Prisoner of the Throne

Prisoner of the Throne

Blue_Pizza
Li Empire is the largest and most prosperous territory in Yuan Continent—on the surface. Internally, it is divided: ministers collude with nobility, the empress and empress dowager contest for power, and the emperor faces threat of illegitimacy as long as his brother lives. That is why, when Li Zhen Tian meets the kind and carefree Yang Zi Hua who understands him beyond the Dragon Throne, he irrevocably falls in love and makes her his consort. However, the imperial palace's harsh reality shatters Zi Hua's dream of a peaceful life. Amidst jealous love rivals and endless plots, a seed of doubt is sown. Can their love flourish against adversity, or is it destined to wither like a flower past spring? *** Shangguan Jiu was Zi Hua's best friend—and her complete opposite. Cunning, rational, and fiercely ambitious, Jiu enters the rear palace to accomplish everything her friend couldn't. Though as she schemes for glory and honour, she realises the only way for a woman to be in power is not through a man's heart... but to be the hand controlling him. Old enemies and grievances surface, while political tensions escalate with neighbouring nations, heralding a new era. Love and war arise; tears and kingdoms fall. Does the ruler wear the crown, or are they a prisoner of the throne? *** Notes: Cover art from Pinterest 2 Female leads Palace drama > political drama > warfare

The Billionaire's Talented Wife

Hazel Carson was abandoned as a baby and raised by a covert organization. She was trained in strategy, survival, and deception. At 18, she's given a file—her mother is dead, but her father is a powerful tycoon with four sons and a new wife. Her mission: infiltrate the Carson family as their long-lost heiress to complete one final task. Only then will she earn her freedom. Before sending her off, her handler reminds her coldly: “Remember, they’re your targets, not your family.” To the Carson household, she appears fragile, naïve, and awkward—just a quiet country girl with no manners. “Her background is complicated,” the stepmother says with a tight smile. “Don’t expect too much from her.” Meanwhile, in the upper echelons of power, a silent message circulates: Hazel Carson has returned. Keep your distance. One day, the eldest Carson brother investigates a digital ghost—a legend in underground circles known as “Specter.” He follows a thread of encrypted data… and the trail ends with Hazel. He stares at the screen, stunned. So the little sister who “couldn’t even use a phone” is actually the one who has been silently pulling strings in the shadows. And her mission? It's not just about family—it’s about dismantling everything they thought they knew.

I Was Born With A Bloodline That Ended The World

Rhian Locke only wanted strength. To face the monster that slaughtered his parents while he watched, helpless. "I never asked to be your savior. So why should I care?" All he hoped for was to reach a decent rank, hunt that beast down, maybe become a monster hunter, and retire in peace. "I’m not a slave to the gods. I don’t exist to do their bidding." But the world had made its decision long before he was born. "Patterns are meant to be broken." --- --- “Boy, I’ve bathed in the blood of your kind. I’ve crushed those stronger than you.” Lightning cracked across the sky. A hammer flew to the hand of a god. “I won’t let a deceiver’s spawn and a whore’s bastard son, stand before me and declare my end.” Rhian stepped forward, blood trailing from his mouth, eyes locked. “I’m not here to declare your end,” he said coldly. “I’m here to fulfill it.” .... NOTE: this story contains mythology, romance, mainly action and a well planned story line. ●Battle maniac ●1 female lead ●the story picks up after a few chaps, from there I guess you could say the pace will move fast. ●epic fight scenes against unique enemies
