Someone he could share his life with; in this lonely existence he called eternity. Fortunately for him Fate has made someone just for him and who would love only him and no one else. Sadly, eternity has caught up to his lonely heart, and he feels as if no one would want to be around him, let alone love him in return, and he has grown impatient now waiting and waiting for someone to show him the love he ever so craves.

The First and Forgotten Wife
Two maids were cleaning a vast chamber when the younger maid asked the older one, "Didisa, you have been working in the palace for two decades right. Please tell me why are we cleaning this already clean chamber?". The older one smiled and said, "Although this chamber is always kept clean, it should be cleaned before anyone can reside here. And above all, our Ranisa is coming back to the palace". The younger maid didn't seem to accept it as a good news and said, "Whoever may come, but they cannot become equal to our choti Ranisa. She is the most kind, generous and sweetest person I have ever seen. She had never gotten angry on any maids even if they make mistakes. Take my example, I have made such a blunder on my first day here, but choti Ranisa accepted me as her own maid. Who can match her in kindness or even sword fight? And moreover she is Ranasa's heart beat". The old maid sighed and said, "Our Ranisa may not hold the heart of Ranasa. She may not be well versed in sword fight. But there is a reason why she is still our Ranisa. Sometimes one may have to be harsh to deliver justice and not just compromise between the victim and the tormentor. The people should have some fear about getting punished if they do wrong. And that charisma is with our Ranisa". ----------------------------------------------------------- A young girl of 17 years, looked at the retreating back of her newly married husband with a sad face. Just then her brother-in-law seated beside her husband's empty seat said, "Why are you sad, Bhabhisa?". She replied, "It's Nothing devarsa". He glanced back at his bhabhisa one more time and thought, "I don't know when bhaisa will open up with bhabhisa about his heart. She thinks that he is not fond of her. But how would one explain, why he ate the saltless food without a complaint and glared at me to keep my mouth shut. Unless it is for his beloved wife".

Unable to form a stable pheromone bond and told he would likely never have children, he lived with the quiet pain of being an "incomplete omega." The only person he ever loved shattered his heart. Betrayed by the alpha who had only coveted his wealth, Yu An lost his life in a tragic accident... ...only to awaken in the body of a ger in an ancient world. This time, he has what he once dreamed of-a kind but distant hunter husband, an irresistibly chubby two-year-old son, and a peaceful home tucked away in a mountain village. Yet the original owner left behind broken trust, lingering guilt, and a reputation that won't disappear overnight. Determined to cherish the life he was given, Yu An slowly wins back his family's hearts with warm meals, gentle care, and the fragrances that once made him famous. As his perfume business flourishes across the empire, the quiet hunter beside him begins to reveal a secret powerful enough to shake the entire dynasty. Can a man who lost everything finally protect the family he never thought he would have? Or will the past hidden behind his husband's gentle smile destroy the peaceful life they built together? A slow-burn romance filled with family warmth, village life, adorable childcare, business growth, hidden identities, political intrigue, and the healing power of unconditional love.

My Sin
Liu Quiaqio, the Empress of the Jin Dynasty has given his heart, soul, and body to the emperor, he loved him to the point it exhausted him, but the cold emperor only had eyes for one person, and that person wasn't him, the warmth in his eyes when he looked at that person would never belong to him, the gentleness when he spoke to that person would never be heard by him until his death. "What wrongs have I committed, for you hate me this much? Did I do anything wrong for you to look at me with such contempt in your eyes? Was loving you such a sin?" I asked weakly "Your sin was that you loved somebody you weren't supposed to love," He responded coldly. 'He's right I squandered so much love on him that I did not have any left for my sons and my daughter, for the ones who truly cared about me. If I had one chance to make it up to them I would spend my whole life doing so' I thought as I closed my eyes and welcomed death or so I thought. *Not yet edited* My story!
