It grants no power freely, offers no redemption, only a whisper:The world is a stage. Your role is the villain. Play it well.In a realm where betrayal is currency and power is the only law, William does not resist fate—he embraces it. Every alliance is a move on the board. Every rival, a piece to be sacrificed. Every betrayal, already foreseen.But even a villain is not invincible. Enemies rise. Shadows scheme. And the system watches, amused—waiting to see if he will fall...Or if he will burn the world to prove that even fate can be rewritten.But one question remains:“Who summoned him… and what do they want in return?”--------------------------------AUTHOR HEREWilliam Medici starts off seeming wholesome—but don’t be deceived.

Elaine Monroe never meant to fall in love with him. She never meant for her heart to betray her like this. But as she watches him stand beside another, hand resting on the waist of the woman he’s meant to be with, she wonders if she was always destined to be the outsider.“You knew,” she says, voice barely above a whisper. “You knew how I felt.”His jaw tightens, but he doesn’t deny it. He never does.“It wouldn’t have changed anything,” he finally says.She laughs bitterly. “I know.”Loving him was always impossible. He belonged to someone else. To his family’s expectations. To a future where Elaine had no place.“Forget whatever you think you feel,” he tells her, voice firm, but there’s something unspoken in his eyes—something that makes it hurt even more. “It will never happen.”And yet, his gaze lingers, just for a second too long.Then there’s her best friend—the one who stands beside her when the world turns its back. The one who sees her pain without asking.“You don’t have to do this to yourself,” he says, handing her his jacket on a cold night. “You deserve more than waiting for someone who will never be yours.”She wants to believe him. She wants to move forward. But some loves are impossible to forget. Some wounds never truly heal. And some desires, no matter how forbidden, refuse to die._____“loving him best decision i ever made” Elaine“you are my world”

“You dare to divorce, unless I die!” Fu Tingyao was cold and cruel, but he loved her to the point of madness, and he would turn black as soon as he left.

Before his rebirth, Mu Xingwan mistakenly regarded his benefactor as an enemy, and only when he died did he realize that he loved him to the bone.

Returning from the rebirth, Mu Xing started a counterattack late, hugged the man’s thigh tightly, slapped the face and abused the scum all the way! It is rumored on the Internet that Mu Xingwan’s heart is higher than the sky, and she stalked the popular actor Shen Yu, and recruited fans to scold “The toad wants to eat swan meat!” As a result, after the photos of Mu Xingwan’s makeup without makeup were exposed, she “slapped” her face! It was rumored on the Internet that the popular actor Shen Yu fell in love with the little fairy at first sight, but found that the little fairy was Mu Xingwan after she had no makeup… The whole network was shocked. Fu Erye, the dream lover of thousands of girls, immediately posted a group photo, and wrote @shen yu: my wife, understand?

It is also said that Mu Xingwan was timid and stupid, and all the ladies and ladies were looking forward to their divorce: the vase was not worthy of standing shoulder to shoulder with the second master.

Then, the news headlines revealed that the top student in the college entrance examination, an expert in appraising treasures… When it was all hers, it blinded everyone’s eyes.
