Destined for the unknown

When she finally awakened, a circle of concerned faces surrounded her (her body) —friends and family, all eager for her recovery. Yet something felt amiss. When the prince arrived, Liz gushed, blushed, and her lips pursed as she shyly batted it at the prince. (Liz: Ew...) (???: So, you do like the prince) (Liz: What prince? Who?) As Liz opened her eyes again, a spiders crept through the damp wall. Her luxurious clothes had vanished, replaced by rags, and her hair lay matted and dirty. "A prison cell," she thought. Her voice quivered on the brink of tears, "My luxurious life." (???: About the prince...) "What could he possibly have to complain about?” she snarked. "..." When your world unravels in the most bewildering ways, do you ignore it or seek the truth?

But fate, with its cruel whims, had other plans. One fateful day, Qiao Nian's world came crashing down around her. She was abruptly informed that she was nothing more than a fake千金 (adopted daughter). In an instant, the love and affection that had been hers were snatched away and bestowed upon Lin Yuan. Her once-loving parents turned their backs on her, devoting all their attention to Lin Yuan. Her elder brother, driven by his infatuation for Lin Yuan, heartlessly pushed her down a small building. Even her fiancé, General Xiao, chose to side with Lin Yuan, leaving Qiao Nian alone and betrayed. For the sake of Lin Yuan, they all stood by indifferently as Qiao Nian was unjustly accused. Without a word of protest, they watched as she was punished and sent to the laundry bureau, where she endured three long years of servitude. Those three years were a living hell, filled with hardship, loneliness, and heartbreak. Day after day, night after night, she suffered in silence, her spirit slowly crushed under the weight of their betrayal. But just when it seemed that all hope was lost, a remarkable transformation occurred. Three years later, the tables turned in a most unexpected way. The Hou Ye and his wife, filled with remorse, fell to their knees before Qiao Nian, tears streaming down their faces. "Nian Nian, we were wrong. Please come home with us," they pleaded, their voices choked with regret. The arrogant young master of the Hou Mansion knelt outside her door for an entire night, his pride shattered. "Nian Nian, can you find it in your heart to forgive me?" he begged, his eyes filled with desperation. And General Xiao, the once-untouchable hero, approached her with wounds that bled both physically and emotionally. "Nian Nian, please have pity on me. Look at me one more time," he implored, his voice filled with pain. But Qiao Nian's heart, which had been broken into a million pieces during those three years of torment, was now as cold as ice. The love and trust that had once burned bright within her had been extinguished, replaced by a deep well of bitterness and resentment. "Pity? It would be better if I were dead and my ashes scattered to the wind," she thought, her heart hardened against their pleas. However, Qiao Nian's story didn't end in despair.

This is a story of betrayal and redemption, of heartbreak and hope. It is a tale that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, from the depths of despair to the heights of joy.

Chaos Severing:The Rebirth of Slaughter God /Awakening of the Evil God

For years, he had been haunted by vivid nightmares of a past life—a life filled with bloodshed, power, and betrayal. Little did he know, these dreams were not mere figments of his imagination, but fragments of a forgotten identity. One fateful night, guided by a mysterious voice, Ren discovers a hidden cave behind his village, where he uncovers a pitch-black pearl surrounded by ancient ruins. Upon touching it, his mind is flooded with memories of countless weapon techniques, a cultivation technique called Chaos Severing, and a powerful ability known as Heaven Refining Physics—an ability that allows him to absorb any form of energy and make it his own. But there’s a catch: to unlock its true power, Ren must first reach a certain cultivation threshold. As Ren awakens to the truth of his past life, he learns that he was once a Slaughter God—a being of immense strength, feared and revered across the heavens. In his previous life, he was betrayed by those he loved most, leading to his violent downfall. Now reborn, Ren must navigate a world that’s unaware of his true nature while unlocking the power that lies dormant within him. But as he slowly regains fragments of his past, Ren’s personality begins to shift. The kindness and naivety that once defined him begin to erode as anger and vengeance take root. The betrayal of his lover, Amelia, and the corruption of the heavenly beings awaken a ruthless side of him—one that will stop at nothing to tear down the very heavens that betrayed him. As Ren’s power grows, so does the danger around him. The gods, sensing the return of a being who once threatened their rule, will stop at nothing to destroy him. But Ren is no longer the naive young man he once was—he is the Evil God, and no one is safe from his wrath.
