvette’s heart was crushed. She knew in that time that who Joseph really loved was Dianne and not her. This erased all of her hope on being loved and had let go. She felt her body falling for a long time. Yvette’s body felt light and she thought that she had now thrown all of her guilt and the burden in the loveless relationship. She wished that in her next life, she would not have this kind of love once again. But then she opened her eyes once again, to the day when the lawyer would read her stepfather’s last will. “I will changed my fate.” Yvette thought. “In this life, I will not be drowned in a loveless marriage with my stepbrother.”

(A/N: Their relationship dynamic progresses and doesn't stay exactly like it is at the start (The one-sided love doesn't last long). Pacing is also relatively fast at the start, but slows down in the future in romance arcs.) In his old life, he was an assassin, invisible, efficient, and utterly alone. His only escape came from the pages of a fantasy novel, Crown of Thorns, and the character no one else seemed to understand: Lady Evelina D’Arclight, the proud and brilliant villainess fated to lose everything. After his death, he wakes up inside that very story, not as a hero, but as Cael Arden, a student at Eryndor Royal Academy. The world is just as he remembers it, right down to the woman destined to fall. But this time, he’s not a bystander. With a lifetime of deadly skills and the knowledge of what’s to come, Cael sets out to rewrite the story itself, to protect Evelina, rise through the academy’s ruthless hierarchy, and change a fate written in stone. As alliances form and secrets surface, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur. And in a world built on power and prophecy, he’ll prove that even a villainess deserves her happy ending.

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

“Finally, we have something special. A matched set, if you will. An omega and her pup. The mother’s a rogue, freshly severed, which as many of you know makes her quite the omen. And the child, well, she’s young and trainable. Together, they make a fascinating package.” No. No, no, no. A guard grabbed my arm, shoving me toward the stage. Another one carried Nora, who was screaming and reaching for me, and I knew this night was about to change our lives forever. I just didn’t realize how much. ----- Dionne Parker has spent her entire life being invisible, just another omega servant scrubbing floors and swallowing insults. She’s survived the Bloodmoon Pack by keeping her head down, her mouth shut and her daughter alive. But when she’s framed for a crime she didn’t commit, survival means running… straight into the hands of traffickers where her life takes the worst turn. Standing on that auction stage under blinding lights, listening to strangers bid on their lives, Dionne thinks this is the end. Until a voice cuts through the chaos with an offer no one can match. Her buyer is Kael, the five-hundred-year-old Lycan King whose reputation is built on blood and brutality. Cursed by dark magic and barely holding onto his humanity, he’s the last person Dionne should be around. But the moment he sees her, his beast who has been violent and uncontrollable for three centuries, goes completely still. As if it’s been waiting for her. Now Dionne is trapped in a castle with a king who’s barely holding onto his humanity, enemies who are closing in from every corner, and a shadow who’s been organizing her destruction from the start. Will she survive when her past and present collide, or will the love meant to save her become the weapon that destroys them both?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"Now you see?" she shouted in a tone that was somewhere between annoyance and disappointment. "You can’t outsmart Scrients! They’re the most intelligent beings across the two realms!" "You’re right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a solemn sigh. "I made a mistake. I was arrogant to think a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "...Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I’m not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait! You can’t. I killed them all." --- My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid and pointless scuffle. And in the middle of it, I tripped and smacked my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in… Memories of a different life. Memories of another world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First: I was inside a game I used to play in my past life. Second: I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool, mysterious, tragic kind either! No, I was the worst kind of cliché — a spoiled, insufferable, and arrogant young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. You know the type! The one everyone hates. The one the hero would beat into the ground to show everyone just how strong and righteous he is. Yeah. I was that guy! My fate was to be a stepping stone for the main characters, be manipulated by a Demon Prince, and die a dog's death. And the hero? The hero was the same kid I’d been bullying all this time. The one I just got into a fight with. He was supposed to be the savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And waiting at the end of it all was the final antagonist. The unbeatable nightmare. …The Spirit King. But could I even make it to the end? Could I really survive in a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that had now become my reality? “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could. But I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, altering the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains long before they could become threats — nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected by my actions? Excellent! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me. My survival. My life. My choices. “I’ll live this life with no regrets.” ...But as I soon discovered, fate wasn't so easily changed. And the price of rewriting your destiny was steep. ========== Discord Server: https://discord.gg/VjFQtDUaTR

