Icy

Amid the softly falling snow in the Cold Palace courtyard, Princess Xianlan drew her final breath—silently. She had been falsely accused of poisoning the Crown Prince, brutally flogged until her body was torn, and imprisoned without a shred of mercy— all part of a cruel scheme orchestrated by Noble Consort Su Zhen, her stepmother, whose gentle appearance masked a heart of poison. Meanwhile, the Emperor of Li—the very man who claimed to love her above all—never realized that the only daughter he cherished had been crushed to death by the hands of the one he trusted most. But the heavens showed mercy. Xianlan opened her eyes once more, reborn into her eight-year-old self— in the time before everything shattered. This time… she would not be a worthless pawn in a game of power. She would become the master strategist, toppling each of her enemies one by one. With icy composure and razor-sharp wit, Xianlan hid in the shadows, slowly gathering evidence, allies, and influence within the palace. And fate brought her an unexpected ally— Feng Yuhan, Crown Prince of the Southern Yan Kingdom, known as the “Winter Tiger.” Cold, brilliant, and seemingly heartless—yet from their first meeting, something in her eyes held his gaze. Together, they moved in the darkness. Xianlan laid the plans. Feng Yuhan executed them. As the Kingdom of Li fell into the depths of political games— As vipers hissed behind silken smiles in the inner palace— As even a father’s love could be twisted by deceit— ⸻ When the phoenix returns to her nest—she will never again let anyone trample her. The will of the heavens may be written in ink… But Xianlan will rewrite fate in the blood of her enemies.

Living as the fifth daughter of a noble family, Amira found herself adrift in the fog of her home, neglected and overlooked by those she once called her own. Her days were spent in the solitude of the attic, a hidden oasis away from the bustling world outside. However, when the tumult of war erupts and she is thrust into the role of a truce offering between two formidable nations, she grapples with the uncertainty of surviving in a new kingdom known for its icy demeanor and ruthless nature. Will she navigate this foreign terrain and carve out a new existence she never fathomed? (Excerpt) "Clean it," Zyran commanded. "Yes, your Highness," the servant acknowledged with a respectful bow, ready to fetch the cleaning supplies. "Not you," Zyran interjected, causing the servant to freeze in confusion. "Her," he added, nodding in the direction of Anastasia, whose eyes widened in disbelief. Anastasia blinked rapidly, trying to process the situation. "Pardon?" she asked. "Clean the mess on the floor," Zyran instructed. The crowd started murmuring and Anastasia shifted uncomfortably on her knees. "That's the servant's job, not mine. Why should I? I don't think I understand what you are trying to say Prince Zyran. My father will never approve of this," Anastasia began only to be abruptly cut off by Zyran. "Don't make me repeat myself. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if I interfered with your task," Zyran warned. Anastasia's lips trembled as she fought to hold back her words. She knew Zyran's reputation for being ruthless, and she didn't want to make her situation any worse than it already was. "Get me the cleaning supplies," she instructed the servant, who was prepared to follow her command until Zyran interjected. "No one will help you," he declared. Anastasia's chest heaved with anger as she locked eyes with Amira, who was standing behind Zyran. She rose to her knees, intending to fetch the cleaning supplies herself, but Zyran stopped her once again. "Where do you think you're going?" he demanded. "To bring the bucket," she replied with a hint of annoyance, but she quickly reminded herself to remain composed. "I never asked you to stand up," Zyran stated. "Then how am I supposed to clean the floor?" she inquired. "Use your dress," Zyran replied. The onlookers in the crowd were visibly shocked, exchanging bewildered glances and murmurs as they witnessed the unfolding scene. Anastasia's cheeks turned crimson with embarrassment.

