duty family heartache loss marriage-of-convenience morally-grey pain self-sacrifice tragedy

'The tear of the butterfly had long buried in her heart, waiting to bloom.'

Katya Hawthorne, the martyr of the Hawthorne family, will rewrite history if it means protecting her younger cousins. It is her duty, her desire, her sole reason for breathing. Marrying Theo for this should have been as easy as keeping her composure.

Theo Hawthorne, the saviour of the Hawthorne family, will defend his family till his last breath. As the eldest, he knows his duty. Marrying Katya was as easy as commanding his company-a blessing. 

But blessings could easily turn into curses. And the flutter of a butterfly's wings could easily spiral into a storm.
-
A story that delves into the labyrinth of the heart and mind, where lines between duty and sacrifice blur, where love is as reachable as infinity. After all, the tragedy of humans is the innate ability to feel, even if it destroys them.

[This novel explores the subtle, morally grey areas of human emotions. It is not a love story. Not yet.]

Who is the real daughter: Miss lin takes no nonsense after her rebirth by prettykarinaa

Lin Yin was an unfortunate girl who lived in the slums for eighteen years because of mistaken identities at birth. Even though she was brought back to live with her real parents, there was no place for her amongst them. She was constantly bullied and scolded for no reason; her own biological parents would leave her in the dirt just because Su Fei shed a tear. Swindled, and betrayed the very person she fell in love with, she was finally going to escape her dark life when she realized that it was all a setup - that she was just a clown. She dragged her poisoned body as she tried to escape, but she was killed regardless at the loud crack of a gunshot. Her departed spirit watched as her biological parents coldly said, "She has never been our daughter. Burn her, throw her into the dirt - you can do whatever you like." As the guest left, a man stood sighing with sympathy. "Take her to a funeral home. Let's hope that in her next life, she can live for herself and not suffer so much grief." How laughable it was that she had lived for so long, but a stranger turned out to be the one who gave her a proper funeral! Soon, Lin Yin lost consciousness, and woke up to find that she had gone back in time, to the first year after she returned to the Su family! This time, she decided to live for herself without compromise! Still, just as she thought she would have to do this alone, she never imagined that she would be reunited with three brothers, although they never showed up in her last life! They were Mu Heng, the magnate, Mu Qing, the prodigious doctor, and Mu Ran, the heartthrob and movie star! In her last life, she gave her heart to the wrong people and suffered a tragic end, but in this life, her brothers were pampering her to death! Mu Heng: She's my sister! I'll protect her! Mu Qing: Who dares bully my sister! Mu Ran: She's my sister! I'll spoil her! Lu Ming: She's my wife! I'll watch over her! Mu Heng, Mu Qing, and Mu Ran: Get out! PS: For offline purposes

Dil Hi Toh Hai ( Completed) by shineyy_sunset

"My heart was a canvas, blank and unaware, until the day I met her. Her eyes were the paintbrush that stroked the colors of love, laughter, and adventure. With every moment we shared, a new shade of beauty was added to my life's masterpiece. Her touch ignited a fire that melted my fears, and her smile lit up the sky. I found my home, my safe haven, my forever love. She is the poetry that makes my heart sing, the music that makes my soul dance, and the love that makes my life a work of art." "He walked into my life like a storm, shaking the foundations of my soul. His eyes were the lightning that illuminated the darkness, revealing a love so pure and true. His strong arms were the shelter from the tempest, holding me close and keeping me safe. His gentle touch was the sunshine that warmed my heart, and his loving words were the rain that nourished my spirit. With every breath, I fell deeper into the ocean of his love, drowning in the depths of his kindness, humor, and strength. He is the anchor that holds me steady, the compass that guides me true, and the love that makes my heart whole

𝑯𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒔 by _niightshade__

She was the Emerald Palace heiress, shining bright in the sky. She had the world at her feet, but not a soul by her side. Her mother was a rose, sweet and thorny in her love. Her father was a star, gone too soon from above. Her stepfather was a snake, slithering in the dark. Her stepbrothers were her allies, each with their own spark. Her school was a warzone, where blood and lies were spilled. Her enemies were many, but her friends were few and skilled. She had to face the storms, and find the rainbow's end. She had to seek the truth, and mend what was broken. She was Elvira Ashton, the Emerald Palace heiress. Follow her in a journey of feisty friendships, unexpected rivalries, spun in a tale of saccharine romance.

The Strongest Sorcerer of Tomorrow (Megumi x Arknights) by Thhuulium

"How will you ever be able... To face the world again?" From within the depths of Megumi's soul, Sukuna had spoken that question. Could he truly keep living? After all the failures he had amounted to? He couldn't, he truly couldn't. When the final Black Flash fell, so did his life. Well, that would have been the case if Fate hadn't decided to exchange one crappy world for another. I do not own Arknights or Jujutsu Kaisen, they go to their respective owners.
