The Bride in Velvet Chains

Quinzelll
TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains dark themes including emotional manipulation, psychological trauma, blood consumption, violence, unhealthy family dynamics, and depictions of power imbalance. Reader discretion is advised. "Blood. Desire. Betrayal. And a girl caught in the fangs of it all." When Annette is sent to the enigmatic Heinz family's castle for bridal lessons, she expects cold etiquette and suffocating tradition-not six dangerously beautiful vampire brothers with secrets darker than the night. At the center of it all is Shuu, her aloof fiancé, whose languid indifference hides a hunger that sends shivers down her spine. But the Heinz brothers are more than just predators; they are rivals, each with his own twisted game, and Annette has unwittingly become their favorite pawn. As she navigates a world where one wrong move could mean her death-or worse-Annette must decide where her loyalty lies: with her own survival, with the hauntingly captivating Shuu, or with a future steeped in blood. In a house where love and cruelty are two sides of the same coin, only one thing is certain: the deeper she's drawn into their web, the harder it will be to escape. Perfect for fans of dark romance and heart-pounding gothic intrigue. This is a work of fan fiction based on the Diabolik Lovers series created by Rejet.

Beastmen Are Crazy, So I Sell Them Therapy

Blanca Frostine transmigrated into the very beast-world novel she’d been reading. Great. Fantastic. Even better? This world had a massive problem. In this empire, beastmen suffered from a condition called Hysteria. When their emotions spiked, they lost control and turned into rampaging monsters. When their emotions dipped too low, they reverted into small, helpless beast cubs. Therapy existed, technically, in the form of rare energy stones—but there was a catch. The stones only worked if they were hand-carved into the exact animal form of the beastman. The more realistic the sculpture, the stronger the calming effect. The more lifelike the carving, the more times it could be reused. Which was where Blanca’s luck kicked in. In her previous life, she’d been a legendary sculptor—wealthy, talented, and famously difficult to deal with. Her works were so vivid they felt like they were breathing. People waited months just to beg for a commission, and because she had zero patience for nonsense, the art world had crowned her with a fitting title: The Sculptress. So when Blanca realized she could carve energy stones better than anyone in this world, romance was not her first concern. Powerful beast husbands? Fated mates? Tragic, handsome generals with emotional damage? She waved all of it away. “I’ll date later,” she decided calmly. “After I get rich.” And so, instead of a love story, she opened a shop. A small, suspiciously low-effort store suddenly appeared on the Regional Network, selling palm-sized sculptures carved with terrifying realism. Just looking at the screen was enough to calm raging emotions. The empire lost its mind overnight. Orders flooded in. Nobles panicked. The military took notes. Unfortunately, the shop owner was… Lazy, sharp-tongued, and deeply uninterested in customer satisfaction. “No rush orders.” “No refunds.” “Stop messaging me at 3 a.m.” “And stop flirting in the reviews.” Still, her sculptures sold out within seconds. What Blanca didn’t expect was the growing number of powerful beastmen who began appearing in her life—each claiming they just needed emotional treatment, each lingering a little too long, each staring at her hands like they were something far more dangerous than weapons. After all, in an empire full of beasts who lost control when their emotions ran wild, Blanca Frostine was the only one who could calm them with a touch. And while she kept insisting she wasn’t interested in love— Love, unfortunately, seemed very interested in her. “Screw finding a husband,” Blanca thought, carving another masterpiece. “…Why do they keep lining up anyway?”
