Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

Velvet Chains: Transmigrated to a Forced Marriage with an Elven Prince

It was a moment, one heroic act, one flash—and Ashton found himself in a world that shouldn’t exist—but somehow, it does. Probably. Confused, shocked, terrified for his life, he accepts the role fate and the queen have thrust upon him: to pretend to be a woman and marry the prince. Before he can catch his breath, they’re already leading him to the bridal chamber… „Ashton felt a tightness in his throat. He shivered. It was a man. Fully. In every way. And he was going to spend the night with him. Only now did it hit him, with brutal clarity, what this scene meant—this bed, these rose petals, the dress, the veil. He’d known before, but he hadn’t really understood what was about to happen. He’d still thought it was a dream, but when he saw the prince… Ashton’s body reacted first. His muscles tightened instinctively. His thighs clenched. His fingers dug into the silk of the skirt. In a moment, he was going to lose his anal virginity. Anal virginity. Words he’d never even thought in his mind before, now exploded in his head like a sentence. The man was beautiful. That was true. His presence pulled at the eye, magnetic and heavy like a storm. But beauty didn’t soften the fact that he was a man. And Ashton was one too. This whole situation had nothing to do with fantasy, nothing to do with a game, nothing to do with desire. It was a calculation for survival. Escape. The thought flickered like a spark. The door. The guards. The walls. Blood on marble. Fear extinguished it immediately. If he wanted to live, he had to surrender. In a panic, he began scanning the room. Wasn’t there anyone who could save him? Of course not! Who in this world would care about his fate? The man approached the bed and sat on the edge. The mattress sank under his weight. Ashton felt the shift beneath him. He bit his lower lip. The prince’s hand rose slowly, touching his shoulder. The touch was warm. Slow. Sensual. Ashton shuddered. THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING! Fear screamed in his head, heavier than concrete. The prince’s hand slid upward, toward his neck, then his cheek, as though testing the texture of new fabric. The man leaned in. He smelled like jasmine and amber. His breath brushed Ashton’s ear. “Relax,” he whispered softly. “I won’t do that to you. But I have to touch you in a few places. They’re watching. They have to see.” The words slid into him slowly. I won’t do that to you. The air rushed back into his lungs in a sudden, trembling breath. But could he trust him? Maybe the prince just wanted to calm him down because he didn’t like drama in the bedroom? Ashton swallowed hard.

Ghost in the palace

Ananya never expected death to bring her into another life. One moment, she was running her parents’ restaurant in the modern world. The next, she opened her eyes in silk robes, surrounded by hostile stares — the Queen Consort of the empire. But this body was cursed in everyone’s eyes. The Emperor loathed her. The mistress laughed at her. And the court whispered behind her back. Only she wasn’t truly alone. > “Finally, someone can see us!” “What kind of Queen Consort are you, so calm even with ghosts in your chamber?” “Shut up, Wei Rong, let her breathe. She looks like she’s about to faint.” Three ghosts — a stoic scholar, a brash general, and a mischievous noble girl — lingered at her side. They were invisible to all but her. And with them, she learned to survive the poisonous palace. When rumors spread that she was cursed, Ananya stood before the empire’s court. Instead of tears, she offered proof. Instead of fear, she offered dignity. > “If Heaven believes I am cursed, let the fire and smoke betray me. I will not hide.” And Heaven sided with her. Outside the palace, crises struck — starving soldiers, missing supplies, merchants growing fat from stolen grain. Inside, Lady Zhen, the Emperor’s favored mistress, grew bolder by the day, flaunting her beauty and mocking Ananya’s quiet grace. > “Sister, do you still dream of winning His Majesty’s heart? Look at you — plain, dull, unworthy.” “If simplicity is a crime, then let it be mine,” Ananya answered, unshaken. The Emperor indulged Lady Zhen openly… but in the silence of night, he tasted Ananya’s food, lingered at her table, and found himself unsettled by her calm. > “This is not palace fare,” he muttered. “It is lighter,” Ananya replied softly. “Easier to sleep after.” Step by step, conspiracy thickened. At a grand banquet, a poisoned cup was placed in Ananya’s hand. But a ghost’s laugh echoed in her ear — and the cup was swapped. A dancer collapsed instead. From that night on, the Emperor’s gaze changed. He began to notice the woman who never begged for favor, never fought for attention, yet always endured. Still, war brewed at the borders. Betrayals reached even the throne. Assassins crept through the palace halls. And the one person who seemed weakest became the calm at the center of the storm. Through whispered secrets, mischievous hauntings, and quiet resilience, Ananya carved her place in the empire. She would not simply survive. She would rise. And the Emperor who once despised her would one day whisper only her name.
