I traversed back to 1370, to Lübeck, a city in Germany. Lacking the expertise of a scientist, I could not bring the steam engine or industrialization to life. Instead, I took the scholar's route, establishing the Federal Reserve, just for the fun of it. The Hanseatic League, guilds, clubs, The Three-Body Problem, stock exchanges, futures contracts, stocks, paper currency, Napoleon's artillery tactics... these are the gifts the protagonist offers to the ancients. This novel revolves around the ultimate goal of establishing the Federal Reserve, with the creation of paper currency and credit as the central mission. Each plot is steeped in business warfare and profit-making, filled with numerous case studies of commercial conflict that demand careful thought from the reader. Be forewarned, this book is intellectually stimulating—dare to take the challenge. In The Three-Body Problem(A 2008 novel by the Chinese hard science fiction author Liu Cixin ), the Dark Forest theory suggests that resources are finite, yet the expansion of civilizations knows no bounds. The protagonist also assists his brother in rising from a mere baron to the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Estella was betrothed to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale, a man in his seventies and old enough to be her grandfather. The thought of belonging to him made her sick. But she had no choice. As the illegitimate daughter of the Baron of Cleverview, she had known only servitude under her stepmother, the Baroness, and her twin stepsisters, Geraldine and Georgina. Estella became the price of his silence when the Baron embezzled public funds to indulge his wife’s extravagant tastes. The Viscount, willing to cover up the debt, demanded her as payment.

A chance encounter at Lady Agatha’s ball left the Duke and Estella in a compromising situation. Seeing an opportunity, Estella blackmailed Felix into granting her the one thing she had always wanted: freedom from her family and the future they had imposed on her only if the Baron and Baroness would let her go without a fight. Would her gamble pay off, or had she only succeeded in trading one cage for another?

Mavka always knew that there was no future for an orphan without a dowry in Leesburg Village. With little choice but a forced marriage or ruin, she takes a job in the mysterious castle of Baron Caellun. What she doesn't realize is that her new master is not just a reclusive nobleman, but a dark predator, a five-century-old vampire who preys on the young women of the castle. When their paths cross, their fates intertwine in a dangerous game of seduction, mystery and forbidden desire. Caellun never believed in love. For him, human emotions were irrelevant in the face of his immortal nature. But something about Mavka irritates, fascinates and attracts him in a way he doesn't understand. Her scent, her stubbornness, her refusal to bend make him vulnerable in a way he despises.

However, danger lurks beyond the castle walls. A man obsessed with Mavka's past is willing to do anything to get her back, and the villagers fear and hate the Baron more than ever. When the darkness becomes unbearable, love and death dance a last tango under the bloody moon, and Mavka must decide whether she can trust her heart - and her life - to the vampire who already possesses her soul.

(my fuel is readers support, please support me in this journey for wsa 2025) Silas knew that being born as an omega meant his life wouldn't have many choices—unless you came from a privileged family, where your trait didn't matter and you could live comfortably. When a baron adopted him, Silas saw a glimmer of hope and vowed to repay the man he called father. However, though it was better than life in the orphanage, Silas knew he would never truly belong to the family. He was groomed to obey, and his adoptive father planned to use him to expand connections with noble families. As he grew older, his father repeatedly offered him in marriage to the son of a grand duke, an alpha, only to be rejected every single time. Eventually, just before the grand duke's son left for military service, his father received an answer: the grand duke's son agreed to the connection—but only on the condition that Silas would be a consort. It wasn't uncommon for alphas to have multiple consorts, though it wasn't what Silas desired. Still, as an omega, this was the only way he could repay the baron's kindness. * Silas remembered what Alric was like back when they were at the academy. Cold, quiet, and someone who despised omegas. He knew what kind of fate awaited him and gave up on the kind of love he often read about in books. After all, real life wasn't the same as the fantasies penned by writers. Instead, Silas decided to prepare himself for decorating the "cage" he would live in—a life filled with the constant refrain of "at least, at least, at least." He would get used to it. He had to. But something felt different. Why was Alric treating him so differently now compared to the way he had back in school? Alric's eyes were filled with a tenderness and sorrow that Silas couldn't understand. It was the kind of look that made Silas want to hold him close. — (Read the info for more additions)
