The war is over. Rosalie Vale's kingdom has lost. At twenty years old, Rosalie has already buried both of her parents and been left to raise her two year old brother, Leo, alone. Quiet, painfully shy, and frightened by the soldiers now occupying her home, Rosalie wants nothing more than to keep Leo safe and survive whatever comes next. Then Commander Lucan arrives. Powerful, ruthless when necessary, and accustomed to being obeyed, Lucan helped conquer Rosalie's kingdom. Now he has been given a far more complicated task: bring order to a land devastated by years of war and filled with people who have every reason to hate him. Lucan understands armies, strategy, and conquest. Rosalie understands the people left behind. She knows which families are starving, which children have been orphaned, which homes will not survive the winter, and who is too proud to ask for help. Her quiet knowledge soon makes her unexpectedly valuable to the commander she can barely bring herself to look in the eye. As winter approaches and resentment simmers beneath an uneasy peace, Rosalie finds herself drawn deeper into Lucan's world. And the more time Lucan spends with the shy young woman who fears him, the more difficult it becomes to ignore her. But Commander Lucan is keeping a secret. And when the truth finally comes to light, Rosalie will discover that the man she has begun to trust is far more closely tied to the kingdom that conquered hers than she ever imagined. He knows how to conquer a territory. She knows how to keep one alive. And the war may be over, but living among the conquered has only just begun. 📚 SERIES INFORMATION Both books are included in this same Wattpad story, so you can continue reading straight through without switching to a separate story.

The Second Wife Refuses to Lie Flat, Fighting at Her Way to Becoming In Everyone's Favorite Author: 咸鱼头子 Xian Yu Tou Zi [A beautiful, wealthy, and spoiled second wife vs. a rigid, taciturn, and unconventional powerful minister] [Both partners are virgins + an ancient version of arranged marriage leading to love + an old house on fire + personality and age gap] Jiang Yao, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in Jinling, married the head of the Pei family in the capital as his second wife at the age of eighteen. A woman from a humble background marrying into a wealthy family, and being a second wife, was not favored by anyone; everyone was waiting to see her fail. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao maintained her unrestrained personality even after marriage. I sleep until I naturally wake up every day; the custom of morning and evening self-reflection doesn't exist! Beautiful jewelry? She took it with a wave of her hand! Exquisite and precious fabrics? She wanted them all! The power to manage the household affairs? She'll take it if she wants! In short, Jiang Yao got what she wanted. As for dissatisfaction? Well, just keep it to yourself. At worst, we can just part ways and get a divorce. Who says that being a second wife means having to be subservient, weak, and repressed? Jiang Yao's arrival turned the Pei family, which had been stagnant for many years, into chaos. She had assumed that her entire family would have wanted to kick her out long ago. Unexpectedly, one day after an argument with her husband, Jiang Yao proposed a divorce. Immediately afterwards, her mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law all arrived, threw their bundles at her husband's feet, and said to her: You stay, he leaves! Jiang Yao: ? Pei Zheng: ? ? (The FL is a sassy and cool woman, which is rare for an ancient-era setting. Her interactions with the ML are sweet and funny.)

Beneath the Beaumont Manor, hidden far below the stone floors and candlelit halls, there lived a beast. For years it had been chained within the darkness. It snarled, clawed, and fought with a fury that no man could tame. The servants feared it. The guards cursed it. Even the lord of the manor believed it was nothing more than a monster. Yet there was one soul it never bared its teeth to. Charlotte Beaumont. The youngest daughter of the Beaumont family descended into the dungeon without fear, carrying nothing more than a lantern and a small basket of bread. While others saw a monster, she saw a pair of lonely amber eyes staring back through the darkness. Each time she came, the beast crept a little closer. Its savage growls softened into quiet rumbles. Its bloodstained claws no longer reached to kill but to linger near her. The monstrous tail that had once lashed with rage began to sway whenever she appeared. It waited for her. Day after day. Year after year. The beast grew stronger. Its shoulders broadened, its claws sharpened, and the chains that bound it groaned beneath its growing strength. One by one, the iron shackles began to crack. The Beaumonts believed the dungeon could hold their monster forever. They were wrong.

Known for his violent temper, brutal fights, and cold personality, people stayed far away from him for a reason. At twenty-four years old, Zane had already built a reputation for himself both inside and outside the cage. Covered in tattoos with intimidating olive-green eyes and a dangerous attitude, he was the type of man parents warned their daughters about. And honestly? They were right to. But Zane never cared what anyone thought about him. He hated feelings, avoided attachments, and had no interest in love. Until he saw her, Amara Yves. The soft-spoken nineteen-year-old girl who showed up at one of his matches with her friend. With dark doe eyes, long black curls, and the sweetest smile he had ever seen, Amara was everything Zane wasn't. Gentle. Feminine. Innocent. The kind of girl who spent her time reading books, drinking iced coffee, and seeing good in everyone. She was too soft for his world. And the worst part? Zane couldn't stay away from her. For the first time in his life, he wanted something he knew he would ruin. The more he pushed her away, the more obsessed he became. Because no matter how dangerous he was... Amara made him feel human again. But monsters don't deserve soft girls. And Zane Galanis knew better than anyone that loving him came with consequences. To the world, he was dangerous. To her, he was just Zane. He spent his whole life fighting everyone around him. Until he met the girl who made him fight himself instead. Starting date - May 14th, 2026
