Living Failures

Living in Her Shadow For as long as she can remember, she has been invisible — a name forgotten, a voice overlooked — living in the radiant glow of her best friend, Christabel. With fair skin, hazel eyes, and cascading wavy curls, Christabel is effortlessly captivating. Everyone wants to know her. Everyone wants to be her. And standing beside her all these years has turned her into a ghost. But something is changing. After years of shrinking herself to fit into the margins of someone else’s story, she begins to step away — quietly at first, then boldly. As she navigates a world where she’s no longer just the girl “next to Christabel,” she discovers a voice of her own, an identity worth seeing, and the painful truth that sometimes friendship and jealousy can live side by side. Living in Her Shadow is a deeply personal coming-of-age story about self-discovery, quiet rebellion, and the fight to be seen — not as someone’s sidekick, but as a main character in your own life. ---

If he wanted to boss around, he could do whatever he wanted. I would continue to farm, but if he tried to attack me, then he would not live to see another day. Zhao Hai was a shut-in until he was transmigrated to another world with a farm and taken over the body of a fallen noble. The land that the noble had was one that could not grow anything. He also had a fiance who was the heir to a principality. To make matters even worse, he was talentless in martial arts and magic where he couldn’t even learn both. “So what if I can’t do magic? I have my farm. Let’s see you try and attack me! I’ll let my bugs out to devour all of your military rations! I’ll put pesticides in your water source and grow weeds on your land! Let’s see you try and attack me after that!” “What? You’ll hire assassins to kill me? Try and do that when I’m hiding inside my farmhouse. Once that is over, I’ll rid your country of all your food sources! Your citizens will come after you instead of you coming after me!” The shut-in had a slightly foul personality. This is a story of how he, and his farm, became a nightmare to the people of a world of swords and magic.

On the forgotten world of Baedakar, life is a daily struggle against stone, scarcity, and the invisible hand of oppression. The villagers toil in the shadow of a galaxy that has left them behind, their every attempt at progress quietly sabotaged by forces they cannot see. While most accept the world as it is, a few begin to notice the patterns the subtle failures, the stifled ambitions, the sense that something, or someone, is holding them back. When a wandering outsider arrives, bringing rare knowledge and a hunger for lost truths, a small group of villagers is drawn together by curiosity, loyalty, and the quiet ache for something more. Their search for answers leads them deep beneath Baedakar’s surface, where they uncover evidence of deliberate sabotage and a hidden network of surveillance. The truth is more unsettling than they imagined their world is a mask, its people pawns in a greater game orchestrated by shadows. As the group races to expose the conspiracy, they must decide whom to trust and how far to go for the hope of freedom. Their journey will test the bonds of friendship and the limits of courage, as they risk everything to carry the truth beyond Baedakar’s walls. But the Council’s reach is long, and the galaxy’s indifference is deep. The first spark of rebellion is lit, and the fate of many may rest on the choices of a few who dare to question the darkness.

I yawned, fighting off sleep as my professor droned on about the three-body problem—even though it was notoriously unsolvable. 'Geez, why do we need to learn this?' I thought, shaking my head. Suddenly, a holographic screen materialized before my eyes, its message slicing through the monotony: "Moonfall Has Begun. Your Class Has Been Assigned.” I glanced around, and saw confused faces all over—everyone staring, just as bewildered as I was. 'Does everyone see this?' I wondered, my heart starting to pound. My screen flickered, then declared in bold: Main Class: Astral Equationist. Before I could process any further, a piercing scream shattered the classroom’s uneasy silence. I barely had time to register the sound as chaos erupted around me. https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

She was the only "useless disciple" in their entire sect, yet her six genius senior brothers doted on her fiercely. The whole cultivation world burned with envy. Her prodigious brothers cherished her like rare gems, always drawing their swords first to shield her from any threat. All she wanted to shout was: "Senior brothers, I can handle this myself! I could single-handedly defeat ten enemies!" Being called weak felt utterly unjust. How could she convince everyone she wasn’t trash—that she was actually terrifyingly strong? The most powerful cultivator in the realm murmured tenderly: "I believe you. I’ll always believe in you." (A satisfying tale featuring a formidable, charismatic, and stunning female lead!)
