Excerpt
"My lord, she's here..."
Lucien's gaze remained fixed on the window as if seeing it for the first time.
He heard her light footsteps draw nearer. Those footsteps had become etched in his memory. In the past, he would turn around with a smile when he heard them, but this time, he did not want to.
"Lucien..." her somber little voice spoke, and they bore a crackle as though she had been crying. He turned around, and as he had thought, her eyes glistened with tears.
"Lucien..." she called again, and he gritted his teeth, purposefully looking away. If he continued to look at her, he was not sure he could stop himself from running to her.
"Is it true?" The question had bogged him all night, and he wished, so desperately that it was a lie, that she was not what they said she was. That she was just his Lev.
Silence filled the air, and he met her gaze. Tears streamed down her face, but still, she did not answer his question, but instead she smiled;
"I love you, Lucien."
What are the odds that Zavian, the son of the devil, would fall for the only woman whose destiny is to destroy him?
In the beginning of time, war broke out between the fallen angels and the devil, and the devil was defeated and cast into the underworld. During the war, Zavian, the devil’s son, turned against his father and joined hands with the other demons to defeat him, which made the devil kill his son's wife as a punishment for betraying him.
But 500 years later, there appeared a woman slave who looked exactly like his wife, and Zavian, who had longed for his dead wife, couldn’t help but get drawn to her.
But the devil had other plans for his son. To return to earth his son has to die. Is the queen's doppelganger part of the devil's plans?
Would Zavian fall right into his father’s trap or has fate got other plans for him?
…
Everyone stood before the king, the high and the low, with their heads bowed. This was the day they had waited for, for centuries.
King Zavian was finally getting remarried.
To strengthen the bond between the seven kingdoms of the earth, Zavian was to get married to one of the beautiful princesses standing in front of him.
But his eyes were drawn to the lowly maid standing afar off. The witches had warned him about her, and he knew he shouldn’t be with her, but she was something he couldn't resist. The more he tried to run away from her, the more drawn he was to her.
Even though everything in him screamed not to, Zavian stood up and walked past the princesses in front of him and to the maid;
She was tiny in her dress, and her whole body trembled as he approached her, her eyes pinned to her feet, afraid to behold his face. He smiled as he held her face, tilting her head to look at him;
‘’Neera, will you be my queen?’’
And that was when all of hell broke loose...

The novel is written by zhiruyi on webnovel.com.
Shane, a 20-year-old boy, awakened in a different body in another universe, where demons and monsters roam the lands. Humanity was on the verge of annihilation as the Servants, those born of human and demon, were on a quest to unseal the portals of hell and bring doom to the world.
Shane, a weakling who had no powers, suddenly gains an ability that no one possessed _the power to steal others' mana.
This seemed like a miracle but how would Shane have known that he had possessed the powers and body of a five-thousand-year-old demon whose soul had separated from its body as it passed through the portal.
What will happen to Shane when the demon returns to reclaim its body? Will he be able to defeat it, or will he turn around and destroy the only people he had pledged to protect?
....
''I can’t let you take this body.''
Shane said to the demon who looked exactly like himself. The demon laughed sarcastically, shaking his head as though in mockery of Shane;
''Do you realize I have owned that body for five thousand years? How do you think, a mere mortal like you can win in a war against me?;
Walking towards Shane with a sneer on his lips, he said; ''I must commend you however, for the powers you have gained during your brief stay in my body. It's quite impressive for a mortal soul like yours. But now it's time for me to take what's mine. ''

An Excerpt*
''You know what you are getting into, right?''
He asked, crossing his legs, he raised a brow;
Tiana's lips slanted and her eyes narrowed at him;
''As long as you pay me, I'll do whatever you want. ''
Nicklaus was amazed by her sudden audaciousness; but he was sure she was just trying to seem bold,
He knew her, she was just a weak, trembling soul, and she was trying so hard to mask it;
A smirk appeared on his lips as a thought came into his mind;
''Whatever I want? ''
He asked again and Tiana replied immediately without a second thought;
''Yes, Mr. Nicklaus, whatever you want. ''
''Alright then, I want you to strip yourself and go lie down on the bed. ''
He did not have any thought of touching her; he just wanted to see her reaction. But what Tiana did next shocked him.

Liling paused as she took In a deep breath. "I need one million yuan... "
Liu Wei shifted his gaze to face her. His face bore a surprised expression. 'What was she using that much money for?'
