# Cultivation Through Desires ## Synopsis Marcus was a billionaire who had everything except what mattered. Money. Success. An empire built on code and logic. But no connection. No passion. No life beyond the screen. Then a black sphere tore through reality itself. One moment he stood on a luxury cruise near Dubai. The next he crashed onto an alien world where humans flew on swords and shattered mountains with their fists. Planet Tianxu. A world ruled by cultivation sects where power determined everything and the weak were crushed without mercy. Marcus should have died in the first week. Instead something ancient awakened within him. The Heavenly Kama Scripture. A sacred text from the God of Love and Kindness who once ruled the heavens before the cultivation sects erased his name from history. The ancient deity believed that true power came not from rejecting desire but from embracing it. From understanding the deepest yearnings of the heart and transforming them into unstoppable strength. Now Marcus carries this forbidden system. A cultivation path that grows stronger through connection. Through understanding. Through the very desires the orthodox sects consider weakness. But the cultivation world has rules written in blood. The sects that dominate Tianxu built their power on suppressing emotion and severing mortal attachments. They view the God of Love and Kindness as a heretic. His scripture as corruption. If they discover what Marcus carries they will hunt him to the ends of the world. Marcus must learn to survive in a realm where a single mistake means death. Where flying swordsmen patrol the skies and demonic beasts lurk in ancient forests. Where cultivators treat mortals like livestock and power is the only language anyone respects. He has no cultivation base. No allies. No understanding of the world's ruthless hierarchy. But he has something the cultivation world forgot. He understands desire. Ambition. The driving forces that make humans human. And in a world that demands you abandon your humanity to gain power Marcus will prove that the greatest strength comes from embracing what you are. The sects of Tianxu built their thrones on suppressing desire. Marcus will tear those thrones down by wielding it. --- **Genre:** Eastern Fantasy, Cultivation, System, Harem **Tags:** Transmigration, Weak to Strong, Cunning Protagonist, Ruthless Protagonist, Beautiful Female Lead, Ancient Gods, Forbidden Technique, Sect Politics,dual cultivation. **Warning:** This novel contains mature themes including violence and some lemons.

On the Brahma Continent, power comes from Blood Rings the manifestation of cultivation that separates gods from livestock. Surya has none. Worse, he's human. A race so weak, so forgotten, that most people don't even know they exist. Captured. Caged. Sold to Rakshasa nobles as meat for their banquet, he should have died in chains like the others. But fever brought something impossible: memories of two lifetimes he never lived. A pharmaceutical empire on Earth. Advanced research in an alien civilization. Knowledge that shouldn't exist but might be the only reason he's still breathing. When an old man with shattered cultivation rings sacrifices everything to give him one chance at freedom, Surya learns the truth: the Blood Ring system isn't divine. It's designed. Controlled. And someone doesn't want the secrets getting out. Armed with scientific knowledge from two lifetimes and the teachings of a broken blacksmith, Surya must survive in a world that sees him as prey. But some chains are meant to be broken. And some rings can be shattered twice. --- What to Expect: - Weak to Strong Progression - Reincarnation/Multiple Lifetimes - Pharmaceutical/Alchemy with Science Base - Underdog MC in Hostile World - Cultivation System with Hidden Secrets - Blacksmithing & Crafting - Non-Human Races & Complex World - Strategic MC, Not OP (Yet) - Consistent Weekly Updates Warning: Contains slavery, violence, and dark themes.

Original Work In the world of cultivation, destiny is not always kind. Arya Chen is the number one genius of his clan, blessed with a divine physique, a noble bloodline, and a future that seems limitless. He has everything a cultivator could ever dream of—power, status, and the admiration of his peers. But in the grand narrative of the world, he is not the hero. He is the villain, a tragic figure destined to be a stepping stone for a rising protagonist, fated to lose everything he holds dear over a manipulated misunderstanding. Meira Su is the quiet daughter of an allied family. She has loved Arya her entire life, a silent guardian watching from the shadows as he marches towards a doom only she can foresee. Bound by a love that transcends a single lifetime, she is the only one who knows the cruel truth of the coming storm. When a twist of fate grants Arya a heaven-defying power of his own, he is given a single chance to rewrite his tragic end. To survive, he must become a ruthless puppet master, playing a dangerous game of destiny where every cultivator is a potential pawn. Caught in a web of plots and prophecies, Arya and Meira must forge an alliance of their own, navigating a world of political intrigue, deadly rivalries, and the rising threat of a so-called "hero" who wants to claim their world for himself. Can their bond, a fragile spark in a world of darkness, be enough to defy a pre-written fate? "I am the protagonist's goldfinger" is an epic Eastern Fantasy filled with heart-pounding action and a deep romance, where two souls must stand together to seize a future that was never meant to be theirs.

