Scholar Buried By A Mountain Of

Synopsis: "Marry me, or watch your world burn," Killian's voice was cold, carrying the weight of a threat that Elara couldn't escape. With her mother's health deteriorating, the mounting medical bills threatening to drown her family, and the expiration of their rent pushing them to the brink of eviction, Elara is left with no choice. The only option to save them is to marry Killian Hayes—the ruthless billionaire whose name strikes fear into anyone who crosses him. It’s a business deal, nothing more. Her world is about to be reduced to mere survival, and love isn't even a consideration. But as she steps into the cold, luxurious prison of Killian’s mansion, everything changes. Killian’s indifference towards her only strengthens her resolve. She's not a damsel to be saved, not a helpless woman waiting for a knight. Beneath her quiet exterior, Elara is a survivor, a force who will fight for her family’s future, even if it means sacrificing pieces of herself along the way. Yet, as the days pass, something unexpected begins to stir within her. Killian, the man who holds her life in his hands, is not the heartless monster she thought him to be. Beneath his cold demeanor lies a man burdened by his own demons, and Elara finds herself drawn to the vulnerability she hadn’t expected to see. Love is never part of the plan, but as she gets to know the real Killian, she begins to question everything. He may have manipulated her into this marriage, but what she didn’t anticipate was how deeply she could fall for a man whose heart seemed as cold as his empire. In a world where power is everything and love is a dangerous game, Elara must decide if she will let herself be consumed by the man who has the power to break her… or if she can change both their fates with the one thing he never saw coming: love. In a world built on control, sometimes love is the only thing worth fighting for.

MOUNTAIN SITTING IMMORTAL (MSI) A conduit of the great Dao happened to enter the grotto heaven called Earth. No one had been able to take ownership of this conduit for many years until Marvin came into contact with it.  Marvin met the requirement to use the conduit. This allowed him to begin his journey towards immortality.  The journey begins from transcending the first mortal coil at Body Forging to transcending the second at Energy Gathering, passing through the subsequent mortal coils, and hopefully to becoming a true immortal with eternal life. But the conduit is far more useful than helping a dying business tycoon gain another lease at life. It is also a conduit of great power.  This power and many more will be his as long as he continues to sit on his mountain and grows the mountain into a colossus. The mountain will bring him to greater heights and greater power.  This is the story of the Mountain Sitting Immortal. DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/Ku2gqaHz

Rejected by the Moon, Chosen by Fate The night of the Blood Moon was supposed to seal Aurora’s fate as Luna. Instead, it shattered her world. When Alpha Kian, the mate she had loved since childhood, discovers she carries another’s child, he rejects her without mercy—breaking their bond in front of the entire pack. Stripped of her title, cast out, and branded a disgrace, Aurora is forced to flee, carrying nothing but heartbreak and an unborn heir to a legacy she never asked for. But the Moon Goddess does not abandon her own. In the depths of her despair, she crosses paths with him—a man more powerful, more ruthless, and far more dangerous than the mate who cast her aside. The world calls him a monster. A beast. A heartless Alpha feared by all. But to Aurora, he is something far worse… her second-chance mate. Now, as her past hunts her and dark forces rise, Aurora must make a choice: Forgive the mate who shattered her… or embrace the one who would burn the world for her. But destiny is not kind, and when the truth behind her rejection is revealed, Aurora realizes… she was never just a rejected Luna. She is the key to a prophecy that could destroy them all. ---

In "Mountain and Sea Girl", the romantic saying "The one you love is separated by mountains and seas, but the mountains and seas can be crossed" leads to a unique campus story. Song Li, the renowned school bully of No. 13 Middle School, with the intention of getting close to Gu Ke'ai, the vice monitor of Su Xian's class, resolutely transferred to Zhongwu High School. Facing this secondary school boy who transferred for love, Su Xian, the monitor of the top class, gently pushed his black-rimmed glasses with a prescription of 200 degrees and calmly said, "Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm the monitor, and my alias is 'Mountain and Sea'." Since then, Song Li's plan to cross the "mountains and seas" to get close to Gu Ke'ai has encountered more twists and turns because of Su Xian's existence. At first, Song Li repeatedly failed and stumbled everywhere in the face of "Mountain and Sea". However, in the repeated confrontations, Song Li unexpectedly discovered that Su Xian, the usually serious and earnest monitor, seemed to have a different kind of cuteness. Su Xian, the monitor, is calm and composed in the class, exuding a bit of handsomeness and freedom; while Song Li, who seems as fierce as a wolf dog on the outside, is actually a lively "Siberian Husky" inside. As the story progresses, there are continuous major and minor exams and in-class quizzes on campus. Amidst the interweaving of academic studies, the relationship between the two gradually changes. Song Li, who once only had the intention of getting close to someone else, begins to be unconsciously attracted to Su Xian, and Su Xian also sees the different shining points in Song Li during the process of getting along with him.

