In a nation ruled by quiet control, the government doesn’t just eliminate threats— it rewrites them. Years ago, two siblings were discarded by that system, abandoned under the guise of state necessity. Forced to survive in the shadows, they grew up taking on dangerous, illegal work—learning how power really functions. And they never forgot who put them there. Revenge wasn’t a dream. It was a plan. Carefully constructed, piece by piece. The protagonist doesn’t aim directly for the top. He targets what connects to it. So when he infiltrates an elite gathering, it isn’t for a simple assassination. the son of a powerful government director—was never meant to be the final target. He was meant to be used. A way in. But the plan falters the moment they meet. He sees through him instantly—tearing apart his disguise, exposing his methods, and refusing to play the role assigned to him. Instead of becoming a pawn, he becomes something far more dangerous: An equal on the board. Because he knows things. Things he shouldn’t. Behind the government’s polished image lies a hidden system—one that abducts the world’s most dangerous individuals, erases their memories, and forces them into controlled environments known as “instances.” Places where identities are stripped. Where people are turned into experiments. Where the dead… don’t always stay dead. Officially, He is one of them. Declared dead. Erased from the public world. And yet— he stands ruins left by the god. Alive. Watching. Playing his own game. Realizing the scale of what he’s stepped into, the protagonist abandons patience. Instead of waiting, he accelerates his plan—launching an attack on a government facility tied to the system. It’s a move that was meant to seal his fate. Captured and “executed”, he becomes the epitome of punishment to those who desire . But the government doesn’t waste what it can use. His death isn’t an end. It’s a transition. When he awakens again, it’s not in the world he tried to destroy— but inside it. An instance. No memories. No identity. Only fragments. A lingering sense of purpose. A name he can’t recall. A sister he’s forgotten. And somewhere within the system— a man who was supposed to be a chess piece… but was never one to begin with. and a broad ear to ear grin

Allison Croft has spent three years hiding her identity as the daughter of billionaire tycoon Adrian Croft, determined to prove she can build success without her powerful family name. Working from the bottom at Morrison Empire, she becomes the quiet force behind the company’s rising golden heir, Anthony Morrison. She falls in love with him, believes she marries him, and gives him her loyalty, intelligence, and labor. Then she learns the truth. Anthony is already legally married—to his mistress, Sharon. The courthouse marriage he staged with Allison was never real. Worse, he has been stealing Allison’s work for years while letting his family humiliate her in private. When he publicly tries to disgrace her at a high-profile Morrison dinner, Allison turns the event into his downfall. In front of Boston’s elite, she reveals proof of his fraud, exposes the fake marriage, and shocks everyone by stepping into her real identity as Adrian Croft’s daughter. But Allison’s revenge is only the beginning. Waiting on the other side of her collapse is Lucian Calloway, a billionaire heir from one of the most powerful families in the country. Calm, strategic, and impossible to intimidate, Lucian has wanted Allison ever since she once saved his cousin years ago and disappeared before he could find her again. What begins as a dynastic arranged marriage between the Crofts and the Calloways quickly becomes something far more dangerous—because Lucian does not want Allison as an alliance. He wants her as his wife, and he is brutally honest about it. As Allison tries to rebuild her life, her enemies do not disappear. Anthony spirals and refuses to let go. Sharon becomes both witness and liability. And Vivienne Laurent-Cassel, Lucian’s elegant and jealous childhood friend, secretly pumps money into Anthony’s survival just to keep Allison from winning too easily. In a world of billionaires, hidden agendas, private villas, social warfare, and corporate sabotage, Allison must decide whether she can trust peace after surviving betrayal—and whether the marriage that began as strategy might become the first real love she has ever known.

