“An illegitimate child will always be an outsider.” For Yu Lixue, life in the Yu family was one of endless humiliation. As the unwanted daughter with no mother to defend her, she was treated like a pawn, used, ignored, and discarded. Her talents—her paintings, her songs—were stolen by her stepmother and conniving half-sister, who claimed them as their own. Her life was a series of shadows and silence, living under their lies. But when her half-sister fled an arranged marriage with Mo Ran, a powerful but reclusive man, the family forced Lixue to take her place. Once again, her wishes were disregarded. Her marriage to Mo Ran was cold, distant—another prison she had no choice but to endure. Until the night she died in a mysterious accident, her pleas for justice buried along with her. Yet fate gave her a second chance. Reborn into the same world that betrayed her, Lixue returns with a vow: she will take back everything they stole—her art, her voice, her freedom. And when she reenters her marriage with Mo Ran, he surprises her with a proposition: he will help her get revenge against those who wronged her. But Lixue is wary. Why is this man, who barely showed her any warmth before, now offering to stand by her side? As they plot against the Yu family, Lixue realizes that Mo Ran has his own reasons for revenge. Their alliance begins to blur the line between ally and enemy, and she questions whether he’s truly on her side or if he has his own hidden agenda. In a world filled with deceit and betrayal, Yu Lixue must decide: will she risk trusting her husband, or will she forge her own path to reclaim what’s hers, no matter the cost? Excerpt: Lixue stared down at the steaming bowl of soup on the table, blinking in surprise. Mo Ran placed it before her with a steady hand, his usual calm expression softened just slightly by a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes. She tried to catch his gaze, but he’d already turned away, busying himself with the teapot. “Why are you…?” she murmured, glancing between the bowl and him, her voice trailing off. He looked up, meeting her eyes with a hint of amusement. “Why am I what?” She fumbled for words, her cheeks warming. “Why are you…being so nice to me?” A small smile played on his lips, barely there but just enough to leave her heart fluttering. “Is it so strange for a husband to be kind to his wife?” She opened her mouth to reply, but nothing came out. The Mo Ran she remembered from her past life had been as cold as winter, never sparing her a second glance. This new version of him, warm and considerate, left her feeling…confused. “Eat,” he said, his voice soft. “You didn’t eat much at breakfast.” She nodded, taking the spoon with a slight tremor in her fingers. The soup was rich, comforting—something she would have loved as a child. The warmth of it melted away a part of her guardedness, leaving her strangely vulnerable. As she set down her spoon, she glanced at him again, still puzzled. “What’s gotten into you, Mo Ran?” “…” “Let’s just say I want to spoil you my darling..”

Le monde était exactement le même que celui dans le roman qu'il avait lu la veille de sa mort. La personne dont il avait pris possession avait le même nom que lui mais n'était pas mentionnée dans le roman parce qu'elle était morte deux ans avant que les forces du chaos n'envahissent le comté. Cela voulait dire que, tandis que Roy était vivant dans ce nouveau corps, deux ans plus tard, il mourrait, déchiré & mangé par un monstre. Il avait besoin de force pour survivre aux événements futurs, mais contrairement au protagoniste des romans Stallion, il n'avait pas de doigt en or!

What happens when a scientific genius lands in a world of magic? Gene-a sharp mind from a world of logic-finds himself reincarnated in a place where spells and mythical creatures are the norm. But he’s not just here to follow the rules. Armed with both science and magic, Gene’s ready to shake things up. With each new discovery, he’s transforming the way people see magic, turning old traditions on their head and revealing possibilities no one ever imagined. Just how much will his knowledge change this world? Only time will tell. Overhaul in progress -->The story will continue, but there will be some major changes: 1. The narration style will be adjusted to have a third-person point of view. 2. Characterization will be improved. 3. The worldbuilding and magic system will be further developed. These "repairs" to the story are necessary for smoother plot progression. It may take some time, but I aim to complete at least one chapter a day so the story can resume as soon as possible. Apologies for the long hiatus; there’s still much to cover plot-wise, and I hope the story will continue soon. Potential dislikes: Gender Bender, Gl

moved to fanfic section cuz I'm dumb also I don't own anything u can read the old stuff here

A young man with a bright future ahead of him gets run over by a talking train, and is sent into a mystical, fantasy world filled to the centimeter with anything a man can think of. Uniquely interesting individuals to meet, grand locations to explore, and strange societies, with underlying mysteries awaiting to be explored. However... a good protagonist is always aided by an equally noteworthy, and possibly bizarre, cast of acquaintances. *** Tags: [Realism], [Isekai], [Cynical], [Dark], and [Slow-paced] (Or so I've been told). Disclaimers: 1. In spite of what Randall (the MC) says at the start, it is NOT a harem. 2. I will also shift POVs (and provide a clarification) whenever I consider it's worth it. However, the spotlight will be on the MC most of the time. 3. The MC starts off overpowered, but that will change after Chapter 40. I don't really like OP MCs too much. 4. Please read the first 3 chapters to decide whether it's worth reading. Finally, this is also my first time publishing a novel, so I hope it's not too bad. (PS: Cover is AI made.)

