His lips hovered near her ear, his voice a dark whisper against her skin. "You may fear me, little bride, but I will teach your body to crave me… to need me, until I am all you ever want." --- Belle was never meant to be the bride. But when her parents cried to her about how her beautiful sister could not be married to such a man, she was forced to take her sister’s place. To prevent war between the two worlds of humans and vampires, the kings decided to sign a peace treaty with a marriage, but the only man they could offer for this marriage was a vampire said to be mad and completely heartless. When they said heartless, they meant really heartless, but Belle, being a naive girl her whole life, had no idea what she was stepping into by agreeing to this marriage. At first, he appeared innocent, a man completely opposite to all the rumors around him, until she slowly began to realize every single thing said about the mad vampire was true, or perhaps even worse! He was a man who walked in the path of darkness. He knew no light and showed no mercy, even to those who were not his enemies. He had no heart to love, no emotions but dark ones to feel for anything or anyone. But all of a sudden, when he set his eyes on her, he decided he wanted to keep her, and Belle's naive world began to take a different turn because the mad vampire was hellbent on tainting her innocent soul. Expect "Now, can we forget this happened and enjoy the night?" He arched an amused brow at her, making Belle's heart drop to her stomach as she recalled the so-called wedding night. She hurriedly pulled away from him, her face flaming with embarrassment. From everything she had heard about this night, she was not ready to experience it with this man. The women whispering about it in Mr. Marchant's shop had said one would hate their husband's presence after it and be disgusted by the act. It was not an act meant for pleasure for any woman but torture. Now that she realized her husband would do the same with her, she swallowed hard and nervously clutched her dress. "I...I am not feeling well, My Lord, I—" "Rohan," he cut her off with a tone of amusement. "Use my name when you address me, sweetheart. You looked quite energetic when you tried to go after the ring for someone who isn't feeling well, but," he sighed softly, "I've always been a generous man. I won't let you stress yourself tonight." Belle began to sigh in relief and smile in her mind that he wouldn't push her for the wedding night ceremony. She was even about to part her lips and agree that he was indeed generous and even offer him a thank you when he continued to speak, causing the momentary relief to be replaced by dread. "I will pamper you tonight, and you won’t have to lift a hand. I will give you all the pleasure since you are feeling unwell. Take it as the first lesson in my plan to make you forget love and welcome lust." "...!" "Lie on the bed for me, Isa." Belle felt her throat go dry at that strict command. "I...I..." She began but could not find any words to say to make him spare her tonight. What had she got herself into? Belle thought as a pit seemed to form in her stomach, a deep, gnawing dread. "Do you need me to carry you to the bed, or would you rather walk there yourself?" Rohan questioned with dark mirth in his voice and eyes as he watched her like a hawk. He could tell she was nervous, but what to do? She had brought herself into his world. Belle began to walk slowly to the bed at a snail’s pace, as if delaying it would help prevent the dreadful act from happening tonight. She could feel him following closely behind her. When she reached the bed, she used her shaky hands to move the drapes aside and carefully sat at the edge of it, her hands folded nervously on her lap. She felt his piercing gaze on her, but she dared not look up at him. "Lie down," he ordered softly. MATURE CONTENT, NO RAPE!!

By night, he's the shadow that demons fear—a masterless cultivator who walks between worlds, protecting mortals from supernatural threats they'll never know existed.

Kai Nakamura thought discovering his ghost-seeing abilities would finally give him purpose. Instead, his own family sold him out to the Sanctum—the elite tamer society that executed "defectives" like him who could see spirits but couldn't contract them. His fiancée Yuki watched him dragged to his death sentence and smiled. His best friend Ryo pocketed the blood money without flinching. Chained in the execution chamber, Kai made a desperate gamble: he called out to the one entity even the Sanctum feared—Nyx, the S-rank demon imprisoned for massacring an entire tamer clan. The contract shouldn't have worked. Defectives can't bond with anything, let alone the most dangerous demon in existence. But when Nyx's crimson eyes met his, something ancient and terrifying awakened in Kai's blood. He wasn't defective. He was Sovereign-class—the rarest tamer type, born once a century, capable of contracting entities that would devour normal tamers' souls.

