A Court Of Song And Shadow

The story can be seen to be a bit horror based if you are to talk about the genre but still you will find a lot of comical reliefs once you give the story a try

Jiro! seorang pemuda yang dipilih langsung oleh Cahaya, untuk menghapus Kegelapan dari dunia ini. Kelahirannya mengundang bencana, yang dikenal sebagai 'Masa Kekacauan'. Hidup di alam tersembunyi yang indah dan damai, tidak membuatnya menjadi anak yang lemah dan manja. Ia berlatih setiap harinya di dalam hutan dan melawan binatang buas, membuatnya sering kali berada diambang kematian. Namun, keadaan itu justru membuatnya menjadi pejuang yang hebat suatu saat nanti, seperti seorang pahlawan manusia yang selalu diceritakan oleh ibunya setiap menjelang tidur. Kasih sayang Ibu dan Bibinya, membuatnya bertekad menjadi pejuang terhebat di dunia. Hingga pada suatu hari, di malam yang gelap, ratusan ras iblis berhasil masuk ke dalam alam rahasia, dan membumihanguskan alam serta desa tempat ia dibesarkan. Dengan keadaan yang mengharuskannya untuk bersembunyi, sedangkan Ibu, Bibi, dan orang-orang desa bertarung melawan ras iblis, membuatnya dilema dan merasa tidak berguna. Dalam kesendiriannya di tempat persembunyian, sebuah takdir yang hebat datang padanya. Tentang kekuatan yang diwariskan dari para Leluhur, membuatnya sangat percaya diri untuk memusnahkan seluruh ras iblis. Namun takdir berkata lain, ketika ia melihat desanya yang telah rata dengan tanah. Tanpa adanya seorang pun yang tersisa, membuatnya merasa putus asa dan tidak memiliki keinginan untuk tetap hidup. Hingga ia teringat kembali tentang ucapan Ibunya, yang mengatakan bahwa ia akan menjadi pejuang hebat yang akan mengalahkan kegelapan dan membawa perdamaian bagi manusia. Membuat tekadnya membara, dan berjanji pada dirinya sendiri, bahwa ia tidak akan mati sebelum memusnahkan seluruh kegelapan dari dunia ini. "Aku, Hikaru Jiro! Berjanji akan memusnahkan segala bentuk kegelapan dari dunia ini! Jika seluruh dunia diselimuti oleh kegelapan, maka aku akan mendatangi seluruh tempat di dunia untuk menjadi penerang, dan memusnahkan kegelapan!" Sumpah yang telah disaksikan oleh langit dan bumi, akankah Jiro berhasil melakukannya?

There's an unspoken rule in the high-end society—married couples who are bound by marriage alliances are allowed to branch out romantically. But if they ever buy anything for their side piece, they must buy the same gift for their legal spouse. Raymond Johnson is a very particular person. That's why he continues sticking to the rule and gives Melanie Strickland the respect she deserves by showering her with gifts that are 100 times more than his mistress', even after the Stricklands have gone into bankruptcy. If his mistress gets 100 thousand dollars' worth of allowances every month, Melanie's bank account must receive ten million dollars in return. When Raymond gifts his mistress jewelry that's worth a million dollars, he'll go for the main highlight of the auction. After that, Melanie will receive an antique emerald ring worth 100 million dollars. The rich wives, who are too used to seeing wealthy men immersing themselves in booze and beautiful women, can only sigh wistfully whenever they witness Raymond and Melanie's lovey-dovey relationship. But at the same time, they can't resist dropping Melanie words of advice—mainly to tell her to appreciate what she has now. Appreciate, huh? Of course Melanie appreciates everything she has right now. That's why on the day Raymond gives a house of very little value that's located in the suburbs to his mistress, Melanie decides to ask him a question while receiving the land deed of Villa No. 1 that's located in Northshore. "I've grown tired of this marriage. Can we get a divorce?"

The marrige was supposed to the happiest thing that happened in my life but it turned out to be the bane of my existence. Bringing his ex lover into our house was not the problem. He laid her on our matrimonial bed and locked me out. A marrige crumbled that night but something else was born. I was carrying his child, the only link we had now but the end still remained we may never be together again because I had someone else.

