Your Childhood Is Ruined

Dalam kehidupan sebelumnya, Cen Yuan adalah Leader sebuah boy band papan atas. Dia malas dan tidak disiplin, dan ahli dalam menangani segala jenis ketidakpuasan. Namun, setelah kecelakaan mobil... dia bereinkarnasi sebagai ayah tiri dari keluarga kaya. Ia lemah dan terengah-engah setelah setiap langkah, sementara anak tirinya adalah seorang anak laki-laki berusia tiga tahun yang nakal. Cen Yuan menutup mulutnya dan terbatuk dua kali, alisnya sedikit terangkat: Anak nakal? Bukan berarti kau tidak bisa menggunakannya untuk bersenang-senang. Tidak lama setelah itu, Cen Yuan, yang masuk daftar hitam oleh seluruh Internet, dan anak tiri angkatnya secara resmi mengumumkan acara varietas orangtua-anak. Semua orang mengejeknya tanpa ampun, menunggu untuk melihat leluconnya. Pertunjukan itu resmi mulai difilmkan, dan gaya Cen Yuan benar-benar berbeda dari orang tua lainnya. Orangtua lainnya bangun pagi setiap hari untuk menyiapkan sarapan penuh kasih sayang untuk anak-anaknya. Cen Yuan tidur sampai pukul sepuluh pagi dan kemudian melanjutkan tidur siangnya, sangat menikmatinya. Anak tirinya merasa dirugikan. Ia hanya bisa berdiri berjinjit dan merentangkan lengannya yang pendek untuk mengambil susu dan roti. Di depan kamera, dia harus menelan harga dirinya dan memberikan sebagian kepada Cen Yuan yang sedang berbaring di tempat tidur. Ketika anak tirinya tergeletak di tanah, meludah dan berguling-guling, Cen Yuan tidak hanya berhenti berusaha menghiburnya, tetapi juga dengan santai mengeluarkan ponselnya dan mulai mengambil video, bersiap untuk mempostingnya di WeChat Moments. Anak tirinya tiba-tiba merasa malu dan hanya bisa bangkit dari tanah dengan patuh. Saat sedang makan, si anak tiri mulai menangis dan mengancam Cen Yuan bahwa dia tidak akan makan lagi. Dia menunggu Cen Yuan membujuk dan memberinya makan. Akibatnya, Cen Yuan tidak memberinya wajah apa pun dan tertawa terbahak-bahak: ”Apakah ada hal yang begitu baik?” Setelah itu, dia membawa sendiri porsi makanan anak tirinya. Anak tirinya tercengang. Melihat sisa makanan hampir habis dimakan Cen Yuan, Xiao Jiujio dengan ragu bergerak ke arah Cen Yuan: ”Ayah Kecil, bolehkah aku memilih lagi?” Tak lama kemudian ayah dan anak itu keluar dari lingkaran dengan kecepatan yang tak terduga. Sikap netizen pun berubah 180 derajat. 【Sudah berakhir. Tampaknya aku telah berubah dari pembenci menjadi penggemar Cen Yuan. Seperti apa sih cara unik membesarkan anak ini?】 【Hahaha, ini pertama kalinya kau menjadi anak-anak, dan ini pertama kalinya aku menjadi ayah, jadi mengapa aku harus menyerah padamu? 】 【Jalani jalan anak itu dan jangan biarkan dia punya jalan keluar! 】 Ketika He Ting pulang ke rumah dari perjalanan bisnis, dia pikir dia akan melihat pemandangan yang kacau, tetapi tanpa diduga pemandangannya cukup harmonis. Cen Yuan mengambil kue kecil dan berbohong kepada putranya bahwa kue itu pedas dan anak-anak tidak bisa memakannya. Lalu dia memasukkannya ke dalam mulutnya sendiri. He Mumu tidak menangis dan rewel seperti sebelumnya. Sebaliknya, dia berlari ke He Ting dan berbisik, ”Ayah kecil sangat bodoh sampai-sampai dia tidak tahu kalau kue itu manis. Kita tidak punya pilihan selain menurutinya.” Pandangan mata He Ting dalam dan dia tidak berkomentar. Kemudian, Tuan He akhirnya mengerti di mana titik lemah seseorang. 1. Anak tersebut bukan anak kandung Gong. 2. Anak singa merupakan anak yang nakal pada tahap awal, namun menjadi manja pada tahap selanjutnya. ------SELAMAT MEMBACA------

