Fated To Reject You: A Deal With The Devil

She was his dead brother's mate. By tradition, she now belonged to him. It was an arranged marriage neither of them wanted. All she had to do was be his breeder, part her legs and bear him sons. But Prince Ruin was cruel. And every day was a rejection from Ruin, a constant humiliation ritual to remind her once more that she was nothing but a warm c*nt and a womb to bear his children. One day, after a betrayal too jarring to bear, Guinevere Laurent is reborn and decides she'd had enough. She abandoned her duties as Princess and fled from her mad groom under a different identity, with a secret she hoped no one else would discover. Only to get run over by a popular billionaire Alpha, Draven, who had been in town for a visit. Five years later, Guinevere is a stable business owner and engaged to Alpha Draven who treats her like she is his world. But Ruin won't have it that his bride got away from him. When he finally finds Guinevere after five long years of searching, it is at the wedding altar, about to be bound to another man, and with a little boy with fangs, calling her "Mom." And Ruin does the only thing that seems right in his books. He abducts his runaway breeder from her wedding. "Forgive me, Vi," he says. I tilt my head. "Get on your knees." He sinks to his knees, gazing up at me with hooded eyes as I strut over to where he kneels. I delve my fingers into his hair and push him down to my heels. "Kiss my feet." His head lowers, but instead, he grips my calves and brings his lips between my legs. "How about I kiss you here instead?" His mouth brushes against my heat. "Will you forgive me then?" Warning: The male lead is both the villain and the hero. There will be other men you ship with the female lead out of fear for her life and mental health. But Ruin is a constant you must get used to. Because he's always there. Ruin is essential in the way Chaos is, and if there is one thing I promise you, it is that you will come to crave him, too. Because normal is boring. This is a dark, erotic romance. Open it at your own risk. Don't say I didn't warn you. Now that you've decided to ignore my warning, please, by all means, enjoy.

Billionaire Romance: Mine Tonight

She was broken. He was inevitable. Seraphine Ashton Academy Award-winning actress and America’s Sweetheart thought she’d survived the worst when she finally escaped her toxic, controlling boyfriend. But when Derek Castellan orchestrates her public humiliation at a film premiere, flaunting his new relationship in front of cameras and the world, Seraphine’s carefully rebuilt confidence shatters. Forced to attend an exclusive charity gala just days later, the last thing she expects is a encounter with a mysterious stranger on a shadowed terrace. He’s intensely private, dangerously perceptive, and sees past her celebrity facade to the wounded woman beneath. For fifteen minutes, Seraphine feels truly seen for the first time in years. What she doesn’t know is that the stranger is Damien Hale the world’s richest and most powerful man, a ghost in the business world who controls empires from the shadows and never, ever reveals himself to the public. And in those fifteen minutes, Damien makes a decision that will change both their lives forever: Seraphine Ashton is his to protect. When Derek’s career begins to mysteriously implode projects falling through, financing vanishing, doors slamming shut across Hollywood Seraphine suspects the impossible. Could the enigmatic man from the gala be behind her ex’s downfall? And if so, what does he want from her? Damien’s answer is simple: everything. He doesn’t ask for her permission to destroy her enemies. He doesn’t seek her approval to clear obstacles from her path. He simply declares with absolute certainty that she belongs to him and he’s willing to wait for her to realize the same truth he knew from the moment he saw her. Now Seraphine must navigate a world where the most powerful man alive has decided she’s his, where protection feels like possession, and where surrender might be the only path to freedom. Damien Hale doesn’t do relationships. He doesn’t compromise. He doesn’t fail. But for Seraphine, he’ll learn. Because when a man who controls everything meets the one woman he can’t control, the only question is: who will surrender first?