My CEO husband, Clayton Lockwood, was convinced I was a gold digger. Every time he went to comfort his first love during her depressive episodes, he would buy me a limited-edition bag. After half a year of marriage, my walk-in closet was filled with them. After giving ninety-nine bags, he noticed I had changed. I no longer cried my heart out or argued until I was hoarse when he visited his first love. I also did not brave the storm and cross the city anymore just because he said he wanted to see me. I only asked him for a rosary for our unborn child. When I mentioned our child, Clayton’s gaze softened. “Once Ruby’s condition improves, we’ll go to the hospital for a checkup first, then get a rosary.” I obediently agreed. Little did he know that I had a miscarriage ten days earlier. I had also prepared a divorce agreement that was ready for his signature.

"I want you... Wolf," She whispers sweetly, taking my bottom between her teeth and she lightly sucks on it with a moan leaving her lips. She releases my lip, her hands move to the buckle of my slacks and she loosens it. I clamp my eyes shut, leaning my head against the doorframe with a silent plea hanging on the tip of my tongue that I don't lose contro,l and take her like a savaged beast. --- LOVING wolf was like a chaotic thunderstorm engulfing me. He was beautiful, unpredictable, and brutally ruthless. Someone like me doesn't belong in his world. Used as a pawn, I find myself falling into the wrong hands time and time again. BUT I always end back up in the hands that make my body burn with fever, my heart pound with desire, and my blood boil, with contempt. He is my Wolf, and I am his Red to our screwed-up fairytale love story.

After the death of my father, I was left to fight on my own. I am a hybrid. Part Lycan and Light Oracle. They call me the Blessed One. I am destined to accomplish great feats, save those who cannot save themselves, and marry my fated mate. The only issue is that I have no idea who my fated mate is. There are two prospective males in my life, and each of them ignites the blazing inferno that yearns to consume me Alpha Bastion, leader of the Pack Moon Stone. He takes me in and things start to spiral out of control. Then there is Zeb, he is an Alpha Nightingale Warrior from the planet of Morzovia. As I struggle to maintain a sliver of hope in my life's downward spiral, I find solace in both of their arms.

"You know what happens when you run, spitfire." Tobias nips my lower lip with his teeth then soothes the sting with the gentle caress of his tongue. "I catch you!" --- I should have known that Tobias Landry was behind the circus of my troubles. He, who once was a man I adored in my past life, is now a man who leaves nothing but devastation in his wake everywhere he turns. He can pretend all he likes that he is innocent, but the slight twitch in his left eye says a completely different story. I will fight him to the end to keep the bakery that I have poured my sweat, blood, and tears into! Even, if that means that I have to marry him and give in to his sexual desires. My name is Keri Appleton and this is a dangerous and sultry tale about lies, secrets, and the fine line between love and obsession.

I've gone to the church to pray for my son, Robert Scott. On the way home, my carriage is overturned because the horses suffer from a shock. When I wake up, I look at my family gathering around my bed. Then, I decide to pull a prank on them. "Sorry, but who are you?" I do my best to suppress the smile that threatens to appear on my face. I want to see how my family is going to comfort me now that I have "amnesia". Will Mom and my husband, Jeremy Scott, take my hands comfortingly? Or will Robert lunge at me while crying out to me? What I don't expect is to see my family breathing sighs of relief after their initial shock has faded away. Mom is the first one to speak up with a hint of relief coloring her tone. "Since you've already forgotten all about us, then it's fine. Maisie, you're actually the adopted daughter of the Liddell family. Amber is the actual heiress of the Liddell family." Jeremy points at me while telling Robert, "Robbie, you must address her as Aunt Maisie." Before I can recover from my shock, I see my own son, whom I'm willing to sacrifice my life to protect, running over to hug Amber Liddell, the fake heiress, happily. "Mom, I've spent the whole day playing outside! Oh, I miss you so much!" So, it turns out that my case of amnesia is exactly what this family wants. In that case, I might as well abandon this farce of a family.
