The Phoenix Illusion A Spi Files

Li Huowang is a man caught between two worlds-one a sterile modern psychiatric ward where he's labeled delusional, the other a grotesque ancient realm dominated by dark Daoist alchemy and a tyrannical master obsessed with immortality. In the modern world, Li struggles with his sanity, haunted by vivid hallucinations and tethered to reality only by a childhood friend's unwavering support. But when the ancient world calls, he is forced into a harrowing existence, serving as an unwilling apprentice to Dan Yangzi, a ruthless master who uses human lives to fuel his monstrous experiments. As the lines between the two worlds blur, Li faces impossible choices. Is the ancient realm a figment of his damaged mind, or is the hospital an illusion designed to shield him from unspeakable truths? Torn between rebellion and self-preservation, Li must unravel the mysteries of his existence while confronting the horrors of both realities. With morally complex characters, a richly atmospheric setting, and a gripping dual-reality narrative, Illusive Realms: The Dao of Madness challenges readers to question the boundaries of sanity and the price of freedom. Perfect for fans of dark fantasy and psychological thrillers, this is a haunting tale of survival, identity, and the indomitable human spirit.

Tang Rouxi was once the feared shadow of the underworld, moving through the darkness with deadly precision. But now? She’s pregnant. Again. With her second child on the way, Han Longwei, the powerful and ruthless business mogul, is no longer the terrifying mafia boss feared by many—he's now a devoted wife slave. “Xixi, we already have a boy. I hope it’s a girl this time.” Longwei leans in, his deep voice filled with longing. “I want a miniature you—so cute and beautiful, just like you.” Their three-year-old son sits nearby, arms crossed, his little mind already working on a plan. Father is always stealing Mommy’s attention! If a little sister comes, won't that mean even less time with his mommy? Unacceptable. Tang Rouxi watches from the sidelines, mad giggles bubbling up. Between her moody pregnancy demands, a jealous little son, and a dangerously smitten husband, life in the underworld has never been this chaotic.

In the early days of the Qing dynasty, the last great empire of China, a love that was never meant to be shook the throne. Bai Haofeng—a man of no title, no wealth, nothing but devotion—dared to love the emperor’s daughter. Against all laws, against all consequences, he took her hand and ran. But love was not enough to fight fate. They were hunted, torn apart, and branded as traitors. Yet, from that forbidden love, a child was born. Longzhuang. A child unlike any other. Born with one crimson eye and one jade green, he was feared from the moment he opened his eyes. The people called him cursed. A demon-born. A sign of disaster. But Bai Haofeng saw the truth—his son was meant for something far greater. Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was something far older, far more powerful. A soul that had lived a thousand lives. Each time he was reborn, he forgot. But his body remembered. His power could not be erased—the ability to summon storms, command fire, bend nature itself. And when his rage grew too great, when his human form could no longer hold him—his true self would awaken. Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was a dragon. And he saw what others could not. The past. The present. The future. Through eyes that were feared and hated, he glimpsed destiny before it could unfold. He saw love before it arrived. He saw betrayal before it struck. He saw death before it came. Yet, no matter how many times he watched fate weave its threads, he had never been able to cut them. Because even a dragon could not escape fate. The Red String had already tied him to her. Chun Guiying—a woman the world called a courtesan. A woman owned by others. A woman he could never claim. But the moment their eyes met, the string tightened. She was bound to him, as he was bound to her. Yet, love had never been kind to those who defied fate. Just as his father’s love shattered an empire, Longzhuang’s love could bring ruin to everything. Now, enemies lurk in the shadows, the past threatens to repeat, and fate has begun to tighten its grip. Will Longzhuang finally break the curse that has followed him for lifetimes? Or will history repeat once more? ---

100 Years after the virus happend the population was split Into Three differnt gropps the Mages, Beasts and Humans. Art was a human but when Art one day got a system he could fit in with all the gropps and his life changed

One hand pointing to the sky, the other to the earth. She looked past heaven and earth only to face her own face . The day she had been betrayed by her lover was the day she fell to the abyss of hell. In a world where demons and gods existed, he had now became a demon, a demon with eyes that no longer looked at her with love, but only a deep burning hatred. Now, all she saw when she closed her eyes was the look on his face when she had stabbed his heart with the dagger he had gifted her. Gods and demons were the symbolization of a stark contrast of polar opposites. She was not allowed to love him, just as he was not allowed to see her. They were never allowed to be together in the first place, and in the midst of being swayed by the words of others, she had forever wounded the heart of her beloved that had trusted her with his life. Just like that, while her body was still in heaven, her heart had already succumbed to the depths of hell. Standing at the edge of the cliff, she turned back to look at his face that was void of any emotions. To ask for forgiveness had never been an option for her in the past or in the present, for who was she to ask for forgiveness when her life had completely become a mess? The only thing she hoped was for him to forget her, to forget all the time they had spent together, all the memories they had shared. If that could lessen the pain in his heart, she could deal with the sins that stained her soul. Offering him a gentle smile, she took out the dagger he gave her, not noticing the sudden change of look in his eyes. I'll experience all the pain I have done onto you, all the sufferings you went through. Stabbing herself with the dagger, she fell from heaven into hell like the wisps of the first snowflake that graced the earth every winter. If only she had looked back, she would have seen his hand reaching out to her desperately as if she was the light in his darkness. For him, she was willing to die not only once but many times.
