Chu Feng durchquerte den Kontinent Jiuzhou und erbte die Blutperle des Ahngottes, kultivierte sich bis er ein Gipfel-Kampfkaiser wurde. Durch Zufall rettete er eine außergewöhnlich schöne Frau, in die er sich verliebte und die er heiratete. Unerwartet stellte sich heraus, dass die Frau die Kaiserin des Jiuzhou-Reiches war, und nachdem sie Zwillinge, einen Drachen und einen Phönix, zur Welt gebracht hatte, verschwand sie ohne ein Wort des Abschieds. Durch zahlreiche rigorose Reinigungs- und Knochenmarkwaschungen, die von Chu Feng durchgeführt wurden, entwickelten diese jungen Kinder erstaunlicherweise höchste göttliche Runen in sich, die in der Lage waren, alle Formen von Energie in ganz Jiuzhou zu unterdrücken. Drei Jahre später, während der dumpfen und liebenswerten, aber unwissenden unbesiegbaren Geschwister, nutzten sie Chu Fengs abgeschiedene Meditation während des Überschreitens der göttlichen Prüfung aus, schlichen heimlich aus dem Dorf und begaben sich auf eine Reise, um ihre Mutter zu finden.

And I'll help you with that..."

With her newfound status, Avery systematically destroys her adversaries, uncovering dark secrets and hidden agendas along the way. But as she navigates the treacherous landscape of her new life, she must confront the truth about her family's past and at the end of it all, come back to him. She owed him after all... ~ EXCERPT Archie's eyes darkened when he saw her stumbling out of the wine cellar, a bottle of wine in one hand and her night robe, in the other. She was literally half naked. "Hey..." her greeting came out in a slur, and that was all he needed to know she was drunk. Very drunk, at that. "Why?" he asked simply, knowing she would interpret his question as she usually did. "I...I visited them today. The flowers on their stones were already wilted and...and...it broke me. I wanted to be happy and at the same time, I wanted to cry," Avery replied, inhaling short wisps of air before she continued, "Then I found the cellar." "Did it work?" She shook her head slowly in reply, lifting her head up in time to see a mischievous smirk curl on his lips. "Don't be sad, Baby girl. I happen to know a way to make you cry and keep you excited at the same time," he said. "Really?" "Wanna try it, Mama?" Avery nodded, slowly but firmly as he closed the distance between them. As he promised, she did cry...in pleasure. Note: This book is participating in the Cupid's Quill Contest. Your support is highly appreciated!

I was sent to kill the Demon King. Why? Because my shitty stepmother convinced my weak-ass father that if I didn’t, my precious stepsister might one day be killed by demons. Never mind the fact that I’m the Princess of the Elf Kingdom and an elite assassin who has spent years slaughtering demons for fun. But when I finally sneak into the Demon King's castle, ready to end his existence, I don’t find a weak target. I find Xareth. My childhood friend. My former ally. The man who is now the most powerful demon in existence. And instead of a fight to the death, he does something way worse. He drops me on the floor, smirks like the arrogant bastard he is, and shows me a marriage contract. Signed by my parents. Selling me off. To HIM. To protect my stepsister. Now, I’m stuck in his castle, surrounded by demons, forced into a marriage I never agreed to. I should be planning my escape. I should be stabbing him in his smug fucking face. Instead, I’m throwing wine bottles at nobles, beating the shit out of my stepsister, and getting bitten on the neck like a damn snack. And Xareth? That bastard just keeps smirking, watching me lose my mind, like he planned this all along. But if he thinks I’ll ever be his obedient little queen, he’s got another thing coming. Because I may be his wife. But I am NOT his.

Tang Jinghao is a hard-working doctor with a very powerful background. Her family is the wealthiest in the capital. One day, another powerful family, the Tian family, moves to their country and tries to surpass the Tang family. In order to avoid the war between the two families, the Tang family proposes a marriage to keep them both on the same level and to be the most powerful people in the country. Tang Jinghao is forced to marry the Tian Liwei, the successor of the company, Tian Rising. He is the eldest young master of the Tian family. During her stay at her in-laws’ residence, she notices something peculiar about them. They didn’t eat much. Their appearances were flawless all the time. They never slouched, blinked, and it didn’t even look like they were breathing because of how formal and polite they were. They would never show their bad side of themselves. They also took special interest in antiques from the Tang Dynasty. Until one night, Tian Liwei left his empty wine glass on the counter. Tang Jinghao assumed that he was tired and forgot to put it in the sink. The red wine was all around the inside of the cup. The liquid looked thick and Tang Jinghao thought, “This couldn’t possibly be regular red wine. What is it?” She smelled it and it smelled familiar. It smelled like the blood from patients at the hospital. “What are you doing?” Tian Liwei took the glass from her. “What is that?” “My special wine.” “It smells like blood.” “And.... what if it is?” He walked towards her as she took a few steps back. Then, Tian Liwei put his hands on the counter behind her to trap her. “Dr. Tang, I’m out of my favorite drink. How will I get more?” Author’s message: PS, most of the historical events mentioned didn’t really happen. The names of the antiques were made up. The events were just used to entertain readers.

Synopsis: It is not a city for the weak, Noctavia. Behind the upscale establishments, exclusive clubs, and respectable companies, this city is a crime hotspot. A place where deals conducted behind closed doors bring in both blood and money. Lilith Castellano occupies the highest position in this hierarchy as a predator rather than a victim. At the age of 18, Lilith has become a legend. Her face is as beautiful as that of a goddess, and her eyes are blue like a deep ocean that holds dark secrets. For anyone who disagrees with her, she is a nightmare despite her charm. Lilith is the leader of Casa Castellano, the deadliest mafia organization in Noctavia, and is responsible for both illegal businesses and the black market. But also the clandestine politics that maintain the power structure in this metropolis. Casa Castellano's main conference room was filled with the smell of cigars and an invisible tension. A huge man scowled at Lilith, his cheek scarred. "A little girl like you doesn't deserve to lead." He smirked and tapped the table with the tip of a little knife as he continued, "The mafia is a man's business." Lilith tapped her sharp fingernail against the red wine-filled crystal goblet and smiled softly. "Very funny," she responded flatly. "I also think a man like you doesn't deserve to live." The gunfire reverberated across the room before the man could react. Everyone ceased talking. Blood dripped from the man's forehead as he collapsed on the table. Calmly, Lilith set her silver revolver on the table. Then she took a sip of her wine as though nothing had occurred. "Is there anyone else who wants to dictate how I should lead?" He looked around the room before asking. Nobody was brave enough to speak. But there's always a cost to having power. Lilith is surrounded by treachery, fierce rivalry, and long-standing foes who want to see her fail. The Order of Tenebris, the group that previously decimated her family, has reappeared from the shadows with a plan she never saw coming. They're not just interested in taking his throne but also in unearthing the past he has long suppressed. Lilith has to make a decision between political intrigue, gang battles, and secrets that could alter everything. Fall as a pawn in a larger game or live as a queen. There is only one rule in a world where weakness is death and trust is a deadly weapon. Kill or be killed. And Lilith Castellano never chose to be a victim....
