Bridge Noodles

To Love a Crowned Enemy

A woman from Hull was never meant to wear a crown. And yet, today, they would place one on her head. Verona Falkenrath has spent her life among the wild forests and untamed lands of Hull, a province scorned by the noble courts of Praylor. To them, she and her people are nothing more than barbarians. Useful for their resources but unworthy of standing among kings. When she is forced into an arranged marriage with Prince Lucian Velthorne, Verona knows what is expected of her: be silent, be obedient, and be grateful. But Verona has never known how to kneel. Lucian never wanted a wife, especially not one from Hull. Cold, calculating, and bred for power, he sees their union as nothing more than a political necessity. She is a means to an end, a bridge to keep Hull under Praylor’s control. But from the moment Verona enters his court, she defies him at every turn. Fierce, untamed, and impossible to ignore. Yet behind the whispers of their unlikely marriage, something far more dangerous is brewing. A neighboring country has begun sowing rebellion in Hull’s shadows, promising freedom from Praylor’s rule. When Verona uncovers the plot, she faces an impossible choice: stay loyal to her homeland, or betray those who would see it burn. But Lucian has his own doubts. When the rebellion reaches its peak, can he truly trust the woman he once swore was his enemy? Bound by duty, divided by war, and drawn together by something neither of them expected, Verona and Lucian must decide. Is their marriage just another political game, or the beginning of a love that could reshape kingdoms?

Resonance of Realms

Kai Nakamura is a directionless twenty-something, trapped in the monotony of a convenience store job and a life of unfulfilled potential. Everything changes when he is suddenly transported from a mundane night shift in Tokyo to a bizarre, multidimensional landscape with two moons and impossible creatures. Discovered by Lyra, a mysterious woman with living circuit-tattoos, and accompanied by a six-eyed creature that defies biological understanding, Kai learns he is far more than an ordinary human. He is a "bridge" - a critical point of connection between multiple realities that are becoming dangerously unstable. The multiverse is experiencing a systemic breakdown. Boundaries between different layers of reality are becoming permeable, causing dangerous "immune responses" from entities called Null Fragments, which attempt to violently seal these breaches. Kai's unique potential makes him crucial to understanding and potentially stabilizing these fracturing realities. Driven by memories of his dying mother's belief in his unexplored potential, Kai begins an extraordinary transformation. His training with Lyra reveals abilities that go beyond normal human perception - he can interact with reality's fundamental systems, interrupting and redirecting complex multidimensional processes. As Kai learns to navigate this new existence, he discovers that his role is not just about survival, but about preventing a catastrophic collapse of interconnected realities. His journey is a profound exploration of personal growth, systemic change, and the nature of consciousness itself.

Mr. Feng Shui's Folk Anecdotes

Set against the tumultuous backdrop of China's Republican Era (1912-1949), this novel chronicles the uncanny adventures of Li Beidou, a feng shui master born under a portentous celestial alignment. His birth coincided with the winter solstice—a liminal moment of cosmic transition between Yin and Yang—marked by an omen: every black dog in the village went mad, hurling themselves to their deaths beneath the ancient huai tree at the village entrance. Hailing from a lineage of funeral attire shopkeepers who clothed the dead, Beidou's destiny shifted during a feverish delirium when he encountered the Yin-Inquiring Matriarch, a spectral figure who inducted him into the shadowed arts bridging the mortal realm and the afterlife. The narrative weaves through encounters with Yin Arts—esoteric rituals to commune with spirits—and the perilous Nine Yin Techniques, a forbidden corpus of necromantic lore. Each chapter unravels bizarre phenomena: sentient funeral paper effigies, geomantic curses haunting ancestral tombs, and markets where the dead barter with spirit coins. Blending historical verisimilitude with supernatural intrigue, the story illuminates the clandestine world of Yin-Yang practitioners—custodians of cosmic balance—through Beidou's trials. From exorcising poltergeists in Shanghai's jazz-age parlors to decoding cryptic feng shui patterns in war-torn villages, his journey reveals how the veil between worlds grows thin in times of human strife.
