With pressures mounting from the South and a marriage alliance looming over his head, he cannot afford a liability, least of all in his queen. Behind deceptive obedience and calculated subterfuge, Nyeve must play her role as she navigates an enemy palace that would gladly swallow her whole. In the Sun Court, she is a guileless flower - soft, harmless, easily weeded out. That is what she needs them to believe. Because when the Sun falls, the Stars will follow suit. ✦ For fans of The Bridge Kingdom and The Winner's Curse. This is an original story.

@im_a_demidork I AM SUEING YOU WHY, YOU MAY ASK?? Because you wanted me to :D

(JEON JUNGKOOK FANFICTION) ADMIST THE CHAOS, THERE WAS YOU. AMONG THE STRANGERS IT WAS YOUR FACE I FELT THE MOST FAMILIAR TO.... YOU ARE MY RUIN AND YOU ARE MY SALVATION, MY LOVE...... He's heart pacing, the heavy royal robes suddenly looking entirely too big for the raw, desperate energy radiating off him. He stops right in front of her, his eyes wild and completely stripped of any royal dignity. With sharp, breathless laugh, "You think I'm playing a game? My whole life before this, before everything....I was a doll on a stage. I was handled, managed, and told that caring about someone was a liability. I wasn't allowed to love anyone. Taken aback by his sudden intensity, stepping into his space, Chae-won started "Your Majesty-" Grabbing her forearms, his grip tight and desperate he continued "No, just listen. For the first time in my existence, I actually have the freedom to just...feel. I can love whoever the hell I want. And out of everyone in this godforsaken palace, I never fucking believed it would be you." Her breath catches, staring at the one who was again talking in foreign words but her eyes filled with passion, " Yi Hwan..." He drops his forehead against hers, his voice cracking "You're the Queen. Loving you is political suicide. It's going to completely ruin me, it's going to tear this whole court apart, and I don't even care. You are my absolute doom, Chae-won, and I'm still going to choose you." RANKINGS: #1 - JOSEON #1 - ROYAL #3 - RUINS #3 - FIGHT TO DEATH

De la sensibilité d'un esprit brisé à l'humiliation d'une identité oubliée naquis une main tendue.

The inhabitants of a midwestern town play out their parts in the judicial system as defendants, defense attorneys, prosecutors and judges, by day. By night they live their lives as they inhabit their roles as residents of Twin Lakes County.

Vaelthorn's royal court throws its wildest parties to forget the rot creeping under the throne. But the real show belongs to the Periphery, a troupe of performers who turn every night into something unforgettable-and dangerous. The star is the Masked Performer, that porcelain-faced mystery no one has ever seen unmasked. Her dances look like art, but they're something else: quiet rituals that bleed the life out of the kingdom while her hidden followers sharpen their knives for the king. With her comes the Tightrope Walker, slipping across threads of nothing like a spider on silk, the Dreamweaver who can turn your sleep into the best night of your life or a nightmare you never wake from, and the Candle Maker, selling strange tapers at secret markets-light one and you live someone else's joy, grief, or full-blown madness for a while. Maren, a cartographer's daughter who's spent her life tracing old maps of forgotten corners, shouldn't even be there that night. She sneaks in on a whim, expecting pretty lights and tricks. Instead she sees the cracks: the way the mask seems to watch back, the threads pulling tighter overhead, the dreams that don't fade when you open your eyes. Suddenly she's caught in their game, where every bow and whisper pulls her deeper into a web of revenge and secrets that could bring the whole kingdom down.

After watching his pregnant wife and unborn twins die before his eyes, Crown Prince Jian succumbs to poison and awakens nine months in the past. Armed with memories of a future that ended in tragedy, Jian begins hunting the enemies who destroyed his family. But the more he changes the past, the more the future changes with it. Plots he remembers never occur. New enemies emerge from the shadows. Old allies behave differently. And the path that once led to death begins unraveling into something he no longer recognizes. This time Jian refuses to lose. But saving the future may prove far more dangerous than reliving it.

❝THE THRONE WHERE HE SITS, IS HERS BY BIRTHRIGHT.❞ Keres Azrail, firstborn daughter of the Azrail royal family - has been banished. Shunned and blamed for the destruction of Mount Irakli, Keres is furious at the turn of events - everything that she worked and trained for the entirety of her life, taken, all under the pretenses of her brother's scorn. She will not be thrown aside as he takes her place; in fact, Keres vows to come back and become sempiternal - at the throne, right where she belongs. ©winterelegy, 2026

In his previous life, Wu Zehua, the abandoned Ninth Prince, was known across the empire as a ruthless war prince whose brilliance on the battlefield nearly secured him the throne. Feared for his cold composure and terrifying military prowess, he ultimately abandoned political ambition after falling in love with a scholar, provoking the disappointment of the emperor and allowing another prince to inherit the empire instead. Jin Jiuqiu, the Third Son of the General's household, first met the quiet prince at the age of ten during the selection of imperial study companions. Captivated by the prince's distant nature and ethereal beauty, Jiuqiu carried that silent affection throughout his youth. But before he could confess, war separated them. Years later, after misunderstandings, missed chances, and unbearable longing, Jiuqiu arrived only in time to witness Zehua leap from a cliff following the death of the prince's beloved. Unable to let him go, Jiuqiu leapt after him. Death, however, was not the end. Reborn once more into his ten-year-old body, Jiuqiu awakens at the beginning of their story, determined to prevent the tragedy of the previous life. But the moment he reunites with Zehua, he realizes something is terribly wrong. This version of the Ninth Prince is different. Gone is the ambitious war hero destined to shake the empire. Instead, Zehua quietly allows Jiuqiu close, smiles at him for the first time, and later withdraws entirely from politics after returning from war, isolating himself within a secluded lotus courtyard while the rest of the palace tears itself apart. Somewhere beneath white robes, painted faces, drifting flower petals, and green butterflies lies a truth capable of overturning both the empire and the hearts of two men bound together across lifetimes.

Felix wakes up on a dull morning in January and his world is in order. He is an idol. He is a beta. He is male. These are basic facts, ones that have been constant and steady in his life for years now. He's been this way since he was born and moving to Korea, going through the sheer hell that was debut, and everything else that he's done in the last three years has not changed them. There are other facts he knows. He is not in a pack with his members. He is not part of their world, with dynamics and secondary genders. He does not have a Prime Alpha in Bang Chan. Changbin is not his Second, Minho and Jisung are not his omegas, and Hyunjin, Seungmin, and Jeongin are not his alphas. He absolutely isn't a member of their pack. Sometimes, he might make out with a few of them but that's a secret. He might be in love with Bang Chan but that's also a secret. He might desperately want to be part of that life but that... that's a secret. But the old gods are watching. And they do not like secrets at all. Felix has been living a half life for too long. Time is ticking and Felix cannot outrun nature forever. [OT8, A/B/O universe]
