Budleaf Tea

In a world that often speaks too loudly, Anya lives quietly. She prefers the company of books, rainy windows, and unspoken thoughts. Her life is composed of gentle routines and silent dreams—until Oriana arrives. Beautiful, confident, and mysterious, Oriana walks into Anya’s life like summer thunder—sudden, fierce, and unforgettable. With a smile that hides sorrow and a laugh that awakens something deep inside Anya’s chest, Oriana becomes the one person who can unravel her. As the seasons pass and their hearts draw closer, Anya and Oriana discover that love doesn’t always begin with fireworks—it often starts in silence, in lingering glances, in shared cups of tea and small, stolen moments. But beneath the warmth, both girls carry pieces of their pasts that threaten to surface. Oriana battles her fear of being seen fully—flaws, pain, and all. Anya wrestles with the courage it takes to hold someone without needing to fix them. And together, they must learn that love isn’t about perfection, but about staying—especially when it’s hard. Her Laugh, My Heart is a tender, poetic tale of first love between two girls who find safety in each other’s arms. It is about the quiet kind of love—the kind that grows like jasmine in the dark and teaches you to listen to the sound of a heartbeat that finally feels like home.

Raven wakes up inside his favorite yet his most hated novel— Only to realize he’s been cast as the poor, miserable protagonist whose entire life is basically just a high-budget tragedy. He would've been happy with being a extra, but he was the protagonist of the most tragic story he had ever read. It was a story so bad that it had passed Betrayal check, double Torture arc check, and triple goddamn checks for Dead puppy backstory. But Raven’s not here to cry for reader sympathy. He’s got a system! …Which is completely locked and probably built by interns. He knows the plot! …Well, at least up to Volume 6 before he was reincarnated. But Raven’s had enough. He’s not grinding through heartbreak just to "build character." He’s dodging flags like a speedrunner with trauma flashbacks. That soul-crushing betrayal scene? "Nope, I changed the locks and ghosted them." The tragic best friend death? "Plot armor, activated. We’re not doing this today." The noble self-sacrifice to save the world? "I nominate literally anyone else." Armed with sarcasm, meta-knowledge, and a stubborn refusal to suffer for plot development, Raven’s writing a brand-new tale. One where the main character actually gets to be happy for once… Or at least less miserable than the original script demanded. This time, fate plays by his rules. And rule #1? "If the storyline sucks, I’m skipping the chapter." ............................................. What you can get from the story: - 1. A good laugh. 2. A harem that isn't braindead. 3. An MC who grows (both physically and mentally) as the story goes. 4. An MC who wants to avoid trouble, no matter what kind it is as he already has a lot of trouble in his life, but that doesn't mean he would smile if you insult him (he ain't a pushover). 5. A plot where every character would feel alive. 6. A plot with no yuri or NTR; those are not my cup of tea. .............................................

Born without fate, he devoured the destinies of gods. In the beginning, Alister Von Fai was nothing, no name, no soul, no right to exist. But when the forbidden records of countless fallen universes converged, something unprecedented emerged. The Mother of All failed to foresee him. A devourer. A harbinger. A threat to Ascendance itself. The heavens condemned him. The Incarnates of Disaster hunted him. Even those who loved him sought to seal or slay him. But Alister was no fool. He saw through their fears, their desires, their judgment. For his path was never written. His existence, never sanctioned. And his desire? Not for wealth. Not for glory. Not for fleeting mortal fame… But to become the Ascendance of All. A being beyond fate. Beyond law. Beyond even the gods. --- [WPC JULY] Try reading this story and if its within you're cup of tea.

The tea was warm. The lights were soft. The world was ending, but we didn’t know it yet.

