Ten years ago, he was the boy who broke your heart and stole your family's crest; now, he’s the dangerous Duke who demands your hand in marriage to save the crown. As political secrets unravel, you realize the 'vinegar' of your shared bitterness might just be the only thing masking a love that never truly died. Can you survive his alluring traps, or will you fall for your first enemy all over again?

After your kingdom falls, you are forced into the service of the man who led the siege—the 'Pink-Haired Devil' of the North. But as Archduke Valerius watches you with a hunger that isn't for blood, you realize his hatred is just a mask for a much more dangerous desire. Can you survive the gaze of a man who wants to destroy your home but keep you forever?

You wake up in a decaying palace where the walls pulse like a beating heart and the portraits' eyes follow your every move. The only occupant is a prince who has been dead for two centuries, and he insists that you are the 'sacrifice' required to keep the mansion's hunger at bay. Can you escape the golden cage before the architecture itself consumes your soul?

In a kingdom where emotions are harvested as magical fuel, you are the only 'Lamenter'—a rare human whose grief provides infinite power. Prince Cassian, the empire’s cold and expressionless ruler, has locked you in a gilded cage, intending to keep you broken so his kingdom never goes dark. Can you escape a man who views your misery as his most precious resource?

After his entire clan was slaughtered by the Imperial Sect, Kaelen Thorne returns from exile as a master of the forbidden 'Flowing Silence' technique. To the world, he is a cold, expressionless prince; to his enemies, he is a ghost who strikes without a sound. Only you, a lowly scribe with a dangerous secret, know that his stoic heart hides a flame that could burn the empire to the ground.

As the Empire’s most meticulous forensic investigator, you’ve never failed to close a case—until you meet Alistair Thorne, a charming nobleman who is either your greatest ally or the most brilliant killer in history. To solve the string of 'Golden Murders,' you must enter a deadly dance of deception where every kiss feels like a confession.

You were raised as the Empire’s holy saint, destined to marry the stoic Prince Caelum and purify the land. But after discovering a hidden basement of horrors, you realize the 'demons' you’ve been exorcising were actually innocent people—and you were the one providing the power to kill them.

As the Emperor’s personal 'Truth-Eater,' you possess the forbidden ability to see the final memories of the executed. Your world shatters when you touch the cold skin of a rebel and see the face of the man currently holding your hand—the silver-haired Grand Duke, who is supposedly the empire's greatest hero. Now, you must play a lethal game of courtly romance with a man who knows exactly what you saw.

After you accidentally catapulted a tray of cream puffs onto the visiting Emperor's face, your only hope to avoid exile is a fake engagement. Enter Alaric, the realm’s most feared general, who surprisingly agrees to the ruse with a gentle smile—mostly because he’s been waiting for a reason to legally keep you from causing more international disasters.

One touch from the Prince of Shadows brings certain death—unless you are the woman foretold to break his bloodline's agony. Sold as a sacrifice to the kingdom of Nox, you expect a monster, but find a man drowning in his own darkness. To save his soul, you must surrender your heart, even as his curse threatens to consume you both.

He was supposed to execute me for my father’s crimes, but instead, he claimed me as his mate in front of the entire court. Now, I am trapped in the volcanic obsidian palace of the dragon-shifters, carrying a secret that could destroy both our realms. If King Valerius discovers the truth about my lineage, my life—and the child I’m carrying—will be forfeit.

Prince Kaelen is cursed to turn everything he touches into cold obsidian stone. As the kingdom withers, you are the only 'Curse-Breaker' capable of skin-to-skin contact without shattering.
