silently gathering enemy

She was the most dazzling heiress of A City's elite, but a sudden turn of events had left her with no choice but to "seek refuge" with that man who was significantly older than she—

In the 312th year of the Great Yu Kingdom, the Demon Sect suddenly rose, the Eastern Bureau was annihilated, and the Lin faction collapsed. This year, the situation changed dramatically, the martial arts world was filled with intrigue, and the dynasty was on the brink of danger. The starting point of everything was due to the Demon Sect Saintess dying an untimely death. "This case is now closed, and you are no longer a suspect." After another round of investigation, Chen Yi returned home and pushed open the door. The Demon Sect Saintess, who should have been dead, was curled up trembling on his bed... "Master..." She called out to Chen Yi. The enemy of the previous life, now a concubine in this life. ………………… The Empress Dowager who controls the court, the pure and flawless Demon Sect Saintess, the ninth-ranking one-armed sword master of the world, the emotionless Taichua Goddess, the chivalrous and tender-hearted Spring and Autumn Sword Master... They are all my enemies, all once wished me dead. In the end, they all resigned themselves to subordination, swallowing their shame.

When Wen Yan chose the profession he deemed the safest, "Natural Enemy," he felt sure his ending wouldn't be the same as those of other professions, where the average person met an untimely death. That was until he encountered a Soul Devouring Beast that measured tens of kilometers in length. He then realized things might be just a tiny bit different from what he had thought. "Soul Devouring Beast. Trait One: Devouring. Devouring souls. Trait Two: Immune. Immune to physical damage, immune to elemental damage, immune to environmental damage, immune to mental damage, immune to sustained damage, immune to toxin damage, immune to..." "Sole trait, Invincible."

Five years ago, Li Susu abandoned Huo Sichen and silently went abroad to study. Five years later, Huo Sichen left the medical profession and become a businessman. His worth skyrocketed, and he quickly became a new sensation in the business world, amassing a fortune of billions! When the Li family went bankrupt, he used a contract to make her Mrs. Huo, vowing to make her regret her earlier betrayal! After their marriage —— Huo Sichen: "Aren't you a gold digger? Every day, you must spend all the pocket money I give you, if you don’t, you can’t come home!” There she was, squatting at the doorstep late in the night, laden with shopping bags, teary-eyed, and too scared to come in. The black credit card had no limit, she couldn't spend it all! Huo Sichen: "Who allowed you to lose weight? From now on, every inch of fat on you is mine, you can only gain weight, not lose it!” The beauty-conscious Li Susu, due to all sorts of supplements, visibly… well, not exactly bloated, becoming rounder in appearance! She found herself not only racking her brains on how to spend money every day, but also watching her good figure gradually distort, until she finally —— lost her temper! "Huo Sichen, can't you find another way to seek your revenge?” The man smirked, "Then bear me a son, have ten, and I'll forgive you." Li Susu: "......" After learning the truth, Huo Sichen chased his wife to the crematorium —— "Darling, have all my money and me, please reconcile!” Their children: "Mommy, give daddy another chance!”

In an era when knowledge was banned, the physician Lyle had to be extremely cautious even in academic research, an invitation from the Andrei Academy materialized before his eyes. The Andrei Academy of Cassandale? Lyle peered closely at the tombstone before him, hissing, "Ah, the scholars here really know how to pick a spot."

I got drunk during the Annual Alpha Conference and accidentally slept with Anton, the Alpha of the rivaling clan! I managed to sneak out of the hotel so that I wouldn't embarrass the pack. I told no one other than my younger sister, although I did not mention who he was. The present: Three weeks later, I reached adulthood and was about to take over as the pack's Alpha. I would be transforming for the first time at eighteen, awakening my inner wolf as everyone watched. I was on my knees, using all my strength to transform… But nothing happened. Had I failed? Not resigned to my fate, I tried again. But that was when my heart hurt as if someone was grabbing it and my belly heated up as the rest of my body screamed in pain… I drop to the floor, unconscious. When I woke up, the first words I heard were from the doctor. "She's pregnant…" In our world, any werewolf pregnant with children not belonging to their mates were treated as pariahs, oppressed by one and all. I did not dare to look up at my parents, who would obviously be disappointed. "Baby," said my mother. "Just get an abortion, and we'll continue the ceremony. You are still the Alpha of our pack. "Ellie," said my father. "If you don't get an abortion, you will never be my daughter ever again. As much as I loved my family, I was the only one my child could count on. That was why I decided to leave home. Thankfully, my younger sister managed to get Anton's number, but the only thing he said over the phone was, "It's been so long. I can't remember what really happened." So, from now on, I would be a single parent to my child! I swore to give him the good life and to help all pariah wolves find a place to settle! Years passed, and Anton was almost thirty. With his father's insistence, Anton finally found himself a mate… But who could explain why she was so disgusted with him?

