Lucinda Perry, seorang penyendiri sosial dan pekerja keras, berjanji pada dirinya sendiri untuk benar-benar menggila di ulang tahunnya yang ke-25 dan bahkan mencetak one night stand jika ia mendapatkan promosi yang sudah lama ditunggu di pekerjaannya. Beberapa hari sebelum ulang tahunnya yang ke-25, dia dipromosikan ke posisi yang lebih tinggi dan tidak hanya itu, tapi ke kantor pusat di kota yang berbeda. Harus menghabiskan malam ulang tahunnya di kota baru, dia pergi ke klub di mana dia bertemu dengan orang asing tampan, Thomas Hank, yang menawarkan diri untuk menjadi one night stand-nya setelah melihat daftar berani-melakukannya, yang termasuk memiliki satu malam berdiri. Thomas Hank, setelah digunakan oleh beberapa wanita di masa lalu, bertekad untuk mendapatkan wanita impiannya yang akan mencintainya untuk dirinya sendiri dan bukan karena kekayaannya. Jadi ketika dia bertemu Lucinda Perry yang imut dan polos di klub, dia memutuskan untuk menjaga identitas aslinya dari dia dan mencari tahu apakah dia layak untuk dia pertahankan. ***Excerpt*** Apa yang lebih menghibur daripada sisi karakter yang gila? Katakan halo pada Sonia dan Bryan. Jantung Sonia berhenti berdetak sebentar, lalu berbagai pemikiran mulai berterbangan di kepalanya pada saat yang sama. Bryan Hank? Idola selebriti yang dia naksir sedang berlutut tepat di depannya dan memintanya untuk menjadi istrinya? Apakah dia salah mengira dia dengan orang lain? Apakah mungkin ini adalah lelucon, atau mungkin ini seperti salah satu lelucon selebriti dan ada kamera-kamera di sekitar, menunggu untuk merekam dia membuat dirinya tampak bodoh? Atau mungkin dia sedang bermimpi? Sonia bertanya-tanya sambil melihat-lihat sekitar mereka, tetapi yang dia lihat hanyalah penonton yang penasaran. "Tolong! Jadilah istriku dan buat aku menjadi pria paling bahagia di Bumi," katanya dengan suara keras yang menarik perhatian semua orang. Editornya yang telah ditunggunya selama lebih dari satu jam karena dia mencoba menandatangani kesepakatan dengan produser film yang tertarik dengan salah satu ceritanya, muncul saat itu juga, "Sonia, kamu kenal Bryan Hank?" Tanyanya dengan heran saat melihat adegan di depannya. Sepertinya sudah berjam-jam sejak Bryan berlutut, tapi ternyata baru satu menit. Bryan tahu tidak ada wanita yang cukup gila untuk menerima proposal gila seperti itu, dan bahkan jika ada yang mau menerima, membayarnya dan membatalkan keseluruhan hal tersebut akan mudah karena yang dia inginkan hanyalah skandal yang bisa terjadi dari situ. Judul beritanya mendatang akan tentang proposal pernikahan yang ditolak atau pertunangannya yang dikatakan, yang cukup membuat Sophia lepas dari kaitannya. "Ya!" Jawab Sonia dengan semangat sambil menganggukkan kepalanya dan mengulurkan jarinya agar dia memakaikan cincin pertunangan. "Ya?" Tanya Bryan dengan bingung saat mendengar jawabannya. "Ya! Aku akan menjadi istrimu dan membuatmu menjadi pria paling bahagia di dunia!" Sonia berkata dengan tertawa dan menggerakkan jarinya hingga Bryan memasukkan cincin itu ke jarinya. Secara mengejutkan cincin itu adalah ukuran yang tepat untuknya, dan duduk di jarinya seolah-olah dibuat khusus untuknya. Suara tepuk tangan meledak di sekitar mereka saat Sonia berdiri dengan senyum lebar di wajahnya dan memeluk Bryan sebelum menciumnya tepat di bibir. Bryan sedikit terkejut dengan keberaniannya tapi cepat pulih karena ini adalah permainannya, dan dia harus ikut serta. Dia lah yang mendekatinya terlebih dahulu, bagaimanapun juga. Jadi ketika dia mencoba memutuskan ciuman, dia memegang dagunya dan perlahan menggigit bibir bawahnya sebelum membuka bibirnya dengan lidahnya dan mengisapnya dengan cara yang menggoda, mengeluarkan desahan dari Sonia. Sonia merasa pusing. Ini terlalu bagus untuk menjadi kenyataan. Itu haruslah mimpi. Bagaimana lagi dia bisa menjelaskan bahwa pada suatu saat dia duduk di lobi hotel menunggu editornya, dan pada saat berikutnya dia bertunangan dengan idola selebriti yang dia naksir dan menciumnya di sini di depan umum?

