Doomsday Boss Returnee: Lucian Crownwald

Delmi_Revier
Bathed in the blood of his true relatives, Lucien Valemont-No, Lucian Crownwald felt like the biggest and most ridiculous fool in Blue Sphere. He treated the enemy as precious treasures, and fell into their machinations. The enemy that kidnapped him, built him into a useful tool, and milked all of his worth to take down the Crownwalds by using their own bloodline. Endless regret was followed by endless despair at realizing he didn’t even have the chance to take revenge. As the only descendant left of the Crownwald, he became an eyesore to the Valemont, and the night after discovering the truth, his apartment burst up in raging flames. But, maybe he died with too much hate, regret and sorrow that a higher being decided to intervene, and gave him a glimmer of hope. A mechanical voice rang clearly in his dissipating consciousness. “Bzzt…Bzzt…The Returnee System is online.”

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.
