Hou Niao, devoted to seeking the Dao, found himself mistakenly sent as an undercover agent to the Demon Sword Sect, eagerly anticipating the day he’d be rewarded for his service and could return to the Daoist Sect… Only when he had become a towering figure in the Sword Dao did he sorrowfully realize that there was no one left with the power to recall him!

In a remote jungle nestled between Chu City and Whitewater City within the Da Xuan Country, a thin and frail figure was leaning against a thick tree trunk. Both of his legs were spread apart in a relaxed manner. This figure belonged to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. Aside from his unusually pale face, the boy had fairly common facial features. His clothes were loose-fitting and a bright shining steel sword was carelessly thrown by his side.

When the night came, there was a twittering sound in his ears, and the monster in the shadow began to move restlessly. Jason’s hungry stomach began to roar, and he couldn’t help swallowing saliva. Hunger is the best spur.

What if you could go back? What would you give up to do it? Luana has lost everything—her family, her place in the world, and even the will to keep going. All she wants is one more chance.

And when time is your bargain, the debt cuts deeper than memory. A short, emotionally-driven fantasy about grief, sacrifice, and second chances.

Fate gave her three years to live—she chose to spend every breath… loving the demon king who swore he’d never love her back. ☆ ☆ ☆ In a world ruled by demons, haunted by angels, and built on blood and betrayal, Eve—a terminally ill orphaned girl—has one dying wish: to captivate the Demon King of the Burning Realm. At the sacred Devil God Festival, when fate reveals her as King Lucien’s destined mate, the kingdom erupts… and he rejects her on sight. She’s human. Weak. Dying. And worst of all—she still believes in love. But Eve refuses to give up. Living under the same roof as the cold, merciless king, she endures heartbreak after heartbreak, even as her illness worsens. He crowns another queen, fathers an heir, and shatters her hope again… and again.Yet no matter how often he pushes her away, Lucien grows increasingly possessive, jealous… unhinged. Until the day his perfect world falls apart—and the only soul still standing by his side is the girl he was never supposed to love. Now, she’s dying. And for the first time… he’s the one begging fate for a second chance. But fate isn’t done yet. And love—real love—is never truly lost. ☆☆☆☆☆ Fantasy Romance | Rejected Mate | Terminally Ill Heroine | Demon King | Dark Royal Romance. | Daily updates is promised |

Born from betrayal. Marked by shadows. Chosen by a forgotten god. Wasuren was never meant to survive. An illegitimate child of the divine Sunblood clan, he was cast aside—ignored by his father, shunned by his siblings, and thrown into the lowest ranks of the army like a burden to be discarded. With little training, no title, and no light to protect him, he was sent to the frontlines to die. But when death came for him, he cried out—not to the gods of his blood, but to the void. And the void answered. A forgotten goddess rose from the dark—the deity of ash and shadow, Yami-no-Anagami. In his final breath, he made a bargain. His soul for her power. His light for her darkness. Now reborn in black flame, branded with the sigil of a sun swallowed by ash, Wasuren Hoshigami is no longer the heir who never was. He is something more. Something cursed. Something feared. This is his bargain. This is his rise. This is the birth of the Black God.

I caught the eyes of the monster. A monster covered behind- a race suit and a helmet. Dashing. Hot tempered. Charming. Yet warnings of red flag plastered like an advertisement on my boss or specifically my driver- as his sheep's clothes barely hid those narcissistic, arrogant, and sadist traits. Was I scared? Opposite. I was attracted to this villain. A trepidation. This isn't anymore lovely or professional but feels like- Hades is ready to claim his Persephone. One thing that doesn't match with the equation is I am no Persephone. I won't run or hide. This whatever is going on between us, is about to ruin our lives-'miserably'. Specifically I gave myself to a soul carving demon. My Demon.

After Mo Tianzun -the feared Demon Lord- fell to the sword of Liu Shengjie, the martial world breathed a sigh of relief. The Spirit Realm, once shattered by war, began to rebuild. Peace reigned for the first time in a thousand years. Without the threat of demons, cultivators flourished, and the balance between realms was restored. But peace is never eternal. Deep within the sacred grounds of the Yunxiao Healer Sect, a young prince named Lin Xuanji opened his eyes. His vision was unfamiliar, yet the face he saw in the bronze mirror was hauntingly similar-refined, beautiful, a mirror of the demon he once was. Gone was the stark white hair of the Demon Lord. Now, jet-black strands framed his youthful face. His body felt unfamiliar... and yet, when he summoned his qi, the power surged through his meridians-untamed, immense, his former strength intact. He was reborn. Mo Tianzun, the once-invincible Demon Lord, now inhabited the body of Lin Xuanji-the weakest prince of the Yunxiao Sect, a laughingstock among cultivators. "Weakling prince?" Mo's eye twitched. "They dare... call me that?" Though furious, he knew better than to reveal his true nature. For now, he'd play the fool. Let them mock. He would bide his time, regain his influence, and reclaim his destiny. As he sat in meditation, refining his qi in silence, a sudden voice echoed through the room. "Greetings, host." Startled, Mo's-no, Lin Xuanji's-eyes flew open. "Who's there?" No one. But then, above his head, a shimmering blue screen flickered into view. > [Welcome to the System!] Main Quest: Make Crown Prince Zhao Longxuan fall in love with you-and only you. Objective: Become the prince's sole consort, and ascend as the queen-with zero concubines. "...What the fuck?!" Mo Tianzun, the terror of three realms, screamed into the void. ———— Image Credit: The book cover/photo is not mine; full credit goes to the rightful owner.

The moment the dart struck my back, I staggered. Heat flooded my limbs, then numbness__ like my body was sinking while still standing. I heard Seraphina scream my name, but her voice sounded far away, like she was underwater. The cave blurred__ shadows dancing, lights spinning. My legs gave out _ I crumbled beside nyra. My hands resting on her wings. Was this how it ended? I blinked, the figures closed in. Then __ a roar. It wasn't nyra, not even human. The air changed _ electric and sharp. Like a storm had entered the cave. Then came the sound _ swift and brutal. I saw shadows, one in front of me__ nails long, curvy, eyes pure gold. She just killed one man with her bare hand. A gunshot. Another. A shout cut short. A man screamed. Something crashed hard against the wall. I tried to lift my head __ but to no avail. A blue of black and silver swept past me. Like a shadow but with purpose. A familiar voice barked "why the hell is she here". Low. Cold. Unforgiving. Draven? I tried to speak _ but couldn't. My lips moved, but nothing came out. Darkness bled in from the edge of my vision. The last thing I saw was Draven kneeling beside me _ gloved hands, lifting me up gently. His eyes were now pure gold. Anger. Wildness. Protection. Then nothing, only darkness
