Chains Lifted: Her Second Act

She was the perfect daughter, shaping herself into whatever they wanted her to be. A flawless doll. A beautiful mask. She learned every smile, every move, playing her part without a single mistake, because this part of her life wasn’t hers... it was theirs. But not forever. One day, she would break free. No one would control her future or tell her who to become. She would be the one writing her own story. Yet, just as her plans were finally falling into place, everything started to crumble. One problem after another, surprises she never saw coming, and people who kept showing up in her life, no matter how many times she tried to push them away. Her life had always been hard, but these sudden changes pulled her into a storm she never asked for, making her question the very path she thought she was set on. Like a caterpillar fighting to build its cocoon, she is struggling to change. But deep down, she knows that once she breaks free, she will be a butterfly, ready to rise and fly higher than ever before. … “Let me tell you now, your kindness? I don’t need it. What you offer? I don’t want it. And a piece of advice, be careful with your kindness. It might bring pain to those you wish to protect, rather than support.” She turned her back, leaving him standing there, watching her retreat into the distance. … "Because I was like her once—filled with guilt. Those were the words I needed to hear, the ones I gave up hoping for long ago." He looked at her, his gaze softening with sympathy. “And you don’t seem like someone who’s ready to free herself from that guilt.” “Someday, maybe. But not yet. Not just yet.” “When that time comes,” he asked gently. “Will you tell me first?” She paused, meeting his eyes before a faint smile touched her lips. “I suppose I can do that much.” … “Whatever I’ve been through, no matter how difficult, I’m proud of it. I’ll never feel ashamed of the things I’ve done to reach this point.” She cupped his cheek, her touch gentle but firm. “So don’t feel bad for me. Be proud of me. While you weren’t there, you were always on my mind. You gave me the strength to keep going. Remember that.” He leaned into her hand, his voice quiet. “Then tell me… tell me everything you’ve experienced.” Currently 7 chapters a week... Another 2 for every 100 power stones mark...

Dear Alpha King, Please Steal Me Away

Lily was a terminally ill patient who clung to her life with all she had, desperately hoping she could change her fate, but fate can't be changed that easily. Fate was... Set in stone. And so, she died after fighting for fifteen years, at the age of 20, only to be reincarnated into a novel and became Lilah, who just so happens to be the unfortunate twin who would not live past 21. It seemed like her fate was to suffer once more and die an early age. After getting nothing but bullying for as long as she could remember in that household, Lilah expected nothing and knew her end was a dreadful one in the hands of the vampires. She did not fight fate anymore. It was more like she did not have the strength to. But once they started to change out of the blue, showing her kindness and showering her with little affection, she began to feel her heart lighten up, and this built a shaky tower of hope in her heart. Hope that maybe she wouldn't need to meet such a tragic fate in this life. And that hope made her wish to live. She wanted to live. And she would, but all she had to do was run. And she ran... Right into the arms of the Lycan King, who was meant to take her sister away and live a happily ever after with her. She was unaware of who he was at first. She could see his heart, which was purer than gold, and was captivated. It was like love at first sight for her, and she surrendered to this man, pleading that he take her away so she would not end up with the same fate as the original character. Will this chance encounter lead them to a happily ever after, blind Lilah never dreamed of? Or will it only spawn more troubles no one thought of? "It's only a matter of time before everything falls into place."

Favoured By The Grandmaster Who Can't Resist Me(BL)

“You said you would always treasure me.” The Grandmaster choked on blood, his body trembling beneath Chi Chengxin’s blade. “Is this how you love, Chi Cheng…? Destroying that which you love?” Chi Cheng leaned in close, his voice soft, almost tender, but there was also something dark. “No.” Then colder than winter steel, he answered again, “In all your perfections, dear Grandmaster, loving me was your greatest flaw. This is how I end things I should’ve never started.” ******* He was once Jing Ling, a celestial beast revered for his beauty and power. But punishment for his crimes in the heavenly courts left him banished, hunted, and broken. Stripped of his divinity, he escaped to the mortal realm, crawling into the cold body of a dead child from the Chi Clan. Now reborn as Chi Cheng, he is not free. His meridians are sealed, his power coiled like a beast in chains, and his name is a stain on his clan. Even in this second life, he suffers—mocked, unwanted, forgotten. All he wants is quiet. Peace. Maybe even the love of Han Yijun, the senior disciple of the Ice Sect he once adored as his lover. But on the day he arrives at the Northern Ice Sect, Han Yijun betrays him with another—and the fragile hope in Chi Cheng’s chest shatters like ice underfoot. Then comes the Grandmaster. A man who is feared by mortals and dangerous to the immortals. He’s meant to become a Celestial Hunter—trained to kill the very being Chi Cheng used to be. He doesn’t know who Chi really is. And yet… he can’t stop wanting him. Affection becomes obsession. Pain blurs with pleasure. Chi Cheng becomes an addiction the Grandmaster can't stop chasing, a dream he's wanted for years. And as demons rise, slaughtering sects in the shadows, an old lover from Jing Ling’s past returns—with one goal: to control him again and use him to bring darkness to the world again. Now Chi Cheng walks a knife’s edge. The love he sought is not easy. Nothing comes without blood. ****** He was reborn with sealed power, a shattered heart, and a bounty on his soul. But the one man meant to kill him… is the one he’s making fall in love. ********* Note: The story doesn't follow an omegaverse trope but there is a factor of mpreg much later in the story. join my discord server to chat with me: find link under my profile cover picture is ai made by me

Every Night, I See You

Every night, Grace, living in the modern era, is rescued in her dreams by a mysterious man, saving her from soldiers who threaten to arrest her in the past. The dreams feel so real, so vivid, that she begins to wonder if they hold some deeper meaning. As Grace struggles with her family's financial ruin—victims of fraud and scammers—she channels her emotions into writing a novel based on these recurring dreams. But when she meets Julian, she is stunned. He looks exactly like the man from her dreams. Is it just a coincidence, or is there something more at play? Grace can’t shake the unsettling thought that this man, to whom she feels an inexplicable connection, might be the same person she’s been meeting in her sleep. But that’s impossible, right? Julian, meanwhile, has a secret. He is not the man he appears to be. For over 130 years, he has lived without aging, stuck at the age of 35. When Julian meets Grace, he is struck with disbelief—she looks exactly like the woman he loved and lost 100 years ago. This can’t be real. She died long ago. Yet, there she is, alive and in the flesh, with no memory of their past. As their connection deepens, they are forced to confront the truth: they have met before, and their love is no accident. In a powerful, divine twist, they are granted a second chance to love each other, given by God’s infinite grace and guidance. As they unravel the mysteries of their past and present, they discover that their love spans both time and space, and they must face the challenges that come with their reunion. Together, they navigate the depths of their love, seeking to break the curse of Julian’s immortality and find true peace. With faith, courage, and divine guidance, they finally find the love they were always meant to have—and the freedom that comes with it.
