In a world where technology has redefined humanity, the Evergrace twins aren’t just heirs to an empire—they are its most dangerous creation. Born into a dynasty that controls breakthroughs beyond government comprehension, Ren and Yui Evergrace are the perfect heirs: brilliant, beautiful, and engineered to be unstoppable. Enhanced with forbidden biotech, quantum-linked neural implants, and self-replicating nanites, they are more than human—they are the next evolution. But their bond is their most powerful weapon. Yui, the gentle sister who never raises her voice, can kill with a whisper. Her tears dissolve flesh. Her touch rewires minds. And her love for Ren is the only law she obeys. Ren, the charismatic heir who could have anything, wants only one thing: to protect the twisted devotion that defines them. He knows what Yui is—what their family made her—and he has never feared her. Only the world that would try to take her away. When corporate rivals, intelligence agencies, and even their own family begin to question the twins’ loyalty, the Evergrace estate becomes a battlefield of autonomous drones, memory-altering fields, and synthetic plagues. But the true threat isn’t the enemies outside their walls—it’s the fracture growing between them. As Yui’s control over her bioweapons wavers and Ren’s hunger for power grows, they must decide: Will they rule together? Or will the love that made them unstoppable become the flaw that destroys them? — A dark, high-tech gothic tale of twisted devotion, cutting-edge science, and the price of immortality. (Think "Succession" meets "Annihilation," with the psychological tension of "Gone Girl" and the biopunk aesthetic of "Deus Ex.")

Saving a magical gothic world is already too much for one boy to bear, but leading the church of a powerful goddess alongside a swarm of nuns who all want his attention? Lucian Bishop might just be out of his depth. But what choice does he have? After transmigrating into Altareign — a magical dark world filled with rune magic, the occult, demons, and heretics — Lucian's task is deceptively simple: Destroy the shadow that threatens the world, unite the Church, and end the use of dark magic! Heavy is the head that wears the halo… but with a convent of powerful (and gorgeous) nuns by his side, perhaps the path of divinity won’t be so difficult after all.

The **Lóngxīa Empire** rots. Emperor Feng drowns in decadence and fear, oblivious to the whispers of returning powers. At the empire's decaying heart resides **Prince Yan Ling** – a figure of ridicule and dread. Born the night the celestial **Jade Heaven Dynasty** fell, his stark white hair and frail, prematurely aged body mark him as the cursed **"Child of the Shattered Star,"** blamed for his mother's death and the empire's decline. Confined to a crumbling pavilion, he paints landscapes ignored by the court. But Yan Ling's art is a lie. He is the **Nightless Blade**, the fallen architect of the **Great Suppression**. Three centuries ago, to prevent cosmic annihilation, he shattered his godlike power, scorched his meridians, and bound the world's memory of Qi and immortals within **Nine Suppression Scrolls**, paying with his vitality and sanity. His paintings are not idle hobbies; they are seals, patching the cracks in reality, containing echoes of a forgotten, violent past. Each stroke costs him fragments of his dwindling life. 'The mortal emperor hidden sword' is a tale of gothic eastern fantasy, where the brushstrokes of a dying artist hold back the tides of chaos, the weight of forgotten history crushes the present, and the deepest bonds are those forged in silence and sealed in ink. It explores the cost of salvation, the burden of memory, and the fragile beauty cultivated in the shadow of thorns.

I used to think obsessive male leads were kind of hot. You know, the intense stares, the undying devotion, the way they’d burn the world for the woman they love? Swoon, right? Wrong. That fantasy went up in smoke the moment I woke up in the body of Sonia Mitford. The heroine of The Crimson Devotion. The first obsessive romance fantasy novel I ever read. The one that ended on a mysterious hiatus. The one with Marius Wittelsbach, a charming, possessive psychopath who thinks an ankle shackle is a love language. Now I’m trapped in a velvet-draped prison, shackled to a bedpost like some porcelain doll in a gothic fairytale. And Marius? He’s worse than I remembered. Sweet, soft-spoken, and utterly unhinged. "You don’t need to be afraid. I’ll take care of you." Translation: I’ll murder anyone who blinks in your direction and serve you tea over their corpse. "Anyone who bothers you... anyone who looks at you the wrong way... I’ll get rid of them for you." I thought I was playing the role just fine. Smiling. Nodding. Pretending not to be horrified. But then, plot twist. Alessio Slovene, the forgettable side character, walks in looking like a golden retriever knight and drops this bomb: he’s actually the crown prince in disguise. And he’s been investigating Marius. Finally, a lifeline. Maybe. Because people are vanishing. The body count is rising. And every time Marius kisses my forehead and calls me “Nia,” I feel one step closer to becoming the tragic heroine in a blood-soaked love story. Obsessive male leads aren’t dreamy. They’re terrifying. And I might be in way over my head.

In a world fractured by ancient crystal magic, three races once reigned: Humans, Elves, and Vampires.

“Let go of me! Why now?” I snapped at them as they closed their distance on me while I moved backward towards the stairs. “What happened to all of you hating me?” I sneered, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to fall from my eyes. “I can't be a mate to monsters! You all despised me, made my life worthless the whole time, and you suddenly want me to accept being your mate?” I stared unbelievably at them as their eyes glinted with fury as they approached further. “Well, we still hate you but think of this as a favor,” Ryder taunted, his lips curling into a dirty smirk and I glared at him. “Favor?” I gaped at him, taking cautious steps backward. “At least, your wish has been answered,” Derek snorted, cocking his head while Sage stared coldly at me. “That's why we have decided on making you our mistress. Highly to think we would accept a murderer as our mate.” Mael added, his words sent shivers running down my spine. “You all are sick! Insane!!” I chuckled bitterly, to think they'd always put Lena first before me. They wanted me as their mistress. “Thalia! Be care—” before I could process what Sage was about to say as he reached out to me. I lost my balance and tripped. *** Eleven years ago, I was framed for killing my precious younger sister whom everyone loved, and they thought I should have been the one to die instead of her. Being the daughter of the Beta, I was stripped of my title and demoted to an omega and became a servant in the pack's house. I was despised by everyone, especially the quadruplets, the Alpha's sons. Alpha Sage, Alpha Ryder, Alpha Mael, and Alpha Derek— the ruthless and most feared, respectable Alphas who never took a break from tormenting me and making my life worthless. Ten years later, my younger sister who was thought to be dead, reappeared at the pack's doorstep, looking alive and well, and even more beautiful and elegant. She was welcomed happily by all the pack members and was desired by the quadruplet. I thought everything would go back to how it was but I was neglected and remained the omega no one wanted until my life took a shocking turn when I clocked eighteen. Fate had me mated to the Alpha's sons, not just one but all four of them but what's even more shocking was when they agreed to make me their mistress. I'd rather eat dirt! Cause, I won't be bending so easily.
