Trapped by the Prince

Crown Prince Ian Stromridge has just returned from battle, hailed as a hero, greeted with people's adoration and blessings but he brings home a beautiful woman, though he's already married leaving everybody completed nonplussed. His wife, Princess Angelica Stromridge wed him for convenience before he left for war. Their marriage lacked affection and was rife with misunderstandings from the start. From name-calling to accidental letters leading to further misconception. During his absence, Angelica played the dutiful wife, sacrificing to maintain the household, being the lovely princess and wonderful daughter in law, only to face his return with another woman whom the entire kingdom agreed was more beautiful than she was! Will she divorce or fight for his love, a love that clearly never existed in the first place? Will she clear the misunderstandings and surmount the obstacles or will it be a post-marriage love story or an ex-wife tale full of regret? Excerpt |||| "My princess..." called a maid, knocking on the door her hand trembling. "Come in." replied Angelica as the door opened hearing footsteps approaching. "What are you doing here? I gave stern orders for no one to disturb me for the entirety of the day." her austere voice rang out. "I... I know my princess... please forgive me... I... I did not mean to disturb you but... this is something very important." "Let's have it then." replied Angelica closing the book she had been reading as she laid eyes on the maid. The maid gulped, the fear evident in her eyes, she did not know how Angelica would react to the severely bad news she had brought with her, however, one thing was sure, Angelica would not react lightly at all. "My... m...y prince...ss the..." said the maid, causing Angelica to sigh in annoyance, rolling her eyes, she had better things to do than sit here listening to the maid's mumbling. "Yes, say it." said Angelica giving the maid a hand. "My princess, the crowned prince has returned." said the maid. "Oh... well that's nice... I guess I will see him later, or better yet tomorrow. There is no rush, I am sure he is swarmed by crowds at the moment." replied Angelica lazily, she really had no intention of moving from this spot. "But my princess... ther— " "Oh, you're right, it would be unacceptable if I did not come out to greet him, rumours would certainly ensue and the kingdom would be in serious hysteria as they always are." replied Angelica annoyed. "Yes, you are right, I should go and welcome him back home." said Angelica as she stood up and yawned. "My princess... that is not all, there is something else..." said the maid. "And what is that?" asked Angelica as the maid's eyes darted around the room, she did not know what to do, or how best to put this. "My princess... the... the crowned prince has truly returned but..." said the maid with a prolonged pause. "But what?" asked Angelica, her senses tingling, she had a inking that there was something wrong from the maid's strange behaviour. "But his highness..." paused the maid. "Out with it now!" said Angelica sternly. "His highness has returned with a strange woman and the rumours claim that she is his new wife!" spat out the maid as Angelica suddenly felt lightheaded and she fell back down on the chair. "My princess!" cried the maid as she rushed to her. "This is some sort of farce." said Angelica as the maid proceeded quickly to fan her with a cloth. "No my princess... it is true." replied the maid. "This is impossible. Ian must be mad, I am going to see this display of stupidity for myself!" said Angelica hotly, quickly rising up and storming out of the room as the poor maid followed behind her. ||||

Douluo Dali: Unrivalled Tang Sect: With Sharingan

What? Tang San’s entire family were evil soul masters? The Spirit Hall was destroyed ten thousand years ago just so Tang San could turn the Douluo Continent into his personal backyard? Impossible—absolutely impossible! If Tang San’s father wasn’t an evil soul master, then how did he manage to defeat three Super Douluos by himself ten thousand years ago? If Tang San and his allies weren’t evil soul masters, how did they cultivate at a rate that far exceeded ordinary people? Their absurd soul ring ratios and secret methods of soul ring enhancement—aren’t those techniques exclusive to the Holy Spirit Church? Back then, the Spirit Hall reached into every corner of the continent to awaken spirits. They clearly knew who was an evil soul master and could eliminate them on the spot. Yet now, evil soul masters lurk everywhere. How do you explain that? And what about the factions that once supported Tang San? The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, once a peak force, has fallen to second-rate. The Poison Douluo’s clan? Its entire inheritance has vanished. Even the Holy Soul Village—where the Sea God Tang San first awakened his martial spirit—has become nothing but a forgotten relic. Shouldn’t it have become a sacred site? Why did it fade into obscurity? Not to mention the Holy Angel lineage—there hasn’t been a single Titled Douluo from that bloodline in tens of thousands of years. Why? And then there’s Tang San’s so-called “Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirits.” Aside from sounding impressive, are any of them actually true? Weapon-type spirits supposedly couldn’t absorb beast spirit rings—but before those theories, did the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect get their rings by dismantling towers? Did the Clear Sky Sect gather rings by smashing hammers? No… Something’s deeply wrong here.

