Ready for a messy ride? *** Ren has spent years surviving behind a mask. By night he is known as the most sought-after Omega companion at the Deluxe pleasure house: elegant, mysterious, and untouchable. Clients know his scent, his voice, and the cold charm he uses to keep the world at a safe distance. No one knows who Ren really is. The identity he shows the world is only half the truth, and the secret he protects is powerful enough to destroy the delicate balance between the mainland’s most influential families. Everything begins to unravel after one reckless night with Feng Lang—the volatile Alpha heir feared across the city. One punch. One scandal. One mistake that drags Ren directly into the orbit of four dangerous heirs who rule the underground racing scene and stand at the center of an approaching political storm. Among them is Zhen Long, the calculating mastermind preparing for a ruthless election battle, Shen Yichen, the quiet genius who never loses and Wang Ruiqing, the amiable heir who rejected his family’s empire for a life in law enforcement. While the powerful circle grows suspicious of the mysterious Omega who appeared out of nowhere, Ren struggles to keep his two identities from colliding. Because if the truth about him ever comes to light, it will not only destroy the life he built—it will unravel years of secrets, revenge, and power plays carefully hidden beneath the surface of the mainland’s elite society. And the most dangerous part? Ren may not even know the full truth about himself. In a world where power is everything and secrets are currency, one Omega’s hidden identity could bring an entire empire crashing down. ***

But Finn, a former university student from earth, wakes up in a body treading a whole different path…A forbidden path: The path of a Soul Mage. Soul Mages are the ultimate parasites. They lack the ability to use magic themselves, but instead, wield the power to assimilate the mana-saturated souls of the dead. From every Great Arcanist that once lived, to every Calamity Beast, to every Mythic Grade Spirit Artifact… So long as they were dead, they were simply chaotic souls waiting to be claimed. ​But this kind of power does not come without cost.

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s.

After Level 100 In a world where uncertainty has become constant, humanity begins to lose what once defined it. Love grows cold, empathy disappears, and malice finds ever more room to grow. People continue living, but no longer know what it means to be human. Then, without any warning, players are randomly chosen from different parts of the world. They are thrown into a fantasy world governed by levels, classes, and an absolute System. The rule is simple and unforgiving: reach level 100 in 180 days. In the real world, that time equals just one month. Failure means death. Each player receives a class and a well-defined evolution path. Hunting, fighting, evolving, and surviving become the only laws of this new world. For Steve, however, everything begins as a false hope. Believing he's facing a game capable of guaranteeing him a simple, free life away from the big cities, in contact with nature—and, above all, enough money to cover his mother's medical treatment—Steve accepts the challenge without imagining the true price of this choice. But upon entering this world, he discovers something that puts him at a disadvantage from the very first moment: Steve has no access to the evolution System. No visible levels. No automatic abilities. No guaranteed rewards. While other players grow following rules that favor them, Steve is forced to walk a solitary path—learning from his own mistakes, adapting to each battle, and surviving in a world where numbers define value. In a desperate race toward level 100, Steve must discover a truth the System would never teach: true evolution cannot be measured by stats alone. And as the limit approaches, a question begins to echo, silent and threatening: what really exists after level 100?

The world died once. When it came back, it brought cultivation with it — and nothing has been normal since. Now cities hide sects, corporations run on ancient bloodlines, and power walks among ordinary people wearing a perfectly normal face. Everyone plays by the rules. Nobody talks about it. That's how it works. Until two people broke every rule just by existing near each other. He carries Yang — the kind of blazing, untamed energy that makes even powerful men step back. She embodies Yin — cold, silent, and feared by forces so old they don't even have names anymore. They were never supposed to meet. They were definitely never supposed to fall in love. But they did. And now Heaven itself has a problem with it — because in a world built on balance, their bond isn't just forbidden. It's a crack in reality that keeps getting wider every time they choose each other. Hunted by fate, opposed by powers beyond anything mortal, their love has become a full-blown rebellion against the sky. The only question is, how much are they willing to lose before Heaven finally wins?

He called labor "easy." Now he has to survive it. Billionaire Eric Davis built his empire on control. His wife, Eleanor, was just another asset: cheated on, belittled, and quietly stripped of her inheritance. Pregnancy? "Drama." Pain? "Easy." But karma has a twisted sense of humor. Eric opens his eyes in a delivery room-in Eleanor's body, in active labor. Eleanor wakes up in his body-in his mistress's bed, wearing his face, his voice, and the power he used to destroy her. Eleanor has lost her face. But she's gained the perfect weapon. She doesn't just want her money back-she wants to bring his empire down, brick by brick. Revenge is a blade with two edges. To destroy the monster, Eleanor must live inside his skin-without becoming him.
