Tóm tắt

[Warning: r18+/strong mature content] Amidst the clash of desire and betrayal, who will dare to sacrifice everything for the sake of love? With the ability to foresee the future, Tarah could propel kings to unprecedented heights of success or plunge them into the depths of irreversible failure. But when her kingdom fell, Tarah was forced to offer herself into servitude to her captor in exchange for her brother’s life, becoming a spy in a dangerous game against Ezekiel, the future Dragon King of Ebodia. Haunted by a prophecy of his doom by a woman’s hand, Prince Ezekiel has meticulously avoided female company throughout his life. However, everything changed when he met Tarah, the new fated Seer of Ebodia. Initially only caring about ruling the world, Ezekiel now finds himself strongly enamored by Tarah, at the risk of losing sight of his own goals. Caught between safeguarding her brother's life and the growing affection for the domineering ruler, Tarah faces a dilemma. Will she navigate this dangerous path, risking everything for her heart's desires? ********* Excerpt: "You can't escape me. There's nowhere in this world where you can hide from my reach," Ezekiel whispered, his breath warm against her neck. Her throat tightened as his lips grazed her skin. With a firm yet gentle grip on her chin, he tilted her head, urging her to meet his intense gaze, causing her heart to pound in her chest. "I'm here to make you remember every detail of the agony you've caused me," he declared. "Agony?!" she protested. "Yes, your cruel betrayal. Leaving me, breaking your promise..." ***** MAIN STORY STATUS - COMPLETED

Chapter 1The Gift

"Please spare me!"

"I will do everything—just don't kill me!"

"I beg you, have mercy!"

Amidst the cries and pleas of the other captives surrounding her, Tarah remained an island of stoic composure, seemingly unaffected by the collective distress that filled the air. Her icy cold blue eyes betrayed no hint of emotion as if the anguish of her fellow captives did not affect her. 

Her obvious indifference starkly contrasted with the palpable fear and desperation gripping the others. 

"This one—I want this one in my personal cage!" the Commander of the army shouted, pointing his finger at her. "And put all the rest in the same cages!" 

Tarah gritted her teeth, but she remained unfazed. She could feel the Commander's malicious eyes directed at her. 

"Commander Ross, let's move! We have a convoy to attack, and they are nearing," a dark man with slitted dark orbs, similar to the eyes of a snake, interrupted. He was Sibil, the most sinister, and thus, most feared warlock from the kingdom of Helion. 

For years, Helion had waged wars all over the world, destroying and conquering other kingdoms for power. The Demon King of the Kingdom of Helion, Devon, wanted to rule the world, and he consequently dispatched his horrendous armies everywhere to wreak havoc.

The current village where Tarah stayed was unfortunately attacked by one of Helion's armies.

"What's the rush, Sibil? I don't like rushing things," the commander scoffed, his eyes still lingering directly on her. "You're not my superior. I don't need to obey you. On the battlefield, I'm your superior!" 

Disgusted on the man's face as he licked his lips while his gaze locked onto her, Tarah wanted to vomit out her revulsion. She fought hard to retain her composure, clenching her jaw and balling her hands into fists till her knuckles turned white. 

"Aren't you a calm one, huh? I can't wait to squash the stubborn look in your eyes by the time I'm done with you." The commander smirked as he gave one of the many soldiers around him the signal to drag her inside his so-called personal cage.

It was smaller compared to the large ones they used to hold other captives. Tarah pursed her lips in an attempt to prevent herself from speaking, quietly watching the army march back to their destination from the cage she was locked in.

Soon after, another battle ensued as the Helion army proceeded with its plan for another ambush. And this time, it was no longer a village they were after, but a convoy bearing the flag of Ebodia, with its striking golden dragon symbol in the middle.

"Kill everyone!" the commander shouted. 

Tarah couldn't bear to witness the bloodshed. The strong metallic scent of blood, the screams and shouts that filled the surroundings, including the manic laughter of the warlock, all overstimulated her senses.

Still, she did her best to remain calm, and she held her breath the moment her eyes darted to an older man with shoulder-length silver-white hair from the convoy of Ebodia. He was the Seer of Ebodia, Beirut, whom she had lately seen in her visions and dreams. 

