I Became Rich by Eating Melons in the Era of Literature (1970s)

  As a melon eater in the new era, Jiang Youtao is like a melon in the melon field. She is there wherever there are melons. So on a thunderstorm night with lightning and rain, she traveled through time and became a poor little girl with the same name in the 1970s.   The poor little girl lost her mother at an early age, and her scumbag father remarried. Not only did she not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, but she also had to do endless housework and endure endless beatings and scolding.   The time when Jiang Youtao traveled through time was the moment when the poor scumbag father forced the original owner to go to the countryside to take over his stepbrother's place in order to have someone to take care of him in his old age and to smash a pot after his death.   Thinking about the environment of hunger and cold in this era, Jiang Youtao's eyes went dark. In the last second before she lost consciousness, a voice appeared in her mind:   [ Ding ~ The melon-eating system is at your service. As long as you complete the melon-eating task, you can exchange it for supplies~~]   In order to have enough food and clothes, Jiang Youtao tried hard, so she ran around in the bloody world that was a fusion of many contemporary literatures, either eating melons or on the way to eat melons.   A certain educated youth from the same educated youth point traveled through time with space supplies, but ended up being a poverty alleviation stepmother;   "The mission is here ~ Watch and mess up the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, and the rewards are: 3 meat buns, 500g beef jerky, 1kg butter melon seeds."   A young wife in the village who had just been married for one day woke up and wanted to divorce her husband and marry her ex-husband's uncle;   "Ding ~ Watch the famous scene of the heroine getting divorced and applaud in public to receive 5kg of rice, 250g of pork, 5 feet of cloth, and 1kg of salt and pepper melon seeds."   The accountant's eldest granddaughter is a well-known lucky bag, while the second granddaughter is a jinx who is plagued by bad luck;   "Ding ~ Watch the jinx star commit suicide and help her, and you will get 5kg of white flour, a chicken drumstick, and 1kg of green tea flavored melon seeds."   Jiang Youtao enjoyed eating melons, and the melon seeds in her hand kept increasing. She had to go out to sell them. Before she knew it, she had made a fortune by selling melon seeds and became a famous roasted food king after the reform and opening up. The courtyard houses in Beijing and the small houses in Haishi were no longer a dream for her. She could go wherever she wanted.   But while she was eating the melon, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. Jiang Youtao reluctantly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him: "Big brother, do you want some melon seeds?" ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ One-sentence summary: There are too many melons, and the melon-eating crowd is very busy.

However, because of a sudden illness, her husband died within a month, and Charlotte's life came to a sudden halt. ‘She became the curse for her husband that he died young.’ ‘She is the one, who killed her husband.’ ‘She should have died with her husband.’ Numerous such things Charlotte would hear from the people around her in the palace when she decided to take her life. However, was it that easy to die? Édouard Bourdillon was the eldest son of King Christian Bourdillon of the Kingdom of Escana. He decided to marry the widow of his late younger brother so that he could take over the Beromont territory which his brother possessed. But was this the only reason he wanted to marry Charlotte? ~~~~~~~~ "What are you doing?" Terrified Charlotte asked as she saw Édouard unbuttoning his shirt. "I am hot, so I am taking off the shirt," Édouard said and reached for the last button. "But it's cold weather," Charlotte said and knitted her brows. "Not here, Charlotte. Your mere presence around me makes me hot," Édouard said and took off the shirt. "Ahhh!" Charlotte quickly brought her hands in front of her eyes and covered them. From the gaps between her fingers, she peeked out of curiosity. A lump formed in her throat as she saw his perfectly carved body with a few scars on the chest and near the abdomen. Charlotte saw him approaching her and she tightly shut her eyes. A few seconds later, when she realized everything was so quiet, she opened her eyes again and found him before her. She promptly moved back and hit the wall behind her. She thought to leave the room when Édouard caged her petite body between his arms. "Are you going to—" "Yes. I want to be wild with you tonight, Little Cherry," Édouard said with a smirk, and the next second, he lifted her in his arms. ~~~~~ *Cover art is mine.

