Show Me The Heart Unfettered By Foolish Dreams

Every dreamy girl wants a Mafia man, but the question is, does the Mafia man want you? Luna Defalco is a woman born into the Mafia life. Her father was in the Mafia, her cousins were in the Mafia, her mother died in the Mafia and now, even the man she loves is the almighty Mafia boss himself. There's just one minor hiccup, Zeno Silvestri, Luna's love interest, sees her as nothing more than a childish little sister. To make matters worse, he remains in love with his dead wife. When a threat on both their lives forces them to abscond to an island owned by Zeno, Luna must take this God-given chance to prove to Zeno that she is no longer that little child he's known all his life and make him fall for her womanly charms by all means. What happens when Zeno's brotherly feelings for Luna begin to shift? Can he accept this shift in affection or will he hold on to his dead lover? *** Excerpt “Zeno, what do you think love is?” Luna asked. Her sudden question made him turn from the grasses he was lazily plucking out of the moist earth, to stare at her. “Not what the dictionary tells us, but to you, what is love?" She wasn't joking, he could see it. Wiping the dirt off his palms, he sat himself next to her on the dried log of wood which she sat on. In and out he breathed like he was sincerely thinking about her question. Then without looking at her, his lips parted and he said, “A mirror.” "A mirror?" She asked. "Yes. A mirror.” He nodded and sighed. “Love is a mirror that reflects the deepest part of a person's soul. A mirror that reflects pain and suffering, but also joy and ecstasy, it's a mirror that reflects the heart just the way it is, naked and helpless. It's a mirror that reflects life, and that mirror is made of frail glass, hold it too tight, and it'll shatter, don't hold it tight enough, and it'll slip right out of your fingers and still shatter, if you try to pick up the broken pieces, you'll hurt yourself, that's why it's never easy to pick up the broken pieces, and neither can you just leave it there and get another mirror. Someone else might get hurt. Either way, love is hurtful." She had asked for his own take on love and he had given her the answer. Now she wanted to be bold. “Zeno, I no longer want to be that little baby girl that you adore.” His head turned as his eyes sought to look at her as though that would help him hear better. “Let me help you. I think if we pick up the broken pieces of the previous mirror together, it'll hurt less. And after we've cleared out the shattered pieces, then… then I want to be your new mirror.”

"Taigong has cast his line for millennia, fishing for the essence of countless souls. Yet she needed but a single glance to capture my heart completely." Heaven and Earth are sundered, the mortal and immortal realms divided. Once every thousand years, Taigong casts down his "Celestial Thread." Cultivators eagerly pursue this thread descending from the heavens, believing it to be the path to ascension, unaware they're stepping into a deadly trap. Sixteen-year-old Wei Lingwei enters Tianyan Sect after her father's passing, where she meets her snow-white-robed, exquisitely beautiful senior sister Mo Qing. In this world where emotions and desires form the foundation of cultivation, Lingwei gradually discovers that whenever those deep, unfathomable eyes look her way, ripples spread through her heart, never to be calmed again. Yet the threads of fate have long been intertwined. As the third Celestial Thread prepares to descend and both realms face imminent upheaval, Lingwei must confront her growing feelings amid bewildering truths. On this deceptive and treacherous path of immortal cultivation, only the pure and fervent emotion between them can illuminate the way toward truth. Taigong fishes for countless lives, while she fishes for just one heart. Seven emotions to cultivate, six desires to master—defy heaven's decree, only love endures eternally.

When a cursed mask drags him into the Yokai Realm, he discovers a nightmare lurking beneath reality. Here, the dead rise as vengeful Phantoms, and the only way to survive is to steal their foxfire—or be consumed by it. But power comes with a price. The more Cloud fights, the more he feels something lurking beneath his skin... watching, waiting, ready to claim him. In a world where dreams are shattered and the past refuses to die, can Cloud carve a new path, or will he become the very monster he swore to fight?

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Everything in this story has a purpose, and every detail has an explanation, i.e. nothing is explained with 'it works cause it works'.

Synopsis: This is the story of a young man who was reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially sparked by questioning his own reincarnation, he quickly gets lost in the endless world of magic, using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana. However, soon enough, the table would flip, and he would begin using that very same energy to expand his knowledge of science, to the point that he would begin questioning his own understanding of the world. Although not his original intention, with the combination of his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the 'miracles' that occurred to allow for his existence, he quickly found himself climbing the mountain of strength as if it were a small hill before eventually climbing to a point where it seemed as if he himself was the peak itself.