The Seer was currently fighting against Helion's warlock, Sibil, through an exchange of powerful spells. Light and dark mists and balls were thrown into the air as they attempted to kill each other. 

Unfortunately, like her visions showed her, the dark fireballs managed to subdue the white shadows, making the older man fall to his knees.

It was then that their gazes met.

"You… I finally found you," Seer Beirut muttered the moment his eyes landed on her. 

"What is it, old man? Oh, Beirut… It's only too bad that you won't be able to save her and yourself, for today will be your death!" Sibil declared with a loud laugh as he gathered his dark energy into a big dark fireball. "Say goodbye to your time as Ebodia's Seer! It's now time for you to rest!"

Tears unknowingly rolled down Tarah's cheeks as she watched it all unfold. She bit her quivering inner lip, holding her breath once more, knowing how things would end—how the Seer of the Kingdom of Ebodia would die in the hands of the evil warlock of Helion, Sibil. 

To her surprise, she saw the older man smile at her and mutter, "Everything will be in your hands, now."

"What are you grumbling about, old man?!" Sibil mocked as he put more power into the dark mist holding the old man by the neck up in the air. 

Sibil might've been unable to hear the Seer's silent words, but Tarah managed to clearly read the old man's lips. Just in time, a loud thud sounded out as the old man's body fell to the ground.

Right at that moment, a vision unfolded before Tarah's eyes. A surge of images flooded her mind, and she couldn't help but clutch her head, overwhelmed by the sudden intrusion of events playing out in her consciousness. 

As she raised her head, she turned to the warlock, with a taunting smile forming on her lips.

With a growl, Sibil approached her and hissed, "What are you smiling about?!"

She gave Sibil her coldest look and smirked. "Death will soon come your way through the hands of the future King of Ebodia." 

Yes, Tarah was no ordinary woman, for she had the gift to see the future and other things that most people couldn't see. Her ability wasn't limited to merely seeing the future. She could also see all the past, as well as show her visions to others if she willed by simply touching them. On top of this, she also had the power to limit the visions she wanted others to see.

Sibil gritted his teeth as he moved to hold her neck. "You! I'll seal your mouth fo-"

"Sibil! What are you doing near my woman?" the commander hissed.

"Let her go now! Scram, and report this success here to King Devon! Tell him that I will proceed to the northern camp and will await his next orders!" He then turned to her and said, "You… I will deal with you soon!" 

Quickly releasing her neck, the warlock then disappeared before her eyes.

Meanwhile, the commander quickly instructed his men to move, and Tarah's eyes softened as her cage passed by Beirut's unmoving body. Although he had yet to die, he was barely alive.

The commander then approached her cage with a grin. "Tell me your name, woman."

"My name is nothing of importance at this point," she coldly answered. 

The commander chuckled and taunted, "We'll see later how long you can act tough once you're on my bed."

"I'm the last woman you'll ever see until your last breath tonight as you shall bathe in your own blood on your bed." Her icy blue eyes bore into the commander with an intensity that could send a chill down someone's spine.

