Who knew that her father would send off her husband mere hours later to fight a war?

The first star that passed away extinguished two thousand years ago. Four hundred years later, the mysterious Calamity of Heavenly Fall destroyed the civilization of the previous era, returning thriving cultures to ignorance. Since then, stars gradually vanished, the Firmament grew dark and dim, and a new civilization rose from the starless wilderness, flourishing once more. Yet, what accompanied this were war, death, destruction, and hatred. The flames once aimed at the Firmament were used to slaughter the people of enemy nations, and the raining clouds once engineered to alter deserts were turned into floods that engulfed the land. Humans once again began to kill each other for wealth and power... but no one looked up at the sky. They lost the Guidance of the stars Above the Sky, forgetting the awe of gazing upon the Milky Way. They were all prisoners. One thousand six hundred years after the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, a young child awakened memories of his past life. He wanted to break the Cage, to throw off the shackles. He wanted to become a star. To return to Above the Sky. "I don't care about how the people of this world live, whether they're well-fed or not, whether they can dress warmly or live comfortably, whether they have dreams or hopes. I don't care about their loves and hates." "I just want to go Above the Sky." ——Ian.

She was always reckless—climbing castle walls, sneaking into town, chasing danger like it was her birthright. But the day they decided to chain her with marriage, she didn't just rebel—she became feral. And when a cage threatened to close around her, she did what she did best. She ran.

Black-bellied, sharp-tongued business tyrant vs. adorably cunning, deceptively soft beauty 【Let the evil meet their fate, and if fate doesn't take its course, I'll do it for you】 It was rumored in C City that the merchant Gu Jiangnian was a master of strategy and profit, where every move was made for gain. But everyone at Junhua knew, Director Gu sought not only profit but also people. To what extent? Want money, send money; want someone, send someone; you fight, I guard the door; you brawl, I support you. Before marriage, she was the least favored miss of the Jiang family, battling alone against her cruel stepmother and adulterous father, with her daily work: brawl! Brawl! And brawl some more! After marriage, she was the beloved little ancestor of the Gu Mansion, pampered and protected in the palm of the master's hand, too precious to let others bully, with her daily work: cling to powerful coattails! Cling! And cling some more! 【Post-marriage daily life one】 One day, Mrs. Gu was ill and had lost her appetite. Mr. Gu canceled his appointments to return home, sat in front of her, and coldly stared, his words icy: “Didn’t you say I was a feast for the eyes? Eat!” 【Post-marriage daily life two】 Mrs. Gu found herself in a tight spot, attacked by the public, when a reporter relentlessly pursued Gu Jiangnian asking, “As Junhua’s director and C City’s wealthiest Mr. Gu, what is your opinion on Mrs. Gu's attempt to run over her own biological father?” The man paused abruptly, his face cold as he slowly and deliberately said, “She's spoiled by me. What’s it to you?” Without waiting for the reporter to answer, he arrogantly continued, “Even if you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. My woman, Gu Jiangnian’s woman, is not subject to your criticism.”

In the realm beyond this world, there's a tale of a man and a woman that has been passed down. From my place outside that world, I once believed it did not truly exist. I simply fantasized about being able to visit that place and become the heroine of that story. Do you know? Eventually, I did. I truly became the heroine for a moment... That world was real to me. However, later on, I returned to the time and space I'd always known. No, actually, I don't think I returned to the exact world I once knew, because everyone now thinks I've gone mad. Has that world vanished like Atlantis? Or did it never exist at all? Impossible! When one travels through different parallel worlds on their own power, there shouldn't be such vast differences! Tick-tock… Tick-tock… Time shifted three times, space shifted twice, and I, once lost my way. When I realized I was actually imprisoned in a colossal cage, where souls from various planets were thrown into. The collision of diverse spirits created breathtaking fireworks. Yet, just like fireworks, they were fleeting and pitiful... At the moment of physical death, the dazzling display vanished without a trace, evoking sighs of lament. But all these spirits need not worry. Memories may be erased, but the soul remembers, for it is eternal and indestructible.

Chiara has never been wanted. Everyone thought of her as a burden and waste of space all her life. When an opportunity presented itself to prove her worth, she eagerly grabbed it. Little did she know that her choice would strip her freedom away and chain her to be the wife and property of Adrian, Alpha of the Galway Pack.

Blamed for the death of his former pack, he tried to start a new life away from the city and other wolves. However, he's eventually caught by the Galway Pack and offered a second chance as a personal bodyguard for the Alpha's wife. It is a sin for him to set his eyes on Chiara, much more to fall in love with the pack alpha's mate, but his wolf and heart have other things to say. An omega in a gilded cage and a rogue alpha chained by his past sins... can Chiara and Lance find the courage to carve their own paths, or will they simply be swept away by the raging river of fate?

