arrangedmarriage

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth: beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead, she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.

Her first time carrying out a system mission was to win the heart of Xie Jinbai. To teach him to understand love and affection, Cui Lingyao married him. After two full years of marriage, she finally completed the mission and chose to leave the world, but the system informed her that Xie Jinbai's Love Value was full, passively triggering a one-year cool-down period. Thus, Cui Lingyao was forced to stay for a 'cool-down' of one year. But within this year, despite his Love Value being at maximum, Xie Jinbai actually decided to marry a concubine. He taught himself the heartlessness and fickleness of the men of the era. Cui Lingyao watched the new woman enter the household. Watched him place another woman on a high pedestal. Watched him indulge that woman in humiliating her in public. Until his last ounce of remorse was also exhausted. In a drowning incident, she died a clean and decisive death. Her final glance before death. In the bone-chilling lake water, the ever-calm and rational man lost his composure for the first time, rushing toward her like a madman, holding her with bloodshot eyes, his entire body trembling violently. — She had thought everything was over, that they would never cross paths again. Unexpectedly, three years later, the system came to her once again. Asking her if she wanted to accept another mission…

An Hao leaped, thinking she had died, but to her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she found herself back in the year 1985. To live a second life, did she have to endure the abuse of her stepmother and stepsister again, the dislike of her mother-in-law and disdain from her sister-in-law, and the betrayal of her best friend who bravely became the other woman just to slap her in the face and climb the social ladder? Was she supposed to end her miserable life in poverty again? An Hao's answer was, "Eat! Shit! No!" She was determined to make something of herself, to get rich by capitalizing on her knowledge and aim for a well-off life. This time around, she was going to be the protective big sister who reformed her worthless little brother who had died a wretched death, and the virtuous wife to make up for her past neglect of her husband! She wouldn't let this life go to waste in despair! A malicious best friend? Coveting her man? Not a chance! Go hang out wherever it's cool! Cough cough, how did she not realize in her past life that this "Stoic King of Hell" was so indecent. Decent? You've had your fill of decency during the day.

Ms. Scott used to have a terrible reputation, and nobody wanted to marry her. She had no choice but to find herself a temporary husband. They agreed this was only an act, but why did this man follow her around all day long? "Honey, it's too cold tonight. I want to hold you while we sleep..." After getting married, Ms. Scott was no longer bullied. In fact, the tables had turned. Those who bullied her had no choice but to apologize to her for what they did in the past. Just as she sighed in relief and was prepared to get a divorce, he pulled her into his arms. "Honey, who else bullied you in the past? I'll deal with them. You can do whatever you want. I'll always support you. Don't worry. "Hmm. I guess the divorce isn't going to work out. There was also a child who wrapped his arms around her legs and called her Mommy. Could anybody tell her when she gave birth to a child?

“I would rather go to war than marry him.” Prince Aurelian never expected his fate to be sealed with a single decision—a political marriage to his enemy, Prince Draven of Nightbane. Cold. Unreadable. Infuriating. Everything Aurelian despises. Forced to share a room, a future, and a name, their rivalry only burns hotter. But behind Draven’s silence lies something dangerous, and behind Aurelian’s defiance hides a heart that may not be as guarded as he thinks. As jealousy rises, tensions snap, and secrets unfold, one truth becomes impossible to ignore— The villain may have fallen first… but the prince might fall harder.

I walked the edge of the road from school with my best friend one day. I turned my head in my right side and then I caught a glimpse of something. There I saw a handsome man across the road with his house clothes and a woman jogged before him- trying to synchronize them both. I smiled at the romantic view I was seeing. "Daddy!" I called my father out. He turned to me and smiled as soon as he realized the caller. "Oh! My princess!" he called back right to me. I opened my arms running, ready to hug him but a second was passed by, I felt myself in the middle of the road slowly falling. I think I ran by a fast vehicle. It felt like the earth was in slow motion. "What happened?!" my mother exclaimed from afar. I saw both my parents and my best friend were running toward me. I saw the terrified and worried looks of them. Thinking though, I just realized that life isn't that predictable. Earlier today, my bestfriend and I were so happy about the results of our grades but at this moment, tears of sadness overtook everyone. If I shouldn't had walked the road since we had a car to ride home. If I could think wisely earlier, I shouldn't had stepped the road without looking around and ran basically without thinking that it was a road where fast vehicles run through. If I could go back in time, I won't do such things that can let me down. It can't be helped though, there's nothing much of time to atone for the wrong movement I did because it had already happened: a past; but the past I could rely on as moral lessons today and forth. Thud! Ouch! This hurts much! I fell down on this filthy road with the faint sound of the vehicle who ran into me and the screams of the people who cared for me. I felt and tasted the blood which came out from my mouth and my sight went black. In conclusion before losing consciousness, I should be thankful of the life that God given to me; that I get to experience being alive than those who couldn't make it unfortunately.

