a dream a cruel reality

In her pursuit of saving enough money to return home, Hannah found herself playing the role of the "first-love" character in a beloved novel. Originally, this character was a typical stand-in supporting actress, taking on various substitutes for the female lead as dictated by the male protagonists, such as donating kidneys or sparing road for the female lead, which she all agreed. Eventually, the original character succumbed to the pressure, turning dark and meeting a tragic demise with a disfigured face on the streets after being killed by the male protagonists. Hannah's task was to follow this grim plotline and achieve the tragic story's intended outcome. However, in the eyes of George River, she was merely a substitute he had enlisted—an entity dependent on him. When his true love returned, he callously abandoned the woman who deeply loved him. Later, he regretted his decision, only to discover that the once-begging woman was now surrounded by various exceptional men. The individuals who had previously used her as a shield—the movie king, the ambitious young actor who climbed over her for his ideal goddess, and the president who regretted his actions upon regaining his memory—all found themselves humbly pleading for her affection: "Hannah, the one I love is you." Confused by the sudden turn of events, Hannah observed her bank account steadily growing and stumbled upon a newfound skill for crafting tragic stories. As the main antagonist who successfully survived until the end of the story, Arnold Simmons was ruthless, dark, and violent. In his eyes, Hannah appeared to be the most naive woman he had ever encountered, her thoughts consumed solely by love. Witnessing her continuous deception by those around her, Arnold eventually reached a breaking point and seized her, declaring, "Stay by my side; let me handle your tasks."

“The universe is vast and boundless; the Dao is unpredictable.” Lin Beichen was reborn into a parallel world, and a mysterious and profound voice echoed in his mind. Though he didn't have a system, he unexpectedly discovered his Heaven-Defying Comprehension and could perceive everything at a glance. “How should I utilize my Heaven-Defying Comprehension?” Until one rainy day. The deluge poured down, Electric Flash intertwined with Lei Ming, and Lin Beichen gazed out the window in a daze. In that moment, inspiration struck, and his heart resonated with a profound sensation. He slowly stretched out his hand, opened his palm, and looked toward the thunderous sky. He began to clasp one finger toward the heavens and the earth. “In this world, there was no Cultivation Method. But since I am here, one should naturally appear!” “Palm Thunder!” [ps: A unique protagonist-centered cultivation genre]

``` Salvar a un Fae herido en el bosque no había sido el plan de Islinda y, peor aún, resulta ser de la realeza, el Príncipe Valerie de la corte de verano, heredero y príncipe heredero al trono de Astaria. Pero entonces, los humanos desconfiaban de esas criaturas de otro mundo mientras que los Fae miraban a los humanos con desprecio, pensando en ellos como seres inferiores. Islinda y el príncipe eran mundos aparte pero eso no les impidió enamorarse. Lamentablemente, el Príncipe Valerie no podía quedarse en el reino humano para siempre y tuvo que regresar a su reino con la promesa de volver por ella. Y ella le creyó. Pero entonces, viene el otro en su lugar. Oscuro, taciturno, despiadado pero peligrosamente apuesto, todos temían al Príncipe Aldric. Aunque como un feroz guerrero e hijo del rey de Astaria, a Aldric se le niega su derecho al trono y está maldito a no tomar su lugar debido a su oscuro linaje. Retorcido desde adentro y hambriento de afecto, el Príncipe Aldric hace lo que mejor sabe hacer, causar miseria. Capturó a Islinda, la mujer que ha captado la atención de su hermano. La robó de su hogar para sus crueles propósitos. Si no podía tener el trono, al menos podría jugar con el interés amoroso de su hermano. Su nuevo premio. Islinda lo odiaba. Lo despreciaba por quitarle todo lo que podría haber tenido con el príncipe de verano. Él es el villano. Ahora ha sido arrastrada al medio de la sucia política que se juega en las cortes de Astaria, sin mencionar sobrevivir a los fríos juegos que juega el príncipe. Pero toda esperanza no se había perdido porque el príncipe cruel podía tentarla todo lo que quisiera, pero jamás iba a