My Favorite Kidnapper Melanie Moreland

Ketika semua orang mengagungkan Dewa Kemakmuran, Hiyori justru ingin menendangnya ke neraka. Gunung Kouzu, tempat suci di antara Desa Shinra dan Shinrei, dipercaya menjadi tempat tinggal Dewa Kemakmuran yang katanya sakti dan dihormati. Dewa itu menjadi kunci kemakmuran banyak orang, bahkan di luar kedua desa tersebut. Dewa itu adalah satu-satunya tempat penduduk desa meminta pertolongan. Namun, bagi Hiyori yang selalu diminta Tetua Desa untuk mengantarkan makanan dan buah-buahan sebagai persembahan ke kediaman dewa itu, Hiyori tahu satu fakta yang tidak diketahui siapa pun: Dewa itu genitnya minta ampun! Dia hobi gombal, suka melempar pujian tak pantas dengan wajah tak berdosa, dan punya kebiasaan menenggak bir seolah itu teh suci. Pokoknya, dia lebih mirip dewa genit dengan misi pribadi daripada figur surgawi yang bersinar tenang. Dan yang paling gila? Dia menyuruh Hiyori memanggilnya dengan sebutan 'Dewa Hymen', yaitu dewa perkawinan. Apa-apaan? Jadi, waktu pertama kali Hiyori naik gunung untuk mengantarkan persembahan, dia pulang dengan terbirit-birit. Bertemu dewa bukannya membuat dia merasa aman, dia justru takut akan menjadi korban kemesuman Dewa Hymen yang selanjutnya!

Dearest Reader, this very story is one created for those who like stories. Mary is apparently reborn, despite not remembering her prior life. A voice is ringing inside her head, calling her the protagonist of the world. In the fantasy world she is living in from this point on, Mary is taking on a journey of emotions and magic. She is accompanied by a great number of people, most notably the seemingly omniscient voice which only she can hear. A meta-fictional story about stories, writing tropes and fiction itself.

The 'tragic' truth tells us that time-traveling is a technical skill, and clearly, Ye Zao was mediocre at it. Being duped by her own penny-pinching uncle into becoming a lowly concubine in someone else's house was bad enough, but why did it have to be in Fourth Master's residence? Being just a mere Concubine, how was she to get by? The starting point was too low, the background too poor, the bargaining chips too few! The big BOSS had too much HP, and every mini BOSS was lethal! After much deliberation, playing the virtuous act would get her killed, because there was Lady Ulaanala ahead of her. Playing the shrew would also lead to death, for there was Li Consort Fujin behind her. Bearing sons wasn't permitted, yet not bearing them left her with no support—what a conundrum of a life! Having finally maneuvered her way from the residence into the palace, she still had The Empress Dowager on top, who disliked her for not looking dignified enough! Fortunately, Fourth Master didn't mind, and he secretly quite fancied her undignified looks! Ye Zao's goal was to live a good life, clothed in silk and jewels, exalted and lofty.

Wenyan read a book in which a cannon-fodder character sharing her name was a false heiress.

This is a fantasy world like any other — Kingdoms. Towns. Nobles. A power called Senar that fuels it all. And like most fantasy worlds… It’s drowning in war. For over a thousand years, humans have fought the Darkbeasts — monsters born of nightmare, clawing their way through cities and legacies alike. Our MC? Silias Raverant. A laid-back nobody from a village no one remembers. A boy with a dormant Mythical bloodline, no access to Senar, and no place in a world that worships power. Except… he's not normal. Not even close. Born with raw superhuman strength and instincts that evolve without limit, Silias could crush most soldiers before breakfast — if only he cared enough to try. He doesn’t. He just wants one thing: To join the military, rack up points, and stay close to her — the girl chosen by prophecy, taken away as one of the Five meant to end the war. That was the plan… Until the World Will whispered in his ear. Until a System blinked into existence. Until he slaughtered a Darkbeast Prodigy and became a beacon for its kind. And until it told him the truth. He’s going to die. Soon. And maybe… just maybe… That’s where his story begins.

