El poder tiene un precio... y era algo por lo que ella estaba dispuesta a cambiar su alma. Unas noches antes de su boda, Lauren buscó una forma de romper su cuarto compromiso. Conocida por su mala reputación como princesa rebelde, ella era la única dama que tuvo el valor de poner un pie en la mansión Everston, la casa de un notorio señor de la guerra, en medio de la noche. Ella le ofreció una malvada alianza que todo el reino no vio venir: un matrimonio. Una astuta haciéndose pasar por una damisela en apuros y un hombre cuyos ojos carmesí gritan por derramamiento de sangre. ¿Podría florecer algo en esta traicionera danza de mentiras y engaños? -- "¿Estás molesta?" Ella lo miró con agudeza. "¿Debería sentirme honrada de haber sido engañada por ti, milord?" Él bebió el vino restante de su copa de un solo trago y la colocó sobre la mesa de madera. Se paró frente a ella. Su mano estaba en la barandilla a su lado mientras que con la otra mano tomó la copa de ella y terminó su vino antes de dejarla. La forma en que su manzana de Adán se movía con cada violento trago le hizo sentir un calor cosquilleante alrededor de su nuca. Cuando volvió a prestarle atención, se lamió los labios para borrar el rastro de vino. "¿Cómo puedo compensarte entonces?" preguntó con su voz profunda, como un diablo seductor preguntándole a su víctima cómo le gustaría ser asesinada. Peligroso pero... cautivador. - Nota: Este es un género de fantasía oscura y romance con mucha sangre, feudos familiares, escenas ardientes, giros y vueltas, y otro contenido explícito (sin violación) que te alterará y podría darte un ataque al corazón, así que básicamente esto no es para personas de corazón blando, ¡así que lee bajo tu propio riesgo!

Cassandra Reid has never found a fortune teller on Earth that could read her future. She always gets the same cards got over and over again from the different tarot readers she approached. High Priestess and the Four Knights. Knight of Pentacles. Knight of Swords. Knight of Wands. Knight of Cups. And the last one? The ominous Death Card. Every fortune teller has no idea what they meant and they have completely given up on her fate. Even she, herself, has given up. Until one of the Knights showed up. And tried to kill her. YUMMY EXCERPT: updates every day "Why are you protecting me anyway?" I swallowed a lump forming in my throat. "What's in it for you?" "Yeah, Cass. I ask myself every day why I am doing this too. Before I sleep and the first thing that comes to my mind the moment I wake up? It's you." His gaze jerked up and clashed with mine, confusion darkening those gorgeous irises. "I'm doing things I never even wanted to do in the first place. Like messing up my mission as the heir of the House of Cups." "I don't want to be indebted to you! I don't want you to get hurt while you kept me safe." The more I spoke, the more Gabriel's pupils narrowed. "Do you know why I'm doing this?" Gabriel chuckled without humor as he cupped my chin, forcing my face to his. "Because I loathe it when you are hanging out with some other guy. Someone who isn't me." He pulled back and studied my face before shaking his head. "I want to kill them myself. There's a dark thought in my mind that says you are mine to own. And you are mine to kill when that time comes where I have to." Gabriel's grip tightened and he leaned down, placing us nose to nose, his choppy breath traipsing over my lips. "You like taunting me by flirting with other guys too, do you? Well, guess what? It works. I can't fucking get you out of my mind." He released me long enough to slam a fist into the wall just beside my temple. "The first kiss was a goddamn mistake. It was supposed to purge you from my thought, make me stop wondering what you taste like."

Welcome to hell! Purgatory is on the right, the hall of evil souls is on the left and... I'd better let you walk around on your own. Just be careful, nothing is what it seems, nobody is completely good here. Have you been bad? Hundreds of souls enter through these doors, but none come out. Perhaps you are at their mercy. Did you believe that the Devil put up the worst temptations? I am sorry to say that you are very wrong. The worst temptation is here, locked up. His son, to be exact. The Devil's son! Don't get upset, that's what he wants. He knows how to enter your mind and how to use your deepest desires against you. He will use you to get what he wants. Don't fall. Be careful.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
