Neon and Longing is an urban tale of self-discovery and heartache set against the pulsating backdrop of a modern metropolis. The story follows Lena, a young woman who leaves behind a small-town life in pursuit of a dazzling career and the excitement of city living. Amid the luminous glow of neon signs and the endless rhythm of urban nights, Lena is drawn into a world of glamour, ambition, and fleeting connections. As she navigates her new environment, Lena encounters both the breathtaking promise of success and the stark realities of isolation in a city that never sleeps. Her journey is marked by moments of unexpected romance, challenging betrayals, and profound introspection. While the city offers a canvas of opportunities and dreams, it also forces her to confront her inner void—a deep-seated longing for genuine connection and meaning beyond superficial allure. In the heart of urban chaos, Lena learns that the neon lights, though mesmerizing, cannot mask the truths of loneliness and the quest for identity. With every twist of fate, she discovers that real fulfillment comes not from the glittering facades of modern life but from embracing vulnerability, forging sincere relationships, and daring to be authentically herself. "Neon and Longing" is a reflective exploration of the contrasts between ambition and inner peace, capturing the delicate dance of modern femininity in a relentlessly vibrant world.

Legacy of the Celestial Mark (A Tale of Gods, Betrayal, and Redemption) Volume I: Rise of the Fallen God In a world where divine rule shapes the fate of mortals and demons alike, Long Tian, once the celestial prince of the Heavenly Realm, is betrayed by his own brother, Long Xie, the ruler of the Demonic Realm. Framed for treason and cast into the Mortal Realm, Long Tian is stripped of his divine power and forced to live as a mere human. Yet, fate has other plans. Through countless battles, Long Tian slowly regains his lost strength, uncovering the truth of his past and his divine lineage. As he ascends once more, he unlocks the power of the Supreme Celestial Dragon, becoming the Emperor of Creation and the ruler of the Six Realms. Meanwhile, Long Xie wages a devastating war, determined to reshape the world in his own vision. Their inevitable clash shakes the heavens, culminating in a final battle that rewrites destiny itself. With the fate of existence hanging by a thread, Long Tian unleashes his ultimate divine power to defeat his brother, but Long Xie’s soul refuses to vanish. Instead, it lingers, finding an unexpected refuge—within Long Tian himself. Volume II: The Shadow Within With the war seemingly over and peace restored, Long Tian ascends as the undisputed ruler of the Six Realms, alongside his beloved, Long Yan, the goddess of the Spirit Realm. However, deep within him, Long Xie’s soul remains, whispering from the darkness, waiting for a chance to rise once more. During a high council meeting, Long Yu, ruler of the Phantom Realm, senses an eerie presence within Long Tian. To her shock, she hears Long Xie’s desperate plea for help from within Long Tian’s body. Realizing that his soul has not been destroyed, Long Yu keeps her discovery to herself, retreating in haste to uncover the secrets behind this impossible survival. As Long Tian begins to sense the change within himself, he wrestles with a shocking request—Long Xie asks to temporarily take control of his body in order to reclaim the Demonic Throne. The Demonic Realm, left in chaos after his defeat, has now fallen into the hands of a greater evil: Blood Tyrant Long Mo, the exiled elder brother of the Celestial Emperor. Ruthless and cruel, Long Mo has seized power, slaughtering Long Xie’s loyal generals and imprisoning his most trusted warlord, Tian Gui. Against his better judgment, Long Tian agrees. As Long Xie takes control, he returns to the Demonic Realm, only to find his former palace stolen, his people executed, and his most trusted warrior brutally tortured. Consumed with fury, Long Xie challenges the Blood Tyrant, only to realize—Long Mo’s strength surpasses even his own. At the brink of death, Long Tian intervenes, merging their powers into an unprecedented fusion of celestial and demonic might. Together, they unleash the ultimate technique—Heaven-Slayer Divine Annihilation—a forbidden power capable of erasing existence itself. Though Long Mo is gravely wounded, he manages to escape, vowing revenge. With the tyrant gone, Long Xie reclaims the Demonic Throne, and for the first time, his hatred toward Long Tian begins to waver. But peace never lasts forever. A far greater mystery lingers—Long Tian’s firstborn son, Tianhun, carries the Celestial Mark, but also bears the curse of the ancient Demon Lords. His very existence could either bring salvation… or the destruction of everything. Thus begins a new chapter, where the greatest battle is not fought with swords, but within the soul itself. Legacy of the Celestial Mark is an electrifying saga of gods and demons, brotherhood and betrayal, fate and defiance. In a world where light and darkness intertwine, where even the gods are bound by fate, one question remains— Can destiny truly be defied?

