When Jiang Yanyi, heiress to a traditional hotpot family, opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated into an ancient romance novel as the villainous supporting character. After framing the female lead, she was exiled to a border military camp, where she was treated as mere entertainment for the soldiers. Touching the scar on her forehead left by the original character's attempt to escape, Jiang Yanyi quietly picked up a cooking ladle. As a minor character, she figured she had no need to follow the main plot. The soldiers in the Western Zhou military camp all said that the new cook's skills were unparalleled. The noodles she made could be eaten dry or, with a bit of hot water, became a delicious bowl of soup-essential for soldiers on the move! Jiang Yanyi: "No, this is just instant noodles." The tea she brewed had bubbles rising from it, a slightly sweet aftertaste, and even a hint of strong alcohol. Jiang Yanyi: "No, this is cola!" The hotpot she prepared had a red broth with ingredients from the land, sea, and sky that could be thrown in to cook-its taste was divine! Jiang Yanyi: "... This is really just a common hotpot from the modern world." The fiancΓ© who once broke off their engagement wanted to rekindle their relationship, but the famously ruthless King of Liaonan, Feng Shuo, threw his spear and declared, "Back off, this is my wife!"

Four brothers. One legacy. And a storm of secrets that refuses to stay buried. They were born into a world where power is currency and silence is survival. Raised to command, trained never to flinch - they rule the city's shadows like kings. Each of them carries a darkness no one dares to name. Each of them guards his heart like a fortress built from fire and ice. And none of them were meant to fall in love. But love never asked for permission. Now, secrets are cracking, loyalties are bleeding, and the rules they once lived by are starting to break - all because of the women who refused to be silent, obedient, or forgotten. This isn't about happy endings. It's about control, chaos... and what's left when nothing else remains. *** Warning *** Mature content, violence and intense novel

When tragedy steals the only protector she had left, eighteen- year- old Evara becomes both sister and parent to her little stepbrother. Searching for a fresh start-and for a way to feel closer to the parents they lost-they travel to Jaipur, the land of their father's beginnings... and the place where her mother's past first began to unravel. Hidden from the world by a single choice, Evara has always known the truth: the name of the man who fathered her... and why she must never step into his world. One decision made long ago ensured she would remain a secret. Invisible. Untouchable. Unknown. Evara intends to keep it that way. Her mother's choice protected her from a powerful family whose blood runs in her veins-and protect the family she grew away from, who would break if the truth of her existence ever came to light. But what she doesn't know is that the past she's avoiding has been desperately trying to find her. Her biological father and his wife have spent years searching for the woman they wronged-hoping for redemption, forgiveness, and a chance to set things right. And somewhere in the struggle to find normalcy again, destinies collide, family secrets rise, and Evara must choose between the life she's always known... and the one that's been waiting for her.

Seven names. Seven empires. One unshakable legacy. For generations, the Crown Families have ruled the top of Thailand's business elite - tech, energy, finance, fashion, medicine, logistics, media. Their children? Born into power, raised in luxury, expected to lead. But what the world sees is only half the story. Behind the camera flashes and perfect reputations lie whispered secrets, forbidden love, quiet rebellion... and now, a threat no one saw coming. Someone wants the Crown broken. Not through war. Not through business. But through the heirs themselves. Lies. Scandals. Sabotage. One by one, the heirs are being dragged into chaos - their names, their legacies, their futures on the line. In a world where loyalty is currency and trust is dangerous, will the next generation rise... or fall? This time, it's not just about the family name. It's about survival.
