But she didn't expect that in this life, she'd cross paths with Cledwyn Maindulante, the cunning future ruler of the north.

Price of Freedom

Price of Freedom

Novel PSA: Moved to Royal Road, and relaunching under Free Yet Chained on August 1st 2025 Freedom is a word undefinable by mankind. Chased indefinitely while the tunnel of freedom's infinite journey is constantly filled with rubble you need to destroy. According to the most extreme definition, one would have to be unbound by every law and concept making up the world. In Lukas’ case, he created his own definition — as any “elected” king would. Everything possible Lukas could’ve wanted was in his grasp by the time he passed into the afterlife, especially a honey-sweetened chocolate milkshake that he could barely attempt to consume. Family, health, island oasis, world peace, and the never-ending pursuit of novel stimuli. Nothing went according to plan, yet everything seemed to work out in the end. Yet the very second he passed, Lukas realized the one thing he knew would undeniably occur, failed to be given to him. Death… After two years of meandering the currents of life, he was finally able to get a grasp on reality, and rejected it. New world, new body, randomly “gifted” the power of flight after months of meditation — a perfect interpretation of freedom, and a restart he desperately did not want. What could possibly go wrong in a kingdom surrounded by walls? What was so dangerous that required walls reaching the heights of 600 feet to blanket any sense of horizon one could see? And what in the God’s is up with that reverse whirlpool this kingdom revolves around? —————————————— What to Expect: - Reincarnation MC(with consequences) - OP MC (choose to hide powers for good reason) - Slice of life engagements to give life to the world - Meaningful relationships - Dungeon Diving - Epic uses of magic!! - Blood, guts, and bones - Deep mysteries - Academy Arc(Volume 2) - No harem cuz we not about that life

The Price of an Heir

The Price of an Heir

Suho has always lived between two worlds. One shaped by legacy, pride, and expectations he never chose, and another shaped by a heart that feels too deeply for the life he is meant to lead. He is cold, silent, charming, and smart when it comes to business. But he is gentle by nature, emotionally deep, and quietly devoted when it comes to his love. But love was never allowed to be part of his carefully arranged world. It was always meant to be negotiated, controlled, and contained. At this point in his life, Yerin is his everything. His first love, his only love. He is willing to go to any length to keep her, even when his family repeatedly refuses to accept her. Torn between a heart that refuses to let go and a lineage that demands an heir to carry the Kim legacy, Suho takes a decisive step, trying to hold on to Yerin without disappointing the family that expects obedience and continuity from him. Then Hauen enters his life. Not through affection, but through a contract. Chosen not as a partner, but as a solution, Hauen becomes his wife in a marriage built for convenience. An agreement meant to secure an heir and protect the Kim family’s legacy. In return, Hauen enters this marriage to save her father’s bankrupt business. She is warm and gentle, yet guarded. Strong in quiet ways, carrying her own unspoken burdens. To the world, their marriage looks flawless. Polite smiles, perfect appearances, a union without cracks. To them, it is nothing more than a carefully written business contract, set to end after eighteen months. But life has little patience for plans built without truth. In the midst of calculated decisions and emotional restraint, fate pushes Suho into the lowest point of his life, breaking him in ways he never expected. Stripped of control, certainty, and pride, he is forced to confront the parts of himself he has never imagined. At his most fragile moment, the question is no longer about legacy or contracts. It's about Who will stay when everything collapses? Who will stand beside him when life is hard for him? And when life offers both unbearable loss and unexpected grace, will Suho have the courage to accept them? This is a story of love that begins as an obligation, fractures under destiny's test, and slowly transforms into something honest, real, and beautiful.

The Price of Her Name

The Price of Her Name

Who is she in this life? A bride, a pawn… or just a substitute for someone who will never come? Rosy, a girl cast out by her own family, had her identity switched to be married into a noble household. A wedding with no invitations, no blessings only the cold binding from a man named Captian Anderson, the ruthless CEO behind the largest corporation holding the key to the entire banking and finance industry. Forced into marriage to save her family’s failing company, Rosy had no idea she was stepping into a maze of conspiracies, deceitful pasts, and chilling secrets no one had ever spoken of. She must live with a man rumored to be incapable of feeling, someone whose eyes reflect no emotion, yet always see through her as if he has known her for a very long time. Between love and control, trust and lies, Rosy has no choice but to stand up and reclaim herself, even when the love that begins to blossom may become the greatest threat of all. "To survive this velvet prison, she must learn how to make her captor love her to death." ... Umee say that: Hi there! First of all, thank you for the interest and for the enthusiasm. Truly. Every time I open my comments and see new invitations to add Discord, buy promotion packages, commission comic adaptations, or “have a quick chat,” I’m reminded that my story has somehow wandered into a very busy marketplace. That said, I should probably set expectations gently before anyone invests too much energy. I’m not looking for promotion services, paid advertising or commissioned artwork. Not because they’re bad ideas, just because they’re not ideas I currently need. I don’t have the budget, the urgency or the illusion that my story is secretly one step away from becoming the next global phenomenon. I’m very aware of where my work stands. It’s doing okay. Respectably okay. Not “adapt-everything-immediately” okay. My passion for writing exists but it hasn’t reached the stage where common sense quietly exits the room. I promise I’m not underestimating myself, I’m simply being realistic, which is a personality trait I’ve grown quite attached to. Another small but important thing: I’m not really interested in chatting, exchanging ideas, networking, or building creative alliances in private messages. I write best when left alone. I think best when no one is pitching anything to me. And I function best when my inbox is not screaming for attention. So if I don’t reply, please know it’s not personal, it’s just me choosing silence over small talk. That being said, if you’re genuinely curious about me rather than what I can potentially become or produce, if you want to see my everyday life, random thoughts, quiet moments and the unmarketable parts of my existence, I do have my Instagram linked in my bio. You’re welcome to follow it. No proposals required. No introductions needed. Just observation, at your own pace. I truly wish you the best with your creative work, your art, your promotions, and your ambitions. Creating something and trying to get it seen is hard, I respect that deeply. I just prefer to walk my path slowly, quietly, and without turning every interaction into a business opportunity. Thank you for understanding, for stopping by, and for letting me return peacefully to my writing corner, where the only thing I’m selling is words.

