Miss Ruby Grey

In a world where science intertwines with the arcane, where the surreal merges with the factual, and where the physical and metaphysical unite against a shared and overwhelming threat, humanity stands on the brink. This threat—the "Outers"—can manifest anywhere: outside the home of a lonely man clinging to hope with desperate words, "I cannot be taken yet, for hope has not deserted me!" Or in the serene depths of nature, where those who seek salvation from the "Mother of Roots" discover too late that even her protection cannot save them. Whether humble or extraordinary, all crumble beneath the unstoppable presence of the Outers when they walk the earth. Step into the world of Alter-Grey, where mysteries defy comprehension and knowledge so raw and pure can unravel the very fabric of reality. Here, curiosity is both a gift and a curse—not only enough to "kill the cat" but to unmake everything it touches. So, I ask you: are you bold enough to face the Outers? Are you someone strange to the ways of man, or are you bound by the mundane? In the end, it may not matter—because once you step into this world, nothing will ever be the same.

"I want you to get married, Michael. I want you to find a suitable bride and settle down, and I want it done within the next 24 hours.” He is in search of a bride. He wants her in 24 hours. He could lose all he has if he doesn't. “You are crazy, this is just an act for the movie, 'Marry Me, Miss’.” She is a washed up actress. She has too many problems in her life. But she didn't expect to be married again. When Micheal Alista got an ultimatum to get married in 24 hours or lose all he had, he knew the only way to make that happen was to either kidnap a bride or force a bride to marry him. And this didn't sit right well with Alaina Green, especially after she realises she was going to have a baby for a man she totally loathes.

Transmigrated into a novel she dropped was never on Qi Jianyi’s bucket list. She could still remember how she deleted the novel on her phone after reading the first 30 chapters of the book.  “A book full of bullshit.” She cursed before going to sleep.  Never in a million years would she have thought that one day, she would be pulled into a novel she hated. All Qi Jianyi could think of was trying to look for a way home while ignoring the plot of the novel.  But where does she start? No, does she really have the time to think about it after the appearance of an annoying man who keeps pestering her?  Qi Jianyi could not forget her first impression of that man. He was as cold as ice, but had a fiery temperament. Those beautiful eyes of his had once captured Qi Jianyi’s attention.  But the young miss of the Qi family was too busy looking for a way home. How could she have the time and energy to care about a certain young master?  However, Song Chengfeng would not stop appearing before her. He didn’t know why either. For the first time in his entire life, his mind and body were not in sync.  “Why bother with her?” He whispered coldly, yet his legs already walked towards the woman who was enjoying her life.  “Because I love you, Qi Jianyi! I didn’t even know I was capable of feeling this way, but I do. I love you! I love you so much that the thought of losing you terrifies me. It suffocates me. And yet… you’re not even mine.” - Song Chengfeng "Loving me only ruins you. So stop!" - Qi Jianyi

Nature never imposes love; it offers it gently, much like a fragile rose unfurling its petals in the morning light. ***** When Sydney's eyes locked with Jordan's, her heart danced a frantic rhythm, and words seemed to dissolve before they could leave her lips.

Yet, Jordan's presence was a gentle tremor, unsettling the core of her being and awakening a yearning she had never acknowledged. There was an undeniable uniqueness about Jordan. He was the calm amid chaos, a sanctuary where she could truly be herself and confront her demons. As she opened her eyes, her hand still quivering, their gazes intertwined once more. His silver eyes radiated an ethereal intensity, brimming with concern and tenderness. "Are you okay?" he inquired, his voice a soothing balm, like a gentle stream winding through a verdant glen. In that instant, Sydney felt her defenses beginning to crumble, her fears slowly unwinding. Could Jordan be the one to ignite her heart, to reveal that love was not a vulnerability, but a formidable force capable of moving mountains and breaking the chains of her deepest insecurities?

The blocked meridians, the weak energy channels, this body was truly terrible. As she continued downward, she arrived at the Dantian, "Eh? What is this?" What should have been an empty Dantian was floating with a... uh, an egg? "Why is it an egg? Could my body have turned into a hen? Does it have to be this fantastical!" "I am not an egg, you're the egg! Your whole family are eggs!" Just as Dugu Qianye was conflicted between the egg and the hen, a childish voice arose in her mind. "Eh? The egg can talk?"

Mo Ziqing tapped Dan Jingtian's head, "Remove the city and town and read it again." "Zixu, Wuyou, Dot, Mud Pill, ugh, it's all nonsense to trick you! No way, brother, are you playing me?" Snippet Three: "Hey, that woman punched a hole in the sky." Ci Hun appeared in front of Zi Xiao and said wickedly. "Oh?" Zi Xiao looked up at him indifferently and said, "Just a hole in the sky. Go, find someone to fix that hole." "That woman also ripped a hole in that man’s pants, right on the butt." Ci Hun continued. "What?" The man, who had been casual just a moment ago, jumped to his feet, his bewitching face filled with rage, "A hole in the butt? Dare to show his butt in front of my woman, come, let's go chop his butt off!" Ci Hun was speechless, saying, "That was done by the woman." "Still, chop it off! Can't even protect his own butt, might as well chop it off." Snippet Four: Dugu Qianye looked at the person tied up like a rice dumpling in front of her, stroked her chin, and said, "I've decided, I'm going to rob.
