Quail Ridge

Forget the quirky nose! Need a heartfelt note, steamy text, or a grand apology that will make your partner overlook that awkward pause when you asked, "Does this outfit suit me?" Well, Emily has just the solution. But when her most frequent client, the irresistibly charming (or perhaps just charmingly irritating?) Jack Carter approaches her with a unique request, Emily soon realizes that three little words can lead to one big mess. Jack isn’t looking for help to woo another model this time; he wants Emily's expertise to rekindle a romance with his high school sweetheart (aka, his one true love) – and he’s willing to pay handsomely for her help. Add to the mix a summer getaway to the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, where the vibes are reminiscent of ‘Dirty Dancing’ mixed with flirty banter, and this matchmaker finds herself in over her head – and unexpectedly smitten with the last person she anticipated. Can Emily craft the perfect words to navigate her own feelings? Or will this love story take a disastrous turn?

The Steppeborn: The Art of War and the Broken Path The steppe was never conquered. It was unmade. The Orontai rode like wind across the grasslands, their breath bound to sky and silence, not cities or thrones. But the Zhong Empire came with iron phalanxes and talismans of fire. They did not bring war. They brought extinction. Altan was born to that vanishing. A child without elemental gift. Voiceless. Spirit-null. Unwanted. Yet when the Zhong burned the clans, he did not beg. He fought. And when his mother, the last Flamecaller, stood alone on the ridge and whispered “Run,” he obeyed. Not to survive. But to remember. Hunted and broken, he fled west to the edge of the world, a place left blank on every chart, not out of myth, but because no one who entered ever returned. There, in the forbidden abyss known only in old blood and older fear, he fell into something deeper than legend. A chasm where cultivation dies and pain speaks. When he returned, the war had changed. But so had he. As phalanx legions rise and empires tighten their grip, a different kind of war begins. Formations clash in passes narrow as memory. Shields lock. Spears break. Blood spills in the thousands. There are no gods here. No destiny. Only discipline, silence, and the will to endure. And the storm no longer comes from the sky. It rises from the chasm.

In the forgotten corner of the empire lies Emerald Ridge City, a place where spiritual energy is thin and ambition thinner. Here, the weak are trampled beneath the boots of the three clans clawing for scraps of power. In this city lives Lian Xue, a blind girl born into the Lian Clan — a girl considered a burden to her family name and deemed worthless in all aspects. Her life only becomes worse when her family informs her of her engagement to Young Master Jin — a lecherous, cruel heir to a merchant-cultivator clan. The match is nothing more than a transaction. The Jin Clan seeks access to the Lotus Palm, a modest art that, while dismissed by the greater world, happens to be the strongest technique in a city as insignificant as Emerald Ridge. The Lian Clan, desperate to improve its fortunes and end years of grudges, sees the marriage as a way to secure an answer to both problems. Lian Xue is simply the price — an unwanted girl offered up for convenience. Shattered by the news, Lian Xue ventures into the Emerald Mountains with only one wish: that some lurking beast will end her wretched life. Either fortunately or unfortunately for her, fate had other plans. She discovers a pool of blood — one that will change her life forever. What begins as a struggle to survive soon becomes the first step on a path paved with treachery, sect wars, ancient secrets, and the endless hunger of powers that were never meant for mortal hands. With every drop of blood she claims, the question grows sharper: Is Lian Xue mastering these dark powers… or are they mastering her? In a world where strength is truth and the heavens turn a blind eye, the blind maiden will make them all see through the veil of crimson she weaves.

Welcome to Eteliria, the Kingdom above the floating clouds. Let us push open the Gateway, pick up our staffs, and the adventure will begin from here— Through the hills of clouds and seas, like floating grass, the shallow rivers gleam; Across the meadows flowing with gold and honey, filled with laughter, beneath Rodell's cottages, a gentle song drifts.

The tale of a boy chasing his dreams, above the sky and cloud ridges, the Giant Dragon's Shadow, soaring with outstretched wings. And after time has been sealed away, the hearth fire still burns bright.

