The Bastard’s Inferno

In the fractured kingdom of Veridion, where thrones are built on lies and loyalty is measured in blood, Kael Varynth—the unacknowledged bastard son of a crumbling noble house—carves his path through a world of smoke and shadow. Denied his birthright and raised in the gutters of Eldervale, Kael masters the art of survival: seduction, subterfuge, and the cold calculus of power. But when his legitimate half-brother dies under mysterious circumstances, Kael seizes the chaos to claw his way into the viper’s nest of Veridion’s aristocracy. The Hollow King rots on his obsidian throne, and three factions vie to control the dying realm: The Dawn Pact, zealots who preach purity while hoarding secrets. The Shadow Magnates, merchant lords who trade gold for souls. The Bloodsworn, fanatics resurrecting an ancient prophecy of “purifying flame.” Kael plays all sides, exploiting their greed and dogma. He manipulates his drunken father, Lord Cedran, into becoming a pawn; seduces Mira, a razor-tongued tavern wench with ties to rival House Kaelthar; and bargains with Seraphine, a Dawn Pact operative whose faith masks a thirst for vengeance. But his greatest weapon is his mind—a talent for turning enemies against one another, leaving them to bleed out while he claims their spoils. When Kael uncovers a plot to control the Iron Pass, the kingdom’s lifeline of trade and secrets, he ignites a proxy war between the Bloodsworn and House Kaelthar. Yet shadows from his past resurface: a hooded woman with a dagger’s smile, a childhood scar that burns in the presence of flame, and whispers that the Bloodsworn’s new prophet knows his true name. As alliances fracture and cities burn, Kael must decide whether to crown himself king of the ashes or be consumed by the inferno he’s unleashed. But in Veridion, trust is a currency no one can afford—not even the Bastard of Varynth. Themes: Ambition vs. Identity, The Corruption of Power, The Cost of Survival Tone: Gritty, suspenseful, morally gray, with visceral political machinations and simmering tension. Series Arc: A sprawling saga of betrayal, war, and twisted desire, where every victory demands a sacrifice, and the line between hero and villain is written in ash. Let me know if you’d like to adjust the tone, focus, or key plot points!

The Lucky Farm Girl

After dying unexpectedly, she was reborn as a ten-year-old little girl in an ancient farming family, with barely a few rooms in her house and even fewer acres of land, not to mention a household of the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Fortunately, the elders in the family were kind and honest, her brothers loving and good-natured, and the neighbors harmonious and friendly. For Yang Mengchen, who had suffered from her relatives' torment and endured all sorts of mockery and scolding since she was young, this was truly a blessing from heaven. To support the family she loved, she resolutely took on the heavy responsibility of providing for them. If she, a modern corporate CEO who had once dominated the business world, couldn't feed a family, then who could? Pharmaceutical recipes, building greenhouses, opening storefronts... Not only did her family start living a comfortable and prosperous life, but she also led the surrounding villages in creating a magnificent pastoral scene! With money and fame, as she grew up, Yang Mengchen decided it was time to choose a husband, and thus, young talents from around the world began to flock to her. Who knew a grim-faced god of death would be blocking the entrance to the Yang family's home? "You're too tall, you're too short, you're too fat, you're too skinny, you're too dark, you're too pale, you're uneducated, you're deceitful and sly... All eliminated!" In a moment, the entrance was empty, and Yang Mengchen was instantly furious, "Prince, you've driven everyone away. How am I supposed to choose a husband now?" "I would like to see who dares to marry you. I wouldn't mind sending him to the Underworld as a groom!" Yang Mengchen... A certain Prince counted his merits on his fingers: "I have power, prestige, and substance, no concubines, no secret love affairs, no gallivanting— I embody the standards of a husband's three obediences and four virtues... In short, only I, this unparalleled good man, am worthy of you!" The guards: Oh wise and valiant Prince, is it really good to be so lacking in your role as a husband?
