I will be the perfect wife this time

​"Dear Father, you taught me how to be a monster. It is only fair that you are the one to taste my monstrosity." ​Olivia Luceron was the perfect tool for her father, the Duke of Tharon. For years, she played the role of the devoted daughter, acting as a spy within her own marriage to dismantle her husband’s power and surrender his secrets. Her reward for such loyalty? A cold dungeon, a mutilated body, and a walk of shame through the streets of the Imperial Capital. ​She died hating the man she once worshipped, and grieving for the husband she had systematically destroyed. Duke Matthias—the man she treated with nothing but icy indifference—was the only one who stayed faithful to her until his final breath. ​But death was not the end. ​When Olivia opens her eyes, she finds herself back in time, exactly one year before her tragic end. Her platinum hair is unblemished, her skin is free of scars, and the husband she betrayed stands before her once again—with those same cold eyes, devoid of any warmth. ​In this life, Olivia seeks neither forgiveness nor love; she has long since lost faith in both. She has only one purpose: to play the "Perfect Wife" to atone for her sins, while systematically annihilating the Tharon bloodline—the very lineage that turned her into a monster before discarding her. ​She will wear the mask of ice the world expects to hide a heart of fire. But as she navigates a world of lethal poisons and imperial intrigue, she realizes that the silent Duke she once ignored hides a truth far more deadly than the House of Tharon itself. ​The hunt has begun. And this time, Olivia is no longer the prey—she is the hunter.

Sunchaser’s Liberation

Growing up, Jurgen carried an unyielding hatred that he could not understand or explain. It stayed with him through his early years as a constant pressure, manifesting as a persistent need to punish something or someone, though nothing ever seemed sufficient to match what he felt. Over time, this unresolved weight pushed him to blame the world itself, especially as he moved through repeated hardships that forced him to grow stronger both in ability and in his desire for power. Alongside this, Jurgen lived with an illness that affected his health and continuously interfered with his journey, adding another layer of strain to his existence and shaping the way he moved through the world. As he matured, Jurgen drifted away from any sense of conventional morality and eventually became a rogue criminal. He was cold, calculated, and highly manipulative, acting without hesitation when it benefited him directly. Whether through deception or killing, he did not restrain himself. He was never the type to act as a hero or place himself in sacrifice for others; in situations of survival, he would always choose himself without hesitation, even if it meant cutting off any path that allowed others to advance. In time, Jurgen would grow greatly in the power he had been pursuing and uncover the true source of his hatred as well as his history. However, understanding it did not alter his direction. Instead, he chose to continue forward on the same path, no longer driven by ignorance but by conscious intent. From that point onward, he evolved beyond a mere criminal into something far more absolute, becoming a tyrannical existence shaped by awareness, conviction, and the refusal to turn back…
