Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off

Su Qinglan sat cross-legged on the grass, holding the chubbiest tiger cub she’d ever seen. “Aww… Look at you,” she whispered, booping its tiny nose. “So cute I could eat you up...” A sudden shadow loomed over her. “What’s so good about this stinky cub?” a deep, amused voice asked. She blinked up… and froze. Towering above her was a tall tiger beast man, his golden eyes narrowed in a lazy, predatory smile. “Let’s have ours,” he said. Su Qinglan’s brain short-circuited. … Ours? OURS?! Before she could process, in the next moment she was hoisted up onto his broad shoulder like a sack of grain and carried straight toward the cave. Su Qinglan was so choked by the suddenness of it all… she forgot to even complain. *** Su Qinglan’s knees knocked together as she stared up at the enormous serpent. Its cold, red eyes narrowed, the flick of its tongue tasting the air between them. “D-Don’t eat me,” she stammered, hugging herself. “I...I’m not tasty… really, I’m stringy and full of… uh… bad cholesterol.” The snake’s head lowered until it was mere inches from her face. Her fox ears twitched wildly. And then, before she could blink...its massive body shimmered, scales turning into bronzed skin and lean muscle. Standing before her was a man so breathtakingly handsome that Su Qinglan’s poor fox eyes watered just looking at him. Su Qinglan swallowed hard, her tail fluffing up in panic. “I… I…” Her voice cracked. Okay, new problem… the snake is hot. She squeezed her eyes shut. “If you… if you really want…” She blurted, her face burning, “…y-you can… take me.” *** One moment Su Qinglan was fighting with the zombie king with all her might. Boom! The next, she woke up in a bizarre beast world… inside the body of a lazy, pampered, fat local tyrant everyone hated. The “original” Su Qinglan had been an arrogant, scheming villainess who spent her days bullying weaker beast women, chasing after handsome males, and terrorizing the tribe kids. Now, thanks to fate’s twisted sense of humor, Qinglan had inherited the body and the bad reputation. But honestly? Being fat in a beast world was still better than starving in the apocalypse. At least here, she could eat. The only problem? In this world, men weren’t just men, they were beastmen. Tall, strong, dangerous… And apparently, every beast woman was expected to have several husbands. The catch? The “original” Qinglan’s antics had scared away every decent male within a ten-mile radius. Armed with her apocalyptic survival instincts, a sharp tongue, and a mysterious system that suddenly activated... "Binding with host…" "Congratulations, host, for successfully arriving in the beast world." Qinglan decided she wasn’t going to cry about fate. If she had to live here, then she’d live big, literally.

CRIMSON LINEAGE: THE BROTHER WHO LOVED TOO MUCH

Seraphine Aldric was seven when her parents told her: "Your brother Theron will always protect you." And he did. Too well. Too much. Too obsessively. For twenty years, she never questioned why boys who showed interest disappeared. Why her brother's eyes followed her like a predator tracking prey. Why his touch lingered too long, burned too hot for something innocent. Until the day she discovered the truth: every man who ever wanted her was destroyed by Theron's hand. He didn't see her as a sister. He saw her as his birthright—property that came with the Aldric empire. She ran. Two years in London, building a life beyond his suffocating shadow. Two years of freedom. Then her parents summoned her home for an emergency. A girl is sobbing in their marble foyer. DNA tests scattered across mahogany tables. The impossible truth: Seraphine isn't an Aldric. She's the daughter of a hospital nurse, swapped at birth with the real heiress. She should be thrown out. Disowned. Finally free of the brother whose love feels like chains. Instead, Theron corners her in the hallway, storm-blue eyes blazing with something between relief and hunger. "Do you know how long I've waited for this?" His hand cups her face—no longer forbidden, no longer wrong by blood. "You're not my sister, Seraphine. You never were. And now there's nothing stopping me from making you mine." The real heiress wants her life back. Theron wants her in his bed. And Seraphine must decide: fight for the family that raised her but never truly loved her, or surrender to the man who's been obsessed with her since childhood—the only person who ever made her feel like she belonged, even if that belonging feels like captivity. Some loves are forbidden. Others are dangerous. Theirs is both.

