Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

After Accidentally Impregnating a Woman, Mr. Liu Does Everything She Wants

He was the young master of the rich and powerful Liu family. He was irritable, unpredictable, and not to be messed with. She was only the daughter of a butler. She had a lowly status and a cautious approach to things and people. They accidentally slept with each other one day, and she became pregnant. She then became the Liu family's daughter-in-law, and was protected in every way possible. To her husband, she also became a woman who would do anything for money and status. Liu Jingxing was cold to her and looked at her as if he was looking at garbage. There were always hints of sarcasm in his voice. Ming Yue finally couldn't take it anymore and offered him two hundred yuan. "Mr. Liu, I really don't care about your money. Oh, right. I forgot to tell you. You performed poorly the other night. Two hundred is all you're worth. We'll get a divorce once the baby is born," she said. Liu Jingxing glared at her with his jaw clenched. "If I performed poorly, why did you keep begging me to slow down and speed up? We'll get a divorce right away after the baby is born!" After that, Liu Jingxing never missed a single maternity check-up. The first time he felt the baby move in her stomach was when the baby kicked him in the face. Dumbfounded, his cheeks turned red. He began leaving his workplace earlier and earlier. Whenever his friends asked him out for a drink, he would turn them down, saying, "My wife is pregnant. I need to spend time with her and the baby." When women approached him with barely any clothes on, he would impatiently respond, "What? Do you want to be my son's stepmother?" After delivering the baby, Ming Yue endured the pain and decided to leave. Liu Jingxing, who had always been an irritable man and rarely showed his emotions, now had bloodshot eyes. He seemed even more haggard than Ming Yue, who had just delivered a baby, while he took her hand and pleaded in a soft voice, "Ming Yue, please stay by my side."

Lovers under the stars

Rowan’s life had always been one of quiet suffering. Born into the royal bloodline, she was expected to bring honor to her family, but destiny had other plans. Her mother passed away when she was just a child, leaving her to navigate a harsh world without maternal guidance. When it was discovered that Rowan had the Herless condition—a rare affliction that rendered her incapable of cultivating spirit energy—her father’s indifference turned into cold neglect. In a world where strength and cultivation were paramount, Rowan was branded as a disgrace. Despite her royal lineage, Rowan’s condition made her a target of scorn, particularly from her siblings, who never let her forget how pathetic they thought she was. Yet, Rowan’s spirit remained unbroken. She longed for a life beyond the palace walls, a life filled with exploration and the thrill of the martial and immortal worlds. Her uncle, the only figure of warmth in her life, was her reliable confidant, though his way of showing love was through indulgence rather than guidance. Everything shifted on the night of the MoonBound ceremony. Desperate to escape her chains, Rowan sought a contract with Solen, a powerful elf who she believed could free her from her life of insignificance. But fate played a cruel trick. Instead of binding her to Solen, the ceremony tied her to Roderan, the most powerful immortal of his generation. Known for his cold and distant nature, Roderan held nothing but disdain for mortals, especially one like Rowan who couldn’t even cultivate. To him, she was less than nothing. But fate wasn’t done with its twists. Not only were Rowan and Roderan bound by the Thread of Fate, a rare phenomenon that linked their destinies, but also by the Seal of Love—a curse that was as feared as it was mysterious. The appearance of both at the same time was unheard of—one a blessing, the other a curse. The Thread of Fate suggested their lives were meant to intertwine, while the Seal of Love marked them with a bond that could either destroy them or bring about something no one could foresee. Rowan, once dismissed as a powerless mortal, now found herself bound to the most formidable immortal, with her future more uncertain than ever. The path ahead was filled with danger, heartache, and the potential for a love that could challenge the very fabric of their world.

