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.

The_Vampire_Slayer

[18+ | Mature Content | Dark Romance | Supernatural] I was trained to be the silent end of his kind. Nineteen years spent learning how to find a pulse, how to drive the silver deep, and how to stay cold when the monsters screamed. Then I met Julian Vane. He didn’t scream. He laughed. He caught my blade mid-air and tasted my blood like it was the finest vintage in his cellar. Now, I’m no longer his assassin—I’m his tether. A "Soul-Bind" has linked our heartbeats, turning my hatred into a dark, visceral hunger and his predatory instincts into a possessiveness that borders on madness. The Order calls me a traitor. The Vampire Council calls me an abomination. But as ancient secrets wake to reclaim the night, I’m the only thing standing between the man I’m supposed to kill and the apocalypse he’s destined to start. My name is Sienna. I am the Vampire Slayer. And I am hopelessly, violently bound to the King of the Monsters. ~★~ Excerpt: The steam from the shower still clung to my skin, the white towel wrapped precariously around my chest as I stepped into the bedroom. I froze. Julian was there. He was leaning against the bedpost, shirtless, the flickering firelight dancing over the lean, lethal muscles of his torso. His silver hair was tousled, and his eyes—usually a calculated gray—were burning with a dark, predatory crimson. "You’re late for your lesson, Sienna," he murmured, his voice a low vibration that seemed to settle right in the pit of my stomach. "I didn't think you'd be waiting in my room," I breathed, clutching the edge of the towel. "Get out, Julian." In a blur of supernatural speed, he was in front of me. His hand hit the wall beside my head, pinning me against the cold stone. The scent of him—spiced cedar and something ancient—overwhelmed my senses. "I don't take orders from my 'claimed,' little Slayer," he whispered, his lips grazing the sensitive column of my neck. I let out a jagged gasp, my head falling back against the wall. "Your pulse is racing. Is that the fear I taught you? Or the hunger I woke up?" "I hate you," I croaked, even as my body betrayed me, arching toward his cold skin. "Then why are you trembling under my touch?" His hand slid down, his fingers catching the knot of the towel. He didn't pull it. He just waited, his lips moving from my neck to the corner of my mouth. "Julian..." I moaned. "Say it," he growled against my lips. "Tell me you want the monster." I didn't answer with words. I pulled him closer, my hands sliding over the hard planes of his chest. As his mouth crashed onto mine in a kiss that tasted of war and desperation, the towel gave way, pooling at my feet. "There," he whispered against my mouth, his breath hitching as he felt the raw heat of me. "Now we start the real lesson." A/N: This book is a work of fiction intended for adult audiences. It explores dark themes, supernatural power dynamics, and intense romantic tension. Disclaimer: This story contains mature themes, explicit content, and high-tension scenarios.

Hidden Heartbeat: The 98% Variable

At Shenghua Academy, the "Seven Stars" were legends. They were the elite 90% club—a mischievous squad of toppers who ruled the classrooms and the sports fields. At the center of this constellation were two rivals: Xiao Xing, the fierce "Karate Princess" and coding prodigy, and Li Yan, the cold, analytical "Chess Prince" who viewed the world in binary. For six years, Xiao Xing hid a variable in her heart that no logic could solve: a deep, unrequited crush on the boy who fought her for every Class President seat. On the night of their graduation—after tying for the top rank with a staggering 98.2%—Xiao Xing finally made her move. The result? A brutal system crash. Li Yan rejected her with cold, clinical precision, calling her feelings "desperate" and "illogical." The Seven Stars scattered across the country, the group chat went silent, and the "98.2% Equation" was left unsolved. Six Years Later. Xiao Xing is now a high-stakes Security Architect, and Li Yan is the genius CEO of her biggest corporate rival. When a massive digital conspiracy threatens to delete their shared history and target their families, the "Seven Stars" must reunite for their most dangerous mission yet. Between secret GitHub comments, high-speed chases, and "Love Contracts" hidden in metadata, Li Yan is no longer running from the truth. But as a new rival, the warm and charming Hao Ran, enters the frame, the Chess Prince realizes that winning Xiao Xing back won't be as easy as a 90% logic gate. In a world of corporate sabotage and "Zero-Day" heartbreaks, can two rivals finally bridge the distance between their seats in the library? Or was their 98.2% tie the closest they were ever meant to be?

