Here Reigns The Vengeful Villainess Manhwa

In a world where cultivation is everything, where strength is the only path to survival and power, there exists a paradox—the false immortals, beings who should have never existed in the eyes of all but who would soon challenge the very foundations of this world. This is the story of two souls, once humble and underestimated, who rose against fate itself, twisting the very essence of cultivation to their own whims and forging a bond that defied all logic. Li Jue, a boy who clawed his way from weakness to unimaginable strength, and Li Feng, a woman of unparalleled grace and deadly precision, stood together as equals, their love and ambition intertwined. Feared and despised, they would carve their names into the annals of history, challenging gods and emperors alike. They were the False Immortals, and they would stop at nothing to shape the world in their image.

In a world of nobility, secrets, and forbidden love, Juliette De Vervaine once lived a life that seemed perfect, surrounded by family, wealth, and affection. The daughter of a powerful Duke, her future was set—until tragedy struck. Her father’s untimely death at a young age shattered her sense of security, and the sudden loss of her beloved brother left her orphaned and vulnerable. With only her cruel uncle to turn to, Juliette’s once idyllic life spirals into darkness. At the age of fifteen, Juliette is forced into an arranged marriage with Henri de la Roche, a Marquess who seeks nothing more than to claim her inheritance and diminish her worth. But life with him is a never-ending nightmare of betrayal, manipulation, and cruelty. Stripped of her status and her dignity, Juliette finds herself a prisoner in her own home, abandoned by all but the cruelest of fates. Accused of a crime she didn’t commit—the poisoning of the royal family’s wine—Juliette’s life is torn from her. As she faces death at the hands of those who betrayed her, her soul is consumed by a burning thirst for vengeance. Yet fate is not done with her. In her final moments, she is sent back in time, given a second chance at life, and a new opportunity to rewrite her destiny. Armed with the knowledge of the past and the scars of her torment, Juliette embarks on a journey to seek revenge against those who wronged her, all while navigating the dangerous waters of forbidden love, secrets, and power. But the road to vengeance is fraught with peril, and Juliette soon discovers that her heart is torn between two powerful forces: the enigmatic Crown Prince, whose dark past mirrors her own, and the seemingly righteous Second Prince, who harbors secrets of his own. In this world where trust is a fragile illusion, and love can be as dangerous as the deepest betrayal, Juliette must decide who she can trust, who she can love, and how far she is willing to go to reclaim what was stolen from her. A love as delicate as a rose, but thorns sharper than vengeance—Juliette’s story is one of passion, power, and the unrelenting pursuit of justice.

In a kingdom where bloodlines dictate power, Prince Kaelen Varenthis was destined to rule, but fate has other plans. Born into a long line of kings, Kaelen is the heir to a throne embroiled in political turmoil and bloodshed. His family has long wielded the power of Form Shifting—a mystical ability to transform one's body and essence into powerful beasts, elemental forces, and even abstract concepts like time and shadow. However, Kaelen's Form Shifting abilities far exceed those of anyone in the kingdom, even his ancestors. At the height of his coming-of-age ceremony, a deadly rival faction orchestrates the elimination of his siblings, thrusting Kaelen into the heart of a ruthless battle for the throne. With his kingdom divided and enemies lurking in every corner, Kaelen must master the full extent of his powers and reshape not only his own destiny but that of the entire kingdom.

As Kaelen learns to harness his abilities, he discovers that he can alter not only his own form but also the infrastructure of his kingdom—crafting cities, technologies, and even bending nature itself to his will. But with great power comes even greater challenges. The more versatile the form, the greater the toll it takes on his body and soul. As Kaelen works to reunite the fractured kingdom, he must navigate political intrigue, forge powerful alliances, and defend his people from both external invasions and internal betrayals. With every step, he learns that true power is not just in shifting forms but in forging a vision of the future—a vision that can unite the fractured factions and build a new era of prosperity. But Kaelen's rise will not be without sacrifice. To conquer the shifting tides of politics, master his powers, and build a legacy, he must decide how much of himself he's willing to lose. Will he overcome the limitations of his Form Shifting abilities, or will the infinite power that courses through him be his undoing?

