ÉCHEC ET MAT

Cinq cents millions d'euros. Un palais sous haute surveillance. Et un pays tout entier scotché à ses écrans. Pour le reste du monde, c’est le mariage du siècle. Pour Lee Junghee, c’est l’ouverture d’une partie d’échecs dont elle ne peut se permettre de perdre aucune pièce. Propulsée de sa vie modeste au sommet de l’empire Van Aert, cette "roturière" au regard d'acier n'est pas là par hasard. Choisie par le patriarche Lodewijk Van Aert pour protéger l’héritier Alexander Van Aert d'une famille de vautours, Junghee doit désormais naviguer dans un océan de venin et d'apparences. Dans ce monde où chaque sourire est un mensonge et chaque cadeau un piège, Junghee n’a qu’une règle : anticiper le prochain coup. Ils pensent l'avoir achetée. Ils ignorent qu'elle est venue pour l'échec et mat.

In the ethereal realm of the Nether Dimension, a place shrouded in darkness and mystery resides a young and formidable soul named Keliana Iris Larkin. At the tender age of fourteen, she possesses a power so potent it sets her apart from the ordinary. Little does she know, Keliana is the last descendant of the revered and long-lost royal bloodline known as Aurum. The Nether Dimension, a realm distant and detached from Earth One by an unfathomable expanse of 500 light years, is a battleground between good and evil. Keliana's noble family bears the weighty responsibility of safeguarding all realms from the vile onslaught of demons who traverse treacherous portals and gateways, hell-bent on sowing chaos and tyranny. But the truth that lies concealed from Keliana and her kin is far more astounding and perilous. Within their veins courses the sacred essence of the Aurum Bloodline, a lineage entwined with destiny and royalty. Her father, Prince Erinic Aurum Larkin, stands as the true and rightful ruler of the Nether Dimension, yet this knowledge remains shrouded in secrecy. A sinister web of power and control, known as the Sovereign system, has granted prosperity to select families every fifty years, while ruthlessly eradicating the impoverished to sustain its insidious empire. In this fantastical saga, Keliana must bear the weight of this dark legacy upon her young shoulders. She embarks on a daunting quest to unravel the enigma shrouding her brother's tragic demise or inexplicable vanishing, striving to protect her fractured family amidst the tempestuous storm that brews. As she ventures deeper into the labyrinthine mysteries that lie ahead, the fate of Earth One hangs precariously in the balance. Her nefarious uncle, Mondola, driven by a malevolent thirst for power, marshals his wicked forces to claim dominion over the unsuspecting world. Will Keliana, bound by duty and a thirst for justice, comprehend the cryptic extent of her own burgeoning powers in time to thwart the imminent threat? Can she unravel the tangled web of her brother's unknown fate, and in doing so, keep her resolve unyielding and her family intact? With every step she takes, the stakes grow higher, the darkness threatening to consume her very soul. Will she succumb to the seductive whispers of revenge, forsaking the noble path that lies before her? Or will she remain resolute, her determination fueling her as she navigates the treacherous realm of uncertainty and danger? Only time will tell as Keliana's clandestine journey, veiled in riddles and secrets, commences, casting her into the throes of a mystifying and perilous adventure.

The MC is kind of a door-mat, that was always stepped on by his enemies. This is not even a novel that have an MC that is always being chased, this MC is just a door-mat. OR! maybe the door-mat MC is another novel that have Alchemy god/emperor on it's name. Freaking Chinese novels that have always the same name and almost the same story.