On my wife's birthday, I rushed back from another city overnight. But the one who opened the door was my male assistant, wearing my bathrobe. "Mr. Lucas, I came to report to Ms. Johnson, and accidentally got caught in the rain, so I took a shower. Please don't misunderstand." "There's nothing to explain." My wife, also in a bathrobe, walked out of the bathroom with a look of disdain on her face. Her gaze towards me was full of contempt. "Aren't you supposed to be on a business trip? Why are you back?" I paused for a moment, then shook my head and gave a light laugh. "It's nothing. Just came back to grab a few documents." I casually tossed the carefully chosen birthday gift into the trash bin, then sent a message to my lawyer. "Help me draft a divorce agreement."

Since he was six years old, Adrian Nero has always had a dream. Thanks to his father's influence, he developed a great interest in football at a very young age. He loved the way the game was played, the way a team of eleven players worked together to score as many goals as possible against their opponents while conceding as little as possible, he loved the tactical aspect of the game with teams trying to play to their strengths and their opponent's weaknesses. But more than those, he loved watching the players lift trophies after winning a tournament. That's right, the thing Adrian liked the most about football was lifting trophies. Immersing himself in any game, his favourite teams played, he always felt like he was there celebrating and smiling with them. He loved that feeling. 'I'll really be there one day.' He always thought to himself. Despite his father's love for the game, his parents did not exactly support his dream to become a footballer and preferred him to go to a normal school to study and get a normal job. However, all hope was not lost as his high school was one of the schools that strongly supported having sports activities in their curriculum and it wasn't just for formality's sake. Adrian fought his way through, becoming the captain of the football team as early as the first year of senior high. With his help the team grew to become quite a formidable one and was named as one of the favourites going into the qualifications for the intercontinental highschool tournament, a competition taking place in his last year of highschool and his chance to lift his first trophy. That was when disaster struck. Due to work reasons, Adrian was forced to move back to his home country with his family leaving behind the team he had worked hard to put together. However, he was fortunate enough to find himself in a school eligible to take part in the qualifications for the tournament. Finding out about that, he felt that all hope wasn't lost, a feeling that was soon carried away by the wind. Sino Academy, although possessing a very good and well-maintained pitch alongside the basic equipment, was one that never took sports seriously. In all the times they had participated in the tournament, they had only been able to get through the qualifications once but miserably failed to get through the group stage. This was an event of fifteen years ago. Facing a school with a non-existent team and players that lacked teamwork, coordination and motivation, Adrian couldn't help but feel that his dream was far beyond his reach.

The whole world mutated. Mysterious resurrections happened in real life. The Tribulation descended. Everyone would awaken the ability to rule over beasts at the age of 18 and obtain a Lord Space of their own. After one month, their Lord Space would materialize and they would become a Lord. When they awakened, each Lord would obtain a summoning pool to summon their own troops. They had to plunder resources, strengthen their troops, expand their territory and defend themselves against the invasion of demons! Ren Qi recruited a mutated succubus from the very start. She could keep ascending until she became a fallen angel! Someone exclaimed, “Someone managed to recruit a succubus?” Another person said, “Why are you envious of him? Succubi don't have much combat ability and are weak. When his Lord Space materializes, he will most likely be consumed by the demons.” Someone said, “Hahaha, I awakened a top-tier troop, the Golden Tiger. I am invincible.” Not long after, Ren Qi’s territory expanded to the Warring Nation Level. A group of fallen angels stood beside him as they looked down on all the demons. The weakest fallen angel was an existence akin to a demigod.

Tang Jinghao assumed that he was tired and forgot to put it in the sink. The red wine was all around the inside of the cup.

Then, Tian Liwei put his hands on the counter behind her to trap her. “Dr. Tang, I’m out of my favorite drink. How will I get more?” Author’s message: PS, most of the historical events mentioned didn’t really happen. The names of the antiques were made up. The events were just used to entertain readers.
