He was never meant to be mine. But when fate gave me a way in, I stayed. Alexander Kensington was born with everything, wealth, grace, legacy. But beneath the perfection lies ruin. A past no one sees. Scars no one touches. A soul quietly unraveling. When his twin sister vanishes days before her arranged marriage, Alexander is forced to take her place, an act of duty that sends him straight into the orbit of Atlas King. Dangerous. Unforgiving. Trapped in a world of violence and shadows. Atlas was never supposed to want him but Alexander was never supposed to feel like home. What begins as cold tension turns into something far more devastating. A slow, aching pull neither of them can escape. In stolen moments and fractured nights, two men learn to choose each other over and over again, even when the world demands they don't. But love, like ruin, leaves its mark and some scars were made to be worshipped.

Fashion and violence. Two things that Julius Arhan enjoyed the most. But being a rising fashion designer wasn't easy, especially when he was living a double life. And if that wasn't enough, he was set for a brand collaboration. Which should have been simple. The issue? The other brand in question was owned by none other than the infamous, ruthless CEO and heiress, Raylene Onte. Intimidating and cutthroat. Two words that describe Raylene Onte precisely. A tyrannical business queen, heiress to the Onte business empire and newly instated CEO. Her footsteps inspired fear and her glare sent grown men to their knees. She was nothing if not persistent. And when she wanted something, it was going to be hers. One way or another. She may just be a she-wolf with a very keen appetite for a jumpy rabbit (who secretly thirsts for blood).

In his former life, Sun Bohai was an omega who couldn't reproduce. Since society believed that an omega's only function was to reproduce, it was genuinely ironic. It was found that his hormones were the source of the issues. He suffered from PCOS, a condition that disrupts hormone balance. He was a highly rare case and couldn't be healed since PCOS was common among betas but rare among omegas. Because hormones were like a live source for omega, his health soon declined, and he passed away on a rainy day alone. He thought he had died, but instead, he woke up in the body of Luo Xiu, a ger in ancient china. Luo Xiu had just married over as a second wife and a stepmother. But before he even had the time to panic a system suddenly introduced himself. With no choice, he could only accept and move forward for both his and the children's survival. With the father absent, the paternal family ignorant, and Sun Bohai who was like an alien in ancient china how will they survive? Cover done by: @Veleon
