Xue Ning's entire family died in battle. She grew up in the Marquis of Xuanyi's household and deeply adored Su Zhan, the heir who had grown up with her since childhood. With a cup of spring wine laced with something extra, she fulfilled her wish and became his wife. Later, Su Zhan rose to become the all-powerful Grand Secretary. The two of them appeared respectful and harmonious, and were once considered one of the rare love stories in the capital. Everyone said that she, an orphaned girl, was blessed to marry such a man. Only she knew how many lonely, silent nights she endured alone. He had a "white moonlight" he loved but could never obtain-and he had never loved her. Because she had once offered herself to him, he despised her. So he sent her away to an old country estate for five years. She sent letter after letter back to the capital, but none were ever answered. Helpless and alone, she was eventually burned alive in a fire set by others, dying with hatred in her heart. ... After being reborn, the first thing Xue Ning did was overturn the cup of spring wine that had originally been prepared for Su Zhan. Then, she carefully chose a fiancé for herself. At a family banquet, with relatives gathered, Xue Ning walked up to Su Zhan, her arm hooked around her fiancé's. "Grand Secretary, this is my fiancé. Please look after him in the future." The always cold and restrained Grand Secretary instead began to crumble, his eyes red: "Xue Ning... I was the one who knew you first!" *Original Translation* ©All Rights reserved

The flames consumed her-body and soul. Betrayed by the man who swore to love her and the friend who pretended to kneel at her feet, Tang Min died with a heart full of venom and eyes burning with unspent vengeance. But fate is a cruel and whimsical thing. It gave her death. And then-it gave her revenge. Reborn from the ashes of her past life, Tang Min returns with a smile sharper than any blade. The world that once discarded her will now tremble at her feet. She plays the game of thrones with a serpent's grace, turning her enemies' schemes against them, watching as they unravel in the very traps they set for her. And then-he appears. A prince wrapped in shadows, a wolf hiding in silk. The world sees a nobleman of quiet restraint, but Tang Min recognizes the hunger in his gaze-the same fire that burns in her. He wants power. He wants the throne. But most of all... he wants her. And for her? He would conquer kingdoms. Together, they are a storm the world cannot withstand. This is not a story of forgiveness. This is a story of fire. And the world will burn. A/n 🌸 HUI SAYS "HI!!!" 🌸 "LET'S LEARN & LOVE TOGETHER!" (╥﹏╥)✧ "HIIIII~ THIS STORY IS MY WHOLE HEART...

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK
