In a world ravaged by the endless battles of the five Factions, the Burn Field stands as a grim testament to the futility of hope. This vast, ash-choked wasteland is home to the ashborn, a forgotten caste bound to the thankless labor of tending to the dead and erasing the past. For Xieren, existence in the Burn Field is a relentless cycle of survival, his only comfort found in the gruff companionship of his mentor, Fen, and the forbidden dreams he shares with Elia. Elia is a defiant spark in a world of endless gray, a beacon of stubborn hope in the face of crushing despair. Where Xieren sees only the unyielding reality of their imprisonment, Elia dares to imagine a life beyond the ash. But when Elia reveals a dangerous secret, her ability to wield the rare and enigmatic power known as Oryn - their fragile dream of escape suddenly becomes a tangible possibility. As Xieren and Elia embark on a perilous journey to master her newfound abilities, they find themselves caught between the grim warnings of Fen, who knows all too well the price of hope in a place like the Burn Field, and the searing intensity of their own desires. With each secret training session, each whispered promise, they inch closer to a chance at freedom... but also to the ever-watchful eyes of those who would see Elia's gift as a threat to be eliminated. In a world where the strong prey upon the weak and the dead are the only sure thing, Xieren must make a choice that will echo across the ages. Will he embrace the audacious hope that Elia represents, risking everything for a chance at a new life? Or will he heed Fen's dire warnings and resign himself to a slow death in the dust and ashes of the only world he's ever known?

They left me to die. But this world had other plans. When our deep-space expedition crashed on a hostile alien planet, I thought the survivors would stick together. I was wrong. The moment the beasts came, my crew threw me to them—used me as bait to save themselves. I should’ve died out there. But death never came. Rescued by the native tribes who walk through ash and fire, I awoke in a world of primal gods, ancestral trials, and secrets buried in the soil. They didn’t know what I was—or what I could become. Neither did I. With broken tech, buried knowledge, and fire in my blood, I rose. And as I carved out a new place among these people, I asked myself: If I can lead them... should I? If those who betrayed me return... will I show mercy—or burn them to ash? In this world, survival is earned. And I was abandoned—so I will rise.

Odogwu Orie, a bright, observant boy born and raised in the quiet farming village of Amaedukwu, grows up under the influence of his father—a wise farmer and thinker who teaches him the art of listening, observing, and planting not just crops, but ideas. Gifted with wisdom beyond his years and grounded in cultural proverbs, Odogwu sets out to the capital, Obodo Ike, to build a future that no one in his village could have imagined. He begins humbly—an intern at a powerful conglomerate called Omeuzu Group, where he is seen as just another rural boy trying to make it in the big city. But Odogwu’s quiet diligence, analytical mind, and deep understanding of people soon draw attention. From file rooms to boardrooms, he rises through the cracks by turning overlooked opportunities into visible impact. Yet in the very company he gave everything to, he eventually faces betrayal. After fifteen years of steady work—leading projects in research, social impact, and innovation—he is abruptly retrenched following the COVID-19 pandemic, cast aside like a tool no longer needed. But that is not the end. It is the beginning of a second life. Determined not to be defined by abandonment, Odogwu sets out to build something of his own: the first indigenous hotel chain in his country, with branches across the continent. Drawing on the lessons of his father, the wounds of betrayal, and the wisdom of survival, Odogwu rises—this time not as a servant of someone else's dream, but as the architect of his own

From the Shelves of Aeralith We have kept many stories. Some speak of light. Others, of silence. This one came in ash. It does not begin with a kingdom, a war, or a prophecy. It begins with absence—with a girl no longer allowed to belong. Rasha was born with barely a flicker. Branded lowborn and cast aside, she was never meant to shape her tribe’s future. Until the flame chose her. Bound to an ancient spirit her people have long forgotten, Rasha carries a truth they no longer wish to hear: Fire was never meant to conquer—but to connect, to heal, to guide. Banished for speaking it, she walks the desert with nothing but a flicker of hope, a silent boy beside her, and the fire in her chest. She doesn’t seek glory. Only memory. Meaning. What was lost. She is not a weapon. She is not a savior. She is the Eternal Flame. While her path winds through exile and ember, others stir—in shadow, in snow, in sacred ruins. They do not begin together. They do not yet know each other. But their stories move toward the same fracture. This is the first of her volumes. One breath in the great remembering. And Aeralith never forgets.

