He ran. Away from the place that had caged him, from the ones who had hurt him, from years of silent suffering. Barefoot, shaking, silver hair falling over frightened blue eyes - he reached the king's court by sheer chance. His body gave out before the marble steps. Gasps echoed through the grand hall. The boy lay unconscious, too fragile for this ruthless world. The king saw him. And something unfamiliar stirred. Days passed. Slowly, the boy opened his eyes. Spoke little. Smiled softly. And with each glance, the king found himself watching - too often. Too long. There was no reason for this pull. No logic in it. Only the innocent eyes that still trusted, and the quiet kindness that began to fill the cold halls. "Please... don't do this to me." (A voice from the boy's past - words that haunted the king's thoughts.) "I'll protect you." (A promise, unspoken, but already set in motion.) But even within the safety of the palace, not all was as it seemed. Secrets lingered in the shadows. "Never knew that the son I was raising was never mine." And as the truth slowly unraveled, so did the king's resolve - to shield the boy who had unknowingly begun to heal him.

Sypnosis: જ⁀➴ Lin You opened a breakfast shop in the building she rented. A few days later, a zombie outbreak hit the city. Food and water ran out, and people fell into despair. Lin You sold her remaining stock, ready to close the shop. Unexpectedly-turning on the faucet produced rich milk, the fridge brimmed with premium meat, and baskets overflowed with fresh vegetables. Lin You: "...Stunned.jpg" With endless ingredients, the little shop became a beacon of hope, helping survivors in Ancheng City maintain strength. Every day, Lin You cooked steaming pancakes, golden fried dough sticks, and savory buns. The human forces had enough food, keeping morale high. Within the fortified city, Lin You lived peacefully, harvesting vegetables, raising dogs, and cooking. Until one day, a man suddenly emerged from a vegetable basket. Neatly uniformed, handsome, and aloof, he muttered, "Strange, how did my interdimensional space end up here?" Lin You turned, locking eyes with the man climbing out of a pile of radishes. "??" "!!"

"Two hundred thousand gold coins and the cursed blade of Selverin!" a high-ranking vampire lord declared, his red eyes gleaming with hunger. "Four hundred thousand gold and a siren's heart," a mermaid duchess countered, her black-scaled tail flicking in irritation. "A million gold, and my entire estate in the Shadowlands!" a fae lord sneered, eyes flashing with power. But it was all for nothing. At the very top of the auction hall, beyond the reach of the common bidders, sat the true rulers of the supernatural world. A private royal chamber loomed over the hall, separated by thick glass enchanted with dark magic. Inside, three powerful figures observed the auction in silence, untouched by the chaos below. They were kings. The rulers of the night. And they had already decided the outcome. At the center sat King Aldric Vaugn, the Alpha of all werewolves. To Aldric's right lounged King Darius Velmont, the ruler of vampires. And to Aldric's left, reclining with an almost bored expression, was King Orion Thalassar, the sea's sovereign. Aldric leaned forward, his voice like rolling thunder. "Three million gold." Darius merely chuckled, setting his goblet aside. "Gold is a fleeting currency, my friend. Let's make this more... enticing." He turned his gaze to the auctioneer. "Ten million gold. And the Bloodstone of Evermore." Orion sighed dramatically. "You two and your gold. It's so boring." He sat up, stretching lazily before giving a slow, knowing smirk. "How about an entire kingdom?" The entire hall froze.

In a home where love was a currency, she was always bankrupt.

Offered as a consolation prize, she expects only disappointment in a loveless union. Yet, the journey of marriage becomes an unexpected path to self-discovery. Her new husband, who wanted her sister, soon finds himself captivated by the fierce, quiet strength of the twin he ended up with. The Color Of My Own Sky is a story of the invisible bruises that shape a soul, and the battle to finally find the courage to paint your own brilliant horizon. Nov. 3 ©deey_jah
