The Chef and The Crowned Omega

Elara Hale is many things. An art historian for the Crown. A devoted wife. A mother. And the reigning Omega of England’s werewolves. But the truth is, she leads MI6’s Anti-Paranormal Response Division, hunting dark sorcerers and terrorist cells that use corrupted magic to destabilise nations. By blood, she stands above every alpha in the country — sovereign, untouchable, and bound by ancient law to bear only one daughter who will one day inherit the throne. There is only one problem. Her husband has absolutely no idea. Thomas Hale is a celebrated London chef who believes the most dangerous thing in his life is over-reducing a sauce. He knows his wife works for the Crown. He knows important people attend her “promotion dinners.” He even suspects London politics are stranger than they appear. He just doesn’t realise half the guests bow to her. Or that the monsters congratulating him at his restaurant aren’t being polite — they’re acknowledging their Queen’s consort. For six years, their marriage has been built on warmth, humour, and carefully maintained secrets. Until the impossible happens. Elara is crowned beneath a hidden veil at Stonehenge, her hair turning gunmetal silver as ancient magic recognises her sovereignty. The supernatural world shifts. Alphas lower their eyes. Foreign powers take notice. And then she becomes pregnant. An Omega can only bear one daughter. Their daughter Ellie is the only one that knows the truth about her parents and is the monster princess of the United Kingdom. Elara is carrying twins. Two sons. A miracle that should not exist. Across London, the Ashen Dominion — dark sorcerers who corrupt souls to wield black magic — begin testing the Crown’s defences. Other empires treat monsters as weapons. Rumours spread that an ancient mage bloodline may have resurfaced. Because their daughter, Ellie, has already done the impossible. She holds affinity for every element. While Elara fights to keep monsters and humans from open war, Thomas continues to cook, love, and quietly anchor the most dangerous woman in England — But she never realising the power in his blood, and the world changing power him and he's family poses. In a world of hidden kingdoms, sovereign magic, and political intrigue, love may be the most destabilising force of all. Because some queens rule through fear. Elara rules through restraint. And when restraint breaks, empires fall.

REBIRTH : Chasing The Limelight

Elara’s first life crashed hard. Cruel tricks ruined her name, broke her dreams, and turned the whole entertainment world against her. Friends betrayed her. Lovers sold her out. Everyone she trusted stabbed her in the back. The pain piled up until she felt trapped with no way out. One night, she couldn’t take it anymore. She walked to the river and ended it all in the cold, quiet water. Later, proof came out. Messages. Recordings. Everything showed she had been framed. People posted apologies online. But it was too late. She was already gone. The universe, though, clearly has a twisted sense of humor. Because somehow, Elara came back. She woke up in her own past, every awful memory still sharp in her head. Right then she made a promise she would never break: protect her gentle grandfather no matter what, and never let anyone push her to that dark place again. This time she steps into the entertainment world with her head high. She trains harder, sings better, fights smarter. The same people who once crushed her? Now they get to feel the pressure. Love? Not happening. Her heart is locked tight. But why is it that as she rises and shines brighter, handsome, powerful men start circling her—guys who never even glanced at her in her previous life were now hovering around her. The actor smiled at her during a press interview, leaned closer, and said softly, “We should have dinner sometime.” The footballer sent flowers so big they blocked her room door. The surgeon she met at a charity event checked her pulse and then forgot to let go of her wrist. The singer she collaborated with kept calling her name during rehearsals, as if the mic could not hear him well enough. Elara stared at the ceiling that night and sighed. She only wanted to sing. Why did everyone look like they wanted to adopt her, date her, or both? But the worst one came after the concert. The lights had just gone off. Her ears were still ringing. Sweat clung to her neck. She had barely stepped backstage when a shadow blocked her path. She looked up. The CEO of the greatest company in Aurelia stood there. The same man who once said her voice was “not worth investing in.” The same man who did not even know her name before rebirth. Now he held her wrist lightly, but firmly. “Let’s talk,” he said. Elara blinked. “About… sponsorship?” “No,” he replied calmly. “About marriage.” Her brain froze. “…What?” “I will give you everything,” he continued, as if asking for a glass of water. “Resources. Protection. Freedom to sing. Become my wife.” Elara stared at him, her mouth open, her thoughts running in circles. This was not how it was supposed to be. Why was the world now skipping steps? NB: This story takes place in a fictional world. Aurelia is a country. Solmere, Veston, and Starfall City are the three capital cities of Aurelia. Other cities, such as Lorien and Crelou, are smaller cities.

Reborn in the 90s: The Fat Girl’s System Blessed Life

Jiang Yanyan had it all in her previous life — beauty, talent, fame, and a promising future. But fate was cruel. One tragic accident snatched her life away, leaving her dreams unfinished and her heart shattered. When she awakens, it isn’t in the life she knew. She has transmigrated into the body of Liu Meilin, a fat, ridiculed girl living in a small 90s village, despised by neighbors, shunned by the boys she admired, and carrying a reputation that had once been her curse. Yet Yanyan is not the same girl. With memories, skills, and talents from her past life — as a chef, beauty queen, and fashion designer — and aided by a mysterious system with hidden powers, she sees the chance to rewrite not only her own destiny but the fate of the family who once struggled in poverty. She begins by healing her family, earning their love and loyalty, even from sisters-in-law who once despised her. She creates the most exquisite dishes in the community, builds a thriving food empire, and gradually transforms herself — proving that strength, charm, and beauty come in many forms. But power and beauty attract enemies. A vicious woman, obsessed with the male lead, seeks to destroy her, blaming her for false scandals and plotting murder. And the male lead — a mysterious, wealthy man from the city, living quietly in the countryside — struggles with jealousy, fearing he is too old and ordinary for her. Yet he loves her fiercely, trusts her fully, and fights for her when danger looms. Through heartbreak, gossip, rivalry, and triumph, Yanyan’s journey is one of courage, determination, and love. From the mud of her beginnings to the majesty of her empire, she will fight to claim happiness, loyalty, and a life she deserves. Will she rise above the hatred and challenges to find love, wealth, and family harmony? And when the story ends, with twins cradled in her arms and her family and lover by her side, Yanyan will prove that destiny can always be rewritten — even for the girl who was once despised.
