Yes Between Blood and Desire

Tariq_Aziz_1632
Between Blood and Desire is a slow-burn dark romance spanning 15 years, a deeply personal story of loyalty, power, and forbidden desire. Aziz Khan has always lived by rules he cannot break. Silence is survival. Discipline is strength. Desire has no place in the carefully constructed life he protects—not for himself or anyone else. Shelfa Ali enters his world not with rebellion, but with quiet strength and intelligence. She challenges him in ways words cannot, testing boundaries, revealing vulnerabilities, and forcing him to make choices he never wanted to make. Their connection grows slowly, dangerously, and intensely—each glance, each unspoken moment building a tension that neither can deny. As years pass, the world around them tightens—trust fractures. Enemies exploit hesitation. Loyalty is tested until it bends. Desire refuses to stay silent, and every decision carries a cost. What begins as restraint slowly transforms into something neither of them can ignore. Across 35 chapters, Between Blood and Desire explores what happens when love is forbidden not only by society but also by history, blood, and promises. It is a story of restraint and consequence, of hearts bound by unspoken rules, and of desire that demands acknowledgment despite the risks. This is not a tale of instant passion. It is a tale of time, patience, and the high price of wanting more. For readers who crave emotional depth, slow-burning romance, and characters whose hearts and choices are as complex as life itself, Between Blood and Desire delivers an unforgettable journey of love, loyalty, and the consequences of crossing the lines we swore we never would.

Beastmen Are Crazy, So I Sell Them Therapy

Blanca Frostine transmigrated into the very beast-world novel she’d been reading. Great. Fantastic. Even better? This world had a massive problem. In this empire, beastmen suffered from a condition called Hysteria. When their emotions spiked, they lost control and turned into rampaging monsters. When their emotions dipped too low, they reverted into small, helpless beast cubs. Therapy existed, technically, in the form of rare energy stones—but there was a catch. The stones only worked if they were hand-carved into the exact animal form of the beastman. The more realistic the sculpture, the stronger the calming effect. The more lifelike the carving, the more times it could be reused. Which was where Blanca’s luck kicked in. In her previous life, she’d been a legendary sculptor—wealthy, talented, and famously difficult to deal with. Her works were so vivid they felt like they were breathing. People waited months just to beg for a commission, and because she had zero patience for nonsense, the art world had crowned her with a fitting title: The Sculptress. So when Blanca realized she could carve energy stones better than anyone in this world, romance was not her first concern. Powerful beast husbands? Fated mates? Tragic, handsome generals with emotional damage? She waved all of it away. “I’ll date later,” she decided calmly. “After I get rich.” And so, instead of a love story, she opened a shop. A small, suspiciously low-effort store suddenly appeared on the Regional Network, selling palm-sized sculptures carved with terrifying realism. Just looking at the screen was enough to calm raging emotions. The empire lost its mind overnight. Orders flooded in. Nobles panicked. The military took notes. Unfortunately, the shop owner was… Lazy, sharp-tongued, and deeply uninterested in customer satisfaction. “No rush orders.” “No refunds.” “Stop messaging me at 3 a.m.” “And stop flirting in the reviews.” Still, her sculptures sold out within seconds. What Blanca didn’t expect was the growing number of powerful beastmen who began appearing in her life—each claiming they just needed emotional treatment, each lingering a little too long, each staring at her hands like they were something far more dangerous than weapons. After all, in an empire full of beasts who lost control when their emotions ran wild, Blanca Frostine was the only one who could calm them with a touch. And while she kept insisting she wasn’t interested in love— Love, unfortunately, seemed very interested in her. “Screw finding a husband,” Blanca thought, carving another masterpiece. “…Why do they keep lining up anyway?”
