Grey Andrews: I’m a catch, right? I’m easy on the eyes. I’m fun and love life. I wasn’t looking for my fated, but when I found her I was so stunned by her, I could barely think.

Leaving me with an unfulfilled mate bond. I’m a ticking time bomb. I have to find her soon before I literally go insane and die. Mia Masters: I was just fulfilling my duties to my Alpha when the fighter stood in front of me. I didn’t know what he wanted or why I was feeling the way did. So I ran away. I can’t bring Grey into my world. I’m an obligation to the Alpha and if he ever found Grey, he’d kill him. I want Grey safe in my dreams where I can feel him while outside my mind is being broken and tortured for the Alphas amusement. I know Grey could possibly save me from my nightmare, but I’m doing this for my pack. The pack comes first before my happiness.

Di sebuah desa kecil di kaki gunung pada galaksi terendah, lahir seorang bayi yang menggemparkan seluruh sembilan galaksi. Langit mendadak gelap, petir mengguncang jagat, dan seekor naga berkepala empat bermata dua belas muncul, hanya untuk lenyap masuk ke tubuh bayi itu. Fenomena itu membuat para penguasa galaksi tertinggi gemetar ketakutan—karena bayi itu terlahir dengan garis darah ilahi yang tak tertandingi. Bayi itu bernama Qin Shan, putra dari sepasang kultivator hebat yang bersembunyi dari musuh klan mereka. Namun, takdir Qin Shan berbeda dari siapapun. Ia memiliki empat garis darah ilahi—Naga Petir, Matahari, Bulan, dan Bintang—dan empat dantian sejak lahir. Segel darahnya membuatnya tampak biasa di mata orang lain, sampai suatu hari ia menemukan harta peninggalan pendekar kuno. Di situlah ia mendapatkan dua warisan yang akan mengubah hidupnya: Kultivasi Semesta, teknik misterius yang bisa menyedot energi dari segala arah. Kultivasi Fisik Dewa Perang, jalan keras untuk menempa tubuh menjadi wadah yang tak tergoyahkan. Namun kekuatan besar datang dengan harga besar. Untuk melangkah satu tingkat kecil saja, Qin Shan membutuhkan lima kali lebih banyak sumber daya daripada kultivator biasa. Apa yang bagi orang lain cukup untuk satu sekte besar, baginya hanyalah langkah kecil. Qin Shan tak gentar. Dengan Batu Teratai Ilahi yang menyatu dengan tubuhnya—sebuah dunia mini yang bisa ditinggali manusia, ditanami herbal, dan kelak menjadi surga kultivasi—ia mulai menapaki jalan penuh darah dan pengorbanan. Musuh-musuh yang tamak datang satu per satu. Dari perantau hina, sekte kecil, hingga penguasa galaksi. Namun di tiap pertarungan, Qin Shan bukan hanya berjuang untuk bertahan, tapi juga menguat, melampaui batas, dan menorehkan jalannya sendiri. Dari galaksi terendah, ia akan menantang langit, menembus sembilan galaksi, dan melangkah ke dunia surgawi, dunia Dao, hingga dunia Tao. Dengan empat garis darah ilahi, tubuh surgawi, mata ilahi, dan tekad baja—nama Qin Shan akan mengguncang semua dunia.

Pada tahun kelima pernikahan mereka, Althea tanpa sengaja memergoki Virgoun yang sedang memuaskan diri sambil memegang pakaian dalam renda milik adik angkatnya. Di satu tangan, Virgoun memutar untaian tasbih, sementara tangan lainnya tak mampu menahan gejolak nafsu. Terpisah hanya oleh satu pintu, Althea mendengar pengakuan perasaan terdalam yang tak terucapkan itu, ditujukan pada sang adik angkat. Tubuh Althea kehilangan kendali dan merosot ke lantai, air mata mengalir deras. Ternyata, tidak ada pria suci yang dingin dan tak tersentuh. Tasbih di tangan pria itu hanyalah alat untuk menekan hasrat terlarang yang tak bisa diungkapkan. Sepuluh tahun Althea mengejar Virgoun, dan pada akhirnya dia hanya menjadi lelucon yang menyedihkan. Ketika sang adik angkat pulang ke rumah setelah bercerai, Althea membeli tiket pesawat ke selatan. Dia ingin mengucapkan selamat tinggal pada semua yang ada di sini sepenuhnya. Demi membuka jalan bagi adik angkatnya, Virgoun sendiri menyerahkan Althea sebagai "hadiah" kepada orang lain. "Tenang saja, sebulan lagi aku akan menjemputmu kembali. Kamu tetap istriku." Hati Althea benar-benar mati rasa. Dia berpura-pura mati demi melarikan diri. Saat kabar Althea terjatuh ke jurang dan jasadnya tak pernah ditemukan sampai ke telinga Virgoun, dirinya diliputi penyesalan. Virgoun mencarinya dengan gila-gilaan, tetapi tak pernah menemukan jejaknya. Hingga setahun kemudian, ketika dia mendorong pintu sebuah toko bunga di selatan, dia kembali melihat wanita itu. Dengan mata memerah, dia berlutut memohon rujuk. Namun, Althea hanya tersenyum dingin dan sopan. "Maaf, Pak. Toko sudah tutup. Aku harus pulang bersama suamiku."

