Hidden valley :Rise of Regent's Queen

She married him when he had nothing. Before titles. Before power. The empire survives not by the Emperor’s command, but by the shadow behind him. As famine stretches into its second year, noble families sharpen their ambitions, believing the throne to be weak. Yet they misjudge the quiet force beside it—Regent Zhao, uncle to the Emperor and architect of unseen strategies. While the court whispers of rivalry between ruler and regent, the two move in secret harmony, dismantling powerful clans from within. But beyond the capital, a secret breathes. Lin Yue—once declared dead, once the Regent’s wife—lives hidden in a distant valley, guarding both her survival and a child whose blood could shift the empire’s fate. Messages pass through hidden compartments and loyal messengers, though not all hands are faithful. Doctor Su, clever and patient, weaves her own design around the throne. As loyalties are tested and truths resurface, the empire stands at the edge of revelation. What specific event forces Lin Yue out of her "dead" status and into the open? Because when the past returns, it does not ask for permission—it demands power. After bringing the empire under their control, Lin Yue and Regent Zhao Ling finally gain the peace they fought for. But their quiet days do not last long. A mysterious rumor begins to spread across the continent—whispers about the lost treasure of a fallen kingdom, hidden somewhere in a forbidden valley no one has ever returned from. Curious and cautious, Lin Yue and the Regent gather a small team and follow the ancient clues. What begins as a search for treasure soon turns into a dangerous journey through deadly forests, forgotten ruins, and secrets buried for centuries. But they are not the only ones searching. on discord : n_d0736_55870(N_D*)

Sacrificed to the Tyrant King: The Witch Who Conquered the Continent

Hermi did not volunteer for this marriage. She is a royal bastard, hunted down by a father she has never met, then handed off to a foreign king whose name is whispered like a curse. A perfectly efficient solution for everyone involved. Except Hermi. That foreign king rules a wasteland so barren and forsaken that the six surrounding kingdoms use it as a dumping ground for criminals and exiles. He is rumored to be a tyrant. Every princess sent before her is said to have died within months. Hermi's expectations are, understandably, low. She arrives with exactly one goal: survive long enough to burn her home kingdom to the ground. A modest ambition, all things considered. Survival, however, turns out to be complicated. The land is hostile. Her husband runs cold and scorching in equal measure. The crown on her head feels less like power, and more like a very formal death sentence. Then, somewhere between a wasteland and a husband who wouldn't stop watching her, Hermi awakens something the continent hasn't seen in thousands of years. A magic so ancient and absolute it rewrites the rules of the world. The kind that makes kingdoms nervous. The kind that makes alliances form overnight. Hermi arrived in the wasteland to start a war. She didn't expect to become the reason the entire world has no choice but to declare one against her. — Tags: Dark Romantasy, Morally Grey, Political Intrigue, Kingdom Building, Power Couple, Slow Burn, War, Dragons, Monster Hunt, Magic System, Level Up, Power Growth — Warning: Explicit Gore and Sexual Content

Transmigrated: Married to a Cold Mage, So I Built My Own Kingdom

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.” **** Per Golden Ticket = 5 extra chapters
