“You…” She stepped back. Then back again, her mouth dropped open. “You… You cannot be…”

“I am,” Etan said, and his hair raked back as he pushed his mask off his handsome face. So handsome her heart raced.

His hair was ebony black, his skin a warm brown that threatened to fade in in the winter months. He stared at her with glittering green eyes, over high cheekbones and a noble nose, his jaw tight and shadowed this late in the day. His chin was high over the pillar of his neck that she’d just touched with its hard lines and steel strength, so different to her own. And his chest... She gasped and covered her eyes. She’d humiliated herself revealing her stupid, childish curiosity.

“No, Ayleth. This changes nothing.”

“How can you say that? It changes everything!” She was horrified to realize she was crying.

“Ayleth, please.” His voice cracked on the plea and she stared at him, shoving her mask up and off, despite how it would pull her hair out of the beautiful twist the maid had managed for her.

His eyes locked on hers and she couldn’t think. She couldn’t breathe.

She had met her One. And he was the son of her bloodsworn enemy.

She stared at him as he stepped forward again, offering both hands, palm up. “Touch me,” he whispered. “Hold my hands. This is real, Ayleth. I don’t know how it happened, but this is real. Please don’t deny it.”

She couldn’t resist. She raised a trembling hand to his cheek, letting her palm catch on the scruff of his jaw. He blew out a breath and put his hand over hers, and that jolt that happened whenever they touched shivered through her again.

“Please, Ayleth.”

“I cannot deny it,” she whispered.

A princess's duty is to be beautiful, quiet, not loud, to be seen and not to be heard, which was how Dahlia lived most of her life. Bound by the expectations of her title, she spent years trying to prove to her father that she was more than just a princess and capable of being more than an ornament in his court but each time she never got the chance. Instead, she was forced into a marriage of convenience with the bravest knight in all the kingdom, Reagan Hawthorne.Dahlia thought she would use this marriage to escape the brutal crutches of her father and glide out of her cage but Reagan’s cold disdain was an unexpected prison of its own. While he waged wars on distant lands, she stayed behind, holding his household together and protecting the people he seemed to ignore. But Dahlia carried a dangerous secret. By day, she was the perfect wife. By night, she became the “Black Knight,” a masked vigilante fighting for justice in the shadows.Reagan returned, ready to focus on his personal mission: avenging his father’s death. To him, Dahlia was just another pawn in his plans—a spoiled princess he needed to tolerate. But as cracks began to form in her perfect façade, Reagan couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to his wife than met the eye.Now, with enemies circling closer and their secrets threatening to collide, Dahlia and Reagan must confront the lies they’ve told themselves and each other. But when masks fall and truths are revealed, will their fragile bond withstand the storm—or will it shatter beyond repair?One wound. One secret. One night that changes everything.

Xin Haikong, an ordinary social animal, unfortunately died suddenly after staying up late again, but was sent to the world of Detective Conan by the system, became a bottle of real wine in the winery, and played a game called “Fraud Game”.
In the game, he needs to play a real wine that cuts black and white, misleads readers with various heroic actions, and packs himself into a red square.
After thorough thinking, he decided to go undercover as a policeman to the Metropolitan Police Department, but he never expected that his promotion speed was really too fast.
He acted too hard, solved major cases repeatedly, and with too deceptive appearance, he became the darling of the media, the representative of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and the rising star of the Japanese police circle. There have been media predictions that he is likely to become the fastest promoted person in the Japanese police circle.
So, if the black-clothed organization is not destroyed again!

The high-dimensional system released a game in a different world called: “Fraud Game”.
You are a bottle of real wine and a complete black party. You must act according to your personality and complete the main task released by the system.
But at the same time, you have to make readers think that you are the red party, the embodiment of justice. After the main story begins, you will receive feedback from readers in real time, which can be used to adjust the way you play. When the game is approaching the finale, the system will automatically count the psychology of readers in different worlds, and if more than 80% of the people who recognize you as the red side are the game victory; otherwise, the game fails.
You must do all the bad things without tainting the dust, the city is deep but innocent, and you must make all those who have been hurt by you think that you are the salvation and the light that never goes out in the darkness.

1. There are a lot of private settings, please be tolerant
2. The protagonist is Zhenzhenzhenjiu (the face of the irritable old man), the acting emperor (there is a process of improvement).
3. The full-text timeline is closed-loop, and all violations are foreshadowing. There are a lot of timeline issues involved in the plot, and the mode of internal shuttle in the same time and space is adopted. You can refer to the movie “Previous Destination”.
4. No cp is because stupid writers may not be very good at writing emotional lines, and family and friendship are favored by the group.
5. Mother must be HE
6. It is not recommended to skip chapters to read, because the author is an ambush pen madman, and most of the cases are related to each other.
Supplement: Comprehensive manga, there are literary and competitive juvenile manga content, but the length is less.