Title: His Favorite Poison: Until Death Makes Us Worse Genre: Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller | Possessive Male Lead | Tragedy | Obsession --- Synopsis: It started with a scream. Mira Thorne kicked the back of the driver’s seat, rage and fear blending in her bloodshot eyes. “Stop the car!” she shouted, her voice cracking. But the men in front only glanced at her through the rearview mirror—smirking, silent, and cruel. She kicked again. Harder. The car swerved. CRASH! Glass shattered. Tires screamed. The car flipped, spun, then hit a ditch with a thud. Mira’s body slammed into the door. Pain tore through her, but she didn’t wait. She crawled out. Ran. A flash of headlights nearly blinded her—another car almost crushed her bones, but she dove aside at the last second. Blood in her mouth. Her limbs shaking. Then she saw the forest. Thick. Dark. Unforgiving. She ran straight down the hill—stumbled—rolled—tumbled into the trees. The air tore her lungs, but she didn’t stop. Behind her, car doors slammed. Footsteps followed. “Stop running, Mira!” She didn’t. Gunshots rang out. Bang! A searing pain exploded in her arm. She screamed, fell again, rolled over dry leaves and stone. Still, she rose. And then… She saw it. A mansion. Dark stone. Down the hill. Looming like a sleeping beast. She ran. Her legs barely holding. Her blood soaking her sleeve. And just as she stumbled past a cluster of trees—she saw him. Standing at the edge of the mansion’s balcony. A glass of wine in hand. Eyes sharp and expression unreadable. Damien Voss. She screamed, desperate, broken. “Help me!” He only raised an eyebrow. And behind him—two tigers stepped into view, their fur glinting in the moonlight. Mira froze. The men still chased her. Gunshots behind. Her vision swam. Her legs gave out. But she stood. She ran toward the tigers. They lunged. She dodged—barely. Her mind screamed to survive. Her body obeyed. She reached the edge. Damien tilted his head. She collapsed in front of him, kneeling, gasping, kowtowing at his feet. > “Please… save me.” He crouched down, cold eyes meeting hers. His fingers curled under her chin. > “If I save you… what do I gain?” Behind them, one of the pursuers screamed— A tiger ripped into him. The others tried to escape. Too late. Damien raised his hand. The tigers stopped. Silent. Obedient. One man’s body was already torn open on the grass. Mira trembled. > “I’ll give you anything,” she whispered. “Money?” “Everything. My soul. My life. Just let me live.” Damien’s lips curved. He chuckled. Low. Dark. He waved his hand. Bullets rained. His guards appeared from the shadows and opened fire—merciless and precise. Mira flinched as blood splattered beside her. She didn’t dare move. --- If I can’t be happy, nobody can,” Mira says. “If I want you to be happy, you will be,” Damien replies. “I’ll kill anyone who stands in my way—including you.” “Then I’ll buy coffins for both of us—or we can share one.” “I’ll be your poison.” “Then I’ll take it.” “I will never be with you.” “Then you’ll be the reason the world ends.” “I don’t care if the world drowns in blood.” “Then I’ll make it happen—and you’ll be the star of the show, my little pet.” ____ She called herself a thorn. A curse. A walking poison. He called her entertainment, obsession—his favorite game. Even when he vomited blood, he reached for her. I told you I will be your death she said > “I’m attracted to poisonous flowers,” he replied “Till death tears us apart,” she whispered as she watch him frown in pain from the poison. “Till death tears us never,” he swore, pressing his lips to hers. warning warning the FL and the ml are red flags

When it comes to a superbug like me, no antibiotic can help.” Phan Thanh Luong smiled confidently and looked at her: “From that very moment, in my heart, I knew: Even if she’s a flower in a pot, if the owner doesn’t cherish her — I will smash the pot and steal the flower!” If you're in the mood for something deeper: If emotional, soul-stirring love stories with a touch of fantasy are more your style, don’t miss “When the Heart Remembers” — a story I poured my heart and soul into.
