When Beauty Meets Beast

Don Marcello, an ex-undercover agent who was initiated into Mafiadom to have his ex back, divorced his gun moll. As the Mafias call their wives. But when he realized his mistake, Melissa had gotten married to the Capon of Nostra Territory. He went on a journey to find her.

The walls still smelled of smoke when Luca opened his eyes. Ash drifted like tired snow, settling on leather boots and broken glass. His hands trembled, stained dark, but he couldn’t say whose blood it was. Outside, sirens wailed like mourning wolves. He stepped into the street, and the city looked back — neon, rain, old hunger. A bartender recognized him and flinched. “Thought you were dead.” Maybe he was. In flashes he saw a rooftop under a red moon. A woman. Rhea. Her voice like warmth through winter: Don’t forget who you are. But he had. Now, every alley whispered his name — some in awe, some in warning. The beast inside stirred, pacing, remembering what he could not. Luca walked on, jaw set, heart heavy. He would find the truth. Even if it tore him open like the moon tears the tide.

No clan. No bloodline. No mercy. Armstrong Norman was expelled from his family at sixteen and declared permanently worthless after three failed awakenings. The cultivation world is cruel, ancient, and ruled by bloodline power. He has none. What he has instead is a body stronger than any awakened cultivator his age, an ambition sharp enough to cut heaven, and a sealed mark over his heart that caused an ancient god to stand up in alarm the moment it flickered. The mark sealed behind three layers of ancient power, sleeps the Core Source Bloodline of the Primordial Chaos Sovereign. The mythical beast that devoured worlds before gods existed. A bloodline so catastrophic that its faint stirring woke sleeping demons, shook divine thrones, and opened the eyes of creatures buried outside space itself. A Guild Master offers him a deal. Awaken the impossible and assassinate an emperor. Armstrong says yes. And that's when some trash would burn the whole world down.

Everyone called Jaxen a "Mana-Dead" loser. Even after graduating from the prestigious Aether Academy, he couldn't find a job cleaning toilets. But when his father begs the tyrant Lord Valerius for mercy, Jaxen is forced into a humiliating "Slave-Marriage" to the coldest beauty in the city, Seraphina Valerius. The city laughs as the "Trash Son-in-Law" is forced to sweep the floors of the woman who once chased him. They don't know that Jaxen has awakened the "Primordial Void System." Every insult they throw at him fuels his power. Every time they try to suppress him, he siphons their life force. He isn't just a husband—he's a predator waiting for the perfect moment to devour the entire Valerius lineage.

Twelve months ago, the world fractured. Rifts opened in the sky and spewed monsters into the streets. The old governments collapsed within weeks as the world burned. Soon, certain people awakened to magical abilities. The awakened took control of the ruins. They conquered the rifts and claimed the beast cores to level up their own power. Kai was a lowly porter, hired to carry loot for elite hunters inside deadly rifts. When his team encountered a powerful boss monster, they didn’t fight, they sacrificed him. Betrayed and thrown to his death, Kai was meant to be nothing more than another forgotten casualty of a broken world. But instead of dying, he awakens at the heart of the very rift that killed him. Reborn as its master. Now, the monsters obey his will. The dungeon bends to his command. Every hunter who enters becomes prey and every death fuels his growing power. The same elites who once looked down on him are returning, greedy for easy rewards. They still think this is just another dungeon. They have no idea what’s waiting for them. Because this time, Kai isn’t the one being hunted. He’s the one setting the traps. And when the doors close, no one is getting out alive

She remembers him in whispers. He remembers her in silence. And the past remembers them both in blood. In a world where memories slip between lifetimes and the dead never truly rest, detective Yu Bin finds herself haunted by dreams that feel like someone else's pain—and yet far too familiar. Her nights are filled with fragments: fire, betrayal, a blade she once held, and a voice she can’t forget whispering, “I’m sorry.” When a chilling case involving two murdered children resurfaces buried wounds, Yu Bin is forced to confront not only the mystery behind the crime, but also the echo of something far older—a life lost, a love burned, and a betrayal that fractured more than just her heart. Beside her stands Xian Chen, a man who says little, but whose eyes hold centuries of guilt. Their bond is magnetic, volatile, and laced with questions neither dares to answer. Who killed her parents and master in that other life? Why does pain return when the truth stays buried? As the threads of their reincarnated fates unravel, so too do the lies that once rewrote destiny. Because love never forgets. And revenge never sleeps. And sometimes, the only way to heal—is to remember what broke you.
