That Guy Who Posed For Romance

ILLICIT ROMANCE

Zelda Delacroix is no ordinary girl—raised in a world of affluence, power, and hidden secrets, she’s adopted into the prestigious Delacroix family, where appearances are everything and silence is survival. But beneath the surface of her new life lies a web of forbidden desire, fractured loyalties, and dangerous truths no one dares to speak. As Zelda tries to navigate university, dreams of becoming an architect, and the unrelenting expectations of the Delacroix household, she finds herself drawn to Lucien—the cold, enigmatic eldest son of the family who has always watched her from a distance. He’s off-limits, untouchable, and infuriatingly magnetic. Their connection simmers quietly, the tension growing more unbearable with each stolen glance and whispered word. But Lucien isn’t the only one watching her. The family’s secrets begin to unravel, and a forgotten brother erased from all records haunts the corners of Zelda’s life. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that could shatter the Delacroix name—and cost her everything. Meanwhile, rivals emerge. Marcella, a cunning girl from another elite family, pretends to befriend Zelda while scheming to steal Lucien. And Delphine Vale, a petite and seemingly harmless classmate, hides sinister intentions beneath her sweet smile. Every step Zelda takes forward is shadowed by betrayal. With her budding friendship with the genuine and free-spirited Ariyah, and the quiet support of her adoptive brothers Berrett and Ryan, Zelda tries to hold on to her sanity. But as the line between protector and possessor blurs in her relationship with Lucien, and long-buried feelings rise to the surface, Zelda must decide: Can she survive the weight of a love that was never meant to happen? And in a house built on secrets… who will burn first?

The Tyrant Who Bled For The Heavens

Edit:- I am happy to announce as the author that I have already posted the longer, more detailed version of this story(As I had promised). So, my dear readers, please be sure to visit that version too and I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Also please new readers, read the guide first, it will help you. In the fractured world of Eastern cultivation, where powerful sects rule with divine mandates and mortals live beneath the crushing weight of spiritual tyranny, one name has endured centuries of hatred: Yan Zhuo, the Crimson Tyrant. Branded a mass murderer, destroyer of sacred clans, and defiler of Heaven’s Law, his legend is one of cruelty beyond redemption. But when Yue Lian(Lin Xue), a young archaeological cultivator with a thirst for truth, uncovers the forbidden Tomb of Crimson Silence, everything begins to unravel. Within the icy heart of Mount Jueyan, she discovers jade slips bearing the voice and memories of the so-called tyrant—not of a villain, but a martyr. Yan Zhuo was the only cultivator to uncover the celestial truth: that the Heaven Mandate required the mass sacrifice of innocents to keep the realm in balance. Unable to sway the corrupt sects, he chose another path—becoming the villain everyone could unite against. Through bloodshed and false cruelty, he disrupted the Mandate’s rituals, severed ley lines, and sealed the realm from celestial control—at the cost of his own soul. As Yue Lian(Lin Xue) unearths the truth, the cultivation world begins to fracture once more. Old enemies rise, sect leaders tremble, and a new generation begins to question everything they’ve been taught. Through flame, memory, and redemption, the tale of Yan Zhuo resurfaces—not as a tyrant, but as a savior damned by his own mercy. A misunderstood tyrant. A buried truth. A world built on lies. This is the story of the man who bled for the heavens.