Heaven-Defying Asura Li Shen is nothing more than a slave, despised and broken, a mere handyman in the prestigious Azure Cloud Sect. Unknown to all, he carries the cursed blood of the annihilated Heaven Destruction Clan, a lineage whose three patriarchs once dared to defy Heaven's Will. This forbidden heritage manifests as the Heaven Asura Destruction Body, a dormant power that renders him seemingly talentless in Qi Cultivation, constantly suppressed by the very essence of the world. His only path to power, and to full awakening, lies in the brutal consumption of demon-corrupted cultivators, whose blood feeds his unique constitution. When his former masters, the Blackwood Noble Clan, are decimated by a savage raid of these demon-corrupted forces, Li Shen, in a desperate struggle for survival, slays his first corrupted foe. This act triggers the faint stirrings of his terrifying potential, pushing him from victim to survivor. Rescued by the Azure Cloud Sect, he endures the scorn of the Handyman Elder Guo and the cosmic hindrance of Heaven Suppression, secretly honing his Blade Cultivation – the only path where his innate talent can flourish. His desperate goals are clear: achieve power for survival, exact revenge for his clan's downfall, gain recognition in a world that despises him, and, most crucially, procreate to ensure the continuation of his unique, heaven-defying bloodline. Li Shen's opportunity arises when he heroically saves the Grand Elder of the Outer Court, elevating him to an Outer Disciple and granting him access to the crucial "demon cleansing missions." Through these perilous missions, he ruthlessly hunts and absorbs the blood of countless demon-corrupted cultivators, rapidly awakening his Heaven Asura Destruction Body. His cultivation explodes, allowing him to easily comprehend Dao and identify the flaws in any technique, making him an unstoppable force. His ascent, however, is not without cost. Forced to flee the ruins of his temporary home, Li Shen finds himself thrust into the chaotic expanse of the Immortal Realm, where the true scale of the cosmic conflict is revealed. Here, he discovers the existence of the Heaven Will Judgment Clan, the enforcers of Heaven's dictates, who were directly responsible for the annihilation of his ancestors and now seek to finish off his bloodline. He also finds himself embroiled in a grand struggle against a powerful Demon Sovereign, whose influence spans realms and whose forces represent the very beings Li Shen has been consuming. His journey becomes a furious quest to not only survive and exact revenge on his oppressors but to challenge the very fabric of cosmic law. He cultivates beyond the known limits, pushing his Heaven Asura Destruction Body to its peak, defying all odds. In a climactic, realm-shattering confrontation, Li Shen, alongside his descendants – born from his desperate drive to procreate and imbued with his unique heritage – wages war against the Heaven Will Judgment Clan and clashes with the Demon Sovereign. In the end, Li Shen and his burgeoning Heaven Asura Destruction Clan triumph. The Heaven Will Judgment Clan is utterly annihilated, their reign ended, and the oppressive grasp of Heaven's Will is shattered. The world, no longer bound by cosmic tyranny, shifts, and a new era dawns, one where the Heaven Asura Destruction Clan reigns supreme, its legacy forged in blood, defiance, and the ultimate triumph over fate.

Cole Smith sat alone in his apartment. Relishing in his own sorrow. As he looked at the rankings of the MMO he had dedicated his entire life into playing. Although his entire life was only a sorrowful 23 years of age. It still meant a lot to him. He had spent 5 years playing the MMO ‘Arcadia’ a game built off the Arcadian engine, an incredible generation that formed an entire world through lines of code in mere weeks. And the world was manipulated as players advanced through it. Cole was a beta tester. Who had obtained a meek Paladin class. The Arcadian engine even had unique classes for every player. But Cole’s was probably the weakest in the game. Even as a tank. Yet he still fought. He made his way to the top ranks, even standing at number 1 for a time. Only to be struck down by a new age of battle mages, classes that were practically one man armies, who quickly flooded the ranks. Once the leaderboards changed, he wasn’t even in the top 10 anymore, and he received an email from the company that made Arcadia. Asking him if he wanted a second chance…only to wake up inside of the world of the game the next day.

Kang Jo-hoon is a broke, jobless Korean man with a degree in politics and economics—and a lot of bitterness. After rage-posting a sarcastic review on a low-rated fantasy novel called The Demon King’s Tea Time, he wakes up inside its crumbling world. Now stuck in a ruined kingdom with no powers, no allies, and a "family" that’s barely surviving, Jo-hoon or rather, Kairon, must use his brain instead of brawn to stay alive. His “father” is a former noble stripped of status, his “sister” is too kind for this world, oh and let's not talk about the "mother" and the once-great capital is now a ghost town haunted by debt, monsters, and betrayal. Armed with only his modern knowledge, sharp tongue, and twisted sense of humor, Jo-hoon takes on the impossible: rebuild the fallen house, outwit nobles and demons, and maybe—just maybe—turn this tragic fantasy into his own empire. A bad story can always be rewritten.

He awakens in the fragile body of a starving child, deep within a landscape of ruin city, monsters, and silence. With no memory of who he was or why he’s here, only one instinct remains—survive. The world is broken. The sky is dim. The beasts that roam the shattered cities are not just deadly—they are unnatural. Fire must be stolen. Food must be hunted. And death is always close, even in sleep. But even at the edge of despair, he refuses to fall. As he battles hunger, loneliness, and impossible odds, the will to live burns stronger than ever. What lies beyond the ruin? Who was he before? And why… was he thrown here? This is a story of raw survival, of a boy with a man’s mind in a world without mercy. A journey that begins not with power, but with pain.

But when Kael rejects his inheritance, he unknowingly sets off a chain of events that will force him to confront the truth about his family, the war, and the system they all serve.

But that all ended when he was betrayed by his own people and beheaded by his archrival.

Spies die in silence. Saints burn in light. Era might do both. After a lifetime of covert operations and moral compromises, Era hoped to spend her exile in quiet prayer at an English monastery. But when a corpse levitates during evening vespers and the sweet old nuns start collecting its blood like holy wine, she realises she’s stepped into something far older and far worse than sin. Soon, she’s in the custody of H.V.N, a shadowed agency that doesn’t serve any country, but answers directly to the gods. Plural. And they’re not happy. Because Era wasn’t meant to get involved. Now, she has two choices: execution… or servitude. Her only option is to survive the God's trials, prove herself useful, and perhaps earn a place in a pantheon-bound war where saints are spies and magic comes with contracts. But Era’s never played by anyone’s rules-least of all gods with agendas. And the deeper she falls into their tangled world of relics, prophecy, and judgment, the more she begins to suspect this wasn’t an accident at all. Maybe Era was never just an unlucky witness. Maybe she was the trigger.

You want to hurt him? Date His Father. He bullies you and makes you think that you're crazy? Date His father. He tells you that he's in love with you but then changes his mind? DATE HIS FATHER!!