Ivanna Blake only wanted one wild weekend to forget her ex and celebrate her freedom — but waking up next to a breathtakingly gorgeous stranger in a luxury island resort wasn’t part of the plan. Even worse? There’s a shiny wedding band on her finger… and a legal marriage certificate to prove it. Her mysterious new husband? Adrian Stone — the ruthless, billionaire CEO known for icy boardroom deals and a heart locked behind stone walls. When the media catches wind of their union, Adrian proposes a deal: stay married for six months to save his company’s image, and walk away with enough money to start a new life. But as business turns into pleasure, and sparks begin to fly, Ivanna finds herself caught between a contract and her heart. Adrian may have built empires with cold logic—but can he survive a love that threatens to break through his defenses? What started as an accident… may just be the beginning of forever.

Once cast aside, now desired by all. Spring Kaine was the forgotten girl. Betrayed by her family, bullied, framed, and expelled from three elite schools by a fake heiress, Rose, she was exiled to Noxshade Academy, where the supernatural elites, werewolves, vampires, elves, witches, fae and demons ruled, and powerless outcasts like her were mocked. But when the academy’s golden tyrant, Lucien, humiliates her, something inside her snaps. Spring is no longer just a girl—she's the reincarnation of a betrayed, cunning werewolf princess with a thirst for dominance and this time, she won’t be silent. With a smirk, she topples Lucien’s pride and stuns the academy by boldly kissing Alpha Storm, the coldest of the four werewolf heirs. What begins as petty revenge turns into something far greater. When her wolf awakens beneath the Blood Moon, the matebond links her to five powerful Alphas as their mate—cold Storm, wild Jace, gentle Tyrion, and ruthless Kael. But fate plays its cruellest card when the final mate bond forms with Lucien, the very bully who tried to break her. Her presence shifts the tides—icy Alphas thaw, rivals yield, and even professors fall into her orbit in a deadly game of desire, destiny, and vengeance. Now, even her estranged brothers return—repentant for choosing Rose over her, devoted, and become overprotective titans ready to destroy anyone who dares hurt her again. As secrets of stolen bloodline, false heirs, a vengeful princess, a dangerous concubine, an old nemesis and a forgotten throne all threaten to pull her down, Spring rises. The girl they discarded has become everyone’s darling—adored, pampered, feared, and cherished. Five Possessive Alphas. One soul. And a girl the world refused to let go.

Love is inherently a complex emotion, so much so that even the gods grow weary of its endless cycle. To put an end to this chaos, Cupid decided to create a solution: connecting lovers with a red thread of fate. Those bound by this thread would clearly see the connection between them, as a confirmation that they were meant to be together. Every trait, personality, and destiny would align perfectly, as if the universe had already planned it. However, in a strange twist, the thread decided to bind Cassius to his cold and powerful mother, a duchess renowned for her icy heart. This connection not only confused Cassius but also placed him in a dilemma, forcing him to face complex emotions and family secrets he had never suspected. Then, on a fateful day, Cassius saw the red thread appear once again. This time, it did not connect him to his mother but to a girl that he’d never met. Why had the thread appeared between them? And could this connection be a test of fate, or merely a cruel joke by the gods? ------- [No NTR][No Yuri]

Ten thousand years ago, a defiant emperor who challenged Heaven and severed fate fell in a cataclysmic war. Before his soul was extinguished, it was sealed into the cycle of reincarnation. Ten millennia later, Ling Xuanye, the young master of the Qingling Sect in the Spirit Surge Domain, quietly awakens. Talented beyond measure but famously unruly, he spends his days teasing elders and escaping training. The world sees him as a troublemaker—but none know that an ancient divine soul slumbers within him. During a cross-sect exchange, he encounters Yuè Chányīn, a proud and icy prodigy of the Moonblade Palace. Their destinies intertwine as long-buried karmic threads begin to stir once more. To protect the mortal realm, a five-member squad is dispatched to hunt soul-devouring demons. But beneath the chaos, conspiracies emerge, and echoes of the old divine war rise again. This path of cultivation is more than a battle against fate—it is a journey of love and betrayal, growth and sacrifice, ascension and defiance.

