Zen enters the forsaken forest to hunt a monster for its core, hoping to save his struggling town. With the help of a mysterious figure, he secures the core—but its secret could bring either salvation or doom. When the Knights come hunting, Zen is forced to flee, leaving everything behind. Now, in his pursuit of freedom, he must face the empire’s enforcers, unravel dark conspiracies, and fight for the survival of his people.

The wheel of fate has begun to turn—the final battle between light and the Abyss is about to unfold. On the Astral Continent, every soul’s destiny is written by the stars, and the Twenty-Eight Star Guardians uphold the balance of the heavens and earth. Yet now, darkness encroaches upon this land—the Legion of Dusk has risen. They worship the power of the Abyss, hunting down the Star Guardians in a relentless bid to overturn the order of the world. Adrian Jiao—heir to the Azure Dragon Constellation, once the pride of his family. But in a single night, his home was reduced to ashes, his kin slaughtered, and his once-beloved elder brother, Calem, succumbed to the Abyss, becoming the commander of the Legion. Forced into exile, Adrian was left with nothing but grief, rage, and a thirst for vengeance. Yet when the chains of fate shattered, his dormant bloodline awakened—the Jiao Spear emerged, and the power of the Azure Dragon was reborn! However, vengeance is only the beginning. The world is far more treacherous than he ever imagined. The Legion of Dusk’s sinister plot—a scheme that threatens the very stars. The betrayal of the Fallen Stars—a deception hidden between light and shadow. The gathering of the Four Guardian Beasts—a legacy buried in history. The loosening of the Abyssal Gate—a lock that binds another world. Destiny is not absolute—it can be defied. When the Azure Dragon Spear is unleashed, the very heavens shall tremble! Yet when the truth is unveiled, Adrian will come to realize—light and darkness were never truly opposed. The fate of the stars had been bound to the Abyss all along. Light is not always pure. Darkness is not the end. As the Azure Dragon Spear is raised once more, he will forge his own path and reshape this shattered world.

[Zweigesichtiger, langweiliger, reicher männlicher Hauptdarsteller vs. tief verborgene, schöne weibliche Hauptdarstellerin] Qin Ran ist auf dem Lande aufgewachsen. Im dritten Jahr der Highschool verschwindet sie und wird für ein Jahr suspendiert. Ein Jahr später wird sie von ihrer Mutter nach Yun Cheng gebracht, um die Erste Mittelschule zu besuchen. Ihre Mutter sagt ihr: "Dein Stiefvater stammt aus einer angesehenen Familie, dein Bruder ist ein Genie und deine jüngere Schwester ist eine Spitzenschülerin. Sei ihnen nicht peinlich." Jeder, der in Peking etwas auf sich hält, erhält eine Warnung von Meister Juan aus der Familie Cheng: Meister Juans Frau kommt vom Lande und weiß nicht, wie man Kontakte knüpft... Sie ist auch sehr launisch, also sei bitte tolerant ihr gegenüber. Eines Tages, als Meister Juan gegen ein gewisses hohes Tier ermittelt, starrt sein Untergebener auf die Sockenpuppe - eine Online-Identität, die er versehentlich zu Täuschungszwecken benutzt hatte. Sie stammt von der Frau, die angeblich nichts weiß... Er verfällt in Schweigen. Die beiden Bonzen haben ihre Sockenpuppen wahrscheinlich voreinander versteckt, um dem anderen nicht das Gefühl zu geben, minderwertig zu sein.

Sobald sie ihre Augen öffnete, fand sich Bai Lian im Körper einer berüchtigten und verwöhnten jungen Dame wieder. Sie hörte, dass ihr Vater ein neuer, aufstrebender Stern in Beicheng war, ein Selfmademan mit einem weitreichenden Ruf; Ihr älterer unehelicher Bruder war ein Genie, das die städtischen Prüfungen bestanden hatte und auf die Jiangjing-Universität ging; Die jüngere uneheliche Schwester aus der benachbarten internationalen Klasse war eine vielseitig begabte Schulschönheit, sanft und gut erzogen; Ihr Verlobter war ein Goldjunge der Finanzwelt, ein Schulidol, der sie nie richtig angeschaut hatte... Und sie war nur eine unscheinbare Person mit geringer Intelligenz, eine gewöhnliche Person, die von Anfang an aus dem Haus geworfen wurde. Bai Lian: Na schön, dann muss sie eben fleißig lernen und sich bemühen, ein normaler Mensch zu werden~ Alle (mit einem geheimnisvollen Lächeln im Gesicht): ...bist du dir da sicher?? Die junge Dame, die nach Xiangcheng geschickt wurde, ohne Hintergrund, unwissend und ungelernt, jeder könnte auf ihr herumtrampeln... aber sie können sie nicht bewegen... (Eine einzigartig atemberaubende, faule und kapriziöse weibliche Hauptfigur, die jeden vernichtet, der ihr in die Quere kommt, gegen einen edlen, coolen und dominanten männlichen Protagonisten mit einem IQ, der alle Anwesenden zerquetscht) PS: Sowohl die männliche als auch die weibliche Hauptfigur sind sehr charmant.

