The Devil's Betrothed

[Main Plot Completed] A love doomed from the start, a lost cause, a losing battle—and yet, neither hearts are willing to let go until the very end. ----- Arlan Cromwell, the epitome of the perfect Crown Prince. All he wants is to live a normal life of a human but the life of a dragon is anything but normal. He has but one goal—to find his runaway betrothed and behead her. What happens when he discovers that the woman who has snagged his heart is the one he vowed to kill? Oriana, a Black Witch, disguising herself as a man, has spent her entire life on the run without knowing what she is running away from. When the mysteries of her past slowly catch up to her, she has no one to turn to…except Arlan. But when she learns that the man she has given her heart to is the same man who wants to kill her, how can she accept the cruel card life dealt her? Two people with secrets to keep, identities to hide, and answers to find. When the certain darkness threatens to take Oriana away, will the Dragon be able to protect his mate? ----- Excerpt- “If I knew you were my betrothed, I would have killed you the very first moment we met." Arlan's gaze darkened with hatred. “If I knew I was betrothed to you, I would have killed myself before you even killed me!” Oriana mirrored the same emotions as him. He pulled out a dagger and offered it to her. “It’s not too late. Just slit your throat with this and you'll bleed out painlessly.” She accepted the knife, her fingers clutching its handle tightly. The next moment, he was pressed against the wall and the knife was on the right side of his neck. “How about I try it on you first, my betrothed?” “Feel free to try. But when you fail, this knife will first taste your grandpa's blood, then yours.” Anger rose in her eyes, and the next moment, blood was flowing through the right side of his neck. She cut deep enough to severe an important blood vessel. “You should not have challenged me,” she sneered and stepped back, waiting for him to collapse. He simply smirked and brushed his finger along the deep wound on his neck. “Seems like you failed.” She watched the wound on his neck heal on its own and felt shocked to her bones. “You.. what are you?” “Guess?” ----- Instagram- mynovel.20 Facebook- Author mynoveltwenty

Reincarnated as the First Missy's Live-in Maid

Our childhood was a masterpiece of laughter and adventure – until puberty painted a new reality. We were the dynamic duo of our neighborhood, inseparable partners in crime. Summers danced with fireflies and midnight secrets shared in woods behind our houses. Winters warmed with hot chocolate and snowball fights that left us breathless. Our bond seemed woven with unbreakable threads – until high school unraveled everything. Sophomore year's welcome party still echoes in my mind like a haunting melody. Alcohol flowed like truth serum, and our inhibitions dissolved like sugar in water. Then, the moment that shattered our friendship's innocence: our lips collided in a soft, bewildering kiss. Your eyes searched mine for answers I didn't have. My heart thundered in my chest like a confession. We fled the scene like criminals – and avoided each other ever since. Countless nights I've relived that kiss, wondering what you felt in that moment. Did my lips spark something real, or was it just alcohol-fueled curiosity? The not knowing gnaws at me like a restless spirit. Now we're juniors, and fate seems determined to collide our worlds again. Mutual friends push us together, oblivious to the tension simmering between us like a slow-burning flame. School hallways feel like battlefields where we exchange fleeting glances instead of bullets. I notice everything – the way your hair curls slightly at the nape of your neck, your bright smile when talking to others (but not me), the faint scent of your cologne lingering in empty spaces you once occupied. Do we dare confront the kiss that blurred the lines of our friendship – or keep pretending that night was just a drunken illusion?

