In a world where stories are written in blood and roses have venomous thorns, Jack Thorne—a reclusive thirty-year-old who once found solace only in books—awakens as Riven, the ill-fated butler of Evangeline Vossaire, a lethally captivating villainess destined to die betrayed and forgotten. But Jack remembers her story—every plot twist, every enemy, every tragic end—and he’s determined to rewrite it. Armed with modern knowledge and a heart scarred by loneliness, Jack navigates a gilded world of masquerades, poisoned politics, and whispered threats. Yet the more he unravels Evangeline’s secrets—her buried vulnerability, her razor-sharp wit, the ghosts of her past—the harder it becomes to see her as the monster the novel painted. Torn between survival and the dangerous pull of empathy, Jack must outwit enemies who know his truth: that he’s an outsider with the power to change fate. But in a realm where trust is a knife and love is a weakness, can a man who hid from life become the one thing a villainess was never meant to have—a reason to hope? The Thorned Rose of House Vossaire is a sweeping tale of redemption, forbidden chemistry, and the fragile beauty of second chances. Perfect for fans of Bridgerton’s dark allure, The Cruel Prince’s intricate schemes, and the quiet power of The House in the Cerulean Sea. Here, love doesn’t soften edges—it sharpens them.

Zhai Mei's brown eyes locked into his, her lips parted slightly in a small O, the gloss glowing in the light, her noodled curls tumbling over her shoulder. The colour on her cheeks reddened at Gu Wei's stare, and she pressed her lips together briefly as if in preparation for something. His whole body thumping an unsteady rhythm in his chest. Gu Wei leaned even closer... *Title was originally 'Two Souls Bound In a Loop of Fate'* ( ˶˘ ³˘(˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵) ヘ(* 。* ヘ) This novel is inspired by the heartfelt novel/drama 'Hidden Love', drawing themes from its slow going plot and day by day tropes to bring out similar sentiments. Whether you watch c-drama's, k-drama's, or you're just here to take a look, welcome and enjoy. This is an extremely slice of life novel, and it might appear at a snails pace but it picks up along the way, and I'm also learning to not waste my readers time with pointless talk as I write.
