Affection: True Love

"I sold my soul to save their smiles. I will burn this Kingdom to hear her screams." For Alaric Vane, survival was never about himself. It was about the Grey Cradle, the only home he ever knew. When the ruthless Kingdom of Oakhaven decrees the destruction of his orphanage, Alaric chooses a fate worse than death. He crawls before the City Governor, Lunate Kenet—a woman whose beauty is as lethal as her cruelty—and signs a four-year contract of absolute enslavement. Within the blood-stained halls of the Kenet Estate, Alaric becomes a "human rug," stripped of his name and dignity. For two agonizing years, he endures Lunate’s heels on his back and her family’s sadistic whims. But in the dead of night, Alaric is no longer a slave. He is a predator in training, performing 15,000 sword swings in the shadows, fueled by a single hope: the day he will return to his family. Then, the world turns upside down. After two years of hell, the Kenet sisters suddenly shift. The kicks turn into embraces; the cold glares turn into a suffocating, twisted obsession. Lunate, the woman who broke him, now wants to possess his heart. But it is too late. Upon the completion of his contract, Alaric discovers the ultimate betrayal: The Grey Cradle was razed to the ground three years ago. The silence he endured for years wasn't protection—it was a void where his world used to be. Believing his family dead and his sacrifice a cruel joke, Alaric’s love for his masters turns into a dormant volcano of rage. He will climb the ranks, gain the King’s favor, and return as a Count to dismantle the House of Kenet from the inside out. He doesn't want their newfound affection. He wants to watch them fall into the same dirt where they once forced him to crawl. A four-year contract. A lifetime of vengeance. In the world of Terris, affection is the deadliest weapon of all.

Expelled: Pauper Prince - High School Dream's Over, Now Harem & Rich

"You are the worst! Forcing us girls to do maths in a dress like this?!" "Eh, it would be much more convenient to do it on the spot, no?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kyouya, a peerless mind, thought he had mastered every scenario. But an extraordinarily silly expulsion, sparked by an accidental food bait, shattered his meticulously planned life. His dreams, his future—gone. Yet, his father, Kiritaka Saionji, had other plans. Nearing his 50s and desperate for an heir, he gaslighted Kyouya into accepting a "dying wish": Choose a partner to bear the next generation of the Saionji lineage. To this end, an extravagant, exclusive event was orchestrated on a private island, gathering a formidable roster of women. Among the invited guests were former classmates, all drawn by a peculiar longing for Kyouya, their reputations flawless and their wealth undeniable. As a master of intellect with impossibly high standards, Kyouya, despite the coercion, couldn't deny the allure of the formidable women presented. This cruel farce now presented an unforeseen opportunity: to meticulously select his ideal companions and cultivate the ultimate harem. Will he truly choose one of these formidable women to be his groom? Or does he possess a hidden plan, a cunning strategy to dismantle this charade and finally seize the long-awaited freedom and peace he craves? The game for his future, and perhaps his heart, has just begun.
