The Obsidian Ghost

Chantychan
They pushed a broken girl off a cliff. They didn't expect a Queen to climb back up. Elara was the invisible wife, a pawn in a cold marriage to a man who never loved her. On their third anniversary, she finally had a reason to hope: a positive pregnancy test. But her joy is short-lived. To steal her inheritance, her husband Elias and her cruel stepsister Seraphine push her into the freezing depths of the Void Sea, leaving her to drown along with her unborn child. But the sea has secrets, and so does the one who rules it. Rescued by the mysterious and lethal Killian, the ruler of the dark empire known as Nation Z, Elara's life is saved-but her world is shattered. When Killian realizes the child she lost was conceived during their one forbidden night together five years ago, his grief turns into a cold, obsessive rage. Five years later, Elara is gone. Vespera has arrived. With a new face, a heart of ice, and the most powerful man in the world at her side, she returns to the elite circles of her past. She isn't there to beg for her life or ask for an explanation. She is there to dismantle Elias and Seraphine piece by piece, taking back everything they stole-and a few things they didn't know she owned. He thought he killed his wife. He's about to find out that ghosts dont just haunt, they haunt.

Cursed Bride of Endless Tomorrows

This story follows Lucian Thornvale, a thirty-two-year-old man belonging to a third-tier royal family. Most luxuries are at his fingertips. His wife is considered the most beautiful woman among the third-tier royals, yet there is no love in their married life—he simply cannot fall in love. Marriages between royals are nothing more than political acts. However, a forced marriage is not the reason he cannot love her. In fact, the relationship between Lucian and his wife is quite good for a forced marriage. There are no arguments, no doubts, and no cheating. They share their bed almost every night. There are giggles, laughter, and moments of joy—but none of it feels genuine. Lucian hates his life not because of his wife, but because of her grandmother. A manipulative old hag who seems determined to control every part of his fate. Yet even she is not the only reason for the emptiness in his heart. Lucian Thornvale carries a secret confusion within himself. For as long as he can remember, he has felt a quiet, buried desire—the wish that he had been born a woman. A desire he tried to suppress before it could grow into something undeniable. But fate can be strangely cruel… and strangely generous. When Lucian’s life finally collapses, he is given another chance. He awakens once again in the past—but this time reborn as a woman, the very thing he had once secretly longed to be. In a world filled with royal politics, twisted relationships, and repeating tomorrows, the newly reborn Lucian must face a question far more terrifying than death: Will this new life finally grant her freedom… or trap her forever as the cursed bride of endless tomorrows? *This story is slow-paced and really focuses on deep character chemistry before anything else happens. Mature scenes will not appear every few chapters (after the first two, actually). But whenever they do, I will make them passionate and enjoyable to read. So please give this story a chance if you like the concept.
