Christmas After All

He was once the most revered Celestial Master in the immortal realm — exorcising demons, commanding respect, and bearing the heavy weight of a sect leader. But betrayal threw him into a sacrificial array, his body shattered as he sealed the Gate of Infernal Flames with his own soul. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange yet vibrant modern world — brimming with spiritual energy and dazzling technology. No one here knew his name, no one here demanded his strength. Finally, he could shed his cold, stern façade and just be… himself: a little vain, a little quirky, and secretly longing for warmth. But then came him. Leander Ashcroft — silver-haired, silver-eyed, graceful and dangerous all at once. The young and powerful head of the Ashcroft family, who wore a gentle smile yet ruled his world with ruthless precision. And from the moment their eyes met, he caged him in a tender yet unrelenting embrace. “Mr. Han… I can be very patient with you.” “You don’t have to run anymore. You don’t have to fight alone. This time, let me protect you.” What began as a wary partnership slowly turned into something deeper, sweeter — a love that disarmed his guarded heart. Even as darkness stirred again and greedy eyes coveted his blood and power, only one man stood steadfast by his side. “The world may want your strength and your life. But the only thing I want… is you.”

Initially, the four elder brothers of the affluent Sang family disapproved of everything about their biological sister, their hearts and eyes solely focused on their foster sister. The eldest brother said, 'Stop embarrassing yourself with your acting, just retire from the industry.' The second brother remarked, 'Your life is less significant than Jiaojiao's movie premiere.' The third brother declared, 'Didn't buy you a gift, you are an outsider after all.' The fourth brother insisted, 'Don't come to my game, Jiaojiao will be there.' - After repeated disappointments, Sang Qiao carried her bag and left, not only setting up her own company to make money but also participating in a dating show with her ex-fiance as her partner. Just when she finished the show diligently, thinking she could gracefully retire from it, she suddenly felt a pair of large hands encircling her waist, and a man's voice murmured deeply: 'Where do you think you're going, naughty girl? Were you just leading me on this whole time? Hmm?' Sang Qiao: '!' I was taking the dating show seriously, and you actually fell in love???' From then on, she gained a powerful supporter, reaping the rewards of both a flourishing career and a love life. However, the four brothers, betrayed by their foster sister and realizing how wrong they were in their treatment of Sang Qiao, deeply regretted their past actions, attempting every means to reconcile. Facing the eldest brother she said: 'Stop squatting at my doorstep begging, you're affecting the city's appearance.' To the second brother she said: 'You've only lost a leg, if I take care of you, I'd be losing five million!' Confronting the third brother: 'Keep dumping trash at my doorstep and watch how unpleasant I can be.' And to the fourth brother: 'Tomorrow I'm going to visit a friend's dog, so I have no time for your competition.'

AFTER MARRIAGE Some love stories begin with a kiss. Theirs began with a contract. Sita is calm, reserved, and orderly — the kind of person who finds solace in silence. Vedehi is chaos wrapped in charm — loud, lively, and allergic to stillness. They have nothing in common… except heartbreak, family pressure, and a desperate need to escape. When both women land in England hoping to find love, all they find is disappointment — and each other. One impulsive proposal later, they're bound by a two-year contract marriage: no love, no drama, just a fake relationship to get their families off their backs. But fate has other plans. Sita is still searching for a woman from her past — someone who once held her heart. Vedehi, in helping her find that lost love, quietly falls for the very person she's supposed to be pretending with. Just when feelings start to blur and the contract begins to crumble, tragedy strikes. A sudden accident leaves Sita with no memory — not of the contract, not of the marriage, not even of Vedehi. Now Vedehi is left holding onto a love that only she remembers… And a wife who no longer knows her. Will Sita ever recall what they had? Will Vedehi’s love be enough to rebuild what fate tore apart? Or will their story remain a forgotten promise, lost between silence and memory? "After Marriage" is a breathtaking sapphic romance of opposites, survival, heartbreak, and healing. It’s about falling in love with someone who forgot you — and choosing them, even when they can't choose you back. Because sometimes, the most unforgettable love stories… Are the ones that begin after marriage. Dear Reader, “After Marriage” is more than just a love story — it’s a journey through silence, chaos, heartbreak, and healing. I promise you a story that will make you laugh when you least expect it and cry when you don’t want to. I promise you characters who are beautifully flawed, frustratingly human, and deeply real. I promise tension, misunderstandings, soft moments, and fierce ones — all stitched together with raw emotion and quiet hope. This isn’t a perfect romance.

But when it finally finds them, it stays. So, as you turn each page, I hope you feel every heartbeat, every fight, every smile, and every scar. And above all, I promise — by the end of this story, you’ll believe that real love… never truly forgets. With all my heart, — The Author

Colin's body was ripped in half from the waist up, his intestines gushing out like disgusting pink ropes. The rest of the body was thrown into the air-against the cave wall-and hung bleeding like meat that the butcher failed to hang. Her scream was incomplete. Only the sound of "Agh-GUUHHKKKK!!" turned into a torrent of blood. The creature stepped forward, tearing into its next victim again, its voice now turning into a foul mutter full of rage, like living flesh laughing and crying at the same time. "HHHHUHUHHHH... HRRRRRGHGGGHH... NNNNRRRRRRAUUUK HHH-!!!"

She even learned how to operate an excavator from the Red Xiang Technical School! In July, a double typhoon that caused seawater backflow starting from Japan marked the beginning of the apocalypse.
