Between my father’s greed and the Howards' suffocating arrogance, I’ve been backed into a corner and now, I’m fighting my way out. The marriage was a lie, but my revenge will be very real.

Becklan Kross had one dream, to become a model under Leon Verdanis, the ruthless fashion tycoon everyone called Mr. President. But Leon crushed that dream in seconds. Two minutes late, and Becklan was dismissed. One spilled coffee, and Leon humiliated him again in public. What once was admiration turned into pure, burning hatred. So when fate offered Becklan a second chance, not as a model, but as a maid in Leon’s mansion, he took it. Not for the salary. Not for the prestige. For revenge. But Leon Verdanis isn’t just cold. He’s inaccessible. Calculating. Beautiful in a way that hurts. A man who believes love is a weakness, emotions are distractions, and no human is worth his heart. Beck vows to break him.

A young princess has lived her whole life as the perfect figure—calm, obedient, and always fulfilling the duties expected of her. No one has ever asked what she truly wants. She simply followed the path laid out in front of her. Everything changes when the palace announces her engagement to the heir of a neighboring kingdom—a political marriage meant to secure power and protect the realm. To others, it is a blessed union. To her, it is a cage. Overwhelmed and voiceless, she locks herself away in her room, shutting out the world beyond the door. For the first time in her life, she begins to question who she really is—and whether she has ever lived for herself, or merely served the crown’s will. From the silence behind her chamber door, she must face a choice she can no longer avoid: accept the destiny chosen for her, or defy it and seize her own future, no matter the cost or consequence. Between fear and courage, a spark begins to burn— the determination to finally choose her own fate.

A story that follows Ruby, an outgoing girl, who has little self-awareness of herself and her duties, seeking some help from Inna a strict, rich, and uninteresting girl, who want to bring to her life more excitement, the thing that she sees in Ruby. What kind of development and challenges would this relationship face? and is this relationship going to benefit them all?

She was the girl nobody wanted, easy to overlook, easy to blame, and impossible to love. Growing up in her pack taught her early that she would always be the outsider. So she made herself a promise: keep her head down, survive the years, and walk away the moment she turned eighteen. But fate never plays fair. On the night she finally becomes an adult, her wolf awakens at last… and along with it, a mate bond she never asked for. And the mate fate chooses for her? The future Alpha. Her sister’s devoted fiancé. The boy who spent her entire childhood making sure she knew she didn’t belong. She hates him. Despises him. Wants absolutely nothing to do with him. But the bond has other plans. Suddenly, the Alpha-to-be, arrogant, sharp-tongued, and stubborn to the point of madness, can’t breathe without her. He’s furious that fate tied him to the girl he once broke… and even more furious that he can’t stay away from her now. She wants nothing but freedom. He wants her within reach. She keeps pushing him off. He keeps coming back. Because the one girl he never wanted has become the one his wolf refuses to live without. And as long-buried secrets surface, loyalties splinter, and unwanted feelings start to burn between them, one question lingers… Can something broken truly be rebuilt, or have they already crossed the point of no return?

Every love has a beginning. Theirs started with silence, distance, and rules that should have kept them apart. But walls crack, boundaries blur, and sometimes the person you're not supposed to need becomes the only one who keeps you standing. So how Y/N and Jennie went from strangers on opposite sides of the stage lights to something neither of them could let go .

He needed to stop, this wasn’t why he’d followed her. He had only wanted to finally speak with her about their arrangement. But his body wouldn’t let him– her flushed face sent ripples of hot need coursing right through him. A moan escaped her, shattering what little self control he maintained. —————— Six years ago, Gabrielle walked away from Edward Harrington with nothing but a broken heart and a secret growing inside her. Now she’s back— not for love, not for forgiveness, but because she has run out of choices. With a daughter to protect, a mother slipping away, and poverty closing in, Gabrielle steps into a world she no longer recognizes: Edward’s world. A world of wealth, power, quiet cruelty, and memories that refuse to stay buried. Edward is no longer the boy who once loved her. He is colder. Sharper. Untouchable. And he knows exactly how much power he holds. As past desire collides with present resentment, Gabrielle must survive a house where she doesn’t belong, a society that judges her at a glance, and a man who wants control more than reconciliation. But the most dangerous truth of all? Their past never ended. And their daughter is standing right between them. Love. Power. Humiliation. Desire. Revenge. In the Harrington estate, nothing is gentle—and nothing is free.

One minute, I'm Emily, a totally normal girl scrolling Webnovel in the middle of the night. The next? I wake up mid-escape, chained, soaked in rain, running for my life from slave traders. Turns out, I've been isekai'd into the body of Roxanne Valtoria, the illegitimate princess of the Crysvale Empire. Hidden bloodline? Check. Doomed to be framed as the empire's greatest villainess. Double check. And the cherry on top: executed by the cold, untouchable Duke who "saves" me first. In the novel I obsessed over, Roxanne is manipulated into cruelty by her jealous stepsister, Princess Arabella, the real schemer hiding behind sweet smiles and fake innocence. Blamed for deadly mana reductions, betrayed by everyone, and beheaded for treason. But I'm not going down like that. Armed with plot knowledge and zero chill, I'll flip the script: expose the true villain, awaken my imperial power, and survive the duke's icy gaze. Who knew changing a death flag could come with a groveling duke, endless pampering, and a throne I never asked for?

A prideful snake who bowed to no one—until he became a jealous husband. A snow tiger beast warrior feared and respected, reduced to an obedient husband. A wolf chief known as a Casanova, who never stayed—until he chose loyalty. And a selfish merman who learned generosity for the first time, expecting nothing in return for his prized possession. All of them changed after meeting one woman... After sniffing in an impossible scent. Her name is Arinya. …And unfortunately for this world, that’s me, haha. *** I wrote a book once. It was an unhinged fantasy born from my high-school brain, driven by loneliness and too many hormones. It was a world of beastmen, wild freedom, and the kind of romantic attention I could never get in real life. I poured every impossible desire into it: adventure, danger, and yes… a 'lot' of handsome partners. Before I knew it, I had a thousand chapters of pure escapism and pure thrill. Then on a college camping trip, I fell off a cliff. I expected to wake up in a hospital room but nope. I woke up on a soft field of grass, with air too fresh to belong anywhere on Earth. And then something moved behind me. Sticking out of my tailbone was... A tail. My tail? Yellow and black stripes and very, very real. I touched it. Completely real. My ears? Also gone—well, moved. They were now perched on top of my head like a confused jungle cat. And the outfit? Quite revealing, made of animal hide which matched my tail. What was going on? At first, I thought it was a prank. Or a dream. Or maybe karma is finally cashing in. But the more foreign memories evaded my mind, the clearer my situation became. This wasn't cosplay and it wasn't Earth, either. And—surprise—it wasn't even the world from my own book. Welp. I had been transported into a completely different Beastman world as a beast girl called Arinya. Sounds fun, right? Well… it would be, if I weren't apparently the ugliest duckling in the entire freaking savannah! Rejected by every potential mate I stumbled across and sneered at like a freaking eyesore. This was not how I planned my fantasy to come to reality. Trust me—if this is my fantasy come true, then someone needs to fire the author. But then again, after entering this world, I'm suddenly... Attractive. I mean, there's no change to my face and the freckles are still there, but for some reason, handsome beastmen begin to flock around me, wanting to be my mate because I smell... Pleasant. What's that all about?
