Discuss Pride And Prejudice By Austen As A Romance

(Warning- Mature Content) "It could have been anyone. Then why me?" Michael Clark took a pause before replying as his eyes met hers. "Because it had to be you." Ashley Parker had believed that the biggest twist her life took was when she went for an interview but got hired as a wife. Just how wrong she was! Michael Clark was the name that was infamous around the country. Being the future leader of the Clark Industries, he was widely known for his dedication towards his aims. Everyone had believed that whoever will marry him would either belong to some royal family or equally prestigious one. However, it took everyone by surprise when he got married to an orphan. An orphan who did not meet the expectations of his stinking-rich family at all. The Clarks were no less than the royals. It was the family living as a joint, setting themselves as a big-happy family. In reality, it was messed-up, with troubled internal history. They did not get along with each other! And it was an understatement that they disliked Ashley. What was trusted to be a fairytale was nothing but a facade behind the closed doors. There was a deal hidden from all. Michael had a purpose to fulfill for which Ashley Parker would stay as his wife for three years and he will pay off her debts in return. After that they will part their ways. What Ashely could not understand throughout was why it had to be only her when she had nothing to offer him? "That day you said it had to be me. Why?" She tried again. "You do know that the curosity kills the cat, right?" "At least warn me if it will be harmful to me." His thumb halted on her skin. His eyes which were following his thumb all the while met her eyes again. She looked at him with something close to desperation. It was the desperation to have a slightest hint of what was needed of her. "A warning, right." Michael murmered. "Dangers will be upon you but I promise that not a single scratch you will get." Unbeknownst to her, she was the most useful to him. Her entire being. Her identity. Just her existence. No money in the world could buy her existence. What game was he even playing? Nothing materialistic. But something that no money in the world could buy. What Michael did not imagine was to get obsessed with his pretty wife. He never thought that his desires would take over him, making him go against himself to keep her as his. Only his. The flame of the revenge would die. The raged breaths would calm. The darkened period would get to see the new light just as long as she was alive. And then one day, incidents began occurring, secrets started unfolding and her heart began falling when she realized what purpose was that drove Michael to marry her.

“Everything has a price,” he said coldly. “Even you.” Aria James had it all—beauty, privilege, and a picture-perfect fiancé. But when her father's company collapses in scandal, she’s left bankrupt, humiliated, and abandoned. Desperate to protect what’s left of her family’s reputation, she agrees to participate in a charity auction, offering a “date” to the highest bidder. She never expected the bidder to be Leon Castellan—the ruthless billionaire known for his icy heart and deadly business instincts. His offer? Thirty days. No escape. No emotions. Just obedience. To him, Aria is nothing more than a temporary possession. A beautiful distraction he can control… and discard. But as boundaries blur and secrets unravel, Aria discovers that Leon’s interest in her is far from random. And the real reason he bought her might destroy them both. He doesn’t believe in love. She doesn’t believe in ownership. But what happens when obsession turns into something more dangerous than either expected?

What do you do when your brother dies because of some entitled assholes? You go undercover. My real name? Clare. But at school, I’m Clause—just another guy blending in. Disguised. Watching. Yes, a boy. No, it's not an all-boys school—I'm just deep undercover, hunting down the bastard responsible for my brother’s suicide. Nobody—and I mean nobody—messes with my precious brother and gets away with it. They better pray I never find them, because when I do? Death will be a mercy, and trust me—I don’t do mercy. And as for the egotistical Alpha and the narcissistic Vampire Prince? They can go fuck themselves. I don’t do mates, I don’t do claiming, and I sure as hell don’t do them.

