"His Bride, His Pawn, His Wife"

DaoistrVAlxA
She thought it was love. He thought it was strategy. When a warm-hearted, struggling young woman meets a cold billionaire CEO with a shattered past, fate doesn’t offer them a fairytale—it offers them a contract. To save her family and escape poverty, she agrees to marry him. To secure control of his company and avoid emotional entanglement, he uses her as a pawn. Their marriage is real on paper, but fake in his heart—or so he believes. From the moment they say "I do," the cracks begin to form. During a two-month honeymoon in isolation, they are forced to share a bed, meals, silence—and eventually, secrets. She believes in him. He pushes her away. But when loyalty meets fear, and warmth melts through his emotional armor, the lines between fake love and real feelings start to blur. Returning to the city, their fragile bond is tested by jealous exes, ruthless business rivals, and the shadows of the past. He doesn’t believe he’s capable of love—but he might just lose the only person who ever loved him without asking for anything in return. Now, he must decide: will she remain his pawn, or become the only woman he’ll ever fight to keep?

Ascending Pride

What happens when a dragon gets sacrificed by his mate for his blessings? Blame the bird. What happens when a fish wants to rule the skies? Drag the bird down. What happens when a fox wants revenge? Seek out the bird. What happens when humans are lied to for generations? Coarse the bird. What does any of that have to do with the bird who most have never even met? How do they subdue a being that not even beast gods were able to defeat? How do they force a bird to stop flying? How do they kill a being... that cannot be killed? ... They break his heart... over, and over, and over. It's been over a thousand years since the beast god sealed itself away to heal from it's injuries. 700 years since the dragon was sacrificed. 600 years since a feathered snake started accepting human "wives". Almost 500 years since his heart was shattered. 300 years since history was rewritten. 200 years since the fish sent out a call. 50 years since the fox was tricked. 20 years since he gave his broken heart to a young warrior. 10 years since he was once again betrayed. 2 years since the bird found himself in a new body with only a fraction of his memories. Now, the most precious piece of his heart must either return, or bond with another. Now, the blessings from the sacrificed dragon have become a curse. Now, a young warrior has become leader of her people. Now, three nations are on the verge of extinction. Now, a snake wants his covenant honored. Now, a bird shakes his head as watches with a sigh. So few will live, while so many will die.
