Perfume Lowell

The Emperor's obsession

(Matured Content-No rape) “She was promised to a prince. But taken by a monster who calls himself king.” In a realm ruled by blood and empire, twenty-four kingdoms bow to one throne — and at the center of it sits Emperor Zareth Ravaryn, a vampire older than most dynasties, cold as obsidian, and feared as much as he is obeyed. Princess Serenya of Vayrana was never meant to catch his eye. Gentle. Devoted. Already betrothed to the human prince she loved from afar. But one imperial ceremony changed everything. When the Emperor sees her — veiled in gold, eyes full of light — he names her his future Empress. She refuses. He doesn’t ask twice. Now torn from her homeland and chained in silk and duty, Serenya finds herself in a court of shadows, where power is worn like perfume and secrets drip from every whispered bow. But Zareth is not just the monster she feared. He is obsessed. And his obsession doesn’t break... it consumes. As the blood empire trembles under rebellion, forbidden longing ignites between captive and captor, and the girl who once dreamt of love must decide: Will she fight for her freedom— or burn for his throne? Dark fantasy meets imperial seduction in this slow-burn vampire romance — with original lore, dangerous rituals, forbidden love, and a heroine who was never meant to kneel. Welcome to the Empire of Thorns. Where love is a game only monsters win. #bookone of The Empire of Thorns series --- Excerpt. A man stood before her. Not just any man. The man. Eyes like twin flames. Lips curled into a knowing smirk. A voice like thunder dipped in velvet. "And who might you be, little dove?" Zareth purred. Serenya's heart slammed against her ribs. "I-I'm... I was just—" "Lost?" he finished for her, his tone mocking yet oddly amused. She nodded, clutching her veil tighter. His eyes trailed down the curve of her figure, and then back to her eyes. "You're not from around here," he said, though he already knew. "I'm from Vayrana," she managed, voice barely above a whisper. His grin widened. "That explains the veil. So well-behaved. So sweet." He stepped closer, and she instinctively backed up—until her back hit the wall. "Running off alone into a palace full of monsters... either you're braver than you look, or dumber," he drawled, eyes gleaming. Her eyes widened at the insult, but something in his tone kept her frozen. "I didn't mean to be disrespectful—" "Oh, but you weren't," he interrupted. "In fact, you've just made this entire evening… interesting." He reached out, adjusting the edge of her veil with a gentleness that contradicted his deadly aura. "What's your name, dove?" She hesitated. "Your name," he repeated, voice darker now. "I don't ask twice." "Serenya," she whispered. He leaned in, mouth brushing close to her ear. "Serenya," he repeated, tasting it. "Pretty name. Suits you." Then, as quickly as he came, he stepped back. The moment shattered. "Go on now, little dove. Before your father comes searching."

From Scalpel to Seduction

There was a woman named Lin Yujin, a brilliant surgeon from China. She had spent her entire life in the relentless pursuit of excellence. No friends. No family. No lover. Just herself, her scalpel, and the occasional comfort of a well-worn novel in her few spare hours. From childhood, her life had been a constant battlefield of exams, expectations, and competition. All for a future that was always just out of reach. The pressure never stopped. And one day, Her fingers tightened around the steering wheel as she drove, headlights cutting through the stillness. She wasn’t thinking about anything in particular, just drifting. The next shift. The same routine. The same loneliness. Then it happened. A flicker of movement. Headlights. A blur of metal. She barely had time to react. She died alone, and exhausted. But death wasn’t the end. She awoke to the sound of soft music and distant laughter. Perfumed air swirled around her, laced with flirtation and the hum of a guqin, her own fingers were plucking its strings with grace she didn’t remember learning. Panic surged in her chest. This wasn’t a hospital. It was a brothel. But not the seedy kind from old films—this place oozed luxury and refinement. Only the elite could afford to step through its doors: high-ranking clan heirs, powerful sect members, nobles, even royals. And merchants rich enough to rival them. Memories that weren’t hers flooded in like a tidal wave. Lin Yujin looked down at her new hands softer, paler. Her body felt strange. Curvier in some places, delicate in others. Even her voice sounded unfamiliar. It unsettled her. She had spent her life mastering the human body, but this one felt foreign, untamed. For the first time, she was the subject, not the surgeon. And she had no idea what came next.
