I woke up in a cold, prison cell injured and with no memories, only the echo of a name I couldn't place and a pair of storm-dark eyes, haunting my dreams. He told me that I am his queen. That I belonged to him. King Vesperian, the enigmatic king with a smile like sin and a gaze that unraveled me. He pulled me from the shadows and draped me in silks and jewels, swearing I was safe, cherished… loved. But if I was his, why did it feel like I was being watched, studied, played?

The court whispers, the walls close in, and with every fleeting memory that returns, I’m forced to wonder: is this a second chance at love—or the beginning of a dangerous game I already lost once?

Alice, an seemingly ordinary human, finds her life irrevocably changed when she falls deeply in love with Shawn, a captivating being who is half-vampire and half-demon. Their passionate connection leads to a pivotal moment where Alice's hidden powers awaken, revealing her true identity: she is the long-lost Demon Queen, Nyx. This revelation, however, comes with a dark side; her newfound demonic nature amplifies her negative emotions, causing her to lash out and even harm those she cares about. Struggling with her dual nature, Alice is drawn to a mysterious, ancient castle, her maternal home, where she reunites with her mother, Zhou—a powerful witch.

There, she fully embraces her role as Queen Nyx, ruling with a firm hand and even encountering her demon king father, Drexel (who is also Lucifer's nephew). As Nyx, she exhibits formidable power and a ruthless streak, leading to a tense confrontation with Shawn, her love, who tries to bring her back to her "Alice" self. Their tumultuous relationship deepens as they navigate her volatile powers and his attempts to keep her grounded. The story delves into Alice's struggle to balance her human heart with her demonic destiny, her relationships with both her birth family and Shawn, and the challenges of her reign in Hell. Ultimately, through their trials and unwavering love, Alice and Shawn succeed in forging an unprecedented peace between the vampire, demon, and witch realms, uniting their disparate worlds.

One is a world-renowned pianist, Ye Xi, a piano prodigy, and the other is a high-profile (American-grown Asian), Yan Alex Feng, a huge pop star and a true celebrity.

All Bella ever desired was love, but her eyes only saw bone-chilling coldness until the day she was dragged into the depths of hell. Why? Because she wasn't the heroine of that so-called 'fairy tale'. Her fate was even crueler than she could imagine, described in a few lines written in an old book. A book that was written by some higher beings for their own entertainment, but they tossed it aside after just one cycle, not caring about the crumbling world within. After repeatedly reading the lines that depicted her death, Bella finally realized her bitter reality. Perhaps, if she went back death was the only ending... but instead of sorrow, a crazy glint shone in her emotionless eyes. After all, she had already died many times in the hellish place she entered a long, long time ago. "It's not a big deal to die once more, right?" In the midst of the pitch-black darkness seeping through the cracks in the sky, a beautiful silhouette swimming in a pool of water looked at her with knitted brows, showing dissatisfaction at her comment. He extended his hand and pinched her nose with a sigh. "Why do you always think of the worst?" A faint blush appeared on his cheeks when her previously emotionless eyes turned into crescents, peering at him playfully. "You-!" Alas, before he could finish his sentence, a warm hand grabbed his wrist and yanked him out of the water into a tight embrace. A deep exhale brushed against his pale skin as Bella nuzzled her nose against the crook of his neck with a satisfied expression. "If you give me a kiss, I won't say it anymore." A giggle escaped her lips when the man in her arms froze, his exposed neck turning a brilliant shade of crimson. 'How cute.' ------------- ------------- This story revolves around lots of characters as they discover their cruel reality. There are many supernatural beings and magical realms.
