The Xie Family all studied law, possessing the fine qualities expected of a scholarly family. Xie Shang too had them: elegance, deep learning, a Fragrance Connoisseur versed in classics, also skilled in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. But he was mad, capable of reciting the scriptures while holding a Buddha statue, as well as breaking people's hand and foot bones, very gentle, yet very cruel. Xie Shang didn't become a lawyer but opened a pawnshop instead, where you could pawn anything as long as the story was compelling. One day, someone came to the pawnshop and told a story: In Fragrant City, there was a family with the surname Wen, where daughters took their mother's surname. The daughters of that family could cast spells, the kind that bewitched men, leaving their lovers either buried with them or taking vows of celibacy; in short, either dead or destined for a lonely life. Xie Shang's uncle had died in Fragrant City, which is why he accepted this particular pawning business. Bewitched, confused, thrilled, deeply in love, but love unattained, and a pain so intense it made life unbearable. — This was the script Xie Shang had prepared for the deaf boy Wen Changling. In the end, it was Xie Shang who ended up with this romance-addled script. Wen Changling: Are you surprised, Mr. Xie Shang? (This isn't a book transmigration story, it's a contemporary sweet romance. The 'script' in the book title implies deliberate plotting.)

What is martial arts? Martial Arts has nothing to do with musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, treasures or secret manuals, nor is there so much talk about being the best in the world. Martial Arts is a technique, a method that gives the weak a chance to draw their blades against the strong. What is chivalry (xiá)? Chivalry is not about romantic affairs, traditional culture, or being gentle, respectful, frugal, and compliant. Chivalry is violence, it's the bayonet forged by those driven to Mount Liang to use against tyrants. Cao Mo pledged with a dagger, (Returning to) Lu to invade. Zhuan Zhu entered with grilled meat, (Pacifying) Wu to usurp the throne. Brother Zhang cried in the market, avenging his lord by defiling a lavatory. Suicide by cutting one's own throat to seek justice, acting while concealing his sleeve. The tyrant of Qin seized souls, the coward gained courage. This is a martial artist's story. In the 1930s, a group of like-minded young people came together, striving to change the world. Then, two hundred years later, in a garbage landfill, Xiang Shan, the Progenitor of Cyber Martial Arts who had once rebooted heaven and earth, woke up reciting the name of his enemy, having lost all his memories. "Perhaps it's because I lost back then that the world has become what it is..." "So this time, I won't be defeated again!" This is the story of a person changing the world once more!

"Choose sculpture, and you will become as handsome as the statues themselves." "......." "Choose gaming... oh my friend, do you need to top up? Just top up, and be happy for seven days!"

When there were strange signs in the sky, there must be demons lurking. Li Mo, who had studied antiques since he was young, had a strange change in his eyes after being struck by lightning. With a pair of divine eyes, he gained the ability to see through things and sense objects. He bought a gourd bottle for 500 yuan at a flea market and sold it for 230,000 yuan. A painting he casually bought turned out to be a genuine work by Xu Beihong, worth thirty to forty million yuan. The black double-eared bottle that came with the purchase of a set of gold jewelry turned out to be a genuine possession of the Ming imperial family. Ancient bronze ware, exquisitely crafted porcelain, calligraphy and painting with bold and vigorous strokes, and thrilling gambling stones came one after another. From then on, Li Mo's life underwent a revolutionary change. "I have divine eyes, and there are no treasures in the world that can escape my sight."

Prologue: The Fall of the House of Eldras In an age long forgotten, the House of Eldras stood as one of the most powerful and revered noble families in the land. Known for their mastery over forbidden magic, the Eldras were the victors of a brutal war that reshaped the kingdom. They wielded an heirloom—an artifact of unimaginable power—that granted them dominion over the very forces of nature. But with great power came great envy.

Key figures were massacred, and the remnants of the family were exiled to the shadows, forced to adopt new identities and hide from those who sought their demise.

But deep within the heart of the Redwood Kingdom, a young boy named Sylas, the last bloodline of the fallen family, waits. His Ring—the key to his family’s forgotten power—will soon awaken, setting him on a path to reclaim his birthright. Yet, Sylas harbors no thirst for vengeance. He only desires a better life. But fate has other plans, and the world will soon discover that the true power of the House of Eldras is far from extinguished. In the shadows of the past, the Contracter's Conquest begins. ---

Avery: Aside from his mother, Avery is the only omega in a family full of alphas. As the youngest of four, he was strongly loved and heavily supported as he decided to make a name for himself as an artist. However, rather than filling him with warmth and passion like it once used to, he began feeling empty inside whenever he painted or drew. The night before his freshman orientation at the university he was going to attend, he made up his mind to deffer his enrollment and step away from art entirely. At nineteen years old, this one decision would not only alter the course of his future, but lead him to finding the answers to questions he desparatley searched for, "Why do I paint? Who do I paint for? What am I trying to say?". Even after taking a step back from his greatest passion, art is the only thing he has on his mind. Feeling lost and confused, a seemingly meaningless decision and one unfortunate situation leads him into the arms of an alpha he has never met.

Now Kai is a modest owner of a bar, living in a studio apartment and sending what wages he can to the mother who blamed him for her life. Harboring deep seeded guilt for the way his mother has lived, Kai swore he would never get involved romantically with anyone, much less an omega, lest he resign them to the same fate of his mother. However, that all changed when he was walking to work one evening and smelled the frightened pheromones of an omega in heat. He followed the scent to a young and incapacitated Avery, and decided that he needed to help him before things got worse. Carrying him back to his apartment, he did everything he could to reassure Avery and make sure that he was safe. He ran down to the corner store that was right next to his apartment and purchased some inhibitors to help with Avery 's heat... But when he returned he quickly realized that they would not work.

As flames scorched the land and blood painted the soil, a lone figure stood atop a mountain of fallen demigods and chosen apostles, his blade—a masterpiece of folded steel—dripping with the blood of those who dared to invade.

They had made one critical mistake, however—they had crossed into Makaiyama (魔界山), the sacred mountain of Ryukoku’s most feared legend: the Heavenly Demon. Beyond the veil of space and time, celestial beings gazed in shock. “Impossible…” one god whispered, watching as the Heavenly Demon, armed with nothing but raw skill and a dark aura, felled three divine kin. Rage flared across their ranks as they saw their immortal kin fall to mere mortal swordsmanship, untainted by magic.

With a heart ablaze, he swore vengeance. He would rise—not as a puppet, but as the gods' executioner.
