Intrigue Stories

Ye Lingxiao, daughter of the late Duke of Wei, was born with a noble name, an illustrious lineage, and everything a woman could possibly need to live a life of dignity. Yet she spent her entire life making herself smaller for the sake of others. After the deaths of her parents, Lingxiao was taken in by her maternal aunt and raised within the Chu family. Desperate to be loved and terrified of losing the only family she had left, she devoted herself to earning their affection. She endured every slight, surrendered every advantage, and constantly put the Chu family before herself. Most of all, she loved Chu Zhanfeng. Blinded by that love, she chased after him for years, believing that if she gave enough, sacrificed enough, and proved herself useful enough, he would eventually see her devotion. She used the influence and connections inherited from the Duke of Wei to open doors for the Chu family, secure opportunities for them, and elevate their status. She thought she was building a future with the man she loved. Instead, she was building the ladder they would use to climb over her. When the Chu family finally achieved everything they desired, Ye Lingxiao became nothing more than an inconvenience. Her usefulness had ended. Her family name had been exhausted. The affection she had desperately sought was revealed to have never truly existed. She was discarded. And she died with nothing but regret. But fate grants the dead what the living can never obtain-a second chance. And then there is Xie Yizhi. The mysterious nobleman whose name alone is enough to make powerful families cautious. To outsiders, Xie Yizhi is nothing more than a sickly young lord. He spends much of his time secluded from society, appears frail and incapable of enduring hardship, and is rumored to have a body too weak to live a long life.

Power runs in Reina's blood-raw, unfiltered, and dangerously rare. But in a world run by witches, power alone is never enough. Reina doesn't think the way she should. She doesn't love the way she should. She doesn't obey the way she should. And in a society where deviation is treated as betrayal, being different isn't just frowned upon-it's a death sentence. As whispers of her defiance spread and the coven begins to watch closer, Reina finds herself on the edge of something far more dangerous than punishment: banishment. Because the very thing that makes her wrong... may also make her unstoppable. And everyone knows one truth above all-no one fails the witches and lives to tell the tale.

From the minute she is sent to Hatfield, Mary Tudor's life would never be the same again. When Mary Tudor receives the letter she has been dreading for years, it changes her world more than she ever could have imagined. In a realm where obedience is demanded and women are expected to bend, Mary refuses to yield. The once indulged and sheltered heir to the throne of England is cast into the brutal and harsh reality of a kingdom determined to silence her. Living as a prisoner, and forced to serve as a maid to her usurping half-sister, the daughter of Marys' deadly enemy, her ill-treatment will ultimately shape her life as a pious and determinedly stubborn woman, holding fast to her identity in a world that insists she has none. Through four more of her father's marriages, a battle of religious liberty with her once adoring brother and her increasingly strained relationship with her sister, Mary must draw on her remarkable bravery and determination to not only overcome the prejudices of her gender, but as a woman shaped by fire, faith, and the unshakeable belief that she, too, has the right to rule.

★~• Kai is in love. Yes. Actually in love. For a humble poet and writer, falling for someone means there is no longer any reason to keep his feelings buried. Once his heart has chosen its destination, words are bound to follow- ~ The only problem? ... Senior Dora has absolutely no idea. To him, Kai is nothing more than a slightly shy, bookish ("kinda nerd" he said that), yet surprisingly interesting underclassman... And somehow, that sounds exactly like his type. Kkaka- What begins as nothing more than the innocent tale of a teenage boy chasing love in XIX soon takes an unexpected turn. Something... is coming. It calls his name, haunts him, clings to him, sinking into every cell of his being- leaving him to wonder... "What freedom truly means?" Or "The meaning of DEATH?" ... Mysteries. Trials. Enemies. And, perhaps the most formidable obstacle of them all- A language barrier. (Of course, it's his problem- not yours, dearest gentle readers) ~ Sounds rough, huh- (Well, obviously) But jokes aside... Kai won't have to face everything alone. After all. Sometimes, the people who change your life the most are the ones you never expected to meet in the first place. And "another" sometimes, the strangest journeys lead you to something you never knew you were looking for. "..." Unfortunately, Kai would like to go home. Preferably yesterday. ~ As one challenge after another closes in, Kai finds himself drawn into something far greater than the love story he had imagined. There will be no easy escape- simple confession. No guarantee that his feelings will ever reach the person they were meant for... So he has only one choice. Fight for what he wants. For one purpose. Or- perhaps... two!? ~ ... "Ah... One does need a muse, after all, doesn't one!?" Indeed, Bookies.

Lumina has one simple wish. To live quietly. No unnecessary visitors. No troublesome strangers. And absolutely no romance. For someone who treasures peace, Wintermere seems determined to test her patience. As winter settles over the village, unfamiliar faces begin appearing for reasons that have nothing to do with one another. Some seek answers. Some seek refuge. Others carry secrets they would rather keep buried. Each path leads somewhere different. A village physician. A respected noble whose lifelong devotion to medicine has earned him both admiration and skepticism. A forgotten truth waiting to be uncovered. Or perhaps... A destiny no one saw coming. For reasons she would rather not investigate, troublesome people have an annoying habit of finding her. Even worse... Suspiciously handsome men become surprisingly common. While Wintermere carries on as though nothing is changing, unseen threads quietly weave together, connecting strangers, villagers, old promises, hidden ambitions, and long-forgotten secrets in ways no one yet understands. Lumina intends to stay out of all of it. If only trouble shared the same opinion. After all... Some people search for adventure. Adventure searches for Lumina. Mind: You could still pretend none of this concerns you. Lumina: That was the plan. Mind: Then why do I have a feeling we're about to become very busy? Lumina: ...I don't like it when you're right. Mind: You could still pretend none of this concerns you. Lumina: That's exactly what I plan to do. Mind: You opened the door. Lumina: ...That was my first mistake.