Born without power in a world ruled by cultivation, Xuan Long was the first prince of the Eternal Flame Empire — kind, thoughtful, and cherished only by his family. Yet to the outside world, he was nothing but a disgrace. A “trash prince.” A royal failure. But love kept him grounded — until everything was taken from him in one brutal night. Betrayed by his own blood, his empire burned to ashes. His mother, father, brothers, and precious little sister were murdered before his eyes. Crushed, broken, and thrown into the cursed Lower Realm, Xuan Long was left for dead. For three days, he lay in the dirt — lifeless, soulless, forgotten. Then came the voice. “Invincible Revenge System activated.” “User recognized: Xuan Long.” In that moment, the powerless prince died… And something far more dangerous took his place. Armed with the ability to devour, reflect, and annihilate, Xuan Long begins his silent ascent — not for justice… …but for revenge. He will rise from the filth. He will shatter the heavens. He will return to the world that betrayed him — not as a prince… …but as a demon the world cannot contain.

From nothing, she rises—immortal, brilliant, ruthless—to become the Empress of Humankind in a galaxy that wants her dead.

Ren Amakawa is an ordinary, painfully shy eighteen-year-old who has never known warmth beyond his books and lonely nights. But his life changes the night he discovers an ancient mirror hidden in his attic — a mirror that doesn’t reflect his dusty room, but a lush, dreamlike world teeming with impossible beauty and forbidden temptations. Drawn through the glass, Ren finds himself in the Mirror World, a realm ruled by seductive beings who crave what he has always guarded — his innocence. There, sensual elf queens, cunning succubi, and mystical priestesses lure him deeper with whispers of pleasure and secrets too intoxicating to resist. Every time he crosses over, Ren’s desires awaken further, feeding the Mirror World’s magic — and binding him tighter to its dangerous temptresses. But behind each teasing kiss and heated touch lies a hidden truth: Ren is not just a visitor. He is the key to an ancient power, a pure vessel in a realm that devours purity for strength. With every surrender, he inches closer to losing himself — or embracing the dark ecstasy that the mirror’s magic promises. In a world where innocence is the greatest treasure, and temptation is a test of will, Ren must choose: shatter the mirror’s hold and return to his empty reality — or step willingly into a fantasy where pleasure is power… and his heart may never escape.

He died forgotten… only to awaken in a world forged by fire, fractured by power, and ruled by monsters in human skin. Kael was an ordinary man—until he opened his eyes in Zareth, a broken realm of floating ashlands and elemental wars. Branded with a mysterious mark and a fragmented core, Kael isn’t just reborn—he’s something the world hasn’t seen in centuries. He can steal powers. Hijack fragments. Break the system that defines life and death. But in a world where survival means loyalty to ruthless factions and ancient relics hold godlike secrets, Kael’s gift is a curse—and every step toward power brings new enemies, old wounds, and the painful truth about his own past. Beside him stands Seris, a fierce warrior hiding scars she won’t speak of. Between them blooms a bond as volatile as the elements—built on trust, betrayal, and something dangerously close to love. But in Zareth, nothing is free. The deeper Kael delves into the Spires and secrets of this world, the more he realizes: Some powers were meant to stay buried. And some souls were never meant to survive rebirth.

I won't be profiting from this. Just want to share this great book with my fellow readers. Hope you enjoy this. The Mirror Legacy is a novel covering Drama, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Seinen, Tragedy, Mature, Xianxia, Psychological, Mystery genres. Written by the author Ji Yueren. ------------------------------------- A message from the Translator: Heya, it’s Crow, the translator for The Mirror Legacy. I’m glad to have the opportunity to translate one of the top ten books on Qidian. This is perhaps a different type of Xianxia novel that is quite unique in its own right. Instead of following a single main character through the story, there are no main characters in this novel, or maybe everyone is a main character. After all, the main focus of the novel is the characters rather than cultivation. If I have to describe what this novel is like… then I’d say it’s a Sims 4 Legacy Challenge, but set in an eastern fantasy world. If you can find satisfaction in watching generations of a family building themselves up and enjoy books with good characters, then this is the novel for you. The story progresses slowly in the beginning, making this a great read before your bedtime or on a lazy afternoon in the cafe with a cup of tea in your hand. (You may also need a tissue box for your tears, that’s all I’m going to say.) The story starts with a guy named Lu Jiangxian who died after staying up till late to work. He transmigrated, not as a human but a mirror (a broken one at that)! Upon discovering that he could absorb the essence from moonlight and gain power from it, he decided to find ways to restore his mirror body and find out its origin. He was later picked up by Li Xiangping, a teenager from a humble farming family that soon discovered that the mysterious artifact they found could turn mortals into immortals. With such a powerful artifact in their house, they feared that tragedy could befall their family. There was only one thing for them to do—become powerful to protect their secret and family!
