But what happens when the hand that offers her the most comfort is not the hand meant to take hers in marriage? Celeste finds herself drawn to Avond Brightwell, Tiel’s older brother, who is entirely forbidden. Someone who knows better... and yet... Besides, why should she be loyal to Tiel when his heart already belongs to someone else? Someone with magenta eyes and silver hair, a moonlight compared to her black coal.

Forced into a marriage that neither of them wanted, one less so than the other, they now have to navigate their new lives as a couple.

​"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.

It started when a transmigrator woke up in the body of Jasmine Maxwell, the villainess who forced Stephan into marriage, cheated with his brother, and shattered their family.

But she refuses to grovel, and instead decides to use her own way to do things even though it is going against the system. Will she beg for forgiveness… or burn the whole script down?

**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.

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.

A marriage contract lasting three years, a marriage in name only, as if they were strangers. To provide for her child, she went out to work in a large corporation, only to find her boss was actually her contract husband... "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude. I chose the company because the salary was high enough." The man flipped through the resume in his hand and asked casually, “Why did you take a year off from university when you were 19?” “I, when I was a freshman... something happened in my family.” “Is that so? Then why do you have a scar on your lower abdomen?” “I had appendectomy...” His gaze was inscrutable. ...... After a three-year marriage, she signed the divorce agreement with a heavy heart. She turned and walked away with dignity and poise, like a splash of light ink. But why did this man keep pursuing her?

Jinhai brushed a stray strand of hair from her face, his fingers trembling. “Lily,” he whispered, desperately. “I want you.” Her body betrayed her, arching toward him even as her mind screamed no. “Jinhai…” she breathed, barely above a whisper. “We can’t.” He gave a small, almost broken laugh. “Then tell me you dont want this.” But she didn’t. Her silence was his permission. Jinhai cupped her face, his thumb brushing the corner of her mouth, his eyes drinking her in with such intensity that Lily squirmed in bed. “Do you even know what you do to me?” he murmured. “I’ve tried to forget you, Lily. God knows I’ve tried. But every time I see you—every time you look at me with those eyes— I forget everything.” His hand slid up her camisole, cupping her breast, his hands shaking. “Jinhai…” she whispered again, her voice trembling this time—from the sheer force of wanting. This had been the moment she had been dreaming about for a shameful, achingly long time. Deep down, she already knew. She was falling for the one man she could never have. ---------------------------- "It was just for show... until he kissed me like he meant it."

Jinhai can’t stop craving the very woman he’s sworn to use, and Lily can’t tell where the lie ends and the truth begins.

Three years ago, the Zahryssar Empire saved the Northern Kingdom of Thalryn from absolute annihilation. In gratitude—and desperation—Duke Veyrhold of Thalryn swore a vow to the Coiled Throne: he would send a bride to the Serpent Emperor. But gratitude soon turned to fear. The ruler of Zahryssar, Zeramet Karash, Prime Alpha of a bloodline, was rumored to be a monster—the Serpent King who wiped out his own bloodline, a ruler no consort had ever survived, and a sovereign who could erase a person’s very identity. No omega stepped forward and the promise remained unfulfilled. Until Zahryssar demanded payment. “If I could save your kingdom,” the Emperor declared, “I can erase it just as easily.” With war threatening once more and innocent lives at stake, the Duke made a final choice to send his own omega daughter—only to be refused by her; she chose death over being sent to a monster. And then, his son stepped forward. Levin Veyrhold, Alpha heir of House Veyrhold—warrior, future heir of Veyrhold—offered himself instead. No Omega could survive the Serpent Emperor… but perhaps an Alpha could. In a world where vows are law, power is biology, and love is the most dangerous defiance of all, can Levin Veyrhold survive the serpent emperor?

“Where did you go?” He questioned, not bothering to adjust his unbuttoned shirt. I had run away but here I was coming to apologize for my actions. “You think you can come and go as you please?” His fingers pressed against my cheeks, firm but not painful, forcing me to meet his gaze. “No, I—I,” I stammered, but before I could finish, his lips almost grazing mine, he interrupted, his tone ice-cold. “You will go home this instant,” he spoke, his face dark. “And you'll stay there till I get back,” he barked out his orders, his eyes boring into mine. “Who do you think you are to order me around,” I thought to respond but my lips wouldn’t make a sound. I didn't fight back. I couldn’t. Without another word, I turned and walked away, his gaze searing into my back. ~~~~~~~~~~ After a steamy night with a sexy stranger, Elena finds out she is pregnant.