His ex-fiancée is engaged to the Sanctum's golden boy. His former best friend leads the hunter squad that wants Kai's head. They thought they killed a defective nobody. They awakened a god.

Kaelen Voss promised her ascension, a life beyond the surveillance cameras and ration cards. She believed him—right up until he dragged her before the Tribunal, branded her a "genetic defect," and condemned her entire district to purging for his promotion. Left for dead in the ruins, Nyx awakens to something impossible: the Phantom Protocol, a forbidden hacker system that makes her invisible to the Panopticon. Now she can move through their perfect world like a ghost, unraveling their lies one encrypted file at a time. Five years later, she's the Shadow—a legendary hacker the Celestials hunt but cannot find. Brilliant, deadly, untouchable. The scared girl who begged for Kaelen's love is dead. But when Kaelen discovers the woman destroying his world is the one he betrayed, everything changes. Because he's been searching for her corpse for five years, haunted by what he did. And the guilt has turned the Celestials' most ruthless Enforcer into their greatest threat. Now he's offering her everything: his codes, his secrets, his broken soul. But Nyx isn't interested in his redemption. She's interested in watching his perfect world burn.

Ember Thorne grew up knowing the bitter truth: weakness is a death sentence. ​On her sixteenth birthday, when the primal surge of the Shift should have remade her, she was left agonizingly human. Her failure transformed her from the beloved Beta-elect’s daughter into a pariah—a fragile, scentless Omega in the unforgiving Shadow Creek pack. For two years, she has endured the endless grind of servitude and the crushing cruelty of her Alpha, surviving only by the protective shadows cast by her twin, Elias. ​She has accepted her fate: no wolf, no mate, no escape. ​But when Alpha Kael Blackwood, the ruthless leader of the legendary Silver Moon pack, arrives for a surprise alliance meeting, he doesn't see the broken servant the pack sees. He sees her. ​He hauled me against his armored chest, the sheer force of his presence sucking the air from the room. His eyes, the color of storm clouds, bored into mine. ​“You think you can reject me?” His voice was a lethal rumble, closer than a whisper, yet loud enough to shake the walls. “You are a scentless, wolf-less weakling. Yet, you carry my soul.” ​I tried to swallow, but my throat was dust. “I am nothing. You are the Silver Moon Alpha. Reject me and spare us both the ridicule.” ​A dark smile, devoid of kindness, stretched across his face. He leaned down, his lips brushing my ear, sending a jolt of fire and fear straight through me. ​“I won't reject you. You will be claimed, protected, and possessed. You are no longer Shadow Creek's shame. You are mine, Ember Thorne. And you will be the envy, the obsession, and the absolute focus of every enemy I have.”