Awakening A New Generation of Hunters

In a world where the boundaries between the supernatural and human heart blur, Zuria and Zoe are two women caught in a war between love, power, and an ever-encroaching darkness that threatens to destroy everything they know. Zuria, once a hopeful soul, is now broken by betrayal. Her heart is chained to Fin, a vampire whose promises of love and power have bound her to a life of torment and manipulation. Possessing the ability to control life energy itself, Zuria's powers grow uncontrollably, fed by the torment of her heart and the dark desires of the man who claims to love her. Trapped in a cycle of abuse, Zuria must confront the horrifying choices laid before her—sacrifice her humanity to survive, or surrender herself to the darkness threatening to consume her from within. With each passing day, the line between love and monstrosity blurs, and Zuria’s desperate need to escape becomes a race against time before she becomes the very monster she’s afraid to become. Zoe, a young woman grieving the sudden deaths of her mother and father, is left adrift in a world that no longer makes sense. Consumed by questions of life and death, she stumbles upon a hidden power within herself, awakening the ability to absorb the life force of nature. But with power comes corruption. As Zoe delves deeper into her newfound abilities, dark forces begin to stir, threatening to unravel her sanity and push her to the brink of self-destruction. As she unlocks the secrets of her power, she discovers a deeper connection to the supernatural world—and to Zuria—than she ever could have imagined. Their fates are bound together, unbeknownst to them, as dark forces from both sides of the supernatural realm collide. Christian, a demon scarred by a past of betrayal, is drawn to Zoe, tasked with protecting her from those who seek to use her as a weapon of destruction. But Zoe’s power is not the only thing that attracts Christian—something deeper, something fated, pulls him toward her. Meanwhile, Loki, the prince of Hell, watches from the shadows, his eyes set on Zuria. He believes her power could tip the balance of the war between Heaven and Hell, and he will stop at nothing to claim her as his own. As the battle lines are drawn, each woman must choose her path. Will Zuria escape the grip of the vampire who holds her heart in chains, or will she embrace the darkness that has taken root within her? Can Zoe harness her power in time to stop the ancient forces closing in on her, or will she be consumed by the darkness threatening to swallow her whole? The world as we know it teeters on the edge of destruction. A war is coming, one that will see realms clash, and forces of light and dark vie for control. Allies will be tested, and betrayals will shape the course of history. In a world of broken promises, blood-soaked contracts, and impossible choices, love will be the greatest weapon, and survival the ultimate prize. Will Zuria and Zoe save the world from the impending war between Olympus and Hell, or will their powers become the very thing that shatters it? In a final battle where every soul is at stake, both women must confront their darkest fears, confront the monsters within, and decide how far they are willing to go to claim their fates. Light and dark, love and betrayal—only one can emerge victorious.

His Possession To Claim

“Yes, suck.” He grinned, his voice as smooth as sin. “Because that is among the fastest ways to drive a man nuts. And the noise that comes after that, the screaming that escapes her–they are a song, a hymn to desire. The body proximity, mmmmh, the twin peaks dangling from the supple art, the writhing, the hard thrusts that will have them begging for more, the rounds they would devour over and over again, his big balls that ejaculates at the peak of a climax and the baby that comes after... in most cases. I think that is why they are scared.” He finished off, whispering the last part. Aria’s life was simple; a medical student, a devoted christian and a future she could control—until the night it all fell apart. Tricked, she found herself saving a wounded man who shouldn’t exist. His presence stirred something primal within her, a pull she didn’t understand and a fear she couldn’t ignore. Bound to him by an invisible thread, she couldn’t escape the intensity of his gaze—or the heat of his touch. But nothing could prepare her for the danger that awaited. Forced to accompany him on a treacherous journey, Aria found herself thrust into the deadly politics of a kingdom ruled by a formidable king and his twin sons—one charming yet distant, the other cruelly intoxicating. Amid whispered secrets and simmering tensions, Aria becomes a pawn in a game far darker than she imagined. “You don’t get to decide my future,” she spat, her defiance flickering like a candle against his towering presence. The King’s lips curved into a slow, dangerous smile. “Your future was decided the moment you walked into my court, Aria. You are mine.” Her pulse quickened as he stepped closer, the rich timbre of his voice rolling over her like a storm. “You will bear my mark, stand by my side, and serve as my queen. Do not mistake this for a choice—it’s an inevitability.” “I would rather die,” she shot back, her voice trembling as his hand tilted her chin to meet his piercing gaze. “Then you’ll die with my name on your lips,” he said, his thumb brushing against her jaw. “You belong to me, and not even death will change that.” The man she travels with hides a past that could shatter her resolve, the twins threaten to unravel her very being, and the king sees her as more than just an advisor—he sees her as a temptation he cannot have. As desire tangles with deception, Aria is drawn deeper into a world of forbidden touches and unspoken truths. In a tale of passion, betrayal, and dark secrets, Aria must fight for her life, her heart, and the truth—before everything she knows burns to ashes.

A King's Legacy

In a seemingly ordinary world governed by a single omnipotent king, the world order is maintained by a formidable military force comprising five branches: the navy, army, coast guard, air force, and marine corps. Commanded by powerful generals unmatched in raw strength, the military's authority extends across the entire globe, constantly in pursuit of individuals known as "Specials." Specials possess extraordinary abilities, and under martial law, they are mandated to forsake their previous lives and join the esteemed military. Those who refuse this fate become hunted runaways or members of the daring rebel alliance, the sole opposition to the military's dominion. The rebel alliance, led by the enigmatic and fearsome Dante, wages an unrelenting struggle against the military's iron grip. However, beneath the surface of this tumultuous world lies an elusive organization responsible for every disaster, shrouded in mystery. Their identity and motives remain unknown, leaving chaos and uncertainty in their wake. Amidst this backdrop of intrigue and strife, a young boy named Christian emerges, fueled by an unyielding determination to reshape the world and claim the title of king for himself. As the world teeters on the brink of collapse, Christian seeks to rise against insurmountable odds, defying the established order and forging a new era. With his sights set on creating a legacy of his own, Christian must confront the shadows that threaten to consume him and unravel the secrets of the hidden organization.

As the battle for power unfolds, only time will tell if Christian can overcome adversity, fulfill his destiny, and shape a future where his name will be remembered throughout history.
