Rosemary feels like a wilted flower in her father’s court. Born into a society that places power on a pedestal, her frail body and weak angelic powers only earn scorn from her fellow nobles and icy contempt from her father.

“Ruling is the duty of oversight, to oversee instead of create. To govern instead of live. It came with power and prestige, with obligation and responsibility. Soldiers fought and farmers farmed, but to be King is to rule. To maintain the illusion of power one’s forefathers had built. Marcus didn’t care for any of it. He saw magic when he first opened his eyes, and nothing else ever compared. But the King is old and he an only child. Decisions had to be made. Important, hard decisions. No one expected much of him. Not in regards to anything but magic. They were right not to. Until the cube. Until it taught him what life meant for people not born into nobility, and that all his skill with the arcane did not make him immortal. That running from problems did not, in fact, make them go away. Marcus Sepsimus Lannoy—Marcus to the friends he did not have—touched something he should not have on the day he planned to run from his problems.” Inspiration taken from The Menocht Loop, A Practical Guide to Evil and everything else I have ever read in my life. But mostly the first two, though not overly much from either. Concepts and the like. I hope to do them justice. Am I rambling? I feel like I’m rambling.

Every royal bride dies on her wedding night—except her. When she survives, the kingdom whispers that she is the curse itself. Men who marry her do not live, and fear turns allies into enemies. Yet when the empire’s most feared warlord volunteers to marry her, the world braces for another funeral. He does not die. Because the curse is not what it seems. It does not kill husbands—only the men she does not love. Every heartbeat, every whispered word, every stolen glance becomes a matter of life and death. As political intrigue, assassinations, and divine intervention escalate, the bride must navigate an empire built on fear, power, and tradition—while protecting the man who fears nothing but losing her. But the curse evolves with her choices, and the gods themselves begin to intervene, threatening to destroy not just the kingdom, but reality itself. In a world where marriage determines life, love becomes the deadliest weapon. Survive the wedding night, master the curse, and face the ultimate question: Can love exist without fear? From surviving bride to empress, from mortal danger to divine rebellion, this epic saga spans generations, testing loyalty, trust, and the boundaries of the heart in a tale where emotional truth shapes the world itself.

Aurelia Caelistra was born to rule: brilliant, cold, and certain that the Caelistra name would secure her place among Aramont's greatest mages. But the Arcane Academy humiliates her on the first day when Kael Arden, a quiet, commoner scholarship-born prodigy bests her in a public duel. The loss shatters her certainty and exposes a gap Aurelia never thought possible: Kael sees Aether as threads to be read, not flames to be flaunted. As whispers spread and nobles scoff, Aurelia's pride hardens into determination. She refuses to be defined by a single defeat. But Kael keeps his past hidden and his motives close. His brilliance may burn as bright as hers or burn everything down. In a kingdom where magic and bloodlines shape destiny, Aurelia must learn whether legacy is a cage or a ladder, and whether the most dangerous power is the one you refuse to see.

Virellion is a kingdom that has been shaped by the three pillars, magic, hierarchy, and controland the one who knows it the most is the Crown Prince Kael Dravaryn. Since his childhood, Kael has been cursed with a dangerous, ancient fire that thrives on emotion and power. As a result, he has been working on self, control for many years. To his people, he appears to be calm, strong, and inaccessible. The ruling council sees him not only as their future king but also as a risky factoran instrument that can be directed, kept under surveillance, and, if needed, locked up. If the demon inside him is ever unleashed, it will not only kill him. It will also wipe out the entire kingdom. Lyra Vale has nothing to do with palace schemes. She keeps her head down, works at the Moonbrew Caf, and tries not to notice the odd vibration within hera presence she has never understood. She has no magic. At least, she doesn't know any. What she does have is a gut feeling to hold her ground even when the threat is life, threatening. When Kael becomes violent in a containment chamber and Lyra naturally goes out to him, the utterly unexpected happens: the curse backs off. The fire listens. Their bond is there right from the start, disturbing, and undeniable. Lyra is the only one who can keep Kaels magic from going out of controlnot by making it stronger but by opposing it. His power devours, hers counteracts. Where his curse twists, hers calms. The ruling council promptly starts to feel that something has changed. And in a kingdom where power is taken, not handed over, Lyra turns into more than just a girl with a freakshe turns into a tool. A danger. A fix. Kael and Lyra, who have been thrown together, try to figure out what Lyra's power is and where Kael's curse came from. What they find is way before the throne: the flame in Kael was never meant to be tamed by one person only. It had to be paired with a partneran opposite force that was forgotten in history. Lyra is not a mishap. She is the other half of the ancient harmony that was lost. While the council veer towards absolute confrontation, and the rumor of uprising permeates the city, Kael is standing at a crossroad: Will he continue to be a mere instrument of the kingdom's willor will he go against centuries of domination to save the one who has brought him back to life? Unfortunately, equilibrium requires giving up something. And if smashing the spell equates to smashing the throne Virellion is going to be faced with the dilemma of choosing between its crown prince and the flame which was never destined to be its ruler.

