Not Your Perfect Princess

She wanted Paris. She got a palace. After winning the nation's most prestigious cooking competition, Liana Davis, a doctor turned chef, is finally going somewhere. Paris. Fame. Freedom... Until an accidental fall off a cliff lands her in a gilded bed, surrounded by bowing servants, addressed as Princess Ioana of a powerful royal kingdom that should not exist. But there's only one problem. Liana isn't Ioana. She doesn't belong in corsets, she doesn't speak "thee" and "thou", and she certainly didn't agree to attend royal balls, smile for nobles or play along with a family that watches her a little too closely. But pretending may be the only way to survive. Trapped in an alternate universe ruled by crowns, codes and cruel traditions, Liana must survive palace politics, an icy royal family and a court that expects obedience...not sarcasm. But unfortunately for them, sarcasm was her default mode. When a royal decree announces her arranged marriage to a ruthless, arrogant prince, love was the last thing on her "royal" bucket list...or so she thinks. Between royal balls, biting comedy, simmering drama, and a mysterious man who appears...and vanishes...like a prophecy waiting to unfold, Liana finds herself caught between fate and free will...and a marriage that may change everything. In a world where power is inherited, she intends to earn hers. A fantasy romance filled with comedy, drama, royal intrigue, love after marriage, and a heroine who refuses to kneel.

Weaves of Ashes

JAYDE Forged in the crucible of Xi Corporation’s labs, Jayde—once known only as SN1098—is a genetically engineered super soldier, her body honed to a razor's edge through decades of fighting humanity’s brutal wars. Her rebellion against her creators sparked a desperate battle for her people’s survival, only to end in betrayal and a fiery death on Crypso 3Q3U, her sacrifice shattering the corporate chains binding thousands of GESS lives. Yet death is not her end. Jayde awakens, impossibly, in the tortured body of a young girl on a strange world untouched by the technology she knew—no starships, no replicators, no blasters, only the primal pulse of magic. Bound to an ancient artifact pulsing with secrets, she must navigate a realm of powerful mages, mythical creatures, and lurking monsters, her old instincts clashing with the arcane forces now at her command. Her soul, scarred by battle and betrayal, carries a darkness that threatens to consume or redeem her as she carves a new path. REN Ren, the fierce demon king, stands as the last bulwark against his race’s extinction, his heart a furnace of primal fury. To save his people and halt the malevolent Zartonesh’s invasion of the realms, he must venture to the Lower Realm, where the Devil Wars first ignited. His fate entwines with a young woman—Jayde—whose soul, steeped in shadow, stirs the ancient beast within him. Her vast, untamed power could be the key to salvation or the doom of all he fights for, her presence a spark to his fire, a bond that could forge or shatter destinies. AN EPIC JOURNEY OF MAGIC AND REDEMPTION Jayde trades her blaster for a sword, stepping alone into a universe where magic hums like a Centauri war-chant, guided only by a mysterious artifact that whispers of forgotten truths. She journeys across dimensions, learning the art of spellcraft, forging alliances with unlikely companions, and facing enemies born of myth and nightmare. As she grapples with the darkness within her soul—a remnant of her past life’s pain and betrayal—she searches for her true-mate, a bond that could anchor or unravel her. Will she master the magic of this strange world and rise as its savior, or will the shadows she carries bring ruin to all she holds dear? WARNING: This tale unfolds as a slow-burning romance, weaving love and loss through a tapestry of magic, sacrifice, and defiance, as Jayde’s legacy burns brighter than any star. Author’s Note Hi everyone! A small heads-up before you dive in: I’m a new novelist, still learning, experimenting, and growing with every chapter I write. My stories tend to be long-winded, slow-burning, and very descriptive — I love painting the scenes in my head as vividly as possible, so sometimes I linger a little too long on the details. These are epic-length novels, full of worldbuilding, lore, and character depth, and while I do my best, they’re not professionally edited (yet!). You may spot the occasional typo, pacing oddity, or overly dramatic flourish — but I promise every word is written with passion, care, and love for the world and characters. Thank you for giving my story a chance, and for walking this journey with me

