Der elternlos aufgewachsene Shi Yan, dem ein großer Teil des geerbten Geldes vererbt worden war, zeigte ein allgemeines Desinteresse am Leben. Die einzigen Momente, in denen er sich lebendig fühlte, waren die, in denen Adrenalin durch seine Adern floss. Er fand schnell heraus, dass Extremsportarten wie Bungyjumping, Höhlentauchen und Fallschirmspringen ihm den größten Kick gaben. Je größer der Adrenalinkick, je näher er dem Tod war, desto lebendiger fühlte er sich. Als er in einem Haufen Leichen in einem unbekannten Land aufwachte, nachdem ein Tauchabenteuer katastrophal geendet hatte, wurde ihm schnell klar, dass der Körper, den er nun besaß, nicht sein eigener war. Folgen Sie Shi Yan bei der Erkundung dieser neuen Welt, in der die Gefahr hinter jeder Ecke lauert und der Tod nur einen Atemzug entfernt ist; eine Welt, in der sich Shi Yan nicht lebendiger fühlen könnte.

Living his ordinary life, Arrav was suddenly ripped from reality, thrown naked into an unfamiliar world where no one understood his words. Before he could react, he was cast into a pitch-black cell, stripped of time, dignity, and even his senses. He did not eat, drink, or sleep—yet he did not die. At first, he screamed, pounded the walls, begged for escape. But as the days blurred, even his emotions abandoned him. His mind teetered on the edge of insanity, whispers in the void gnawing at what was left of him. Then, after what felt like eternity, a sliver of light pierced the darkness. But was there anything left of Arrav to step into it?

Standing in the Aristocratic Circle New to the Aristocratic Circle and Subjected to Bullying After crossing over, Dai Shi Ya found herself in a hostile aristocratic family. The housekeeper, Liu, treated her poorly, arranging for her to stay in the servants' quarters and providing her with servant uniforms as "daily clothes." The other servants also held prejudices against her due to her status, making life difficult for her at every turn. Faced with these difficulties, Dai Shi Ya did not choose to confront immediately but decided to take the initiative to try to integrate into the family. She began to help in the kitchen, learning various domestic skills. Although her efforts did not immediately win the recognition of everyone, she gradually won the respect of some of the servants. Shining at the Family Dinner In order to establish herself in the family, Dai Shi Ya decided to take advantage of the family dinner. She meticulously prepared for various aspects of the dinner, including venue layout and menu design. At the dinner, she encountered multiple difficulties from her cousin Dai Yue. Dai Yue first tried to prevent her from attending the dinner by soiling her dress, and then attempted to embarrass her by making her perform piano in front of everyone. However, Dai Shi Ya used her intelligence and skills to defuse the crisis and showcased her embroidery talent and "mind-reading" skills at the dinner, winning everyone's admiration and changing the attitudes of the family elders towards her. Resolving Crises and Consolidating Her Position At the birthday party of the Dai family patriarch, Dai Shi Ya once again became the focus of attention. She not only put in a lot of effort in the preparation process but also skillfully handled various unexpected situations at the party. She exposed Dai Yue's malicious acts of spreading rumors behind the scenes, causing Dai Yue to be embarrassed in front of everyone, while also gaining the recognition and support of the family elders, further consolidating her position in the Dai family. Handling Family Affairs Dai Shi Ya gained the trust of the Dai family patriarch and was asked to handle some family affairs. She took over a land project that had been abandoned for many years and, through her own efforts, resolved a series of issues in the land development process, including the breakage of the capital chain and the resettlement of residents. In the process of handling the land project, she also discovered some clues about the late wife of the Dai family patriarch, which brought her closer to the patriarch and also aroused Dai Yue's jealousy and resentment. Business Competition and the Test of Friendship Business Conspiracy and Counterattack Dai Shi Ya's rise within the family aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of some people, making her a target of business competition. The collateral branch of the Dai family, including Dai Qiang, spread rumors behind the scenes, trying to tarnish her reputation and undermine her position in the family. Dai Shi Ya was not knocked down by these rumors. She exposed the conspiracy of Dai Qiang and others through her intelligence and investigative skills, and successfully counterattacked them at the family meeting, maintaining her reputation and position. Friendship Crisis and Resolution Dai Shi Ya's good friend Wei Qing was implicated in her business competition. Wei Qing was threatened by Zhao Lei, forced to distance himself from Dai Shi Ya, and betrayed her in some business affairs. Dai Shi Ya did not give up on Wei Qing. She investigated the truth through her own efforts, exposed Zhao Lei's malicious acts, successfully resolved the friendship crisis with Wei Qing, and also freed Wei Qing from Zhao Lei's threat.