“Let me lick it clean,” said Xie Daiyu as he looked at Ruan Chanchan’s wound. Hearing his suggestion, Ruan Chanchan paused and looked at the mer in shock. She pursed her lips and said to him, “You are kidding me. Aren’t you?” “Why do you think I am joking?” The mer asked with a tilt of his head. Ruan Chanchan gritted her teeth and said, “Because the wound is not somewhere you can just lick me.” “What's the matter?” Xie Daiyu asked with an innocent expression, even though his lips were about to curl in a smirk. “You are a beast woman, and I am a beast mer… this is nothing.” He pushed Ruan Chanchan down on the ground, his fingers skimming against her inner thigh. “It will be over in a matter of seconds.” Like hell it did! She ended up becoming the mother of his child. ** “This is not how you are supposed to do it.” With a frown, Rong Xian stared at her. The mer was usually silent, but today he was unusually chatty. Ruan Chanchan rolled her eyes while peering out of a boulder. She was staring at the sea while trying to look for the prince of the Basilosauruses. Her eyes kept flickering as she said to the mer behind her, “I need to talk with the prince, no matter what.” “Oh, and what do you want to talk to him about?” “Just about the salt trade.” “And what are you going to offer him in return?” the mer asked with a tilt of his head. Ruan Chanchan frowned at his question. She turned to look at him before saying, “What can I offer? At most, we can discuss some kind of cooperation.” Rong Xian licked his lips as he moved forward. He caught hold of the woman and turned her around as he pressed her against the boulder. “I don’t know about cooperation, but we can discuss copulation. What do you say, Miss Ruan? Do you want this prince to give you a litter of little basilosauruses?” ** “You need to put more strength into it,” said Liang Feng. His brows were furrowed as he looked at the weak woman who was trying to pull the fang out of her arm. Ruan Chanchan frowned and scowled at the mer. She said to him, “Do you think that it's so easy?! Why don’t you do it if you think that it's that easy?” The mer sighed and crouched down. He reached out and caught Ruan Chanchan’s arm in his hands and, without waiting for the woman to say anything else, he pulled the fang out of her arm. “AHHH—urk!” Ruan Chanchan’s scream came to a sudden halt when the mer fed her a piece of flame fruit, which was sweet and delicious. “Feeling alright?” Liang Feng asked with a tilt of his head. Ruan Chanchan nodded, and the mer smiled. “Good girl.” ** Kaboom! “You have to be kidding me!” That's how Ruan Chanchan felt after landing in a prehistoric world where not only did a gender other than men and women exist, but on top of that, these people could turn into beastmen! The second she arrived, Ruan Chanchan was almost squashed to death — but somehow she managed to escape. Don’t ask her how she did it; Ruan Chanchan still had some ptsd due to that incident. But if that was not bad enough, the world where she landed was also about to end. Great. Let the world know that Ruan Chanchan had offended some great immortal somewhere. Now, if she wanted to survive, then not only did she have to teach these beastmen how to farm, cook and clean themselves—You don’t want to get her started on how dirty these beastmen could be without knowing how to clean their hands and shower every day. And raw meat—yuck. Easy? Not! Not only did she transmigrate into the body of a fool, but she also ended up becoming the only beast woman who had no beast form. With a broken beast nucleus, Ruan Chanchan couldn’t find a single person who would willingly trust her. Fortunately, she had a supermarket system with her. Watch her use cotton balls and antiseptic ointments to stop the minor bleeding of the beastmen and use common antiparasitic medications to save a dying beast cub.

Sera Valentine has endured hell on earth—years of relentless bullying, watching evil flourish while good people suffer. The final straw? Witnessing gang members beat an innocent teenager to death while she stood frozen, powerless. That night, a devil named Azrael appeared in her dreams with an offer: supernatural abilities to excel at everything in exchange for half her remaining lifespan. She took the deal without hesitation. Now with only fifteen years left to live, Sera becomes something terrifying—a beautiful monster hunting monsters. By day, she's a rising prosecutor with an inhuman conviction rate. By night, she's the Pale Judge, a vigilante whose victims vanish without a trace, their crimes written in blood at the scene. But Azrael didn't mention the side effects: her touch brings agony to the corrupt, her presence makes evil souls see their sins manifested as hallucinations, and slowly, horrifyingly, she's becoming less human. Her reflection shows something dark watching from behind her eyes. Enter Kael Draven—the enigmatic CEO investigating his brother's disappearance, one of Sera's early "judgments." He's dangerously intelligent, hauntingly beautiful, and hiding a monstrous secret of his own: he's a half-demon heir to an ancient bloodline, cursed to feed on human fear to survive. They should be enemies. She hunts monsters. He is one. But in a world drowning in corruption, they're drawn together by darkness and desire, each recognizing the abyss in the other. As Sera's humanity slips away and her time runs out, she must choose: complete her mission to cleanse the world and die a monster, or surrender to love and let evil win. The devil's always in the details. And Azrael's watching, waiting for the moment when Sera realizes the true price of her deal.