Until the night before her 25th birthday gala, when she overheard the truth hidden behind garden hedges: "Marry her? I'd rather hand my empire to strangers." "She's not the one I want. She could never be." "I'd rather die than be trapped with someone I've never even desired." Three voices. Three rejections. Three shattering revelations that the love she felt was completely one-sided. Heartbroken and humiliated, Brielle does the only thing that makes sense—she vanishes. New name. New country. New life where no one knows she's the SaintClair heiress who ran from her own engagement party. But what she doesn't know is that each man said those words to hide his true feelings.

When they discover she's gone, three ruthless heirs tear the world apart searching. When they find her transformed—powerful, cold, looking at them like strangers—they realize the devastating truth: their lies didn't protect her. They destroyed her. Now begins the real battle. Three men competing to prove their love is real. One woman who refuses to be anyone's consolation prize. And a revenge plot that will burn their families' empires to ash. She ran from their rejection. Now they'll crawl through hell to earn her back.

Family is a luxury not everyone can afford. Adelyn learned that the day Clara returned to the Scott family —and she quietly stopped belonging. No one abused her. No one hurt her openly. But the love that was once hers alone became divided. The attention that once chose her … became something she had to borrow.

Her heart didn’t break in a single moment —it wore down slowly … until nothing remained worth fighting for. So, she erased herself from their world. Not in anger. Not in revenge. But to save what little of herself was left. ————— Seven years later, Adelyn returned. Not for the Scott family. Not for their love.

She breathed in freedom. “No family…no shackles.” But just then— Two small arms wrapped around her legs. She stiffened. Looking down, she met a pair of familiar doe eyes staring up at her with unwavering trust. “Mama … Eira waited long for you. Don’t leave again.” …Mama? Before she could understand or react, a tall shadow fell over them. A man stood there —gaze sharp, cold, claiming —looking at her like she had belonged to him. “You dared to show up again?” Adelyn felt clueless. She would have asked him what he meant, however — Before she could speak — the ground vanished beneath her feet. A powerful arm lifted her effortlessly. “Since you dared …” his voice dropped —low, restrained, dangerous. “Don’t think of escaping again.

The Alpha Chose My Maid, So I Married The Rogue King

My husband thought I was his doormat Luna until I became his ruin. … I was the Goldbane heiress. Gideon Vexwood was the lowborn wolf I married for love.

Together, we struck a secret surrogate deal to save the Goldbane’s right to the Alpha seat. I thought it was our salvation. I didn't know it was a trap. While I drowned in grief, Gideon and his mistress were celebrating my downfall, manipulating the very contracts meant to save me to turn me into a servant in my own home. They called it strategy. I called it war. For seven years, I played the victim. I endured their cruelty, letting them think they’d won while I forged a secret alliance with the only man they truly fear: Jarek Ashthorne. The infamous Rogue King. A man who rules the underworld with an iron fist and holds a debt to my father that he has never forgotten. He was supposed to be my weapon of revenge. I didn't expect him to be my salvation. Now, as the secrets of that fatal night emerge, the long game is finally over. They took my child. They stole my life.

Everything about you... every tear you shed for a man who doesn't deserve you… It’s all my business.” I shivered, but I clamped down on the sensation instantly. “Get your hands off me! I know what you’re doing. I’ve heard the stories, Jarek. Stay away from my marriage, stay away from my pack. And you better stay away from my life!” Yet, he pressed his face into the crook of my neck, inhaling deeply. “Is that what you call it, Elowen? I call it a wake-up call. But if you’d rather go back to your ‘Alpha’ and pretend that the walls aren’t closing in, be my guest.”
