…He knelt before her in the posture of a soldier giving honor to their Queen. And she didn’t even know it.

“Harth,” he rasped, “I come empty-handed. I bring no weapon. Because I swear to you, I will never choose to harm you. Never draw your blood—in anger, or in fear. I bring no shield. Because I vow I will never defend myself from your eyes, your hands, your mind. I am yours.”

After a year of peace in Anima, Tarkyn finds himself… lonely. As the Captain of the Queen’s Guard and a lion-shifter, he has met every female in the tribes, but never found his mate. Certain he must have overlooked someone, Tarkyn undertakes a grueling ritual, pleading with the Creator to reveal her. But the ritual presses him to the end of even his formidable strength.

Yet, the Creator heard his cry…

Discovered on the brink of death by his mate, Harth, and nursed back to health, Tarkyn now faces the most difficult battle of his life. Because Harth isn’t just a stranger to the Anima, she is a weapon of the humans who tried to destroy them.

Can the love of a warrior and his enemy bring peace to Anima? Or will they be torn apart forever by war between their peoples?

Kyros was no hero—nor was he a villain. A pragmatist to the core, he turned Earth into a chessboard of chaos, bending nations and empires to his will before meeting his end. But death was only the beginning. The Devil intervened, pulling Kyros into Hell with an irresistible proposition: a second chance at life in a world far removed from Earth—a world named Neva.In this fantastical realm of knights, nobility, magic, and divine power, Kyros becomes the key piece in a wager between God and the Devil. Reborn as Rasmus Blackheart, a disgraced young noble, his task is clear: unleash chaos and topple the order of Neva, just as he did on Earth. But the Devil has added a twist to the game—he’ll serve as Rasmus’s companion, not as a guide but as a mischievous, manipulative force, more likely to hinder than help.Navigating a world brimming with intrigue and divine interference, Rasmus must survive, scheme, and rise from ruin to reshape Neva in his image. Will his cunning be enough to outwit his foes—and his so-called ally—or will this chaotic partnership lead to his downfall?

Seventeen years ago, the Su family held the wrong child!

The fake daughter-in-law occupies the magpie’s nest and robs the loved ones and fiancé that should belong to the real daughter.

The real daughter has left her hometown, the phoenix that has landed is not as good as a chicken, and she is so poor that she does not have a mobile phone.

As soon as this gossip came out, everyone in City B was waiting for the real palace fight drama.

Surprisingly, the true and false daughters who were supposed to fight to the death actually joined forces!

It’s so outrageous!

The real daughter, Su Yunshao, is a celestial master. He plays cats and dogs in the countryside, casts out ghosts and farms. Don’t be too hilarious.
On that day, the biological parents and King Yama came to the door.
Dad Su: “You have suffered.”
Su Ma: “Go home with your parents!”
Hades: “This king has finally found you! It’s a ghost!”
Su Yunshao: ? ? ?

She wants to buy whitening pills for her mother, hair growth cream for her father, and repair liquid for her brother.
However, in the system’s daily grand platform, the points for reading books, doing questions, and writing papers are pitifully small, but the good things in the mall are expensive.
On that day, the real daughter came back, and the system burst into the trenches.
Su Yunshao entered the experimental class, points +300
Top ten in Su Yunshao’s class, points +800
Su Yunshao’s top ten grades, points +2000
The fake daughter looked at the real daughter with eyes like the savior: “Sister, let’s take the Qingbei exam together! Do you like the Department of Physics or the Department of Chemistry?”
Su Yunshao: “…” The ghost’s hand trembled slightly.

1. The main family and career.
2. True and false daughters join forces, not infighting.

- Description from novelbuddy

Kang Li woke up in the body of the sickly beauty, the youngest daughter of the Kang family in Aoli Village, who had been spoiled and pampered all her life.The original host had a tough life, first being dumped, then marrying a divorced man in a fit of anger to become a stepmother, only to find herself unfortunately becoming the control set for another stepmother in the courtyard.She could certainly be considered a top contender for cannon fodder among supporting female characters.But to Kang Li, none of this was a problem.All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish.Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly!Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad!However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress.The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall.Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step.A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier.Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.