My world was simple: there was the Pack, and there was the Prey. I am Athel James Thorne, born a hunter, forged into a weapon to exterminate the blood-drinking scourge that festers in the realm of Athelgard. As a high-born Wolf and elite Hunter, I am the law of the Thorne Pack, and I can track a vampire through a blizzard, scent a succubus’s lie from miles away, and end them all the same way, blade, fire, ash. Until the night I met Crown Prince Malakor Vane. To my kin, he smells of silver and pine, the clean, distant scent of royalty. But up close, beneath the alchemical masks and the suffocating illusion of purity, there is something else. Something wrong and forbidden, and it clings to him, thick, intoxicating, ancient. The scent of crushed pomegranates and storm-charged air. The unmistakable sweetness of a succubus and something darker still. A vampire, a shifter, and an abomination. The very thing I was born to destroy is hidden at the heart of the throne, and so I make it my mission to expose him. To rip away his mask and to drag the truth into the light and let the King see his son for what he truly is. The closer I get, the more my instincts betray me and the urge to kill him tangles with something deeper. Wilder and possessive, and my wolf does not want him dead, and it wants him claimed. As the Wild-Zones stir and the shadows close in, I am forced to face a truth more terrifying than any monster I’ve ever hunted, and I would burn the kingdom to the ground before I let another hunter touch him. Will this bond be our salvation or our ruin?

“Unlucky” would be the nice way to describe Lucas’ luck. He wasn’t just down bad. He was practically cursed. As someone who never asked to exist, he’s had to experience medical torture, imprisonment, and eventually death. And that was just his first life. Then, just as he thought of escaping his fate, he transmigrates into the body of the Empire’s most useless Flower Vase. Great, now he should have status, wealth, and beauty, right? Wrong. Because his new body, Young Lord Luca Kyros, was a vegetable. And what’s worse was that no one else seemed to know the truth. To everyone else, he was just your typical rebellious heir. He wouldn’t have minded that. He was used to being called a harlot or similar names for being a defective Guide. But the problem was he woke up right smack in the middle of the Royal Military Academy’s Assessment test. And his double body, the one who should be attending school, perished in an ambush. So now, he’s forced to resolve his existential crisis while attending a school he never even enrolled in. He’ll have to conquer his flimsy body, his brooding roommate, and his picky-eater “dungeon”—all that on top of surviving impending doom. Someone definitely needs a miracle.

Many years ago, a boy's family was massacred by humans as they suspected his family practiced witchcraft which was not accepted among the people. He was traumatized and lived in fear after all the people he loved died. He feared love. Afraid that if he ends up loving anyone again, they will be taken away from him. So he became rogue, merciless, unable to control and his hate for humans grew day by day. His power made him a King whom no one dared to disobey. He had both power and looks and his looks made him a walking "temptation". He was stoic and had turned off his feelings of love and mercy. Mirabelle, a young madien who was placed on a curse at a young age. The curse was placed on her to pay for her father's sins and she was only meant to be free from the curse after a man falls in love with her. But who can fall in love with a blind girl?

Family is a luxury not everyone can afford. Adelyn learned that the day Clara returned to the Scott family —and she quietly stopped belonging. No one abused her. No one hurt her openly. But the love that was once hers alone became divided. The attention that once chose her … became something she had to borrow. And whenever something precious stood between her and Clara —Adelyn was the one asked to let go. Not once. Not twice. But every single time. Her dreams. Her choices. Her place in the family. Her heart didn’t break in a single moment —it wore down slowly … until nothing remained worth fighting for. So, she erased herself from their world. Not in anger. Not in revenge. But to save what little of herself was left. ————— Seven years later, Adelyn returned. Not for the Scott family. Not for their love. She came back for the dreams she was once forced to abandon —and this time, nothing would be taken from her. No compromises. No sacrifices. Only her life. Her rules. She breathed in freedom. “No family…no shackles.” But just then— Two small arms wrapped around her legs. She stiffened. Looking down, she met a pair of familiar doe eyes staring up at her with unwavering trust. “Mama … Eira waited long for you. Don’t leave again.” …Mama? Before she could understand or react, a tall shadow fell over them. A man stood there —gaze sharp, cold, claiming —looking at her like she had belonged to him. “You dared to show up again?” Adelyn felt clueless. She would have asked him what he meant, however — Before she could speak — the ground vanished beneath her feet. A powerful arm lifted her effortlessly. “Since you dared …” his voice dropped —low, restrained, dangerous. “Don’t think of escaping again.

