Mask of Face

EsraRyrn
In the flourishing yet perilous Northern Liang Empire, masks are safer than faces. Murong Chen, the emperor's ninth son and King of Jing'an, lives like a winter peak-still, distant, and untouchable. He skips court, ignores academy rules, and collects titles and rewards without asking. To the people he is the Cold Prince; to ministers, the devil's incarnation; to siblings, a spoiled brat. Yet behind his calmness lies a secret poison that freezes his blood each month-Black Lotus Frost, an incurable toxin born before his first breath. The emperor shields him, the empress mourns him in silence, and the crown prince-his closest brother-protects his secret from the empire's eyes. Is Murong Chen a pampered son, a troublemaker, or a storm in disguise? In a palace where truth is dangerous, the only one who knows the answer is the prince himself.

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