She was nothing but a pawn in his ruthless world. A weak, fragile girl thrown into a cold-hearted billionaire’s arms. When Elena Carter’s father’s debt threatens to destroy her family, she is forced into an arranged marriage with the most feared businessman in the city Alexander Blackwood. A man who sees emotions as a weakness, a man who doesn’t believe in love. To him, she’s just a means to an end. A perfect, obedient wife for show. But behind the closed doors of his extravagant mansion, she is nothing more than his prisoner. Cold words. Harsh touches. A world where love is a foreign concept. But what happens when the monster begins to fall for his prey? What happens when she dares to dream of freedom? And what happens when she learns the dark secret behind their marriage? One thing is certain when you play with the devil, you either burn… or become his obsession.

Twelve years ago, the Hume and Heinrich families were destroyed under accusations of treason against the Empire. Ralph Veir Hume, who was only eight years old at the time, was the sole survivor—but at a cost.

Now, at the age of twenty, Ralph has finally been ordained as an official priest. But this is not out of devotion to God—it is merely the first step in his journey to uncover the truth behind his family's downfall. With the mystical power of "Author" from the Imaginer path, he can rewrite reality—a dangerous gift in a world ruled by eight mystical paths, where the Church, the Empire, and various factions vie for ultimate control.

This man had a thing for creating "arty corpses. " Gait of a soldier, calmness of a saint yet temperament of a depraved, he should have been caged. Even the strongest of the alloys would have degraded on his mere sinister glance, carving a path for him to walk free. Yet here he was-- a wandering predator in the light of the day. He soon qualified for bondage by special means. A system created to conscript the prodigies of wickedness, took notice of him. No matter how unwilling, he was under those watchful eyes. But the truth was, he was still above their rules, untamed and unbroken. He began hunting those within the system itself. He became something greater- a favoured entity, a popular character among many. A gap was then created even among those in the system, forging a competitive spirit. But should they dare to risk it all, no matter how fascinating he seemed? None survived to provide feedback on their experience yet the boss let it slide-- for now. This man was indeed special, the boss personally checked him and speculated that there must be a rolling key.

Every 10,000 years, seven apostles are born, destined to fight Apocalypse—but Samuel refuses to let fate decide his life. Born an orphan and abandoned at birth, he grows up under the care of Mrs. Green, a scholar who sees his potential. When his unheard-of magical talent is discovered at age six, the empire tries to claim him, but Samuel wants freedom, not a gilded cage. With Mrs. Green’s help, he escapes into the slums, surviving on wit and stolen moments of magic. For two years, he stays hidden—until Raphael, a master of space magic, tracks him down. Instead of forcing him onto a path he dreads, Raphael offers a choice: keep running or take control of his fate as the Apostle of the Void.

Betrayed. Abducted. Bound by Vengeance. Angel thought turning twenty would mean freedom—escaping the gilded cage her father built around her. But on the night of her birthday, she lost everything. Taken by Leoric, the man who had spent years plotting his revenge, she was meant to be nothing more than a pawn—a sacrifice to break her father’s pride. But fate had other plans. A mysterious vortex pulls them into a deadly new world—a land ruled by darkness, where power belongs to the strong and escape is impossible. The only way back? A tribute to the supreme ruler: a virgin bride. With danger closing in and an unbreakable bond forming between captor and captive, Angel and Leoric must face an impossible choice. In a world where innocence is currency and survival demands sacrifice, will revenge still be enough? Or will they become each other’s salvation?

In a world where magic reigns supreme, Elias Graves arrives at the legendary Veldorian Academy of Arcane Studies, a bastion of magical knowledge where only the most gifted are chosen. To the world, he is just another student, another aspiring mage seeking to unlock the arcane mysteries that shape reality. But Elias is different. He does not see magic as divine, nor does he accept the ancient laws that govern its use. To him, magic is a system—a structured force bound by unseen rules, waiting to be rewritten. Yet, the deeper he delves into his studies, the more contradictions he finds. Spells that should work, do not. Techniques dismissed as impossible, feel within reach. Knowledge lost to time lingers in whispers, buried beneath layers of fear and silence. The academy teaches him the laws of magic, but Elias begins to suspect that laws are merely the cages built to contain something far greater. As he quietly unravels the secrets hidden within spellcraft, he begins to glimpse a truth no one else dares to speak of—that magic is not bound by nature, but by something far more insidious. And those who have questioned it before? They are gone, erased from history itself. What lies beyond the limits of known magic? Who—or what—decides what can and cannot be done? With every step, Elias walks a line between discovery and destruction, between brilliance and madness. Shadows move where they should not, watchful eyes track his every experiment, and the academy that once felt like a haven begins to feel like a cage. The closer he gets to the truth, the greater the danger grows—not just to him, but to the very fabric of reality itself. Because some doors, once opened, cannot be closed. And Elias has just found the key.
