The Substitute Wife

Joseph Guezz is the only son-in-law of the Smith family who doesn't have a wealthy fortune. Everyone always calls him a useless son-in-law, and he is always humiliated by all of his wife's family. One day, Joseph returns to his family home and becomes his father's substitute as a billionaire. Then he announces to everyone who has ever insulted him, "I AM NOT A POOR SON-IN-LAW!"

A bloodline the world branded as poison was never a curse. It was a warning—and the thing it warned about is waking up. Cast out at fourteen for the taint in his blood, Kael Voss returns to a hometown in flames, tears apart the monsters that no soldier could stop, and vanishes before the awe-struck crowd can name him. He came home for a family reunion. He finds an empty house, a cold hearth, and his mother and sister gone—fled from a man who walks under the iron seal of the Purity Council. One slaughtered pack, one whispered name, and the city remembers the Voss curse all over again. But the Council fears the wrong thing. The techniques Kael's hidden mentors drilled into him on nameless mountains are not the work of any school—they are the raw fundamentals that the world's so-called supreme powers spent lifetimes chasing. And his father, presumed dead sixteen years, left a journal that should not exist, recovered from inside a creature of the Abyss. Rivals scheme, Rifts split open along a deliberate line, and a hidden hand moves families like pieces on a board. Each life Kael saves raises his legend. Each truth he uncovers tightens the noose. Caught between a sealed town and the shadows of his own past, Kael must decide—stay the disposable tainted nobody the world wrote off, or become the force his mentors forged and his enemies dread, and risk waking the very thing the taint was warning the world to fear.

After the divorce shattered his life, Charlie wasn’t looking for redemption—only survival. But then his hands began doing the impossible. A single touch, and veins remembered what his mind had forgotten. A forgotten war god, stripped of memory but not instinct, was stirring again. In the secret wards of Skydome, patients whispered of a “Miracle Doctor” whose skills defied the laws of medicine. Each life saved fanned rumors, and each rumor pulled dangerous eyes closer. Rivals sharpened their knives, spies crept into operating rooms, and a powerful family vowed to crush him before he remembered who he really was. The more Charlie heals, the more his legend spreads. But legends attract war. To the world he’s a savior. To his enemies, a threat that must be erased. Now he faces one choice: remain the broken man his past tried to destroy… or awaken the warlord who once made nations tremble. And this time, there will be no forgetting.

He ended a war that lasted ten years. But the deadliest battles are the ones fought in silence.

But peace is a fragile illusion. When Aiden’s closest friend is found dead just days before his wedding—his eyes savagely removed and all evidence leading disturbingly close to Aiden’s own family—the war hero realizes that the real war never ended. It simply changed its battlefield. Now, trapped in a web of secrets, politics, and betrayal, Aiden must face an enemy that can’t be fought with bullets or blades—an enemy that wears familiar faces. And as he digs deeper, he learns that some wars are not won on the frontlines... but in the shadows of the soul.

Cast aside into the dark corners of his own estate, he is forced to marry Elena Rossi, the daughter of an enemy sent solely to humiliate what remains of his dignity.

"Take the lifeboat," his wife said coldly. "You're strong enough to survive." Those were the last words Dante Moretti heard before the woman he loved sailed away... with another man. Dante spent every penny he had to rent a luxury yacht, hoping to give his CEO wife the romantic proposal she had always dreamed of. Instead, she brought her handsome assistant, mocked Dante's love, and treated him like an inconvenience on his own surprise trip. Then a monstrous storm struck. Bleeding from a head wound and desperately fighting to keep the yacht from sinking, Dante begged his wife for help. "Ginevra... please. I can't hold the wheel alone." She never even looked at him. Instead, she chose her assistant. She gave him the only working lifeboat, stole the engagement ring Dante had bought for her, and left her own husband behind to drown in the freezing sea. As darkness swallowed him, Dante accepted that he had been abandoned by the woman he loved. But the ocean refused to let him die. Deep beneath the waves lay an ancient sanctuary where forgotten gods had slept for thousands of years. There, Dante was chosen by the God of War, inherited the supreme legacy of the Sea God Dragon, and awakened as the new Sea God Commander. The weak husband everyone mocked died beneath the ocean. The man who returned was a ruler of the seas, a dragon whose command could shake heaven and earth. Now, his CEO wife believes his divorce is nothing more than an empty threat, while the assistant who stole her heart eagerly waits to take Dante's place. They think he will beg. They think he still loves them. They are about to learn the terrifying truth. The man they abandoned no longer wants revenge. He won't forgive anyone.

For years, Mikael Winston let the world believe he was nothing. He played the fool so his family would have one less person to fight over the inheritance. He buried his name, his pride, and everything he was capable of becoming just to keep the peace. Then, when fire tore through a burning building, he risked his life to save a woman— and paid for it with his face. The woman he saved married him anyway. At least, that was what he believed. One week was all it took for her to reveal the truth. She had gotten what she wanted: a fifty-million-dollar contract signed by his hands, her fortune secured, and no intention of staying married to the scarred man she'd once pretended to love. There had never been a real marriage. No vows that counted. No future together. Just humiliation. And somehow, through a cruel twist of fate, Mikael was legally bound to another woman instead—a young maid with nothing but a scholarship, a kind heart, and nowhere else to go. Like him, she had been discarded by the people who were supposed to value her. They laughed at them both. They should have been more careful about who they were laughing at. Because Mikael Winston was never the useless man they thought he was. The heir they buried had finally come home. He built Vivienne's fortune with his own two hands. Now, he'll tear it down the same way. Piece by piece. Deal by deal. Until her empire is nothing but ruins—and the only name anyone remembers is Mikael Winston.

Ethan Morrison was just a programmer. At least, that's what everyone believed. His billionaire wife pitied him. Her business partner mocked him. The whole city laughed at the ordinary man who somehow married the most powerful woman alive. Then his daughter fell sick, and a blood test proved she was never his. His wife's so called business partner had him run off the road and left him paralyzed. And Clara? She shook hands with the man who shattered her husband's spine and called it a business decision. From his wheelchair, Ethan picked up his phone and dialed a number buried deep in his contacts. A cold, powerful voice answered. Three words: "I'll be there." Nobody asked why a woman who controlled half the country's wealth dropped everything for a simple programmer. Nobody asked because nobody knew. But they were all about to find out that the man they treated like a bug beneath their shoes was the one person in this city they should have never touched.

The first thing Shen Rui sees after opening his eyes is a corpse hanging from the city gate. The second is his own name carved beneath it.

Soon he discovers the famine was deliberate, the war was engineered, and someone within the empire has been waiting for Blackstone to fall. Now Shen Rui must choose. Submit to a dying empire... or build a kingdom strong enough to bury it.
