Derek Hale Actor

Chronicle of Ember and Shadow

In the kingdom of Caithe, dark omens and ancient prophecies converge. Lord Alden Hale, the Lord Protector of Highspire Keep, oversees uneasy alliances among tribal warriors, desert mystics, and nobles like Prince Tarles of the western lands. Lady Sabrine Hale, Alden’s daughter, emerges as a strategic mind, driving preparations for a looming war against monstrous creatures rumored to be awakening. A mysterious scout named Corin—favoring stealth over open conflict—ventures into abandoned dwarven tunnels at Sabrine’s request. There, he discovers a creeping, living corruption and warped abominations. His only salvation comes from a runic rod that unexpectedly resonates with powers of ancient dwarven craftsmanship. The rod’s magic hints at a hidden lineage or “worthiness,” sparking Corin’s personal awakening as he battles the horrors beneath the mountains. As abominations multiply, border villages are destroyed, and refugees flood into Highspire. Tensions rise among allied leaders, each with ambitions and conflicting strategies, while forced unity grows through necessity. Prince Tarles brings soldiers and arcane relics like the Ember Shard, spurring both hope and suspicion. Meanwhile, Warchief Ganhar’s tribal warriors struggle to uphold their honor against creatures they barely understand. In this charged atmosphere, Lord Alden announces the formation of a Grand Coalition that will gather at the fortress of Graywatch to strike at the advancing darkness. Diplomats, warriors, and mages unite, yet mistrust lingers beneath the surface. Lady Sabrine studies dwarven lore, suspecting that dwarven forging magic holds the key to countering the corruption. Wielding his newly awakened rod, Corin returns from the caverns with warnings that a vile intelligence may orchestrate the hordes lurking in the depths. Now, with winter’s snows falling hard, armies prepare to march east, alliances teetering between hope and collapse. Fate looms over every choice, and an ancient conflict threatens to spill across the world.

Second Take On Romance - The A-List Actor Wants Me

One sunny day, Shen Jingwei, a Z-list actor, received an opportunity to attend an open-call audition the very next day. It was for the role of an antagonist in a new BL C-Drama, "Dance Of The Dragons", which was adapted from a novel of the same title. He agreed to join the audition due to several factors, among which his manager's threat to jump off the 20th floor, his dire need for money, and also the fact that his rank in the film industry could not go any lower. One look at the panel of judges made him want to turn on his heel to leave, but it was all too late. Because who would expect the poor Z-List actor to meet his mortal enemy/ex-boyfriend, Yan Renzhong, the A-List Actor responsible for his decline long before he even learned how to fly? ------------------ "You and I... are playing a couple of lovers, who will go on to get married and have children with each other." Shen Jingwei could sense blood coming up his throat. What was the point of saying it out loud, again? "Yes," he forced himself to agree nonetheless. Yan Renzhong pinned him with a stare. "We have unresolved issues from the past. I hope you won't let them affect your and my performance in the drama. Act the professional you are supposed to be." "..." "And don't call me 'Emperor Yan' anymore." Yan Renzhong left after delivering one blow after another, not even waiting to see if Shen Jingwei succumbed to his injuries or not. What? Whattt? Whattttttttt?