I get sent away to the countryside because my parents fear that I'll use my privileged background to lord over others. In turn, they're taking in Tina from that family to the city for her upbringing and schooling. In the countryside, I get up at 4:00 am daily to feed the pigs, then it's a grueling three-hour trek through the mountains to school. I'm also barely surviving due to constant malnutrition. I reach out to my parents for a mere 300 dollars for tuition, only for them to accuse me of spending recklessly. In the meantime, they're donating an entire building just to secure a spot for Tina at her preferred school. I finally make it into Tina's high school and earn a guaranteed university admission spot, only for my parents to order me to hand it over to her as they unleash their fury on me, yelling, "You're clearly bad to the bone, always trying to take things that belong to Tina." "Tina almost gave up on life because of what you did. You're indebted to her for the rest of your life." They, using their parental rights, forfeit my guaranteed university admission spot to fulfill Tina's wish. They then transfer all company shares and real estate to her for her future security, while the whole family makes arrangements to move abroad together. I take in everything before me, no longer feeling hurt. I calmly pack my belongings and walk away from the place where I don't belong.

[Dark romance! R18!] “A MacKnight does not deserve anything good.” She responded. “And…” I pushed her, and she took in a deep breath and added, “A Macknight does not deserve mercy.” “And…” I pushed further, enjoying this rare moment of seeing Andromeda MacKnight breaking down in front of me. “MacKnigts are less than dogs.” Mmmmm! I’m impressed. “I would love to hear these words every morning when you wake me up” _________ Andromeda was willful but smart, intelligent, attractive, and had a powerful background to boot. Beneath those compliments lay a young girl who was just tired of everything. There was a controlling father, a jerk boyfriend she didn't dare to break up with, and a career she dared not flop. She bottled it all up until she couldn't hold it in anymore. Then she flipped. However, she chose the wrong person to pour her frustrations on. It destroyed his fragile paradise, taking so much more from him than she could ever imagine.

It seemed like love alone wasn’t enough to melt his stony heart.

Regret soon consumed Stefan after the divorce. He never expected that his boring ex-wife would move on overnight, and be living her best life. Not only did a young heir of an influential family claim to be her underling, but a famous celebrity confessed to being her fan as well.

I’ll make sure to tear down your walls!’ With that, the second son of the Hunt family set out to protect the woman in secret. Stefan: “My ex-wife is so fragile that she can’t even stand on her own two feet, you mustn’t take advantage of her.”To which everyone replied, “Who would dare to mess with her? She’d rip our heads off if we ever get into a minor disagreement!”Stefan: “My ex-wife is far too naive, you shouldn’t toy with her feelings.” And yet people would say, “I’m sorry? We’ve never seen a naive woman act so unapologetically!”Stefan: “Come, darling. Let me introduce you to this powerful figure!”To which the powerful figure responded with a deep bow, “No, no, she’s the boss around these parts! I hope you accept my sincerest admiration!”Since then, Stefan has had to live a double life. He was an almighty CEO during the day, but come night time, he’d be sobbing on his knees, hoping to win Renee’s heart back.

Conrad Lexus Farris. All he wanted is to skip his toxic life away from the city for a while. Dawn Zelena Augustino.

Kaso nang makita ni Conrad ang anak niya, di maipagkakaila na parang pinagbiyak na bunga ang dalawa. At ang masaklap pa nito, ang bata mismo ang umamin sa lalaki. "You're my dad right? Mama has many photos of you together and told me a lot of stories about you!" Connor screamed in excitement. Napaawang si Conrad at di makapaniwala sa natuklasan! At nang magtama ang mata nila ng lalaki, alam ni Zele na ito na ang magiging simula ng kalbaryo niya.