“I want to see my money's worth. You belong to me now. So, strip!” he ordered coldly, taking a sip from his cognac. I fought back my tears, my trembling hands fiddling with the zipper of my shorts. His icy green eyes were latched onto my body the whole time, surveying the littlest movements I made like a predator. I was bare in front of him in no time, almost tempted to shield my body away from him with my hands. But I couldn't. Not when he had absolute control over me now. “Get on your knees and crawl to me.” •••• Nylah Frost has been stuck in the underworld as a stripper long enough to have made a name for herself, but when push came to shove and her best friend's life was on the line, she broke the rules that guarded the club she worked at, sleeping with and stealing from the devil, Alpha Xavier Wilde, the most feared and ruthless Alpha, who is renowned for crushing his enemies effortlessly. When the little stripper stole from him, Xavier Wilde was extremely intrigued by her boldness, and it triggered his dark, predatory side that sought to chase after her and possess her. A sense of ownership that was supposed to be a game of endless pleasure to him soon became his undoing. How does heartless Alpha see her more than his property and an object of pleasure? Will Nylah allow herself to see past the hatred she has for him?

"I DO" → "I DIE." Hours after marrying her longtime crush—icy CEO Nathan Jang—heiress Vanessa Belmont is stabbed, kidnapped, and left to bleed out in a wrecked car. The final insult? Watching Nathan rescue his precious childhood sweetheart (*cough* Vanessa’s killer *cough*) instead of his actual wife. So yeah. Worst. Wedding. Night. EVER.

Not to mention his hungry gaze—like she’s an all-you-can-eat buffet and he's starving. VANESSA'S SECOND CHANCE PLAN 1. Don’t die. (Again.) 2. Don’t fall for Nathan. (Too late.) 3. Eat more carbs.

Whichever comes first. ***|***|***|***|*** ASH CITY BILLIONAIRES Love is the ultimate power play. ***|***|***|***|***

“Chantelle Bently, you’re a murderer! Why are you still alive? You should have been the one to die!” Daniel shoved her away furiously, his face as dark and empty as the black suit he wore. Chantelle was caught off guard and lost her balance, falling hard onto her pregnant belly. The pain was unbearable, and she cried out as her body trembled. Chantelle shook her head desperately. “I told you, it wasn’t me! It was Kate!” In a trembling voice, she pleaded, “Daniel, how many times do I have to say this before you believe me? I didn’t betray your family or the Wilson Group Of Companies, and I didn’t cause your grandfather’s death.” Anger and resentment appeared in Daniel’s eyes as he threw the divorce settlement in Chantelle’s face. “Sign this now! From this day forward, I’ll make you pay a thousand times for everything you’ve done!” The sight of the document struck Chantelle like a dagger to her heart. Her whole body froze as if she had been cast into the icy wastelands of Hell. **** Her twin sister framed her, and her perfect family was destroyed on Christmas Eve. Things got worse when her husband handed her a divorce agreement. A month later, rumors spread that she had died in prison from depression. Six years later, she returned with a new face to take her revenge. She was beautiful but dangerous. Daniel felt both devastated and irritated when he saw the mysterious woman. She had the same name as his dead ex-wife, whom he hated most and the one he believed was responsible for his grandfather’s death. Despite his anger, he couldn’t deny the strong attraction he felt toward her. In fact, he was fatally obsessed and addicted to her, and the anger that had controlled him for six years slowly started to crumble.

