The Cage of the Heartless Wolf

Aanya Lu is a simple, hardworking girl who believes talent and honesty can change fate. She has no idea that her past is soaked in blood—and that her future is walking straight into danger. When she joins one of Shenzhen’s most powerful companies, she catches the attention of Zain Yan—a flawless CEO in the eyes of the world, but a ruthless and broken man behind closed doors. Zain gives Aanya an important project, mentors her, and pulls her closer to him. To Aanya, he is strict but fair. To Zain, she is nothing but a tool. Years ago, Zain lost his mother and younger sister on a blood-soaked night. The man responsible was Lu Kang—Aanya’s beloved uncle, the man she trusted like family. Zain plans to use Aanya to destroy Lu Kang completely. But fate turns cruel. Aanya’s intelligence and hidden strength attract the attention of the underworld’s most feared ruler—the Dragon King. Seeing her as a future threat, he orders her death. For the first time, Zain’s perfect plan collapses. The girl he meant to sacrifice becomes the girl he risks his life to protect. Surrounded by bullets, betrayal, and blood, Zain makes a shocking move— A forced contract marriage. In front of the world—and in front of Lu Kang— Zain declares Aanya as his wife. Now Aanya is trapped in a marriage she never chose, tied to a man full of secrets, and standing at the center of a war she doesn’t understand. Is she merely a pawn in Zain’s revenge? Or the only weakness of the Heartless Wolf? As buried truths rise, as the connection between the Dragon King and Lu Kang is revealed, and as Aanya uncovers why Zain really chose her— It won’t just be love or trust that breaks… but the very cage imprisoning a wounded heart.

Blackmail and roses

We were too close. I knew we were too close, but neither of us moved. The office was dark except for the glow of our laptops. It was past midnight. We'd been working for hours, building the case, connecting pieces, and somewhere along the way we'd ended up on the same side of the desk. Shoulders almost touching. Close enough that I could smell his cologne. "This is a bad idea," I whispered. "I know." "We agreed, Fake engagement. Professional. No complications." "I remember." His eyes dropped to my mouth, lingered there. "Doesn't change the fact that I want to kiss you." My breath caught. "Roman..." "Tell me you don't want it too." His voice was rough, low. "Tell me I'm reading this wrong and I'll move. I'll go back to my side of the desk and we'll pretend this never happened." I should have said it. Should have lied. But I was so tired of lying. "I can't," I whispered. "Can't what?" "Tell you that you're wrong." Something flashed in his eyes—dark, hungry. He leaned in slowly, giving me time to pull away. I didn't. Journalist Amara Reyes has spent sixteen years chasing the truth about her father's death. Heart attack, they said. Case closed. Everyone moved on ,everyone except Amara.

Are Beast Nobles Supposed to Be This Lewd?

In the middle of the castle garden stood a table prepared for an elegant tea, draped in white lace, set with blue-and-white porcelain, tiered trays of pastel pastries, and crystal cups releasing the mingled scents of roses and spiced leaves in the warm afternoon air. And in the midst of this carefully arranged ensemble lay Mirabelle Luchs. Her wild curls were spread across plates and among the tempting desserts. Her dress had been pushed up to her hips, her legs bent and braced against the edge of the table, trembling. Elegant male hands pressed them farther apart while she desperately tried to close them. Between her legs was the head of a man. His pointed fox ears twitched with amusement as his tongue moved over her again and again. Desperately, she grasped his copper-colored hair—whether to stop him or to hold on, she no longer knew. Another shudder ran through her, and a purr mingled with the birds’ song. While he savored his dessert with pleasure, Mirabelle wondered how it had ever come to this. ---- Mirabelle Luchs wakes up in a world that should not exist. A feudal beast kingdom ruled by instinct, hierarchy, and conquest. A world where aristocracy is carved into bloodlines and women like her are used to secure peace after defeat. She inhabits the body of an unmarried duchess from the losing side of a brutal war. Sheltered until now. Politically valuable. Offered by treaty to powerful beast nobles from the victorious realm. Men who do not hide their expectations, their presence, or their hunger. Mirabelle is unprepared for medieval court life, for beast instincts worn openly, for how closely power and desire intertwine in this world. But she refuses to remain a passive prize. With a modern mind and a sharp sense for social dynamics, Mirabelle begins to turn the rules against those who seek to control her. Provocation becomes a choice. Submission a performance. A mature reverse harem fantasy set in a medieval beast world, featuring political marriages, power games, and a female lead who refuses to be ruled quietly.