One minute, Penelope is laying in a hospital bed accepting her fate, and the next she transmigrated into a post-apocalyptic novel. What? The opening scene was a famous one where she drugged the male lead and plotted against him. The male lead hated the original owner and wanted to kill her. First Step: Stay away from the male lead. Second Step: Stay away from the female lead. Easy, right? Wrong. Why are both leads determined to be around me?

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.” **** Per Golden Ticket = 5 extra chapters

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

He saved her… but never planned to set her free. Aria thought betrayal was the worst pain she could feel until she met Rafael. After discovering Lucas’s true intentions, Aria walks away from love and straight into revenge. That’s when Rafael appears powerful, dashing and impossible to resist. He helps her destroy the man who broke her… but in return, he slowly takes control of her world. What begins as protection turns into possession. What feels like safety becomes a cage.

An exiled princess, a dying general, and a betrayal that shatters the one alliance that could have saved them—Eirian Soliel refuses to be forgotten, even as the kingdom turns against her. Once the dazzling darling of the Court of Sorrow, Eirian’s future is stolen when her father remarries and produces a male heir. Cast aside and exiled into a political marriage at the empire’s volatile border, she expects to disappear quietly into irrelevance. Instead, she finds Chenzhou. Quiet, honorable, and already dying from a mysterious poison no one can name, Chenzhou has no interest in court politics—or in the wife forced upon him. But Eirian is not a woman who fades. As she pushes her magic into the land, restoring a dying estate, she begins to uncover the truth behind his illness—and the enemies gathering around them. It is through Chenzhou that she meets Mingzhe, a trusted figure from the court and one of the few men who moves easily between worlds. What begins as cautious cooperation grows into something rare: a fragile bond of trust between three people navigating power, loyalty, and survival in a court that has already discarded them. Together, they begin to rebuild—strengthening the borderlands, stabilizing Chenzhou’s condition, and quietly resisting the forces working against them. But the deeper Eirian digs, the clearer the truth becomes. Chenzhou’s illness is no accident. It is the foundation of a long-buried conspiracy within the powerful Yang family—one designed to reshape the empire itself. And Mingzhe, unknowingly entangled through years of quiet influence and misplaced trust, stands at the center of it. When that truth comes to light, the bond between them fractures. What began as loyalty becomes betrayal—not born of malice, but of manipulation—and its consequences threaten to destroy everything they have built. With war rising at the borders and treachery rooted deep within the court, Eirian and Chenzhou must decide whether trust can be rebuilt—or if survival demands something colder. Because the greatest danger is no longer the poison slowly killing her husband. It’s the truth that might finish what it started.

In a world divided by four lands, every soul is bound to where they belong. Paths are chosen, futures are decided, and nothing is meant to change. She belongs to Truth. And she is bound by Rule and Order. They meet like anyone else could, and they could have stayed apart. They should have-but they don't. They choose to stay, again and again. They were never meant to fall in love. Because in this world, it isn't who you love that's dangerous. It's choosing to love at all. And even knowing the cost, they never let go-they keep choosing each other.

Ayen used to be part of the Adrift Organization, a private company of guides. However, as he was the lowest of his entire batch, and it could even be said that he was barely considered an E-class Guide with a pathetic amount of energy that made him no different from a normal person, he was kicked out of the organization miserably. He didn’t have a choice but to apply to the Guides Association, which was managed by the government, and that only meant he was now both a civil servant and a member of the military. With a meager amount of energy, and as the lowest-level E-class Guide at that, no Esper had ever chosen him. No one with their right mind would really choose him. And five years later, at a certain forbidden zone, Ayen met Khal and Devion, two dangerous SS-class Espers. Two Espers that no guide could handle, and a Guide that no Esper had ever chosen. Two different situations and an unexpected discovery. #Guideverse. #GuideXEspers #poly #throuple #1v2 #R18 #3some
