"In this life, my wedding dress was meant to be my shroud, and the man at the altar, my executioner." I woke up inside the pages of a tragic novel as Cherise, a minor character destined to be the sacrificial lamb. According to the original plot, my role was simple: marry the "Blood Duke," Galen, and die at his hands on our wedding night to trigger his transformation into the world’s ultimate villain. But as I stand at the altar, looking into Galen’s cold, soul-piercing eyes, I realize I’m not ready to let the curtains close on my life just yet. To survive, I must play the part of the "Fragile Bride" perfectly. I use my pale skin and trembling hands to stir a protectiveness in Galen that he didn’t know he possessed. However, the palace is a viper’s nest. My rival, Elena, is determined to see me dead, going as far as "gifting" me the cursed Phoenix wedding dress—a garment tied to Galen’s darkest trauma. One wrong move, and the dress won't just be a fashion statement; it will be my shroud. Now, I am caught in a lethal game of obsession and secrets. Galen is starting to look at me not as a sacrifice, but as a woman he’d burn the world to keep. Can I unravel the mystery of the Fénix and tame the villain’s heart, or will my "fragility" be the very thing that shatters under the weight of his dark love?

My father sold me to settle a gambling debt. I didn’t know until the man I’d been serving coffee to for two months pulled out my chair at a brunch table in Vail. An engagement clause with my name on it, signed eight weeks ago without my knowledge. My father couldn’t look at me. Cole Ashford couldn’t stop looking. Cole is the CEO of Palisade and leader of the 303. He bought my father’s debt in one night. He told him the clause was worthless before the ink dried—and let him sign it anyway. He knows my lease, my coffee, my life. He broke into my apartment while I was in Vail and left a cup of coffee brewed exactly the way I brew it, still warm when I walked through the door. I hated him. I hated more the way my body wouldn’t agree. His voice landed behind my ribs and spread where it had no business spreading. His gaze dropped to my mouth and I felt it on my skin for hours. The most dangerous man in Denver looked at me like I was the only thing his empire couldn’t buy. I wanted to burn the part of me that responded. I built Treeline from three years of tips and a lease in Union Station. Now I’m discovering the ground beneath it was his before I laid the first brick—engineered by a man who doesn’t take what he wants. He builds a world where what he wants walks in on its own. But every touch he takes gives him nothing. Granite and ice. Every touch I choose to give him changes everything. He thinks he claimed me. He’s wrong. The only version of me worth having walks in on her own. And I haven’t decided yet.

I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!"

He's dying... And never know he still has the strength to moan until Lucian Vale walks into his life. The cold, untouchable billionaire CEO with a flawless image, Rowan Donovan has six months left to live. Rowan has never desired a man. Never imagined wanting one. Never questioned who he was—until one day, he encounters a distinctively strange man, Lucian Vale. Lucian looks at him like he already knows how Rowan tastes. Lucian is sin dressed as a smile. Too bold. Too close. Too aware of the way Rowan stiffens when their bodies brush, the way his breath hitches when Lucian’s voice drops lower, slower, deliberate. Rowan tells himself it’s stress. Curiosity. A lapse in control. But his body doesn’t lie. He reacts to Lucian in ways he never has before- hard, desperate, undone. He moans for a man whose touch feels dangerous and addictive, whose hands don’t ask permission before taking what Rowan never knew he could give. What starts as secret nights meant to silence curiosity turns into something darker and deeper: need, craving, surrender. And somewhere between sweat-soaked sheets and whispered breaths, Rowan realizes the most terrifying truth of all— he doesn’t just want Lucian’s body. He wants to live. But Lucian is hiding something. Did Lucian just come to make the dying CEO moan before his death… or to decide whether he deserves to survive?

