Vivi Chan

In the depths of a cursed reflection, truth and deception blur into one. Vivian Sinclair never believed in the supernatural—until the day she moved into Blackthorn Manor, an old estate shrouded in unsettling whispers and forgotten secrets. A long-forgotten mirror hidden within the greenhouse awakens something inside her, something that shouldn’t exist beyond the glass. A shadow of herself stares back, watching, waiting. At first, the visions are subtle—flickers of movement when no one else is there, a whisper of her name in the dead of night. But as the days pass, the haunting presence becomes undeniable. Her reflection begins to move on its own, revealing memories she never lived, secrets she never uncovered, and a version of herself she doesn’t recognize. Sebastian Graves, a scholar obsessed with the manor’s dark past, warns her that some mirrors do more than reflect—they remember. And the one in Blackthorn Manor doesn’t just hold history; it holds something alive. Something that wants out. As the lines between reality and illusion fracture, Vivian realizes she isn't just being haunted—she is being rewritten. The more she resists, the stronger the presence grows, feeding off her fears, her doubts… and her lies. Because the darkest truths aren’t the ones buried in the past. They’re the ones we tell ourselves. And in the end, the mirror never lies. But Vivian might.

Vivian Montgomery has never been denied anything in her life. Beautiful, ambitious, and cunning, she always gets what she wants. And right now, she wants Damian Lancaster—the enigmatic billionaire who commands power and prestige with effortless ease. But there’s one problem. He’s already given his heart away… to his dog. Apollo, a sleek and intelligent Doberman, is more than just a pet—he’s Damian’s closest companion, his most trusted confidant. And when Damian falls for the kind-hearted Celeste, it’s clear the dog approves. But Vivian refuses to be cast aside. If Apollo is the gatekeeper to Damian’s heart, then she will find a way past him—at any cost. Her schemes begin small—treats, forced affection, calculated charm—but Apollo sees through her every move. When winning the dog’s trust fails, Vivian turns to darker methods. If she can’t make Damian’s dog love her, maybe she can make him disappear. But Apollo is not so easily defeated. And when Celeste and the dog uncover Vivian’s true nature, a dangerous game of deception and revenge begins. Can love truly be measured by loyalty? And when the battle for Damian’s heart turns deadly, will the billionaire see the truth before it’s too late? Betrayal, obsession, and a love unlike any other—welcome to a story where the fiercest rival isn’t another woman… but a dog.

What if everything you knew about humanity was a lie? In the year 2022, Earth stands as a testament to human progress—towering skyscrapers, supersonic jets, hypersonic missiles, and technology advancing at breakneck speed. Yet, despite these achievements, mankind remains blind to a far greater truth. Earth’s human race is not at the peak of evolution. Instead, it is the remnant of a once-mighty civilization that ruled the most energy-rich star domains in the universe. But why was this superior lineage reduced to a weakened, forgotten existence? Who stripped humanity of its divine power, making cultivation and cosmic energy undetectable? Zhen Chan, an ordinary young man living a peaceful life, stumbles upon a truth that shakes the very foundation of his world. The Bermuda Triangle, the Nevada Triangle, Japan’s Dragon Triangle—these are not just mysterious locations; they are remnants of a suppressed past, fragments of a forgotten war between powerful bloodlines and entities beyond comprehension. When Zhen Chan is abruptly taken from Earth and thrust into a realm where ancient human bloodlines still thrive, he faces a choice—embrace his extraordinary lineage or remain the weak, lazy man he has always been. But unlike legendary warriors who train relentlessly to become stronger, Zhen Chan has no patience for suffering. Instead, he schemes to exploit the cultivation world’s economy for his own gain. From selling beauty products to female cultivators to attempting to launch a social media empire in a realm where people communicate through divine senses, Zhen Chan’s ambitions know no bounds. But in a universe where wealth means nothing compared to bloodline power, can money truly buy influence? As he navigates interstellar clan wars, abyssal void beasts, and a galaxy where complete bloodlines reign supreme, Zhen Chan’s fate intertwines not just with Earth but with the destiny of the cosmos itself. Will he ever return home? Will he reunite with the women he loves, or will his heart be claimed by powerful female cultivators of another universe? In a world where one’s lineage determines their fate, will Zhen Chan rise—or will he remain nothing more than a lazy opportunist? Step into the journey and uncover the truth hidden within the bloodline!

Priest Alexander, how good is your printing? Princess Vivian said seductively with only a piece of white clothing that covered little to none of her sinful body. Alexander was shocked by the sight in front of him, looking at the woman who was one of the most beautiful, No!