He scrunched his nose, gritted his teeth, and chided, “what do you think about yourself?” His fangs started showing. She squinted her eyes and smirked, “The girl who beat you.” “Why did you come back? You ran away, then why did you come back?” he yelled. “To rub it in your face,” she replied. Her every word was like a dagger to his heart. “I won. I won and you lost, at last.” “I was so happy you were not here,” he chided. “Maybe that’s why I am here because I would hate to see you happy. I want you to cry and be sad all your life,” she snapped. “Cry, in front of you? You are the one who will cry.

Rani adalah seorang wanita yang dipaksa oleh keadaan untuk mandiri dan kuat.

Princess Kaylan - that was her name. Young, pretty, smart, and most importantly, crazy. She wasn't the regular kind of princess you must've read in books or heard about. As a matter of fact, her family and people of her Kingdom often wondered if she was really the King's daughter. If it wasn't for the extreme love and trust King Moreh had for his fourth wife - who was Kaylan's mother - he'd have doubted and questioned her loyalty and suspected Kaylan was for another man - not him.. Kaylan was always seen on the streets, playing, fighting and causing confusion. Go to the busiest places in the Kingdom - there you'll find Kaylan. Go to the market place - Kaylan would surely be there. When you see a crowd gathered due to a fight, check properly and Kaylan must be involved. That's been the life of the princess. Her parents were already tired of talking and had become so fed of Jaden's unruly lifestyle. She's never behaved like royalty - never. Instead, she prefered living on the streets and doing crazy things. Her step mothers and sisters hated her as well due to the shame she often brought to the family. And that was because, most of the time, people were always at the palace to lay complaints about Kaylan. When the King tried all he could but couldn't change his daughter, he decided to make a drastic decision. He decided to marry her off to the Master and also known as the beast - Master Xander. Master Xander was the ruler of the popular Xander community. He was fierce, cold evil and heartless - so many people believed. He had no time for the pleasures of life as all he thinks about was "war". He was one of the most skillful in sword fights and Xander could fight a hundred men alone and come out victorious - that was just how powerful he was. If Xander wasn't in a battle field, he was in the training ground. If Xander wasn't killing someone, he was definitely watching a person get punished. That was his daily routine. That was the only pleasure he enjoyed. People feared and respected him so much. They worshipped the ground he stepped on. Even when he was wrong, nobody dared to correct him or say a word to him. Though, he wasn't a King but just a Master of a community, people felt he was more powerful than 10 Kings put together. He's been married to two ladies previously, but they all ended up dead - due to Unknown reasons. When Kaylan discovers her father was marrying her off to the beast, she couldn't help but panic. For the first time in her life, she'd promised to change and become more of a princess, but it was too late as King Moreh had already made up his mind. Kaylan's mother begged him to reconsider, fearing her daughter might never come back alive, but the King still wouldn't change his mind. Who would want to get married to such a man? A man who's never smiled, A man who kills without a second thought. And a man who's lost 2 wives mysteriously. Kaylan felt her case would be like that of his other two wives and she might die as soon as she arrives. Definitely, it was a bad idea for someone as crazy as Kaylan to become the Master's third wife. * *

The moon hung heavy in the night sky, casting shadows as sharp as the blade pressed to Elara’s throat. She felt Sebastian's steady heartbeat against her back, a rare calm in the chaos that had become their lives. "If you let go, you're a fool," she whispered, her voice both a challenge and a plea. "And if I don’t, you’ll kill me." Sebastian’s voice was cold steel, but his eyes betrayed a storm. Behind them, Amara’s deep gray eyes scanned the surrounding woods, her fire element glowing faintly in her palms, a warning that the danger was far from over. Ronan stood silently, his vampire heritage adding a layer of tension to the already charged air. Alden, ever the mischief maker, leaned casually against a tree, though his watchful gaze was sharp. His hands were always ready to heal, but there was something in the air tonight that even he couldn’t fix. In a realm where secrets run thicker than blood and magic is as deadly as it is beautiful, Elara thought she knew where she stood. But her world unravels when she’s thrown into a deadly game of alliances and betrayals, her only allies a cursed warrior with eyes like midnight and a past as twisted as her own, a sage whose magic burns with hidden fire, a vampire whose silence holds more than a thousand words, and a healer with a knack for finding trouble. The ancient forces they once feared are waking, and Elara must choose: trust Sebastian, the man who swore never to love again, or face a fate worse than death. With every spell cast, every blade drawn, and every secret unearthed, they uncover truths that shake their beliefs, reveal buried loyalties, and ignite desires neither of them can control. They’re bound together by fate, but it may be the same fate that tears them apart. Because in this world, love can be a weapon, trust is the most dangerous choice of all, and power is a price none of them can afford. Their story isn’t just one of survival. It’s a dance with destiny—one that could shatter them, or save the realm. ---
