Raising the Crown Prince from the shadows

CherryClouds
In the golden cages of the Inner Court, survival is a luxury. For Consort Lin Wan, it is a daily, bloody war. Her son is a prodigy. Brilliant, dutiful, and backed by the empire’s hardened generals, he is everything a future ruler should be. And that is exactly why the paranoid Emperor has marked them both for death. Unable to execute the boy without triggering a military revolt, the Emperor decides to quietly assassinate the mother and break the son's spirit. But the Emperor makes one fatal miscalculation: he assumes Lin Wan is just another fragile concubine waiting for a poisoned cup of tea. He doesn't know she is the architect of the palace's most ruthless underground syndicate. While the Emperor rules in the light, she operates a criminal empire in the dark. Eunuchs act as her enforcers, maids as her spies, and the imperial guards as her smuggled muscle. She controls the blackmail that holds the outer court ministers by the throat, and she dictates who lives and dies in the harem's shadows. The Emperor wants to play a game of quiet assassinations. But she and her son are building a shadow family that will dismantle his dynasty piece by piece. Let the Emperor scheme. The true boss of the palace has already sentenced him to death.

Evermount: I Was Betrayed By My Guild, So I Restarted The Game

For fifteen years, Rio dominated the world’s most popular VR game, Evermount. Known across the servers as the Silver War Goddess, she reached Level 243, a height no other female player had ever achieved. Raids, world bosses, hidden dungeons—Rio conquered them all as one of the pillars of the legendary guild Royal Knights. But legends don’t always fall in battle. After years of loyalty, Rio is suddenly betrayed and expelled from her own guild, all because the guild leader’s jealous fiancée couldn’t stand her fame. Stripped of everything she built for over a decade, Rio’s career as the top player ends in humiliation. Drunk, angry, and lost, she wanders home that night—only to be chased down by an annoying fan named Ryota who claims she dropped her wallet. Before she can get rid of him, a devastating earthquake collapses the bridge beneath them, sending both of them plunging into the freezing river below. Just before death claims her, a strange message appears before Rio’s eyes. “Would you like to start over?” When she wakes up, Rio finds herself fifteen years in the past, back in her high school days—one week before Evermount is even released. With all her memories of the future intact, Rio now has the chance to reclaim everything she lost and rise to the top once again. But there’s one problem. The same annoying boy who followed her that night—Ryota—has somehow been dragged back in time with her. Now the former top player must start from level one again… while dealing with a stubborn tag-along who might ruin everything. This time, Rio won’t just play the game. She’ll rewrite its entire history.
