    In the treacherous golden corridors of an imperial palace, fifteen-year-old Amani, a Black concubine from the Western Borderlands, arrived carrying the last thing her mother touched before she died resisting the men who came to take her. Gifted to Crown Prince Wei Zhenting as a diplomatic offering, she was cataloged before she was named and reduced to inventory before she was seen as a person. In a court where survival demanded not beauty but cunning, she learned quickly that everyone she grew to love was in danger precisely because she loved them. Wei Zhenting, seventeen and carved from ice and duty, prepared for his ascension to the Dragon Throne. At the same time, bound to Princess Liu Feiyan, his sixteen-year-old wife, whose elegance concealed both ruthless intelligence and blood already on her hands. As festivals glittered with false cheer and every smile concealed a dagger, Amani navigated treacherous alliances, deadly rivalries, and the slow, dangerous thaw of a prince who once, at her lowest moment, calculated her survival as a political question rather than a human one. The palace did not break Amani. It changed her. And by the time the Emperor died and the Dragon Throne was reborn, she did not entirely recognize the woman looking back at her from the mirror. Across this complete saga, forbidden desire collided with imperial duty, births reshaped destinies, and one foreign woman's quiet strength proved more powerful than the throne itself.

    "Congratulations on the new role, Mas Tony. But tell me... why take it? Was it just for the optics? Or was it purely viral-based? Since when did you join the circle?" Tony's voice remained a steady anchor. "The President asked. I didn't have the luxury of saying no." Without a word, Mayang flipped open her laptop, revealing a grim mosaic of data. "The logging in Bukit Barisan, the flawed concessions, the shell companies used by forest barons-" Tony exhaled, the words slipping out before he could weigh them. "Yes, I know... this is about deforestation, isn't it?" He regretted it the moment it left his lips. The air shifted. Mayang's gaze ignited with a cold fire; he had just oversimplified her life's work. She didn't lash out. Instead, she looked at the sweet cake on his plate. With a movement so graceful-reminiscent of a leading lady in a high-society wedding scene-Mayang took the plate, cut a small piece, and lifted the fork to Tony's mouth. Tony froze. Detesting a scene, he played along. He accepted the cake. The sweetness flooded his palate, but the atmosphere remained frigid. "Do you like it?" Mayang asked, her tone soft, her eyes like ice. "Yes... it's sweet." "Sweet?" Mayang set the plate down. "Do you have diabetes, Mas?" "No. Why?" Mayang leaned in, locking her eyes onto his. "What you are about to do is treat a small scrape with expensive medicine, while ignoring a chronic case of diabetes. The crimes of the forest barons upstream-that is the disease that will rot the entire body before it kills it. If you are only here to heal the scrape, you aren't an architect of resilience." She paused, her voice a sharp blade. "You're just the clean-up crew they hired to sanitize their conscience." Tony went still. The sweetness in his mouth turned to ash. He realized then: the woman across from him wasn't just a stubborn activist. She was the fusion of integrity and raw power he desperately needed to survive the storm. Happy Reading!

    Title: Even If I'm Cursed Genre: Fantasy Romance / Folklore Tragedy Tone: Whimsical, romantic, tragic-but-beautiful Setting: An Eastern-European inspired kingdom with deep woods, frozen lakes, and old magic Plot Summary: He said he'd love her forever... but the forest had other plans. When Luka, a peasant violinist with dreams too big for his village, enters the mysterious woods of Eira to find inspiration, he meets a girl with hair like moonlight and a smile like danger. Her name is Velina, and she is no ordinary girl-she's a Huldra, cursed to bring misfortune to anyone who falls in love with her. But Luka doesn't care. He gives her his heart and writes her name into every melody he plays. The villagers warn him: the cursed do not love back-they only haunt. But Luka? He'd rather be haunted by love than live without her. As his fame spreads thanks to songs inspired by her, Luka learns that magic always comes with a price. Fame. Power. Love. Madness. Velina tries to keep him away to save him, but he keeps running back-even when the forest starts taking everything he loves. Because love is a fairytale... And some fairytales end in fire.

    In the cursed region of Evia, where forests bleed and villages pray to gods that never answer, there lies a town forever marked by tragedy: Vaneka. For generations, supernatural creatures -lunar vampires, mud witches, werewolves, and ancient horrors- have ravaged its fields, consumed its prayers, and drained its history of hope. But now, someone walks among the bones. A woman. A hunter. A curse made flesh. Damira Jerovic, also called Damara, Damar, Damaris, Damra... She is Vaneka's final answer. Skin pale as porcelain. Eyes red as cursed embers. Hair as black as a falling shadow. And a rifle loaded with redemption. They call her the Vampireya, but she is neither saint nor monster- Damira is the blade that cuts the impossible. Surrounded by a forest teeming with enemies -the Malkian, the cosmic entity Zoryax, and the obsessive werewolf Valmor Luarcão- and a village that fears her more than it fears its own executioners, Damira becomes myth, weapon, and ruin. This book contains elegies, poetic visions, dark tales, and the testament of a woman who does not fight for glory... but because no one else will. A gothic horror story of cursed love, impossible redemption, and obsessions that leave no survivors. A cross soaked in blood. A scream Vaneka never dared to voice.

    Not every story begins with love. Some begin with a curse. When Rosanna Valen locked eyes with him in a bloodstained alley, she didn't know she was staring at the storm that would tear through her world. Nile was supposed to be just another stranger. But his eyes-those river-blue eyes-held memories she never lived, pain she never caused, and a destiny she never chose. What began as a collision of hearts soon unravels into something far darker. Twisted loyalties. Lies passed down like heirlooms. And a bond so deep, even time tried to bury it. As secrets claw their way out of the shadows, and petals fall with every ticking second, Rosanna must choose-between the love that could break her, and the truth that already has. A family bound by secrets. A past stitched in silence. And a love story written in the language of storms and blood. Because some truths were never meant to be known. And some love stories... were never meant to survive.

    "He painted her from a dream-never knowing she'd wake up and change everything." Luca Valentine has everything a man could want-wealth, looks, and a future paved in gold by his powerful, high-society parents. But none of it matters. Beneath the designer suits and forced smiles lies a lonely soul who would trade his inheritance for a canvas and a quiet studio. What he truly craves isn't boardrooms or backroom deals-but the freedom to create. At 23, Luca's secret sanctuary is a hidden art studio above a sleepy little coffee shop, where his real friends-artists and dreamers-see him for who he is: kind, funny, and emotionally guarded. His masterpiece? A breathtaking portrait of a woman he's never met-mysterious, radiant, and hauntingly familiar. She's just paint and fantasy... or so he believes. When Luca's controlling parents deliver an ultimatum-marry by his next birthday or lose the family legacy-he spirals. Alone with his thoughts and his painting, he whispers his sorrows to the canvas. That night, a storm cracks the sky... and Eliora, the woman from the painting, steps into his world. She's real. Alive. And everything he's ever longed for. But the miracle comes with questions. Who is Eliora? Where did she come from? Why does her presence bend the rules of reality? As Luca and Eliora grow closer, sparks fly-romantic, emotional, and magical. But not everyone is pleased. Vanessa Hart, a cunning young woman at his family's firm, has her eyes on Luca-and his fortune. When she discovers Eliora's otherworldly origin, the claws come out. Jealousy turns dangerous, and the line between love and obsession begins to blur. Now Luca must navigate a world where art and life collide, secrets unravel, and his heart is caught between destiny and duty. To protect Eliora, he must uncover the truth behind her existence-and face the ultimate question: Would you follow love... even if it led you into another world?