Moving roof
The movable roof was a design that could change the structure of the top of the building. It was made up of a series of movable parts that could be opened, closed, folded, or translated according to needs. This kind of roof was used in gymnasiums, open-air theaters, exhibition centers, indoor swimming pools, and other places. Its advantage was that it could adjust the opening and closing degree according to the weather conditions and usage requirements. When the weather was fine, the roof could be opened to connect the indoor and outdoor spaces for ventilation and sunlight; when the weather was bad, the roof could be closed to protect the building and its internal facilities. There were many ways to achieve this, such as retracting, folding, sliding roofs, etc. The specific design was affected by the building structure, space requirements, roof size and weight restrictions, etc. The electric roof was a type of movable roof. It was a system driven by electricity. The roof was opened and closed through an electric motor, transmission device, and control system. It has the advantages of convenient operation (can be controlled by buttons or remote control), fast response speed (can quickly adjust the interior and exterior space of the building), flexibility (can adjust the opening and closing degree according to the needs to meet the requirements of ventilation, lighting, etc.), increased comfort (improved ventilation and lighting conditions), aesthetics (increased architectural ornamental value) and so on. However, there were also disadvantages such as high initial costs (the installation of electric motor, transmission device, control system, etc. required investment costs) and reliance on electricity (power failure or unstable power supply would affect normal use).

There is a small house on the roof
Based on the information given so far, it was not clear about the specific problem of having a small house on the roof. For example, did he want to know the rationality of this building structure, the construction method, the meaning of feng shui, or other related content? From the perspective of rationality, referring to the relevant concepts of ancient architecture, building a small house between the main house and the wing room had many adverse effects. For example, in ancient feudal etiquette, it would destroy the order of seniority. From the perspective of Feng Shui, it might form a "teardrop house" and was not conducive to the family's wind and qi gathering. From the perspective of the living environment, it might affect the lighting, causing the main house to be dark and damp, and the splashing of water from the eaves might cause water to accumulate in the main house. However, if it was a modern building that did not involve traditional concepts, a small house on the roof might be a modern architectural design requirement, such as a functional attic, a viewing room, or a facility room.

The little secret on the roof
There were many interesting little secrets on the roof. In terms of functional facilities, there were balls on some roofs. They were actually non-powered wind caps, also known as ventilation balls. This was a ventilation device driven by natural wind. It could extract turbid and warm air from the house, improve the indoor environment, and make the air fresher and healthier. It could effectively discharge turbid air, humidity, heat, smoke, and other impurities in spaces such as factories and basements. It did not require electricity, saving energy and costs. However, it also had its limitations. The initial cost was high, it needed professional installation and adjustment, the ventilation effect was affected by the wind, and the range of use was affected by the terrain. There were also special designs and facilities on the roofs of some buildings. For example, the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony was ranked according to the number of spine beasts. There were ten spine beasts on the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was the most in the Forbidden City, and the number was even. There were huge "kisses" at both ends of the spine. Some roofs were designed to be special places, such as the bird garden in the sky and the rooftop apron. Their existence was related to the people and things in the building. In addition, the kindergarten's roof and railings had a safety function, and the kindergarten's roof platform could also be planned and designed. For example, it was necessary to consider the rules when playing games on it, and also consider what facilities were missing on the platform. From the perspective of the building structure itself, the roof with four slopes and five ridges had good drainage performance, which could reduce the risk of water accumulation on the roof and corrosion of the steel structure. The attic space inside could be used flexibly as a storage area, living space, or leisure space. The appearance was beautiful and elegant, which could enhance the overall beauty of the building. The roofs of some parks would be turned into gardens. For example, the newly discovered building in Changning District had a terrace garden on the roof, decorated with a variety of flowers and vegetables, and had a high green coverage. Rooftop fans were also a type of rooftop facility. They were made up of a motor, impellers, and a shell. The motor drove the impellers to rotate and create a negative pressure to suck in the external air. Through the exhaust pipe, the hot air, moisture, or harmful gases in the room were discharged. Some high-efficiency rooftop fans were designed with advanced aerospace, low noise, and intelligent control. The novel, Drunken Golden Cup, is equally exciting.
