I became the villainess and married the cold duke

“My patience is a very expensive commodity, little bird, and you are currently burning through the budget.” The deep, layered baritone vibrated right through the stone floorboards, carrying a low, demonic rumble that turned the air to pure ice. Draven leaned back against the royal headboard, his bare torso glistening with sweat, while pitch-black obsidian scales lazily receded down his muscular arms. His dual-colored eyes—one a predatory, glowing crimson, the other a fractured, stormy silver—tracked my trembling form with absolute, dangerous boredom. "I... I was just looking at the window," I stammered, clutching the bedsheets to my chest. Draven let out a soft, insufferable sigh, a dangerous smirk playing at the edge of his lips as a giant, dark-feathered raven materialized out of the shadows and settled heavily onto his scaled shoulder. "Then look somewhere else before I decide your neck looks better in a noose. Go to sleep, Seraphina. Or don't. Personally, I find the prospect of your execution rather entertaining." --- ### **** **"So naive, Melanie. So stupid."** Those were the last words I heard before a bullet ended my life. Betrayed by my best friend and murdered by the man she loved, I thought the darkness of death was final. Instead, I woke up inside a web novel. Not as the beloved heroine. Not even as a lucky side character. I opened my eyes as **Seraphina Helene Valemont**—the spoiled, doomed villainess destined to be brutally executed for treason by her own husband, the notoriously cold and terrifying Duke Draven Everfrost. Armed with complete knowledge of the original plot, my survival strategy was simple: 1. Avoid making fatal mistakes. 2. Avoid the high-society enemies. 3. Above all else, **AVOID THE DUKE.** Except, the story refuses to follow the script. The monstrous Duke who was supposed to despise me is suddenly dragging me out of blood wars, tossing me swords to fight my own battles, and lazily controlling my limbs with dark magic just to mock my executioners. The events I memorized by heart are fracturing. Deeply buried political secrets are clawing their way to the surface, and the future I relied on changes with every passing sunrise. As deadly conspiracies threaten the empire and old legends refuse to stay buried, I am caught between a fate I desperately need to escape… and a demon masquerading as a man whom I was never supposed to trust. But the deeper I dig into the dark history of the North, the more terrifying one question becomes: *What if the most dangerous thing in this story was never the villainess?* Because some monsters are not born. Some monsters choose to chain themselves. And some names should have remained forgotten. **[MISSION UPDATE: SURVIVE.]** **[WARNING: ORIGINAL STORYLINE HAS DEVIATED.]** **[WARNING: UNKNOWN ENTITY DETECTED.]** **[CURRENT RISK LEVEL: CRITICAL.]** --- **~Author's Note:~** *First time writing a long, serialized story!

[BL] The Fallen General's Entangled Fate (Reverse Harem)

After criticizing the ending of a tragic BL novel, War Prize, Yan Ling opens his eyes not in his bed, but on a blood-soaked battlefield, kneeling in chains as General Yan Ling of Shen Qi, the fallen empire’s majestic general. Now defeated, captured and alive as a war prisoner. The one who stands above him is Wei Li Feng—the ruthless young general who orchestrated Shen Qi’s fall, a man the world does not yet know is the crowned king of the victorious Wei Bing Empire. Cold, brilliant, and terrifyingly calm, Wei Lifeng does not want Yan Ling’s loyalty… but him instead. Taken alive as a symbol of conquest, Yan Ling is dragged into a fate far crueler than death—bound to an enemy king who finds pleasure in his defiance, fascination in his hatred, and ownership in his existence. But Wei Lifeng is not the only one watching. A playful enemy prince skilled in forbidden arts, a gentle immortal who offers warmth with utmost care and devotion, and a notorious Demon King whose obsession transcends life and death all converge around Yan Ling—each claiming him in their own way. As Yan Ling struggles to survive a world that extends beyond mortals and cultivation, he realizes something is deeply wrong. This is no longer the novel he read. Someone called him here deliberately and the twist? Among the men who desire him, one hides the truth of why Yan Ling was chosen—and what price must be paid for breaking the story’s original ending. Caught between power, obsession, war, and love, Yan Ling must uncover the will that summoned him… or let himself be consumed by a destiny that refuses to let him escape.