To claim the crown, Aurelia must win the heart of the man who has never been hers—before the equinox steals everything.

"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.” ...... Chapters lock on 24th February. Mass release on 1st March, then two chapters daily going forward.

Snow bites deeper than steel, and cages leave scars no eyes can see. Q97 is not a boy with a name—he is a number, an experiment carved from cruelty in the underground labs by vampires. In a world where hybrids are treated as disposable tools, his only hope is escape. Guided by the secret writings of those who came before him, he follows a path dug by rabbits and buried in whispers, chasing freedom through tunnels that lead toward human lands. But freedom has a price: the moment he crosses the border, he can never return. Never again to the castle’s red spires. Never again to the rose garden. Never again to the one vampire who gave him warmth when the world froze him numb. Sir Draven—the quiet gardener with golden eyes who carved clumsy little sculptures of ice just for him. Roses that melted by morning. A kindness that should not have existed. A memory Q97 cannot take with him, yet cannot leave behind. This is not a story of quick love or easy salvation. It is a slow journey of survival, longing, and fragile bonds that burn against the cold. A tale for those who believe that even in the darkest experiments, even under cages and snow, a single rose can bloom. ***** This is a slowburn, character-driven story. If you love emotional depth, healing & growing arcs, and found-family themes, this is for you. Stick around past chapter 10, that's when the heart of the story begins to unfold. Warning: mpreg, almost all male experiments have wombs. Please proceed with caution if you are uncomfortable. Romance will start when MC is older, Thank you ^^

In an empire where silence is law and beauty is political property, gifted women are claimed as sacred “Relics” — ceremonial figures believed to anchor the stability of the throne. When Lianhua is publicly seized under the Quiet Mandate, she does not scream. She observes. Trained within the Veiled Court, she learns that Relics are not honored — they are contained. Draped in silk, worshiped in ritual, but stripped of autonomy, these women serve as symbolic vessels through which the empire binds faith, fear, and obedience. Yet Lianhua quickly realizes something others do not: The empire does not draw strength from the Relics. It depends on them. Assigned four elite enforcers — known as the Black Hands — she begins her quiet rebellion not with blades, but with study. She memorizes doctrine. She deciphers ceremonial language. She watches the fractures in the men assigned to guard her. The Loyalist believes order prevents chaos. The Blade believes strength justifies control. The Scholar believes history defines truth. The Silent One believes nothing at all. Slowly, carefully, Lianhua begins altering small ritual phrases during sacred ceremonies. A word here. A pause there. A symbolic gesture that shifts meaning without breaking law. The people begin whispering. As noble factions compete for influence, the Emperor himself notices her growing impact. Threatened yet intrigued, he offers her a position closer to power — one that could secure her survival at the cost of her autonomy. But Lianhua has already discovered the empire’s most guarded secret: Relics are not symbols of control. They are emotional anchors. If one falls publicly, unrest spreads like fire. If one defies expectation, belief begins to crack. The throne is not protected by armies. It is protected by narrative. And she has learned how to rewrite it. As tensions rise, the Black Hands begin to fracture under the weight of their loyalty. Alliances shift. Rituals become battlegrounds. Love grows in spaces where obedience once lived. When the empire attempts to silence her permanently, it faces an unexpected truth: punishing her may collapse the very belief system that sustains the throne. In a final ceremonial confrontation mirroring the day she was claimed, Lianhua steps forward not as property — but as ideological power. The empire must choose: Destroy her and risk chaos. Or change. The Court of Silken Chains is a dark historical fantasy about ownership, belief, and the quiet, devastating strength of a woman who learns that true rebellion begins in language, not war.
