The Beast ✓ by Ancientt

I've been locked in this mysterious mansion for ten years. Cleaning and following the rules of a Lord whose face I've never seen. Rule 1: Don't walk the halls at night Rule 2: Never leave the property Rule 3: Don't ask about the Lord of the estate Once you leave the mansion, you can't come back. My mother tells me I should be thankful because only crime and death remain outside the gates after the war. But after ten years of cleaning the same halls and reading the same books, after ten years of unanswered questions, my curiosity got the best of me. I snuck out of the mansion and went to the nearby town: a crime that could get me banished. I began asking about the mysterious Lord, and tonight, I will walk the forbidden halls and hope to catch a glimpse of him.

Swapped Fate by rikaaraji468

No one would expect those of the wealthy high society to mingle with the lowly and poor; not when it's for something as sacred as a marital bond. Lady Fate, however, seems to have differing views when she lands the orphaned Mavis right into the den of high society to become the daughter-in-law of the reputable and esteemed Devereux family. Tristan, her soon-to-be husband, is a cocky and vexatious force to reckon with, whom she constantly butts heads with in a war of words, emotions and actions. But when life-threatening situations are hurled their way and the Devereux family has upon its hands a set of recurring crises, the two quarrelbirds' only way to prevent its downfall might be....togetherness. * Some crossing swords, a bit of firing guns, adequate meeting of eccentric species and races, quite some touring of mystical lands with a heavy dose of the love potion.