Zayan Khan is the cold-hearted CEO of Khan Enterprises — a man who breathes spreadsheets, scowls for fun, and hasn’t smiled since childhood. Raised by distant, workaholic parents, Zayan has learned one rule: never get distracted. Especially not by messy, emotional humans. Enter Andaleeb Shah — a tea-obsessed, chaos-attracting intern with a sweet tooth and no filter. She’s the exact opposite of Zayan: carefree, talkative, always late, and always munching on something. But behind her clumsy charm and contagious smile… she’s hiding a cosmic secret. Because Andaleeb? She’s not from Earth. And she has powers no one must ever see — especially not in a security-filled corporate building. Every time she meets Zayan, something goes hilariously wrong: spilled coffee, jammed elevators, public arguments — and maybe even bent spoons. And yet, despite himself, Zayan finds his perfectly calculated life cracking under her strange influence. But love doesn’t come easy when status, secrets, and space stand between them. Throw in a jealous rival CEO, an upcoming engagement, a pink attic room above a café called The Wishing Mug, and the possibility that the most ordinary girl in the office may just be from another planet… And Zayan’s cold heart is about to go supernova. What is andleeb secret?

My new novel "I'm Done Being the Green Tea Empress" is now available for free. I can't wait for your support... After a desolate death, Su Luo finally realized who were human and who were ghosts around her! Reborn, she swears not to let off the dogs of a couple and to cling tightly to her ex-husband's leg. But what happened to the agreed-upon contract marriage, and not being interested in women? ---- Every day, the Princely Heir must make three inquiries: Where is Madam? Does Madam love me more today? When will Madam conceive our child with me? "Princely Heir, Madam was angry today and smashed a pair of bracelets!" "Take Madam to the storeroom and let her smash until she's happy!" "Princely Heir, Madam got into trouble again today!" "Who dares to provoke her?" "It's the Crown Prince!" Princely Heir pondered for a moment: "Oh, then let's turn the world upside down and see who else dares to provoke her!"

She always knew there was a woman hidden in his heart, so when that woman appeared, she obediently withdrew. However, unexpectedly, he abandoned his 'beloved' and instead frequently invited her. "Mr. Fu, didn't you say there was a contract to discuss?" He pressed her against the cold wall, continuously approaching: "If you were a bit uglier, perhaps I would want to talk contracts and drink tea with you, but you're so beautiful, I only want to talk love with you." To him, Qiao Mo was like his most cherished treasure, and whenever others looked at her, he felt they were trying to steal her.

In the first episode, Little Palace Maid Lian Hua, holding tea leaves, thought to curry favor with Zhaoyi. The Emperor intercepted her halfway, and before she could react, he hijacked her tea leaves, leaving her bewildered. In the second episode, she wanted to curry favor with the Noble Consort. During the Noble Consort's birthday feast, she hadn't even presented the meticulously prepared tea leaves before the Emperor seized them, leaving her aggrieved. In the third episode, she had just sneaked out with the Palace Maids to pick bamboo shoots, planning to go back and cook something delicious when the Emperor burst out of nowhere wanting to freeload a meal. If it wasn't tasty, he would punish her, she managed to barely pass muster by exerting all her energy. Before she could feel relieved, the Emperor told her he was also staying to sleep! This time, he was thoroughly taking advantage of her, enjoying free food and lodging without the slightest intention of rewarding her. At night, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. All the silver she had saved up in earlier years had been used to sustain the Emperor. Now that the money was gone, she feared being punished for not being able to support him in the future. The more she thought, the sadder she got, her tears plopping down, which woke the Emperor sleeping beside her. In a flurry, the Emperor consoled her, "There, there, don't cry, don't cry. I haven't even had time to reward you, how could I punish you!" After much consoling, and finally with his promise to provide for her sustenance, she turned her tears into laughter. The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. This Little Concubine would need to be favored properly from now on—he dared not make her cry again. →→【This story has concluded, thank you for reading】→→ New book recommendation: "Consort of the Roll-Royce is Here, Run!"—It's a good read!

Jun Meilin walked into the living room, the first thing she saw was her ex punching her new assistant Mo Jingze on the cheek. Mo Jingze raised his beautiful eyes and called for her weakly. "Mei-Mei, it hurts." As if she was possessed, Mei-Mei ripped her ex husband away from Mo Jingzhe and touched his face. The handsome face had a red mark which made her blood boil. She whirled around and kicked her ex away, giving him twice the pain he had given Jingzhe. "Mo Liang, how dare you touch my Aze! You are courting death." "He..."Mo Lian started a defense but Mo Jingzhe moaned at that exact moment as if he was in great pain. Mei-Mei immediately helped Jingzhe up, screaming for someone to call a doctor. She did not see him sticking his tongue out at Mo Liang and smirking. When they were alone, he leaned against her and said softly, "Mei-Mei, kiss it better."

