Turns Out I’m the Mistress, Not the Main Character

Turns Out I’m the Mistress, Not the Main Character

Chicken_Fruit
“Please, let me touch you,” his voice breaks, pleading. I laugh, overwhelmed by the irony of the situation. Because the very man who persecuted me so much is now the one reduced to nothing before me. His hair is a mess, eyes baggy with dark circles that note the sleepless nights. Those eyes once only reflected hatred for me, but now they’re begging desperately. “Why won’t you just let me come to you? Why does that bastard have to be near you all he wants but I’m not given any moment to even smell you?!!” His rage is laced with pain, his voice filled with bitterness and evident fear. Fear of losing me. “Why?” I ask. My voice is low, but steady. “Why should I let the man who’s abused me for so long come anywhere near me? Why should I give the man who’s watched his family and everyone humiliate me every moment of my life a chance?” My eyes burn with rage, tears welling up as I think back to the countless torture I had to endure. “Tell me why I should come back to the man who’s questioned my dignity and let another woman take my place!!!” “No, Lei, no,” his voice shakes, quiet as though every word costs him. The sound of his voice is barely audible, like it is drowning in regrets too heavy to undo. He draws near, hands trembling with eyes wide with guilt and regret. “It’s all over now. Sign the divorce papers if you still have a bit of a conscience left inside.” His quivering face turns tight with anger. “Why? So you can run off to those good for nothing goons who leer lustfully at you?!” His voice lowers, but remain steady and stern. “I will never let you go, Lei. Never!” I smile. My defiant eyes alone telling all there is to know. Because for me, there is never going back to him. •••••••• Leiara Rhys, the sole heiress to the Rhys Development, has always faced life head-on with one motto: “If it isn’t death, how bad can it be?” When she’s forced into an arranged marriage with Colson Hayes, heir to a rival company, she braces herself like always, determined to bury the fear, the pain, the grief deep inside. But nothing prepares her for the cold hatred in her husband’s eyes. A hatred rooted in a grudge she doesn’t understand. As Colson quietly vows to ruin her, Leiara becomes a pawn trapped between two powerful families and impossible expectations. Abused and subjected to all sorts of violence by her husband, family and his lover, Leiara’s carefully guarded heart begins to fracture. After all, the human heart isn’t a diamond that cannot break, nor a barrel that cannot overflow. When Leiara discovers that she isn’t the main character in this marriage but merely the mistress, the world she built on pain begins to crack. Forced to coexist with the main character, the true focus of her husband’s affection, she must remain in the background as she always has. But just when she’s ready to stop hoping and let go, something utterly unexpected happens. The very man whose eyes once reflected only her mistakes and imperfections now holds a tenderness and longing she doesn’t know how to trust. A boundless love she cannot seem to fully explore. And for Leiara, the irony of it all is just too cruel, yet too breaking to ignore. But one thing is for sure; she is no longer a puppet to be mistreated as they see fit.