"Daddy, I saved $2.50 for you! Please don't let them kick us out..." My five-year-old daughter's words shattered me. But they also awakened something terrifying. [DING! FATHER'S LOVE SYSTEM ACTIVATED] [Daughter's Happiness = Infinite Wealth Unlocked] [Daughter's Tears = Rule-Breaking Authority Granted] [Daughter's Wishes = SSS-Tier Skills Obtained] Five years ago, I ruled the global business empire as the legendary "Northern Star." Then they framed me, bankrupted me, and took my wife. I was forced to become a nobody—a broke dad living in a slum. But my daughter's pure heart just triggered the system I thought was gone forever. Now? Every time she smiles, I gain $100 million. Every time she cries, I unlock the power to legally destroy anyone who hurt her. Tax audits. Stock manipulation. Classified intel. I don't need violence—I have rules. My gold-digger ex-wife who abandoned us? Bankrupt by Chapter 10. The lawyer freezing my accounts? She'll soon discover I'm her boss's boss. The billionaire brat who made my daughter cry? His family's empire will crumble before sunrise. But there's a countdown: every time I use the system, the shadow syndicate hunting me gets closer. The same monsters who still hold my wife captive. I'm walking a tightrope between protecting my daughter's smile and unleashing hell on my enemies. They wanted to bury me. Instead, they gave me a reason to burn the world down. Warning: Extreme face-slapping. Overpowered MC. No mercy for scum.

When everyone else levels up, I'm the only one who can level them DOWN. Ethan Su was a joke—the only student who failed to awaken a profession in a world where power is everything. Framed for theft and dragged to a public execution, he should've died a nobody. But as the blade fell, a crimson system screen materialized before his eyes: [Omni-Dimensional Taxation System Activated] [Target: Lv.15 Swordsman | Tax Owed: 50,000 EXP + 1 Life] [Forced Collection: SUCCESS] His executioner collapsed, drained to Level 0. Ethan didn't get stronger—he made everyone else weaker. Now, every person he sees has a glowing "tax bill" above their head. Steal a genius's talent? Audit complete. Strip a god's divinity? Payment overdue. The more they resist, the more he collects. But this power comes with a curse. Over-taxation triggers "Soul Starvation," and each concept he steals (fire, time, fear) temporarily blinds him to it. Worse, a mysterious "Fallen Auditor" is hunting him—a predecessor who's been collecting taxes for 100,000 years. As Ethan builds his empire from Earth's underworld to the divine realms, he uncovers the truth: the universe is a farm, and mortals are livestock. His system? A virus designed to bankrupt the gods. In a cosmos where death and taxes are inevitable, Ethan Su will make sure only one survives.

Elena Thorn never expected to cross paths with the ruthless and cold CEO, Ryan Redland who got rid of her like some nuisance. She never imagined that her fate would be sealed with him by a contract marriage, forced on them both. She is spoiled, free spirited, and daring. While, he is a man of control, order and silence. Despite the consistent tension, a costly romance simmers. What starts as a reluctant union quickly spirals to something sinister. With a dangerous love triangle, a vengeful, greedy and power-hungry secret rival in play, their union is one filled with love and betrayal. Can their bond survive the endless twists of deceit, pride, lust and betrayal? Will this contract be much more costly than they both bargained for?

BACK FOR REVENGE. Damien Reece had one mission: infiltrate the Caster family and uncover who destroyed everyone he loved years ago. Operating under the alias Damien Smith, he knows the task won't be easy—his enemies are powerful, influential, and deeply entrenched in society's elite. But Damien is no ordinary man. Possessing unnatural strength, razor-sharp cunning, and skills that defy human limitations, he navigates the dangerous game of deception with calculated precision. His plan was quite simple: "Seduce the second daughter of the Caster family and earn their trust. Conduct the investigation from within, and maintain your false identity at all costs." What he doesn't anticipate is the complication that threatens to unravel everything—his growing feelings for someone he should only see as a means to an end. As Damien gets closer to the truth, he must decide: will he complete his mission of vengeance, or will he succumb to the one weakness he never accounted for—love? (Note: To all my readers, the romance is slow burn. 70 percent involves face slapping drama and action.)

A prideful snake who bowed to no one—until he became a jealous husband. A snow tiger beast warrior feared and respected, reduced to an obedient husband. A wolf chief known as a Casanova, who never stayed—until he chose loyalty. And a selfish merman who learned generosity for the first time, expecting nothing in return for his prized possession. All of them changed after meeting one woman... After sniffing in an impossible scent. Her name is Arinya. …And unfortunately for this world, that’s me, haha. *** I wrote a book once. It was an unhinged fantasy born from my high-school brain, driven by loneliness and too many hormones. It was a world of beastmen, wild freedom, and the kind of romantic attention I could never get in real life. I poured every impossible desire into it: adventure, danger, and yes… a 'lot' of handsome partners. Before I knew it, I had a thousand chapters of pure escapism and pure thrill. Then on a college camping trip, I fell off a cliff. I expected to wake up in a hospital room but nope. I woke up on a soft field of grass, with air too fresh to belong anywhere on Earth. And then something moved behind me. Sticking out of my tailbone was... A tail. My tail? Yellow and black stripes and very, very real. I touched it. Completely real. My ears? Also gone—well, moved. They were now perched on top of my head like a confused jungle cat. And the outfit? Quite revealing, made of animal hide which matched my tail. What was going on? At first, I thought it was a prank. Or a dream. Or maybe karma is finally cashing in. But the more foreign memories evaded my mind, the clearer my situation became. This wasn't cosplay and it wasn't Earth, either. And—surprise—it wasn't even the world from my own book. Welp. I had been transported into a completely different Beastman world as a beast girl called Arinya. Sounds fun, right? Well… it would be, if I weren't apparently the ugliest duckling in the entire freaking savannah! Rejected by every potential mate I stumbled across and sneered at like a freaking eyesore. This was not how I planned my fantasy to come to reality. Trust me—if this is my fantasy come true, then someone needs to fire the author. But then again, after entering this world, I'm suddenly... Attractive. I mean, there's no change to my face and the freckles are still there, but for some reason, handsome beastmen begin to flock around me, wanting to be my mate because I smell... Pleasant. What's that all about?

Evie, a human resources professional who loves gossip, dies while trying to resolve a club fight and is transported to the body of a palace maid. However, the body is of a woman with a secret identity, trying to protect the ones she loves at all costs, even if that means that she has to get too close to the sun.

She was the girl nobody wanted, easy to overlook, easy to blame, and impossible to love. Growing up in her pack taught her early that she would always be the outsider. So she made herself a promise: keep her head down, survive the years, and walk away the moment she turned eighteen. But fate never plays fair. On the night she finally becomes an adult, her wolf awakens at last… and along with it, a mate bond she never asked for. And the mate fate chooses for her? The future Alpha. Her sister’s devoted fiancé. The boy who spent her entire childhood making sure she knew she didn’t belong. She hates him. Despises him. Wants absolutely nothing to do with him. But the bond has other plans. Suddenly, the Alpha-to-be, arrogant, sharp-tongued, and stubborn to the point of madness, can’t breathe without her. He’s furious that fate tied him to the girl he once broke… and even more furious that he can’t stay away from her now. She wants nothing but freedom. He wants her within reach. She keeps pushing him off. He keeps coming back. Because the one girl he never wanted has become the one his wolf refuses to live without. And as long-buried secrets surface, loyalties splinter, and unwanted feelings start to burn between them, one question lingers… Can something broken truly be rebuilt, or have they already crossed the point of no return?

In the Nine Provinces Continent, strength determines fate and bloodlines decide destiny. Long Chen was once the pride of the Long Clan, a prodigy who awakened a rare Dragon Bloodline and raced toward the peak of cultivation. But during a mysterious ancestral rite, catastrophe struck—his bloodline shattered, his cultivation collapsed, and he became a despised cripple overnight. What no one knew was that the destruction of his Dragon Bloodline did not mark his end. It was the beginning. Hidden within his shattered blood was a forgotten legacy—the Nine-Colored Supreme Blood, a celestial power that transcends dragons, demons, and even the heavens themselves. Guided by the mysterious Chaos Heaven Scripture, Long Chen embarks on a path no one has ever walked before: forging chaos, refining bloodlines, and ascending not as a dragon… but as a sovereign above all origins. From clan humiliation to sect rivalries, from inter-race wars to cosmic battlefields, Long Chen will challenge geniuses of every race, defy heavenly laws, and uncover the truth behind the origin of all bloodlines. When the heavens tremble and the myriad races kneel, only one truth will remain— He is not bound by bloodlines. He is their master.

Viola was once the pride of her pack, destined to rise above everyone on the day she received her wolf. Instead, that day marked her fall. She had been the villain in countless stories, untouchable and adored by the Alpha heir, until the night her wolf was supposed to awaken, and fate played its cruelest joke.