Chen Gu has transmigrated to a future world where some have superpower. They could release nuclear blasts barehanded; manipulate quantum teleportation to achieve instantaneity; exhale particle winds that could melt metal like dragons; and control human thoughts as a hacker does computers... But the first thing Chen needs to deal with is that he somehow has a forty-year-old son. "Are you saying... you are my father?" "No, I am your son."

« MATURE CONTENT » I was supposed to check my stats. Instead, I checked my sins. One scroll through the system notifications and I realized I’d made the dumbest, hottest, most catastrophic mistake in cultivation history: [Heir Conception Confirmed: All three blessed wives have been Impregnanted.] [Gestation: 3 months. Offspring inherit 50% divine bloodline + maternal elemental affinities.] [Legacy Skill Unlocked: Imperial Seed – Children born at Core Formation minimum. Twins/Triplets chance +70%.] Translation? I bred the maid who poisoned me, the archer who swore she’d never kneel, and the ice queen who hadn’t even been kissed… in one night. Now they’re all carrying little demigods—and Heaven just flagged me as Calamity Incarnate. I wanted a quiet moment to breathe. Heaven handed me a countdown. 3… 2… 1… The sky split like a bad promise. Tribulation clouds boiled over the horizon, rings within rings, and every ring had my name carved into it. Lightning didn’t just flash—it wrote scripture across the firmament, every stroke a sentence: Zhao Tianlong, Calamity Incarnate. And behind me, three heartbeats answered in perfect sync. "Husband, stand back; you should save your energy to fight us in bed..." I glanced at the notifications again, just to suffer. [Heaven’s Will: Surveillance Active. Concealment: Impossible.] [Designation: Catastrophe-Grade Variable. Tribulation: Immediate.] [Bonus Condition Detected: Three Heroines Pregnant. Difficulty Multiplier: x10.] [Note: Heaven disapproves of speedrunning destiny via breeding.] "H-husband, why is the sky thundering..." "The clouds seem to be darkening with concentrated Qi." "It's like it is spreading across the land to take you on, Tianlong." I almost laughed. Almost. My naive wives, they can’t see how the clouds look beautiful, like a beautiful woman. "Hah… I make fountains out of heavenly beauties with my thing," I spat, a chuckle forming while getting disgusted, cute, lovely glares from my heavenly wives. "So if even Heaven itself dares to spread her legs at me, all she’ll do is scream louder," I said, lifting my middle finger towards the sky with a grin that almost ruined my hot husband image in front of my wives. "Tch, perverted bastard... I will just fight." "Ahem, yes, standing beside him might corrupt me." "H-husband... I-I will go fight too... you are embarrassing me..." They stepped beside me—left, right, and one half a pace ahead. Unaware that their sway of hips and jiggles of melons were too distracting. "...." I could only look at three of my beauties, thinking how they are different than last night, but again it appears I might have to corrupt them more.

“Duty before heart,” Ashleigh replied firmly. “What is that supposed to mean?” “It means I will do my job. But Caleb is just my duty, you are my heart.” *** Two men, two distinct feelings of attraction and trust. Ashleigh struggles to understand the feelings in her heart. Torn between the man she has loved for the past two years and the cold Alpha of an enemy pack, can Ashleigh figure out which of these men she truly wants to be mated to? Does she really have a choice? She is the daughter of Alpha Wyatt of Winter, the largest of the four Werewolf Packs. For two years she has eagerly awaited her eighteenth birthday so she can finally be married and mated to her love, Granger. But just before that magical day she runs into a significant problem: she finds herself bonded to another wolf. Her fated bond happens to be Alpha Caleb of Summer, the man whose father was supposedly murdered by one of her own. As if that wasn’t enough, every pack is suddenly reporting attacks from rogue wolves. Now Ashleigh is faced not only with a war in her heart, but one in real life. Will they be able to work together, putting aside all their heart ache and pain to keep their packs safe from the enemy that threatens them all? Or will this love eventually become their downfall? **Note from the author** 1. This is a slow burn for FL and ML 2. Trigger warnings all around. Abuse, trauma, gaslighting and manipulation. These themes are present all throughout the book in different ways. 3. This book is not just about the FL and ML, the cast of characters and side characters are full of rich backstories and their own chapters that play into the central plot of the story. 4. FL is young, she is flawed and she WILL piss you off. We all need time and experience to grow up. Join my discord server:
