Amelia knew that she's not for breeding and definitely not for show. She is the rightful Duchess of House Florence--maybe more, but absolutely nothing less. Orphaned at a young age, Amelia Cicely Florence, the first lady ruler in the history of the Empire of Creador, was but seventeen years old. Upon her first appearance at the Gathering, some nobles and aristocrats questioned her capabilities and the role of women in society--that was to assist her husband, be his pillar of support, and make sure that their family lives for the next generation. But Amelia thought differently. Then entered Duke Alexander Clement, the man with a promise to support her and let her be what she wanted to do with her life. His conditions? Her happiness. Or is it? A slow-paced journey to forgiveness and acceptance; to life and love. *cover is an edited with the use of AI-generated characters. I couldn't find the artist who made it, if you do, pls inform me.

I finally asked, "Who are you?" He turned to face me, his dark black eyes possessing an almost hypnotic allure, melting my heart. Internally, I admonished myself, 'Hazel, get it together. You don't even know him. Calm down, my heart.' With a soft smile, he responded, "Alessandro, but you can call me Ale." If looks could be lethal, I wished this man would do the deed instead of the unpleasant encounter I had earlier. 'What is wrong with me?' I wondered, shaking off my thoughts as I introduced myself, "Hazel." His sharp gaze met mine, piercing my soul as he cryptically replied, "I know." ------------------ In the atmospheric cityscape of Florence, Hazel's life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters the enigmatic Alessandro. As the narrative unfolds through their intertwined perspectives, Hazel grapples with a sudden descent into fear and uncertainty, propelled into the shadows of Alessandro's clandestine world. The narrative, oscillating between Hazel's disoriented vulnerability and Alessandro's calculated poise, becomes a dance of secrets and dangers.

What would you give to save the world? Your life? Your freedom? The people you love? And what if, in the end, the person standing between humanity and survival was someone you called family? --- One year ago, billions of people vanished without a trace. No warning. No explanation. Nearly half of humanity simply disappeared, leaving the world with more questions than answers. Then the Tower appeared. Rising from the middle of the ocean and reaching beyond the clouds, the Tower became the center of a new world. Strange stone doors appeared across the globe, and through them came monsters unlike anything humanity had ever seen. The world fought back. When ordinary people began awakening extraordinary abilities, humanity finally found a chance to survive. Soldiers, Awakened, and volunteers entered the Tower, determined to uncover its secrets and find a way to protect the world outside. But the Tower has its own rules. Every floor brings new dangers, new enemies, and new challenges. The deeper they go, the more they begin to question what they thought they knew. Why did the Tower appear? Where did the missing billions go? And why does it seem to know so much about the people climbing it? As the survivors climb higher, friendships will be tested, sacrifices will be made, and enemies will not always be strangers. Because surviving the Tower may require more than strength. It may require deciding who you are willing to lose. And who you are willing to become. --- Updates: Saturday, Sunday and Monday --- Patreon is available (if you want to read ahead or read hidden side stories): https://patreon.com/mamapatience

[Irresistible MC + Farming & Entrepreneurship + Strong Female Lead + Cute Baby + Love Rivalry + Farming System + Male Competition] Deng Yuyuan wakes up to find she has transmigrated into a period novel about a "pampered group darling" — as the biological mother of the vicious female villain. The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband. She's going to raise this little cub with an abundance of money and love. No way she'll go astray this time. Lost one husband, gained a crowd of suitors. A beautiful sent-down youth coveted by many — she knows some self-defense and burns the midnight oil studying. With the reinstatement of the college entrance exams, she takes her child toward a much wider world. Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?