Surviving A Novel I Don't Remember: A Tutor's Guide To Staying Alive

"If I can just stay under the radar, I might survive the final chapter." Kim Jowoon woke up in a novel world as the illegitimate fourth son of a marquis, Julian Von Astrea, and it looked like every single character hated him. It was a world where everyone looked like a protagonist—shining eyes, tragic backstories, destiny practically dripping off them. Everyone except him. He didn't even get a script. Then the Affection System popped up and crushed his hopes in one clean line of text: every so-called “hero” in the capital had a solid 0% interest in his continued existence. Naturally, Julian did the most reasonable thing possible—he ran. Straight into the safest job he could think of: tutoring the young son of the Empire's most reclusive (and famously cold) Duke. The plan was foolproof. Win over the kid, stay invisible, collect a fat paycheck, and live long enough to die of old age instead of plot relevance. It didn't go smoothly at first. The child never spoke, the Duke barely appeared, and Julian briefly wondered if he'd chosen the wrong kind of death. But somehow… it worked. The Duke's son quickly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm and fun moments, and silence turned into trust. And even stranger, the Duke's affection level didn't just rise—it skyrocketed into something Julian absolutely had not planned for. For the first time since transmigrating, he felt safe. Then the Emperor began to interfere, so much that he became a madman to Julian. Julian thought he could live quietly. Well... He thought wrong.

Blood Oath Seduction: Symptoms of Murder

“Are you afraid of me?” Drogo voice was quiet but something underneath it was wrong. He was calm. Too calm — Not after what he had just done with his bare hands... Karen’s lips quivered violently, but her throat refused to open. No sound escaped. The metallic scent of blood reached her nose as he climbed onto the bed, the mattress dipping under his weight. “You don’t have to be scared, Schatzi” Drogo murmured in a soft tone, tilting his head as he studied her paralysis with unsettling interest. “You’re not lying to me.” His jaw tightened faintly. “They lie,” he whispered with a gleam in his eyes. A gleam she had never seen before. Drogo added, “Every single one of them lied. They always do...” He leaned closer. “But you…” His lips curved. “You would never lie to me, Schatzi.” The sound of the German pet name he'd given her now felt heavier in her chest. Karen wanted to shake her head, to deny whatever twisted certainty he had built around her. Her body remained numb. Drogo then raised his hand, blood dripping from his fingertips onto the sheets. His fingers touched her cheek, still warm. He then dragged them slowly across her skin, leaving a dark red streak as though marking her. “You’re not scared of me…” he decided softly, almost reverently. “Only liars are scared of me.” He leaned down and pressed his blood-smeared lips to her forehead. “I know you’ll never lie to me,” he whispered against her skin. He smiled from ear to ear. “That’s why I love you.” ● ● ● Life isn't suppose to be that hard... Quite straightforward, actually. After all, Karen had just one mission. Get close enough to Drogo Vetter and extract valuable information from him — How he ended up between her legs is irrelevant. But that's not a major problem, it doesn't still affect the main mission. It's just one of those things people do to pass time and feel pleasure... What's the worse that could happen? ... Aside from Drogo being assigned as her next target. Shit. DAILY UPDATE.

The problem is finding a Striker to pair with. In comes Lucien Saint-James, the captain of the third division and a high-class Striker with whom he has the highest compatibility.

Now, Kenneth faces a dilemma. If he ever hopes to make it out of this academy alive and realize the dreams of the original Kenneth, he will have to suck up his pride and learn to hide his urges if he wants to make it out in one piece. Oh, and did he mention he had to deal with monsters and mystical beasts too?! ****************************************** Excerpt: “Kiss me.” Kenneth blinked. “What—“ “You heard me. Do it. Now.” Anger flashed in his eyes yet his body moved before his brain could tell him to stop. He reached for the Striker and their lips met. Kenneth poured his energy into Lucien, filling the barren pit inside his mind, giving him enough juice to keep going. The two pulled away, and Lucien’s steely eyes met his, holding him in place. “You always look like you hate anchoring me, but then you get that blissful look on your face that screams ‘I want more’. It’s cute.” Kenneth felt an unbearable urge to slap the smug smile off his face. But since now wasn’t the time to commit acts of violence against his pair. He held himself back. He would deal with him properly later. “Eat shit, captain.” Was all he said before sending him off. ****** A guideverse story with a little twist, hot and cold romance with a whole lot of slow burn (emphasis on burn because the MC refuses to admit his feelings, the stubborn fool).