Kaito was just an ordinary office worker—overworked, under-caffeinated, and nursing back pain from a chair he swore he’d replace six months ago. His only escape? Fantasy novels, strong tea, and the quiet hum of a café on a rare peaceful morning. Then came the blinding light. Now? He’s been accidentally summoned to a divine realm by a flustered priestess who mixed up the magical paperwork and pulled in the wrong guy. Oops. Stranded in a world not meant for him, Kaito finds himself face-to-face with a radiant Dragon Goddess named Aurelya—who can’t return him home, but offers him a blessing and a chance to start over in the magical land of Aurethria. Granted the unique skill Scholar’s Insight, which lets him read and understand all magical languages and ancient texts, Kaito begins his new life as a sixteen-year-old bookworm with no combat skills—but an overpowered brain. Can a sarcastic, tea-loving introvert survive in a world of scrolls, spells, and dragons? Can he keep his head down long enough to avoid divine attention? And will the Dragon Goddess ever stop feeling guilty for yeeting the wrong guy across dimensions? A slow-burn, slice-of-life isekai full of magic, mishaps, and unexpected bonds. Because sometimes, saving the world starts with being a cosmic mistake.

A talentless youth enters the world of immortal cultivation, what awaits him on this path? Heaven only gifts it's chosen few while all others strive to survive. This is the story of a boy with no powerful bloodline, family, system, nor teacher. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~§~§~§~~§~§~§~~§§~~§~§~§~§~§~~~~§~§~~§~~ What to expect? This is my beginner level Xianxia, that is to say from everything i've read this is what I consider cultivation. As such we will set up everything from the very bottom, and we will delve into topics of cultivation until my brain fries. At first we will take it slow for like 20 ish chapters, after that we will pick up the pace as we have our first real conflict. No systems as that is not my cup of tea, they are fun but remove all tension in a story. No special bloodline, like we need to be able to identify to this person to a degree and humans simply aren't that special. We will start from the VERY bottom, so if you aren't in it for the long haul I wouldn't recommend reading further. Now, my writing isn't perfect, I am not some english teacher, I am just someone that overread and now I can't see myself just reading anymore. If you like my story, please support me via comments or whatever this site uses.

Lu Jiangxian died after staying up late one night. Yet, he finds his soul trapped in a fractured, bluish-gray bronze mirror. He falls into a boundless world of immortal cultivation and finds himself in the perilous landscape of Mount Dali. There, a small family from a small village by Meiche River picked the mirror up and is bestowed with the ancient teachings of the immortal ways, heralding the dawn of a splendid new era. ------------------------------------- A message from TomCat: Hi guys... this novel was a gold I picked up recently in my reading journey. I won't be profiting from this. Just want to share this great book with my fellow readers. Hope you enjoy this. The Mirror Legacy is a novel covering Drama, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Seinen, Tragedy, Mature, Xianxia, Psychological, Mystery genres. Written by the author Ji Yueren. ------------------------------------- A message from the Translator: Heya, it’s Crow, the translator for The Mirror Legacy. I’m glad to have the opportunity to translate one of the top ten books on Qidian. This is perhaps a different type of Xianxia novel that is quite unique in its own right. Instead of following a single main character through the story, there are no main characters in this novel, or maybe everyone is a main character. After all, the main focus of the novel is the characters rather than cultivation. If I have to describe what this novel is like… then I’d say it’s a Sims 4 Legacy Challenge, but set in an eastern fantasy world. If you can find satisfaction in watching generations of a family building themselves up and enjoy books with good characters, then this is the novel for you. The story progresses slowly in the beginning, making this a great read before your bedtime or on a lazy afternoon in the cafe with a cup of tea in your hand. (You may also need a tissue box for your tears, that’s all I’m going to say.) The story starts with a guy named Lu Jiangxian who died after staying up till late to work. He transmigrated, not as a human but a mirror (a broken one at that)! Upon discovering that he could absorb the essence from moonlight and gain power from it, he decided to find ways to restore his mirror body and find out its origin. He was later picked up by Li Xiangping, a teenager from a humble farming family that soon discovered that the mysterious artifact they found could turn mortals into immortals. With such a powerful artifact in their house, they feared that tragedy could befall their family. There was only one thing for them to do—become powerful to protect their secret and family!

