They called him a monster. They were right. But monsters are born when love becomes stronger than reason. Rudra Singhaniya has finally embraced what he was always meant to be — the villain of his own story. For his wife, Anaya, he would destroy empires, drown kingdoms in fire, and rewrite fate itself. To love her is his blessing. To lose her… his curse. But in the darkness he rules, another shadow rises — a man equally obsessed, equally damned. The true enemy of the Singhaniya and Malhotra bloodline, a reflection of everything Rudra could have become — ruthless, unbound, and madly in love with the same woman. Between them stands Anaya — the only light powerful enough to make gods bleed and devils bow. And when two obsessions collide, love will no longer save anyone… It will consume them all. Because this time, it isn’t about right or wrong — it’s about who burns brighter in the end. The hero… or the villain.

[Pure historical • Genius scholar & mute-to-miracle bride • Farming fluff • HE] Five taels of silver—that’s all Wen Wan’s stepmother needs to sell her to a crippled widower. She refuses. Armed with a twig and a fearless smile, Wen Wan corners the village’s unluckiest scholar among the sorghum and writes in the dirt: Marry me. I’ll turn your fate. Song Sanlang reads the line, looks at the girl, and says one quiet word: “Yes.” From that moment, luck flips. Barren fields grow gold, debts vanish, and the mute bride slowly finds her voice—first in whispers, then in laughter, and finally in the cries of their first child. A timeless rural romance where a bargain marriage becomes a fortune, and the softest voice reshapes an entire village’s destiny.

It was supposed to be her sister's wedding night, but she was schemed by her biological mother, drugged, and sent into her 'soon-to-be brother-in-law's' wedding car. When they first met, the man in the wheelchair was as dignified and cold as rumored. Just because she approached him slightly, he grabbed her neck, nearly choking her to death. 'A woman marrying into the Fu family must rely on herself to survive, understand?' She nodded frantically, thinking that carefully pleasing him would allow them to live respectfully and peacefully like guests for a lifetime. Yet in the nights and days of accompanying him, she was thoroughly consumed, step by step falling into the trap he had long set. In this life, there is no escape; in this love, it moves the heart.

When Quinn must choose to become the umpteenth concubine of a cruel nobleman, or the wife of the cold-hearted general from her past.

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer

A rooftop fall was not the end—it was the beginning of another world. In modern-day China, powerful career woman Ai Mu and her obsessive, deeply devoted husband Gu Liang plunge to their deaths after a devastating confrontation. But their souls do not vanish. Instead, they awaken in a parallel world ruled by reversed gender norms—the matriarchal empire of Great Feng. Ai Mu becomes the noble heiress of the Ai royal household, wielding status and power. Determined to break free from the shadows of her past, she seeks true autonomy. Gu Liang, now the disgraced son of a fallen official, finds himself stripped of honor—but more desperate than ever to possess her.

Gu Liang wants fusion and dominance, using weakness as his strategy. From subtle tests to forced bonds, from manipulation to reluctant alliance, two souls from another world are locked in a brutal dance of love, hate, control, and redemption. Can they escape the whirlpool of power and emotion to find a way beyond obsession and fear? Is this rebirth a curse—or their only salvation?

She thought changing her name would be enough. She thought becoming “Alex” instead of Maya would keep her safe. But survival means more than hiding—it means living a lie every single day.

Silver Preston was supposed to be America’s next figure skating sweetheart—until a brutal injury shattered her Olympic dreams and left her stranded at Yale, miles away from the ice that defined her. All she wants is to stay invisible, to escape the suffocating grip of her former coach-mother, and to outrun the whispers that she’s finished. But Yale hockey isn’t quiet, and neither is Eli Hayes—the team’s captain, campus golden boy, and infuriatingly unreadable. To Silver, he’s arrogant, cold, and everything she swore she’d avoid. To Eli, she’s reckless, stubborn, and a distraction he can’t afford. Their worlds were never meant to collide—except the rink has a way of pulling broken people back onto the ice. When gossip turns cruel and secrets from the past threaten to destroy her for good, Silver is forced to decide whether she’ll keep running or fight for the life—and the love—she thought she lost. And as Eli battles his own demons under the unforgiving glare of NHL scouts, their fragile connection becomes the one thing that could save them both…or break them completely. Full of sharp banter, late-night study sessions, stolen glances at the rink, and the electric push-pull of enemies who might be more, this is a story of ambition, redemption, and the thin line between pride and passion.