Extra’s Sect, Chosen One Flees, Heaven Tremble

Jiu Xian never wanted to chase immortality. He only wanted a quiet life, a loving wife, and a small home in his village. But on the most important day of his life, an immortal fairy descended from the heavens, declaring his bride possessed rare talent — and took her away as a disciple. Before leaving, she offered a cruel thread of hope… and a suspicious cultivation manual. If Jiu Xian reaches the Golden Core Realm within one hundred years, he may claim his fiancée back. For a mortal with no background, no master, and no destiny… it was an impossible condition. Armed with nothing but stubbornness, a wine vat, and a very luck dependent manual, Jiu Xian steps onto the path of cultivation. The heavens always have a plan. Years pass.

And their destinies threaten to crush everything in their path… including Jiu Xian’s sect. While legends clash and destiny plays its game, Jiu Xian walks a different road: He cultivates. He brews wine. He protects his people. And when the heavens come to collect their due… This “extra” sect master and the 'extra elders' will stand against them all.

MARVEL: SIGN-IN SYSTEM

Karl inexplicably transmigrated into the Marvel Universe… This was a world perpetually on the brink of catastrophe. You could be asleep in your apartment when the Hulk rampaged through a city block, reducing concrete and steel to rubble and turning ordinary civilians into collateral damage overnight. Beyond Earth’s borders, alien empires and interdimensional entities constantly set their sights on the planet. From extraterrestrial warlords to reality-warping demons lurking in other planes, invasion or annihilation was never a distant possibility—it was a recurring event. Humanity itself offered no guarantee of safety. The emergence of mutants had reshaped global politics and fear alike. While many sought peaceful coexistence, extremist factions such as the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants had repeatedly embraced violence and terrorism in pursuit of mutant supremacy. Meanwhile, super-villains with ambitions ranging from domination to total destruction emerged in endless succession. Even S.H.I.E.L.D., the intelligence agency tasked with safeguarding global security, had been deeply compromised in the past by Hydra—a clandestine terrorist network that infiltrated its ranks for decades, manipulating world events from the shadows. After inheriting the original owner’s memories, Karl’s first instinct was to rely on his Chinese nationality and relocate to China, hoping distance might offer a measure of safety. Then he heard: 【System Activation in progress… System Activation Complete…】

[Romance] Lord Black Dragon Still Hasn't Hatched Today

Jasmine received "shocking" news: she had to marry the Dragon Ghost as his wife. But in exchange, after the marriage, she would inherit the entire estate, subjects, and territory of her husband. Jasmine was overjoyed: "Is there such a sweet deal in this world?" On the wedding day, she dressed up sharply and stepped into the magnificent cathedral, casting an affectionate glance toward her future partner. And then she saw... a Dragon Egg. The majestic Dragon Ghost was nowhere to be seen; there was only an egg lying there all by itself. Inventory of assets: A dilapidated castle, with drafty winds blowing in from all directions. Subjects: Three hundred skin-and-bone slaves who, at first glance, looked like walking skeletons about to collapse from hunger. Territory: A dead land spanning ten thousand square kilometers around the Dragon Valley, so desolate that "dogs eat stones and chickens eat pebbles." Jasmine knew she had fallen for the scam of the century, but unfortunately, the knights who escorted Jasmine here had long since "whipped their horses and vanished," running away a long time ago. An old butler, so aged he could barely walk, tremblingly stepped forward, waiting for the new Lord's instructions: "My Lord..." Jasmine held the "egg-husband" in her arms, and her rational nerves snapped: "I have land and people, could I really let myself starve to death?" Putting words into action, Jasmine rolled up her sleeves and officially embarked on the path of tilling the soil to get rich. Many years later. A strange town suddenly appeared on the mainland, rumored to be obscenely wealthy. From that place flowed exquisite fabrics, pure white porcelain, and sparkling jewelry... Anyone who had ever set foot there could not help but exclaim in amazement, while wandering poets competed to compose poems praising that prosperity until their throats were sore. A certain greedy King became overcome with avarice and brought a massive army, intending to seize the town for his own. The result? They were treated to the sight of a giant dragon descending from the sky to "pay them a visit."
