Lotus Warframe

In the world's long history, since time immemorial, Night has ruled the sky in its hopeless embrace; a world full of hardship drowns the sea of stars, emphasising the fragility of life in the face of darkness. Star Gazing Settlement has faced annihilation. Those who survive the ruin flee in desperation, chased away by the terror of insatiable malevolence. A lone Immortal fights for life, resisting the forces who dare to stomp on his people. Looking up from the mortal world, Dawn witnesses the fall of her home Settlement, the terrible loss of her people, and a hint of the demonic harbingers who scar her life. Like the difference between Heaven and Earth, the pinnacle of the world is far above her. Immortals and Demons are like the peaks of mountains; how could Dawn feel anymore than an ant? The sky was the limit. Night's sky submerged even the Heavens. Yet, even with such a vision before her, she does not yield. In the face of such adversity, she continues to struggle. She continues to defy, to become Immortal! With only two friends to accompany Dawn on her cultivation journey, they overcome countless beasts and Spirits, wield a myriad of mystical abilities, and embrace their Way to become stronger. The Heiress of Defiance struggles against the dark, driven relentlessly by ambition, and to fulfil the legacy of her father. Like the lotus flower, which is born in mud and rises above the murky waters into a beautiful blossom. Witness a seed traverse the lands, overcoming mountains and rivers, all to reach the summit. To reach higher than the Immortal World. To raise her fist and shatter Night's sky.

In the forgotten corner of the empire lies Emerald Ridge City, a place where spiritual energy is thin and ambition thinner. Here, the weak are trampled beneath the boots of the three clans clawing for scraps of power. In this city lives Lian Xue, a blind girl born into the Lian Clan — a girl considered a burden to her family name and deemed worthless in all aspects. Her life only becomes worse when her family informs her of her engagement to Young Master Jin — a lecherous, cruel heir to a merchant-cultivator clan. The match is nothing more than a transaction. The Jin Clan seeks access to the Lotus Palm, a modest art that, while dismissed by the greater world, happens to be the strongest technique in a city as insignificant as Emerald Ridge. The Lian Clan, desperate to improve its fortunes and end years of grudges, sees the marriage as a way to secure an answer to both problems. Lian Xue is simply the price — an unwanted girl offered up for convenience. Shattered by the news, Lian Xue ventures into the Emerald Mountains with only one wish: that some lurking beast will end her wretched life. Either fortunately or unfortunately for her, fate had other plans. She discovers a pool of blood — one that will change her life forever. What begins as a struggle to survive soon becomes the first step on a path paved with treachery, sect wars, ancient secrets, and the endless hunger of powers that were never meant for mortal hands. With every drop of blood she claims, the question grows sharper: Is Lian Xue mastering these dark powers… or are they mastering her? In a world where strength is truth and the heavens turn a blind eye, the blind maiden will make them all see through the veil of crimson she weaves.

Lorsque la pure lotus l'a provoquée, elle l'a giflée sur-le-champ, "Ce ne sont qu'une paire de chaussures usées. Si tu les veux tant que ça, prends-les et porte-les." Le Président Jones est intervenu avec un visage effronté, "Épouse, même si ce sont des chaussures usées, je ne les laisserais porter qu'à toi." "Dégage !" ... 【Un homme, une femme】Il y a quatre ans, elle est partie furieuse avec le petit dans son ventre. Quatre ans plus tard— "Oncle, j'ai remarqué que ton visage a une mine sombre, on dirait que tu as un excès de chaleur au foie. C'est évident qu'il te manque une épouse. Tu veux faire la connaissance de ma maman ?" Le président qui restait à l'écart des femmes, en regardant son mini-moi, ses yeux se sont approfondis. Il a immédiatement emballé la mère et l'enfant, et les a ramenés à la maison, les choyant au point d'agacer tout le monde. Quelqu'un a demandé, "Président Jones, ceci n'est-il pas un peu trop déraisonnable ?" Le président a souri froidement, "Vous attendez-vous à ce que je sois raisonnable quand il s'agit de faire plaisir à mon épouse ?" C'est l'histoire d'un Président Jones autoritaire, farouchement dominant et déraisonnable lorsqu'il s'agit de choyer son épouse.

[Good news]: She transmigrated into the well-known Phantom of the Opera [Bad news]: It was the horror movie version! After waking up, Bo Li discovered that she had transmigrated to the 19th century. In the 19th century, smog was severe, tuberculosis was prevalent, and sanitary conditions were bleak. It was possible to step into a pile of manure at any moment. To make matters worse, she had transmigrated into a crossdressing circus worker. This was an era where short-haired, pants-wearing women would be harshly judged, so no one doubted her gender. They just thought she was an overly pretty boy. However, as time went on, she would grow taller, and her feminine features would become more obvious. The circus was a mixed crowd. If she didn't leave before adulthood, her crossdressing would be exposed sooner or later. Before leaving, she convinced an abused teenager in the circus to leave with her. She planned on opening a haunted house with him. Author's Note: Bo Li is mentally 6 years older than Eric, but they're physically the same age. Eric is a SERIAL KILLER and extremely possessive of Bo Li. Bo Li will be a little afraid of Erik at the beginning, but she will soon enjoy his behavior. After all, If the male lead's every action doesn't poke at the heroine kinks, then what's the point? One-sentence summary: The male lead is even more yandere than in the original 'Phantom of the Opera'. My Other Works: The Imperial Concubine is the Most Favored in the Harem.

Three bloodlines. One body. One soul without a nation. An—a girl carrying the blood of France, China, and Vietnam—lives not only amidst the clashes of culture, history, and politics, but also torn apart by society’s prejudices on gender, identity, and dignity. A memory-erasing drug has upended everything. But scarier than losing one’s memory— is no longer knowing who you are in this world. As the shattered mirrors of the past begin to reflect, as family, love, and hatred intertwine into an inescapable maze, An must choose: to become a pawn in the power game between East and West, or to rise and defend the rejected part of her own humanity. In a world being assimilated and fractured, amid political schemes and battles for identity, The Rebel of the Wind is a journey against the current— where one deemed “wrong” learns how to live “right” with herself. A story of identity, forgiveness, and dignity. A sigh for those who were never chosen— but still chose to exist. And a gentle reminder: No matter how many bloodlines run through you, you can still bloom like a lotus in the mud.
