Married Off To A Cold Eyed Knight

sun_imperial
What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

Game of Thrones: Joffrey the Ruthless Emperor

Joffrey Baratheon was supposed to be the monster who lost everything. Instead, he woke up with memories of a future where dragons burn the sky, White Walkers march south, and his own head ends up on a spike. Now armed with the [Heaven’s Will Role-Playing System], he doesn’t run from his villainous destiny—he weaponizes it. By perfectly acting out ever-shifting roles (Eccentric Ruthless Overlord, Hot-Headed Iron-Willed General, Concerned Military Advisor), he earns god-tier skills: unbreakable poison immunity, long-range “Stargaze” spying, and more. While the realm still sees a golden-haired princeling, Joffrey is already three moves ahead—poisoning plots before they hatch, forging royal records, spreading rumors that topple schemers like Littlefinger, blocking Tywin Lannister’s return, and dragging Ned Stark south early to use him as a human shield. He gifts Robb a wolf-headed sword, charms Sansa with songs and berries, drags Bran through every secret passage in Winterfell, and even shares wine with Mance Rayder without blinking. All while the Hound grumbles, Tyrion laughs, Cersei schemes, and a very angry Three-Eyed Crow whispers through the heart tree: “Kid. Don’t steal my people.” In the deadliest game of thrones Westeros has ever seen, the boy who was born to lose has decided the only way to win… is to become the emperor heaven itself chose. And the realm is about to find out exactly how dangerous a competent Joffrey can be.

Villain: After I Laid Flat the Female Lead Came Chasing After Me (18+)

Fang Chen discovered that he had transmigrated into a fantasy novel and became the villainous holy son in it. Villains usually have great talent, strong backgrounds, and high status. He possessed a Dao Body physique and was the holy son of the Cloud Sky Holy Land, second only to one and above ten thousand. He was also devoted, always pursuing the female lead Lin Luowei and being completely loyal to her, but the female lead mistakenly believed he was the enemy who wiped out her clan and despised him deeply. She was even taken away by the male lead through a carefully designed hero-saves-the-beauty scheme. Fang Chen: “With such good conditions, why not behave well instead of being a simp.” At the same time, Fang Chen obtained a system. In just over half a month, he directly broke through a major realm, and his cultivation soared. And the female lead unexpectedly could hear Fang Chen’s inner thoughts and discovered that Fang Chen was not the enemy who wiped out her clan, but her lifesaver. The real enemy turned out to be the male lead’s father. The female lead’s character setting completely collapsed, and her attitude toward Fang Chen changed by 180 degrees. Fang Chen’s laying flat caused the male lead to have no one suppressing him, losing many opportunities to improve himself, and the normal plot of showing off turned into being slapped in the face instead. Female lead: “Fang Chen, I misunderstood you. I want to become the woman behind you, sheltering you from wind and rain!” Male lead: “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Don’t bully the poor young man. Those who bullied me will pay the price!” Fang Chen: “Male and female leads, stay away from me. I want to lie flat!” After lying flat, Fang Chen discovered that the character settings of the male and female leads had collapsed!

Sold To The Cruel Prince

He claims she belongs to another man… but he looks at her like she’s already his. Aveline Willowgrave was born to wealth, dignity… and a future she would never live to claim. At ten years old, she watched her parents die. The years that followed were worse. Her uncle stole her inheritance, her home, and her freedom. And at last… he sold her. She was masked, chained, and priced like livestock before a room of hungry men. Just as the crowd surges forward to strip her bare, a single voice cuts through the auction… A bid so high it silences the entire hall. A knight from Greenvale. He does not save her. He buys her. And when he removes his helmet, Aveline’s breath catches. Theron. The quiet orphan boy she once mocked when her world was still soft and golden. Now, he stands before her, powerful, controlled… and impossible to read. He tells her she was never meant for him. She was purchased as a gift, for Prince Vaelor of Greenvale, the Crown Prince whispered to be as cruel as he is untouchable. Cornered between slavery and a fate worse than death, Aveline makes the only choice left to her. “Don’t give me to the prince,” she whispers. “Take me as your mistress instead.” But Theron did not return to her life by accident. He has his own reasons. His own secrets. And as Aveline is drawn into Greenvale’s glittering court, she begins to wonder... Why did he choose her? Why did he disappear days before her parents died? And why, when he looks at her now, does it feel less like hatred… and more like something far more dangerous?