Founding a story with You

She faked her death to escape her past. He never expected to fall for a kindergarten teacher. But some stories write themselves. Claire Anna Frank is a sweet, dedicated kindergarten teacher living a quiet life—until Kennedy Scott Walker walks through her classroom door. Kennedy is a 26-year-old CEO, impossibly handsome, and way out of her league. He's also the uncle of her students, the twin girls Diana and Jenny. Their first meeting is ordinary. Their second? Not so much. After a night out with friends, a tipsy Claire pokes his nose, calls him "such a cutie," and changes everything. What follows is a slow burn neither of them saw coming: coffee spills, stolen glances, late-night texts, and quiet moments that feel like something more. Kennedy starts showing up—at her apartment, at lunch, in her thoughts when she's supposed to be grading artwork. And Claire? She's falling. Hard. But Claire is hiding something. Her real name is Claire Franklin Hemelia—daughter of two legendary superstars, heiress to a family of Hollywood royalty. Two years ago, she was falsely accused of scandalous affairs with powerful men in the industry. Betrayed by her own parents and destroyed by the media, Claire did the unthinkable: she faked her death and disappeared, leaving behind everything to become someone new. Now, as Kennedy gets closer, the walls Claire built to protect herself begin to crack. Every smile, every touch, every "I came here because you were here" pulls her deeper into something she swore she'd never risk again—being seen. But secrets don't stay buried forever. And when the truth starts to surface, Claire will have to choose: keep running, or trust that Kennedy might just love her for who she really is. A heartwarming, emotional romance about second chances, hidden identities, and finding love when you least expect it.

Interstellar Beast World: Winning the Villain’s Heart with Cubs

Yue Yue was once the precious White Jade Snake female of her primitive beast world. She was pampered, adored female and practically treated like a rare treasure. But the moment she opens her eyes… BAM! Her home was gone, the forest was gone, and there were no familiar beastmen running around half-naked. Instead... People are flying in the sky without wings. People are talking to glowing bracelets. People are living in giant metal buildings that look like angry mountains. Yue Yue wants to go home immediately. Unfortunately, fate laughs in her face. She finds out she has actually transmigrated… and not as some powerful heroine, but as an F-level female who is infertile and has F-level spiritual healing, basically treated like a useless accessory that can be thrown away anytime. From “Most Cherished Treasure of the City”...to “Garbage Female.” What kind of karmic debt is this!? Just when she’s ready to sit down and cry, a cold mechanical ding! rings in her head. A system? Yes, she got a system...but not the good kind. This system wants her to save villainous beastmen, the ones who are on the path to becoming degenerated, uncontrollable monsters. They are cruel, bloodthirsty, evil, and absolutely the last people she wants to babysit. Even worse, she only survives by completing the system’s ridiculous tasks. Yue Yue’s reaction: “I’m a snake, I only know how to slither! Why me?!” Now she must fight for survival, cure villains, avoid getting eaten by polluted beasts, and somehow prevent the interstellar world from collapsing...all while trying to figure out how this bizarre place works. A useless female? A forgotten character? Ha! Watch Yue Yue shake the entire galaxy. ~ Excerpt: Yue Yue didn’t know what was happening. One moment she was quietly trying to escape from this strange place, but suddenly a huge shadow appeared in front of her. A very big, very long, very black shadow. She slowly looked up...and her soul almost flew out of her body. A giant winged serpent hovered above her; its scales were darker than night, and its violet-black eyes swirled as if they could swallow the world. Its wings beat once, sending a blast of wind that nearly threw her off her feet. Before she could slither away, The snake hissed at her. His stare was so intense she felt like her tiny snake heart stopped beating. Her voice came out shaking, trembling and almost squeaking, “B-Brother… we’re the same species, okay? C-Cannibalism is… very bad. Very, VERY bad!” The serpent blinked. Then, right in front of her eyes, his massive body shrank, twisted, and transformed into a dangerously handsome beastman. A very tall, black-haired, violet-eyed, and exuding the full aura of “I can kill you with a glance.” Yue Yue gulped. He looked down at her and picked her up. It is as if she were a fruit he found on sale. “What are you doing?! Put me down! I’m not edible!” He didn’t even respond. He simply opened the pocket on his strange suit...and dropped her in. Yue Yue flailed inside like a trapped dumpling. “W-Wait! Wait, wait, wait! Am I being kidnapped!?” Her life was over. She had officially been abducted by a psychopath serpent in human clothing.
