Claimed by the Villainous Sorcerer

Lucian is a sorcerer exiled within a legendary comic. He is not a good man, yet he is not entirely evil either. The loss of the entire Vaelcrest clan trapped him in a long-standing vengeance that refuses to fade. One day, a girl purchases an old comic book from a forgotten shop. Without realizing it, she reads a hidden spell written between its pages. And when the book is eventually abandoned on a dusty shelf once more, Lucian Vaelcrest steps out of it. What he does not know is that the world he has entered is no longer one of mist-covered forests and grand sorcerers — but a modern world ruled by towering cities and power driven by wealth. --- Years pass, and Lucian learns quickly. This world may not understand magic, but it understands power — and he understands how to wield it. With his intelligence and the remnants of his magic, he builds his own empire, transforming himself into a billionaire feared and respected by many. Yet his vengeance remains unfinished. A sealing spell still binds his soul, blocking his path back to his world and concealing the truth about who destroyed the Vaelcrest clan. Until one night, he crosses paths with a girl auctioned off by her own family to powerful conglomerates. Her name is Aerys Luneth. A girl who always smiles brightly. Seemingly naïve. Seemingly foolish. Seemingly fragile. But beneath that innocence lies a sharp survival instinct. Aerys does whatever she must to keep herself from breaking under the weight of the world pressing down on her. At first, Lucian intends to buy her as nothing more than part of his plan. Because there is something about her. Something that feels… familiar. Something that resonates with the sealed magic within him. The closer Lucian gets to her, the stronger the locked magic begins to react. And the more he realizes one terrifying truth: Aerys Luneth was never part of his plan. She is the key. The key to breaking the seal. The key to returning to his world. Or perhaps… the key to destroying everything. Torn between vengeance and emotions he has never allowed himself to feel, Lucian must make a choice. Will he use Aerys to avenge the destruction of his clan? Or will he protect the only light capable of warming the heart of a villainous sorcerer born from the pages of a comic? Because this time, he is not the one claiming fate. Fate is the one claiming him.

Little Moon Of The Red Pavilion

In the heart of the capital stands the Red Pavilion, the most beautiful and infamous courtesan house of the empire. Within its crimson halls lives Qin Yuehuang, a quiet young man born to a legendary courtesan who died giving him life. Raised among silk, music, and whispered desires, he grows up belonging to a world that was never meant for someone like him. But Yuehuang carries a secret no one knows. On nights when the moon rules the sky during the full moon and the new moon he becomes Yuehua, a breathtaking courtesan whose beauty captivates the entire dynasty. Yet unlike all others, Yuehua never allows a man to touch her, never performs for anyone, and remains wrapped in mystery. The capital is obsessed with her, but none can claim her. Before the Spring Festival, fate shifts. In the daylight world, Qin Yuehuang encounters the gentle and intelligent Crown Prince, and an unexpected bond begins to bloom between two lonely souls. But that same night, under lanterns and moonlight, Yuehua crosses paths with a ruthless and powerful General of Flame City, a man feared across the empire and a dangerous spark ignites. Two men. Two identities. One heart caught between love, lies, and destiny. As both men fall for different faces of the same person, Yuehuang is pulled into a web of forbidden desire, hidden truths, and a past far darker than the Red Pavilion itself. Behind his beauty lies a secret that could shake the dynasty… and destroy everyone who loves him.
