Isabelle wanted freedom. For herself and for her sister, but when the duke falls ill everything starts to change. She finds herself walking towards a dangerous relationship with the heir to the dukedom and her tormentor. “You really think you can leave me? After all this time? I think not”, a smirk that looked so cruel and made my insides feel utterly helpless appeared across his face. “What if I pay you?” I said after a moment of silence. Hoping I still had chance. He laughed at my words. A cold and humourless laugh. “You couldn’t afford the price I’ve put on your head in this lifetime or the next”, I felt the futility beating me down, but I stayed strong. I was trained to deal with such emotions. “How much”, my lips quivered ever so slightly, betraying the confidence I tried to ooze, yet failing so miserably. “1 trillion”. Isabelle and her sister Angela had only known the Gold dukedom growing up. Their mother had worked there and when she passed the girls became the dukedom's legal property and were also raised as maids. The duchess, a close friend of their mother, showered them with affection and allowed them to be sort of pen pals for her young son. But when she had passed, the girls were left at the duke's mercy and he disliked their relationship with his son and so forbade them from ever speaking to him. From then on, the two made it their goal to escape the dukedom however, life had other plans. Warning: This is a dark-themed yandere love story. Read at your own risk. Completed

Lu Qinyi and Fei Li stood on opposite sides of the war, destined to be enemies and nothing more. However, things get complicated after Fei Li is ambushed, sustaining a significant head injury that renders him temporarily amnesiac. Lu Qinyi had only intended to hold the enemy general hostage to buy his army some time. But he got more than he bargained for when the mental state of the confused and injured Fei Li is far worse than predicted and he becomes the only one capable of treating him. Fei Li however finds himself at the mercy of the enemy but he is surprisingly treated rather un-enemy-like. Despite this, he often felt it would have been better if they never met at all, remaining enemies who were perfect strangers. --- "I can answer you but it's up to you whether you believe the answer," Lu Qinyi replied mysteriously, earning an annoyed glare from the other for faffing around. "It's because I respect and admire you, General Fei." Fei Li was stunned, rendered speechless. Of all the answers he had thought the other might give, this wasn't one of them. His brows slowly furrowed together, a frown forming on his face. "You're right. I don't believe you." --- The atmosphere was so light and pleasant, you could almost forget the impending war that lay just beyond the snow. But he knew it was only time until that blanket of innocently white snow melted away to reveal the bloodstains beneath. --- Fei Li: "Let me go." Lu Qinyi: "I'll think about it." Later Lu Qinyi: "Just let me go..." Fei Li: "...I cant." --- Warnings: Violence and blood, because that's always the answer. Suicide, but that's never the answer. The slowest of slow burn romances.
