"Where did it all go wrong?" "I was supposed to be a king. But now… I'm stuck wandering for the last three hundred years." Neva sighed softly. "Oh, I know. I really should have listened to Uncle Nitin. Breaking the law never ends well." Neva recalled and felt deep regret. One foolish mistake when he was young and ambitious led him down a path where he no longer knew what was real or fake. Was he really a Domain Lord who had countless nations under his rule? Or was he driven mad by the fog? If he was so delusional, why are all his ends losing to his hallucinations? Neva sighed and turned his head. "Get away from me! Neva, America is bullying me. She lost the war fair and square!" The United Kingdom said, clutching her crown. "That's fake news!" America retorted as she filled her Desert Eagle with a fresh magazine. I never lost." Neva's face twitched as he clutched his head. "I have to be hallucinating. I have to be."

"Can you do it, baby girl?" Drystan purrs in her ear, tattooed fingers digging into her hip, leaving bruises for her to admire later. She nods, incapable of speaking with Alexander's long fingers so deep in her throat. "So pretty," she hears Alexander praise, hazel eyes rising up to meet his forest greens in the kind of reverence that is only reserved for gods. "Will you be a good girl and let us fill you up?" His fingers leave her mouth with a pop, her teary eyes looking back at Drystan pleadingly. "Yes, please," she shakes, fingers clutching Alexander's shirt as Drystan stretches her. "Please, daddy," *

Meet Eleanor "Ellie" Chen, a spirited and somewhat clumsy 38-year-old woman whose life takes an unexpected detour from her quiet hometown in a powerful, unnamed Eastern nation to the bustling heart of the United States (the "Most Powerful Nation"). After a series of bewildering mishaps and an immigration snafu she still can't quite explain, Ellie finds herself with one peculiar job offer: a cleaner at the illustrious White House. Armed with her trusty mop, an unusual knack for attracting chaos, and a complete lack of filter, Ellie is a fish out of water in the highly formal, meticulously ordered world of presidential politics. From accidentally flooding the Oval Office to mistaking a foreign dignitary for a lost delivery man, her tenure at the White House is a constant source of eye-rolling exasperation and bewildered amusement for the staff. Enter President Jonathan "Jon" Sterling, the most powerful man in the world. He's known for his decisive nature, his sharp wit, and a surprisingly short fuse when it comes to presidential protocol. Initially, Ellie is nothing more than a bizarre, yet oddly charming, nuisance. But as her unvarnished honesty, unexpected insights, and hilarious misadventures slowly chip away at his presidential facade, Jon finds himself inexplicably drawn to this woman who sees past the title to the man underneath. "The President Fell for His White House Cleaner" is a hilarious, heartwarming, and utterly improbable romantic comedy about an ordinary woman stumbling into the most extraordinary of love stories. With a backdrop of White House antics, laugh-out-loud misunderstandings, and a sprinkling of international intrigue from Ellie's mysterious past, this novel proves that love can blossom in the most unlikely of places, even between the leader of the free world and his favorite — and most chaotic — cleaner.

There won't be a harem (or in the case of this novel, a reverse-harem). The novel is also heavily inspired by R.I., S.S., and The Poppy War. 2. The best I can do is 2 to 3 chapter per weeks since I'm currently working two jobs and a very important degree. 3. I'll keep it free to read so if you like what you see, you can support me through power stones and feedbacks. There is also a Patreon link if you want to donate and help me have more time to write.

The dead should stay dead. Kael Arvid repeated the words like a prayer as he adjusted the raven mask over his scarred face. The carved beak pressed cold against the bridge of his nose, the eyeholes narrowing his vision to slits of flickering torchlight. Beneath him, the ballroom of House Dain shimmered—a grotesque painting of gold and rot. Nobles laughed behind ivory masks, their gloved hands clutching goblets of wine dark as clotting blood. The air reeked of clove and something fouler beneath, like meat left too long in the sun. He hadn't come for wine. The dagger at his belt was hungry. It had waited seven years for this night. Seven years since House Dain's soldiers kicked in the door of his family's cottage. Seven years since he'd watched from the treeline as the flames turned his sister's screams to smoke. Seven years of imagining this moment—the moment he'd slide steel between Lord Dain's ribs and whisper his family's names as the light

In this magic-suffused land, a girl had been forgotten by the world in a quiet corner.

To them, she was only "Blackie": the magicless one, the world's outsider. On her eighteenth year, a thread of dark mana, unlike anything before, stirred within her. Like lightning cleaving through a chaotic dream, it illuminated her path in an instant.

From overlooked dust to the storm's eye… Her magic adventure was quietly beginning. "Take my mother's surname, Vane. So call me... Ellis Vane." The girl reached for the quill, its tip trailing shards of starlight in the twilight.

Volume 1 “Unspoken Summer”. Tells the story of love and self-discovery between Ellie and Bella, two women who must fight in a world that still largely opposes same-sex love. Set in the 2000s, when LGBTQ was still considered taboo and not fully accepted by society, they find comfort and courage in loving each other amidst the fear of rejection. In Volume 1, we will witness how they grow, face their fears, and struggle to find their place in the world, despite what others may think of them. It’s a story about finding strength within oneself and each other, even as the outside world remains full of prejudice. Volume 2 and Volume 3 will introduce new characters and new stories, but will remain focused on the theme of love between women, taking readers deeper into a world that hasn’t been widely explored, with the hope of providing broader representation for the LGBTQ community, particularly for women who love women.
