the vulture and the viper

"They married her to a corpse. She’ll teach them how to bury the living." When Sloane Sinclair, a disgraced surgeon with a talent for toxins, is sold into marriage to the "dying" heir of the Pemberley dynasty, she knows it’s a trap. The contract is simple: her medical skills for her freedom. But the Pemberleys didn’t expect the viper they’ve invited into their nest. Lucian Pemberley isn’t the feeble puppet his family believes. Behind his coughing fits and silver-tipped cane lies a mind sharp as a scalpel. He recognizes Sloane’s lethal brilliance—and the shadows in her past that mirror his own. Forced to ally, they unravel a conspiracy laced with memory-altering drugs and blood-soaked stock certificates, all leading to the truth behind their mentor’s murder. As their fake marriage ignites into something dangerously real, the Pemberleys strike back. A black widow’s perfume, a sibling’s betrayal, and a ghost from Sloane’s childhood force a choice: heal the man she’s grown to crave, or wield her needles like the weapon she was trained to be.

Twenty of the world’s most dangerous figures. One syndicate. And at its center, Daniel Cross — one the richest man alive, controlling billions in oil profits without ever touching a refinery. As global power shifts through contracts, pipelines, and secrets, even the world’s deadliest intelligence agencies can only watch. In this game, knowledge is a weapon, and loyalty is currency.

In a world where one's destiny is forged by the spiritual energy of the heavens, Wei An was born cursed. His "Withering Root" is a spiritual void, draining the life from all living things around him, making him an outcast feared by all. Useless. Powerless. Alone. But a chance encounter with a dying celestial beast reveals the terrifying truth of his "curse." His root doesn't destroy Qi—it devours the lingering essence of the dead. Battlefields, tombs, and execution grounds are his sacred cultivation lands. Every life that ends near him is a stepping stone on his path to power. To the orthodox sects, his methods are the ultimate heresy, a demonic art to be purged. To the demonic cultivators, he is a resource to be consumed. Hunted by all and understood by none, Wei An must walk a lonely path paved with moral decay, turning death itself into his weapon. As he navigates a world that wants him erased, he must ask himself: To gain the strength to protect himself, will he become the monster everyone believes him to be? Or will he forge a new Dao, one that balances on the razor's edge between life and death?

At sixteen, Jack Carter lost everything—his family, his future, and the illusion that anyone was coming to save him. Left for dead by the same people who butchered his world, he fought back. Alone. Bloody. Unforgiving. Now, ten years later, Jack is a ghost with a reputation. A scarred veteran turned urban myth—missing an eye, loaded with trauma, and driven by one thing: balance. He doesn’t kill for justice. He kills to make sure the next kid doesn’t end up like him. Using The Board, a black-market gig economy for criminals, Jack takes contracts no one else will—tracking abusers, traffickers, and predators the system won’t touch. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes the rot isn’t just in the streets—it’s everywhere. Political. Institutional. Intentional. As Jack works his way through a criminal ecosystem built on silence and power, he’s not just hunting monsters—he’s becoming one. Viper is a violent, psychological thriller about what happens when a broken boy becomes a weapon—and decides to aim himself at the world that broke him. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

[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?
