After years of longing, Mu Chenyan was finally going to marry the man of her dreams — Yuan Xuan. However, on her wedding day, the tragic death of Shu Qinger, her well-known romantic competitor led to Mu Chenyan's prison sentence. Two years later, Mu Chenyan was released from prison due to insufficient evidence, but she ended in another “prison” — the Yuan household. However, she was no longer the naive girl who would let anyone have their way with her... Her days in the prison had left their marks and a passion for revenge was now ignited in her. Even as Yuan Xuan tried to regain her love, she has now built a wall to guard her heart, cutting off all advances from him. The question remains — who killed Shu Qinger? Who are the people on her side, and those who are on the devil's? Love and hate intertwined, with Yuan Xuan's love and protectiveness over Mu Chenyan remaining unchanged...

[COMPLETED] "This world is truly...boring." The Mage King, overthrown and killed by his own people, escaped via one last spell. Reincarnated in the body of a weak baby, he sets off to conquer the world once more. Except somehow, he has been reincarnated into a completely different world. A world with no mages...aside from him. What is the point in ruling such a boring world? He might as well reincarnate again. Until the TV catches his eye, and he sees a certain animation from a far east Asian country... Maybe...maybe I can do something here. Maybe in this world without mages, a mage is what is needed to spice things up a little. Maybe this boring world needs...a Demon Lord to rule it from the shadows. If this world isn't interesting enough, then I'll force it to change with my own hands! "A Demon Lord needs henchmen, so I will create my own!" "I also Heroes to fight against, so let's make those as well!" "Hmmmm...I like System novels, let's give a Hero a Gamer system!" "I also like superheroes and romances, let's create some superheroes and make them fall in love!" "What's this? A thriller? Hmmm...maybe I can make something like this too..." Lots of LGBT issues in here. If you can't handle gay, this is probably not your story Cover was drawn by @yikes-psychic-pen, go check her out at https://yikes-psychic-pen.tumblr.com/

A tragedy struck the Wenceslas family 22 years ago. A noble family no one would fail to recognize throughout the country. They owned wealth that would not run out to be inherited through generations. To save the next heir, the oldest nobleman of Wenceslas set a strategy for years. He prepared a wife for his grandson. The only heir who suffered from a strange disease. By promising him abundant wealth, Lesmana, the very loyal aide, was given the most non-sense and fist-tight agreement to marry off one of his daughters to the heir. The purpose was for a guinea pig and an experiment in seeking the cure of their last heir. The experiment had to be a success nor the family would be left without any descendants at all. “Hendra, stop it! You hurt my lips!”. The man with blue eyes looked drowned, puzzled. His mind seemed wandering. “Don't come close...! Aruna was trying to grab anything she could reach. She grasped goose feathers scattered on the white sheet and threw them to that devil with an angelic face who was moving slowly to her. “Hendra, you are scary!” “Yiu scare me!” “Hendra!!” “argh, let me go!” He had turned into a blue-eyed devil, staring at her and pushing her body. That girl fell on that super king-sized bed on her face, the bed looked so spacious with white sheets and goose feathers here and there. While he was closing his satanic eyes, he was begging for something ... Could Aruna’s wish to become a widow and return to her house happened over time, or would her heart melt for the CEO?