One moment, Jia Lan was a modern city girl with perfect skin, soft hands, and zero survival skills. The next? She’s in the 1970s—inside a novel—as the youngest daughter of a powerful and wealthy urban family. She’s not the heroine. In fact, the hardworking female lead and righteous male lead are out there suffering through life, trying to "earn" a future in the city. Jia Lan? She just woke up in silk pajamas, got pampered by her entire family, and activated a daily check-in system that hands her perks for simply… showing up. Visit the kitchen? Gain cooking skills. Lounge in the courtyard? Glowing skin. Exist gracefully? Congratulations, you’ve leveled up again. While others chase opportunities and eat bitterness, Jia Lan is over here sipping tea, casually unlocking cheat codes, and getting praised for walking downstairs. Spoiled? Yes. Vulgar? Never. Plot-hungry? Absolutely not. She’s not here to steal anyone’s story. She’s just here to live her best life—gracefully, beautifully, and with a faint scent of jasmine. Too bad everyone else can’t stop staring.

"And what do you know about harmonizing?" Xiao Yue looked at him as if he had just spit on her ancestor's grave. "Me? I'm the CEO of the Inner Dao. I have a Master's in Spiritual Synergy and a triple Ph.D. in Multitasking Cultivation, with honors in 'Qi Optimization Under Pressure.' Should I show you my resume, or would you prefer a PowerPoint presentation on my celestial achievements?" Kenji Tanaka was a Japanese CEO with the soul of a spreadsheet: cold, analytical, and completely allergic to improvisation. He died like any good executive: from an excess of meetings. Now, he's Kenji, a nobody in a world of cultivators, dragons, absurd sects, and spiritual manuals that take ten lifetimes to read. Martial talent? Zero. Ability to shatter mountains with a single blow? Nil. A master plan to turn chaos into a celestial startup, KPIs and all? Absolutely. They are the unstoppable force. He is the guy with the plan, the tea, and the to-do list. While his harem of martial geniuses smashes armies as if they were piñatas, Kenji optimizes formations, improves techniques, manages internal conflicts, and turns alchemy into a production line. He doesn't fight, he doesn't scream, he doesn't cultivate like a madman. He outsources the violence. Because cultivating like crazy is optional,but leading with efficiency is mandatory.

Dimensional Knights—legendary heroes who uphold order across the infinite realms. Wielding powers beyond comprehension, their purpose is singular and unwavering: to preserve the balance between worlds and defend against the ever-looming threats that seek to plunge them into chaos. Zane, a boy from Earth—one of the weakest and most forgotten realms—had his world forever changed the day he first witnessed the awe-inspiring power of the Dimensional Knights. In that moment, a dream was born. He wanted to become one of them. A hero. A symbol of strength and salvation. But fate had other plans. One tragic event shattered his world and dragged him into a downward spiral from which there was no escape. As the years passed, the dream that once filled him with hope twisted into something far more desperate. Becoming a Dimensional Knight was no longer about admiration or ideals—it became his only path forward. His only way to fight back. His only way to reach those who caused him immense pain and blood. Now, Zane's journey is not about heroism. It's about vengeance, survival, and rewriting the destiny forced upon him by those who wished for his death. Unbeknowst to him, this very path he was taking would change the order of the world forever. ** New story :p, probably my best work so far, the most polished and well-written one at least, I have worked on the idea for a long time, and I hope you give it a try, it might be your cup of tea. (PS: No, it's not a revenge story, though it has elements of revenge woven into it. It will be more focused on the path Zane will take, the adventure aspect, and the world around him.)

Kang Jo-hoon is a broke, jobless Korean man with a degree in politics and economics—and a lot of bitterness. After rage-posting a sarcastic review on a low-rated fantasy novel called The Demon King’s Tea Time, he wakes up inside its crumbling world. Now stuck in a ruined kingdom with no powers, no allies, and a "family" that’s barely surviving, Jo-hoon or rather, Kairon, must use his brain instead of brawn to stay alive. His “father” is a former noble stripped of status, his “sister” is too kind for this world, oh and let's not talk about the "mother" and the once-great capital is now a ghost town haunted by debt, monsters, and betrayal. Armed with only his modern knowledge, sharp tongue, and twisted sense of humor, Jo-hoon takes on the impossible: rebuild the fallen house, outwit nobles and demons, and maybe—just maybe—turn this tragic fantasy into his own empire. A bad story can always be rewritten.

