Matthew Wild is not the sole offspring of the Duke and Duchess of Canterbury. His sister, Katharina, affectionately known as Kathy among close circles, is a cherished member of the family, and Matthew holds a protective stance over her. However, when Kathy and their family receive invitations to a prestigious three-night ball, the occasion takes on a unique significance: it's an opportunity for the prince to select a new bride.

"𝑰𝒕'𝒔 𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕 𝒂 𝒃𝒂𝒅 𝒃𝒐𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒌𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒌𝒆 𝒂 𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒎𝒂𝒏" 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒔𝒌 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒍𝒊𝒑?" She thought she had her life figured out. A quiet job in a quiet town, a routine that never hurt, and a heart too careful to fall for anyone too fast. But then he walked in. The new hire. Mysterious. Impossibly attractive. He had the smile of a gentleman and the presence of a man who'd burn the world to keep your attention. He said all the right things. Held doors. Knew how to make her laugh. And when he looked at her-it felt like she was the only girl in the universe. But love, she learns, can be blinding. And not all monsters hide in shadows. Some wear suits. Some call you "baby." Some hold you like you're a prayer-then break you like a curse. Because he has secrets. Dark ones. Dangerous ones. The kind of truths that can't be buried without blood. So now the real question is... Will she uncover who he truly is-before it's too late? Can love survive when it's soaked in lies and obsession? And when she finally sees the monster behind the man... Will she run? Or will she stay?

He says he'd burn the world for her. She never expected him to mean it. Evelyn thought she knew what danger looked like-cold, sharp, and far away. Not quiet hands brushing her hair behind her ear. Not a voice that could break her with one whisper. Damien Blackwell is power, secrets, and obsession wrapped in a tailored suit. Everyone fears him. She should, too. But instead, she finds herself drawn to him-captivated by the way he softens only for her. Until the lies start unraveling. A stalker. A warning. A photo soaked in blood and truth. Now, Evelyn is forced to question everything-how much Damien has protected her... and how much he's destroyed to keep her. But loving a man like him comes at a cost. And she's already in too deep to run. "I don't care if you hate me. Just let me hold you while you fall apart." • Obsession doesn't always look like madness-sometimes, it looks like love. • He'd kill to protect her. He already has. • She became his weakness. And he became her ruin. • In his world, love is possession-and she's his favorite sin. (Currently writing and Editing so the story details can change at anytime.

Yue Xin was a genius. A dreamer who danced between mathematics and art, chasing the impossible. His final creation was meant to preserve consciousness itself... until the experiment killed him. Or so he thought. When he wakes again, it isn't in his world. It's in the cold body of Zhao Yuexin - the Sixth Prince of an empire that doesn't even remember his name. A child discarded. A prince exiled to silence. A life meant to wither in the shadows. But Yue Xin doesn't do silence. With a crooked grin and a mind sharper than any blade, he decides to rewrite the game. Porridge becomes rebellion. Smiles become weapons. Schemes become his favorite pastime. Every corridor of the palace hides enemies, but every enemy is just another chance to play. The nobles whisper. His brothers sneer. Even the emperor looks past him. But little by little, the forgotten prince carves his place into their eyes - not with obedience, but with laughter, charm, and chaos. And then, there's him. Wei Riyuan - the Crown Prince of another empire. Cold, disciplined, untouchable. Until Yue Xin's mischief forces his steady sun to collide with his restless moon.
