Love Among Pear Blossoms Lezhin

Max is a quiet and predictable person who works at a bookstore called "The Book Nook." He loves books and old records, and his life is comfortable and routine. One rainy Tuesday, while sorting through donations, Max finds a mysterious silver amulet with intricate carvings. As soon as he touches it, he feels a strange energy and hears a whisper in his mind saying "Find me." Max is unsure if he imagined the whole thing, but he can't shake off the feeling that the amulet is special. He decides to research the symbols on the amulet and seeks the help of Mr. Henderson, a history buff. That night, Max has a vivid and unsettling dream where he sees a woman trapped in a tower, pleading for help. He wakes up feeling disturbed and realizes that the amulet is calling him to find the woman. Max knows that he's not equipped for adventure, but he feels compelled to answer the call. He decides to embark on a journey to find the woman, despite the danger and uncertainty that lies ahead. As Max prepares to leave his ordinary life behind, he realizes that his life is about to change in ways he can't imagine. He's stepping into the unknown, and the humdrum of his life at the bookstore will be replaced by the thrill of adventure and the echo of the calling amulet.

In a world where beauty is a deadly illusion, humanity’s greatest predators walk among them—Shikiban, mesmerizing beings that lure victims with their ethereal charm before devouring their souls with a single whisper. Their existence is hidden from the world, but a secret organization, the Kageshiki, has sworn to hunt them down. Reika Kagetsu never asked for this war. One night—betrayal, blood, and darkness—then she wakes up in an unfamiliar place: Tenshiko Academy, an elite training ground for Kageshiki warriors. Branded as a trainee, she must endure brutal trials, deadly combat, and a world where only the strong survive. But something is wrong. The shadows whisper her name. The monsters don’t just fear her—they know her. And standing among the elite is Souta, the man she once trusted, watching her with a smirk—as if he planned her fate from the very beginning. Within Tenshiko Academy, there are only two choices: hunt or be hunted. Each trainee must slay Shikiban, absorb their power, and become living weapons. But as Reika carves her way through the ranks, a question lingers—what truly separates a Kageshiki from the monsters they kill? When the truth reveals itself, she must decide. Is she the hunter? Or has she been prey all along? A tale of vengeance, survival, and power—in this blood-soaked world, strength is everything. Mercy is death. And the whispers are calling her name.

With a body that is not his own and a cultivation method feared by all, he lurks in the shadows of the Golden Age, preying on the so-called chosen ones of fate. But this is no tale of revenge. The game has only just begun.

Qi Yuan was reborn in the world of mortal cultivation and became a errand disciple of the Yellow Maple Valley. He had five elements of mixed spiritual roots and thought that he had no hope of building a foundation in this life! But he didn't expect that there was a Chaos Cauldron in his mind, which could infinitely breed resources... A pill was put in, and it immediately piled up into a small mountain and overflowed. A thousand-year-old spiritual medicine was put in, and it immediately turned into countless thousand-year-old spiritual medicines. Several years later, Qi Yuan set up a small stall in front of Han Lao Mo and took out countless Palm Heaven Bottles and placed them on it. Han Li frowned and thought to himself: "Oh no, my Palm Heaven Bottle has become a common item!"

He’s a killer without a leash. She’s a girl with a price on her blood. Toki didn’t ask for redemption, he just wanted enough coin to stay drunk and out of trouble. But when a sharp-tongued noble girl hires him as her bodyguard, trouble comes dressed in silks and secrets. Kiyomi isn’t just some runaway with a stick up her sleeve, she’s the hidden daughter of the Emperor, and every bastard from here to the Capital wants a piece of her. Some for gold. Some for power. Some for darker things best left buried. Now they're stuck together on a journey soaked in blood, through crumbling villages, cursed ruins, and the ghosts of a forgotten world. But the greatest threat doesn’t come from demons or assassins. It comes from within. Because the monster in Toki’s chest is waking up again. And Kiyomi might be the only thing standing between him and the edge.

"We can’t go back now, can we?" the Prince asked, his voice barely a whisper. Dan-Bi stared at him, feeling the magnetic pull between them, the unspeakable truth that had been buried deep inside both of them for so long. The unspoken bond. He didn’t reply immediately. There was nothing to say. He just stepped closer, and in that moment, all the walls they had built came crashing down. Without thinking, the Prince reached out, his hand brushing against Dan-Bi’s. It was subtle—an accidental touch—but it was enough to spark something neither could ignore. Dan-Bi’s breath caught, and for a brief moment, he wanted to pull away, to push the Prince out of his life before it went any further. But he couldn't. Instead, he leaned in, his lips brushing against the Prince’s in a kiss that was soft at first. But then, the kiss deepened, and everything that had been left unsaid, everything that had been buried under the surface for so long, came to life in that one moment. It wasn’t just a kiss; it was a declaration. Of something neither of them had been ready to admit, but something they both knew was inevitable.

In a time when kingdoms rose and fell under the weight of ambition and betrayal, War Among Kingdoms weaves the intertwined fates of rulers navigating political intrigue, familial conflict, and the chaos of war. Set in a richly imagined world inspired by the golden age of West Africa, the story begins with the Kingdom of Benin under the reign of King Akenzua, who seeks to restore peace to a fractured realm scarred by his father’s conquests. The tale shifts to Prince Nehikhare, a boy raised on tales of vengeance by his grandfather, King Akhigbe. Consumed by the desire to reclaim Benin’s dominance, Nehikhare secretly amasses followers and wages brutal raids against neighboring kingdoms, ultimately defying his father’s peaceful reign. When his rebellion is discovered, Akenzua banishes him, but Nehikhare’s survival and transformation into King Nehizena soon threaten the fragile stability of the region. At the heart of the story is Queen Nosaze, Akenzua’s daughter, who ascends the throne after her father’s death. Determined to protect her people and uphold her family’s legacy, Nosaze emerges as a formidable leader, forging alliances to defend the western kingdoms from a masked invader. Her journey becomes intertwined with King Sonni of Gao, an estranged ally harboring his own grudges, as they unite against a shared threat. As Nosaze and Sonni confront mounting challenges, rumors surface linking the masked invader to Nehikhare, shaking Nosaze’s resolve. The story crescendos in battles of epic proportions, including a brutal duel between Sonni and the ruthless King Piye, and the eventual confrontation with Nehikhare’s empire. Themes of loyalty, ambition, and the cost of vengeance drive the characters as they fight for survival and redemption in a world teetering on the edge of collapse.

As the heat between them reaches unbearable levels, they'll have to decide what burns hotter—their need to maintain control, or their desperate hunger for each other.
