WARNING! CONTAINS DARK CONTENT! Six Concubines, One Emperor. One he hates the most. But why? When Princess Aurora Evanov of Rovamer is married off to Emperor Tesarius Izekail of Lanterbur, she is met with hostility from all sides. Being the last concubine among the six, she is often bullied for her naive and sensitive nature and disregarded for being a foreigner. If Aurora thought she's find some solace in their shared husband, she is awfully proven wrong. Tesarius harbors an uncertain hatred towards to foreign princess, so much, that he makes a mockery of Aurora's presence in the palace, by making her the one and only Consort wearing a mask. Aurora, being the naive girl that she is, continues to follow Tesarius's unjust orders in order to achieve his love. Hoping that someday he'll see her worth. But all that flies out of the window when the Harem is attacked. But no one comes to save Aurora. Not even her beloved Emperor. Realizing that she had been blinded by one sided love and was never going to win this battle, Aurora tosses her love for the Emperor aside, and decides to make her own place in Palace. But how will she do that? When she is surrounded by Hyena's from all sides? Will Aurora's naive nature succeed? Or will she wither away in the middle of Royal politics? Or, Will Tesarius eventually regret his actions, and realize his long lost love for her? If so, Will Aurora ever accept him back?

I remember, I was shot multiple times and fell into the cliff. My body landed on the cold water of the river, the impact was unbearable and painful. The water pulled me deeper, to the darkness and the deafening silence of the void. The gunshot still echoes in my ears and the wounds are aching badly I want to scratch it . Yet, what's more painful is an act of betrayal I never saw coming. I was blind and naive to never saw that coming. The person I trusted, the person I kept and sheltered, makes a fool out of me. The most ungrateful person I knew. I feel like every memories are coming back to me, from my childhood----how I was trained to kill people and do bad things. How I actually kill someone, how I manage to escape from that place and how I manage to be on top--and finally---here. My greatest downfall. I am Elise Cheong. The most wanted fugitive in all of Asia. A ruthless force, an untouchable criminal the authorities couldn't even get close to. I am a woman of pride, honor, and darkness. A name spoken in whispers, feared by all who cross it. My power is not just a shield—it's a fortress. A sanctuary that protects me from the chaos, from the world that waits to tear me apart. I am Elise Cheong. But at some point, I know that I am also someone else. Someone young, kind and loving person. A person who lives a peaceful life despite the chaos caused by creatures that lurks around that vast wall. I still remember it, a sharp sword pierced my heart ----swift and precise. My body landed on the cold grass as my blood drip from my fatal wound. I was naive, I am always that way---but that merciless betrayal was too much for me to handle. Trusting is both a scary and fleeting thing, an immense feeling of a brief companion yet, a darkness that a person can ever imagine. I am Victoria Harper. There is a power within me, yet I chose to conceal and live normally. I prefer a peaceful world, even with the darkness around me. I protect myself and the people I cared about without shredding blood and wounding anyone. I am powerful because of that. I am Victoria Harper. I was one or both of them, and somehow, I lost both and became another person.

Princess Rosemary is a wilted flower in her father’s court. Born into a society that puts power on a pedestal, her frail body and faltering angelic powers earn only scorn from the nobles and icy contempt from her father.

Yet, it might already be too late as she's dragged under the raging river. As all hope seems lost, a pair of cold eyes peer back at her. Would their owner bring the salvation she so desperately craves, or a continuation of the emotional torment she has endured since she was a child?

The Story: A Journey of Broken Trust and Unexpected Love What would you do if the person you loved most tried to kill you? Firion never saw it coming—literally. The last thing his eyes ever saw was her. The woman he trusted. The one he would’ve died for. And then… she threw acid in his face and walked away like he meant nothing. Now, scarred, half-blind, and alone in the wild, Firion is just trying to survive. But then she appears—not his betrayer, but a stranger. A woman with no reason to help him… and yet, she does. Can kindness from a stranger heal the wounds of betrayal? She carried him from the woods. He didn’t know her name… but those horns—he’d never forget. Would you trust someone who looks like the people who destroyed your life? He woke up in a stranger’s bed—safe, treated, warm. She had a gentle voice and a kindness Firion hadn’t felt in decades. But when his fingers brushed against her horns… Everything came crashing back. His village. The fire. The screams. She says she’s not like them. But how do you separate a person from the past they remind you of? In a world where demons burned his home, killed his family, and took everything from him—Firion never thought he’d wake up in a demon’s house. Let alone be saved by one. Is Kaida truly different… or is that what she wants him to believe?

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

Fifty thousand dollars!" someone barked like they were auctioning off livestock. That was the first thing I heard when I woke up—chained, collared, and confused. You’re probably wondering how I ended up here. Yeah… me too. One moment, I was yelling into a megaphone in front of Bio Gen Tower, protesting their twisted experiments on women’s fertility. The next? I was injected, blacking out as my protest sign got stomped into the pavement. I didn’t wake up in a hospital. I woke up in a whole new world. Here, I’m not a protester. I’m not even a person. I’m a Breeder. Apparently, my new body belongs to a rare class of women with "high fertility"—a walking womb meant to repopulate a kingdom on the brink. And just my luck? I was bought at a dark auction by five dangerously powerful Alpha brothers. Each one wants something different from me: The cold, commanding heir who sees me as property. The sly second who toys with me for fun. The hostage prince who hides daggers in every smile. And the wild twin brothers—charming, reckless, and always watching. They think I’m just a tool. A means to an heir. But I didn’t die fighting for women’s freedom just to become someone’s pet. They may have bought my body, but my mind? My fire? That still belongs to me. And if they think I’ll roll over and obey… They’re not ready for the kind of woman I really am. ---

When I was young, my older brother used to say: "Life is like a billiard table—a journey full of collisions and calculations." Back then, I didn't quite understand. When I grew up and became a Grade I senior engineer, I thought I had it figured out—that everything could be solved with formulas and science. Including the fear within me: ATSM—a condition that makes my body "numb" and ache whenever I face pressure. It stripped away my ability to hold a cue stick, preventing me from pursuing my passion for billiards. Don't be mistaken—this autobiography isn't about "a billiards journey." This is a story about souls brave enough to abandon safety to rediscover my life's meaning.

This story is about second chances, quiet strength, and the unexpected ways people can find each other when they need it most.
