“What are you looking at?” She asked noticing him staring at her as his hands wouldn’t let go of her arms. “Didn't you want to slice my neck? I am unarmed, do as you please” He stared at her for long before throwing away his sword and he took a step backward. His heart was drumming and his eyes refused to leave her neck. Her wheatish skin appeared golden under the sunlight like a blooming orange daylily that he knew wouldn’t be there for long. “Apologies, your highness.” He said those words, took a sharp breath, and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly. She was surprised but a smile crept on her lips. “Apologize only if you regret doing this.” She said as she held onto him just as tightly. ********** Jwala Chitra Bhanu, the queen of Maythene and former commander-in-chief of Devdurg has a big army at her disposal, she is respected and loved by her people and army.

“Revenge is a truly tenacious thing, and once it has you ensnared in it’s web, it will never let you go.” The demons had been driven away to the bowels of Purgatory, but with them they brought mortal children. They had slaughtered families and taken their daughters and sons, the children to be raised by demons and given unnatural abilities… The ability to kill gods. They are made to become different beings entirely, vampires, werewolves, necromancers, monsters, oni, all the creatures of the night. They were forced to survive, kill, suffer and thrive in agony and bloodshed.. Until the oldest of the children were forced to fight one another to the death to determine who deserved a place among the demons. And now the demon race turns their eyes away from the pain and agony they had set upon these children, and they focus all their attention onto killing the gods… little do they know a young girl had her eyes set on them. If anyone knows my other book, Omnipotent Death, this book is part of that same universe, just a separate reality within it, so there will be certain characters and aspects you will only understand if you read both, and the stories do overlap at certain points. But you do not need to read OD to enjoy this story, it will simply better the experience and give better understanding of this story. (Cover does not belong to me) THIS STORY IS NOT A FANTASY ROMANCE. When it comes to female lead stories, Webnovel generalizes them all as romance, so when I listed this story as a fantasy story, Webnovel went and said fantasy romance. FALSE. This is purely fantasy, no romance is involved. ~Fair WARNING~ This book has VERY disturbing events and details such as blood and gore, as well as others. DO NOT read if that bothers you. Note- this book is not your general female lead, romance touchy lovey dovey gooey feeling story. This is an action, traumatic, combat, blood, gore, war and adventure based female lead. Some people generally just don’t go near female leads because they dislike the romance stuff, but this book, I assure, is not one of those story types. This book contains some gruesome and dark events, lots of action, death, gore and the list goes on. I also write another book called KIN, check it out if interested. Check out my newest book, Kokkaku. I will post anywhere from 1-3 chapters a day, and the amount I post will vary depending on the number of power stones. Also, another note, I do not write on weekends, sorry if that is a problem, but I do not. Generally. Sometimes I do. I really hope you enjoy it, please leave reviews and comments and such to tell me what I can improve upon or what you think, I appreciate feedback very much! #overpoweredmc #weaktostrong #demon #revenge #evilmc #domination #monsters #dark #gore #conquer #yinyang

From the turn of the new century, the Qing empire has been heralded with ominous impediments one after the other. Their miserable defeat at the boxer rebellion only marked the beginning. Inside the walls of the forbidden city, the power struggle between the emperor and the empress dowager was growing ever intense. Outside the walls, nationalists and revolutionaries were clamoring to overthrow the dynasty. The times have gone tumultuous wherein causes of celebration were fleeting. In 1905, a most welcome news from the inner court came. It has been more than a decade since the emperor married and accepted concubines, but he still did not have a son to inherit the throne. With much anticipation, the emperor looked forward to the birth of a prince. However, much to his disappointment, the child was another daughter. In 1912, despite the edict of abdication being issued, the future of Aisin Gioro Wan Li, once known as Gulun Gongzhu Wan Li or Princess Wan Li of the first rank, was still looking bright. Bound by an internal verbal agreement between her mother and the new president of the republic of China, she was promised to marry the 3rd son of the president, Yuan Kezhen, upon reaching adulthood. However, not everything goes as planned. With the assassination of the president and the short-lived restoration of the Qing dynasty, Wan Li had to escape the forbidden city. Wan Li was a princess, but she was still a maiden born in imperial China. Growing up, she was mostly educated only with the moral principles and social code of behaviour called the three obediences and four virtues. Her personality was gentle, kind, shy, and meek. Instilled to her were traits and beliefs of an ideal wife leaning on dependency to a powerful and influential husband. How was she to survive without the privilege of her birthright during the extraordinary times of the republican era? -- This novel will have at least 3 major arcs. (Yes, I have written that far… at least inside my head. Haha!) 1. Wan Li's childhood in the palace/ forbidden city (qing dynasty until early republican era) Age: 0-12 2. After Wan Li escapes the Forbidden city (early republican era/ Warlord era) Age: 12-16 3. Wan Li in Shanghai. (Republican/ Warlord era) Age 16 onwards — What to expect? This novel will have romance, a lot of it later on but it doesn’t revolve entirely on that. There will be politics. Very necessary as it’s what propels the story forward. Character growth, definitely. For the better or the worse, all there but remember each character would be as human as can be. Drama, face slapping, some darkness, adventure, betrayal, all of it will be in this novel. R-18? There will be but definitely not in the early chapters. Oh and this will have a happy ending, though the roads reaching that would be bumpy. — Cover art: the pictures were grabbed from pinterest then edited by me. Important note to readers: Many events in the novel were based from historical facts. Again, many but not all. Some characters were inspired from historical figures. Take note: INSPIRED. Thus, they definitely have different attributes whether looks or personalities. In this regard, please do not assume that they’re one and the same. The characters here were created by me, so if they’re kinda evil or too kind, don’t think that the real historical figure was. Again, though this is historical, it’s still a work of fiction. So a lot of things and reasons leading to certain factual events may have been romanticized by the author (me).Married three years without love must go through Megan Clarissa. Being stuck in marriage with Ethan Willian is one of the things she least wants to do. Because of a mistake she never make‚ she was ensnared by Ethan Willian. He marries Megan but gives her the status of a widow in their marriage bond. Ethan Willian’s name is just the husband’s name on paper.

Even though they are divorced‚ there will always be things that will bring them closer‚ which in the end makes Ethan regret signing the divorce papers that Megan proposes‚ and instead turn to catch his sweet ex-wife. Will Ethan’s struggle to remarry Megan Clarissa be successful or not?