She was born a princess and raised as an exile. He was raised to be a prince, but he never truly belonged. Two secrets. Two lies. One marriage pact that will set the world on fire. Reina “Rei” Draven was switched at birth—ripped from her royal lineage and forced into an aristocratic household that never claimed her. Branded a disgrace and cast out as a teen, she disappeared into the underbelly of the world and rebuilt herself into the one thing they never expected—the ruthless, untouchable Queen of the Underworld. The mafia lord with a blood-forged crown. Finn Monreau grew up knowing he wasn't a real Monreau. He was a child traded between families, a temporary heir with an expiration date. Before the dynasty could discard him, Finn quietly created a second identity—a hidden business magnate, richer and more powerful than the family that bought him. Both betrayed. Both abandoned. Both ruled their empires, built from the ashes of their stolen childhoods. When a political crisis erupts and threatens both their networks, Finn and Rei are forced into a marriage pact—a union meant to stabilize their worlds, not ignite them. However, forced proximity reveals the truth that neither party expected: They are each other’s only equal. They become each other’s only weakness. And each other’s salvation. And as their double lives collide—royal blood, billionaire power, and criminal empires—they uncover a destiny set in motion long before they were born. Enemies become allies. Allies become lovers. Lovers become the most dangerous pair the world has ever seen. In a world built on lies, their love is the one truth powerful enough to destroy—or save—the kingdoms they were destined to rule.

A Love Born in Lies A love born in silence. A past buried in shadows. A heart caught between truth and illusion. --- I don’t remember who I was. Not the girl in the mirror. Not the life I left behind. All I know is this mansion… And him—Professor. My husband. Cold. Untouchable. Mysterious. A man who says I belong to him… Yet looks at me like he’s already lost me. He doesn’t smile. He barely speaks. But the way he watches me— Like he's guarding something he’s terrified to break— it haunts me more than the gaps in my memory. Then come the fragments. A sister’s voice. A forgotten diary. A flower shop. A crash. And the moment I start to remember… everything starts to fall apart. --- What if the man I live with is part of the lie? What if the truth is more dangerous than the illusion I’m living in? What if… the love I’m falling into is the one thing I was meant to escape?

It has huge amounts of money enough for you to get rid of that.”   Lucas stretched his hand forward towards April to receive the card but tears instead gathered in her eyes while staring at the black card in between his fingers.  “That? But— This is your child.” April’s eyes already flood with tears.  “I won’t repeat myself; I have nothing to do with it. Just get rid of it and live your life, the money is enough to keep your family happy for years to come.”  April raised her head staring at his cold eyes before giving any response.  “I guess all men are the same then, a rogue, pathetic and heartless human.” April in a hoarse voice as the tears couldn’t stop but instead flooded more.  “I never intended for this to happen; I kept it for a reason. Sort yourself out, you don’t want to ruin your future, do you?”   Lucas spoke in his cold voice before slamming the card on the table as he strode out in long stride with his secretary behind him.  “You heartless man, I hate you!” April ran out the door screaming at his back with tears in her eyes.  Lucas didn’t turn back or even blink an eyelid to think about what she said.  PS: Cover Photo doesn’t belong to me.

She died choking on bubble tea while hate-reading a terrible webnovel. She woke up as the villain. Specifically, Lian Yuying—the cruel, beautiful villainess of "Immortal Sword of Destiny" who bullies the heroine, embarrasses herself over the male lead, and gets thrown off a cliff by her own family in Chapter 87. She transmigrated into Chapter 3. She has eighty-four chapters to not die. The problem? She has the physical grace of a drunk giraffe, can't remember a single martial arts move, and her attempts at being a cold elegant ice beauty keep getting derailed by her tendency to crash through roofs, accidentally win duels using TikTok choreography, and befriend everyone she was supposed to destroy. Now she has a stoic sword cultivator who is absolutely not developing feelings for her (he's just standing where she's about to fall, professionally), a Demon Lord who accepted her rejection to his proposal and gave her a piece of his soul energy and called it practical (it's not practical), and a faulty system that started her survival rate at 1% and updates it with deeply unhelpful commentary. Oh. And someone who knows this world is a story is sending her threatening notes. No pressure. Wrong body. Wrong story. Right choice.