Lady Evelyne Everhart died of a broken heart. Or at least, she thought she did. But the universe had other plans. Now reborn as the infamous villainess of a fantasy romance novel, Evelyne wants nothing more than peace, a good cup of tea, and perhaps the occasional elegant slap for those who deserve it. Unfortunately, fate isn’t feeling generous. Not only has she been thrown into a world of royal politics and scandal... but four of her exes have reincarnated here too. And worse? They all want her back. Men who once broke her heart now kneel for her love. Beg for her attention. Fight for her forgiveness. Too bad. She’s not here to relive the past. She’s here to rewrite the story—and maybe serve karma with a smile.

Revenge is the only thing she wants after knowing the truth. However, is revenge can satisfy her? Revenge for the man and woman that betrayed her in her past life is not worth it. "Wait, where am I? What's this place?" She asks. "This is your space and I'm your guardian." A little boy answered. With this space, she climbed higher in this life. At the same time, someone reached for her hand and said that he would help her. To protect what she needs to protect. ...... The Man: You don't want to have revenge on them? The woman: No. They are not worth it. But if they are looking for death, I don't mind giving them some lessons. The Man: Good. Then you can focus on me. The woman:... ***This story development is very slow. ***The cover image for this novel is not mine. I just edit it. All credit goes to the artist that draws it. *** English is my second language.

When everyone was busy scheming against her, Ruan Ji sips her tea calmly while enjoying nature's beauty. Her best friend hooks up with her boyfriend, but she signs the break up agreement and cleans her hand with a tissue? Her cousin wants to snatch her fiance, but she doesn’t even feel a little bit threatened? Her family is on the verge of bankruptcy, yet she just plays, sleeps all day long and buys stocks? Where is the reaction expected? Where is the great sense of peril?! Little did they know that the Ruan Ji they once knew had died long ago.

I used to think obsessive male leads were kind of hot. You know, the intense stares, the undying devotion, the way they’d burn the world for the woman they love? Swoon, right? Wrong. That fantasy went up in smoke the moment I woke up in the body of Sonia Mitford. The heroine of The Crimson Devotion. The first obsessive romance fantasy novel I ever read. The one that ended on a mysterious hiatus. The one with Marius Wittelsbach, a charming, possessive psychopath who thinks an ankle shackle is a love language. Now I’m trapped in a velvet-draped prison, shackled to a bedpost like some porcelain doll in a gothic fairytale. And Marius? He’s worse than I remembered. Sweet, soft-spoken, and utterly unhinged. "You don’t need to be afraid. I’ll take care of you." Translation: I’ll murder anyone who blinks in your direction and serve you tea over their corpse. "Anyone who bothers you... anyone who looks at you the wrong way... I’ll get rid of them for you." I thought I was playing the role just fine. Smiling. Nodding. Pretending not to be horrified. But then, plot twist. Alessio Slovene, the forgettable side character, walks in looking like a golden retriever knight and drops this bomb: he’s actually the crown prince in disguise. And he’s been investigating Marius. Finally, a lifeline. Maybe. Because people are vanishing. The body count is rising. And every time Marius kisses my forehead and calls me “Nia,” I feel one step closer to becoming the tragic heroine in a blood-soaked love story. Obsessive male leads aren’t dreamy. They’re terrifying. And I might be in way over my head.

Eliot is a silver-haired, tea-loving, soft-spoken noble who’s supposedly useless. Also Eliot: sovereign of the Eastern Underworld, demon hunter, casual flirt, and part-time chaos magnet. Lucien is a cold, stoic prince everyone forgot existed. Also Lucien: sovereign of the North, sword saint, demon exterminator, insomnia addict, and allergic to human interaction. They were never meant to get married. One was a last-minute substitute after his sister ran off with a knight. The other got tricked by his older brother and a sobbing pregnant woman. They swore this was temporary. Political. Just for show. Then the Emperor threw a five-year-old Saint at them and said, "Here, raise him. Good luck." Now they’re married, stuck together, and legally responsible for a divine child wanted by every nation, cult, and demon lord alive. Eliot can barely keep his coat clean. Lucien sharpens his sword more than he talks. Neither of them knows how to cook, bathe a child, or explain why holy light is exploding from the kid’s teddy bear. But hey — as long as no one finds out they’re both secret underworld kings with kill orders on each other? Everything should be fine. Right?