|Mafia boss×Mafia's son| Warning: extremely mature content. - Couple one: Despite her trying to sound cool, he could hear her slight pants. "What were you doing?" He asked, forgetting everything. That's how it was for them. They could be in the middle of the most serious issue yet the slightest change in their breathing would make the other curious. "If I say that I was, or more like, am fingering myself while thinking about you, would you come here and f*ck me?" She said while putting two fingers inside of herself. A moan left her lips and his d*ck hardened on the other side. "F*ck, Andrew, ah," she was moaning on purpose, to get a reaction out of him. She wanted to test him till he broke and later fulfilled her with his entire being. She knew that she wasn't supposed to want him and so did he but the heart wants what the heart wants. And forbidden fruits always taste better. - All of a sudden, he moved a little away and by not feeling the same sensation as before, she opened her eyes with an annoyed look. She was almost about to come. "Why did you stop -" she was cut off by her own moan. He did the most unthinkable thing. He slapped her pu*sy. She thought that it would hurt her but it had the exact opposite reaction. It ended up sending an electric shock through her body but one that was filled with pleasure. She was looking at him with pleading eyes. She didn't know what she wanted him to do but she wanted something from him and he understood even though she didn't vocalize her thoughts. He made a silent promise to fulfill all of her fantasies and with that, he slapped her again. And she moaned in pleasure again. Who knew that something that counts as a punishment could bring one so much pleasure? - Tangled by an interesting past, lust, and underworld matters. And most importantly heart. Both of them refused to fall for the other again but for how long? In this twisted game called lust, would they end up falling for each other? -- Couple two: "Stars are pretty," he said. She gave him a sad smile. "But people always say that you are going to lose the moon while counting the stars but the moon got scars and you can't stare at the sun for two minutes, you are bound to get blind by its light and how can you love someone you can't even look at?" "So we shouldn't love anything at all?" "If you are willing to take the risk then sure, you can." "Maybe I am or maybe I don't have any choice of my own. If you were given a chance, what would have you been?" "Dust probably," she said, not looking at him anymore. "Dust why? Don't they fly away?" "I wish to be like the dust so that I can fly away. Everything except the dust that flies is desired in one way or another, for example: A bird is caged in the name of love, just because someone wants to keep it. A flower that was torn away from its home and later toasted away in a place where the wind makes it blown, at least one person is going to like it enough to keep it with them till they don't like it anymore. Nobody can see dust, let alone desire it. Maybe being undesired isn't always the bad thing." -- "I trusted you but you broke my trust. You could have told me the truth." "You never seemed interested enough in my truth." "I wasn't? You never bothered asking me anything, you just assumed and ruined everything because that's all you can do. You don't deserve my trust." "I know," she muttered under her breath, fully knowing that he was too good for her to ruin him. -- "Don't do this to yourself just because you hate me. Don't ruin your life, I am begging you." "Because of you? Why would you think that you deserve any of my thoughts, my emotions? You don't even exist to me." And she was again feeling unworthy, a word that was never going to leave her side. -- In the midst of misunderstanding, complications, and hate, will they find love?

Edward Blake never imagined that death would be the least of his worries. When a tragic accident thrusts him into the pages of Obsidian Chronicles, a manhwa he barely remembered reading, he wakes up as Edward Arclight, the disgraced Duke of a crumbling estate in the mighty Aurelis Empire. Once a powerful family that shaped the empire’s history, the Arclights now hold nothing but a hollow title and a barren land plagued by unrest and debt. The world Edward finds himself in is one of magic intertwined with relics of advanced technology. After an apocalypse a thousand years ago shattered civilization, humanity rebuilt from the ashes, blending ancient tech with powerful magic to forge kingdoms and empires. Yet this fragile society now faces a growing threat—the return of the Demon King, a malevolent being sealed away by ancient heroes during the apocalypse but never truly defeated. Edward’s headache intensifies when he realizes the manhwa’s destined protagonist—the hero meant to lead the charge against the Demon King—doesn’t exist in this version of the story. With no chosen savior and no script to follow, Edward is left with one horrifying conclusion: the responsibility to save the world might fall to him. But Edward Arclight is a duke in name only, and his people, bitter and downtrodden, see him as a symbol of failure. With dwindling resources, fractured alliances, and a land teetering on rebellion, Edward must rise from obscurity to rebuild the legacy of his house. Along the way, he discovers hidden truths about the apocalypse, the origins of the Demon King, and the mysterious artifacts of magic and technology that could hold the key to saving—or dooming—the world. Caught in a web of political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and the looming shadow of annihilation, Edward must rally reluctant allies, outwit his enemies, and awaken the power hidden within his family’s forgotten heritage. In a world where magic and technology collide and destiny has been thrown into chaos, the forgotten duke must rewrite his own fate and face the ultimate question: Can a side character defy fate and become a hero?
