The war is over. The wounds remain.
After a century of bloodshed, the Valmoran Empire has fallen-defeated by the very kingdom it sought to erase. To maintain the fragile peace, Crown Princess Maya agrees to a political marriage with the enemy prince, Cassian-a prisoner, a symbol, a threat, and a leash to keep him powerless.
However, peace is a fragile illusion, and trust is the deadliest weapon of all.
Beneath gilded halls and silken lies, secrets fester. Betrayals bloom. And the line between duty and desire begins to blur. As a kingdom stitched together by war starts to unravel, Maya and Cassian are left with one question:
Can love truly bloom where war ends, or are they destined to be each other's downfall?

[EDITING IN PROCESS.] In a kingdom wrapped in shadows and whispered secrets, where loyalty is sold for gold and love is considered a dangerous weakness, some hearts are born not to shine... but to endure. In a palace where beauty is judged by skin and worth is decided by blood, silence becomes survival. Vidya Gupta was never meant to belong there. Eighteen years old, dark-skinned, quiet, and invisible to the world, she was the daughter of a royal advisor who dreamed not of crowns, but of freedom, knowledge, and a life beyond the palace walls. But fate dragged her into the palace as a backup bride. A replacement, a shadow, a girl meant to be forgotten. Books became her only escape. Freedom, her only dream. Disguised as a maid, she walked through corridors never meant for her footsteps. And that was when he saw her. Rudra Vikrampuri, the crown prince. Twenty-one years old. Cold. Ruthless. Untouchable. Known across kingdoms as the Demon of War. A prince who ruled battlefields with iron hands and hearts with silence. A warrior who trusted no one. A man who believed love was weakness. To him, she was just a servant. Until she wasn't. Between stolen glances and harsh words in gilded halls, a forbidden bond began to bloom, a love the palace never wanted, a connection power could never allow. But in a kingdom where thrones are hunted, secrets are lethal and betrayal hides behind every smile, love is not a blessing. It is a threat. When enemies rise and conspiracies unfold, Will Rudra choose the crown...or the girl the palace tried to erase? Will Vidya survive loving a prince, who was never taught how to love? Will two hearts survive the shadows of the throne? Or will love itself become the greatest danger of all? ✦ Royalty ✦ Secrets ✦ Dark Romance ✦ Forbidden Love ✦ Slow Burn ✦ Hate to Love ✦ Betrayal ✦ Intrigue For hearts that dare to fall in love with darkness. 🌹 This story is for you.

She survives by keeping her past sealed tight- every bruise, every secret, every ugly truth locked behind elegance and restraint. Her life is a performance, and she never misses a step. Until she slips... ...and falls straight into the orbit of the man she was taught to despise most. One reckless act- done under the guise of a false persona- sets something irreversible in motion. A line is crossed. A fire is sparked. And the illusion of distance between them shatters. That night leaves her with a hangover, and a realization she can't escape. You don't have to die to go to hell. Some men bring it right to you. He is power without conscience. A presence felt more than seen. The devil everyone fears. She is a mess dressed in designer. A voice that refuses to be silenced. The angel everyone envies. Logic says they should never align. That their worlds, their loyalties, and their sins are fundamentally opposed.

The Golden Crown [BL]
Once upon a time, two neighboring kingdoms, decided to end years of war and bloodshed by signing peace, beginning an era of truces, alliances, and fragile cooperation. Although the agreement brought stability and prosperity to both lands, it could not erase the deep-rooted rivalry that still lingered within the royal families. As centuries passed, those fake greetings and forced meetings remained until the current generation. From the few moments they had met, the princes, Light and Charn, personalities clashed violently. Charn's intense and provoking nature always challenged Light's strong sense of control, turning every encounter into a silly battle of words and insults. Everything changed after a terrible tragedy struck Emmerland: the sudden death of its king. With an unknown murderer freely walking around across the kingdom, the royal family was forced to abandon their palace for their own safety. Seeking temporary refuge under the alliance, they were invited into moving into Goldenland's palace. Forced to live under the same roof, surrounded by suspicion, grief, and unresolved resentment, Light found his hatred for the emerald prince growing stronger with every passing day. Contains graphic descriptions of violence and blood. No explicit smut. Tags🏆 1st #princexprince (Feb2026) 1st #enemiesandlovers (May2026)
