The Duke's Unwanted Second Wife

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

Dual Cultivator: Level Up By Sleeping With Beauties

[Content warning: Expect explicit sexual content] Kael Ashvane is the Runeward Chapter's least-regarded initiate — a foundling with no recognized elemental root, tolerated only because his guardian Lady Magister Isara pulled the strings to keep him enrolled. His cultivation is weak. His constructs backfire. His self-styled epithet, "the Little Saint-Lord," is a joke. His body is not. Born with the Primal Vigour Constitution — an innate anomaly that generates Virilic Essence of a purity no orthodox cultivator can match — Kael is precisely what the Ars Vitae demands: a natural reservoir, inexhaustible and potent. When the Chapter's mission collapses into the undead nightmare of the Dread Mire, it is not his fire techniques that first save him. It is Selene Voss, Third Soror of the Chapter, whose Ars Vitae bond with Kael begins in coercion and quietly becomes something neither of them intended. Her Bashful Bloom constitution makes their sessions unlike anything in the cultivation manuals — and the power she channels into him makes him faster, sharper, more dangerous than his grade has any right to explain. With Ars Vitae accelerating his cultivation far beyond what his official grade suggests, Kael begins winning engagements he has no business surviving: destroying Bone Towers with siege artillery he built himself, flooding the Bone Warren to collapse an undead campaign that had broken standing armies, forcing a divine-court prince to retreat. His Primal Vigour Constitution draws something extraordinary at climax — the Dracoiling, a phenomenon that blazes dragon-veins across his flesh and marks him as something the cultivation manuals do not have a category for.

D: Reincarnated as a Poison Dragon, Sacrificing Dugu Yan at the Star

Yu Nan was reborn into the Douluo Continent, becoming the 190,000-year-old soul beast, the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King, who had slumbered in the Sunset Forest for a hundred years. Before she could even stretch and take control of this body, a 200,000-year-old tribulation lightning bolt struck down upon her! She barely survived, evolving into a poisonous dragon, but was left severely injured and on the verge of death. Just then, Gu Bo arrived with Dugu Yan to hunt souls! Run? Her body was charred black, unable to move, and she'd be instantly killed. Fight? With only one drop of health left, facing Dugu Bo was certain death! "I'm going to die anyway, so let's gamble big! I'll help Dugu Yan become a god, and I can achieve immortality too!" "Want a soul bone? No problem! I'll sacrifice myself!" Dugu Yan thought she had struck gold, having the 200,000-year-old poisonous dragon willingly sacrifice himself. She gained a 200,000-year-old soul ring and a spine bone for free, and her martial soul evolved, her soul power jumping seven levels. But she was horrified to discover that her body had developed its own thoughts. "This body is a bit delicate, but that snake-like waist is really powerful when it twists." "It's just that the poison in your meridians is too mixed; I'll have to help you sort it out." Dugu Yan collapsed: "Didn't you already become a soul ring? Why can you control me?" Yu Nan: "Never mind why, just listen to me!" From then on, in public, she was a bewitching and shrewish beauty; in private, she had to fight a cunning and scheming soul for control of her body. "That brat Yu Tianheng is putting on a cool act again? Don't move, let me electrocute him!" "Tang San wants to use antidote to fool your grandpa? Come on, let's teach him what the ancestor of all poisons is like!" Dugu Yan: "Shut up!!!"
