She has long forgotten her previous lover, and her heart now clings to the man who protects her by any means necessary. Every touch strengthens the bond she never asked for.         Caught between duty and passion, Noctelle must navigate a treacherous game where love is both her greatest weapon and her deadliest vulnerability.

"Guilty"

"I love you, okay?" ... her voice broke as she stared up at Nur's face. His eyes widened, chest tightening as he stared back at her, at the magnitude of her words. Tears clung to Ayse's lashes, his wife who he supposedly contract married. From the very first day they locked eyes, he loved her but not even for a second, he would have thought she would fall for him. This was Deniz Nur Hakan--The sole heir to the multibillion-dollar company, he who built empires with his bare hands. He had ice in his veins and ruled with an iron fist. Men trembled under his gaze; women drove to him.  A man whose ears were deaf to the pleadings of many. Some called him a bastard, and for some he was just their "son"  His father, Emre Yousef Hakan--A tyrant man. He handed Nur the keys to the Hakan's estate. Well pleased and trusted that his son will continue his tyrannical reign. After the funeral ceremony, his mother had come to him.  Conversing to him on estate matters and the "future" "How his job wasn't only proceeding his father's company but to also produce an heir" Nur stared at his mother's unreadable face; he shook his head and sternly rejected even a thought on such matters.  Though months passed. One faithful night, he received the news.  "Mr. Hakan, your mother has passed away" Nur was left heartbroken; he fled from U.K and quickly arrived at Istanbul via his private jet.  The car clicked opened as he made his way in the magnificent "Hakan estate" Where he would find his "relatives" people who they had lost connection to the very day his parents married. They weren't well off back then yet lived happily.  He paid them no mind and walked towards the center where his mom's coffin was.  Clutching around the fine wood, tears sprung out. His mother, the only one who he could rest his head on the shoulders, lazily talk about his day. She had left him. The funeral has ended. Meanwhile Nur sat at his study, blue eyes flickering under the warm glow. Just then--the door clicked, there entered, Ali Demir, his father's advisor, now his. The silver-haired man walked to him, hands clutching at piles of documents. He then conversed to him on the future and that to attain his will, he must marry. Nur's face turned pale, marriage--A chapter that he had closed long ago. After his previous marriage in Ankara to his childhood sweetheart--Eylul Aydin. He remembered her end--how his father mercilessly unlived her and their unborn child. Nur had also rejected this idea prior to his mother's death. Yet--Ali continued, "the bride had also been selected" His jaw flexed as he raked his eyes at him, "Did you...? Ali shook his head, "I wouldn't dare... if it wasn't the very own wish of Mrs. Hakan" Nur sighed, a part of him was uninterested and the other part? --merely curious to who it was. Ali continued, the bride is from one of the Kaplan family branches. "Who...is it? Nur's voice came out, flustered. Ali's mouth parted, "Ayse Azra Yildiz" His eyes widened, his chest tightened.

Kidnapping Villainesses in a Cultivation World

He has transmigrated twice. He has died twice. The first time he got cocky in a happy-ending cultivation novel and died in a petty duel. The second, he hid on a mountain to avoid the main plot. A demonic invasion still found him and killed him again. Now he’s on his third transmigration, armed with a System and three powerful abilities: Perfect Memory, Inspect, and Luck Conversion. He is inside Five Villainesses of the Jade Realm, the darkest cultivation story he has ever read. Five women with shattered Dao hearts, a shadowy organization molding them into weapons, and a world where by the end, most of the population dies. He is Wei Liang, the overlooked seventh heir of the Soaring Crane Sect. He has two months to prevent the first Villainess from inverting, there by leading the world to its doom. His plan is simple in theory but crazy in practice: kidnap the five women, save them from their fates, and convince them that the stranger who took them is actually their salvation. The Hollow Veil is watching. The cultivation world thinks he is building a demonic cult. His own brother is investigating him. And the women he is trying to save are all capable of killing him if they even suspect betrayal. Even worse, as he saves them, their feelings—and their rivalries—might complicate everything. Love, loyalty, jealousy, and trust all hang in the balance. He has died twice already. He refuses a third time. - - - - - “Before you stumble through life as an Extra and end up dead, study the master. That’s me. Your survival guide awaits in my story.” — Wei Liang
