Hidden Gem

Two years ago, the trillion dollar king of the Sterling Financial Empire vanished after a brutal assassination attempt on a mountain road, left to die by his unfaithful wife and treacherous family. He woke up with zero memories in the muddy gutters of the city slums, taken in by a kindly diner owner and his beautiful daughter Clara, who named him Marcus. For twenty four months, he lived as a quiet kitchen beggar, chopping onions and washing dirty plates. But when a ruthless loan shark and a corrupt young master slide into the slums to destroy his new home and force Clara into a dark fate, a brutal pipe strike to his head shatters the mental wall. The amnesiac beggar is dead. Christian Sterling has awakened. Armed with a single text message that can freeze entire national banking sectors in two minutes, and backed by a fiercely loyal elite security shadow team, the ultimate master begins his terrifying cold blooded comeback. They thought he was a bug under their shoes, but they are about to learn the true price of crossing a hidden god.

Following his mother's passing at the age of ten, Ivan became the black sheep of the Langland Family. His Father's Mistress became his Father's new wife and their hidden son became the young Master of the Langland Family. His pretentious stepmother would stop at nothing to tarnish his already ruined image, and his father made no secret of the fact that he did not want him. On his Grandfather's birthday, Ivan was framed by his fiancee who teamed up with his stepmom and stepbrother for rape. That rainy night, Ivan wandered around as he had been abandoned by the whole family. But things took a surprising turn when his mother's father messages him and instantly deposits $1 billion into his account. It was discovered that his mother was the heiress of a secret empire, and Ivan, being the son, would have to succeed his mother as the new heir. For a year, no one heard of him, including his family. But now, he's back. Not as the chubby clumsy Ivan we used to know but a different Ivan who went through a transformation. But what would life be without adversaries, particularly when he returns to school and finds himself in Classroom A, the most chaotic class in the school? What is life without making his haters lose face? Ivan will have to deal with more than just bullies in his school; he must also figure out what caused his mother's death.

To everyone at the university, Riley was nothing more than a pathetic errand boy, a shadow to be stepped on. But when his girlfriend, Ema, dumps him for a wealthy playboy, the mask begins to crack. Riley isn't just rich; he is the hidden heir to the legendary Blade legacy, a name so powerful that the city itself was built in his honor.

From stadium-sized public humiliations to dodging assassins sent by his own "family," Riley is no longer playing the part of the victim he is coming for the throne.

Everyone thought he was a useless son-in-law, a penniless man living off his wife’s family. For years, he endured the insults and the relentless scorn from his in-laws, especially his mother-in-law, who never missed a chance to humiliate him. “You’re nothing but a parasite,” she spat one day. “Leave my daughter at once! She deserves someone better.” And so he did… but not in the way anyone expected. Three days later, a convoy of luxury cars arrived at their doorstep. Security guards opened the door with military precision. Out stepped the same “useless” husband but now in a designer suit, wearing an air of command and confidence that silenced everyone. The truth had finally surfaced: he wasn’t just rich, he was the wealthiest man in the world, a hidden titan who had chosen a quiet life for reasons only he understood. The mother-in-law turned pale. “Please,” she begged, trembling. “Don’t leave my daughter. We didn’t know who you really were…” Too late. The tables have turned, and the man once ridiculed is now the one holding all the power. But he doesn’t seek revenge, only justice and respect.

For three years, Ethan Cole has endured life as the laughingstock of the Dawson family—scrubbing their floors, bearing their insults, and fading into the background of their lives as a mere nobody. What the Dawsons have no idea about is that Ethan is actually the exiled heir to the Cole Conglomerate, a trillion-dollar empire that commands fear across the globe. Once the youngest commander in a clandestine international unit, he vanished after a family feud that cost him everything. His punishment was clear: live as an ordinary man, reveal nothing, and interfere with nothing. Yet the world has not forgotten him. When six sleek black cars pull up in front of the Dawson home and elite operatives bow before him, Ethan receives the message he has long awaited: “Young Master, your exile ends today.” With his identity restored, Ethan begins the quiet process of reclaiming his power—but he’s not leaving just yet. The Dawsons, who have belittled him time and again, will discover the truth—slowly, painfully, and in a very public manner. As rivals, crime syndicates, and corporate foes emerge from the shadows, Ethan’s return sends shockwaves through the city. With each step he takes, he unearths a deeper conspiracy, a more insidious enemy, and a past he can no longer escape. The world believed the Hidden Dragon had perished. They were mistaken. Now, Ethan will rise again— not as an insignificant son-in-law, but as the formidable heir that the world fears. Power. Respect. Revenge. The throne he once forsook is waiting for him. And this time, no one will be able to stop him.

Once, Ethan Ashford gave everything for the woman he loved. In return, she betrayed him. Veronica Harrington secretly gave the resources she took from Ethan to her lover, Damien Blackwood, the so-called Chosen One, the Protagonist, the Child of Luck, or whatever else. While Damien and other protagonists took countless "fortuitous encounters" to become the world's heroes, Ethan became the villain everyone despised. Betrayed and tortured, his family was destroyed, his bloodline exterminated, and he died filled with hatred and regret. But fate wasn't finished with him. Ethan awakened a hundred years in the past, before every tragedy began. And that too with a heaven-defying System, called the Villain System, that could give him rewards for changing his own destiny and destroying these protagonists' fortunes. This time, Ethan knew every opportunity the Chosen Ones would obtain, every scheme hidden in the shadows, and every betrayal waiting for him. Did the Divine Healer descend from the mountains? "I'll steal his inheritance." Is the King of Soldiers returning to reclaim his glory? "I'll crush him before he even rises." The destined Son of Fortune? The Heavenly Genius? The Peerless Sword Saint? I'll take every one of their opportunities and leave them with nothing. "As for the heroines who once stood beside those protagonists... If they deserve redemption, they'll stand by my side instead. If they choose my enemies, they'll share their fate." In this life, Ethan would no longer be the stepping stone beneath the protagonists' feet. He would become the nightmare that hunts every Chosen One. After all... "Who says villains are destined to lose?"
