Your Name was the problem(his rules her fire)

Aria Sinclair has never needed saving. Raised to fight for everything she has, she built her reputation with sharp intelligence, fierce independence, and a will that refuses to bend. But when her father’s company stands on the brink of ruin, even she cannot stop the collapse alone. Enter Adrian Locke — the city’s most feared CEO. Cold. Calculated. Brilliant. A man who built an empire with his own hands and never let anyone close enough to touch his heart. To the world, he is power itself — unshakable and untouchable. Adrian needs one thing to secure his next global deal: A wife. Not a lover. Not a partner. Just a name and a role. And Aria is the only woman strong enough not to break under the pressure — or fall in love with him. So begins a marriage bound by signatures, convenience, and rules that both swear to uphold. But in private: They clash. They provoke. They burn. Their arguments are fire. Their tension is undeniable. And every time they collide, the world around them seems to stop breathing. Yet in the world of power and ambition, enemies hide behind smiles — and the past never stays buried. When threats close in and truths unravel, the line between hate and desire blurs dangerously. And the contract that once kept them apart becomes the very thing pushing them together. Not because they need each other. But because they choose each other. Even when it hurts. Even when it’s impossible. Even when love was never part of the deal. ---

Winter Lord - The Duke's son is a player

The Kingdom of Veridia is a land decaying under the gilded lies of its puppet ruler, King Cedric, who is secretly controlled by his manipulative wife, the High Demoness Queen Valerica. Valerica schemes to gain godlike power and exact revenge upon the heavens, a plan set in motion by manipulating the very foundations of the realm. The true instability lies in the land's mythic power source: the Thirteen Legendary Beasts, whose strength equals that of the gods, and whose cores are coveted by unseen, powerful forces. The story begins with Cedric, a discarded prince secretly possessing the Player System, a flawed artifact of the forgotten Creation Goddess. After a desperate confrontation, Cedric consumes an Anomaly-tier core, triggering a system 'glitch' that grants him the rare Dual Class Status of Lord/Cryo-Mage. This cold, raw power transforms him from a political pawn into the Winter Lord, a calculating architect dedicated to survival. Saga I quickly throws Cedric into direct conflict. He must secure his remote Northern Outpost against the Barbarian hordes, all while hiding his transformation from the Queen’s spies, like the sycophantic Lord Verian. His first strategic triumph involves securing the services of the isolationist Wandering Dwarves by offering them the impossible challenge of forging the nigh-indestructible hide of the slain Drake Mother. The stakes immediately escalate when a rival Player Lord, the cunning Frost Elf Lord Kaelen, appears, seeking to claim the territory and enslave the local populace. Cedric uses his new abilities and strategic deception to crush Kaelen's initial strike, liberating over two hundred captives who instantly swear fealty, cementing his new title as the Winter Lord.