When every human on Earth is forcibly transported to a massive, unknown world, they awaken not as citizens—but as rulers. Each person is assigned a sovereign domain: an island, a volcanic ridge, a glacial plain, a jungle basin, or even crumbling ruins atop a floating plateau. Each begins surrounded by a primitive yet unique non-human tribe sworn to them by force of the world’s laws. Each is granted a Starter Pack, a ruined but restorable set of core structures, and one truth burned into their minds: “Rule. Or fall.” Thirty days of inviolable protection. Then the Blood Moon will rise, and with it, judgment. Every monarch must rebuild, organize, and survive on terrain both alien and unforgiving. Hunting outside the barrier is dangerous. Resources are limited. Other rulers are out there—unknown, unseen, potentially aligned or already at war. But one man—Riku, dropped into a jagged highland crater with a fierce tribe of Fireborn Draganoids—has something none of the others received: A silent, hidden system that multiplies his resources, structures, weapons, and warriors—but only the things he truly owns. He tells no one. He posts no messages in global chat. He does not seek allies. While the world fumbles for footing, Riku builds toward an invisible dominance. And when the Blood Moon rises, his name will be ranked where none expected.

Meili is a once-in-a-generation beauty raised in secrecy in the inner courtyards.

The secret's revealed when 3 peeping Tom’s get more than they bargained for spying on the 'ugly sister' bathing. The perverts are best friends, a young commander, the second prince, and an admired poet, and the 3 young men compete fiercely for her affections. As Meili emerges from 16 years in seclusion, her deeply rooted body dysmorphia has hilarious consequences as she misreads her interactions with men and proves to be a far more complex puzzle to woo than any of them are equipped for. A cdrama romcom where a young girl is a glittering prize trying her hardest not to be won. [#teen #lovequadrangle #historicalromance #romcom #chinesedrama #sweetromance] EXTRACT: Meili slipped out of her robe and sat on a ledge in the warm pool. Her long black hair cascaded down her back, tiny silver bells tinkled as she moved. It felt wonderful to be free of her chest binding. It was starting to get quite painful. She didn't dare stop wearing it in case it encouraged her already disconcertingly large breasts to keep expanding. It was onto this scene that the Commander, the Prince and the poet happened, as they soundlessly raised their heads above the peaked roofline. For a full minute not one of them moved or breathed. Her long hair covered her generous curves, allowing tantalising glimpses. She reached behind her neck to push back her hair. Commander Bai, realising what was about to happen, clamped each of his hands firmly over the eyes of the Prince and Tan Bowen. A fight broke out on the ridge-line as the men clawed and scratched in a panicked attempt to see what came next. Meili looked up in fright, just as the commander forcefully pushed his two friends, sliding them down the steep rooftop. For just a split second, the eyes of Commander Bai and Meili met.

Nayantara: She was a whisper in the biting Himalayan wind, a stark white anomaly against the desolate canvas of snow and ash. Nayantara moved with a grace that defied the treacherous terrain, a fluid, almost ethereal descent from the ridge that spoke of training beyond mortal limits. Clad in a flowing white dress, edged with the shimmer of intricate golden patterns, she appeared less a creature of flesh and blood and more a spectral guardian of the frozen heights. A stylized golden motif blazed upon her back, catching the weak sunlight like an otherworldly sigil. Her face remained an enigma, concealed behind a white cloth, leaving only two piercing eyes to observe the ravaged landscape with an unnerving intensity. In those eyes, one could glimpse a sharp focus, a depth of understanding that hinted at abilities far beyond the conventional, a power she herself referred to as her "special eyes." She was a solitary figure, a silent operative, moving with purpose and an unspoken connection to forces unseen. Her very presence in this desolate place suggested a mission of profound importance, a delicate probe into the heart of a devastating mystery.

In the frostbitten north, whispers drift on the wind—of a masked wanderer with a fox-like grin, twin blades flashing like winter lightning, carving a path toward an unspoken crown. Beneath the frozen lake, an old brute with silver hair gnaws on raw meat, his laughter echoing through the depths. A toothless servant shuffles in the shadows, a sword-box strapped to his bent back, its contents rattling with secrets. High atop a jagged peak, a young sage rides a dusty green ox, gazing at the world below with eyes too old for his face, yet he never steps beyond the ridge. And somewhere in the wild, a girl with a sunflower slung over her shoulder rides a hulking beast, her smile warm as summer, her hands cold with blood. In a realm where snow buries the past and storms herald the future, their paths are destined to cross—but for glory, vengeance, or something darker still? The wind knows, but it keeps its silence.