Fifty thousand dollars!" someone barked like they were auctioning off livestock. That was the first thing I heard when I woke up—chained, collared, and confused. You’re probably wondering how I ended up here. Yeah… me too. One moment, I was yelling into a megaphone in front of Bio Gen Tower, protesting their twisted experiments on women’s fertility. The next? I was injected, blacking out as my protest sign got stomped into the pavement. I didn’t wake up in a hospital. I woke up in a whole new world. Here, I’m not a protester. I’m not even a person. I’m a Breeder. Apparently, my new body belongs to a rare class of women with "high fertility"—a walking womb meant to repopulate a kingdom on the brink. And just my luck? I was bought at a dark auction by five dangerously powerful Alpha brothers. Each one wants something different from me: The cold, commanding heir who sees me as property. The sly second who toys with me for fun. The hostage prince who hides daggers in every smile. And the wild twin brothers—charming, reckless, and always watching. They think I’m just a tool. A means to an heir. But I didn’t die fighting for women’s freedom just to become someone’s pet. They may have bought my body, but my mind? My fire? That still belongs to me. And if they think I’ll roll over and obey… They’re not ready for the kind of woman I really am. ---

Transmigrated into a werewolf realm, bound to two mates, and accused of treason—she woke up chained, beaten, and moments away from execution and death. But this wasn’t her life. It wasn’t even her real world. The last thing Lena Wexford remembered was dying—paralyzed in a hospital bed while she watched her fiancé, the same man she had loved and vowed to spend her life with, have sex with her younger sister as the poison he gave her shut her body down. She was supposed to die. That was supposed to be the end. But instead, she was given a second chance at revenge—and she took it. Only, she opened her eyes in Lykaris, the savage werewolf realm… inside the body of a powerless, wolfless, and rejected omega named Lana. A woman who looked exactly like her, but couldn’t have been more different. A woman charged with treason—for poisoning the Alpha—her husband and mate. And as if that wasn’t enough, she feels a strong mate bond with the second in command of the pack—the Alpha’s younger brother, thesame man Lana had been having an affair with. Now, with two fading mate bonds, a brutal System built for vengeance, and a deadly mission she must complete in order to return home, but Lena was given  one rule: Survive. Level up. And when the time comes—burn everything down. Because if she dies here, there’s no second chance. This time, death is forever. But is it really that simple? Lana was hated by the entire pack. Her family had been branded traitors for helping a rival clan in a war that nearly wiped the pack out. She was shunned—not just for being the traitor’s daughter, but for being weak… and wolfless. But fate had other plans—binding and mating her to the two most powerful wolves in the realm. Two brothers. Two rulers. And two Alphas. Both of them are determined to dominate her.

Kang Li woke up in the body of the sickly beauty, the youngest daughter of the Kang family in Aoli Village, who had been spoiled and pampered all her life. The original host had a tough life, first being dumped, then marrying a divorced man in a fit of anger to become a stepmother, only to find herself unfortunately becoming the control set for another stepmother in the courtyard. She could certainly be considered a top contender for cannon fodder among supporting female characters. But to Kang Li, none of this was a problem. All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish. Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly! Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad! However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress. The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall. Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step. A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier. - Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.

Now, Ashton has a few minor inconveniences to deal with. First, he's stuck in a decaying body. Second his memories aren't fully intact. Third, it would prick his pride if the descendants of "blessed" dragon died while he was in their territory. Fourth, he has two really, really, REALLY scary siblings that don't always bother with the details. Fifth, the only reason this princess and her mother even had the chance to scheme against him is because he was looking for a possible mate. He's the only one of his kind, thousands of years alone has him craving for a companion... for a heart to sing just for him... There are really only two outcomes now that Ashton is starting to regain his memories. Will the princess succeed in dragging him down, used as the new sacrifice to keep the "blessing" going, or will he ascend?

Kayn never asked for much, just a stable income, enough to put his little brother through college and enough strength to keep his family safe from the incoming world war. But when he finally steps into Votum, the world beyond the portals that changed Earth forever, everything goes wrong. Swallowed by a unique dungeon, Kayn woke up in a twisted land. Black skies, crimson forests, and monsters unlike anything ever seen before. And when he absorbs his first monster essence, his transformation core activates. “Demon essence consumed.” “You are the first human to absorb a demon.” “You have become the progenitor.” “You may customize your demon transformation.” ========================= Author's note : This story will juggle between Earth, Votum, and the Demon World. He might not be able to travel to the three worlds freely at the beginning, but he would find a way to do that later on. The tone of the novel would also change depending on the world in which he currently resides. I hope you all find this an enjoyable read to pass the time.
