Reborn as the Emperor's Most Favored Prince by Yurimn101
27 parts Ongoing Mature
What happens when a modern girl dies... only to wake up as a baby prince in her favorite fantasy novel? Not just any prince-the Seventh Prince, Kaelion, the Empress's most beloved son and the most handsome child in the empire. In the original story, he was nothing but a side character, adored for his beauty but destined to die young, a mere footnote in the bloody struggle for the throne. But this time, Kaelion has something no one else does: 👉 A modern brain full of "strange inventions." 👉 A sharp tongue and comedic inner monologues. 👉 A determination to live long, eat well, and avoid all death flags. Unfortunately, surviving palace life isn't easy. His brothers range from overprotective to murderous, his sisters cling to him like he's their personal hero, and the nobles whisper behind his back. Worse, five extraordinary young women-noble ladies, a proud oiran, and a merchant's daughter-are all fated to fall in love with him. Between assassination attempts, sweets stolen with his fourth brother, awkward marriage proposals, and court politics, Kaelion must learn to play the role of "useless, spoiled prince" while secretly outsmarting everyone around him. But fate has already marked him as the Emperor's treasure. And treasures are always fought over. Comedy, romance, harem, and palace intrigue collide in this reincarnation tale of a girl who became the most favored prince! NOTE: I created this for fun. Open for feedback :) Thanks!

59 parts Complete Mature
*****BOOK ONE****** Set in a continent called Irevalen, where the skies are ruled by dragon-shifters - immortal beings who can take human form, but never fully shed their beast. Centuries ago, a Blood Treaty was made between dragons and the last surviving human kingdom. To maintain balance and peace, a dragon from the royal bloodline must bond with a human every 500 years - not just a marriage, but a soul-binding, deep magic deal that ensures dragons don't destroy the mortal realm with their fire and fury. The catch? The human bride is always chosen by fate. No one picks. No one can refuse. Or so they say. --- 🔥 The Male Lead: Kaelith Vyron, the current heir to the SKYCOURT throne - feared warrior, emotionless strategist, and cold-blooded dragon prince. Has rejected the idea of love his whole life. Is terrified of what the soul-bond might do to him (dragons who bond can be consumed by obsession). Is pissed that fate tied him to a weak, mortal girl. Thinks she'll break. Plans to scare her off. But she doesn't. And it wrecks him. --- 🕊️ The Female Lead: Liora Vane, 22-year-old healer's apprentice from the far southern coast. Orphaned young. Grew up with books, herbs, and freedom. Hates the idea of fate deciding who she marries. Thinks dragons are cruel, inhuman monsters. When she's taken from her village and presented to Kaelith, she fights back - hard. Swears she'll never belong to him. But then... she sees pieces of his humanity. And it terrifies her more than the fire ever did.
Bloody Crown [COMPLETED] by __urbabygirl__
55 parts Complete
She was born a wolf in a world that wanted her tamed. Seraphina Ravenshade never asked for silk gowns or gilded palaces, her place has always been the training yard, blade in hand, unflinching before men twice her size. But when the Crown summons her family to the capital, she finds herself forced into a deadly game of politics, power, and temptation. The Crown Prince, Kael, is as dangerous as he is mesmerizing, his golden eyes see too much, his touch burns too deep, and his intentions blur the line between protection and possession. But the shadows whisper another name. Silais, a man with silver hair, a past soaked in blood, and a vow that ties Seraphina to secrets the royal family would kill to bury. Between a prince who cages her with fire and a phantom who claims her in darkness, Seraphina must decide where her loyalty, and her heart truly lies. And in Aurelius, love is just another battlefield. --- 🩸A dark fantasy romance where love is dangerous, power is bloody, and every choice can destroy a kingdom. Read now. But beware, no one escapes unscathed. Hello there! This is my first attempt at writing something, so please bear with me-I'm a bit sloppy when it comes to endings. You might find this story familiar if you're a fan of manhwa. That's no coincidence! This story is inspired by a dream I had after reading a typical romance manhwa (though I can't quite remember which one). All the double gaps means some time delay or skip. I hope you enjoy this little slice of my imagination! 💭✨ This was a one shot in one of my old account (which is not working unfortunately)

Hazel A woman once fueled by dreams of romance and quiet joy, Hazel built her life around the belief that love could be her sanctuary. But lately, that belief feels like a distant echo. The man she once adored now stirs something darker in her-grief, resentment, disbelief. What happened between them wasn't loud, but it was enough to fracture her trust. She knows Xavier didn't mean to hurt her, yet intention doesn't erase the ache. Now, Hazel stands at the edge of her old life, unsure whether she's mourning a love that died-or waking up from a love that never truly lived. Xavier To Xavier, marrying Hazel felt like winning fate's rarest lottery. He loved her deeply, but somewhere along the way, love became possession. He never saw himself as controlling-just certain. Certain that Hazel would understand him, follow him, forgive him. But certainty is brittle. Now, he's left with the wreckage of a marriage he thought was unbreakable, wondering if being "a man" blinded him to the quiet ways he failed her. He doesn't know how to fix it. He only knows he's no longer the man Hazel believed in. Lily Raised in an orphanage tucked away from the world's noise, Lily learned early how to turn loneliness into light. She dreams big, laughs easily, and carries a quiet hope that her parents might still be out there, searching for her. Sister Mary once told her she wasn't born into the orphanage-she was brought there by social workers. "Maybe your parents lost you," she said. That idea clung to Lily like a half-remembered lullaby. Sometimes, she feels she was once close to them, but the memory isn't comforting-it's unsettling. Like a shadow she almost recognized. Still, Lily chooses joy, even when the past whispers otherwise.
