Nest Of Lies

Gemini4ever_
In this city that never sleeps, crime is no longer merely an act of violence... it has transformed into a work of art. A series of murders occur with terrifying precision. At every crime scene, not a single trace is left behind, except for one thing the perpetrator always leaves behind: A pair of bird wings arranged elegantly beside the victim's body, and a single playing card placed face up. The police call this culprit "The Dealer." Every card left behind holds a number and meaning, every placement of the wings carries significance. It is as if the victims were not simply killed, but were merely assigned "roles" in a grand game whose rules no one truly understands. Li Yuan, the captain of the investigation team, finds himself cornered. He is not fighting against an ordinary criminal, but against a brilliant mind playing on an entirely different level. Then, Shen Yi arrives. This calm man with sharp eyes seems capable of reading a language invisible to others. Under his touch, the positions of the wings and the meanings of the cards slowly unravel, revealing a path that was once shrouded in total darkness. The thick wall of mystery begins to crack. However... They have forgotten one crucial thing. That only the creator of the game knows exactly where every card is placed, and where those wings were always meant to fly.

When Obsession Wore A Brother's Face.

‎*Mature Content* Vivian Ravenscroft was never meant to live this life. ‎Swapped at birth by a desperate mother—not just to save her, but to place her where destiny could shape her—Vivian grows up under the powerful Ravenscroft name, believing Sebastian, ten years her senior, is only an untouchable brother figure. ‎Protective. ‎Distant. ‎Forbidden. ‎Until the night violence shatters her world. ‎As she recovers, the truth unravels: her royal bloodline, a father who erased her existence, and the devastating reason she was raised beside Sebastian—to bond with the one man she was never allowed to love. ‎The man who looks at her and whispers, ‎“I thought you had given yourself away…” ‎Only to learn her heart—and her body were never claimed by another. ‎Stanley was never love. ‎He was survival. ‎Drawn into royal decrees, billionaire rivalries, and laws written in blood, Vivian must decide whether to obey a destiny chosen for her—or fight for the one her heart recognizes. ‎Because the way Sebastian looks at her now… has changed. ‎It lingers. ‎It burns. ‎It strips away every lie she once believed. ‎At a royal wedding watched by kings, presidents, and the most powerful names in the world… ‎the distance between them finally breaks. ‎And when the night falls— ‎There are no more titles. ‎No more rules. ‎No more pretending. ‎Only him. ‎Only her. ‎In the quiet heat of a marble bath, where silence wraps around them and the past finally loosens its grip… ‎his hand finds hers. ‎His touch is no longer restrained. ‎And when he kisses her, ‎It is deep. ‎Unsteady. ‎Years of control slipping all at once. ‎Vivian doesn’t stop him. ‎She melts into him… answers him… trusts him. ‎Because somewhere between the lies, the pain, and the years they were forced apart— ‎her heart had already chosen him. ‎And when he finally takes that last step… ‎When the space between them disappears— ‎She breaks. ‎A soft cry leaving her lips. ‎A moment of pain… of truth… of surrender. ‎And then— ‎Nothing but him. ‎Because what she gives him that night is not just her body— ‎but the part of her that has never belonged to anyone else. ‎Her first. ‎Her only. ‎Sealed in a moment neither of them can ever take back. ‎Because some bonds are not accidents. ‎They are written long before birth. ‎Tested through pain. ‎And fulfilled in the moments where resistance finally turns into surrender. ‎And love like theirs… ‎Was never meant to be broken.
