A Touch of Shadow: The Duke's Obsession

yoojee
[Obsessive ML, Historical Romance] Read this if you like old-fashioned historical romance novels you found in your mother's library. On the night meant to seal her fate in silk and candlelight, Caelith Emberlyn discovers her new husband cheating on her with her own cousin. Before the humiliation can swallow her whole, another man steps out of the shadows—dangerous, powerful, and far more terrifying than heartbreak. He is the feared Commander of the Shadow Imperial Guard, a man whose name alone stills the court and stains the capital with silenced dread. Where others see a cold enforcer of the throne, he sees only her—wronged, furious, and far stronger than she appears. And he offers her a choice. Stay. What her husband failed to give—loyalty, devotion, power—he vows to place in her hands in his stead. But this is no gentle rescue. Their alliance begins in secrets and smolders in the dark, a forbidden affair that could shatter reputations and topple dynasties. He is ruthless in war and relentless in love, determined to claim not only her presence at his side but the guarded heart she refuses to yield. Meanwhile, her repentant husband returns with soft words and tender promises, swearing to cherish her forever. Yet regret comes too late in a world where power is currency and affection is a battlefield. Caught between a contrite prince of light and a possessive shadow king who would burn the world to keep her, she must decide: Will she return to the safety of a love that broke her… Or step into the fire of a devotion fierce enough to consume them both?

One Piece: Saving Hancock with the Batto Batto no Mi

In the swirling currents of time and fate, one soul was cast into a world it was never meant to be in. Karl D. Sephiroth-a name unknown to history, yet one that would soon shake the very foundations of the world. He is not a pirate. Nor a marine. He is a time traveler-an outsider who gained the Batto Batto no Mi Devil Fruit at the wrong time... and in the wrong place. With a power that blurs the line between life and death, Sephiroth seeks only one thing: A peaceful and beautiful life in this chaotic and disordered world of One Piece. But this world does not allow anyone to live in peace so easily. Position? Justice and evil? "The winner is the king... and the loser is just a bandit." In these seas, it is not principles that shape history-but power. Justice and evil are mere concepts... privileges that belong to the victors. And Sephiroth? He has no problem being called a hero, as long as he is the one who wins. Those who have witnessed his existence say: Boa Hancock, Pirate Empress: "Sephiroth... as long as you wish, I will do anything for you!" Kozuki Hiyori, Princess of Wano: "For the sake of our master, Brother Momonosuke... I beg you, die!" Sengoku, the Legendary Admiral: "I could never tell if Sephiroth is a righteous man... or not." Monkey D. Dragon, Leader of the Revolutionaries: "Friend... could you help me revise the revolutionary program of this world?" Sora Cyborg, Supreme Commander of the World Government: "This man... Sephiroth... he is truly insufferable!" And so... begins the story of a man who refuses to follow the tide. A victor who rewrites the meaning of 'justice' with his own hands.
