“Do you think you're something special just because the Young Duke favors you? Answer me. Or did you seduce the Young Duke with that face of yours? Did you agree to be his personal servant?” “No.” “Ha! No? What do you mean no? You probably snuck in to warm his bed at night, didn't you?” “No.” Finally, at the absurd accusation, Arthur spoke. The man who had been taunting him, excited by this first response, grinned, revealing yellowed teeth. His face was a stark…- 72.7 K • Ongoing
- Vivian's gaze, wavering slightly, shifted towards the group harassing Arthur. Obscured by the mansion's shadows, their figures weren't clear, so Vivian frowned, peering intently. A puzzled expression crept across her face as she tilted her head. Who are they? I've never seen them before. Servants, perhaps? They couldn't be vassals, knights, or coachmen. Even Vivian, as indifferent as she could be to her surroundings, wouldn't forget faces she'd encountered. She'd at least have a vague…

As twilight deepened, Lilian couldn't discern Cairn's expression. He broke the suffocating silence of the dense darkness. “…Lilian, do you… do you like me?” Cairn’s hand, resting gently on her thigh, trembled slightly. “No! I didn’t mean it like that.” Lilian shook her hand dismissively, and he sighed deeply. “If you didn’t, then why are you making such a… preposterous request?” “Why is a kiss preposterous? We used to kiss each other on the…- 17.5 K • Ongoing
She’d heard tales of seas frozen solid. The Duke’s eyes, fixed on hers, were just as icy, a chilling cerulean. Sophia felt her heart constrict, her spine straightening involuntarily. It was strange to feel fear when a man was asking to be called by his nickname. An instinct warned her not to defy him. “…Yes. I will.” The Duke’s smile returned, bright and disarming. “Good girl.” He briefly stroked her hair, a fleeting, impersonal touch. Yet, Sophia felt a lingering coldness wherever…- 41.7 K • Ongoing
Nina was right. Rumors of Lennard's unclaimed status had permeated high society. “But why?” I’d asked. “Well, I wouldn't know the details…” she’d replied with a troubled expression. Of course, even if it's true, Lennard is considered the strongest in this world. She wouldn’t speak of his weaknesses lightly. This unexpected news had me on edge. If he hadn't yet found a partner, Lennard was a walking time bomb. Awakened ones possessed immense power but fragile mental…- 50.3 K • Ongoing
Just as he finished speaking, the shop door opened. Seeing the newcomer, Shariette realized how long this charade had been in play. “Greetings, Raven. We meet again.” A vibrant man with fiery red hair and aqua eyes stood behind Noxian, offering her a greeting. His attire differed from when he’d visited a fortnight ago, seeking to purchase poison discreetly, but it was undoubtedly the same man. ‘I’ll pay any price, please.’ ‘I still can’t make poison.’ ‘Medicine, used…- 46.9 K • Ongoing
I screamed internally. Let me be clear, I absolutely do not like that crazy guy. I prefer someone kind and gentle. The reason I’m telling this lie is to protect Jade. Even Jade wouldn’t go after a friend’s boyfriend. “Why? Since when? Have you even met him?” “We met at the birthday banquet recently. I never thought someone so gallant and handsome could exist. It was love at first sight! Hahaha.” My voice trailed off into something resembling a monotone recitation as I lost myself in the…- 38.6 K • Ongoing
- Jade usually dated any handsome guy who confessed to her, but Cain was an exception. Cain, like our mother, was undeniably attractive, but Jade always rejected him outright with a cold "Get lost, Cain." I once asked her why Cain was a no-go. Jade gave me a meaningful look before curtly replying, “Just because. I don’t like him.” Is it because he’s my brother? Is she worried things would be awkward between us if they broke up? That’s what I initially thought. But my opinion changed over time.…

Did I do something wrong?”“I’m bored.”“But… we just started dating yesterday….” I sputtered, spraying the tea I’d been drinking.Jade Stuart was a natural-born heartbreaker from a young age.

- *** To begin this story, we must go back to the winter I turned eleven. That day, I had a shocking dream. I swear, before that dream, I was an ordinary child. A spoiled little girl from a marquisate, perhaps a bit of a princess, but ordinary nonetheless. I even had a crush. The kind and handsome second son of the Duke, Lawrence Avery. I called Lawrence my prince and indulged in elaborate fantasies.In my pink diary, under the title “Princess Lumina’s Dream,” I’d written my goals: Enter the…
