#SMUTTY #RED FLAG #STRONG MATURE CONTENT A/N: At least read the first ten chapters before tossing the book away. . . On her legal marriage ceremony, Poppy Sinclair receives the shock of her life when she is presented with another marriage certificate to a man whose name didn't exist in any records. Her family publicly humiliates her in front of everyone at the civil bureau, branding her a whore and a disgrace. And in front of her trembling eyes, her betrothed, Dale Roosevelt proceeds to marry her stepsister, Layla Sinclair instead, signing their marriage certificate right there. Poppy thought nothing her twisted family ever did could shock her. But she was wrong. Three days later, she is met with a truth she could never face — her fake marriage with the stranger was planned by her stepsister and betrothed, to a man they thought was deceased, just so that they could get married first and hide their affairs. "You'll marry Dale... even if it means being his second wife!" Her family had said when she exposed her half-sister. And when Poppy tried to rebel, she realized that fate was cruel to her. Her supposed husband, Alaric Langford, was a mad man the world knew nothing about, and a man no one dares to cross. Trapped in a twisted marriage, Poppy decided to go against her cruel fate and take revenge on everyone who had ruined her life. But something was weird. Why was her mad husband aggressive with others but clingy with her? And why was he strange sometimes like he was normal? ## EXCEPT 1 Poppy stopped just at the entrance... and froze. "What in the name of sanity...?" The front yard—no, the entire courtyard—was in chaos. They were guards everywhere, chasing after one man. And not just any man. A tall, dangerously handsome, half-naked man with wild black hair. He ran barefoot through the courtyard, laughing like a child who'd stolen candy, while the guards struggled to catch up. "GET HIM!" "HE'S HEADING FOR THE FOUNTAIN!" Poppy's mouth fell open. Her brain couldn't process what she was seeing. Why were they chasing him? The man suddenly paused when he sensed her. And then he turned. Their eyes met. She drew in a sharp breath at the eye contact. There was something disturbingly beautiful about him. His chest rose and fell as sweat glistened across his skin, and he looked at her curiously. Then he smiled. She felt her heart thunder wildly in her chest, but her face paled when she realized what he was about to do. Without warning, he yanked off the last piece of clothing he had on. Just like that, he was completely naked.

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.

[WARNING: SEXUAL VIOLENCE: RAPE, TORTURE, MURDER] Male MC| No-Harem| No Yuri| No Yaoi| No NTR ____________________ ____________________ “…Pathetic.” “Look at you. Crawling. Bleeding. Powerless.” “Same damn excuses, just like back then.” “Still so ready to give up.” “Those bullshit feelings made you weak.” “Have you forgotten your vow?” “The promise you swore in blood.” “If you're really him... then stand.” “Show them who you are.” “Rise—” “Let the darkness in once again.” --- In the quiet town of Velhart, Kael is mocked as the weakest adventurer. No one suspects the truth. Behind tired eyes and a dull smile lies a man with a past soaked in blood — a nightmare no one could survive and stay sane. An assassin who walked through hell itself. Now, he hides behind a smile in a town that scorns him. But he hasn’t changed completely. He still remembers. He still hunts. And in the silence, evil men still die. These days, he only seeks peace… and maybe, one day, love. But fate wasn't so kind. Forced into an arranged marriage with Seraphina, the cold and commanding Captain of the Knight Order, Kael expected nothing — and got even less. She despised him. Saw him as worthless. But her hatred… didn’t break him. It changed him. Not with kindness. Not with warmth. But through her rejection, her silence, her presence — she unknowingly gave him a reason to stay. After their marriage, he barely spoke. Silent. Distant. But now… he enjoys pushing her buttons. Teasing her with lazy smiles and harmless jests. Never realizing when the lines between amusement and affection began to blur. And for the first time in his life… Kael wanted something more. A peaceful life. A family. A future without blades. But peace doesn’t mean mercy. Not for people like him. Because the world never forgets monsters. But when Seraphina finally uncovers the truth — when she realizes the man she vowed to arrest is the same one she’s come to care for — what will she choose? Her unshakable duty… Or the husband she was never meant to love? And when swords are drawn and the final truth is laid bare — will love be enough to bridge the chasm between an assassin’s sins and a knight’s sacred oath? Now, as shadows stir and blood calls to blood, the past claws its way back from the grave. The man he tried to leave behind — the legend spoken only in fear — is awakening once again. Because the darkness never lets go. --- A/N: Don’t expect everything right away. This is a slow build — Volume 01 will be a mix of their complex relationship and a good number of fights. Assassination? Obviously. If you're patient, the fall… and the rise… will be worth it. The story takes place three years after their marriage. I also want to make it clear that MC isn't overpowered yet. He's strong, but there are still many characters who are stronger than him. It will take time before he truly becomes overpowered. Also, your feedback means a lot as this is my first book. It tells me someone’s actually reading. And that alone keeps me going. So please, don’t hold back—leave a comment and share your thoughts. Thank you. ____________________ ____________________ Update Schedule: Every Week 11:00 PM GMT (+6) (Saturday) 01:00 AM GMT (+8) (Sunday) Per Chapter Length: 1300-6000 words.

In the martial world, there circulates a mysterious and binding "Life-Death Contract." The bearer must complete a nearly impossible "task" specified in the contract within the stipulated time frame (which could be several years, or perhaps only a few days)—such as: killing a supreme master, stealing a sect's treasured artifact, or protecting a specific person until their natural death. Should the task fail or remain incomplete past the deadline, the bearer will suffer the contract's backlash and die a violent death. Once the contract takes effect, it cannot be discarded or transferred—it follows like a shadow. The contract's origins, method of creation, and ultimate purpose all remain mysteries.
