mysterious identity

Alina Shah: The Hidden Heiress Alina Shah was a 25-year-old successful businesswoman, known for her power, confidence, and striking beauty. But beneath her commanding presence lay a hidden truth—she was the daughter of one of the richest and most powerful families in the country. Few knew her true lineage, and she intended to keep it that way. Her short, sleek black hair framed her sharp, hypnotic hazel-wolf eyes, a gaze that could intimidate even the bravest souls. Alina never believed in love. To her, romance was a distraction, an obstacle in the path of her ambitions. She had vowed never to marry, dedicating her life to her goals. She was kind and loyal to those who stood by her side, but to her enemies and betrayers, she was the most ruthless woman in the world. However, her family had other plans. They demanded that she marry, threatening to strip her of her inheritance if she refused. Left with no choice, she agreed—but on her own terms. Her family had arranged her marriage to a wealthy partner’s son, Lion, a man she despised. To her, he was nothing more than a spoiled, irresponsible playboy who had never known hardship. Determined to escape this fate, Alina devised a plan. She would marry a man from a normal background, stay with him for two years, then divorce him—convincing her family she was done with marriage forever. Her trusted assistant and childhood friend, Ema, was tasked with finding the perfect candidate. Ema, a 27-year-old intelligent and composed woman, had worked for Alina for five years, never allowing emotions to cloud her judgment. She understood Alina’s mind better than anyone. The hiring day arrived. Alina personally interviewed each candidate, but none impressed her. Most were timid, unremarkable, or clearly in it for money. Frustrated, she sighed, rubbing her temple as she glanced through the pile of documents before her. The sound of firm, deliberate footsteps interrupted her thoughts. Looking up, she saw him. A tall, broad-shouldered man stood before her. His presence was commanding yet mysterious. His sharp jawline, piercing eyes, and silent confidence sent a strange sensation through her. There was something different about him—something that made her pause. Her heart skipped, just for a moment. Alina quickly masked her reaction, but the slight tightening in her chest unsettled her. She wasn’t one to be easily affected. What was it about this man? She lowered her gaze to the document in her hand. His name was Victor Lison. His background was simple, unassuming—exactly what she was looking for. But the feeling in her gut told her there was more to him than met the eye. Victor met her gaze with a steady intensity, his expression unreadable. Alina, who prided herself on always being in control, felt an unfamiliar sense of unease. It wasn’t just attraction—it was something deeper, something unsettling. For the first time in her life, Alina Shah felt uncertainty. And it terrified her. --- Chapter 2: The Mysterious Man When she walked into the office the next morning, Alina still couldn’t shake the strange feeling from yesterday. Victor Lison. The name echoed in her mind like an unsolved riddle. Who was he? Why did he seem familiar when she was certain she had never met him before? She had spent the night trying to dismiss the sensation, but it lingered like a shadow in the back of her mind. Alina prided herself on rationality, on keeping her emotions locked away where they couldn’t interfere with her decisions. And yet, Victor had managed to unnerve her with nothing more than a look. She took a deep breath, pushing the thoughts aside. Today, she would finalize the contract. Two years. That was all. Nothing more, nothing less. As she sat at her desk, a knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. “Come in,” she called, straightening her posture. The door opened, and there he was. Victor stepped inside, his movements controlled, his gaze calm but unreadable. He carried himsel

The Sect Master Only Accepts Protagonists

Lin Fan one day is searching for games to play when he comes across an interesting title. However, when he goes to play, he finds himself transported into the game world, as the Sect Master of the Moon Embracing Sect. The once-mighty Moon Embracing Sect had long since fallen into obscurity, but Lin Fan has devised a plan to survive: the game mentioned an increase in power and talent with each disciple accepted, with the rewards dependent on the talent of the disciple. And what better disciples to accept than those with a protagonist template and the children of destiny? Thus, he established a unorthodox admission policy: - Those with missing parents and annulled engagements, automatic admission. - Those who talked to rings, old men in paintings, or mysterious artifacts, automatic admission. - Those who had survived more than three near-death encounters, automatic admission. - Those whose enemies enjoyed sneering arrogantly before getting crushed, automatic admission. - And, of course, those who carried the aura of a protagonist, automatic admission. The strategy seemed foolproof—until the Fifth Elder excitedly brought news of a candidate who checked every box. Lin Fan was thrilled… until he heard the name: Tang. Danger alarms rang in his mind. This wasn’t a disciple; this was a walking catastrophe! Without hesitation, Lin Fan rewrote destiny itself, erased the sect’s involvement, and carefully redirected this disaster-child toward their greatest rival instead. As he barricaded himself in closed-door seclusion, one thought haunted him: Had he just saved his sect… or doomed the entire world? A cultivation comedy where tropes are shattered, clichés are exploited, and a sect leader does everything in his power to outmaneuver fate itself! ================= Translated but with some things removed or added to make it more readable and logical.

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.
