The Valerith Empire claims it is protected by holy saints. That’s funny, considering how disposable people are here. I’m Lior Valen, second son of a Viscount—which is a polite way of saying I’m excess. Well dressed. Well educated and easily sacrificed. I also have a secret that would get me ruined if spoken aloud: I like men. I know this because I’ve lived once before, in a modern world where loving the wrong person didn’t come with a death sentence. That experience taught me an important lesson. Live quietly. Don’t stand out. Survive. Unfortunately, a masquerade ball ruined my entire plan. Because all terrible decisions are made at masquerade balls, someone suggested a game of truth and dare. I accepted a dare. I kissed a stranger. This was, in hindsight, a mistake. Because the stranger was the Monster of the North. Ruler of Skeldryn. Alleged executioner. A man rumored to kill anyone who touches him. I touched him. He did not kill me—which was unexpected. Instead, the monster became interested. Possessively so. He dragged me north, away from a lover who had already replaced me and a court that was more than happy to let me go. I followed—not out of courage, loyalty, or love. I followed because I enjoy being alive. Now I’m in Skeldryn, where saints are unreachable and monsters are persistent, and I’m beginning to suspect that surviving his attention might require more than luck. And possibly an exit strategy.

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!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning.

Even after years, she couldn’t heal or forgive herself for that incident. That accident completely changed her life. It became her deepest trauma. For Noah, however, it was completely different.

If he had asked her to walk into the fire with him right then, to tumble willingly into chaos, she would have said yes without hesitation.

Vee squeezed her eyes shut, nails digging into his arm as she clung to him, her breath rattling in her chest.

This story is not as gruesome or violent as regular Chinese stuff here, because I'm European, so it is kind of easy to read but it still has hot content, twists and an interesting storyline. The setting ranges from ancient, medieval to almost modern. I had to move this book to novels as it is not fanfic, I made the mistake with the settings and I will keep updating there as well for you who have been reading here for some time. This story in the novels is called Woman with the Tiger eyes in the Beast Warrior's World. Thank you so much for reading. Also this is uncontracted story, so enjoy the free reading:-)

Within seconds, she is erased. But instead of disappearing forever, she wakes up one minute before her deletion. Now she knows the truth — she isn’t just living a life. She’s living inside a story. A story controlled by readers, editors, and something far more dangerous hiding behind the narrative. The problem? Every time she tries to change her fate, the timeline resets. Every time she fights back, the system pushes harder. And the male lead — the one who was supposed to love her — might remember more than he should. This time, she won’t stay soft. This time, she won’t stay silent. And if breaking the story is the only way to survive… Then she’ll rewrite it. Even if it means tearing the narrative apart.
