Investing in My Crippled Wife: Every Return Makes Me Stronger

Peace_in_Chaos
Soren Valmere, unawakened and treated as family garbage, is forced into an arranged marriage with Ethea Morvain, the once-legendary Ice Empress now completely paralyzed after a catastrophic Gate incident. Both families exile them to a modest house in a working-class neighborhood, washing their hands of two "problems" they no longer want to deal with. But on their wedding night, Soren awakens a hidden power: the Investment Authority. Whatever he invests in Ethea—time, money, care, emotion—returns to him amplified by 10,000 times when she achieves breakthroughs. Buy her medicine with his last credits? Receive a hundred million in return. Spend sleepless nights helping her move a single finger? Gain decades of martial experience instantly. Risk his life to save hers? Unlock abilities that shatter the heavens. As he pours everything into the wife everyone abandoned, Ethea slowly transforms from a broken doll into something that surpasses even her legendary past. And Soren? The "worthless" unawakened trash becomes the most dangerous investor the world has ever seen. Their families wanted to forget them. The world dismissed them as failures. They're about to learn that the greatest returns come from investing in someone everyone else deemed worthless. "You threw us away. Now watch us rise." _______ _____ _ Author's Note: Hey everyone!

Naruto: Konoha’s Fated Twins

After transmigrating into the world of Naruto, Shimizu Uzuki finds himself at a severe disadvantage—he does not possess any special eyes. So how is he supposed to fight against those Ōtsutsuki beings who travel back and forth between the Earth and the Moon? …… Notes: PS1. This is a pure Naruto transmigration story. There is no system, and no other crossover elements—only an authentic Naruto world. PS2. The writing style leans toward realism. The prose is solid, and this is not an overpowered, brainless wish-fulfillment story. PS3. The synopsis is limited. Please proceed to the main story, and be sure to read the “Read Before Starting” section first.

Ascension Gates: Rise of the Beast Monarch

In a world where strength is measured by the beasts you command, only a few ever reach the peak — and even fewer survive the journey beyond it. Aether was just an orphan in a forgotten city, someone with no family, no background, and no future. During the Beast Contract Ceremony, everyone expected him to fail… or at best obtain a weak creature. Instead, he formed a contract with what appeared to be the most useless beast of all — a Fire Pup. But what no one knows is that Aether possesses a power that should not exist. His beasts can evolve without limit. While others struggle for years and risk their lives to gather rare materials, Aether’s beasts grow stronger simply by fighting beside him. As he rises through factions, battles powerful enemies, and unlocks ancient evolutions, the truth about his mysterious origin slowly begins to surface. Hidden bloodlines. A sister imprisoned by the rulers of evolution. And a secret tied to the legendary Ascension Gates that connect three universes. What begins as the journey of a forgotten orphan soon becomes something far greater. Because the Fire Pup that everyone mocked… Was destined to become a Hell Cerberus. And Aether was never meant to be ordinary. He was meant to become the Beast Monarch. ---

Celestic Warriors: Book 1- The Origins

Two children. One bond. A destiny that refuses to let them remain together. Blending the emotional depth of anime with the explosive action of tokusatsu, Celestic Warriors: The Origins begins on Earth—where a chance meeting between two children quietly changes the course of the universe. Tim is bright, kind, and fearless. Rei is distant, observant, and shaped by isolation. Though they are opposites, an unexplainable connection draws them together—until obsidian-clad soldiers descend from the stars and tear them apart. Taken from Earth by a cosmic force bound to prophecy, Tim is rescued and brought to Soluna—a war-scarred world cursed to balance light and shadow. Rei is not so fortunate. As fate intervenes, their memories of each other fade… but the emptiness remains. Fifteen years later, Tim has been forged into the Solar Warrior, trained to defend Soluna against the rising threat of the Dark Void. Yet even as he stands as the planet’s last hope, he cannot escape the feeling that something vital is missing—something stolen long ago. With war looming and destiny tightening its grip, Tim must face a truth greater than battle itself: some bonds cannot be erased—and balance always demands its other half.

Little Snake Demon Stop Defying Heaven!

Contains Mature/Explicit scenes. She was the most feared little snake demon in the immortal realm, talented, ruthless, and allergic to nonsense. Heaven, apparently, was not amused. One heavenly tribulation later, Bai Lingling wakes up in the body of Yun Qingqing: a weak, ugly, “trash” young miss with a ruined face, a shattered core, and a family full of snakes trying to steal her city, her Phoenix Vein, and her life. Her scumbag fiancé wants to discard her. Her scheming uncle wants her dead. A princess pretending to be a maid wants her fiancé. Cute. But just when she’s ready to burn the whole plot down alone, the “harmless little beast” she once saved turns out to be anything but harmless. Mo Lingxu. Demon Lord of the Nine Hells. Cold, dangerous, and infuriatingly shameless. He follows her like a shadow, red eyes gleaming with dark amusement, calling her “little snake” while promising to protect her, repay her kindness, and never let her go. He says fate bound them together. His hands say he wants to claim every inch of her. Bai Lingling only wants revenge, her city, and her pretty face back. Instead she gets a useless fiancé, a fake princess she wants to drown, and a demon lord who keeps looking at her like she already belongs in his bed. Submit and prosper. Oppose her and perish. Because this “weak, ugly” young miss? She’s about to flip the heavens upside down. Mo Lingxu, smirking: “Little snake… you kissed me first. Are you going to take responsibility?” Bai Lingling: “Shameless!”

A death trap with no exit and no chance of survival, the only option was to slaughter the creatures of nightmare. A domain with impossible difficulty, extreme monstrosities… Finally!! He became a lord! Becoming the first to conquer the highest-class domain, creating the strongest legion… Mythic Class army of Giants, Dragons, and more!!
