The Rhythm That Nurtures The Sprout

The Deal of Hearts:Ties That Bind

Clara Rivers thought her life couldn’t spiral any further into chaos. Betrayed by her best friend and drowning in debt she didn’t incur, Clara’s every day is a desperate struggle to outrun eviction, creditors, and the crushing weight of betrayal. Just as the walls close in, an anonymous note offers her salvation: “Your life doesn’t have to end here.” What she doesn’t know is that the note is just the beginning of a deal that will pull her into a world she never imagined—one ruled by power, secrets, and the enigmatic Zachary Hayes. Ruthless, cold, and shrouded in mystery, Zachary is the last person Clara expected to meet at the other end of her lifeline. Yet, his offer—a marriage contract that binds her to him—is impossible to refuse. But this isn’t a fairy tale, and Zachary isn’t a prince. As Clara steps into his carefully constructed world, she realizes there’s more at stake than her debts. Lies, betrayals, and old scars surround Zachary’s life, and soon, she becomes the pawn in a dangerous game of power, family legacies, and enemies lurking in the shadows. Bound by a contract but torn by mistrust, Clara and Zachary must navigate the fragile line between obligation and desire. The closer she gets to him, the more she unravels the secrets he’s spent years burying. But in a world where trust is a luxury and love is a weakness, can Clara survive long enough to understand the man behind the mask? One deal. Two hearts. And ties that will bind them in ways neither could foresee.

The Pond that Absorbed Me

I wish this story had more readers, cuz the ML is hilariously self- devastating jerk on a survival mission with gorgeous company he doesn’t care about. They shared constellations earlier, but now light-years separated their ‘whispered’ wishes… *** In a moment of unforeseen Fate, a young man reaches into the icy waters, but with a sudden, forceful pull, he is drawn into its depths. Now shrouded in the Darkness he endures his imprisonment there. “Reconnecting with an old friend is like finding a lost jade—if only it were worth the trouble.” Xiǎo Fù, The Servant. *** Meanwhile, in the secluded monastery the Great Master’s rage ignites when his servant vanishes. Four days of torment, anger, and longing leave every monk wishing for their own end… until an unexpected visitor comes. “Your Stupidity is the Yin to Wisdom’s Yang. Keeps the balance, you know.” Xījiǎo Yùshén, The Water Master. *** At this very time, the Prince suffers distress by the grief of loss, spending his days in drunken mourning in order to dull the pain. He doesn't have any desire to cling to life anymore, but being immortal, he cannot just die. “Eternity? Like waiting for a thousand cherry blossoms to bloom—one by one.” Mùnchén, The Second Prince. *** Forbidden practices, Heavenly secrets, Fate’s defiance and the Realms on the brink of War. As well as Curse, Scheming, Sacrifice and Punishment that turns God into Wandering Spirit, and Spirit into only Heavenly Heir. Sarcasm on the edge of torture, both evoke the bittersweet ache of missed encounters and unfulfilled destinies. *** THE LEGEND In a world where Realms are connected, there's an old tale—a Legend that whispers of Balance and hidden Powers. According to this lore, all Realms share a common origin, and their Fates are intertwined. Realms are destined to coexist as one. Here, no hierarchy prevails—no masters, no slaves. Instead, Realms harmonize, their existence interwoven threads. Should the Balance falter, Chaos looms, and the Abyss threatens to swallow everything. Yet, when the Abyss fully absorbs the Realms, the Celestial Source establishes a new Cycle of Life, and brings new Realms to coexist. But even if the Abyss is undeniable, a hope remains, for within the same Source that birthed the Abyss lies an indomitable Force—a Guardian, the One, born to confront, combat, and seal it. Thus, the current Realms gain their chance at survival. *** PS This story was planned long ago, but life is life, so I only decided to share it within online community now. That’s why your support means a world to me >> give me, pls, at least the smallest sign that my work is not in vain so I can happily proceed writing. I’m grateful for your like, comment or review. I appreciate every reader who spends their time following my characters’ journey throughout the chapters and helping me develop their best and worst traits, as well as torture, challenges, punishments and adventures. Thx in advance! *** All intellectual property rights of this novel are owned by the author (uttophian).