Leh Ying found herself acquainted with the higher echelons she should not aspire to, and when the profligate young master Liu Huaiying pursued her relentlessly, she had no escape. A fleeting glimpse of Young Master Xu, Xu Jingxi's appearance, had her heart fluttering, and her spirit moved; the Xu family was the center of power within Forty-Nine City, and only he could change the game. On a snowy night, by the door of the Mercedes Benz G Class, she tiptoed and gently cupped her palm to light a cigarette for Xu Jingxi. The man’s lips leisurely wrapped around the cigarette, and he leaned slightly towards her. His clear-cut face partially lowered into the backlight’s shadow, the flame at the tip of the cigarette flickered faintly between them. When he finally looked up, his eyes were calm and indifferent, and he asked in a rising inflection, “What do you want?” Leh Ying, “Only what you can give.” Others quickly realized, “That Xu Jingxi, born into high chambers, his flesh and bones saturated with a profound desire for power. For someone like him, even feelings are superfluous. What do you have to gamble your status with him?” Keeping her by his side was merely Xu Jingxi’s pastime for his loneliness. He was accustomed to acting out scenes, she never sought status, and turned to leave the capital to hold an art exhibition. Just as she packed and entered the elevator, Xu Jingxi stood tall in the center, his index finger slowly hooking the fine bone necklace at the front of her neck and gently pulling her back as she moved to step out. ** That Valentine's Day night, within the Third Ring, luxury hotels were fully booked, and some witnessed the entire BVG Hotel being reserved by Young Master Xu. What left the deepest impression on Leh Ying was the man half-kneeling on the bed, wearing a loosely tied bathrobe, biting on a pen cap, and picking up a Thin Gold Calligraphy Style brush to inscribe three characters along the edge of her collarbone—Xu Jingxi.

Winter’s Note: This novel is a chaotic mix of adventure, slice-of-life, and a sprinkle of every genre imaginable. So if you ever feel like the story is going off the rails—good! That means it’s working as intended. Hahaha! I’m writing this purely for fun, so buckle up and enjoy the ride! Oh, and I’m a solo writer, so if something seems off, don’t worry—I’ll fix it before it turns into a multiversal disaster. Probably. --- Flipping Fate "Every choice reshapes the future; every flip unveils a hidden truth." --- Ezra died. Not in some grand, heroic way. Not as a chosen one, nor as a villain who laughed until the bitter end. Just an ordinary boy who barely had the chance to live. And yet, death wasn’t the end. Because when he opened his eyes again… he was no longer human. He had become a guardian spirit, bound to a system that claimed it could bring him back to life. But, of course, there was a catch. A huge, system-sized catch. To reclaim his humanity, he had to complete missions, grow stronger, and unravel a mystery he never signed up for. A mystery tied to a man he had never met—Kai. At first, Kai was just a name, a blurry face in the visions that haunted Ezra’s dreams. But the more he fought, the more he explored, the clearer those visions became. "Find Kai, and you will transcend." What did that even mean? Transcend into what? A higher being? A walking headache? No one had answers, so Ezra did what he did best—winged it. He wandered through peaceful villages where the smell of fresh bread made him forget his existential crisis. Through cities where life thrived, full of laughter, fights, and way too many questionable food choices. Through lands untouched by time, where ancient beings whispered secrets that probably should have stayed secret. Along the way, he met people who warmed his heart and others who tried to rip it out (sometimes literally). He learned to fight, to survive, to appreciate the little things—like not getting stabbed before breakfast. But no matter how far he traveled, the visions never stopped. Because somewhere out there, Kai was waiting. And when they finally met? Ezra had the strangest feeling that his real journey was only just beginning.

Unruly gods Caelum, Lucius, and Riven were banished to the mortal world for raging countless wars in the immortal realm. For a thousand years, their immortal souls wandered aimlessly. Until a young boy heard their voices.
