Evelyn Hugo

Evelyn McCommer has spent years running from the shadows of her past. Now, she’s back—determined to prove herself by helping save her family’s crumbling business. She’s focused, guarded, and in no mood for distractions. Especially not the arrogant billionaire who thinks the world should bow at his feet. Adrian T. Larsen built his empire on cold ambition and ruthless decisions. Burned by life and betrayed by love, he shuts off his heart and builds walls no one dares to scale. But when a stranger at a downtown club dares to ignore him—playing a silly game that bruises his ego—he can’t let it go. What starts as a chase born of pride quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. As their worlds collide and boundaries blur, Sofia draws herself into Adrian’s dark orbit. She knows she should stay away. Her past is a ticking time bomb, and letting him in could destroy them both. But the more she resists, the closer he gets—and the harder it becomes to hide the secrets that could cost them everything. She played with fire. Now the fire wants her. And Adrian Larsen always gets what he wants.

Alors que leurs pas les mènent vers des révélations inattendues, une question demeure : quelle est la véritable nature de Chibaki ?

I, Yuna Evelyn, was just an ordinary office worker on my way home—until I woke up inside the web novel I’d just finished reading, Conquering the Heart of the Cold Tyrant King. Worse, I’d become Yuna Rochefort, the villainess doomed to die in the first 10 chapters after her failed attempt to poison the heroine, Lilia! But nothing is going according to the original story. Lilia and the tyrant king, Kaelan, were destined to fall madly in love—while I was meant to perish in disgrace. So why are they both suddenly vying for my affection instead?! Is this a second chance… or a deadly new twist in the plot?

[Mature Content: NO RAPE] Let’s make a deal! “Two months, if we can survive each other in the period of two months, I will marry you without objection!” … Twenty-two-year-old Evelyn Darkwood never imagined that going to her late father’s will-reading would have resulted in a rivalry between her and her siblings. That they would become a danger to her—one who sought after her life.  She never thought that her life would take such a twisted turn so quickly. And what’s worse, she comes to find out that she’d been betrothed to a man she didn’t know and had never met.  Zayne Mancini. The wealthiest man. A man whose power and fame were no joke. A man who possibly could be the only one capable of protecting her.  Strong, cold, frightening, all this he was and despite the danger written all over him, Evelyn felt a strange connection, hot and burning.  Zayne Mancini wanted her—his betrothed (a human who was his mate) and he was going to make her his, no matter how stubborn she wanted to be about it.  Fascinating, thrilling, all this she was to him—like a spark to ignite his boring life. Evelyn Darkwood was a whole package that he was slowly going to bring undone.  A woman he wouldn’t think twice of burning the world for. A woman he would give his whole being to. All she had to say was, “I do”

One second I was falling down the stairs of my apartment with a half-eaten meal and a romance novel in hand, The next, I woke up naked in bed with a man I didn’t know... in a body that wasn’t mine. Worse? That man is Killian Raventon, the most feared Duke in the empire. Colder than winter, deadlier than war, and famous for never touching a woman more than once. Except this time… we’re married. I’ve transmigrated into the body of Lady Evelyn Wrenford, a spoiled noblewoman with a reputation for scandal and a fate sealed in disgrace. She was supposed to disappear after this drunken mistake. But now I’m Evelyn. And the Duke thinks I seduced him into marriage. The court wants me humiliated. His sister wants me destroyed. And Killian? He wants to unravel my secrets one slow touch at a time. But what no one knows is I’m not the real Evelyn. And I think I brought magic back with me.

Oxford, 1893. She’s the chaos he never planned for. He’s the silence she can’t quite break. When sharp-tongued student Iris Evelyn collides with cold, brilliant lecturer Edward Ashcroft, sparks don’t fly—they simmer. In whispered arguments. Glances across bookshelves. Letters never sent. Between debates and unspoken feelings, they orbit each other—too close to stay untouched, too distant to name what’s growing between them. But in a place like Oxford, love isn't a possibility. It's a liability. And the closer they get, the more it threatens to destroy them both. A slow-burn academic romance with razor-sharp banter, quiet heartbreak, and two people who were never supposed to feel this much.

