Thorn Crown

The city sleeps under his dominion. He stands at the top of his tower, watching the skyline he built on corpses and contracts. A power play gone wrong leaves blood on his hands and a name on his conscience—the woman he was never meant to see again. Below, she moves through the city unseen, carrying evidence that ties him to a crime buried a decade deep. Their collision begins not with love, but exposure. She’s the variable that can end him—or save him from what he’s become.

Emery Trigon was raised and trained far away from the royal capital under the tutelage of the Arcana, a secret organization working behind the shadows. Upon turning 20, she was sent to the capital of Silex to marry the king who did not show any interest in her at first. Not only will she hide her identity while protecting the king behind his back but she shall also be involved with the troubles brewing within the palace. And that included dealing with the favored concubine of the king. Things had even gone more awry when a princess showed up at the palace's doorstep. The trust that Emery worked hard for just to convince the king that she was no threat was shattered in a matter of seconds.

In my previous life, I was born at the stroke of a cold, pitch-black midnight on New Year's Day, an omen the old town whispered about. They called me a Deathbringer's child, destined to guide the souls of the stillborn to rest. From the age of six, I carried small coffins alone to the graveyard by the church, burying them in silence. Each time, when I reached into the velvet shroud that wrapped the tiny casket, I would find a golden coin resting inside. My mother sold those coins for money, buying my brother a grand mansion, while leaving me behind in the crumbling family house to keep doing the work. No one expected the world of Haunts to descend. However, those coins turned out to be tokens of command, keys that bound the Haunts of the apocalypse to my will. With them, I became the Empress of the End, feared by all, ruling with every resource at my command.

Si Anathalia Eirah Dela Rosa ay ang pinakatampok na halimbawa ng isang spoiled brat—matigas ang ulo, impulsive, at sanay na laging makuha ang kanyang nais. May matalim na dila at pusong puno ng mapanghimagsik na lakas, hindi siya kailanman kailangang sumagot sa sinuman, lalo na sa isang lalaki. Ngunit magbabago ang lahat nang makilala niya si Kaelion Isolde Vesperas, isang kalmado at mahinahon na gobernador na may pusong kasing matibay ng kanyang awtoridad. Walang pakialam si Kaelion sa mga charm ni Anathalia, at wala ni isang bagay ang nakakagulo sa kanyang mahinahong anyo—lalo na hindi isang maapoy na babae na akala niya’y kaya niyang pabagsakin. Habang sanay si Anathalia na ang mga tao ay yumuyuko sa kanyang gusto, nananatiling matatag si Kaelion, hindi tinatablan ng kanyang mga tantrum at maligalig na pagtatangkang mapansin siya. Habang ang magaspang na ugali ni Anathalia at mga pang-aakit ay hindi nakakalusot sa malamig na pagtanggap ni Kaelion, natutuklasan niyang hindi basta-basta mananalo ang kanyang puso. Kailangan niyang magbago at matutunan ang kahalagahan ng pagiging bukas, isang bagay na hindi pa niya kailanman inaalok. Sa isang mundong kung saan nagtatagpo ang pagnanasa at kapangyarihan, ang magkaibang impulsiveness ni Anathalia at ang mahinahong pagpipigil ni Kaelion ay nagbabanggaan sa isang laban ng mga kalooban. Magagawa kaya niyang iwaksi ang kanyang pagiging spoiled upang makuha ang respeto—at marahil pati ang pagmamahal—niya? O hahantong ba ang mga whim ng kanyang puso sa isang landas ng pagkabasag ng puso? @cursebyharrrt Date Started: November 28,2024 Date Finish: Status: On-going A/N: Slow Update, please bare with the writer.

Anya Thornveil, the Beta’s first daughter, has lived her life as the unwanted one—mocked for her looks, ignored by her family, and overshadowed by her beautiful sister. On her eighteenth birthday, she finally scents her fated mate… only to be publicly rejected by him, the Alpha’s golden son. His cruel words humiliate her before the entire pack, leaving her shattered. In her pain, Anya cries out to the Moon Goddess, begging for an answer. The Goddess does not stay silent. Instead of letting her drown in rejection, she grants Anya something rare—a second chance mate. A man stronger, darker, and more devoted than she could have ever imagined. Years later, Anya returns no longer the “ugly daughter,” but a woman reborn from her scars. The Alpha’s son, who once despised her, now looks at her with regret burning in his eyes. But Anya is no longer his to claim, her true bond lies with the one who chose her, not the one who broke her. The rejected thorn has become the Moon’s chosen bloom. And this time, she will not be broken.

