Stripped of her name, inheritance, and freedom by her uncle—Lord Alexander—she was treated like property and promised to a Count four times her age. Desperate to escape, she fled into the cold night… and straight into blood. A stranger. Wounded. Beautiful. Terrifying. She should’ve left him. But she didn’t. She touched him once—and fate branded her forever. Her uncle caught her the next morning. Her escape failed. But when she begged Queen Olga for protection, the Queen offered her a deadly bargain: Marry the masked Grand Duke of Zolotaria. The king’s hunting dog. The butcher of the East. The devil in a crown. The man feared by kings. The heir to the throne. The same man she once saved. Ivan Romanov. They say he bathes in blood. That he kills without blinking. That he conquered kingdoms with a smile behind a mask. That no one sees his face—and lives. Some call him the devil. Others call him Death’s favorite son. But behind the mask is the same man she found dying in the dark. The same voice that haunted her dreams. The same hands she once held. Now, he’s her husband. Her jailer. Her obsession. She doesn’t know if she’s his prisoner, or his weakness. Cold and untouchable, Ivan doesn’t share his bed. Doesn’t share his secrets. But she sees it—the hunger in his eyes. The pain in his silence. The way he looks at her like she’s the only thing keeping his demons at bay. She should fear him. She should hate him. But the moment she dares to take off his mask… it’s already too late. Because Ivan wants her—her fire, her body, her heart. And in his world, what he wants, he keeps. Even if it means burning down the kingdom. She thought she was running from hell. She ended up in his bed. And the most dangerous thing of all? She doesn’t want to leave. ___________________________________ Just a Heads-Up: The spicy stuff doesn't happen right away.

Lin was your typical night owl—a sarcastic office worker who lived on coffee, fantasy novels, and poor life choices. When sleep finally claimed him, he expected rest. What he didn’t expect was to wake up as a real owl. Small. Fluffy. And starving. Life as a bird, it turns out, is hard. He can’t hunt, bugs are disgusting, and worse—people call him a cursed omen. So Lin makes a plan: find a rich human, charm them, and live the easy pet life. Simple, right? Except—He accidentally charms Emperor Cassian Valen, a.k.a. the Tyrant of Averis, a.k.a. The Man Everyone Avoids Unless They Have a Death Wish. Lin’s feathers puff in panic. “Wait—did I just charm the tyrant emperor?!” Now he’s living in a palace where one wrong hoot could mean death, trying to survive his unpredictable owner... who might not be as heartless as he seems. But when blood fills the throne room and Lin’s feathers burn into skin under a crimson moon, he realizes something terrifying— He isn’t just an owl. He’s a shapeshifter tied to the empire’s oldest curse. “When the owl descends upon the throne, Averis shall fall.” Lin mumbled, “Great. I just wanted free food, not to destroy an empire.” Cassian smirked, “Too late. You’re already mine.” And Cassian Valen, the monster emperor who should have killed him…is the only one who dares to love him.

"I am not an ordinary wolf, Amelie. Who the fuck marked you before me?" Gabriel voiced in a possessive yet intimidating tone.  Amelie didn’t know that the man, who saved her was none other than the infamous Dark Tyrant—the Alpha Prince, Gabriel Sinclair, whose intentions were still unknown to her. ~~~~ **The Story is a pure fiction.

So when he dies choking on a convenience store sandwich while cramming for finals, he's not exactly surprised to wake up in some cliché transmigration scenario.

According to the plot, Shen Moli was supposed to cause minor trouble for the main couple before dying pathetically of "sudden illness" Perfect! Junwei’s life goal? Maximum comfort with minimum effort. Lay low, avoid the main couple, eat well, and wait for his character’s convenient exit. Easy, right? Wrong. Because in a palace full of secrets, scheming nobles, and unexpected feelings, staying irrelevant might be the hardest role of all.
