Lilac has lived a life of suffering. From being forced to disguise himself as a girl to survive, to being labeled cursed after failing to awaken his heavenly gifts that everyone else could, he is shunned by all.To add salt to his wound, before he turns 18, his father vanishes, and his uncle seizes the throne that should've rightfully been Lilac's as the eldest son. Before Lilac could successfully flee, he is caught and traded to the monsters beyond the kingdom—beasts so feared that no one who sees them returns.But instead of death, Lilac is claimed by Sloan.Born cursed, Sloan is a prince of the Enwulves, an extinct hybrid wolf species. Even though he is a prince, he has lived life as an outcast due to his curse that causes him to forcibly transform every full moon, thus losing his humanity. His life has been mapped out for him, but when he finds Lilac—battered, freezing, and terrified—something shifts. For the first time, his rage stills. It was just a glimpse, a scent, a tiny whimper of fright.And that was it.Humans are meant to be slaves. Enwulves are forbidden from claiming them. Keeping Lilac means war.But Sloan has never followed rules, and Lilac has never belonged—until now.~~~ | ~~~“Are you afraid of me, little human?” Sloan husked out, cold lips grazing my bleeding fingers before his lips parted slightly to release hot breath over them. I trembled, rooted in the spot with fright and unable to breathe.Was this a trick question? Of course I’m afraid of him! Everyone is! Who wouldn’t be? Slaves are never supposed to be in his presence, except they suddenly desire a quick demise. Am I supposed to respond honestly or lie?When cold lips closed around my finger, I gasped in shock, a rush of fright and dread engulfing me. He was gonna bite off my finger right now, wasn’t he? Just because my stupid brain couldn’t come up with a response? The rumors said he was a heartless psychopath, but I didn’t think it was actually true!However, a hot tongue swiped over my fingertips and I sucked in a sharp breath, exhaling shakily while my chest expanded and my brain tried to figure out what was happening, and why my fingers weren't bitten off yet— or why I’m still breathing in his presence.Next, cold, long fingers wrapped around my wrist and my hand was being tugged upward, then a nose was digging into my pulse point, and I almost fainted when cold lips dragged over the sensitive skin there. The sound of a deep inhale filled up my ear next.“Fuck. You smell so good.”Oh heavens.This was worse than I thought.Instead of killing me, was he planning to… eat me… literally???! What the fuck?

There is a very strange restaurant in the City of Sin.

This strange restaurant with their strange rules continuous to attract a long line of customers.

“This place serves the best food! The chef of this restaurant is a genius!” Some of the guests in the restaurant left glowing reviews. But these guests have a word of warning for other guests, “No matter what you do, never, never attempt to kidnap the boss or try to ‘eat and run’. You will die.”

A cute little girl stood near the door, and demanded in her tiny voice, “You have eaten the food, now pay up, or I will beat you to death.” The five-meter tall dragon suddenly felt a chill running up its spine.

[[[ MATURE CONTENT ]]]Dual Cultivation, NTRing Cultivators, Fucking Son of Heaven's Mother, Fiancee', Currupting Heroines and More...!What Happens When the Final Boss Gets Tired of Winning the Same Fight Forever?Of course, the Ultimate Villain becomes the Son of Heaven... and a DOCTOR!Meet Arjun: A 25-year-old medical student who thought his biggest problem was having parents who couldn't decide if he should save humans or animals.One truck accident later, he wakes up as Cang Wuhen — the son of the most feared villain in a cultivation world.But here's the kicker: This isn't just any villain origin story.The Heavenly Demon has been trapped in an endless time loop, fighting the same “destined hero,” Lin Feng, over and over again.Every battle ends the same way — the hero loses, dies with his girl (actually seven girls), and the cycle resets.Fed up with this nonsense joke, the Heavenly Demon pulled the ultimate reverse psychology move: He lived 25 years as a normal human to develop actual emotions, then transferred back into his son's body armed with modern medical knowledge and a completely different mindset.The plan? Live this life differently than a Heaven's puppet villain, help people, and rescue damsels in distress too and hire them as Nurses.The instant target? Wife number one, Yue Lianhua (a fox-eared beauty seeking revenge), is convinced that this mysterious young master who can perform surgery and knows about “cars” might actually BE her supposedly dead husband reincarnated. (The fox bit the hook, and now the Villain becomes the Son of Heaven.)The question isn't whether he can steal the hero's wives...It's whether he can rewrite fate itself before the loop resets again.Because when you've got medical school debt, daddy issues, and the power to corrupt heroines, sometimes the best way to win is to change the entire game.Genre: Cultivation Fantasy, System, Harem, Reincarnation.
