Nanami Kento ensures that no one in his life knows he has a wife, going as far as not even buying a wedding ring in the first place. Meanwhile, L/n Y/n is certain that no one knows the truth of her existence; that she, who'd been isekai'd into this world years ago with the power to reverse time by a singular second, is now here to reverse the plot of every tragedy that'd ever happened. Her greatest mission? To save her husband from his own death. Oh, and the cat? Well, he has secrets of his own too. ═ ═ ═ ╰☆╮ ═ ═ ═ started: 1.18.24 completed: 3.2.26 ═ ═ ═ ╰☆╮ ═ ═ ═ #1 nanamikentoxreader [11/12/24] #1 gojosatoru [12/15/24] #1 animegirls [12/15/24] #1 nanamikento [1/19/25] #1 animeboys [2/28/25] #1 cringe [3/18/25] #1 nanami [9/2/25] #1 itadoriyūji [10/10/25] #1 jujutsukaisenxreader [12/16/25] #1 nanamikento [3/24/26]Lengkap
The Cursed Onikimaru and The Goddess That Saved Him
Under the silver light of the moon, two fates intertwine - one born of light, the other bound by a curse older than time itself. Seventeen-year-old Amira Vargas thought she had escaped tragedy when she left Florida for a quiet life in Japan. But the moment her hand touches a cursed blade - Onikimaru - her destiny shatters. The sword hums with ancient sorrow, whispering her name as if it remembers her from another life. And then he appears - Kyo, the enigmatic demon lord imprisoned within the blade, with eyes like molten fire and a soul bound by vengeance. His beauty is both divine and dangerous, his presence a promise and a warning. Though centuries of torment have hardened him, one look at Amira stirs something long buried - love. But Amira is no ordinary girl. The golden bangles on her wrists awaken with celestial light, revealing a divine heritage that once sealed Kyo's fate. As ancient forces rise, the line between salvation and damnation blurs. Together, they must uncover the truth behind the curse, the goddess's betrayal, and the bond that defies even death itself. In a world where gods meddle and demons remember, love becomes both weapon and redemption. A tale of reincarnation, forbidden love, and divine destiny, The Cursed Onikimaru and The Goddess That Saved Him weaves a hauntingly romantic story about a girl who must choose between the light that created her - and the darkness that calls her home.