Evelyn was certain she had met her end. The last thing she saw was a towering mutant lunging at her, its grotesque form a result of the very catastrophe that had wiped out most of humanity. But instead of death, she opened her eyes to a time when Earth was still livable—three months before the NASA satellite crash that had killed half the population and the nuclear plant collapse that had turned those who live near them into mindless mutants. This time, she refuses to be a helpless survivor. She will fight, prepare, and save those she lost in her past life. But unlike the reborn protagonists of novels, she has no hidden wealth, no space filled with supplies—just her knowledge of the future and a determination to survive. As she scavenges for essentials, she stumbles upon an unexpected burden—a small child who clings to her, calling her Mommy. Alone and vulnerable, the little girl would never survive the horrors to come. Against her better judgment, Evelyn takes her in. But protecting herself was hard enough. Can she shield an innocent child from the apocalypse while rewriting the fate of the world?

When monsters sprouted from suddenly appearing towers all over the world, the world leaders created an organization of skilled warriors to tackle this problem. The warriors compromised of awakened humans; people who had gotten skills similar to those in a video game. Unfortunately, not everyone was willing to join this attack force, so the world leaders implemented a lottery-system to fill out the ranks. A few years later, Evelyn’s twin sister was chosen via lottery to become a discoverer, but their biased parents forced Evelyn to go in her sister's stead, putting her in the line of danger. The only salvation was that her finance was also sent on the same mission. The mission was to conquer a new Boss floor, and they were to fight against a monster of unpresented might. What she hadn’t expected was that her fiancé would betray her, because of a plot he concocted together with her sister. The monster annihilated their whole team before they were finally able to defeat it, but her fiancé had no thoughts of letting her leave the tower. Stabbing her in the back, he leered over her as he explained their plan while she slowly bled to death. With the last of her life force, dead set on getting her revenge on the man she had promised her life with, she heals the boss monster in hopes that it will kill him. As she slowly closes her eyes, the world going dark around her, a notification from the system pops up. “ New class: Black healer Congratulations! You have completed the hidden legendary quest, healing an S-ranked monster on its last breath by sacrificing yourself. Your immensely caring heart should be an inspiration to all healers, both human and monsters! Not caring for the wounded’s different race and even sacrificing the last of your own life, you have been given a new chance at life. ” Waking up, she is now back three years before the battle took place. Her new life starts now!

The Vampire And His Bride A dark historical vampire romance — seductive, gothic, and dangerously unforgettable. She was once the Queen of Night. Now she doesn’t remember his kiss—or the child she died to protect. When Lady Lora Evelyn Moreau is abducted from her quiet life and brought to the remote Castle Virel, she’s told she is the long-lost bride of an ancient vampire lord. But Evelyn remembers none of it—not the blood, not the vows, and certainly not the man who now claims to have once ruled the night beside her. Lord Dorian Virel is cold, commanding, and impossibly beautiful. His kiss awakens something in her—something fierce and buried deep. He says she left him, abandoned their love and their daughter to protect them from the Crimson Court, a brutal order of vampire elders who now seek the forbidden child. But Lora isn’t the same woman she was a century ago. She isn’t just a pawn in their immortal games. As forbidden memories return and ancient powers begin to stir in her blood, Lora must decide: Will she surrender to the passion that once consumed her? Or rise as something more—lover, mother, queen? Because the Crimson Court wants a bride. But what they’ll get… is a war.

