Married to the Shadows Prince: Thrones and Desire

DP_RINN
“A surprise?” The Prince scoffed. “And if I had died out there? You would have let me die as a prince who never knew his daughter existed.” Her smile didn’t falter. “I’m grateful you didn’t. So, my surprise still worked. And more than that, I suppose I got a surprise too… about your new arranged marriage, Your Grace.” Her nails pressed into her palms through the crumpled fabric of the handkerchief. She wouldn’t let herself crumble. Not now. Not after everything. She vowed to hold her composure—as the lady of the castle, the Marchioness of Ravenswood. === Duty over Desire. That was the mindset Elara Damaryon had set for herself when she accepted the marriage offer from the Prince, who didn’t believe in love and lived in the shadows of Valloria Kingdom. Coming from a disgraced baron’s family, Elara dedicated herself to becoming a worthy wife and the respected lady of Ravenswood Castle for the past four years. She worked tirelessly to remain devoted to the Prince, even though they had shared only one passionate night before he left for a war that would last four long years. After the long, gruelling battle, the Prince’s return as a hero turned into agony for Elara when he was bound by Royal Decree to enter an alliance marriage with a warrior princess. But... The Prince saw his wife, whom he married out of necessity, whom he once knew as a shy woman who never dared to defy him, had now become a strong woman who consumed his thoughts at every moment. For Elara, what she once saw as duty has become an undeniable desire when the Prince shows the affection she never knew he could have. In a kingdom where fate is whispered through ancient spells and the Moon Goddess watches in silence, Elara feels threatened when she receives a divine message about her daughter's safety. She must protect her legacy—not just as a mother, but as a woman who’s discovering more about her secret power and the salvation her love will bring. === This Novel is a Character-Driven Story with Slowburn Romance It has complex characters dynamic [WARNING MATURE CONTENT 18+] Please give this story a chance (^,^) WebNovel Spirity Awards 2025 Entry

Series of broken hearts

Endels went through 27 scenarios, and in each of them, his life ended in an unpleasant way. Death from a prince's sword, driven by jealousy, death from a curse that a mage cast on him, death from broken ribs when a guardsman captain decided he was behind the revolutionary movement. Death, death, death. The only respite was his younger sister, but unfortunately, most of the bad endings were associated with her. Not with her, but with the harem of madmen who followed her skirt like chickens. In his last attempt, Endels is given a chance to spend the bonuses he has earned from past successes, and he prioritizes only one person — himself. If he doesn't survive this time, there won't be another chance. It's time to stop being a compliant actor's dog. One day he will wake up again in his warm apartment on the 6th floor of Yongsan — and it doesn't matter what price he has to pay for it.

Douluo Dali: Unrivalled Tang Sect: With Sharingan

What? Tang San’s entire family were evil soul masters? The Spirit Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago just so Tang San could turn the Douluo Continent into his personal backyard? Impossible—absolutely impossible! If Tang San’s father wasn’t an evil soul master, then how did he manage to defeat three Super Douluos by himself ten thousand years ago? If Tang San and his allies weren’t evil soul masters, how did they cultivate at a rate that far exceeded ordinary people? Their absurd soul ring ratios and secret methods of soul ring enhancement—aren’t those techniques exclusive to the Holy Spirit Church? Back then, the Spirit Hall reached into every corner of the continent to awaken spirits. They clearly knew who was an evil soul master and could eliminate them on the spot. Yet now, evil soul masters lurk everywhere. How do you explain that? And what about the factions that once supported Tang San? The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, once a peak force, has fallen to second-rate. The Poison Douluo’s clan? Its entire inheritance has vanished. Even the Holy Soul Village—where the Sea God Tang San first awakened his martial spirit—has become nothing but a forgotten relic. Shouldn’t it have become a sacred site? Why did it fade into obscurity? Not to mention the Holy Angel lineage—there hasn’t been a single Titled Douluo from that bloodline in tens of thousands of years. Why? And then there’s Tang San’s so-called “Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirits.” Aside from sounding impressive, are any of them actually true? Weapon-type spirits supposedly couldn’t absorb beast spirit rings—but before those theories, did the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect get their rings by dismantling towers? Did the Clear Sky Sect gather rings by smashing hammers? No… Something’s deeply wrong here.

Now Rhea has to make a choice. Burn it all down, or become the very thing that could break her mate. This is a story about found family, the soft ache of grief, the sharp edge of survival—and the kind of love that doesn’t ask for permission.

CHAMBER OF THE AUTHORITY

The energy. The light. The darkness. The void. From this genesis, the universe unfurled, seemingly endless expanse of stars and planets. That's sound beautiful? Such a white lie, an endless war between the heaven, the red authority, and the monster. Peace was a desperate, fading hope. And the one tasked with restarting it? It's Garret Spencer.

Cyberpunk: Legendary Mantis Blades From Day One

Lin Yu travels through time to the year 2075 and arrives in Night City. He becomes the younger brother of the corporate female V and unlocks a sign-in system, which grants him exclusive skills simply by staying near key story characters. At this point in time, David is still dutifully attending classes at Arasaka Academy. Lucy has just arrived in Night City and is wandering around like a headless chicken, searching for a place to take shelter. Jackie Welles is still a small-time punk in Heywood, dreaming of becoming a big shot. Ding! The sign-in system has been activated. Congratulations to the host for signing in with the story character Valerie (female V)! Skill unlocked: Flying Mantis Blades. Note: This is a skill — the protagonist has no cyberware implants, and therefore won't suffer from cyberpsychosis. "Heh, this is pretty interesting." "A cyberpunk without a single implant stirring up a storm in the entire Night City? Now that's something." Adam Smasher's expression darkened — he never expected to be toyed with so thoroughly by a cyberpunk. "Sure, I don't have any implants... but I have skills." A Li smiled slightly. Under Adam Smasher’s shocked gaze, two of the finest mantis blades slowly extended from his arms... [Raw: 赛博朋克开局签到传奇螳螂刀]
