Who remembers the ruin of a god? Who dares to chase what was never meant to be touched, let alone claimed? Noor—an enigma draped in silk, a storm without thunder, a shadow that bends the world yet leaves no trace. Men speak of her in hushed corridors where power is traded like currency. No one knows her name. No one owns her story. No hand dares linger. She walks unclaimed. Unseen. Forgotten by design. “If you knew what I’ve done,” she whispers, her breath colder than moonlight, “You’d be praying I never look your way again.” But some things refuse to be buried. Some ghosts don’t stay dead. Some touches… don’t fade. Sanlang, sculpted in golden light, worshipped by millions, untouchable—except by the shadows clawing at the edges of his memory. And in those shadows, her eyes. “I’ve seen you before,” he says, voice trembling like a man on the edge of fire. “ Tell me your name.” She smiles. It begins with whispers in the dark. A body that remembers hers before the mind does. Desire wrapped in danger. Memory soaked in sin. “What are you?” he demands. “Everything you were never meant to survive.” He thinks he’s chasing her. He thinks he’s in control. He is wrong. “Touch me again,” she says, voice velvet and venom, “and I’ll show you the truth. .” He who was never meant to remember. But now that he does… the only question that remains is: “Will you let me live?” “Live?” she echoes. “What makes you think you get to choose again?”

Marrying the horrendous King of Lievca couldn't get any worse since Elsie, the white princess of Sevannah, had heard a myriad of tales about the unfortunate demise of Lievca's Queen that had plagued the kingdom half a decade ago. And Moon, never has she ever thought her life would play a sick game on her that has her thrown into the high walls of The Great Lievca. Never in her wildest dreams had Elsie imagined she would end up baring her neck to the mysterious monarch of Lievca to mark her as his — which very much could grant her a death sentence. Because Ace, the King of Lievca, is fighting a war no one sees — one against the demons clawing through his mind, whispering of blood and betrayal. "Don't get too close, it's where my demons hide..." But when whispers from the past claw their way back into the court, and Elsie starts seeing flickers of the dead Queen in mirrors and dreams, she realizes the demon in the King may not be the only one lurking in Lievca.

I stopped sleeping around the time I started seeing shadows that didn’t belong to anyone. The kind that breathed behind cupboard doors. Whispered when no one else was home. I used to think I was losing my mind. Then I met Ardere. She transferred in with haunted eyes and bruises she didn’t talk about. The kind of girl who didn’t touch anyone—and for good reason. Her power wasn’t fire, or flight, or anything survivable. It was grief. Weaponized. If she brushed your skin, you felt every dead thing that ever lived inside her. Most people stayed away. I couldn’t. She was dangerous in a way no one understood. And I was already too hollow to care. Maybe that’s why her power didn’t break me the way it broke everyone else. Or maybe it did. Just slower. Then the people who once stole her came back. And the only way to stop what’s coming is to let her be taken again. To make her break loud enough that they come running. She asked me to help her do it. And I did. I hurt her in ways I swore I never would. She’s gone now. And I don’t know if what’s left of her will ever come back.

“This weak, pathetic omega thought she could be my mate and my Luna.” He paused, letting everyone feel his disgust. “She cried for attention, and begged for my cock, and whispered sweet things into my ears. But she is worthless. She has no strength. No pride. No grace. She is just an empty whore.” The crowd gasped, some nodded. Their eyes followed his every word. My legs turned weak as I felt flooded with helplessness. He looked down at me like I was a bug and said. “Aria Blake. Mate of the Alpha no more. You mean nothing to me. Tonight, I cast you out.” **** Aria Blake was the quiet omega everyone ignored, the one no one thought would ever matter. So when she discovered her fated mate was Jaxon Storm, the cold and powerful Alpha of the West, she believed her life was finally about to change. She was wrong. Jaxon crushed her hope, humiliated her, and cast her out without a second thought. Heartbroken and alone, Aria fled into the dark forest. She thought she’d lost everything—until she learned she was carrying his child. Hunted and terrified, Aria tried to disappear. But fate wasn’t finished. Four powerful Alphas found her. Each one protected her. Each one awakened something inside her. And each one turned out to be her second chance mates. Not just one. Not two. But four. Now, Aria is no longer the weak girl they once overlooked. She's a mother to be, a Luna in the making, and a storm the Alphas never saw coming. And when Jaxon comes back to claim what he threw away, he’ll learn the hard way that you don’t cast aside a queen and expect her to stay down.