Everyone knows the story of Cinderella. This is not that story. Ophelia Nightshade is a lowborn servant in her father’s house, dressed in black to mark her place beneath the family that barely tolerates her existence. Trained to be invisible, she survives through obedience, sharp wit, and a quiet refusal to break. The only escape she knows lies beyond the manor gates—in a forest where servants are sent when they are considered expendable. There, Ophelia accidentally awakens something that should not exist: a wounded fox bound by ancient power and older secrets. As her life within the Nightshade household tightens—marriage schemes, political scrutiny, and the dangerous attention of royalty—the forest becomes the only place where she is truly seen. What Ophelia does not know is that her blood carries the convergence of realms, and her survival threatens balances long maintained by force and deception. When a single night shatters the fragile order protecting her, Ophelia is forced to flee into a world that no longer intends to let her remain small. Princess in Black is a dark fantasy reimagining of the Cinderella myth, blending political intrigue, slow-burn romance, and hidden power with sharp wit and emotional grit.

This is an Unoffical Chinese translated novel Author: Science Research Institute (赛恩斯研究院) Translator: Doyenro(for fun) ------- After transmigrating to a different world, Ron finds himself bound to a mysterious Farming System. All he ever wanted was a peaceful, laid-back life. But reality had other plans... — Elemental cards inspired by playing cards become a sensation at the Magic Academy. — A magically altered version of Three Kingdoms Kill, called Legendary Kill, becomes the must-have game for noble afternoon teas. — Otherworldly Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards spark a craze among children of all races—everyone’s desperate to draw a “Blue-Eyes White Dragon.” The craziest part?

I was a desperate, debt-drowned computer-science student when Selene Kade Rowan, the most feared billionaire CEO on the continent, made me an offer I couldn’t refuse: tutor her seventeen-year-old genius daughter, Aurelia. One rule, carved in ice: “Lay a finger on her and I’ll erase you from this earth.” Selene broke it first. It started with a midnight glass of water in her kitchen. Ended with me pinned against marble countertops, her manicured nails drawing blood down my back while her daughter slept upstairs. She took my virginity the same way she took companies fast, totally, and without mercy, and paid me enough to keep my family from living in a car. I became the secret she couldn’t quit. She became the devil who owned my survival. Then Aurelia started to melt. The untouchable prodigy who treated feelings like viruses began lingering after lessons. A brush of fingers over code. A stare that lasted too long. When she followed me to university the next semester, the air between us turned flammable. I told myself I could handle both. I was wrong. One rain-drenched night during campus festival, Aurelia kissed me like the world was ending and whispered the childhood nickname only I was ever allowed to use. Someone filmed it. Someone sent it straight to Selene. Now the queen knows her princess has stolen her favourite toy. Selene doesn’t lose. Ever. And I’m the only thing both mother and daughter refuse to give up. In a war where money buys silence and love is the deadliest weapon, I’m the broke kid caught in the crossfire between a ruthless empress and the girl who makes me feel like I’m worth more than the price on my head. “One pays my debts with millions. The other is making me forget I ever had any.” I crossed every line they drew. Now they’re drawing new ones in blood. Warning: Dark, explicit, and unapologetically messy. Age-gap. Power imbalance. Taboo as hell. No heroes. No forgiveness. Only consequences. Reader, if you had to choose the woman who owns your life, or the girl who makes you want to burn it all down Which poison would you swallow?

In the Verlaris Empire, the strength of an emperor is not measured by his own power alone, but by the might of his harem. Li Wei was never meant to rule. Born of a concubine and deemed unworthy by his royal siblings, he was cast aside and erased from succession long before the question of inheritance was ever raised. Exiled from court, Li Wei spent his days training in secret, far from politics, far from ambition, wanting nothing more than a quiet life beyond the palace walls. Then, on the night of imperial succession, the palace fell into chaos. The crown prince was assassinated. Noble factions turned on one another. Generals prepared for war as the empire teetered on the brink of collapse. With no suitable heir remaining, the dying emperor made a final, impossible decree. Li Wei, the discarded prince, would ascend the throne. The court scoffed. The nobles sneered. Concubines whispered behind silk curtains. An emperor with no backing, no faction and worst of all, no harem was nothing more than a temporary ruler. A placeholder awaiting his fall. They believed he wouldn’t last a month but they were wrong. For this is just the beginning of the rise of the Eternal Emperor.
