Shenzhen

Lu Kai, a 22-year-old delivery driver scraping by in the glittering, cutthroat city of Shenzhen, lives a life of grinding poverty and unfulfilled dreams. Humiliated by a chance encounter with Zhang Wei, a wealthy ex-classmate who mocks his lowly status, Lu Kai’s frustration reaches a breaking point. But fate intervenes when a mysterious force awakens the Karma Vault System in his mind, granting him the power to earn Karma Points through acts of genuine kindness. These points can be spent to manipulate destiny—boosting his own luck, unlocking extraordinary skills, or even casting minor curses on others. Each choice, however, risks a karmic backlash, where the universe might exact a price for his actions.As Lu Kai experiments with the system, he discovers that small deeds—like helping a struggling street vendor or standing up to a bully—yield not only points but also tangible rewards: money, charisma, and even glimpses of supernatural abilities. Yet, the allure of using the system for personal gain tempts him to bend its rules, especially when Zhang Wei’s taunts and a web of elite socialites pull him into Shenzhen’s high-stakes world of wealth and power. With each decision, Lu Kai must balance kindness with cunning, navigating a city where ambition and morality collide.Guided by the enigmatic voice of the Karma Vault, Lu Kai’s journey transforms him from a nobody into a player in a cosmic game. But as his influence grows, he uncovers hints that the system may be tied to ancient Chinese mysticism—or something far more dangerous. Will Lu Kai use his newfound power to uplift others, settle scores, or carve out a legacy in a city that chews up dreamers? In a world where every good deed could be a gambit, Lu Kai is Fortune’s Pawn—and the stakes are higher than he could ever imagine.

From the bustling financial city of Shenzhen, Lin Yi, a genius of economics who deeply understands money—from old bartering, the shine of gold, to the weakness of fiat currency—wakes up in the body of a minor villainess in a Korean otome novel with a European Duke/Duchess setting. Her new name is Lady Madea Volkov. In this world of magic swords and mana, where power is tracked by a simple system (though Madea doesn't get quests and just "stacks" levels), Lin Yi's huge goals remain: absolute wealth, immortality, eternal youth, and endless power. She sees this new world as a massive chessboard. With a brain that can break down how even the smartest CEOs work and a tongue as sharp as a CIA agent's for persuasion, she'll dig into every plot detail of the novel, every financial trick, and every secret of power. What's more, she'll exploit the system itself, taking 90% of the experience points from every subordinate, monster killed, and quest completed by others, to speed up her own rise. However, her plan gets complicated when she meets the novel's original heroine, Lady Elara Roseline, who has also been transmigrated by Kang Minji. This starts a thrilling game of financial cat-and-mouse and complex plots that shake the very foundations of this new world. Lin Yi isn't just a jealous villainess; she is the Empress of Fiat, ready to rewrite destiny with a golden pen.

Li Mei is a young software engineer in Shenzhen, whose life is a constant cycle of endless code, demanding deadlines, and the big hopes of her family back in the village. She's a mirror image of millions of young people in China: hardworking, practical, and often quite tired. Her daily routine is simple: instant coffee, crowded subway rides, and long hours at a futuristic office. In the fast-paced rush of the city, Mei just dreams of financial stability and a little bit of free time. But everything changes during a strange accident. A server explosion involving ancient artifacts—secretly discovered—sends Li Mei's soul hurtling through time. She wakes up in the body of Princess Consort Xiu Luan, a woman in the ancient Zhou Dynasty known for being graceful, quiet, and obedient, but whose hidden intelligence is often underestimated. In this new world, palace intrigues are far more deadly than modern corporate politics. Mei, with her engineer's practical and logical mind, has to adapt to a world ruled by complex etiquette, ancient prophecies, and brutal power struggles between concubines and noble families. She quickly realizes that Xiu Luan's body is just a pawn in a cruel game, where princes fight for the throne, and women are merely tools. At the same time, in the very same palace, there's Grand Empress An Ru. She's a woman feared for her cold, emotionless power and sharp intellect. An Ru is the main architect behind the palace's many schemes, pulling the strings of fate from behind the scenes. She looks down on other women and only cares about absolute power. But Grand Empress An Ru herself is trapped by a destiny tied to her bloodline—she's the only one with the power to summon ancient entities, and this power curses her soul. This story is about two women caught in a predetermined destiny who find strength in each other. Mei, in Xiu Luan's body, must use her modern logic to understand the schemes and manipulate situations, while realizing that An Ru's strength and resilience might be their only way out. As they are forced to interact and ally against greater forces—both within the palace and mystical threats—they begin to understand each other. Mei sees the burden behind An Ru's cruelty, and An Ru starts to see the potential in Xiu Luan's suddenly intelligent, "strange" way of thinking. The novel will explore themes like the clash of cultures and time, power and sacrifice, and identity and destiny being rewritten. It's a story about how an "ordinary" modern woman finds unexpected strength within herself and changes an ancient destiny through friendship, and perhaps a deeper bond, with a woman who was initially considered an enemy. I hope this version is easier to understand! Let me know if you'd like any other parts translated or explained.

Synopsis of Ashes of Prosperity: The Hidden Costs of China's Economic Rise by Patel Ajhar Gulamkadar... In the sweeping novel Ashes of Prosperity, Patel Ajhar Gulamkadar unveils the untold story behind China's meteoric economic rise — not through the lens of GDP numbers and towering skyscrapers, but through the lives of those left behind in the shadows of progress. From the smog-choked factories of Guangzhou to the glistening tech hubs of Shenzhen, the narrative follows the intersecting fates of workers, economists, entrepreneurs, and displaced villagers. Each chapter reveals a new face of transformation — both hopeful and haunting. A young factory girl discovers her wage is the price of her health. A former farmer becomes a reluctant real estate tycoon. A Western economist must confront the moral cost of the prosperity he once praised. With vivid prose and painstaking realism, Gulamkadar explores the environmental degradation, social upheaval, and emotional toll that come with unchecked development. This is not just a novel about economics — it is a human story of ambition, sacrifice, and the quiet voices drowned out in the roar of industrial engines. Ashes of Prosperity is a powerful, thought-provoking tale that questions the true cost of wealth — and whether a nation can rise without something vital burning in its wake.