“The Lord put a mark on Cain, so that no one who came upon him would kill him” ( Gen 4:15 ). Cain's existence had been one of perpetual wandering and toil ever since that fateful day when he took his brother's life. The curse condemned him to roam the earth, forever tainted by sin. Cain settled in a small coastal town, putting down roots and establishing a prosperous coffee farm. The work of tending to the land seemed to offer him a rare sense of purpose and stability, a chance to find some semblance of peace amidst the turmoil of his cursed existence. Yet, the restless spirit that had driven Cain for so long never truly left him. Deep within, a yearning persisted - a desperate need to reconnect with the remnants of his past. He found himself constantly searching, scouring the world for two precious artifacts: his mother Eve's canvas stand and the drawing desk he had once shared with his ill-fated brother, Abel.That is, until Cain encountered Arabella, the sister of his closest friend Noah. Arabella, who had her own story, shrouded in darkness. Cursed by a malicious immortal, uncontrollable hunger, confusion, and overwhelming emotions plagued her.

Above lies the endless expanse of the sky, a vast canvas painted in shades of blue and adorned with wispy clouds. Below, the sturdy, unyielding earth cradles the roots of towering trees, the whispers of grass, and the rich tapestry of life that thrives in its embrace. And occupying the space that graciously separates the two is air—the invisible breath that carries scents, songs, and the laughter of both the vibrant and the desolate. To the left, in the shadowy recesses where reality bends, linger the spectral figures of ghosts—echoes of the past, hinting at stories untold and lives once lived. They drift through dimensions, reminding the unsuspecting of remnants and regrets. To the right, the world of humans pulsates with life, ambition, and chaos—each individual a world unto themselves, striving, yearning, and often clashing against one another. Yet, at the very center of this cosmic arrangement stand the immortals, enigmatic beings who straddle the line between the mortal and the divine, their wisdom and power beyond the grasp of any mere mortal. For Jiang Bai, a newcomer thrust into this intricate tapestry, the world is not merely a staggering display of chaos. Armed with the most advanced Divination System known to existence, he possesses a unique ability to read the flow of fate and probability. To him, nothing in this world is unexplainable, and no individual’s destiny lies beyond his calculative reach. It is a gift—and at times, a weighty burden. Just after undergoing the life-altering journey of transmigration, he finds himself caught in an extraordinary encounter. He meets a legendary immortal—a figure exuding an aura of ancient wisdom and power. With an air of urgency, the immortal seeks Jiang Bai's insight, requesting a reading of his fate. As Jiang Bai channels the energies around him and peers into the threads of destiny, he is struck with a profound shock. The reading reveals an impending doom—the immortal has only thirty seconds left to dwell among the living. Stunned and deeply shaken by this revelation, Jiang Bai can't help but question the whims of fate. Was this a mere coincidence, or was there some deeper design at play? The gravity of the situation sinks in as he recalls the dangers woven into the very fabric of the human realm—a perilous landscape rife with schemes of power, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of cultivation. Each ascension toward immortality is shadowed by trials, and Jiang Bai knows all too well the treachery that lurks behind smiles and camaraderie. Faced with a monumental decision, Jiang Bai must navigate the blurred lines that separate ally from foe, illusion from reality. With the specter of mortality weighing heavily upon him, he recognizes that before he strides into the unknown, he must diligently assess his safety—a habit forged from his intrinsic cautious nature. On the brink of embarking on what promises to be an unpredictable journey, he turns to his Divination System, seeking guidance for the day ahead. “System, should I go out today?” he inquires, his heart racing with the anticipation of what lies beyond his immediate surroundings. With a calculated ease, the System responds, “Today is favorable for venturing out. Engage in activities such as cleaning and exploring the mysterious locales that beckon. However, heed this advisory: steer clear of marriage and intimate relations, for entanglements may prove hazardous in the treacherous world that awaits.” With a mind brimming with possibilities and the foreboding weight of destiny at his back, Jiang Bai steels himself. The world is poised on the cusp of an adventure, fraught with peril and promise, and he is determined to decipher the pathways ahead, one calculated step at a time.

Lu An’s fate was no different—until his soul, shattered by fate, found itself reborn in a new realm of cultivation. Within his sea of consciousness, he discovers the Four Treasures of the Study, mystical tools that allow him to create talismans without depleting his spiritual energy. With this newfound gift, Lu An begins his ascent. [You have drawn a Breath-Concealing Talisman. Completion Rate: 62%. Grade: Inferior, first grade.

With every talisman, Lu An’s understanding of the Dao deepens, his soul, body, and laws intertwining as one. His talismans grow in power—some divine, some forbidden—each step toward immortality. Using the very forces of nature as his tools, Lu An crafts talismans that can reshape reality. With mountains and seas as his ink and brush, and heaven and earth as his canvas, he will rise to the pinnacle of the immortal realm. Even the immortals and Buddhas will bow before him, for they know him as the Talisman Ancestor. But few recall the man behind the legend, the one named Lu An, whose journey to the top, though formidable, has only just begun.