obtener lo que más desea. Ser amado. ¡Él nunca tendría su corazón! ¿O sí? ________ —¿Qué puedes ofrecerme, pequeño humano? —él sonrió, lento y cruel. Ella sería un juguete tan maravilloso. —Por favor —ella le rogó, las lágrimas ahora acumulándose en sus ojos—. Solo déjame ir. —Está bien —él se encogió de hombros como si fuera una solicitud fácil—. Puedes irte. —¿Q-qué? —ella musitó, le resultaba difícil creerlo. —Pequeño humano, descubrirás que mi mente cambia muy fácilmente —esas palabras sonaron misericordiosas, pero ella podía sentir la amenaza debajo. ¿Pero realmente lo decía en serio? Islinda no se quedó para averiguarlo ya que empezó a correr a toda velocidad. Si había la más mínima posibilidad de que él cambiara de opinión, entonces lo aprovecharía. Todavía no perdería la esperanza. Ella no sabía por qué, pero Islinda echó una mirada por encima de su hombro después de un rato y la sangre se le heló en el rostro al ver lo que se acercaba. Oh no, acababa de cometer un terrible error. Esto nunca fue libertad. Era una cacería. Y ella acababa de convertirse en la presa. _________ Nota: Este es un libro de fantasía oscura y el protagonista masculino es un villano, así que no esperes un romance meloso. ¿Qué esperar? Muerte, sangre, intensa tensión sexual y escenas explícitas. Además, no es harem inverso. ¡Castillo mágico como regalo = 5 capítulos de bonificación! ¡Ven, tengamos una cacería salvaje! ```

[Conteúdo Maduro] Salvar um Fae ferido na floresta não tinha sido o plano de Islinda, e pior, ele se revela ser da realeza, Príncipe Valeria da corte de verão, herdeiro e príncipe herdeiro do trono de Astária. Mas então, os humanos desconfiavam dessas criaturas de outro mundo, enquanto os Fae olhavam para os humanos, pensando neles como criaturas inferiores. Islinda e o príncipe eram de mundos diferentes, mas isso não os impediu de se apaixonarem. Infelizmente, Príncipe Valeria não podia ficar no reino humano para sempre e teve que retornar ao seu reino com uma promessa de voltar por ela. E ela acreditou nele. Mas então, o outro veio em seu lugar. Sombrio, carrancudo, impiedoso, mas perigosamente atraente, todos temiam o Príncipe Aldric. Mesmo sendo um guerreiro feroz e filho do rei de Astária, Aldric tem seu direito ao trono negado e é amaldiçoado a nunca ocupar seu lugar por causa de sua herança sombria. Torcido por dentro e carente de afeto, Príncipe Aldric faz o que sabe fazer de melhor, causar miséria. Ele capturou Islinda - a mulher que atraiu a atenção de seu irmão. Ele a roubou de seu lar para seu cruel propósito. Se não podia ter o trono, pelo menos poderia brincar com o interesse amoroso de seu irmão. Seu novo prêmio. Islinda o odiava. O desprezava por tirar tudo o que ela poderia ter tido com o príncipe do verão. Ele é o vilão. Agora ela foi arrastada para o meio da política suja jogada nos tribunais de Astária, sem falar em sobreviver aos jogos frios praticados pelo príncipe. Mas toda esperança não estava perdida, porque o príncipe cruel poderia tentá-la o quanto quisesse, mas ele nunca teria a única coisa que ele mais quer. Ser amado. Ele nunca teria seu coração! Ou poderia? ________ "O que você pode me oferecer, pequeno humano," Ele sorriu, lento e cruel. Ela faria uma brinquedo maravilhoso. "Por favor," Ela implorou, com lágrimas agora se acumulando em seus olhos, "Apenas me deixe ir." "Tudo bem," Ele deu de ombros como se fosse um pedido fácil, "Você pode ir." "O-quê?" Ela balbuciou, achando difícil acreditar. "Pequeno humano, você descobrirá que minha mente muda muito facilmente." Essas palavras soaram misericordiosas, mas ela podia sentir a ameaça por baixo. Mas ele realmente estava falando sério? Islinda não ficou por perto para descobrir, pois disparou em uma corrida. Se havia até a menor chance de ele mudar de ideia, então ela aproveitaria. Ela ainda não desistiria da esperança. Embora não soubesse por quê, Islinda lançou um olhar para trás depois de um tempo e o sangue drenou de seu rosto ao ver o que estava vindo. Oh não, ela acabou de cometer um erro terrível. Isso nunca foi liberdade. Era uma caçada. E ela acabou de se tornar a presa. _________ Nota: Esse é um livro de fantasia sombria e o protagonista masculino é um vilão, então não espere um romance fofo. O que esperar? Morte, gore, forte tensão sexual e cenas explícitas. Além disso, não é harém reverso. Magia do castelo presente = 5 capítulos bônus! Venha, vamos ter uma caçada selvagem!

