Joaquin Phoenix Estatura

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

Lu Mingshu had never believed in fate. She hadn’t believed in it when her father had remarried and caused her family to break into pieces, nor had she believed in it when she’d been thrown into a valley to perish. She hadn’t believed in it when she didn’t have any resources to cultivate with, nor had she believed in it when she’d been condemned by everyone. She climbed up little by little from dust, while her reign soared into the sky, which caused the world to look on in fear! If justice doesn’t come, I’ll personally obtain it. If fate disregards me, I‘ll open up a way to survive. No matter what fate throws at me, I will surely become a phoenix! “What a ruthless woman. I’m willing to risk my life and limbs for you, willing to be calculative for you – I’m even willing to be an enemy of the entire world for you. Aren’t you moved even a little?” “That’s right, since I‘m such a ruthless woman, what exactly is it that you like about me?"

In a distant future, Earth is long gone, and humanity’s last survivors have found refuge on the desolate planet of Selora. Genetically engineered and raised to serve, Kael Duskborne arrives in a world where memories are erased, free will is a distant memory, and every movement is dictated by an unyielding, unknown force. His mission: to harvest obsidian from the planet's cursed mines. But Selora is no ordinary world. The land itself seems to pulse with a strange, sinister energy, and its creatures—ancient, primal, and deadly—lurk in the shadows. As he journeys through this harsh world, Kael begins to question everything he’s been told. Why is he here? What is the truth behind the planet’s dark past? Silent whispers haunt the air, and warnings of an ancient, omnipotent force—the Silence—demand his attention. With his very life at stake, Kael must choose whether to accept the unspoken order of his existence or fight against the oppressive force that seeks to control him—and the planet itself. In a world where nothing is as it seems, survival means navigating a web of lies, dark powers, and dangerous allies.

(PAUSED, WILL REVISE AND CONTINUE IN THE FUTURE) Cassandra Shin is a martial arts practitioner whom grew up with her childhood friend and crush Ye Qiu. She may have not been directly by his side, but seeing how hard he trained whilst being harshly berated by his father her affection only grew. While he didn't have a mother, Cassandra never had a father. Growing up in each other's presence with differing ways of parenting, Ye Qiu grew up with a mission, whilst the female meandered through her life aimlessly. As they grew up, Ye Qiu had told Cassandra that after his father deems him worthy and releases him from the Dojo, he will set out to find his mother and asked if she'd want to join him. Having no direction or plans for her life, she agreed to be his companion for this journey. The day after this promise, their village was struck by an unknown superpower force that wiped the small village and its surrounding areas into nothing but ashes. Cassandra had no recollection of what happened afterwards. The only thing left after that is her and Ye Qiu, with the entire village suspended to its state in time never ending when it was still whole.

In the early days of the henchu dynasty, the last great empire of China, a love that was never meant to be shook the throne. Bai Haofeng—a man of no title, no wealth, nothing but devotion—dared to love the emperor’s daughter. Against all laws, against all consequences, he took her hand and ran. But love was not enough to fight fate. They were hunted, torn apart, and branded as traitors. Yet, from that forbidden love, a child was born. Longzhuang. A child unlike any other. Born with one crimson eye and one jade green, he was feared from the moment he opened his eyes. The people called him cursed. A demon-born. A sign of disaster. But Bai Haofeng saw the truth—his son was meant for something far greater. Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was something far older, far more powerful. A soul that had lived a thousand lives. Each time he was reborn, he forgot. But his body remembered. His power could not be erased—the ability to summon storms, command fire, bend nature itself. And when his rage grew too great, when his human form could no longer hold him—his true self would awaken. Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was a dragon. And he saw what others could not. The past. The present. The future. Through eyes that were feared and hated, he glimpsed destiny before it could unfold. He saw love before it arrived. He saw betrayal before it struck. He saw death before it came. Yet, no matter how many times he watched fate weave its threads, he had never been able to cut them. Because even a dragon could not escape fate. The Red String had already tied him to her. Chun Guiying—a woman the world called a courtesan. A woman owned by others. A woman he could never claim. But the moment their eyes met, the string tightened. She was bound to him, as he was bound to her. Yet, love had never been kind to those who defied fate. Just as his father’s love shattered an empire, Longzhuang’s love could bring ruin to everything. Now, enemies lurk in the shadows, the past threatens to repeat, and fate has begun to tighten its grip. Will Longzhuang finally break the curse that has followed him for lifetimes? Or will history repeat once more? ---
