World Body Painting Competition

She came to Florence to paint her way out of grief. He offered her a contract to keep emotions out. But what begins as a deal built on control soon becomes a war of silence, obsession—and surrender. Aanya Roy, an Indian artist haunted by loss, arrives in Florence with a sketchbook and a name whispered in art circles. She doesn't paint to be seen. She paints because it’s the only way she feels alive. Leonhart Moretti is a billionaire forged by tragedy. Cold. Brilliant. Untouchable. Women are part of a system: contracts, limits, rules. No emotion. No deviation. Until her. When Aanya uploads a blank canvas as a response to his challenge, it isn't defiance—it's art. It's her refusal to be tamed. Intrigued beyond reason, Leonhart offers her a 90-day contract: complete creative freedom in his studio. But beneath the surface lies another game—one of dominance, surrender, and unraveling control. In a city that worships beauty and secrets, how far can two broken souls go before the lines between art and desire, power and love, are blurred beyond recognition? R18 (Explicit Content) Contains mature themes including psychological tension, erotic content, dominance/submission, and emotional trauma. Reader discretion advised. Author's Note: This is not just a billionaire romance. This is about silence as power. Touch as art. And what happens when control becomes devotion. For readers who love slow-burn tension, flawed but brilliant leads, and emotionally layered storytelling—welcome to Florence.

His body too fragile to endure even the most basic cultivation techniques. Mocked by his peers, ignored by his elders, and one step from being cast out of his sect, he’s nothing more than a footnote in a world that worships strength. Until— Ding! System Awakening… [Limitless Tempering System: Activated] Welcome, Host. The heavens closed one door… but opened another that defies them all.

Lane Allen, an A-rank Guide, got injured on an emergency mission suppressing a dungeon break, and perished in his almost-lover’s arms. As the remaining members of his team continued to fight for their lives, in a fancy apartment in a distant part of the city, a young man opened his eyes. “Phew… That hurt like hell…” “It’s a bit of a shame to switch so soon… But I guess it is what it is.” “Anyway, who should I become next?” Actually, Lane Allen was not a Guide, but rather an Esper with a mysterious Plunder ability! It allowed him to possess other people’s bodies, and steal their awakened abilities. Keeping his real body safe, Lane could enjoy life to the fullest, constantly swapping identities, and doing whatever he wanted without ever worrying about the consequences! How great was that? Except… Damien Lennox grabbed Lane’s arm, and pressed him against the wall, his clear green eyes staring down at Lane intently, as if he could see right through him. “There’s no one else whose guidance feels so harsh and chaotic, yet pleasing at the same time.” It seems that Damien was somehow able to recognize Lane even after switching identities, and is unwilling to let him go? . . .

A rogue and a runt. A born and raised alpha. A boy with a secret. And a man bent on changing fate, no matter who gets harmed. ~ "Have you contacted the council about the rogues?" "Yes and they say that rogues don't band together in mass amounts." "Did you tell them about the lack of scents?" I roll my eyes at his question. "Of course I did." "And?" "And they think there's a witch out there causing havoc for the rogues," I scoff. "They said that only a witch could hide a wolf's scent but I can't seem to think of what witch would be out there doing silly experiments that won't benefit them. They'd be better off working with a pack if they had any interest there at all." "I get where they're coming from but this is mass reports across the country," he says pointing to the map. "I've been on the phone with packs all over the country having the same issues. We seem to have a higher concentration as of late," he furrows his brows. "Other packs have been having decreases of these rogues?" He nods. "This past week alone we've had six sightings and it's only Thursday." I feel tension rise behind my eyes as the realization hit me. "It's Celeste, isn't it. . ."

Ever since I can remember, I've always been emotionally distant. Maybe because I was abandoned by my parents and grew up in a foster home. I think that's why, when the world started to fall apart, I simply didn't care that much... But everything changed the moment I woke up and realized that I was seeing reality from two different perspectives. At that moment, I understood that the madness of the world would be the least of my problems.

Apologies to everyone Hello everyone, I am writing this to apologize to everyone for the deception and fraud. As you can see, my friend, this novel is not mine. I copied it from a website and published it here under my name. The funny thing is that I even tried to prepare proof of ownership for the contract and prepared it. But thank God I stopped doing that. As you can see, my friend, when I copied the first chapter, there was always a feeling telling me that what I was doing was wrong, and I knew that it was wrong for me as a person and for my religion. I was always wondering whether to complete it or not, but the devil was always tempting me to complete it. But thank God I stopped. I want to apologize to the real author of the story if he ever sees this and I apologize to everyone.  The novel is of Chinese origin. For those who want to complete it, I will leave you its name below.  The name of the novel in English is: Fantasy: My Holy Body, Will Marry the Innate Taoist Fetus at the Beginning Available on the website WTR_LAB  What is on that site is a complete novel with 491 chapters. As for what is on the Chinese site, it has 507 chapters and is still running. It seems that the site has modified it or I don't know, to be honest.  In general, I will leave the name of the novel in Chinese for those who love the novel and want to complete it.  Name in Chinese: 玄幻:我圣体,开局迎娶先天道胎 I know that I said a lot of useless things, but I did it to say everything I had to say and to clear my conscience. I want to apologize to everyone once again. Frankly, I don't know how to remove a novel from WebNovel, but I will try. I am also trying to write my own novel. I don't care if it doesn't succeed, but I will try anyway. I won't take much of your time. Thanks to everyone.

Chapter 1: The Awakening on the Imperial Throne A bone-deep chill permeated every fiber of my being. This wasn't the cold of an office air conditioner; it was the chilling touch of solid metal and ancient stone. I... Vireak... slowly opened my eyes. The first thing I saw was not the familiar ceiling of my bedroom or the cluttered desk piled high with documents. It was the vaulted ceiling of a vast, imposing hall, supported by colossal black stone pillars carved into the forms of terrifying, monstrous creatures. A faint, azure light emanated from crystal chandeliers hanging above, casting eerie and foreboding shadows. "Where... is this place?" I tried to speak, but the voice that emerged was not my own. It was a deep, resonant baritone, filled with an authority that made the very air in the hall vibrate. I felt myself in a seated position. I slowly lowered my head, and what I saw almost made my heart stop.

One-line summary: The female lead has a beautiful appearance and seemingly warm personality, but is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her. This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read: 1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly. It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them. (This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!) 2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2. The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him. 3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality. Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced). Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time. Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts. 4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend). 5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!

Kui lang's fingertip gently grazed his painting. Beautiful pair of blue gem like eyes seemed so lifelike. The glistening green tail shone brightly in the sunlight. "Beautiful...."

"W-What.. what is this..." The merman tugged at his hand, and the next second, he was in a different world. The world he had drawn with his own hand.
