Romance

Betrayed by the man she loved and bound to a crown that no longer holds meaning, an empress chooses freedom over titles—only to discover that even love forsaken can rise again from ruin.

“Even the moon can rise again after being eclipsed by the sun.”
“He was of the empire. She became the moon that outshone him.”

—
Bound by duty. Betrayed by love. Reborn by choice.

Elisana Laurel De Claire, daughter of a grand ducal house, was destined to be Empress – and for a time, she believed in the fairytale. Betrothed since childhood to her dearest friend, Crown Prince Marcus, their union was meant to bring peace and glory to the Salastian Empire.

But love fades beneath the weight of power. When another woman captures the Emperor’s heart, Elisana’s world shatters. Neglected, accused, and stripped of affection, she makes a choice no one expects – she walks away from the crown.

Years later, when rebellion threatens the empire, fate brings them together once more. This time, Marcus must face the woman he once forsook – not as his Empress, but as his equal.

Amid courtly intrigue, forgiveness, and the fragile bloom of second chances, The Forsaken Empress tells a story of heartbreak and healing – where even the moon can rise again after the darkest night.

Life is ironic. Love and hatred are but two sides of the same coin. Emotions change quickly.

Sometimes she was too slow, maybe that was why she didn’t see it coming.

To the one she thought she knew, the wounded her ended up saying,

“You were my one and only real friend, I thought I was yours too.”
“… You are right. And because you are, I need you to die,” he had answered.

***

To the one she thought would never understand her, the suffering her requested,

“A lie. Just a last one, before my death… Lie to me again.” Despite the pain, the smile on her face was sweet, a genuine one as she made that plea.

“I love you,” he had whispered.

“Brother, you are a disgrace to our empire!” the Emperor roared, his voice echoing in the throne room. “You drown yourself in wine while your niece, the brightest jewel of the empire, is being courted by geniuses and kings!”

Leaning lazily against a pillar, Wei Feng took a long swig from his wine jug and let out a discreet burp.

“Mmm… And what’s the problem?” he replied, his voice slurred. “Those ‘geniuses’ are just noisy peacocks. And as for the jewel of the empire… she already has an owner.”

Wei Feng, the Drunken Prince, the Royal Failure who renounced the throne. Everyone in the empire sees him as a useless parasite. What they don’t know is that, in the shadows, this decadent prince is building a collection of the most powerful, beautiful, and dangerous women the world has ever known.

And the first piece in his collection, the most precious and forbidden, is the Crown Princess herself.

“The heavens could strike me down with a thousand bolts of lightning, and the ancestors could curse my name for ten thousand years…” he whispered to her one night, his warm breath against her earlobe as her body trembled under his touch. He paused, a smile that could almost be felt in the darkness. “…and still, every second of this sin with you would be worth it. Let them call me a demon. What kind of demon wouldn’t enjoy corrupting an angel?”

I woke up with no memory at all.
“…”
But this man was always beside me. Somehow he could find me anywhere I would go.
“… who are you?”
“I’m your husband”
“…”
So I did what every sane person would do in my place as they confronted an unexpected situation.

I ran away.

“You can’t run around with no memory at all. You need me.”
“Bullshit.”

So I ran away again.

…but why are all those people after me?? Why do they want me dead?!

“Catch the demon! She’s going to kill us all!”
“What? What demon?”

And why is everyone chasing me now?? Starting with the Holy Order, The Royal Knights and even that Immortal Head Mage from that Tower who wants to die??

“Finally, I found you”
“F*ck off, she’s my wife.”
“…”

….Where did you learn to curse like that??

Reborn as a scorned noble with “useless” plant magic, she inherits a salt‑bitten coast riddled with pirates and bad soil. Everyone calls it hopeless. She calls it paradise.

So she does what botanists do: test, train, and grow. Mangroves and windbreaks. Rain traps and smarter drills. Krav Maga for thirty‑five stubborn soldiers who don’t trust her yet.

And love interests who can’t help but be drawn in: an illegitimate son with grudges, a foreign prince, a shrewd count, and the archduke’s heir—the empire’s most eligible bachelor, hiding secrets of his own.

In the original story, she was meant to die in obscurity. This time, she’ll make the march a kingdom, one root and one fight at a time.

Rielle Hart never wanted love.
She never wanted fate.
She only wanted to survive.

A nameless orphan with no dreams beyond warm meals and a roof over her head, Rielle becomes a palace maid in the royal court of Aveloria—where ambition is punished, and curiosity can be fatal.

Her rule is simple:

Never stand out. Never be noticed. Never look at the Crown Prince.

Then, on her very first night, she drops a lantern at his feet.

The silver-eyed Crown Prince—cold, untouchable, and rumored to be cursed—should have punished her on the spot.