a calamity once shook the earth and made it seem like extinction of all was certain however amidst the ashes of destruction the earth sudden awakened a latent power which seeped out from its core, transforming the earth and it's inhabitants and granting humans miraculous powers called ABILITIES which were powered by the energy which humans had evolved to harness. plants and animals on the other hand continuously evolved into terrifying beasts with slight semblance to their weaker predecessors. Now, over 3000 years later a mysterious young boy surrounded by strange circumstances,a past shrouded in mystery , and an unusual aura surrounding him finds himself with a mysterious system and in the prestigious sentinel military academy now with a new unknown ally in the form of the system Zen is on a mission for so much more than he knows. will he succeed? especially with literal and figurative ghosts from his past coming back to haunt them and pieces of their mysterious past coming to haunt him? ( wait did i say "them" and "their"? oops spoilers!) [important message] okay so the novel starts out a bit slow with little to no action scenes and more about providing info on the world and the MC Also,truth is i was confused about what to put as a warning notice or whether to put one at all because although the novel might contain some salty language there's really nothing too extreme. also I'd like to guarantee that there are no smut scenes. there might be some times when it almost happens or it did and I might not just go into it in detail or skip it altogether. plus there might be some times with extreme gore and torture both physical and psychological (mostly psychological) especially considering I want who as far as you know is the MC and most characters surrounding him to be as heartless as possible , and I want it to be clear that the MC is by no means a good person and won't hesitate to do some morally questionable stuff to achieve his goals,although not without reason. one last thing is that at first it might seem like I'm trying to make him powerful from the start for no reason but it's mostly due to specific circumstances. okay bye!

The longer I'm around her the stronger my feelings get for her. I'm so lucky to have her in my life. The red lights of the sky cast upon her face and the waters glitter all around her as her laughter peals through the air; she innocently splashes water at me. I have no clue if she knows we've been engaged since birth but regardless, I want her to choose me out of love. Not because we are betrothed to each other. It started getting dark out and the red sky started turning a deep purple. I don't know what compelled me to ask her why Fang was mad at her for but I needed to know. The moment she told me that they were gonna be like her mommy and daddy I felt my blood boil. I feel bad that I lost my temper but I never want to be mad at her so the only thing I could think of was to hold her. She's my happy place. I can feel her pull back a bit and gulp but I still keep my eyes closed. If I open them...I might just kiss her.

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please… let me go,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper. Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But the white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

The realm of Lusara is a land of splendor and strife, where towering kingdoms rise above fertile lands, and shadowed secrets dwell within the hearts of the powerful. The empire is upheld by a delicate balance: a sovereign monarch presiding over lesser lords, and beneath them, the two dominant Houses—House Avernal and House Crimsonvale. These Houses are the empire’s shield and dagger, bound by duty yet divided by enmity. Known as the "Houses of the Devil," their reputations stem from the lords who rule them—individuals whose power, ambition, and ruthlessness have made them both revered and feared. Each House serves the empire in its own way: House Avernal safeguards the northern frontiers, a land of unyielding mountains and winter's breath, while House Crimsonvale governs the southern expanses, a place of blazing sands and endless sunsets. Though their territories form the empire’s spine, their hostility toward each other threatens to tear it apart. In a time of rising tensions, their paths converge not on the battlefield but at the edge of the empire, where an abandoned orphanage crumbles in solitude. There, among overgrown flowers and whispered memories, lives a girl who calls herself a flower. This meeting will set the threads of destiny spinning, entwining love, hatred, and the bittersweet fragility of life.
