He was power. He was silence. He was a storm dressed in suits and shadows. Li Zeyan, the cold and feared CEO of Li Corporation, lived with a heart sealed in ice, untouched by love, unreachable by warmth. His past was blood-stained, buried in secrets no one dared to uncover. He never cared to be understood. Until she walked in, smiling. Xu Meilin, the unwanted daughter of a prestigious family, traded like property into a marriage neither she chose nor understood. Fragile on the outside, yet burning with quiet strength, she didn’t scream. She didn’t fight. She smiled... even when her world collapsed. Thrown into a cold marriage with a man who looked at her like she didn’t exist, Meilin never asked for his love. But her kindness began to haunt him. Her calm presence began to tear through his walls. And her smile? It reached places he thought were long dead. He gave her a black card as a leash. She used it as a key. To walk into his world. To touch his wounds. To love his darkness. But behind that calm smile, Meilin was breaking. Behind that cold gaze, Zeyan was burning. And when secrets from their pasts collide, kidnappings, betrayal, family wars, blood, and sacrifice, love might not be enough to save them. Yet she still smiles... Even as his world burns. Even when she becomes the flame. This is not just a love story. It’s a war between silence and healing. Between power and vulnerability. Between a smile... and a darkness that never asked to be loved.

Now, Ethan walks a new path—one of revenge, wealth, dungeon raids, and raw domination. From heartbreak to hero. From weak to unstoppable. This is his journey to the top.

After dying in the modern world, Scott Domain awakens at the dawn of existence as the secret son of Gaia and Uranus—reborn as the Titan of Soul. Though believed to be just another minor Titan, Elias retains his human mind and modern knowledge, making him an anomaly in a world ruled by primal forces and gods-to-be. Gifted with dominion over soul, identity, memory, and reincarnation, Elias forges a hidden realm of his own and begins crafting unique creations—Soulbeasts, Memory Trees, and an Archive of Lives. As the mythic world unfolds—from Uranus’ tyranny, through Cronus’ rebellion, to Zeus’ rise—Elias quietly shapes fate behind the scenes. While Titans and gods battle for power, others ascend to godhood by claiming pieces of the unconscious World Will, the sleeping mind of the cosmos. But as more divine beings awaken, the World Will begins to stir… and it hungers for dominion over all souls. To protect the essence of identity and free will, Elias must decide: remain a hidden force, become a guide to a new divine order, or rise as the soul of the world itself.

At a prestigious university in New York, psychology major Lena Hartley meets William Langston, a charismatic and sophisticated star of the art department. With his poetic charm and perfect manners, William seems like he stepped straight out of a romance novel. It doesn’t take long before Lena falls head over heels—and slowly opens up every part of herself to him. But the deeper she falls, the more suffocated she feels. Beneath William’s gentle exterior lies quiet control—he isolates her from others, monitors her phone, and dictates her social life. “I’m only doing this because I care,” he says with that ever-so-gentle smile. Just as Lena prepares to end the relationship, she discovers she’s pregnant. William is ecstatic. He promises to change, and for a while, their fragile relationship finds new peace. But it’s only the beginning of something far darker. After a sudden and suspicious miscarriage, William insists Lena "recover" at a secluded countryside estate. When she wakes up, she’s locked inside. He tells her, “This is our home now. I’m protecting you—from the world.” To everyone else, Lena is on a sabbatical abroad, grieving the loss of her child. In reality, she’s disappeared without a trace. During her captivity, Lena discovers the horrifying truth—William suffers from dissociative identity disorder, and she’s not the first person he’s tried to "love." Meanwhile, her aloof future stepbrother Sebastian has been quietly investigating William’s past, driven by a mysterious grudge that links the two men in ways Lena never imagined. When the truth is finally revealed, Lena realizes she didn’t meet William by chance. She was chosen—carefully, deliberately, and long before she ever knew his name. And the one man she never thought would save her… might be her only chance at freedom— and maybe even love.