Betrayed by the Emperor. Poisoned by the concubine she once saved. Forgotten by the palace she served. Zhao Lianhua died quietly, an Empress with no power, no allies, and no love. Her name was erased before the tea even cooled. But the heavens are not merciful. She wakes in her younger body, six months before her marriage to the Crown Prince. This time, she will not play the perfect Empress. This time, she will not be loyal, obedient, or silent. With every memory of her death intact, Lianhua begins to spin her web: • The court officials who mocked her, she will use them. • The women who schemed against her, she will ruin them. • And the man who smiled as she died, she will destroy his throne. In a palace where power is everything and kindness is weakness, the Empress has returned. And this time, she’s here to win.

[Warning: This story is written in third person perspective, so it might not be everyone's cup of tea!] When a law office intern discovers that a fellow intern is one of his favourite new OnlyFans performers, a ball begins rolling that will bring a boring summer of paperwork and coffee-fetching into an avalanche of sexual adventure. Fair warning to readers, this story will jump categories. In these first chapters you can expect heavy teasing through exhibition and voyeurism.

Lui Ming died at 26. Not tragically heroic. Not beautifully poetic. Just… dead. A car accident, a blank expression, and no last words. Born with alexithymia, Lui Ming never quite figured out emotions—his or anyone else’s. Smiling at funerals? Accidentally. Crying during sitcoms? Never happened. Doctors called him emotionally detached. His aunt called him “a misunderstood sweetie.” Strangers just called security. But heaven, in its infinite sarcasm, gave him a second chance. Waking up in a cultivation world where people fly on swords and explode from spicy qi, Lui Ming finds himself in the body of a disgraced young noble—abandoned by his family, hated by the servants, and gifted with severe OCD. The original owner was one tantrum away from being assassinated. And Lui Ming, who just wanted to take naps in peace, realizes something quickly: He has no plot armor. No golden finger. No system. Just his medical degree, a blank face, and tea cups that must be aligned. To survive, he needs to cling to a powerful golden thigh. But there’s just one tiny issue. He has no idea how to blend in.

Zara Everleigh just wants to nap. Seriously. That’s all. She’s filthy rich, but nobody knows it. To the world, she’s just the lazy girl next door in oversized hoodies, sipping bubble tea and minding her own business. Until one day… She helps the insanely hot CEO next door by pretending to be his girlfriend. Now she’s stuck in a fake relationship. Reporters are camped outside her door. And the internet is obsessed with “the mystery girl.” Too bad Zara has no time for love. She’s too busy hiding her billion-dollar secret—and avoiding all human interaction.

War? Sure, I will join that. Are there four worlds to explore? That sounds like my cup of tea. You want to change my race? Well, have at it, I guess. Massacre life forms? Yes, I will participate. Dragons? I would like two of those. You want to make me a princess? Sure, sign me up. Multiple siblings? Sounds good to me. Oh, don't forget about my two wifies! After 2 years of experimenting, 3 Sazanami appeared around the world. The invaders won Africa, the western side of Asia, and South America.

In the kingdom of Ilyra, where lanterns light quiet roads and magic drifts like embers on the wind, Aeris, a gentle mage with a gift for fire-light, agrees to escort Liora, a young seer with storm-grey eyes, across a land shadowed by growing darkness. Joined by a steadfast knight and a healer with a warm spirit, they journey through dawn-washed forests, ruined villages, and river-lit nights, facing the creeping threat of a strange corruption while seeking small joys—warm tea, sunrise laughter, the hush before dawn. But every step of their journey tests the meaning of hope, the weight of light, and the quiet courage it takes to protect what matters most. Ember’s Journey is a story of gentle heroism, found family, and the warmth that can exist even in a world on the brink of darkness—a reminder that even the smallest lights can guide us home.
