Deathly Hallows

"To survive a death prison, she married a broken prince. To protect him, she played nurse, wife—and shield. But in the end, who saved whom from the deathly prison, where life itself is a game?" ... When Yan Shuixin transmigrates into a novel, she wakes up in a dungeon—midway through a wedding to the infamous Prince An. The empire believes he’s a traitor. Blinded in one eye, disfigured, and crippled, Prince An was thrown into a death prison where nobles gamble on which inmate will die next. He's the royal everyone mocks, the man no one dares to stand beside. But Yan Shuixin knows the truth. She’s read the book. Prince An’s scars were earned saving the emperor, not betraying him. The prison itself is a trap—engineered by the ambitious Prince Jin to eliminate rivals and seize the throne. In six months, the emperor will uncover the truth and send a rescue. But by then, only a handful of the 330 prisoners will still be alive. And the prince’s new bride? Buried with the rest. Now cast in that doomed role, Yan Shuixin has one goal: survive. So she tends to the prince’s wounds, warms his bed, shields him from enemies, and refuses to fear the man fate discarded. She doesn’t expect him to care. She only hopes he lets her live. But when the rescue comes, so does his former fiancée—begging for forgiveness. Prince An only tightened his hold on Yan Shuixin and said coldly: “The mistress of Prince An’s manor is her. Anyone who dares covet her—will be disfigured.” And just like that, the girl who clung to him to stay alive... Had stolen the heart of the forgotten prince. ... Ever since Xiao Ye Heng lost his sight and was disfigured, his heart had turned to ashes. Then came the shattered leg—and with it, his descent into hell. He had long given up on living. He simply waited to die within those prison walls. Until Yan Shuixin appeared—like a beam of sunlight cutting through the gloom. She lit up the life he thought had lost all color, warmed the heart he believed had frozen beyond redemption. She became his reason to live. His obsession. His fate. My Other Works: 1. The Imperial Concubine is the Most Favored in the Harem 2. How to Stop the Villain from Going Crazy

Waking up crushed under a man, I nearly screamed—until I saw who it was. Adrian. My cold, obsessive husband. The man I spent a lifetime escaping from. In my past life, I trusted the wrong people. Betrayed the only man who ever protected me and died alone. One life ruined me. This one? I’ll ruin everyone who tries again. Now, the game is mine and I write the rules. I'll act sweet. Stay mysterious. And pit every snake against each other. And as for my dangerously obsessed husband? I will tame—wait... WAIT! I was just being a little gentle, why is this tyrant acting like a delicate princess? 'Hey, hey, stop clinging to me! What? You want cuddles? Head pats? You—You are not a cat, Adrian!' … “He’s deathly allergic to strawberries? But he devoured one from my hand like it’s a miracle elixir.” “He has sleeping disorders? But he hugged me and passed out like a lazy cat!” “He’s sulking… because I didn’t hold his hand?” When he saw me hugging my female best friend? He lost his mind. Yanked me into his arms and growled, “Mine,” like a deranged villain in love. I finally understood: no one else ever stood a chance. I was his only obsession.

After arriving in Japan, I became a high school student named Kamiyagawa. Looking around— Hanako crouched in the bathroom, waiting for someone to knock on the door; the Split-Mouth Woman wandered the streets with scissors in hand; Miss Mary's deathly calls echoed incessantly; the wails and barks in Inunaki Village never ceased; the Ubume searched for her long-dead child; the Aoandon smiled, enticing passersby to play with the lanterns of a hundred demons… In a crumbling world rampant with sinister tales and malevolent spirits, Kamiyagawa set a small goal for himself: "Defeat all the demons and monsters, and become the supreme ruler of ghosts and deities."

The legend of the warrior and the emperor Zhao --- In the hallowed halls of the Academy of Wisdom, where the ancient teachings of Confucius and Laozi are whispered on the winds and the scent of ink lingers in the air, Master Li stood before the eager students. His voice was soft yet commanding, as he began to weave a tale-a legend passed down through the generations of the Imperial family. "Long, long ago," Master Li began, his eyes distant as if recalling a time forgotten by all but the stars themselves, "there was an Emperor whose wisdom was as vast as the skies, and whose reign brought prosperity to the Empire. His name was Zhao, and he was the first of his line to rule the land with the strength of both the heavens and the earth." The students listened intently, their minds open to the ancient story unfolding before them. "Emperor Zhao was not just a ruler, but a man of great virtue and insight," Master Li continued. "He understood that a wise ruler must not only lead with strength but also seek the counsel of those whose hearts were pure. It was said that no problem, no matter how great, could be solved by force alone. And so, Emperor Zhao sought not only the most skilled generals but also the most brilliant minds to guide him." The room grew quiet as Master Li paused, his gaze sweeping over the students. A murmur ran through the students, for they had never heard of this warrior. "Emperor Zhao, recognizing the warrior's great potential, took him into his court not just as a soldier but as a counselor, a trusted friend. Remember, my students, that in every great ruler, there is always a companion who remains in the shadows, their strength and wisdom shaping the future. Like Vikram, who stood beside Emperor Zhao, many warriors and scholars are the silent forces that keep the wheel of history turning." _________ 22/01/2025 A very beautiful love story between two beautiful souls.