Ace had always harbored feelings for his childhood friend, only to have his heart shattered when he learned she was secretly in love with Duke. The betrayal left him disheartened, but nothing could have prepared him for what came next. That night, instead of waking up to another ordinary day, he opened his eyes in a completely different world—inside another man's body. Worse still, the first thing he heard upon waking was yet another rejection. Thrown into an unfamiliar land with a past he doesn't remember and a future he never planned for, Ace faces a choice: chase after love once more or embrace a new passion—one that comes in the form of an unexpected farming system. As he cultivates spirit crops and reaps rewards beyond imagination, he begins to wonder: perhaps love isn't found in a person, but in the soil, the growth, and the endless possibilities of the land. Will Ace sow the seeds of a new destiny, or will the echoes of rejection root him in the past?

MATURE CONTENT WARNING!!: These people be getting freaky in the sheets! "You think I haven’t noticed your eyes on me?" Kai En's voice was dangerously low, his lips curled into a cruel smile. "The way they linger— you can’t decide whether to kill me or kiss me. Am I right, little alpha?" ... For as long as Jun could remember, vengeance had been his only purpose. The last survivor of a disgraced family, he vowed to tear down the empire that destroyed his life, starting with its most prized jewel—Prince Feng Kai En.  Now, under the guise of Xiao Liu, a lowly servant in the prince’s retinue, he plans his revenge. But nothing could have prepared him for what awaited within the palace walls. Neither Xiao Liu’s sharp blades nor detailed plans were good enough to fall the man behind the title. Every failed assassination attempt and heated exchange left him more entangled with the man he was meant to destroy. Kai En—ruthless, untouchable, and powerful. An alpha in the eyes of all. Xiao Liu uncovered the prince’s greatest secret—beneath the façade lay something far more dangerous and vulnerable. Something Xiao Liu intended to exploit. Duty had always been Kai En’s burden. Yet Xiao Liu’s presence stirred emotions long buried—desires with no place in his world. Every attempt on his life only deepened the prince’s fascination, pulling him into the chaos Xiao Liu brought. As war looms and enemies close in, their dangerous dance intensifies. Desire grows where hate once ruled, pulling them into a storm of violence, lust, and something deeper. “You’ll never belong to anyone else,” Xiao Liu snarled, his lips finding Kai En’s neck again, biting down hard. “Not her. Not anyone. You belong to me.” Xiao Liu knows Kai En is the key to his revenge, but the more their lives tangle, the harder it becomes to tell if it’s vengeance he craves… or the prince himself. And Kai En must face the ultimate test that could break his kingdom and heart. Can Xiao Liu destroy the man he’s come to obsess over, or will he fall first?

NOTE: THIS IS ALL FANFIC OUT OF MY IMAGINATION. Sean Xiao (Xiao Zhan. I'll direct him as such in this novel it might be a short story or maybe longer than I expected let's hope and read together) Sean Xiao and Wang jie(Wang yibo. I'll also direct him as such in the novel). are twins born on the same day. Sean, was just few seconds older than Wang jie. But they were separated due to an unexpected event which was still strange to the Xiao family. In summary, this is a story about two un-identical twin brothers who were separated... I'm even confused with the summary. I only have the idea. I suggest you read and enjoy. Additional note: no r-rated events maybe cuss words but I'll try to be as innocent as I've claimed to be. I'm an innocent mind. just enjoy the brothers who go through ups and downs with great turn of events and later of course, a reassured fate. _____________________________________ Remember to support your lovely author.
