"I've been through enough cold during the battlefields and season's change. Though those things are normal, I never felt the warmth, enough to keep my heart ablaze. You are indeed the warmth of the sun in my winter time. Arth, my dear apricity." -Sage Lancaster
••••
Sage Lancaster almost had it all. He has prowess, valor, and innumerable good qualities of a noble any woman could ask for. But any of those people will surely faint if they realized that this man is not interested with any type of lady, as he sets his eye and interest to the straight-laced, stick-in-the-mud, strict rule-abiding Captain of the Knight who flipped him like a paper when he was intoxicated. Because for Sage, Arth Caledon is the prize.
But once he overturns the inflexible Captain, will his interest fade? Or it will turn into something deeper even himself never expected to be? Will they be able to find solace in each other's arms amidst this chaos engulfed?

The Sole Prince
[ Only the ocean can bring a prince and a pirate together, only the sea can keep their secrets, and only the waves can tear them apart. ] [ COMPLETED - 80K Words] [ LGBT Historical Romance ] [ FEATURED ] James Serrio is supposed to be a prince, not a prisoner rotting away in the bottom of a pirate ship. His future was royalty, not death in a grimy hunk of wood, but it seems that fate had a different plan. Just when things couldn't seem to get worse, another ship attacks, and James is starting his prisoner journey all over again. But these new pirates are different, to say the least, especially Sage Morrow, the captain, with his black coat, gold buttons, sharp jawline, and steel-blue eyes. There's something about the captain that reminds James of a fire on a cold day. And, there's something about the new prisoner that reminds Sage of home. But there are more important things for James to focus on than a man, like the fact he's somewhere on the vast ocean, in a ship full of hungry pirates, with nothing more than a necklace and a quick brain to call his own. The Sole Prince is the story of James Serrio and Sage Morrow, and their consequential fate after running into each other smack dab in the middle of nowhere.

THE WHEEL OF DESTINY
A soft exhale escaped through the Heavenly Emperor's lips, helplessly staring into the endless void, whising the universe would, in it's infinite apathy, allow him to return into it's cold embrace, never to see the sunlight again. After the blink of an eye, he said, so softly it may as well have been an illusion: -Why did it have to be like this... Why did you have to be like this? The immortal didn't answer. He simply knelt, his head bowing to the ground in silent submission. -I have loved a man more than duty. Yet I do not carry the shame of regret. Forgive me, my Lord, for I have sinned. Between heaven and earth, mortals and immortals coexist in a delicate balance. But when the actions of the past become entangled, destiny becomes a labyrinth with no exit. Zhao Wei, a young man marked by tragedy, is forced to confront his past and uncover the truth about the disappearance of his parents and the subsequent death of his brother in the shuiyue sect's fire by the arrival of Yuan Zhi, a mysterious young man who seems to be more than he reveals.

Let Me Live, Please! [BxB]
There was this famous romance visual novel called 'My Lover is a Noble'. But it's not famous because of it's storyline, actually its plot is really basic with a poor female Lead finding true love from a rich noble, but what made this famous were the extras that came with it. It's revealed that the male lead had feelings towards the villain of the story, who was a guy. Kind of queerbait if you ask me, but when the fujo-danshis knew about this they immediately rioted because, according to them, the visual novel could have been a great BL material. Some even wanted to question the author personally... And that's my job! My name is Hans and I'm a professional journalist who's interested in the decisions the author made while writing the plot for the visual novel. But when I was about to meet up with the author I was caught in a street accident. And when I woke up, the first thing I saw was that the male lead of the famous novel 'My Lover is a Noble' was apparently trying to capture the villain. But why is he nearing me? ... Wait, I got transmigrated? ... Wait, I'm the villain of the story?! Started: January 22, 2021 Completed: June 20, 2021Complete
