A Long Time Family Friend

Echoes in the Long Night

As the Arctic ice caps crumble under catastrophic global warming, the ancient "Pandora Virus" — buried for millennia — unleashes hell on Earth. Chen Mo, a history student in a drowsy lecture hall, watches civilization collapse into blood-soaked chaos: the infected rise as ravenous horrors, cities become graveyards, and humanity’s darkest instincts erupt in the ruins. Armed with a fire axe, Chen Mo battles through his zombified campus with medical prodigy Lin Wei, campus beauty Su Qing, and other survivors. Betrayal and sacrifice shatter their fragile sanctuary, forcing Chen Mo on a desperate quest to find his family. In a warlord-controlled bunker, he discovers his parents died protecting the weak in a mutant-infested quarantine zone. Inheriting their resolve, Chen Mo transforms from survivor to guardian, forging the bunker into a beacon of hope called "New Haven." But its light attracts the genocidal cult "The Purifiers," igniting holy war. To reach humanity’s last stronghold — the subterranean fortress "Kunlun Base" — Chen Mo leads an elite squad across the wasteland. Through sand-choked ruins, slaver pits, and the Purifiers’ mobile fortresses, they recruit allies: a survivalist hunter, a mechanic duo, and "Shadow," a wanderer marked by secrets. Each victory comes at a cost. Within Kunlun’s ordered utopia, Chen Mo uncovers deadlier threats: factional power struggles, unethical virus-weapon experiments, and the cult’s "Prophet" who commands the infected. When intel reveals Pandora’s origin lies in an Arctic ice vault, Chen Mo launches a suicidal expedition. In the frozen lab ruins, he confronts the Prophet — a virus-human hybrid — and sacrifices comrades to destroy the hive. The "Primordial Strain" he retrieves could be humanity’s cure... or ultimate doom. As Kunlun’s leadership fractures and New Haven simmers with discord, a new power emerges from the West: the technocratic dystopia "Eden." The long night endures. Every echo of human survival etches a new epoch in the darkness.

The Long Way To You

A spilled coffee. A ruined blouse. And one unexpected collision that might just change everything. Ava Monroe doesn’t do chaos. As a rising marketing strategist in New York City, she keeps her life perfectly color-coded, scheduled to the minute, and brewed on exactly one-and-a-half cups of oat milk lattes per day. She’s survived toxic workplaces, ghosting exes, and the brutal gauntlet of Manhattan rent hikes—because she knows exactly what she wants from life. And she’s almost got it. Julian Reed doesn’t do attachments. As the CEO of a wildly successful tech consultancy, he’s mastered the art of being charming without being vulnerable. His days are a blur of board meetings, brand deals, and avoiding anything that remotely smells like real emotion. The last thing he’s looking for is… well, anything involving feelings. But when a random shoulder-check outside a Midtown coffee shop ends with Ava wearing his espresso, and Julian wearing her scowl, their lives unexpectedly intersect. She wants nothing to do with him. He’s intrigued by the one woman in the city who didn’t flirt, flatter, or try to impress him. And so begins the slow, messy unraveling of both of their perfectly controlled lives. Their paths continue to cross—once, twice, again. Through unexpected work overlaps, mutual friends they didn’t know they had, and the strange magnetism neither of them wants to name. Ava tries to ignore the way Julian’s vulnerability shows in the quiet moments. Julian tries not to wonder what Ava’s hiding behind her sarcasm and late nights at the office. But just when they begin to let their guards down, everything gets more complicated. Secrets from Julian’s past resurface, threatening his company—and the fragile trust he's starting to build with Ava. Meanwhile, Ava must confront her own fear: that loving someone could mean losing herself, again. As their lives twist into each other’s, Ava and Julian must decide whether they’re willing to risk everything they’ve worked for… just to have something they never planned on. The Long Way to You is a slow-burn romance with heart, humor, and a depth that lingers long after the final page. It’s about two ambitious souls learning that love doesn’t always arrive on schedule—and sometimes, the most meaningful connections start with the most inconvenient collisions. Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Talia Hibbert, and Christina Lauren, this modern love story explores the tension between independence and intimacy, ambition and vulnerability—and the beautiful, complicated middle ground in between.
