Nomad Merchant

The Astral Pact

Amidst the whirlpool of power, Ming Xuan crosses paths with Xi Xuerong, the daughter of a merchant. Defiant of fate, she burns like wildfire against the ice encasing his heart. Her love for Bai Changming is pure—until a court conspiracy shatters her family at his hands. From then on, she drifts alone under the heavens, their fates diverging like stars never meant to meet. In the shadows of political intrigue, **Jiang Yi**, a cunning strategist, charms the court with his wit while secretly weaving a darker design. Allying with an ancient dragon, he twists the dynasty’s destiny. Bai Changming falls to his schemes—only to uncover an escape from this otherworldly trap. Mysterious figures emerge: the enigmatic master of *Qian Nian Pavilion*, the mad monk *Jia Lan*, and the ambitious Prince *Jiang Yan*, who sacrifices Yinglong’s blood to divine the empire’s future. Dragged into a god-slaying game, Ming Xuan fights to survive. Meanwhile, Luo Shuichan, heeding the call of a sacred tree, transforms into the "Source of Boruo", a beacon to purify demons. Yet Xi Xuerong stumbles upon fragmented texts—revealing their three fates were written long ago. When the snows of *Ailao Mountain illuminate the ghosts in the withered well, when the white jade hairpin shatters into stardust, the fox demon smiles, whispering: "The gods save the masses... but I save you." In this chaotic game of thrones, is it heaven’s cruelty—or mortal obsession—that moves the pieces?"

The Broken Paths

In a world where cultivation shapes the Celestial Continent, who can unravel the truth behind a forgotten queen? Shrouded in whispers of betrayal and erasure, what forces conspired to erase Layla al-Zahira’s legacy—and why does Emperor Jinhai alone remember her reign? Awakening as Meilin Wuye, heir to the crumbling Silver Lotus Sect, Layla finds herself reborn into the same world she once ruled. Yet everything has changed: her kingdom is gone, her contributions erased from history, and her name reduced to nothing more than a fragile shell. Haunted by fragmented memories of her past life—a glorious yet tragic era marked by triumphs and failures—Layla must navigate the delicate balance between rebuilding her sect and confronting the shadows of her own erased legacy. But this time, she is not alone. Enter Atlas Ryland, the enigmatic merchant whose trading empire thrives on secrets and manipulation. Bound by contracts and mutual survival, Atlas becomes both ally and wildcard, his actions rippling across the empire as he challenges Emperor Jinhai’s iron grip on trade and power. Meanwhile, Emery Voss, a brilliant scholar-engineer obsessed with pushing humanity beyond its limits, partners with Zafira al-Rahim, a vengeful revolutionary driven by the ghosts of oppression. Together, they uncover traces of Layla’s unfinished inventions—artifacts of a forgotten age—and repurpose them for war. But as Emery grapples with the ethical implications of their work, she begins to question whether these relics will bring salvation or destruction. As Layla delves deeper into the mystery of her death and erasure, a lurking evil, ancient and patient, stirs in the depths of this world—an entity tied to the very fabric of reality itself. This is the story of "The Forgotten Queen" and her broken paths.

The Ceo‘s Caged Melody

Black-bellied, sharp-tongued business tyrant vs. adorably cunning, deceptively soft beauty 【Let the evil meet their fate, and if fate doesn't take its course, I'll do it for you】 It was rumored in C City that the merchant Gu Jiangnian was a master of strategy and profit, where every move was made for gain. But everyone at Junhua knew, Director Gu sought not only profit but also people. To what extent? Want money, send money; want someone, send someone; you fight, I guard the door; you brawl, I support you. Before marriage, she was the least favored miss of the Jiang family, battling alone against her cruel stepmother and adulterous father, with her daily work: brawl! Brawl! And brawl some more! After marriage, she was the beloved little ancestor of the Gu Mansion, pampered and protected in the palm of the master's hand, too precious to let others bully, with her daily work: cling to powerful coattails! Cling! And cling some more! 【Post-marriage daily life one】 One day, Mrs. Gu was ill and had lost her appetite. Mr. Gu canceled his appointments to return home, sat in front of her, and coldly stared, his words icy: “Didn’t you say I was a feast for the eyes? Eat!” 【Post-marriage daily life two】 Mrs. Gu found herself in a tight spot, attacked by the public, when a reporter relentlessly pursued Gu Jiangnian asking, “As Junhua’s director and C City’s wealthiest Mr. Gu, what is your opinion on Mrs. Gu's attempt to run over her own biological father?” The man paused abruptly, his face cold as he slowly and deliberately said, “She's spoiled by me. What’s it to you?” Without waiting for the reporter to answer, he arrogantly continued, “Even if you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. My woman, Gu Jiangnian’s woman, is not subject to your criticism.”