SYNOPSIS: B Empire In a fractured world once divided by race, power, and pride, four legendary kings united the realms of East, West, North, and South to forge a singular, formidable alliance: the B Empire—a symbol of hope, equilibrium, and shared destiny. A century has transpired since that founding. The ethereal capital of La Mer stands above the Central Land, powered by magitek and safeguarded by ancient seals. Humans, beastkin, vampires, elementals, and hybrids coexist in a precarious equilibrium. However, peace is an ephemeral concept. Beneath the surface, dormant adversaries resurface, forgotten monsters emerge, and new heirs grapple with their place in a world still recovering from conflict. From the desolate outskirts of Asya to the mystical forests of the West, from the icy northern gates to the submerged temples of the South, a new generation ascends—each bearing secrets, legacies, or vengeance. Among them are: * Solla, an orphan from the East possessing a latent gift and a fervent spirit. * Doniglao and Ariane, centaurian siblings torn between tradition and rebellion. * Van Staden, a fugitive prince seeking liberation from royal constraints. *Nate, a tiger warriors aspiring to ensure his better future. *Suthra, a Riverlanders seeking to escape a tragic fate. * Eula, a rogue vampire-hunter ambivalent between blood and purpose. * And Mr. Wils, an enigmatic entity privy to excessive knowledge and susceptible to excessive mistrust. As the foundations of the old world begin to crumble, these unlikely heroes must make a pivotal decision: Will they uphold the legacy of the Four Kings… or dismantle it and construct a new Empire in its stead?

When seventeen-year-old William throws himself in front of a speeding car to save his younger brother, he expects pain—maybe even death. What he doesn't expect is to awaken in another body, another world, and another life entirely. Gone are the suburbs of Mayfair and the loving chaos of his family. In their place stands Aethelgard—a brutal, majestic kingdom ruled by a cold king and steeped in ancient power. But William is no longer himself. He now inhabits the body of Raenion, the youngest prince of Aethelgard, cursed by birth and reviled by his own blood. As Raenion, Alexander quickly discovers that royalty offers no refuge. His new brothers—Theron, Gareth, and another cruelly named Alexander—see him as a stain on their legacy, a weakling to torment, a reminder of a mother lost. His father, King Charles, rules with iron pride and icy detachment, and Raenion’s every breath seems to offend him. But there is one light in the darkness: Seraphina, Raenion’s elder sister. Kind, brave, and quietly defiant, she alone offers Alexander a reason to stay grounded—even as the lines between his true self and Raenion begin to blur. When Seraphina is forced into a politically motivated marriage with a tyrant king, Alexander makes a decision that will change both their lives forever: they will flee. Their escape leads them into the treacherous wilds of the borderlands, where legend and danger intertwine. But just as freedom seems within reach, a tragic misunderstanding shatters their hopes. Mistaken for the cruel Crown Prince Theron himself, Alexander finds himself in the hands of Aethelgard’s greatest rival—the Elves of Veridian—who believe they’ve captured the heir to their enemy’s throne. Now hunted by both his own kingdom and feared by those who mistake him for a threat, William must untangle the legacy of Raenion, uncover the secrets of his rebirth, and forge a new identity in a world that would see him broken.

Revenge has a new name: Mrs. Winston. Nineteen years ago, Giulia Ricci's life was torn apart by the wealthy and powerful Longwangshi family.  She was falsely accused of infidelity, then thrown out by the man she loved, Yong Li, and forced to give up her baby but Giulia's story didn't end there.

Will the ghosts of their pasts bring them together once more? EXCERPTS  Yong Li's eyes locked onto Giulia's, his voice low and husky. "Giulia, I never stopped loving you. I'm willing to forgive you, to move past what happened." Giulia's expression remained icy, her gaze piercing. "Forgive me?" Her voice dripped with disdain.  Yong Li's eyes burned with intensity as he stepped closer to Giulia. "Yes." She flashed a venomous smile at him, her words dripping with malice. "News flash, Lei Feng was infinitely better than you. His touch set my soul on fire, while yours barely sparked a flicker." His face twisted in pain, but she continued, with cruelty in her voice. "I have no regrets, Yong Li. Not a single one. And as for being with you again? I'd rather rot in hell."

