[Statut : TERMINÉ] Dans sa vie antérieure, Adrienne Jiang avait utilisé tous les moyens pour sauver la vie de sa mère. Son père l'avait négligée après avoir épousé sa maîtresse, permettant à ce duo mère-fille de la tyranniser sans fin. Le frère aîné sur lequel elle pensait pouvoir compter lui avait donné froidement le dos et l'avait réprimandée pour ne pas avoir coupé le soutien vital de leur mère. Dans son désespoir, Adrienne a failli tomber dans le piège tendu par sa demi-sœur. Finalement, elle est entrée dans un mariage contractuel avec le frère de sa meilleure amie, Alistair Han, un homme pour qui elle avait le béguin depuis son plus jeune âge. Ce n'est qu'alors qu'elle a réalisé que cet homme était manipulateur et obsessionnel, ne voulant pas la perdre de vue. Elle avait été traitée comme un oiseau piégé dans une cage dorée. À la fin, elle a trouvé la mort trahie par son frère et tout a été perdu dans l'incendie. Après être renée, elle était déterminée à ne plus continuer à être une personne bonne à rien. Lennox Qin, le jeune maître vicieux de la famille Qin, était prêt à devenir le prochain chef de leur famille. Cependant, à cause d'un incident, il a été estropié et jugé indigne. Lorsque son chemin a croisé celui d'Adrienne, ils sont parvenus à un accord. « Je t'épouserai pour éloigner ta malchance et être ta femme pendant deux ans. En retour, permets-moi de t'utiliser pour détruire les familles Han et Jiang. » L'homme assis dans un fauteuil roulant a simplement levé un sourcil à sa déclaration. Ses lèvres se sont ensuite étirées en un sourire séduisant et il a accepté sans ciller. Cependant, lorsque le moment était presque venu, il s'est empressé de la convaincre de rester dans leur mariage. « Madame Qin mérite le meilleur. Si c'est le monde que tu désires, je te l'apporterai sur un plateau d'argent. Tu peux avoir le monde entier, mais chérie, n'oublie pas que bien que tout t'appartienne, tu m'appartiens. » Adrienne fronça les sourcils. « Mais tu ne m'aimes même pas... » Elle a tenté de raisonner, pensant que son mari avait perdu la raison. « Non, ce n'était pas le cas, mais maintenant je t'aime. En fait, tu es la seule à qui je pense ces jours-ci. » Cependant, il semblait pour elle que non seulement son mari essayait d'attirer son attention, mais sa belle-famille également.

Synopsis: Rebirth of the Exiled Gods' Pawn (MMORPG) Humanity believed they had made the greatest discovery—Eldoria, a revolutionary full-dive MMORPG. Corporations poured trillions into its development, players rushed to claim their place in history, and the world was eager for the next step in virtual evolution. But they were wrong. Eldoria was never created by humans. It was a trap set by the exiled gods Zerathis and Lirion, ancient beings cast out from a higher dimension. Though players could log out, death in the game came with a harsh price—losing levels, though stats remained unaffected unless under special circumstances. Only the strongest could thrive. Ethan Vale, once the strongest archer, clawed his way to the top only to be betrayed and killed by his stepsister. As his vision faded, he heard a voice filled with amusement. "Let’s see what happens if I send you back." A demon artifact, toying with fate, reincarnates Ethan 20 years into the past, before Eldoria’s launch. Armed with future knowledge, he now has one goal—to break free from the gods’ game and take revenge on those who wronged him. But he is no longer just a player. Zerathis and Lirion are watching. “Can he become our pawn?” Zerathis asks coldly. Lirion smirks, handing him Liron Juice and popcorn. “Let’s watch.” Now, Ethan must rise before corporations take control, before the strongest players awaken, and before the gods tighten their grip. In a game where death means losing levels but not stats—unless under special conditions—he will ensure that he never falls again. allow on royal road wise old man is me.https://www.royalroad.com/support

In order to regain his power and attempt to break the restraints again, he could only reincarnate and start off on a different path and slowly forge a path for himself instead of following the general cultivation levels that were set by the supreme dimensional laws. After reincarnating, Solanky obtained a defying treasure, which later melded with his body and helped him defy all logic in his source world. Solanky successfully rose through the ranks and broke through the restraints of his source world and obtained his sealed spiritual power, which boosted his current power to a whole new level with the help of a separate body that is disconnected from him.

Victoria Lane, the unflinching CEO of Luminex International, is no stranger to power. With a reputation forged in ambition and an empire built on ruthless precision, she thrives in a world of control—until the arrival of Ethan Ward, her seemingly ordinary new intern. Beneath his polite demeanor and sharp intellect, however, Ethan hides a dark purpose: he is here to shatter the seal binding the secrets of Victoria's soul. As Victoria navigates her corporate kingdom, she becomes increasingly drawn to Ethan’s enigmatic charm and unwavering confidence, even as her instincts scream caution. Unknown to her, Ethan’s every move is calculated, part of a larger, otherworldly plan to unlock a hidden power within her—a power tied to a family curse Victoria has spent her life suppressing. But Victoria is not a pawn in anyone’s game. With her sharp intuition and commanding presence, she begins her own investigation into Ethan's past, uncovering fragments of his true identity. Their dynamic shifts from a tense battle of wits to a dangerous dance of attraction and betrayal, as layers of mystery, power, and forbidden desire unfold. In a world where ambition blurs the line between loyalty and manipulation, who will outmaneuver whom? The Queen and Her Pawn is a tale of dominance, intrigue, and romance, where the stakes are nothing less than control over fate itself—and perhaps, a shot at love.
