How to Survive As The Villaines's Butler

Vlad_Dracula_III
In the shining core of the Giant Sun Empire, power is a game of smiles, secrets, and sharpened blades. So when a burned-out game developer named Ethan awakens in the body of Anwir—the lowly butler of the infamous Rosenthal household—he soon realizes he is stuck inside the very villainess fantasy game he created. Worse, he is not the hero of the story; he is a disposable side character, with only the value of being close to the most dangerous family in the Empire. Surrounded by scheming nobles, unpredictable magic, and the ever-present eyes of Selvaria Rosenthal—the perfect, cold-blooded heiress with a legacy of blood-red eyes—Anwir must apply his meta-knowledge of the game’s deadly flags to survive. But when a demonic conspiracy erupts at a grand imperial gathering, taking heirs and dukes alike with it, Anwir will have no choice but to abandon the shadows and rewrite the very fate that binds him. As alliances fracture and ancient seals break, Anwir navigates a world where every move could be his last, and where the line between villain and hero is as thin as a razor. In a court where loyalty is a weapon and secrets are currency, can a mere butler outplay the destiny written for him-or will he become just another casualty in the Empire’s endless war for power?

Hurt Me Like You Mean It [BL]

[Updates resume March. Due to exams] [This book contains, explicit and mature scenes—no r*pe. Not advised for viewers under 18, protect thy purity] Lance Dixon is drowning in a debt that isn’t his. His parents’ financial mistakes have fallen entirely onto him, and his life has collapsed into a constant struggle to stay afloat. He has never denied what he is. Lance is a masochist, and most people he’s dated couldn’t handle that truth. Every relationship ended the same way, leaving him with needs no one was willing to meet. Everything shifts on a night he drinks too much and ends up venting to a stranger. In a mix of frustration and alcohol, Lance jokes that he’d sell himself to anyone willing to pay off his debt. The stranger, Ansel Lowell, doesn’t brush it off. He asks how much. And when Lance tells him, Ansel offers a deal: three months living under his terms, in exchange for clearing the debt completely. The deal is straightforward and seems almost like relief. But as the days pass, the dynamic between them deepens in ways neither expected. What began as a simple exchange grows into a connection that is far more consuming, and far more dangerous, than either of them intended. [Excerpt] Lance meant to pull away when Ansel stepped closer, but his body didn’t move. Ansel’s hand hovered near his jaw, just close enough to make Lance’s breath catch. “Do you understand what you agreed to?” Ansel asked quietly. Lance swallowed. “You’re paying off my debt. I stay with you for three months. That’s it.” A hint of a smile tugged at Ansel’s mouth, which made him more dangerous because of it. “No, Lance. That’s the surface of it. I want you to hear the truth.” Lance’s pulse stumbled. Ansel leaned in just enough that Lance could feel the warmth of his breath. “I’m going to take up space in your life. I’m going to have you when I want you. I’m going to learn every weakness you try to hide, and I will use them. I will claim you, piece by piece, until you can’t tell where your choices end and mine begin.” Lance exhaled shakily. “Do you worst Mr. Lowell, I can handle it.”