Once Banished

This novel spoke of four rogues of Alpha, all of them so powerful in their homeland, that each had a special ability that made them unique; all of them were betrayed by someone they loved, trusted, and depended upon. Xavier Knoll, the Alpha of the Middle Land, a man bred for war, was betrayed by his trusted beta, Jaiz, and he watched as his mate was killed. With his last breath, he cursed the middle land, saying, "None of them will know peace until he is incarcerated or returned as a wraith." The curse of Xavier Knoll started surfacing when the Pegasus, a giant creature, started terrorizing the Middle Land. Blood was shed, and people lost hope as the curse kept spreading. The second Alpha, Sebastian Stan, becomes the next Alpha after he kills Xavier Knoll, the former Alpha and king of the middle land. Sebastian was an Alpha with great strength and fame. He was feared across the middle land, and no one dared cross his path. He's a brutal man. At first, Sebastian Stan thought the curse of Xavier Knoll was gibberish coming out of a dying man—not until the curse started affecting his family, cousins, and daughters. When he finally decided to avert the curse, it might be too late because Dylan was already terrorizing the middle land. The Third Alpha, Dylan Knoll, a distant relative of Xavier Knoll, heard about the death of his cousin, and he sought nothing but revenge. Dylan Knoll is a man who loves squeezing from the universe whatever it can give. He loves taking rather than giving. He was a man who preferred fighting with blades over claws. Dylan Knoll conquered every territory he came across except for the middle land. And in every territory he conquers, he will ruin and kill every living and non-living thing so that no one will live to resurface the old way. There will be only one person they will be worshiping, and there will be only one way to worship him: his way. Dylan Knoll leaves the Middle Land untouched because it was ruled by his cousin. But when he heard about his death, he sought help from Caliste, an ancient witch, and King Cassius of Mordor to conquer the middle land and defeat Sebastian Stan. The last Alpha was Rey Reed Smith, a hellhound and someone who was possessed by an ancient spirit beast. Alpha Rey Reed Smith, a hellhound, died on earth, killed by a hunter, but opened his eyes in the middle land. It was some days before he discovered that he was possessed by an ancient spirit beast, which teleported his soul to the Middle Land. The ancient spirit beast, Lord Rey, is the god of all night-walking creatures in the Middle Land. When he discovered the curse of Xavier Knoll, the brute rule of Sebastian Stan, and the deadly plan of Dylan Knoll for the middle land, he possessed the hellhound, Rey Reed Smith, and decided to use his body to cleanse the middle land. With the help of two brothers, Garry the night racer, and Gaius the archer, Rey Reed Smith found himself going deeper into the affairs of the middle land. Nonetheless, there is more to saving the middle land than Rey Reed thought.

Treacherous hearts: Return of the Second Male Lead

Chapter excerpt: Charlton knew what was running in her head and in truth he wanted to mock her. ’You truly are a whore, aren’t you?’ he wanted to say. However, he was not planning to make this a one-time thing and he had more in store for her. So instead, he leaned forward as he started kissing her tears away. "Serena, I love you so much, do you know that? So please, don’t give me that look." Serena’s tears did not stop but what was the use. They were already like this and no matter how much she denies it, that she even let something like this happen… there’s only one conclusion. She still loved Charlton. Or at least she was that greedy for his love. She could not push him away so she could only raise her arms and envelope him in her embrace. "We’re going to burn in hell for this…." She whispered. Charlton burrowed his head on the juncture of her neck. He licked and kissed that part, careful not to leave a mark as they still will be meeting with the others later. He smirked when he felt her tremble. Why was she so easy? Regardless, he was enjoying what she can offer before he ruins her himself. "All the more reason to get as much heaven as we can now." He said, then he started moving. -- A year after his father’s death, grand duke Charlton Daniel finally responds to the summon of his uncle, the king, to return to the capital. Of course, his reason for compliance was not due to his subservience to the crown. Four years ago, his life has been turned upside down. His lover betrayed him for his cousin, the crown prince. His father was sent to prison because of a crime with dubious evidence. While he, himself, was sent to exile with a mission to capture the revolutionists. All of which, he took in strides because of his steadfast belief in humanity and justice. However, time changes everyone. Four years may seem short, but to some, it’s enough to change their perceptions and priorities. Once a pacifist at heart, Charlton is now going to return to the royal capital with a personal vendetta. -- To the public eye, Serena William, nee Maxwell, was living the perfect life. She was beautiful, rich, happily married, and has the unwavering support of her maternal family. Oh, and did I mention that she was also the crown princess and the most loved personage? Yes, that she was. Kind, generous, and approachable. She was a woman who was completely unlike any other. No one in the royal family was as well loved by the masses as she was. At least, that’s how her life was perceived to be. Behind closed doors, life was not as glamoured up as it was in the tabloids. Her first pregnancy ended up in stillbirth, while the next two ended up in miscarriages. Was this her retribution? She could not help but ask herself. This led to her guilt and self-blame which further developed her insecurity, and even inferiority complex. Aside from what she was undergoing herself, it doesn’t help that the queen mother kept on rubbing salt to injury by implying that she should let her lady-in-waiting, the queen’s first choice for crown princess, take over. Crown prince Geoffrey William was Serena’s saving grace, her knight in the shining armor, the man who sticked with her through thick and thin. Would she ever be willing to make way for another woman for his own good? Then worse, comes her old flame who seems to still be enamored with her. What lengths would she be willing to take to keep the pandora’s box shut? However, there are no secrets that time does not reveal. What will she do when she later finds out what her greatest champion did to her? -- Hearts will break, heads will roll. All is fair in love and war. This novel is not for the faint hearted. — This novel is the sequel to the first titled, ‘Making the second male lead fall in love with me, the Villainess’, and is set four (4) years after the royal wedding. (But you don’t need to read the first to understand this one, sequence is not important)