Instead, he laughs.

From that moment on, the palace begins to shift.

Assignments change.
Glances linger.
And the Crown Prince, who has rejected every noblewoman placed before him, starts paying attention to a maid who wants nothing from him.

At first, Rielle believes it’s a mistake.
Then a coincidence.
Then a threat.

Because in the palace, being seen is more dangerous than being hated.

She doesn’t know why the Crown Prince watches her.
She doesn’t know what he wants from her.
And she certainly doesn’t know what fate is quietly rewriting behind her back.

All she knows is this—

She never asked to be chosen.

And yet, of all people, he chose her.

A slow-burn romantic fantasy about survival, power, and a girl who wanted only peace—until the Crown Prince made her the center of his world.

Ellen Grace used to have it all: a good family background, good friends, and a good lover. However, one day, her best friend Alexis and lover betray her, destroying everything Ellen knew about them. Determined to have her revenge, she sets off to become a powerful businesswoman and make them regret. After all, revenge is a dish best served cold, right?

After her father was framed for poisoning the Prime Minister’s son to death, Ning Qingyu was hit on the back of the head by the “officers” who came to arrest their family.

Upon waking up, she feigned madness in order to escape persecution.

Later, she married the comatose Marquis of Zhenbei, whose birth charts matched hers perfectly.

A halfwit thus ended up marrying a comatose guy.

Xiao Yu seemed to hear someone calling him from the darkness. That voice was saying: “If you want to live, hold on until I can make the antidote.”

I opened my eyes in a novel I once read — as Emilia Evelisse Valmont, the villainess destined to be abandoned, accused, and condemned. They called her the Ice Queen: flawless, untouchable, and unloved. Her engagement shattered, her reputation ruined, her end inevitable… unless I chose to live differently.

But this is not my story.

From the Crown Prince’s eyes, she was only ever cold — until the day he saw her laugh. To the world, she was a villainess. To him, she became something else entirely. His curiosity turned into fascination, his mask began to crack, and the ‘Ice Queen’ who was meant to fall became the woman he could no longer look away from.

A reincarnated villainess. A perfect noble mask. And a romance told from the man who never expected to find his heroine in her.

Long ago, a witch’s love made the empire flourish—yet her betrayal gave birth to a curse. Burned at the stake by the man she trusted, she vowed his descendants would never escape her wrath.

Three years after the destruction of Seraphin Village, a runaway girl named Aveline hides her past beneath a quiet life of labor. But when whispers of the Grand Duke’s household reach her, fate begins to stir once more. Drawn into the shadow of a bloodline bound by the witch’s curse, Aveline must choose between survival, truth, and a destiny written long before her birth.

In a time when differences serve only to divide, the existence of a woman, Reina, defies it all, blurring lines between right and wrong. Reina was never born to take the crown, yet a single sin leads her to the seat of glory.

That sin Johannes von Eisenwald now wishes to undo, a sin committed by a man born to bring down the monarch. In a world scarred by war, can one be both redeemer and executioner? Can a choir of dissonance find its
rhythm in a divided world?

Dissonance is a historical romance set in the ruins of a fallen monarchy, where love and betrayal weigh heavier than war. This is a story for you who love slow burn, yearning, morally gray characters and forbidden romance.

Princess Aria of Eravi and Crown Prince Zen of Sevelrum are soon to be married but Zen seems to know Aria more than what meets the eyes and Aria feels strangely nostalgic and attached to him. Read the novel to find out!!!

Born in a world where mana defines everything — power, status, even existence — Aizen Caelmir was born with none. Labeled a failure, ignored by his noble family, and discarded by society… he should’ve been broken. But the world forgot one thing: Not all power comes from mana.

Enrolled in the elite Zenrai Academy, Aizen must navigate elemental exams, rival prodigies, masked cults, ancient bloodlines, and a growing darkness that no one sees coming.

Between cold rivals, stormborn queens, and friends with secrets of their own — his journey has just begun.

He’s not here to prove himself.

He’s here to break the system.

She married in her legitimate elder sister’s place and spent ten years without a single regret, only to have her family fortune seized and meet a tragic death at the hands of a scum male.

Reborn for a second life, she vows to tear off the hypocritical masks of her elder sister and stepmother, beat down the black-hearted concubines, trample those so-called “pure white lotuses”, and hug her vast fortune as she sleeps, laughing herself awake!

Yet on her road to amassing wealth, there’s always that unreliable imperial uncle hovering in front of her eyes, pestering her with, “I want a kiss, I want a hug…”

She rolls her eyes, “Get lost.”

“One kiss for ten thousand gold taels.”

She instantly turns around, “Deal.”
