Ahanuwa_B_Osarugue
Sebastian Jasio Lolek Jakub never lost a war. Groomed as Dayo's infamous stepson, he carved his name into history as one of the most ruthless mafia lords of his time. Feared in the underworld, respected in high society, he wore his power like armor and believed nothing could conquer him. But passion is the one enemy no empire can defeat. When love sneaks past his defenses, Sebastian finds himself fighting a battle unlike any other - a war of the heart. Sharon lived a different life entirely. The spoiled daughter of a wealthy man, she had everything money could buy - and the arrogance to match. To her, the world existed to bend at her will, and love was a game she never needed to play. But life has a cruel way of humbling even the proud. One twist of fate drags her back into the arms of the past she thought she left behind, forcing her to face the one person she never dreamed of falling for - the quiet dormmate she once mocked and dismissed as nothing more than a nerd. Two lives. Two broken heirs bound by blood, roses, and legacies heavier than they can bear. He hides behind power. She hides behind pride. But when destiny threads their paths towards the ones they'd swore to die than fall, neither power nor pride will be enough to shield them from the fire of love. This is not just their story - it is the story of how empires crumble, how passion defies the strongest walls, and how even the most unlikely hearts can burn for one another.

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