Evelyn married Duke Kael Dorne before he left for war. Their marriage was cold from the start—built on duty, not love. While he became a hero on the battlefield, she stayed behind, managing the estate alone. She gave up her sword, her dreams, and her youth to protect his name and their home. Ten years passed. When Kael finally returned, he brought another woman with him—young, beautiful, and carrying his child. Evelyn said nothing. Everyone believed she was barren, unfit as a duchess. No one knew the truth—that she and Kael had barely shared more than words. They lived like strangers. She was never seen, never chosen. In her first life, she broke. She turned cruel. She lost everything. But now, given a second chance and knowing she doesn't have long to live, Evelyn chooses a quiet goodbye. She smiles at the woman carrying her husband’s child. She plays the perfect duchess. She asks for nothing. And Kael… starts to wonder why it hurts to see her smile that way. By the time he understands what he’s lost, it might already be too late

Long before the world of Hugo Gyrfald ever drew breath, before time etched itself into linearity, three souls carved their names across dimensions: Caelumis, God of light, a mind unshackled by logic or fate; Narsimha, God of Combat, a warrior born of chaos and compassion; and Sylviora, Goddess of nature, the last seer of a dying plane, whose silence echoed louder than prophecy. Set in a higher realm than the one Hugo is in, Council of Gods unveils the forgotten era billions of years before the events of Reborn as Lazy Lord Destined to Doom. In a realm where mortals are myths and laws of existence are negotiated rather than obeyed, these three beings walk the precipice between collapse and ascension. As they navigate wars between dimensions, living concepts, and timeless trials, the trio is drawn toward the fabled Council of Gods, a force said to maintain cosmic equilibrium, presided over by a mystic entity that defies definition. No one knows whether it’s a god, a system, or something that simply is. But one thing is certain, entry to the council comes at a cost no one fully understands. Watch as the future gods of Hugo’s world face a reality where divinity isn’t gifted but earned, and sometimes... stolen.

They said Evelyn was just a pretty accessory on his arm. A quiet wife who never dared to speak back. But when she walked away from the cold, powerful man who shattered her trust, she didn’t just disappear. She rebuilt herself. From the ashes of heartbreak, she rose as a force to be reckoned with, successful, stunning, and completely untouchable. Now, years later, she returns with a child at her side and a name that creates fear in their hearts. She’s no longer the woman who once begged for his attention. And he, arrogant, ruthless CEO, suddenly finds himself haunted by regret and desperate for a second chance. But some wounds don’t heal easily. And not every ex-wife comes back to forgive. This time, she’s not here to love him. She’s here to show him exactly what he lost.

They called me a curse. Said I was a monster with a pretty face. I’ve been drowned, burned, and broken more times than I can count. But no matter how many times they try to kill me, I always survived. They say I’m dangerous. They say I should’ve stayed dead, because all I bring is misery and death with every step I take. I’ve spent half a century just trying to live. And through it all, I’ve carried pain deeper than anyone will ever know. So when they shoved me into a barrel and threw me into the ocean, I didn’t fight because I was too tired to survive. All I wanted was for death to finally take me. But just when I was ready to give up, the ocean delivered me to them, the Five Alphas. A beast-king with eyes like gold and a heart carved from stone. A wild Alpha who burns with too much rage and too much love. A sorcerer who speaks like he’s known me forever. A soldier of ice, who watches like he’s waiting for me to come home. And a rogue who tempts me to burn everything I once feared. They say they’re my mates. That I was made for them. I once dreamed of living in a tiny house full of flowers. But that fragile dream shattered the moment I met them. My Alphas offered me more than a garden or a warm meal. They gave me their kingdoms, their people, and their thrones. My name is Evelyn Seris, the last Luna no one was supposed to find. If the world expects me to kneel before my Alphas, they’d better learn to kiss my feet first. ———— Disclaimer: This is a reverse harem, which mean the FL doesn't need to choose her ML Follow my IG @Zenanicher Commission cover by Liliy Xiv

As the Duchess of House D’Lorien and wife to the ambitious Alaric Vessant, she was meant to be a symbol of stability in a crumbling empire. Instead, she was accused of treason, chained at the pyre, and sentenced to burn. The empire turned its back. Her husband watched in silence.