Rejected by the Alpha, Claimed by his Brother

[TRIGGER WARNING: Mature Content + Dark Themes] EXCERPT: “Axel, no. We… can’t do this!” I jolted back when he pulled up my skirt. As if to retaliate, he grabbed my wrist and yanked my body to his. “We can do whatever I say we can do, María José.” “I’m your brother’s reject. Do you even hear yourself right now? He didn’t want me, Axel. What does that make me to you?” “I don’t care about Álvaro’s foolishness. It's his loss for losing a woman like you.” “Okay, I must confess. I'm not worried about him either. It's Rosa… you're getting engaged to my sister in a month!” “Let me remind you, María José—I don’t give a fuck about that, either.” No matter how hard I jerked, he wasn’t letting me go. And part of me—so, so foolishly—didn’t want him to. ______ Having spent her life avoiding the spotlight, María Jośe never imagined she’d be the one to bring shame to her esteemed De la Vega family. With beauty as captivating as a field of lilies, she is the prized daughter of an ambitious father who cares more for his reputation than his children’s happiness. When Álvaro Montenegro, the arrogant heir to the Alpha title, sets his sights on her as his chosen Luna, María Jośe is desperate for a way out. But everything changes when the Moon Goddess answers her prayer in the most unexpected way: María Jośe discovers she is an Omega—wolfless and the lowest rank in the pack. Once held in awe, she is now shunned; a source of shame to her father and a target for ridicule in the pack. As her life turns upside down , María Jośe's hatred for the pack grows. The only solace she finds is in her growing, forbidden bond with Axel Montenegro—Álvaro’s older brother, who has turned his back on the pack to live as Beta. These two developed a love-hate friendship born from their shared disdain for the pack’s cruelty, which slowly evolves into a passionate, secret romance. But when Álvaro discovers Axel’s interest in María Jośe, jealousy ignites within him and he suddenly wants María Jośe as his own. Love, vengeance, and betrayal all brewed into a whirlwind of drama, desires, and deadly comebacks. Will María Jośe rise from the ashes of her former life, or will she be consumed by the power struggles of the pack she despises? Will she give in to the oldest brother who is scared of commitment or the younger one who fiercely seeks redemption?

Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

Eighteen-year-old Trinity is unlike any other werewolf in her pack. For one, there were unusual circumstances surrounding her birth, for another, she is the only pack member to never shift into a wolf form. So now she doesn't quite belong anywhere. Not quite human and not quite wolf. She thought she would be able to live her life how she wanted when she had turned eighteen. Go to college, make some friends, have some fun. But what is she to do when the dangerously sexy Alpha literally falls right into her lap? "I am not human, and I am not a wolf. I don't belong anywhere..." "...we both know that no one is going to mate with me, and even if they did, they would just reject me anyway." What is the sexy, brooding Alpha going to do? The elders are making him hold these ridiculous parties to search for a mate. He doesn't want a mate, but he knows he needs a mate to finish the Alpha Circle. Without a mate, a Luna for the pack, his people would suffer. And what is he going to do when he stumbles across the girl that fate has chosen for him and he finds out she has no wolf? "This cannot be!" I roared. "There is no way that I can mate with a girl that does not even have a wolf. She will be too weak. She will be inferior. She will not be strong enough to be a Luna." "I simply could not accept her as my mate. Not fully. It wasn't safe for her. She would get herself killed. And she would bring my pack down with her." When these two meet, sparks will surely fly. But will it be from passion, or their constant fighting? Neither of them wanted a mate. Neither of them wants the mate that fate chose for them. And neither of them can make that mate bond go away. What are they going to do now that they're literally stuck with each other? ***Rating Warning*** Adult Language Violence Strong Sexual Content THIS BOOK IS UNDERDER AN EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT AND IT IS NOT TO BE POSTED OR PUBLISHED ANYWHERE ELSE.

The Prince of Military Academy Is Actually A Girl!

After dying from a strange terminal illness, Ling Lan was reborn into a world 10000 years into the future. Although she dearly wished she could just live a peaceful and uneventful life in her new healthy body, fate had other plans ... Forced to disguise herself as a boy just so she could inherit her deceased father's premium military benefits, Ling Lan's journey to adulthood was full of challenges. After much difficulty, she finally turned sixteen when she could drop the charade. But before she could grasp her newfound freedom to get married and start her own family, a twist of fate results in her being thrown into the Federation's top military boys' school. With these twists of fate, Ling Lan had little choice but to walk further and further down a path of no return, one of cold and aloof dominance ... ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ryuxenji the translator here. :3 Here are some other things you should know: 1) This story is NOT primarily a romance. QI's system right now categorizes all novels taken from the female novel Chinese site (起点女生网) as 'romance' without fail, regardless of whether they truly are romance. So, if you are here just for the romance, you might want to find a different novel. There will be some romance eventually, but most of this novel is Sci-Fi/Xianxia with a lot of world-building and character development. 2) I use British spelling. So, please ensure spelling errors are really errors before reporting them. 3) No matter what the release rate up top says, the guaranteed release rate right now is 1 chp/day (a.k.a. 7 chps/week). All else is extra at my discretion. (I'll try my best, but RL responsibilities come first.)