The 13th Kingdom: Reincarnation

That Time They Reincarnated a Rapper - Jean Vinson died powerless. Xiro Mikazuki refuses to do it twice. After his life on Earth collapses around him, a sudden death should have erased Jean's story forever. Instead, he awakens before a goddess and discovers an ugly truth: His life was never entirely his own. Reborn on the magical world of Gaia as Xiro Mikazuki, he enters his second life with memories intact, a monstrous Soul Core, impossible potential, and one promise to himself— Never be helpless again. Gaia is a world where warriors shatter mountains, Skills evolve alongside the soul, monsters build civilizations, magic can rewrite natural law, and Outer Gods quietly manipulate history from beyond the Mortal Realm. Xiro was supposed to become another piece on their board. He has other plans. Alongside the brothers, family, lovers, rivals, and monsters who become his people, Xiro rises from gifted child to warrior, Demon Lord, king, and something even Heaven may not be prepared to name. But strength doesn't heal every wound. The stronger Xiro becomes, the more he must decide what freedom actually means. Is it having enough power that nobody can control you? Protecting everyone you love? Building a kingdom where your people can live without fear? Or becoming so dangerous that the universe finally has to negotiate with you? The 13th Kingdom: Reincarnation is an adult LitRPG/progression fantasy filled with brutal battles, romance, sex, comedy, brotherhood, kingdom building, political warfare, evolving races, divine conspiracies, hip-hop and anime influences, and a magic system where science and mythology collide. This isn't the story of a hero chosen by destiny. It's the story of a man deciding whether destiny still gets a vote. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warning !!! If the use of the N-Word or African-American Vernacular English offends you, this is NOT the book series for you. * Who Will Love It Readers who like: - Overpowered Protagonists - Harems - Anime-Style Escalation - Progression Fantasy Systems - Dark Fantasy Politics - Explicit Mature Content - Hip-Hop References - Irreverent Narration - Mythological/Cosmic Lore - Found Family - Antihero Kings - Romance mixed with Violence - Big Emotional Power-ups - “Rule of Cool” with actual internal logic Those readers are gonna eat. * Who Might Bounce Off Readers who want: - Very clean traditional prose - Minimal profanity - Slow-burn subtle romance only - Low-density magic systems - Restrained power scaling - Smaller casts - No explicit adult material - Traditional heroic morality Those readers may struggle. A story about a man who died powerless, was reborn with the potential to become a god, and gradually discovers that freedom means more than becoming strong enough that nobody can tell him what to do. The 13th Kingdom: Reincarnation is what happens if you start with an adult reincarnation LitRPG, give the protagonist the personality of an actual grown man instead of a blank-slate isekai hero, build the magic system like fantasy physics, let the supporting cast develop into protagonists of their own stories, and then keep widening the world until gods, governments, demons, churches, kings, cosmic beings, and alternate versions of reality are fighting over who gets to decide the future.

"The Fallen God's second Dawn"

Once, he was Kael—the God of Balance, guardian of harmony between light and shadow. But envy breeds betrayal, and the gods he trusted shattered his divinity, casting his soul into the void. Instead of vanishing, Kael awakens in another world—reborn as a mortal child named Eryndor. For the first time, he feels hunger, weakness, and fear… but also love, friendship, and the warmth of a family he never knew as a god. Yet fragments of his divinity linger. Beasts bow before him. Ancient ruins respond to his touch. The heavens whisper of his return. When a test of magic reveals powers beyond mortal comprehension, the truth can no longer be hidden—a fallen god walks among men once more. As new gods rise and old enemies stir across dimensions, Eryndor must decide: Will he embrace mortality and protect those he now calls his own? Or reclaim his throne as a god and risk repeating the cycle of betrayal? The fate of two worlds lies in the hands of a child who was once a god. And this time, Balance may bring not only judgment… but a new dawn.

MEU: Marshel Ex(R)otic Universe

HELLO EVERYONE I JUST WANTED TO INFORM YOU THAT-- I'm not a writer by profession, I'm a finder. I have a real talent for hunting down the best, most addictive fanfictions hidden across the internet — stories that are too bold, too spicy, and too real for most mainstream sites. I discovered so many amazing novels filled with erotic, smut, and adult content that actually have great plot, world-building, and character development. They are truly worth reading. So I decided to bring them here to Webnovel and publish them so everyone can enjoy them without wasting hours searching like I did. Most of these stories were originally in other languages, so I translate them into English myself for all of you to read and enjoy in full quality. My goal is simple: to share the best mature content with readers who appreciate it. If you are already enjoying MEU: Marshel Exotic Universe, you will definitely love my other notable translated works: *1- I'm the King of Movies* *2- FGO: Adventure of Old Men* *3- Japan: The SENGOKU PERIOD (R-18)* *4- Journey Towards the (R-18) Heavens* All of them contain similar mature, exotic, and uncensored content but in completely different settings. Follow me if you love this kind of content — many more are coming.
