Welcome to Eteliria, the Kingdom above the floating clouds. Let us push open the Gateway, pick up our staffs, and the adventure will begin from here— Through the hills of clouds and seas, like floating grass, the shallow rivers gleam; Across the meadows flowing with gold and honey, filled with laughter, beneath Rodell's cottages, a gentle song drifts. Through Egon's ancient forests, where dark vines grow rampant and whispers linger; Over ridges and between Chongshan peaks, shadows stir in the Underground World, danger lurks at every turn, and swords reflect light. The tale of a boy chasing his dreams, above the sky and cloud ridges, the Giant Dragon's Shadow, soaring with outstretched wings. And after time has been sealed away, the hearth fire still burns bright.

"Honey, I'm hungry again!" "Get lost! As far away as possible... No, I want a divorce, the kind that happens immediately!" Bai Xiao lamented. Her parents had set her up; divorce was her life goal! When she fought, he cheered her on. When she started fires, he helped by bringing gasoline... Everyone envied and sighed, "With a husband like this, what's there to be unsatisfied with? Could it be..." Bai Xiao, with tears of bitterness, "If I don't run now, when will I ever?"

She was just an ordinary high school girl, yet a whimsical decision on his part had suddenly made her 'the teacher's favorite' in everyone's eyes.

How can you sneak away first?" he pleaded. "Sorry, my ex-husband, I'm married now. Please, get lost!"

The dimly lit room hummed with the quiet buzz of a camera crew preparing for yet another late-night shoot. Xia Weyi sat alone in the corner, her delicate fingers clutching the edges of her script. Her almond-shaped eyes traced each line of dialogue, though her mind wandered far from the words. The world saw her as an actress—a star loved and envied—but her heart bore a secret far heavier than the accolades she carried. She wasn’t here to dazzle; she was here to rewrite fate. Memories of her past life flickered in her mind like a reel of forgotten scenes. The betrayal, the heartbreak, the cold, lifeless body of her husband—Tenzing. She had failed him once. Not again. Not this time. A loud laugh echoed across the room, jolting Xia back to the present. Johnny, her stylist and confidant, was entertaining the crew with his usual antics. His honey-colored hair shimmered under the set lights, and his hazel eyes sparkled with mischief. He caught her gaze and offered her a reassuring smile, unaware of the storm brewing in her heart. Then there was Zen—Tenzing’s estranged younger brother, who had reappeared like a ghost from her buried past. His piercing eyes seemed to see through her, dredging up secrets she had vowed to forget. Xia clenched her fists. There were too many pieces to this puzzle, too many lives entangled in her second chance. But one thing was clear: she hadn’t been reborn for vengeance. She was here to save Tenzing. But from whom? The answer remained as elusive as ever, hidden behind layers of lies, misunderstandings, and an enigmatic connection between past and present. For now, she had a role to play—a role that demanded she balance love and duty, ambition and sacrifice. The cameras rolled, and the scene began, but Xia knew that the real drama was just beginning. In the world of fame, deceit, and untold secrets, Xia Weyi was about to uncover that salvation came at a cost—one that might shatter everything she had worked for, including her heart.

[Novel images are AI generated] ******************** [Excerpt from Novel] The Goddess remembered that day clearly. As she floated in the sky near the cold doors of death, she shivered. She had lost too much blood. The pain was overtaking her senses. She knew she was dying. She hugged the rabbit in her arms even tighter, not wanting to drop her loyal friend. How the Goddess had wished she could see her loved one, just one last time, she thought sadly. The cold began to invade every part of her body, spreading itself like sharp frost through her bones. She had not thought that she would die feeling so lonely and scared. She choked back a sob. She wasn't sure if her eyes were becoming hazy and blurry from her tears or from her consciousness slipping away... "You're safe now... I will never let anything bad happen to you..." "Thank you..." she whispered gratefully. When the Goddess finally awakened, she was home within her palace in the Realm of Gods. She sat up slowly in her bed assessing her surroundings. Sunlight shone through the grand windows onto freshly cut flowers on the bedside table. She could hear the song birds serenading the world outside. The air smelled like a mix of vanilla and honey. Nothing was out of place here. She was wearing a light nightgown. She lifted the hem of it so she could take a look at her body. Her light skin was smooth and glowing. There were no injuries at all. For a moment, she wondered if her time on Earth as Queen Chang’er was nothing but a dream. She took a deep breath when she felt something moving under the blanket. Curious, she lifted back the covers and gazed into the face of the little rabbit who had been her companion through it all. The Goddess’s eyes became wet with tears as she lifted the rabbit up onto her lap. She couldn’t believe that the little bunny survived the journey to the Realm of Gods. “Was it you who saved me…?” The rabbit rubbed its furry face against her hands, wiggling her little cotton tail, happy that her master had finally awakened from her long slumber. “You silly one…” The Goddess touched her finger against the rabbit’s nose, which caused it to twitch slightly. “For your kindness,” she said gently, “I will repay you, my little Tuzi.” The Goddess worked her magic and changed Tuzi’s form into a human. Forever her companion and friend. The legend of Chang’er goes, that she became the Moon Goddess in the heavens, accompanied by her loyal white rabbit. Sometimes, if one stares long enough at the Moon, they can see the rabbit shift into a human.
