Wuthering Heights Reimagined: Blackthorn Estate ......The storm bowed before Blackthorn Estate. Lightning split the sky, revealing its jagged silhouette against the city. Elara Vale stepped through the iron gates, and the wind curled around her ankles like a living thing, whispering secrets she had once refused to hear. She has returned. Seven years ago, she had fled barefoot and bleeding from these walls. Love had clawed at her chest, consuming her, suffocating her, and she had sworn never to return. Not to Lucien. Not to the Estate. Not to the curse braided through the Blackthorn bloodline. Yet here she was. The doors opened without touch, and Lucien Blackthorn waited at the top of the grand staircase. He was framed in candlelight and lightning, his eyes storm-dark and unyielding. Recognition, not surprise, glimmered in his gaze. "Elara," he said. She whispered, "You summoned me." "No," he murmured, descending slowly, predator-like. "You were called home. The Estate never forgets who belongs to it." Her pulse betrayed her. "You've changed." "Only to match you," he said. Memories clawed through her mind: the moors behind the Estate where they ran barefoot as children, fingers brushing, laughter turning to whispered confessions. The nights in the hidden library, where his hands had once trembled against hers. The fire they had set together in the courtyard, laughing as the smoke rose toward the storm-heavy sky. The Estate seemed to remember, shivering with anticipation. "I warned you," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "This place... it will consume you." He stepped closer. "Then let it. I have waited for you for years. Every moment you were gone, the Estate and I have only grown hungrier." Her breath caught. "We can't survive this." "We won't," he admitted. "But we will burn together."

What will happen when these two personalities collide? What will happen when they meet each other? Will they fall in love or not? And if they fall in love, will society accept their relationship?

"Calm down, just calm down." He thought to himself as he tried to even out his labored breathing, it it seems to just have made it worse. His breathing became shorter and harder causing him to clutch his chest as the bitter December air seemed to attack his throat. "Jairo." A soft voice rang out, though his head was still pounding. It caught his attention, "Jairo, you have to calm down, take deep breathes. I promise you're okay." He didn't feel okay though, it wasn't working. "I'm trying." He gasped clenching his eyes shut, he balled up his fist hitting his chest before falling to the ground. Suddenly he stopped, everything stopped.

One fateful New Years Eve dared to change the course of his life for the better, and for the first time in his life he just might let it.

The Imperfect Perfectionist In the heart of Beijing's Imperial City stood a palace of gold and silence - home to the royal family and their centuries-old traditions. Behind those glittering walls, duty often triumphed over desire, and love was a luxury reserved for commoners. Asher, the second young master of the royal house, was the very image of perfection. With his sculpted features, aristocratic composure, and razor-sharp intellect, he was admired by all - and envied by many. Yet beneath the flawless façade lay a secret that even the palace walls dared not whisper: a rare, debilitating illness slowly consuming his strength. No doctor in the empire had found a cure. That was until the Queen Dowager - a woman as mischievous as she was wise - devised a plan that would shock the court. Her solution was unconventional, even scandalous: a marriage. Erica Lin, a lively, clumsy, and outspoken young woman from a humble background, had what Asher needed - a rare blood type that could save his life. To her, the idea of marrying a prince sounded like a fairytale... until she actually met him. Cold, precise, and impossibly serious, Asher was everything she wasn't. Still, a contract was signed. A royal wedding was arranged. And an unexpected chapter began. On the day of the ceremony, the Imperial City held its breath. Dressed in silk and trembling nerves, Erica tripped on her gown, stumbled into a candelabra, and managed to topple the wedding cake - all before saying "I do." The royal court gasped. Asher's lips tightened. The Queen Dowager chuckled from her throne. A marriage built on necessity, not love. A perfectionist prince and a hopelessly imperfect bride. He needed her to live. She needed him to survive. But as the walls of the palace closed around them, and as laughter clashed with silence, one question began to haunt them both: Can a marriage born from a contract ever become something real? To find out,