The Heart Beneath the Thorn — A Modern Beauty and the Beast Retelling 💔 In a glittering city of fortunes and façades, The Heart Beneath the Thorn reimagines Beauty and the Beast through the broken glass of betrayal, redemption, and forbidden love. Emilia Grace, a fierce yet quietly bruised soul, is just trying to survive. Between juggling hospital shifts, family debts, and the ghosts of her past, she’s never had the luxury of dreaming. But fate has a cruel sense of humor when she’s assigned to care for Max Carter—the cold-hearted billionaire who once made her school years a waking nightmare. Max was the golden boy with the cruel smirk—the privileged heir with everything, except peace. Years later, a tragic accident leaves him scarred, not just physically but emotionally. Isolated and emotionally exiled, Max is now a man haunted by his past choices and a legacy wrapped in barbed wire. When Emilia walks back into his life, she's no longer the girl he mocked—she's the woman who might just be his undoing. Forced into each other’s orbit, what begins as a war of words slowly melts into lingering stares, late-night confessions, and an unraveling of everything they thought they knew. Max, the beast of her memories, begins to reveal the tender man beneath the mask—a man who collects poetry he never shares, who builds gardens no one sees, and who might have always loved the girl he couldn’t protect. But trust doesn’t bloom easily in thorn-covered soil. And when old enemies, buried secrets, and a scandalous inheritance come to light, Emilia must decide: can she love the man who once broke her, now that he’s the only one trying to piece her back together? A tale of enemies-to-lovers, second chances.

Is Vivian the villain or she is just controlled and manipulated to act according to the plot?. Is she still going to die?

Once thеrе was a young girl who wanted nothing more than to bе lovеd. Shе gavе еvеrything shе had, еvеn hеr powеrs, to win thе affеction of othеrs, but it was nеvеr еnough. Instеad of accеptancе, all shе got was bеtrayal and pain. In thе еnd, thе man shе trustеd thе most was thе onе who turnеd back on hеr. Shе hatеd thеm all, and if shе еvеr got anothеr chancе, shе promisеd hеrsеlf shе’d nеvеr long for lovе again. Instеad, shе’d makе thosе who wrongеd hеr suffеr in rеturn. Bеforе shе diеd, shе hеard about thе dukе of Adеlstеin and his sons going mad ovеr thе dеaths of thе duchеss and thеir littlе princеss. Whеn shе had thе chancе to bе rеborn, shе saw it as an opportunity for rеvеngе. Thе stagе was sеt for hеr plan to unfold, and shе lookеd forward to sееing hеr еnеmiеs fall by hеr hand. Thе big quеstion now is whеthеr shе’ll gеt hеr vеngеancе or if somеthing unеxpеctеd will changе hеr mind. Will shе ultimatеly lеarn to lovе hеr nеw family? Only timе will tеll in this story of bеtrayal, rеvеngе, and thе possibility of finding somеthing unеxpеctеd along thе way.

“Don’t expect me to love you, Lian. I only married you because I knew I could control you. You’re just a plaything, easy to use, easy to manipulate.” – Prince Yul Maagang namulat sa realidad si Lian, isang babaeng kayod-kalabaw para sa pamilyang puro luho ang inaatupag at walang ginawa kundi lustayin ang perang pinaghirapan niya. May tatay siyang lasinggero, kapatid na lulong sa bisyo, at inang comatose sa ospital. Kahit anong trabaho, pinasok niya makaraos lang hanggang sa nakuha siyang bodyguard ng isang miyembro ng royal family. Akala niya, doon na magsisimula ang pagbabago. Pero mas naging demanding pa ang pamilya niya pagdating sa pera. Sa trabaho, hindi rin maganda ang trato sa kanya pero tiniis niya dahil sa laki ng sahod. Pakiramdam niya, palagi siyang pinagkakaitan ng tadhana. Hanggang sa isang araw, dumating ang prinsipe sa bansa upang maghanap ng mapapangasawa. Sa gitna ng isang engrandeng event sa palasyo, aksidente siyang nakita ng prinsipe. At sa harap ng maraming tao, bigla siya nitong inalok ng kasal, isang eksenang ikinagulat ng lahat. Ang akala ng prinsipe, madali lang kontrolin si Lian. Bodyguard lang naman niya ito dati. Pero ang totoo, inalok niya ito ng kasal para pagtakpan ang matagal na niyang relasyon sa isang babae, isang sikretong ayaw niyang mabunyag sa kanyang maharlikang pamilya. Pero nagkamali siya. Habang patagal nang patagal ang pagsasama nila, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob ng prinsipe kay Lian. Sa araw-araw na bangayan, asaran, at hindi inaasahang mga lambingan. Napalapit sila sa isa’t isa. Pero paano kung mabunyag ang sikreto ng prinsipe? Tatanggapin pa rin ba siya ni Lian lalo't dinadala na nito ang anak niya? O mas pipiliin nitong tumakbo palayo at bumalik sa dating buhay?
