The wolf king was meant for me
Reads
“You are not my princess—but you are my destiny.” When Liliana, a common-born herbalist, is forced onto the royal marriage bed, she wants only one answer: Why does her blood glow upon an ancient parchment—and why must she wed the tyrant king rumored to turn into a wolf beneath the full moon? Arthas Wolfgang, the “Cursed King” of the Seven Northern Realms, needs the Silver Moon bloodline to suppress the lycanthropic curse gnawing at his very bones. And Liliana—the girl who bears an uncanny resemblance to the vanished princess—is his only hope. A marriage of necessity. A curse sealed in blood. On their wedding night, he slices open their palms: “From this moment on, your life is bound to mine. If I die, you die.” She counters, “And if I run?” He smiles, locking silver manacles around her wrists: “Then try, my dear. Every wall of this castle obeys me. Every shadow is my eye.” But she is no obedient lamb. When a silver arrow flies toward her heart, he shields her with his body, blood staining his ceremonial robes. “Now do you understand?” he whispers. “In this golden prison, only I decide how you live—or how you die.” And when the full moon drives him into savage madness, only her voice can pull him back from the abyss. He kneels before her, golden beast-eyes reflecting her face: “Who are you… really?” Secrets coil around the truth like thorns: • Why did her mother’s humble herb shop conceal a royal bloodline chart? • Why did the true princess vanish sixteen years ago without a trace? • Why do whispers in the dark murmur,“She won’t survive the next full moon”? More dangerous still is the slow loss of control over the heart. He teaches her swordplay—yet guides her blade from behind, breath burning against her ear: “Like this, my queen.” She studies court etiquette—he corrects every movement, fingers brushing her waist: “No… wrong. Tonight, my study. Private lessons.” When assassination becomes routine, and sweet words may be deadlier than poison, Liliana realizes the greatest threat is not palace intrigue, but her own heart, traitorously beating for him. And Arthas faces a crueler choice still: Bind her forever with the contract—or set her free, even if it means sinking alone into the curse’s eternal darkness. “Choose me,” he growls on a full-moon night, pinning her to the wall, fangs grazing her throat. “Even if you are poison—I will drink you willingly.” The Silver Moon will rise. The Wolf King is destined to fall. This is a war waged in the name of love—where they are each other’s shield, and each other’s sharpest blade.

Proud Demon Consort — The Demon King, Step Aside
Reads
She was Bai Zhiyue, the most exalted princess of the Divine Realm—born with a sacred spirit, her cultivation unrivaled across the Three Realms. Yet on the day of her grand wedding, crimson bridal silk turned into blood-soaked robes. The fiancé she loved, An Yang Motian, gentle as water, drove the Godslaying Sword through her heart with his own hands. The sister she trusted as kin, Fei Ruo’er, forced a disfiguring poison down her throat. A thousand years of warmth proved to be nothing but a meticulously crafted vendetta; her divine father and empress mother had long since perished within this treacherous plot. “If there is a next life, I will never trust anyone again.” In utter despair, she detonated the demonic power sealed within her body, wagering the annihilation of her soul to drag her enemies into the abyss with her. On the night of the Blood Moon, a hundred years later, ominous signs descended upon the world. Her soul, unextinguished, awakened on the Brightmoon Continent—a land where the strong reign supreme. The former foremost princess of the Divine Realm was reborn as a lowly mortal of another world. Yet the inky black lotus mark upon her brow and her reborn soul concealed hatred and power that had never truly faded. When she returns to the Hayue Mountains in a mortal body, facing formidable cultivators, ferocious demonic beasts, and a world-shaking treasure on the brink of emergence, the gears of fate begin to turn once more. In this life, she will no longer believe in Heaven, nor in gods—only in the sword she wields. Those who betrayed her, harmed her, and cast her aside will pay a thousandfold price. “The Demon King? Step aside as well. This time, I will define the rules myself.” This is a tale of supreme downfall and rebirth through nirvana—of how a former goddess rises again from the mortal dust, reclaiming the pinnacle with unyielding pride, and forcing all demons to bow at her feet.

Love Between Ashes and Starlight
Reads
On a battlefield where time itself teeters on the brink of collapse, Captain Jack Miller of the ruthless Temporal Tactical Corps encounters Allison Carter, a frontline physician gifted with the rare ability of “temporal perception.” A desperate rescue mission triggers an unforeseen deep-binding of their time fields, causing their memories and emotions to intertwine. Upon returning to New York, they discover that the world is being ravaged by a global “temporal tsunami,” its source a catastrophic “time singularity” born from the accumulated trauma of war. Venturing into the heart of the temporal maelstrom—Kalia—they uncover a startling truth: time has become inflamed by unbearable suffering. Rather than confronting it with weapons, they anchor themselves to one another, using their unwavering love as resonance and stabilizing force, soothing the feral temporal embryo and transforming it into the “Child of Time,” a being capable of healing the world. Yet the gravest threat emerges from the “Time Pruners”—an ancient force that deems human emotion a pathological flaw and seeks to erase all traces of time itself. To oppose them, Jack and Allison must unite with other souls who “shine in the darkness,” igniting simultaneous emotional imprints of love, courage, and sacrifice across seven global sites of trauma. Only through the purest radiance of humanity can they overcome the cold instrument of absolute reason. This is a story about mending the wounds of time—and a declaration that love is the highest form of technology. Amid shattered timelines, two warriors, through utterly different paths—his protection and her healing—together compose an epic romance that saves reality, and in doing so, saves one another.

When I Stole My Ex's Grammy--And Build My Own Throne
Reads
At seventeen, she was a freckled misfit hidden in a dusty Montana attic, cradling a battered guitar and writing songs no one ever heard. At thirty-two, she stood at the center of the Grammy stage, three golden phonographs in her hands, speaking to the eyes of the world: “Tonight, I stole my ex-boyfriend’s Grammy — with music, not with tears.” Yet this is not a story of revenge. This is Layla Mason’s fifteen-year war: A war against poverty — when her mother sold their home to keep her dream alive. A war against betrayal — when a star producer plagiarized her work. A war against love — where thirteen men taught her ambition, compromise, manipulation, and solitude. And finally, a war against herself — because after becoming a superstar, a wife, and a mother, she realized that the hardest victory was reclaiming the girl who once wrote songs in the dark. Thirteen men. Thirteen lessons. One road crowned with thorns. From washing dishes in Nashville to ruling the global pop world, the most vital truth she learned was this: A real legend is not defined by whom you conquer, but by who you ultimately become. When the world remembers whom she loved, she chooses instead to make them remember who she is. How did she transform from “the abandoned small-town girl” into the woman who made her ex-lover blanch in the front row? How did thirteen utterly different relationships temper her into a final queen? When her mother lay dying, her career collapsed, and love became a cage — what line could she never cross? This is not a romance. It is the epic of a woman who forged heartbreak into music, and who, after every mirror shattered, finally recognized her own face.