Temptation: Breaking Victoria Sharp

He’s her assistant. Loyal. Obedient. Untouchable. Victoria Sharp built her tech empire from scratch. She's rich, ruthless, and always in control. No scandals, no distractions, especially not from a certain devastatingly attractive executive assistant with bewitching eyes and a voice that could ruin her in seconds. James Mitchell has worked under Victoria for three years, hiding his desire behind professionalism and perfect ties. He knows the rules. He respects her boundaries. But when she starts breaking her own, James isn’t sure how long he can keep pretending he doesn’t want her. What begins as subtle tension, lingering stares, coffee with hidden meanings, after-hours “accidental” meetings, spirals into something hotter, darker, and far more dangerous. She’s used to power. He’s used to silence. But neither of them is ready for obsession. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "If you want these lips, then earn them." James's words hung in the air between them, transforming the atmosphere in Victoria's office from tense confrontation to something entirely unprecedented. Victoria sat frozen in her chair, her lips still parted in silent shock, her mind struggling to process what had just transpired. Earn them. The phrase echoed in her thoughts, foreign and disorienting. "If you want to keep tasting these lips, then you'll have to woo me." The additional statement landed like a second shockwave. Woo him? Victoria Sharp didn't woo anyone. ------------- "Victoria, what are you…" James words died in his throat as he felt the warm, wet heat of her tongue against his exposed chest. Victoria had found the gap in his shirt and was licking his skin with deliberate, erotic slowness that made his entire body go rigid with shock and arousal. The sensation was unlike anything James had ever experienced, raw and intimate and so unexpected that it short-circuited his ability to think coherently. Victoria's tongue was warm and soft against his skin, tracing patterns that sent bolts of electricity straight to his core. This was madness, she knew that. But she was past caring about sanity or propriety or any of the rules that had governed her life up until this moment. All she cared about was the man in her arms and the way he made her feel like she was coming alive for the first time in years. Her tongue found the small mole on under his right eye, and she felt James's entire body shudder at the contact. "I love that mole on you," she whispered against his skin, her voice husky with desire. James's eyes slammed shut at the intimate contact, his body betraying him as a soft groan escaped his lips. The sensation of Victoria's tongue on his face was so unexpected, so boldly sensual, that his pulse hammering against his throat. "I will do as you say, James," she said, her voice husky with desire and determination. "I will woo you." The words sent a jolt of satisfaction through James's system, but it was her next statement that made his breath catch. "However, you should know that I am very territorial." "You just sit down, look effortlessly handsome, and prepare to be wooed," she said, her voice carrying all the authority of a woman who was used to getting exactly what she wanted. "Remember, James," she said, her voice dropping to a whisper that somehow managed to carry more authority than any shout ever could. "You are mine." The declaration hung between them like a brand, marking him as surely as if she'd physically claimed him. Enemies-to-lovers tension CEO x Executive Assistant Office slow-burn with high heat Obsession, betrayal, and emotional redemption One woman who’s never been owned and the man she can’t control If you love dominant heroines breaking their own rules, devoted but strong men, and drama that keeps you breathless, then be ready to be will consumed.

My Cuckhold System

In a world where supernatural Awakening dictates status, power, and worth, West Einstein is nobody. At eighteen, he’s a Tier 0—unawakened, invisible, and easily discarded. In a city ruled from the shadows by gangs, factions, and mafia families with supernatural bloodlines, Tier 1 awakeners are treated like future kings, while people like West exist purely as background. That truth becomes brutally clear when West’s girlfriend publicly abandons him for Caleb Rourke, a newly awakened Tier 1 backed by a street gang. Humiliated in front of the entire school, West learns a lesson the city enforces without mercy: power decides everything... love included. That same night, something awakens within him. ~ The Cuckhold System ~ A ruthless system that offers West a way to climb the hierarchy by doing to others what was done to him. By targeting men who believe their relationships are secure and becoming the replacement, West earns Cuck Points, a currency that allows him to grow stronger, unlock abilities, and even awaken as a Tier 1. Failure means losing the system forever. Success means power. As West navigates high school, part-time work at a café, and a city on the brink of chaos due to newly discovered supernatural ruins, he begins to see the world differently. Gangs extort openly. Police bow instead of enforce. Supernatural ruins spark violent competition. Morality bends beneath ambition. What starts as reluctant participation soon becomes strategy. --------- NB: MC never gets NTRd after acquiring the system. He is the one who NTR others.

Tutorial Target: I Farmed Skills While They Beat Me For 1,000 Years

They called it the "Tutorial Village." I called it hell. For one thousand years, I was the wooden practice dummy that every new player hacked at to learn their first skill. Warriors burned me. Rogues stabbed my kidneys. Mages used me for target practice while I screamed soundlessly, respawning instantly, feeling every goddamn hit. The System classified me as [E-Rank Monster: Immortal]. Bullshit. I was the bitch of the starter zone. But the System made one mistake: it didn't cap my skill acquisition. Every sword that cut me, every fireball that melted my face, every arrow that pierced my eye, I learned it. At 0.01% power. Stored it. Hoarded it like a dragon with a grudge. After ten million beatings, I had every skill in the game. I just couldn't use them. NPC code. Frozen. Helpless. Until Sung Min-ho walked in. Rank #1. The "Perfect Hero." The asshole who holds the speedrun record for fastest tutorial clear. He needed to shave 0.4 seconds off his time. So he hit me with his ultimate skill, something no one had ever used on a practice dummy before. And for the first time in a millennium, the pain broke the code. I moved. I caught his blade. I looked that smug bastard in the eye and said: "Welcome to the fucking tutorial." Now I'm loose in a world that treated me like furniture. I've got 10,000 skills at 0.01% power, a healing potion addiction, and a list of every player who's ever hit me. They practiced on me. Now I'm going to practice on them.
