Aiko is an extremely poor girl. She has less than nothing. 
She lives in the Empire of Shintokanai, in a world where men rule. 

She is forced to work day and night for her Uncle and Sisters. Until one day, she gets kicked out. 

Without power, money or status, Aiko's fleeting moment of joy withers into despair and gloom as she realizes she is doomed to die, hungry and cold on the streets. 
She will luckily be saved by Eriko, the head maid of the Emperor's palace. 

Aiko will be forced to become a maid. What other choices does she have? Starve or serve. She has just started and she already hates her job. 

But what happens, when she catches the Emperor's cold and brutal eye? The Emperor is known for his cruel ways. Deaths are common in the palace, and they stain every corner. He is a horrible man. He adores spilling blood. 

Life in the palace is not easy. It is like a never ending maze. Whatever path you will take, can elevate you, or destroy you completely and thoroughly. 
Finding a honest person in the mess is hard. What will Aiko find in the Emperor's soul?

Collared In Crimson by KJFujo
8 parts Ongoing Mature
Rurihito never imagined his life would change so drastically overnight. The son of a debt-ridden and absent man, he was ripped from his quiet routine and thrown at the feet of Himeko Hanamura-an imposing, cold-blooded alpha and the leader of a powerful Yakuza faction. With no options left, Ruri accepts a contract of submission to pay off a debt that was never his, becoming the property of a woman who radiates danger and absolute control. But Himeko is more than just a ruthless boss-she watches him with a gaze that is both possessive and intrigued, testing his limits and pushing him into a world where he has no voice yet must learn to survive. What begins as a forced agreement soon turns into a battle of wills, where Ruri fights to hold onto his identity while becoming increasingly entangled in Himeko's overwhelming presence. In the underworld of crime and betrayal, where alliances are fragile and violence is law, Ruri and Himeko discover that their connection runs deeper than the contract they signed. But how thin is the line between desire and obsession? And when enemies close in, how far will Himeko go to keep Ruri by her side? Between dominance and surrender, love and power, they walk a dangerous path where the greatest risk isn't losing their freedom-but losing each other. --- Note: English is not my first language, so I appreciate your patience with any errors. I'm continuously learning and striving to improve. Content Warning: This story takes place in an Omegaverse universe and features characters with biological traits specific to this genre. One of the protagonists, Rurihito, was born with an intersex condition that grants him a functional reproductive system, aligning with his omega classification within the narrative. This characteristic is portrayed naturally and is not problematized by the characters or the plot.

Forced To Marry A Mafia | 18+ by SereneDamsel
35 parts Complete Mature
(My other books r better lol) "Why me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She backed up until the cold wall pressed against her, but he didn't stop, closing in until there was almost no space between them. He leaned down, his face inches from hers, breath warm against her cheek as he spoke, his voice low and almost too close. "Sorry, darling," he murmured, his tone soft and unsettling. "You just happened to be in the wrong place... at the wrong time." Aiswarya, a 20-year-old college girl, never imagined her life would take such a dark turn within a single night. Abducted by Arjun, a dangerous mafia leader, she's forced into a twisted marriage against her will. Arjun's attraction to her is undeniable, but it isn't love. Aiswarya is terrified, trapped in a nightmare she can't escape, while Arjun's possessive need for control starts to blur the lines of his desires. ❗ TRIGGERING CONTENT. YOU MAY NOT GET THE SATISFACTION YOU WANT, SO IF YOU HATE THE BOOK, JUST DROP IT.❗ (pls don't hate on me as it's my first story and clearly not the best. Trust me, I'm aware.) #1 - Forced Marriage #1 - Forbidden Love #1 - Indian Writer #1 - Beauty and the beast #1 - Indian Mafia *Proper punctuation and spelling. P.S :- Lemme get this straight y'all. This is one of many stories that I've made up inside my head to fall asleep. Dedicated especially for the girlies who eat up toxic male lead tropes. It's not that deep. I repeat, it's not. (I hate the ending 😘) Enjoy 😝 There's no way u r still reading this. Pls get into the story. Pls. Oh man I'm so hungry.
