Jinbe Warlord

The Reborn Emperor.

Meet Li Wei, a history loving grad student with the worst luck in the modern job market. He's dreamed his whole life about changing society maybe even becoming a wise leader in some ancient dynasty. His favorite era? Ancient China, of course, with its brave heroes, clever warlords, and fascinating politics. Only problem? There’s no job for “aspiring historical visionary” in the classifieds. But one day, fate steps in. After a (heroic, if he does say so himself) rescue of a little girl from an oncoming car, Li Wei opens his eyes… to find himself staring up at the ceiling of a palace. Turns out he’s been reincarnated as an 18 year old emperor in a world that looks suspiciously like ancient China, but with a twist. And guess what? The kingdom’s in shambles. There’s corruption everywhere, taxes are sky high, commoners are struggling to survive, and his court treats him like an adorable but useless figurehead. Most people would freak out, but not Li Wei. This is his chance. Armed with his love for history, a little bit of modern knowledge, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, Li Wei is determined to make some big changes. He’s going to pull his kingdom out of the mud, whether his scheming advisors and grumpy generals like it or not. Along the way, he’ll build an army, make new friends (and enemies), and maybe just maybe become the kind of ruler everyone fears but secretly loves. Get ready for a comedic adventure full of witty one liners, dramatic reforms, and plenty of awkward encounters as Li Wei attempts to turn his impossible dream into a hilarious reality. This emperor’s got his work cut out for him, but he’s not backing down. After all, it’s not every day you get a second chance to rule a kingdom, right?

The Silent Blade of Autumn

When the once-prosperous Tang Dynasty collapses into turmoil, warlords rise like shadows across the empire, carving out power with blood and steel. Among them is Lin Jianyu, a young man hardened by a past marred by betrayal. Once the son of a respected official, Jianyu’s family name was destroyed when his father was falsely branded a traitor, his mother succumbing soon after to grief. Now exiled from the world he once knew, Jianyu has become the silent blade—his life shaped by the art of the sword and a single, unyielding purpose: revenge. Guided by his enigmatic mentor, Master Yu Bai, Jianyu learns to strike with restraint, honing himself into a weapon both precise and unforgiving. But when whispers of his family’s betrayer, the ruthless General Wu Ming, resurface, Jianyu’s disciplined silence is shattered. Fate seems to draw him back into the world of politics and power, a world he had sworn to leave behind. As Jianyu descends from his mountain refuge, he faces a kingdom in ruin, alliances shifting like the autumn wind, and a choice that could either redeem his family’s honor or plunge him into a cycle of vengeance that will consume his soul. To clear his family’s name, Jianyu must confront not only Wu Ming but also the question that haunts him: Can revenge ever bring peace, or will it only lead him further down a path of isolation and loss? Set against a backdrop of imperial intrigue and ancient wisdom, The Silent Blade is a journey of self-discovery and sacrifice, where the line between honor and vengeance is as sharp—and as unforgiving—as Jianyu’s own blade.

Kissing Hellfire: Marry Me, Evil Lord

Power comes with a cost... and it was something she was willing to trade her soul for. A few nights before her wedding, Lauren sought a way to break her fourth engagement. Known for her bad reputation as the rebel princess, she was the only lady who had the guts to step foot on the Everston mansion, the house of a notorious warlord, in the middle of the night. She offered him a wicked alliance that the entire kingdom did not see coming: a marriage. A vixen pretending to be a damsel in distress and a man whose crimson eyes screaming for bloodshed. Could something blossom in this treacherous dance of lies and deception? -- "Are you upset?" She eyed him sharply. "Should I be honored that I got tricked by you, milord?" He drank the remaining wine in his glass with one gulp and put it on the wooden table. He stepped in front of her. His hand was on the rail on her side while his other hand grabbed her glass and finished her wine before putting it down. The way his Adam's apple moved with his every violent gulp made her feel a tickling heat around her nape. When he brought his attention back to her, he licked his lips to wipe off the trace of wine. "How shall I make it up to you then?" he asked with his deep voice, like a seductive devil asking his victim how she would like to be killed. Dangerous yet… enthralling. - Note: This is a dark fantasy-romance genre with a lot of gore, family feuds, steamy scenes, twists and turns, and other explicit content (no rape) that will rile you up and might give you a heart attack so basically this is not for soft-hearted ones, so read at your own risk!
