Ruthless

He was once nothing, a lowly staff member in the Hart family company. Framed by the ruthless Hart patriarch, betrayed by his colleagues, and thrown into prison, he never made it out alive. But fate gave him a second chance. Reborn years earlier, he awakens determined to avenge his death. To everyone else, he’s still the poor, insignificant son-in-law who married into the Hart family only to be despised, mocked, and eventually divorced by their youngest granddaughter, who traded him for a man from a powerful family. But beneath the disguise lies the truth, he is the heir of the most powerful family in the nation. And this time, he’s not alone. With a trusted friend who knows his secret, a loyal vice president managing his empire in the shadows, and the skills of an undercover detective, he begins his silent war. The Harts humiliated him once. Now he will tear their empire apart, piece by piece even if it means facing the woman who scorned him and discovering she’s tangled in the city’s darkest crimes. “Rebirth of the Hidden Heir” is a modern-day rebirth revenge thriller filled with betrayal, fast-paced suspense, and explosive romance, where every alliance is a risk and every family dinner could end in blood.

Born into violence and hardship, a charismatic fighter discovers that winning the heart of the otherworldly being he desires requires nothing less than a crown of his own.

Set in a fantasy realm echoing medieval Europe, the story follows a ruthless warrior's bloody path to power where alliances are forged in both the battlefield and the bedroom. The protagonist, Luc Beaumont, is as dangerous as he is magnetic, leaving a trail of conquered enemies and seduced lovers men and women alike in his wake. He takes what he wants without apology, building his empire one calculated move at a time. (Note: While the story moves at a steady pace, the protagonist earns his victories through cunning and force, not cheap tricks. Luc shows no mercy, particularly to male rivals. Romantic and erotic content appears throughout, but not in every chapter.)

Kael Dravon is an eighteen year old orphan living on the outskirts of Draven's Hollow, a small town built over ruins no one will explain. He has no family, no cultivation ability by every official measure, and no place in a world that ranks human worth by spiritual power. He has survived on isolation and discipline alone. On the morning of the Ashveil Order's tri-annual recruitment visit, something shifts inside Kael during his daily meditation. A seal of ancient origin fractures and releases a cultivation base so immense and so foreign to the known elemental spectrum that it destroys the Order's examination crystal on contact. The Order, alarmed and intrigued, takes him as an outer disciple. Within the Ashveil Order, Kael is immediately targeted. Daven Sorrel, the Order's top genius and the son of a senior elder, sees Kael as a threat to his standing and orchestrates a campaign of humiliation against him. Kael endures it with cold patience, studying the Order's resources, absorbing its techniques, and growing at a rate that defies every known cultivation model. As Kael rises through the Realms, he begins uncovering the truth buried beneath his own existence. His parents were not wanderers or commoners. They were the last surviving members of the Dravon bloodline, direct descendants of a lineage the Heavenly Dominion Empire declared extinct two decades ago. The Ashveil Order participated in their destruction. His entire childhood of erasure was not an accident. It was a containment strategy. The First Being's blood does not permit containment.

To her family, Alexander Chen is nothing more than a polite, struggling marketing coordinator — lucky their daughter hasn’t left him yet. To his wife, Victoria, he’s a convenient placeholder while she laughs a little too loudly at another man’s jokes and slips away for “late meetings.” But Alex has secrets. Behind the patient smile lies a mind sharper than steel and a fortune far greater than anyone suspects. For three years, he’s played the role of the obedient husband, enduring the humiliation, the betrayals, the lies. Now, the mask is coming off. As Victoria falls deeper into David Morrison’s orbit, Alex prepares to show them both what choices cost. Love may have made him weak. Betrayal is about to make him unstoppable. Marriage was her game. War will be his.

Betrayed by a childhood sweetheart who stripped him of everything he owned, Arthur hit rock bottom when his mother slipped into a coma. Just as poverty and medical debt closed in, a staggering revelation upended his world: the man who abandoned them to the gutter wasn't just a deadbeat father—he was the Hoffman patriarch, the richest man on earth. He didn’t want the billionaire's blood, and he certainly didn't care about a fortune that arrived decades too late. But when raw grief and rage hit their absolute peak, an unfamiliar interface flickered into existence: **The Payback System**. With a singular, ruthless mandate to strip his enemies of everything they value, Arthur’s path is set. He has two goals: secure the mythical World Tree fruit to pull his mother back from the brink, and systematically tear down every person who ever walked over him.

On our wedding day, she didn't say "I do." She toasted my health, slid a poisoned needle into my goblet, and watched me choke on my own blood. My last sight was her stepping over my body into the arms of the man who bought her. I thought that was the end. I was wrong. I woke up in the Valerian Empire as Cale von Valerius—a discarded, "crippled" Third Prince who everyone expects to die quietly in a corner. But at the Imperial Welcome Banquet, she walked through the doors. Same face. Same voice. Same cruel beauty. Now, she’s Lady Evelyn, the newly betrothed bride of my ruthless older brother, the Crown Prince. She doesn't remember the blood on her hands or the altar where I died. She thinks I’m just a harmless, coughing prince with one foot in the grave. Let her think that. I’ll let her walk down the aisle again—right into the trap I’m building underneath her feet.