Lorenzo Atlas is a man who built an empire with iron fists and ice in his veins. At the top of L&A Group of Companies, he’s a ruthless American tycoon feared in boardrooms and worshipped in bedrooms — until dawn comes and another nameless lover disappears from his sheets. For Lorenzo, love is weakness, trust is poison, and softness is a luxury his brutal past never allowed. Then comes Vanic Rov — twenty-one, bright-eyed, fresh out of college with dreams bigger than his fragile paycheck. As Lorenzo’s newly hired secretary, Vanic steps into a world of glass walls and sharp tongues, where one mistake can shatter everything. He’s innocent. Unpolished. Easy prey for a king like Lorenzo. But the more Lorenzo tries to break him — with cruel words, icy indifference, and humiliations that cut to the bone — the more Vanic refuses to shatter. Between the cold hallways and scorching stolen moments, sparks ignite where they shouldn’t: in hushed offices, in reckless confessions, in the secrets Lorenzo swore he’d bury forever. When jealousy, scandal, and the ghost of an ex-lover threaten to ruin what fragile trust they’ve built, Vanic must decide if loving a man like Lorenzo is worth his innocence — and Lorenzo must face the only truth he’s ever feared: that love might be the only empire worth surrendering for. From ruthless office games to moonlit honeymoons in Paris, from raw heartbreak to a family built in unexpected ways — Beneath the Atlas Empire is an erotic, emotional romance about cold kings, soft crowns, and the love that makes them human again.

Princess Rosemary is a wilted flower in her father’s court. Born into a society that puts power on a pedestal, her frail body and faltering angelic powers earn only scorn from the nobles and icy contempt from her father. Suffocated by whispers and rejection, Rose’s gentle spirit breaks, driving her to do the unimaginable. But as she does so, memories of her brother's kindness renew her will to live. Yet, it might already be too late as she's dragged under the raging river. As all hope seems lost, a pair of cold eyes peer back at her. Would their owner bring the salvation she so desperately craves, or a continuation of the emotional torment she has endured since she was a child?

As enemies close in and lies unravel, Ella and Xavier must decide whether their fragile alliance can survive... or transform into something real. In a world where love was never part of the plan, can two broken hearts fight for a future they didn’t choose—but might desperately need?

But just when her world is fueled by vengeance, an unexpected bond forms. Enter Song Tian, a bright and curious little girl who clings to He Mei with innocent affection.

In a world shaped by moonlight and fate, sixteen-year-old Eila receives her wolf—and with it, the rare power to heal others without touch and glimpse into the future through haunting dreams. But unlike her peers, she doesn’t find her fated mate same day as her wolf. Days pass. Weeks. Then, the unthinkable happens. She is claimed—by not one, but three of the most powerful males in the Moon Treasure Pack. Zois and Lukas Baldwin—silver-haired, cold-eyed twins who command attention without a word—have always been the center of admiration. Handsome beyond reason and untouchable by all. Until Eila. Then there’s Leonard Blackwell, Beta of the pack, dark-haired, icy-eyed, older, and far more dangerous. Rumored to be heartless, he is anything but when it comes to Eila. Tension crackles in every glance, every touch. From the moment Zois kisses the back of her hand in the moonlit woods, to when Lukas pins her during combat training just to test her limits. And Leonard—he doesn’t ask for permission when he corners her in the library, his voice low as he claims, “You are mine, Eila. Don’t ever doubt it.” As the pack mourns after a brutal rogue attack and Eila’s family teeters on the edge of ruin, she rises—leading her siblings, helping the wounded, and awakening power she never knew she possessed. Her nights are filled with strange dreams of ancient entities breathing in the darkness, and her days, with stolen moments between her and the three mates she never asked for. But love comes with a price. Secrets stir. War looms. And the Moon Goddess’s plan for Eila is just beginning. “Eila and Her Three Mates” is a gripping, sensual, dark fantasy romance where destiny tangles with desire, and a girl must find her strength in a world built for men. Perfect for fans of fated mates, twisted love triangles, and slow-burn magic that simmers until it ignites.
