Bond

Synopsis “You’re not worthy of being my husband anymore, Gilbert! You’re trash! I’ve found a real man, and I’m already pregnant with his child.” On the very day Gilbert Brook walks out of prison, having taken the fall for a crime he didn’t commit, he’s greeted not with love or redemption—but betrayal. His wife, Geraldine Brook, publicly divorces him, mocking the years of loyalty, sacrifice, and silence he gave her. That night, on what was supposed to be their fourth wedding anniversary, he stumbles upon her in bed with her ex-boyfriend, Ethan Dalon. Humiliated. Shattered. Cast out into the cold rain like garbage. But that night isn’t the end of Gilbert Brook. It’s the death of a name and the rebirth of a legacy. Because Gilbert Brook never truly existed. He is Alexander Steele, rightful heir to the trillion-dollar Steele Empire. Grandson to Richard Steele, the elusive kingmaker who built a dynasty hidden from the world. Forged in secrets, wealth, and power, Alexander’s bloodline is more than just royal, it’s dangerous. Now, the man the world scorned returns as a storm. With limitless resources and a new identity, Alexander begins to unravel a list of betrayals and erase every name on it. But vengeance isn’t his only inheritance. A darker truth lies buried beneath the Steele name. A prophecy. A curse. And an artifact of unimaginable power: The Book of Ages. Ancient. Mythical. Feared. Said to hold the power to rewrite fate itself, the Book can only be awakened by a blood bond, Alexander’s blood, fused with the one he loves most. But who's she?

After being caught having an affair with his commanding officer’s wife, disgraced military operative Ethan Cross flees using a forged identity and boards a flight that crashes on a mysterious island. Stranded with Aria Vale, the only hostess aboard, Ethan discovers that the island is connected to a secret military program called Meridian—and that he has been there before. As they uncover hidden facilities, advanced weapons, altered memories, and people who look exactly like Ethan, he realizes his entire identity may have been manipulated. The truth becomes even more dangerous when Ethan discovers that his family was involved in an experiment designed to determine whether human beings can retain free will after their identities and memories are destroyed. Ethan represents the one variable the organization cannot control: choice. As thousands of survivors gather around the civilization Ethan begins building, his former commander, Marcus Vale, launches a war to force Ethan into choosing between control, sacrifice, and collapse. But Marcus has underestimated Ethan—and his bond with Aria. When Ethan finally remembers the truth about his past, he discovers that the greatest battle was never about discovering which version of him was real. It was about deciding who had the right to define him. Refusing to become a dictator or sacrifice the woman he loves, Ethan rejects the system's choices and destroys the foundation of its control. In the aftermath, he and Aria help rebuild civilization around freedom, cooperation, and individual choice. For the first time in his life, Ethan stops running from who he was and chooses who he will become.

For centuries, the Lycan throne has been protected by blood, claws, and the strength of the royal wolf. But the greatest threat to the Lycan Kingdom is not an invading army. It is a secret buried beneath the royal palace. Lyra Ashbourne has spent her entire life being treated as a disappointment. She has no wolf, no pack, and no place in a world where strength determines worth. When a violent encounter exposes an impossible ability within her, she is captured and brought before King Kaelric Veyr. Kaelric should have ordered her execution. Instead, his ancient wolf recognizes something in her that no living creature should possess. He makes her a prisoner, then a secret, and finally his most dangerous weapon. Under the king's ruthless training, Lyra discovers that she can suppress the wolves of others, shatter supernatural bonds, and awaken powers thought extinct for thousands of years. Her existence could end the wars threatening the kingdom—but it could also strip every Lycan of the very power that defines them. As enemies close in, the royal court begins to fracture. Assassins hunt Lyra, noble houses conspire against the king, and an ancient order emerges from the shadows, demanding the return of what was stolen from them. Meanwhile, the bond growing between Lyra and Kaelric threatens to become something neither of them can control. The king believes he can command his secret weapon. Lyra intends to prove him wrong. And when the truth behind her birth finally emerges, both will have to choose between the kingdom they swore to protect and the future they were never meant to have. Because the greatest secret of the Lycan throne is not that the king possesses a weapon. It is that the weapon was born to bring his kingdom to its knees.

I wasn’t reborn pure. I wasn’t reborn righteous. I was reborn unfinished. In a fractured fantasy world where cultivation advances through Marital Arts, power is forged through soul-bonds—vows that can elevate partners together or enslave them forever. Strength is no longer solitary. Love, betrayal, and shared destiny decide who ascends. Aren Valen awakens as the weakest outer disciple of the Azure Pact, carrying memories that should have died with him. In a past life, he was the Dragon Sovereign, erased at the brink of ascension by those he trusted most. Now, his Dragon Core is shattered and sealed, immune to orthodox cultivation. It awakens only through bonds freely chosen—not forced, not stolen. As ancient Dragon Veins stir, cultivation laws begin to collapse. Sects fall overnight. Empires rise on corrupted Marital Arrays that chain partners instead of empowering them. Defying all doctrine, Aren unlocks the forbidden Dragon Marital Codex, a path where power is shared without submission. Each bond awakens a Dragon aspect—Wrath, Wisdom, Dominion, Mercy—at a cost paid in trust and blood. Fate draws powerful women into his orbit: a sword cultivator haunted by memories of loving a Dragon, a rogue spirit alchemist hungry for forbidden truth, a fallen imperial princess seeking control, and a beast-blood warrior torn between instinct and reason. They are allies, rivals, and potential betrayers. But the past has returned. Aren’s former betrayers have reincarnated too, now ruling the new era—and they intend to erase him again by turning his own bonds against him. The Dragon needed a harem. The world is about to learn why.

For a thousand years, the cultivation world has been under the dominance of women, a consequence of a heavenly curse that stripped all men of their ability to cultivate. Men live as second-class citizens, while female sects, matriarchal kingdoms, and Saintesses hold full control over the world's destiny. Amidst this deep-rooted order, an ordinary man named Li Feng unexpectedly awakens the Ancient Yang Core, long lost to history. The awakening of this primordial core not only restores his ability to cultivate but also makes him the only man in the entire realm capable of doing so—an anomaly that shakes the very foundations of the world. Li Feng's unique existence soon draws unavoidable attention when it is discovered that female cultivators who train with him experience a drastic surge in energy and unprecedented cultivation speed. This phenomenon transforms Li Feng from a social outcast into an object of intense desire as well as a major threat. Saintesses from holy sects see him as a tool to achieve their sacred goals; the Demon Queen desires him for personal power and her ambition to challenge the dominance of the holy sects; while the Dragon Princess views him as a cultivation partner with the potential for a deep bond or even greater personal ambitions. Li Feng, who was originally just an ordinary man thrown into a vortex of power, must learn to navigate political intrigue, dangers lurking around every corner, and the temptation of the power within him. He will be forced to choose a path among the factions fighting over him, each with its own agenda and morality. As he grows in strength and understanding, Li Feng begins to uncover the secrets behind the ancient heavenly curse and the true connection between his Ancient Yang Core and the greater destiny of the world.