[The Imperial Consort could have been so much more than what we were shown.] --- Genius Neurosurgeon Lǐ Xīnyuàn died while being held at the gunpoint to perform a surgery on a terrorist leader. When he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated into a world similar to a Webnovel he'd been forced to read by a colleague. Now you'd think Lǐ Xīnyuàn had transmigrated into that Webnovel. But did he? No! Instead he'd been transmigrated into that webnovel's spin-off/"what-if" version of the story with nothing but the superficial knowledge of the plot thanks to reading the main novel. Now tasked with the mission of avoiding plotholes, unnecessary dog-blood, death and following the storyline to ensure the male lead's ascension to the throne of Supreme Emperor, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. And why did no one tell him that his character had to be married into the Male Lead's harem?? What about the Female Lead? Later: Lǐ Xīnyuàn: Why doesn't Your Highness spend the night with Concubine Namgung? ML: Don't want to. Lǐ Xīnyuàn: ... Why? ML: Are you pushing me away? Lǐ Xīnyuàn: QAQ --- Transmigrated (sometimes) Loud Mouthed MC x Indulgent (Enabler) ML, Slightly Pyromaniac Fox Spirit x CEO of unconditional love Dragon Spirit, Morally Questionable DILF Cultivator x Reincarnated Fox Spirit with very low self-esteem. CW: Deaths, PTSD, Blood, Explicit Smut, and so many more. This novel is as much of a journey of healing, self-forgiveness, pain, misery, grief, death, and depression etc, as it is a story of friendship, unconditional love. Self-exploration and dark themes go hand in hand with light ones. It is as much of a waltz as it is a discordant symphony of a past that haunts almost all characters. I hope you will give my cuties a chance. Oh, right, the synopsis may be a wee-bit misleading—quite light-hearted.

DARK BARGAIN The Wolf’s Bride Her father sells Rose to a monster. The beast calls her bride—then bows as if she is royalty and whispers, “Found you." At sixteen, Rose is traded to Prince Lucien to save her dying sister, the one person she cannot bear to lose. Hidden in an ancient forest, Lucien’s mansion holds a vanished bride, a locked west wing, and a silver collar restraining something monstrous. By night, Lucien becomes a black wolf. Beautiful, cold, impossibly old, and somehow familiar with Rose’s name, he claims to protect her while watching her like prey. He offers tenderness with one hand and tightens the leash with the other, insisting he wants only what was promised—though every glance suggests he has awaited Rose long before she was born. As their dangerous attraction grows, Rose uncovers a buried bargain, a blood curse, and a ritual planned for the next full moon. Lucien says it will save them both, but refuses to name the price. Her blood may free him, yet kill her—and leave her sister without the cure Rose was promised. Someone is lying. Perhaps Lucien is telling the truth in the most dangerous way possible: giving Rose just enough of it to make surrender feel like her own idea. Before the altar claims her, Rose must learn why she was chosen and decide whether saving her sister is worth surrendering her freedom, her future, and the part of herself Lucien is awakening. He may want her heart, her blood, or both—and the more fiercely he tempts her to trust him, the less certain she becomes that his desire is a weakness she can use. She must choose whom to betray, and whether the monster she fears is the only one who has ever offered her a choice. Some bargains are inherited. The most dangerous are made before you’re born.

Lucrezia Bathory has lived as an outcast from her pack until married to the rumored Devil’s Incarnate of Dreadwyn. A land built on souls of the dead and the throne of human bones—an ugly creature of the dark with sharp fangs, claws, and a monstrous form—known to eat the flesh of the innocent, and drink the marrow of the wicked. To protect her family and House Bathory, Lucrezia carries the cross as sacrifice to prove her birthright. But who knew the creature wedded wasn't as described in the tome as ‘ugly’ but a Sin destined to lure her astray. A Daydream disguised as a Nightmare, and a Nightmare of many colors. *** EXCERPT “You want to know what I want?” He stepped forward, pinning her gaze deep into his bright hazel eyes, reminding her sanity she just treaded the wrong question. When he drew closer, she stepped back, heart drumming loud that its rhythmic sound replaced the sudden silence sealed with heat, until the back of her legs hit the table behind, taking her weight along its surface. Gods… she was only wearing a silk night gown, and the windows were perfectly closed, hearth warm enough against the cold yet she was burning. “I can’t breathe, Lucreiza,” He pronounced her name like a sinful prayer, and she gulped, her mouth almost hanging from delusion. “I can't breathe because you’re fucking me with your scent. I’m going crazy with every passing second I breathe, and seeing you like this, utterly bare, makes me want to make you beg.” It was so short, but she could feel every power, every restrian, every pleasure, just by words alone. How insane can it drive her, were determined by her reaction. Unknown emotions she has never felt before, emotions that heated and chilled her all at the same time. A gasp escaped her lips when he pressed closer, and her legs parted unconsciously, conceding to his unexpressed demand. Now she was pinned in between the body of a monster. One whom she should fear, but felt… expectation? He leaned in and she stuttered a breath, throwing her head back as his fangs grazed her skin in a manner that’s supposed to make her crawl. Run. But instead, it made her desperate. “You don't know even half of what I want, half of what I need.” At this point, Lucreiza’s mind was a totally mess that nothing else registered apart from what he was doing to her. “I’m not just the monster you should fear, witch. I’m the Devil you should deny,” That was the thing… she couldn’t reject him. Fear him. Stir clear. Run. Nothing else made sense to her apart from the burning flames in her chest, the one she never knew when exactly it transpired. The world seemed to cease when she opened her mouth and uttered the damnation, that even the heavens screamed warning from above. “Y-yes,” she whispered, voice hanging from ecstasy. “M-Make me b-beg,” PS: MATURED CONTENT. #webnovel