After much difficulty crawling out from the grave, he was immediately caught again by the night watchmen of the Church Evernight Goddess. Trembling with fear as he left the Evernight Goddess Cathedral, but before even becoming a Beyonder,he was already coveted by some Outer God for his body! After becoming a Beyonder, he then discovered he was drowning in a mountain of debt? On a certain day in the last year, Amon said: "You and I are the same kind of person." Adam said: "How about we weave the future of this world together?" Klein said: "Lucian is a reliable good partner! Mm! In every sense!" The uncertainty of destiny is embodied as the Wheel of Fortune; then what embodies the inevitability of destiny? Lucian, perceiving the Pathway of the Tower of Fate branded into his mind, fell into deep thought... A traveler who had only ever read a book called the Lord of Mysteries Lucian Sotos, lingered and struggled in this world because of fate. If the uncertainty of fate is represented by the Wheel of Fortune, then what represents the inevitability of fate? The transmigratory has touched the destiny of the world, and the trajectory that should have been has undergone unimaginable changes. Everything originates from the beginning, and everything returns to the beginning; this is the unchangeable destiny.

Lucian · Sotos, a gentle and kind, yet indifferent and ruthless; a lonely traveler full of humanity, yet with a divine brilliance. His arrival may have spared the world some regrets, but madness and chaos are ultimately the world's main themes. .... ps: Original Pathway: Tower of Fate (in fact, it draws on many ideas from respected creators) (the corresponding Outer Deity is the Ring of Fate) ps: "Cheat" (golden finger): the Uniqueness of the Tower of Fate Pathway, memories of The Biography of Zhou Mingrui. ps: No female lead, the main character is highly suspicious and paranoid, and the timeline crossed over is half a year before Zhou Mingrui’s arrival. ps: Some things that seem useless at first glance are actually foreshadowing for later parts — only by carrying the theme of destiny throughout can the terror of fate truly be revealed! PS: The protagonist has a group favorite attribute, intersecting with many characters, not for those who dislike it. PS: The protagonist is gentle and kind, but not saintly and without a female lead. Light-hearted If you find any mistake let me know;

The Whisper Of a velkaria

(A Fantasy Epic of Shadows, Longing, and Untamed Magic) In a world stitched together by the ruins of forgotten gods and the restless sighs of ancient magic, Elara Vel’Thari was never meant to be anyone special ---just another girl chasing ghosts in the crumbling city of Velkaria. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. When she stumbles upon a cursed relic, she becomes the unwilling bearer of a storm older than memory itself--- a power that hungers for freedom, for chaos... and for her. Haunted by a voice that promises both destruction and salvation, Elara is thrust into a world where loyalty is a luxury, and secrets run deeper than blood. Alongside Kael Dren--- the brooding swordsman with a past too dark to forget ---Liora Mirell--- a sharp-tongued archer whose heart has learned to build walls ---and Thorne Ashveil --- a mercenary who has seen too many dreams die ---Elara sets out on a journey that will test everything she thought she knew about love, power, and the cost of hope. As whispers stir in the mist and forgotten gods claw their way back into the world, Elara must decide: will she master the storm inside her... or will she let it consume the world she once swore to protect? Whispers of Velkaria is a sweeping fantasy saga drenched in forbidden magic, aching romance, savage betrayal, and the desperate hunger to carve your own destiny before the darkness claims it first. This isn't a story of heroes. This is a story of survivors. Of broken people who dare to dream ---even when the world tells them they shouldn't.
