North, Ter, Phoon, and Dao are four boys stitched together by shared pain-broken homes, emotional scars, and the quiet understanding that no one was coming to save them. Fresh out of high school and desperate for freedom, they run south, chasing distance from their pasts and a paycheck big enough to buy them a future. Their refuge? A luxurious golf-and-beach resort where survival comes in the form of tips, overtime, and biting sarcasm. Enter the Dragon Heirs. Johan, Hill, Arthit, and Tonfah-infamous, obscenely rich, and untouchable. The heirs to the country's most powerful empire are worshipped and feared in equal measure. Resort staff whisper about them like urban legends: rude, ruthless, and dangerously cruel. Everyone avoids them. Everyone-except four broke, traumatized boys who desperately need tuition money. Unlike the rest, North and his friends couldn't care less about family empires or terrifying reputations. To them, the Dragon Heirs aren't monsters-they're walking ATMs. Whether it's enduring verbal abuse as caddies, driving them around like unpaid therapists, serving drinks while being flirted with and insulted in the same breath, or simply standing there looking pretty enough to earn a tip, they take it all with a forced smile and a sharp tongue. Fear doesn't pay for college-but sarcasm might. When a runaway, problematic gang collides with four spoiled, power-drunk young masters, chaos is inevitable. Insults turn into banter. Power plays turn into lingering looks. Somewhere between arguments, accidental confessions, and very inappropriate tension, something dangerous starts to bloom. Is it just chaos? Or is it romance-loud, messy, ridiculous romance-threatening to ruin all of them in the best way possible?

Seven names. Seven empires. One unshakable legacy. For generations, the Crown Families have ruled the top of Thailand's business elite - tech, energy, finance, fashion, medicine, logistics, media. Their children? Born into power, raised in luxury, expected to lead. But what the world sees is only half the story. Behind the camera flashes and perfect reputations lie whispered secrets, forbidden love, quiet rebellion... and now, a threat no one saw coming. Someone wants the Crown broken. Not through war. Not through business. But through the heirs themselves. Lies. Scandals. Sabotage. One by one, the heirs are being dragged into chaos - their names, their legacies, their futures on the line. In a world where loyalty is currency and trust is dangerous, will the next generation rise... or fall? This time, it's not just about the family name. It's about survival.

When the Kingdom of Daegu faces the threat of war from the powerful Kingdom of Seoul, King Kim Daeho has no choice but to ask the Kingdom of Busan for help. The ruthless and intelligent 28 year old, Alpha King Jeon Jungkook rules Busan, and his mother, the Queen dowager, agrees to aid Daegu on one brutal condition: Daegu's omega princess, Kim Jisoo, must marry Jungkook. Daeho agrees, and the deal is set. But on the day of the wedding, Kim Jisoo elopes with her royal guard, humiliating Jungkook. Furious, Jungkook demands vengeance, but Daeho begs for mercy, offering his other omega child-his youngest son Kim Taehyung. Though 18-year-old, Taehyung's mind remains that of a 4-year-old, weakened by a brain fever he had when he was 15. With no way out and pride on the line, both kingdoms agree to the union. Thus, the innocent and fragile 18-year-old Kim Taehyung is forcibly married to the 28-year-old Jeon Jungkook, who sees him as nothing but a burden and digust. Alone in a merciless kingdom, Taehyung must find a way to survive under a ruthless husband who despises him and also bear the heir of Jeon clan.

The first rule of Janggi was simple- protect the king at all costs. Namjoon had lived by that rule since he was fifteen, since the night his father's body turned cold. Every move he made, every piece he sacrificed, was to ensure one thing- his family's survival. And now, Kim Seokjin was just another piece on his board. The wedding wasn't a celebration. There were no flowers, no soft whispers of love. Just an exchange of rings under the dim glow of a chandelier, watched by men who carried guns instead of blessings. Jin's face was unreadable, but Namjoon saw the defiance in his eyes. A king without a kingdom, a man forced into a game he never wanted to play. But Namjoon wasn't looking for a willing groom. He was looking for revenge. He leaned in close, his voice a quiet threat. "You owe me a big time, Seokjin" Jin didn't flinch. He met Namjoon's gaze and whispered, "You're playing the wrong game, Namjoon. I'm not a piece-you just handed me the power to destroy you." For the first time in years, Namjoon almost smiled. Let the game begin. ----------------------------------- Themes: Mafia | Revenge | Power Struggles | Omegaverse | Betrayal | Healing Tropes: - Mafia x Doctor - Forced Marriage - Forced Proximity - Slow Burn - Enemies to Lovers - Possessive & Morally Grey Top - Healing Through Love Important Notice: Bound by Vengeance is NOT a standalone-it is part of an interconnected trilogy.

(Completed) A blind prince was never meant to be chosen. A demon king was never meant to love. In an ancient empire where sacrifices keep the world intact, Lian Feng is offered to the underworld, not because he is powerful, but because no one believes he is useful. Blind, gentle, and devoted to his plants, he expects his fate to be quiet, brief, and forgotten. Instead, the Demon King chooses him. Feared by gods and mortals alike, the towering ruler of the underworld claims Lian as his bride and refuses to give him back. What begins as a ritual sacrifice becomes something far more dangerous: a bond forged through trust, tenderness, and quiet defiance. As Lian learns to navigate a realm of shadows through sound, scent, and intuition, he discovers that monsters are not always cruel, and that being held by one might be the safest place of all. With jealous demon lords, ancient prophecies, spirit guardians, and a love powerful enough to shake entire realms, To Be Held by a Monster is a dark fantasy BL romance about choosing softness in a world that worships fear. ⚠️ Note: In this book, romance only develops when characters are 18+. Any earlier dynamics are purely guardian protectiveness and are not romantic. ⚠️ EDITOR'S NOTE ⚠️ This book is currently under editing. 🏆 Rankings & Achievements 🥇 #1 (Fluffy) - 17/02/2026 🥇 #1 (Demons) - 03/02/2026 🥇 #1 (Ancient) - 02/02/2026 🥇 #1 (Monsters) - 20/01/2026 🥇 #1 (MxM) - 24/01/2026 🥈 #2 (Monster Romance) - 21/01/2026 #7 (MxM) - 03/02/2026 #14 (Blind) - 21/01/2026
