His fingers tilted her chin, forcing her to meet his cold gaze. “You didn’t just break my heart,” he murmured darkly. “You shattered it. And now? Now, you’ll pay for it.” Her breath hitched. “Congratulations, Anastasia,” he whispered, leaning in until his lips brushed her ear. “You just became my wife.”

Ava Summers is the perfect daughter — business mogul, top of her class, future queen of spreadsheets, and the only Summers twin with functioning brain cells. She's survived nineteen years sharing a womb, a mansion, and half of her DNA with Eva Summers — the human embodiment of bad decisions who once tried to roast marshmallows on scented candles and nearly set the entire estate on fire. So when their parents arranged one of them to marry Zeke Ford — the kingdom's most notorious heartbreaker — Ava took one for the team. She didn't flinch. She didn't panic. She blinked once... probably because she was three glasses of margaritas deep after Eva spiked her drink and slid a suspicious contract under her nose — a contract that would transfer all of Ava's businesses and birthright to Eva if she refused to marry Zeke. It was the first plan Eva ever pulled off successfully — and she regretted it the moment the Fords switched the grooms at the last minute. Instead of waking up legally bound to Zeke — the charming, half-witted flirt who collects women like decorative throw pillows — Ava finds herself married to Zach Ford — the cold, brooding, emotionally constipated twin brother who hasn't smiled since the dinosaurs went extinct. The Ford family hoped Eva's lively personality would drag Zach out of his miserable cave of grief and bad attitude after his fiancée's death. Too bad they accidentally married him to the kingdom's most neurotic control freak instead. Now Ava has a whole lifetime to survive a forced marriage to a man who communicates in glances, grunts, and the occasional eyebrow twitch, convince everyone she's madly in love with her new husband... And figure out how to legally murder her sister without ruining the family name. The plan was supposed to save the Summers' reputation. Not burn the whole kingdom to the ground. "With This Ring, I Loathe You—Yes, I do." A laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers rom-com about one grumpy recluse, one reluctant perfectionist, and one contractual catastrophe that will either end in true love... Or arson with tax deductions.

"You shouldn’t be alive." Kael’s voice was quiet, but the weight behind it sent a chill down Sienna’s spine. His silver eyes locked onto hers, searching—no, demanding—answers she didn’t have. She crossed her arms, lifting her chin. “And yet… here I am.” Sienna Blackwood has spent her whole life on the fringes, a ghost in her own pack. Born under the cursed Blood Moon, unable to shift, unwanted and barely tolerated. She thought she knew her place—until the night she was attacked. Until the night she should have died. But she didn’t. And now, she’s standing before Alpha Kael Voss, a man who doesn’t believe in fate, yet is staring at her like she just shattered his entire world. The High Council calls her an abomination, a threat that needs to be eliminated. Kael should agree—he’s never been one to disobey the law. Except something about Sienna doesn’t make sense. And the more he tries to ignore it, the more the truth claws its way to the surface. A prophecy was buried. A past was erased. And the moment Sienna took her first breath, the countdown to war began. She wasn’t supposed to survive. She wasn’t supposed to exist. But the forsaken always find a way to rise.

In the year 711 AD, the mighty Visigothic Kingdom fell. At the Battle of Guadalete, King Roderic’s forces were shattered by the advancing Muslim army. Toledo, the sacred heart of Hispania, was lost in flames. With the capital overrun and his kingdom collapsing, the remnants of the Visigothic nobility had no choice but to flee.

Lin Jiufeng transmigrated and found himself in the body of a hundred-year-old elder of the Feathered Immortal Sect. His body was frail, like a dying candle flickering in the wind, on the verge of being extinguished at any moment. Fortunately, his comprehension was unparalleled—he could perceive the Dao with a single glance and derive supreme techniques with a single thought! He recalled his century-long life and comprehended the path to immortality. He watched the gathering winds and clouds and grasped the divine ability to summon storms. He observed the twinkling stars and the descent of meteors, creating the phenomenon of daylight meteors. He gazed upon the flowers blooming and wilting in the courtyard, the drifting clouds over the mountains, and from this, he comprehended the profound art of "One Thought, One Bloom, Sovereign of the World." Thus, Lin Jiufeng remained steadfast in his heart and, at the age of one hundred, embarked on the path of cultivation. While cultivating in seclusion, he also worked to strengthen the Feathered Immortal Sect, elevating it to become the undisputed supreme sanctuary of the Dao. The Way of Nature, the Sword Intent of the Great River, the Art of Soaring Immortals, the Feathered Ascension Technique, the Five Emperors’ Divine Abilities...

Sienna, a 40-year-old assistant manager at an IT company, feels trapped in a monotonous life, for the luxurious lifestyle she craves. Without wealthy parents or a mysterious inheritance from her grandfather, she has had to work tirelessly to fulfill her dreams of wine in the weekend, fishing on the yatch on summer, skiing by winter, and touring a vineyard in fall. Her relentless focus on her career has come at the expense of her relationships, with most of her past girlfriends either cheating on her or leaving due to her constant neglect. Sienna's go-to response when relationships end is, "What else do they need?" - she simply doesn't understand why her past partners couldn't be satisfied with her providing for their material needs. Seeking an escape, Sienna immerses herself in a video game called 'Vintage Point', where the protagonist, male/female, inherits their grandfather's vineyard and creamery. Through the use of cheating codes she got from the game community, Sienna amasses unlimited wealth and the ability to have multiple wives in the game - living out her dream life virtually. "Oh lord, rich, vineyard, and wives. My dream life." One night, after a few too many glasses of wine, Sienna passes out in front of her computer. When she wakes up, Sienna finds herself in a large, medieval-style house, surrounded by four distressed women who seem to blame her for their current life. Disoriented and unsure of what is happening, "What is happening?" This unexpected turn of events propels Sienna into a surreal situation, where the line between her virtual dream life and reality becomes blurred.

In a world where the gifted are bound to fate and have their spirits called forth in a cruel ceremony at the age of thirteen, she is unique. She calls, but no spirit responds. She is not claimed by any path. But rather than being called forth, a beast is born from her blood, her fear, and the echoes of something long forgotten. It is not like the strong creatures that fight alongside the others; it is weak and unfinished. Long-buried forces start to resurface as rumours of her existence spread. There was a reason her path was erased. There should be nothing at her side. And if she keeps walking this road, she may unearth secrets that could unravel the world itself. But the question remains - Did she create the beast, or did it create her?