~•No Escape•~ "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps. "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear. He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body. "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you" _______________________ Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady. She had an appealing beauty with her green eyes that invoked and impelled anyone who gazed into them. She had fooled her villagers so she could live and protect herself and her remaining family from the night creatures and also humans. But what was bizarre of all, was that Perdita had a secret she shared with no one. She had lived in the village since she was little, and over the years, she had been discreet with each move she made. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she planned. Despite her cautious decorum and fight to stay out of sight, a pair of glacial red eyes falls on her, which followed and refused to leave her out of sight.

In a world teetering on the precipice of annihilation, where the veil between realities is tearing, the hallowed halls of Umbría, a hidden academy of magic, become the unlikely crucible for Earth’s last stand. What begins as a battle against a fallen mentor, Nyx, and her Chaos Dragon, Poimandres, spirals into a desperate war against cosmic horrors and ancient deceptions that have shaped human history for millennia. Young mage Aria, struggling with her own volatile powers, finds herself at the heart of this maelstrom. Guided by the enigmatic, ageless Merlín, she and her allies – including the brooding vampire prince Drácula, whose own cursed evolution unleashes terrifying new abilities, and a team of scientists clinging to the fringe theories of the disappeared Jacobo Grinberg – must confront an awakening Cthulhu from the depths of the Caribbean. Their only hope seems to lie in a desperate alliance forged in Cancún, a powerful and dangerous energy vortex. But Cthulhu is not their only foe. The Netlin, majestic and terrifying fallen angels led by the Supreme Commander Amitiel, issue an ultimatum: submit to their absolute Order or be purged. Yet, a horrifying truth is unveiled – Amitiel is Cthulhu's own "brother," and their Luciferin Netlin faction has been allied with the Primeval One since the ancient Lyra Wars, orchestrating chaos under the guise of divine intervention. As ancient alien races – Reptilians, Greys, and Insectoids – resurface to battle their former cosmic masters, the Anunnaki Enki reveals a staggering secret: humanity itself was genetically engineered by his race, our true potential locked away in dormant DNA, our history manipulated by figures like Porfirio Díaz acting under alien influence. Even Earth’s most powerful secret society, the Thirteen Families, are revealed to be mere servants of Enlil, Enki's ruthless Anunnaki brother, whose own hidden city, Ki'Gal, lies deep within a mythical Hollow Earth. From the deserts of Chihuahua where Mayan shamans guard timeless secrets and the perilous "Zone of Silence," to the lost history of Lilith and her tragic celestial lover, and the revelation of Poimandres as the Universal Mind that once inspired Hermes Trismegistus, Aria and her companions are thrust into a multi-layered conflict. They must navigate treacherous alliances, awaken humanity's forgotten power, and confront the truth of their "Forgotten Genesis." With the planet's very consciousness, Gaia, stirring, and an army of earth spirits, the Aluxes, fighting in subterranean realms, the battle for Earth becomes a war for the fundamental structure of reality – The Lattice. Aria, now recognized as a "reborn soul" targeted by the cosmic tyrants, must master her evolving magic and embrace a destiny that could save humanity or shatter existence itself. Will they unlock the secrets of the silenced genome and the ancient Lattice before Cthulhu and Amitiel impose their silent, ordered void upon the universe? The echoes of a forgotten past hold the key to a future that may never dawn.

Going against the corrupted world, the General had succeeded in what he’d set out to do. With every enemy beaten, all obstacles cleared, and his soul drenched in blood, he stared at the blue sky and sighed. He regretted it all. Everything. It wasn’t worth it. He wasn’t happy. Staring at the corpses of everyone he’d killed in the recent battle. He only felt deathly emptiness. Why did I kill them… I could’ve just let some live… He thought he was tired before the battle, but now he was truly drained. None of it meant anything. It was over though. The war over. The battle finished. And his time was done. If he had tried as hard as he could in the earlier battle, maybe he could’ve survived this, if he decided to, maybe he could stay alive. But it was too late. There was no point. He had done it before. He’s survived against all odds and even against greater things, he’s powered through it all. But no. It wasn’t worth it. He was better off dead. So he allowed it. And it was over. The fool was dead, but someone nameless into another world would not be. Authors Note: Not a wish fulfillment story. I just wanna make something half decent at this point.
