The tale begins in the bustling, impoverished streets of Hanyang, where Yohan, a mute commoner, live among the forgotten and forsaken. The air is thick with the stench of decay and despair, a stark contrast to the grandeur of the royal palace that looms in the distance. Yohan, however, are a ghost in this city, unseen by most, but his defiance is palpable. Despite Yohan's silence, his eyes speak volumes-sharp, calculating, and burning with a fire that no one, not even the oppressive government, can extinguish.
Emperor Yi Hwan, a man consumed by power and cruelty, never intended to take notice of someone like Yohan. His world is one of iron-fisted rule and heartless decisions, yet Yohan's defiant gaze as he endure punishment for a crime he didn't commit, sparks something in him. When he sees Yohan kneeling before the magistrate, not begging for mercy but glaring back at those who seek to break him, Yi Hwan is taken aback.
Intrigued and unsettled by Yohan's silence and the strength that radiates from his battered form, he makes a decision that will bind them both in ways they cannot yet imagine. He buys Yohan, not as a man would buy a slave, but as a possession to bend and break. Yohan's body, bruised and broken, is now under his control, but the emperor soon learns that there is something more dangerous than defiance-an unwilling heart, a soul he cannot crush.
The story unfolds as Yi Hwan attempts to dominate and silence Yohan, but Yohan's resistance, Yohan's silence, and Yohan's unyielding spirit draw him closer, even as it pushes Yohan both toward a tragic and destructive love.

Return of the Demon Sovereign (Book 1) [MxM]
[BOOK 1] COMPLETED Legends once spoke of Erebus, a great cultivator who stood against an army of darkness. He fought bravely alongside his brothers for many years but found himself betrayed. Those he called family poisoned and tortured him-seeking his death. When he escaped, he was demonized and painted as a villain of the realms.

Erebus found himself in the body of Eri Themis, the outcast and trash of the prodigious Themis family. Starting over again, he will find himself standing by new allies and facing his old enemies.

Crimson Veil
Introduction Every story begins with a rumor. Some say it started with the boy who was too beautiful for his own good, the boy who shone like glass in the sun and blinded everyone who dared look too long. His name was Kim Sunoo, and in his town, he was the kind of legend whispered about in hallways and written about in anonymous letters sealed with trembling hands. But beauty attracts more than admiration. It attracts hunger. It attracts eyes that never blink. And once obsession takes root, it spreads like wildfire, devouring everything in its path. Others say the story began with the quiet boy beside him, Sim Jaeyun-Jake-whose smile was kind, whose heart was softer than the world deserved. He lived in the shadows of someone else's glow, overlooked, dismissed, yet still standing. Always standing. Until the day he no longer could. And then there are those who swear the story began long before either of them. With a boy named Park Sunghoon. A boy who slit a man's throat at seven, who grew into leather gloves and bloodstains, who ruled his world with cruelty and arrogance. A boy who never lost. A boy who never bent. Lee Heeseung, a boy who can make anyone crumble with just a look. Just became part of the story he promised himself never to be. Love was a luxury, that in his world no one ever tried to tease but he unintentionally did. This is not a love story in its simplest sense. It is a tale of obsession, betrayal, and blood. Of the fragile thread between admiration and destruction. Of boys whose fates were tied together by glances, mistakes, and the wrong kind of love. This is the beginning of their crimson veil.Complete