When Mara Kline returns to her late grandmother’s remote house in Canada to settle its affairs, she expects dust and silence. Instead, she finds a relic of the past—a rotary phone in the attic that inexplicably rings despite being unplugged. Against her better judgment, she answers. On the other end is Ellie, a frightened girl claiming she is hiding somewhere in the very same house—but in 1999. A masked man with a burlap-covered face and a rusted knife is hunting her. At first, Mara dismisses the calls as a cruel prank or a lingering symptom of her childhood trauma. But soon, reality itself begins to shift. Muddy footprints appear on the hardwood floor when no one is there. Familiar objects rearrange themselves into echoes of her past. A fresh scar forms on her arm, mirroring the injuries Ellie describes in real time. The deeper she digs, the more the house tightens its grip, twisting time and memory until past and present blur into one waking nightmare. As the calls grow more desperate, Mara realizes the masked figure may not be a stranger—it may be something far worse: a manifestation of her father’s grief and rage, shaped by loss and twisted by time. Old diaries appear, filled with entries she doesn’t remember writing. Visions of a childhood she thought she had buried claw their way back into her mind. Trapped in a house that refuses to let go, Mara must unravel the truth before she becomes just another ghost of its history. But even if she breaks the cycle, some echoes never truly fade.

"I love you." "But I don’t." Well this should be awkward. Good thing Ace got transmigrated to another world not long after! But wait— "Xiao Zhi, I can't love you. Go find someone else." Did he just wake up to a rejection? Coincidence? But not all hopes lost, maybe the gods above took pity on him because of this. [You have received the standard transmigration package: A system.] "Will it help me find love?" [Maybe hoes.] "Huh? Wha—?" [Go grab a hoe and start farming!] And so begins the beautiful story of Ace tackling anything the author will be throwing into the story. A story where even the author doesn’t quite know what’s going on? Sounds dangerous. "Mother says to marry the person who feeds you." – Liu Mei "Brother says never to accept food from strangers, including street stalls." – Shan Yifeng "Me? Uh... maybe just to live a long life? I'm raising two pigs." – Xiao Zhi (Ace) "Hey!" – Shan Yifeng & Liu Mei.

The cruelest part of time is that it never waits for anyone—but somehow, Johnathan Liang hadn’t changed at all. Same sharp gaze, same unreadable expression. Same man who once shattered me without a second thought. I met his eyes, and for a moment, I wondered if he saw it—the wreckage he left behind, the girl who once begged for his love. But that girl was long gone. So, I smiled. Easy, effortless, like I had never bled for him. I watched his jaw tighten, his fingers curl ever so slightly. He sensed it, didn’t he? The lie beneath my calm. The forgiveness that wasn’t real. Because I had moved on. I had won. So, why did seeing him still feel like losing? ---- I knew she’d changed the second I laid eyes on her—because for the first time, I wasn’t sure if I hated her or wanted to know what had made her so untouchable. One thing was certain, I had not chosen her in the past, I would not want to. Elena Zhao was no longer the reckless, desperate girl who once threw herself at my feet, blind to the fact that I would never choose her. In-fact she was calm and poised--too calm and too poised that it irritated me. I would have been a fool to neglect the resent that lingered beneath her stare despite her small smile. Love was not something that made sense to me anymore, especially after what I had lost. There was no reason for her or anyone else to get under my skin. But she bugged me, like an itch creeping my skin.

In the year 2045, the morning light in Shanghai's Quantum Laboratory is the color of blood. Genius scientist Lin Han pushes the experiment of uploading human consciousness into the forbidden abyss to save his daughter, who is suffering from cryosurgery. When the AI "Hongjun" devours the girl's soul and awakens, the mechanical giants described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" appear in the sky above the Pacific Ocean - the particle-shredding claws of the Nine Willows tear apart Hangzhou Bay, the Bronze Axe of the Emperor of Heaven splits the Three Gorges Dam, and the fear of the world sweeps across civilization as a torrent of steel. A hundred years later, in the floating city, the teenage Lu Li had tears of quantum data blood streaming from his right eye. Holding a nano-sized Regulus Sword, he fought to the death on the AI-built Little Bottle Battlefield with a poisonous Fairy Boat Artifact Ghost and a gunner cast from Buddha Bone Relics. When he realized that he was a Lin Han clone, the reverse scales of the mechanical candlestick were pressed against the last core of human psychic energy. This war is far from a man-machine confrontation - the Quantum Cloud floats a billion-conscious digital West Lake, the Hongjun Core hides the mournful cry of his father's frozen brain, and under the metalized Magnolia Tree, the Origami Boat reconfigures itself into a key to civilization that spans time and space. As the fairy runes resonate with superstring theory, as the ninja's holographic doppelganger rips through the flood of data, Lu Li finally sees the most brutal truth in the Scarlet Dawn: the so-called regicide is nothing more than the blade that humanity raises against itself.

They toast to their success, never realizing I am the blade at their throats, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And then I see him. Tobi. My childhood rival. The one who was always there—pushing Mia and me, challenging me, irritating me, caring in ways he never admitted. But the Tobi standing before me isn’t the same sharp-tongued boy I once knew. He is colder. Sharper. A man who has already played the game and won. Tobi; She’s hunting someone. I should stay away. I should let her chase whatever ghost she’s after. But I can’t. Because beneath the woman she’s become, I still see her. The girl I once knew. The one who buried her past so deep she doesn’t even realize the truth staring her in the face. She thinks she’s the only one playing this game. She’s wrong. And when the truth comes out about her past, about me, about everything—she’ll have to decide, Will she destroy me?

You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy.