[Contenu Mature] Sauver un Fae blessé dans la forêt n'était pas dans les plans d'Islinda, et pire, il s'avère être de la royauté, le Prince Valérie de la cour d'été, héritier et prince héritier du trône d'Astaria. Mais alors, les humains se méfiaient de ces créatures d'un autre monde pendant que les Fae méprisaient les humains, les considérant comme des créatures inférieures. Islinda et le prince étaient mondes à part, mais cela ne les a pas empêchés de tomber amoureux. Malheureusement, le Prince Valérie ne pouvait pas rester dans le royaume humain pour toujours et devait retourner dans son royaume avec la promesse de revenir pour elle. Et elle l'a cru. Mais c'est l'autre qui vient à la place. Sombre, maussade, impitoyable mais dangereusement séduisant, tout le monde craignait le Prince Aldric. Même étant un guerrier redoutable et fils du roi d'Astaria, Aldric se voit refuser son droit au trône et est maudit à ne jamais prendre sa place en raison de son héritage obscur. Tordu de l'intérieur et privé d'affection, le Prince Aldric fait ce qu'il sait faire de mieux, engendrer la misère. Il a capturé Islinda – la femme qui a attiré l'attention de son frère. Il l'a volée de chez elle pour ses desseins cruels. S'il ne pouvait pas avoir la couronne, il pouvait au moins jouer avec l'intérêt amoureux de son frère. Son nouveau prix. Islinda le haïssait. Elle le détestait pour lui avoir tout pris ce qu'elle aurait pu avoir avec le prince de l'été. C'est le méchant. Maintenant elle a été entraînée au milieu des politiques sales jouées dans les cours de la cour d'Astaria, sans parler de survivre aux jeux glacials joués par le prince. Mais tout espoir n'était pas perdu, car le prince cruel pouvait la tenter autant qu'il le voulait mais il n'aurait jamais la chose qu'il désire le plus. Être aimé. Il n'aurait jamais son cœur ! Ou pourrait-il l'avoir ? ________ « Que peux-tu m'offrir, petit humain, » Il souriait, lent et cruel. Elle ferait un si merveilleux jouet. « Je t'en prie, » Elle le suppliait, les larmes commençant maintenant à s'accumuler dans ses yeux, « Laisse-moi juste partir. » « D'accord, » Il haussa les épaules comme si c'était une demande facile, « Tu peux y aller. » « V-vraiment ? » Elle murmura, trouvant cela difficile à croire. « Petit humain, tu découvriras que mon esprit change très facilement. » Ces mots semblaient miséricordieux et pourtant elle pouvait sentir la menace en dessous. Mais le pensait-il vraiment ? Islinda n'attendit pas pour le savoir car elle s'élança en sprint. S'il y avait même la moindre chance qu'il change d'avis, alors elle la saisirait. Elle n'abandonnerait pas l'espoir pour autant. Elle ne savait pas pourquoi, mais après un moment, Islinda risqua un regard par-dessus son épaule et le sang se figea dans ses veines à la vue de ce qui s'approchait. Oh non, elle venait de faire une terrible erreur. Ce n'était jamais la liberté. C'était une chasse. Et elle venait de devenir la proie. _________ Note : C'est un livre de fantasy sombre et le personnage masculin principal est un méchant, alors ne vous attendez pas à une romance douce. À quoi s'attendre ? Mort, sang, tension sexuelle intense et scènes explicites. Et ce n'est pas un harem inverse. Cadeau magique château = 5 chapitres bonus ! Venez, faisons une chasse sauvage !

[Matured Content] Saving an injured Fae in the forest had not been Islinda's plan, and worse, he turns out to be royalty, Prince Valerie of the summer court, heir and crown prince to the throne of Astaria. But then, humans were wary of those otherworldly creatures while the Fae looked down on the humans, thinking of them as lesser creatures. Islinda and the prince were worlds apart but that didn't stop them from falling in love.  Unfortunately, Prince Valerie couldn't stay in the human realm forever and had to return to his kingdom with a promise to come back for her. And she believed him.  But then, the other one comes instead.  Dark, broody, ruthless yet dangerously handsome, everyone feared Prince Aldric. Even as a fierce warrior and son to the king of Astaria, Aldric is denied his right to the throne and cursed never to take his place because of his dark heritage.  Twisted from the inside and starved of affection, Prince Aldric does what he is best at, causing misery. He captured  Islinda - the woman who has drawn his brother's attention. He stole her from her home for his cruel purpose. If he couldn't have the throne, he could at least play around with his brother's love interest. His new prize.  Islinda hated him. Loathed him for taking away everything that she could have had with the summer prince. He's the villain. Now she has been dragged into the middle of the dirty politics played in the courts of Astaria, not to mention surviving the cold games played by the prince.  But all hope wasn't lost because the cruel prince could tempt her all he wants but he was never going to get the one thing he wants the most. To be loved. He would never have her heart!  Or could he?  ________ "What can you offer me, little human," He grinned, slow and cruel. She would make such a wonderful plaything.  "Please," She begged him, tears now gathering in her eyes, "Just let me go."  "Fine," He shrugged as if it was an easy request, "You can go."  "W-what?" She croaked, finding it hard to believe.  "Little human, you would find out my mind changes very easily." Those words sounded merciful yet she could sense the threat beneath.  But did he really mean?  Islinda didn't sit around to find out as she broke into a sprint. If there was even the slightest chance of him changing his mind, then she would take it. She would not give up hope yet.  She didn't know why but Islinda spared a look over her shoulder after a while and the blood drained from her face at what she saw coming.  Oh no, she just made a terrible mistake.  This was never freedom.  It was a hunt.  And she just became the prey.  _________ Note: This is a dark fantasy book and the male lead is a villain, so don't expect fluffy romance. What to expect? Death, gore, thick sexual tension, and explicit scenes. Also, it is not reverse harem. Gift magic castle = 5 bonus chapters! Come, let us have a wild hunt!
