Odessa Garrett had always been grateful to have a father who was there to defend and protect her from the cruel world until the inevitable took her only protector away. Odessa lost her adopted father at the age of 21 and that began a new phase of misery in her life. When she believed her life was finally having a good turn with her family, the unimaginable took her by storm. Her own sister, Maya, swore to destroy her reputation and when that failed to satisfy her, she vowed to get rid of her completely. Kidnapped and sold into slavery, Odessa wakes up to discover she was married to Adrian Macmillan–a handsome, hardworking billionaire who held a high position in his company where power was clutched by those desperate enough to chase it. However, things become complicated when she discovers she has Amnesia; a sickness that makes her memory lost. Ashamed of her current situation where she finds it difficult to recall her past achievements, she's afraid of losing everything she had worked for in the hands of these power mongers, including her family she had built with so much love. However, her greatest fear was her husband who now resented her for what she had become–for pretending to have lost her memory. In her struggle to find love in the arms of Adrian again, she encounters a bigger challenge, the truth that tests her determination and more importantly her heart. How will she survive this banter love where she claims her cold-hearted husband, protects all she worked hard to keep, and shields the terrifying truth about her? A truth that might take her position as Adrian's wife. Excerpt: ~ She was still in her daze when she noticed his eyes go down her body and quickly her hands fell on the towel wrapped around her chest, which was the only thing that covered her nakedness. But still, she felt stripped by those very eyes. "You must be my husband, Adrian?" She asked. Excitement bubbling. However, her questions were answered with a dangerous look that suddenly marred the man's face. "I must be your husband?" He scoffed loudly. His brows rose, furrowed to the point that it drew several angry-looking lines on his forehead. "What now? Pretending not to know what you are doing?" He now advanced towards her, keeping his eyes that now turned red locked in hers. A wave-like electric shock ran through her body as he ceased her on the spot with his dangerous aura. "You are pretending not to know me now, Wife?" ~ "Now, look at yourself and tell me, you still don't know what you're doing?" She shook her head, attempting to speak, but failed. "Now what? You're tongue-tied now?!" "I...I... don't know what you're talking about. I don't remember a thing." She shook her head. But it seemed her answer only enraged him the more.  "Goodness!" He spat, pushing her out of his grip. She stumbled backwards, falling on her butt, and whimpered as the pain shot through her. With tear-filled eyes, she looked at him, his eyes repulsively glaring down at her. Everything tumbled in her head, not understanding a thing. Why was he treating her like that? He's her husband, right? Why was he being cruel to her?

Lin Yue died exhausted in a modern kitchen, chasing a dream that would never come. She wakes up in ancient China—in the body of a "useless" farm wife despised by her husband's family. Weak. Slow.

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.

"Ah, Young Master, Cassius?...I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to hear that he's not available at the moment as he's 'attending' to his adopted mother in her room." Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one. "I apologise once again as Young Master is at the Capital right now teaching a class to the female students in the Academy." Isabelle said with her cheeks flushed, already knowing that her master was taking a very 'practical' lesson about human reproduction with the girls in his class. "Oh my! The King wants to meet the Young Master?...Well I guess he'll have to wait since Young Master, Cassius has gone clothes shopping with the Queen." Isabelle lied to the King himself, knowing that her Young Master wasn't shopping for clothes and was actually removing the royal clothes off the Mother of the Country. Excuses...Excuses...The loyal maid, Isabelle had no choice but to make excuses for her Young Master, who was the most talked about and hated noble on the Continent because of his depraved escapades with all sorts of woman ranging from his own Family to Royalty itself and his Tyranical rule over his estate. And to think that not too long ago he was considered a wastrel noble, who was going to drink himself to death one day. ...When did it all begin she wondered as she excitedly walked into his room to get the reward she deserved for being such a loyal made, while someone else made excuses for her this time. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [No NTR - No sharing - No system that assists the protagonist - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls - No unnecessary Drama - Incest - Harem - Hardcore Netori - Slice of Life Romance - Demigirls - Elves - Vampires - Beast Girls - Slaves - Royalty - Finally a very competent protagonist] discord.gg/ujeKWchgeb

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. She fell to the lowest rank in her pack, rejected by her sworn mate. Stripped of status, strength, and even her wolf, she was forced to live a life worse than that of an omega. Imprisoned and alone, Viola’s only hope of escape lay in finding her wolf, or her fated mate. Only, a dark past kept her powers dormant… and her fated mate didn’t want her. Sebastian Kade is powerful, ruthless, and chained to a past he refuses to release. Viola Linden does not belong in his world, and he wants her gone. Fate, however, disagrees. This fragile, stubborn girl refuses to leave his orbit. He does not believe in love. He does not want her. He has already lost too much. An Alpha who swore off weakness, hardened by loss and haunted by a prophecy that feels more like a curse, Sebastian is certain he will never allow another woman into his life. But the Moon Goddess is rarely kind. Viola carries something ancient within her, something dangerous, something powerful enough to defy him. Hate twists into desire. Desire ignites into fierce passion. And passion threatens to become love. But when Sebastian discovers what Viola truly carries within her, will it save him… or destroy everything he’s built? ~~~ WARNING: MATURE CONTENT! #Slow burn #Spicy #Morally Gray ML #Adventure #Angst

In her past life, Princess Katerina was promised to Prince Maximilian, the man she loved… until he betrayed her and destroyed her name beyond repair. When duty demanded it, she married King Dorian to save her people. It was a marriage born of sacrifice, not desire. But Maximilian never let her go.

She will not trust the man who destroyed her once already. But fate has other plans. A curse. A bond. A shackle she cannot break. The only way to ease the curse… is intimacy with the man she despised. Bound once more to the enemy king of her past life, Catherine must face a terrifying question: Does Maximilian truly not remember what he did… or is he hiding the truth behind those unreadable eyes? And when King Dorian returns in this life, offering her peace and safety… Two men. Two pasts. One woman who remembers everything.

He raised an eyebrow, “You're suggesting we marry each other, and also we are complete strangers?” Evie nodded in confidence. “Why not? We're both clearly compatible, and this way, we can both save face and gain a partner, except for the fact that this will be a contract marriage of six months.” Westley's gaze lingered on hers as if sizing her up. Then, he nodded slowly. “Very well, let's do it.” ... “You're either very brave or very reckless to make such an attempt in picking me as your husband in public,” he said after the marriage. “If I didn't try, we wouldn't have figured out a way to get this opportunity.” She responded. ….
