Whispers Under the Archduke's Gaze

Author_Lyse
I was born into a modest viscount family with a simple dream: to live a quiet, cozy life surrounded by my butterfly familiars, far away from the headaches of high society. That dream crumbled the day I was kidnapped by none other than Archduke William Alastair—known as the empire's most feared man, a warbeast. Apparently, a mysterious informant told him that my butterflies possess the power to suppress the curse he bears—news to me. "Even if that’s true, I’ve never heard of it before, let alone know how to use it!" "Then you'll stay here until you figure it out. Only then will I let you go." His golden eyes—like a predator’s—watched me as if I were already his. A single glance sent chills down my spine. My once-peaceful life shattered, replaced by uncertainty, fear... and something else I can't name. Can I escape this beastly Archduke? Or will I be the one to tame the curse—and perhaps, his heart?

The Villains Must Win

I’m a proud NEET who’s devoured every romance novel, manga, webtoon, and otome game out there. Just when I thought I’d conquered it all, a black bunny appeared in my dream. “Congrats! You’ve been chosen to help villains win across multiple worlds!” “Like a game?” “Uh . . . sure.” “Great, I’m in!” And just like that, I became an agent of the Villain System. Time to rewrite some happily-ever-afters—villain style. **[NOTE!]** This novel features multiple short arcs, each exploring different tropes such as ancient China, the modern world, beasts, werewolves, vampires, fantasy, school romance, idol groups—you name it! The twist? Each arc focuses on our MC making the villain (male) triumph over the male and female leads. The story is written primarily in 2nd and 3rd person POV for a dynamic and immersive experience. || Excerpt || [WARNING! MATURE Content Ahead!] “Then serve me . . . properly.” The command was both sensual and authoritative, and Xue Li’s pulse quickened under his intense gaze. The air between them grew heavy, her trembling hands faltering as she began to run the sponge across his chest, her touch featherlight against his scars. “Y-yes your majesty.” Han Feng leaned back slightly, watching her through half-lidded eyes, his expression unreadable. “Slower,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that made her pulse skip. “You’re trembling,” he said, his voice velvet smooth, making her flinch. “I-It’s the steam, Your Majesty,” she stammered, though she knew it was a poor excuse. Han Feng chuckled softly, the sound deep and rich. “Hmm . . . Is that so? Then you have no problem cleaning my cock right?” Xue Li's eyes trembled, on the verge of tears, which seemed to please Han Feng. His smile grew wider as he urged her on. "Go on. You're going to serve me properly, aren't you?"
