The Veiled Simplicity

After transmigration, Lin Yue could hear a voice whispering in his ear every day, sharing all sorts of secrets with him. Small matters like the thoughts of the girl next door, to great mysteries like the secrets of the heavens, the voice persisted daily, broadcasting randomly. He originally wanted to live an unremarkable life, but in this world of Xianxia dynasties where mortals are considered as insignificant as weeds, the fate of an ordinary man without power is no longer in his own hands. Thus, he had no choice but to stop being 'just a person'. 'Your Majesty the Empress, you wouldn't want your secret of treason to be revealed by others, right?'

A kingdom on the edge of war. Three men locked in a battle of wits, will, and survival. Each with a target. Each with a purpose. None with the luxury of trust. A Soldier, forged in battle and betrayal, seeks only one thing-vengeance. His blade is drawn for the King who cast him aside, and though he is but a pawn in another's game, he cares not. If the Poet whispers the right words to guide his strike, so be it. He was always meant to kill. A Poet, whose words shape fates as surely as steel, watches from the shadows. He does not crave the throne, nor does he desire the King's downfall. He needs the King's power, the web of influence that shields his work. But the Soldier? The Soldier is a problem. A problem that must be erased. A King, who has ruled long enough to know that war is rarely won with swords alone. He respects the Soldier's strength, wishes to guide him toward peace-but peace is a fool's dream when the Poet lingers near. The King cannot allow the schemer to slip free, cannot allow the Soldier to fall deeper into his grasp. He watches, he waits, yet even a King's reach has limits. Each man has a target, but in a world where power shifts like sand and the lines between ally and enemy blur, the battle soon becomes more than they ever intended. In the end, only one will stand. Or perhaps, none at all.

Power is not given. It is taken. And Lilith Luna Dusk is ready to take it all. Five years ago, she was nothing, just a lost girl, drowning in the blood of a fallen pack, saved by a man who would one day become her greatest weakness. Now, she is a name whispered in fear, a force that built an empire from the ashes of her past. Ruthless. Untouchable. Cursed. But power is never enough. Not when the ghosts of her past still breathe. Not when fate plays its cruelest hand. At the Blackthorn Pack’s Moon Banquet, two men lay claim to her. Kade Draven—Alpha of Blackthorn, a calculating predator who calls her his mate. A man whose intentions are shrouded in secrets, whose ambition mirrors her own. Damon Volkova—the one who saved her, the one who still lingers in the shadows of her memories. The one whose very name sets her wolf on edge. The one she swore to never need again. One holds the key to her vengeance. The other, to a fate she refuses to accept. As enemies close in, alliances shift, and prophecies whisper of doom, Lilith must decide: Will she break the curse before it consumes her? Will she bow to fate—or defy it? And when the game of power turns deadly, who will be left standing? One thing is certain—the world will either kneel before her, or burn at her feet.

For centuries, the Veil has stood as the final barrier between the world of the living and the infernal depths of Hell. Forged in forgotten ages, sealed in blood and bone, it has withstood the rise of darkness—but now it is breaking. Cracks spread through its foundation. Shadows seep through the fractures. Cities burn. Kingdoms fall. And the Guardians of the Veil—sworn to keep the world from ruin—stand alone against the tide of annihilation. At their head stands Nyroth Solvain, leader of the Guardians and the last shield between order and oblivion. His strength has held the darkness at bay for years. His blade has never failed. His will has never faltered. But now, another force begins to rise. His son. Elian Solvain, young and untested, carries within him power vast enough to shift the tide of war—or break it entirely. The world looks to him as a symbol of hope. The Guardians believe he may be their greatest weapon. And so does Nyroth. He does not doubt his son. He does not question his potential. He sees the strength in him, the light that could lead them all. But he has seen power like this before—raw, untamed, and capable of reshaping the world in both creation and ruin. Nyroth does not voice his fear. He does not waver. Instead, he hardens himself, shaping Elian into what he must become. Because if Elian does not master his power… it will master him. The Veil is dying. The darkness is rising. And time is running out. Elian must stand. The Guardians must hold. Or the world will fall into ash and ruin.
