Lucas Elliott, the formidable CEO of ZigLan Corp. is known to the boardroom as "The Ice King" and to the underworld as the lethal Elian.

She was the Adiand Empire’s hidden jewel, a name spoken only in sealed rooms. The former Emperor’s treasure. The hand behind the throne. She guided her son with merciless precision, erasing enemies while offering no warmth. Even freed, the bird returned to its cage. In the end, she died by her son’s hand. Then Ett awoke as her. Younger than him. Three years younger. “I will remain in the shadows,” she said. “I will ease your rule. We need not meet often.” He smiled, serene and wrong. “Mother may rest in my land,” he replied. “We will reunite when I die.” Too calm. Too devoted. Ett inhaled deeply. Are you cursing me to die when I'm barely hanging on for my dear life? Little kid, why are you talking about your death so calmly? You're still too young! Too dark, just too dark. This child is too mature, which is a little massive red flag. No, everybody here is just mad. Period.

"Block him." "He's technically still my boss." "Then block him with dignity." The call ended again. And then started again. I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt. "Yes, Mr. Walton?" "Have you changed your mind yet?" I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough. "Do you ever take a break?" I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand. "You're avoiding the question." "Because it's a dumb question." He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. "It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer." "It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to." There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker. "You are acting unreasonably." " Unreasonable?" I sat up. "I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday." "Isabella-" "Certainly not, Mr. Walton." I mimicked his tone perfectly. "I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with." SYNOPSIS Isabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story. But Adrien Walton doesn’t take no—especially not when he’s convinced she’s a gold digger. Suddenly, her student loans are piling up, her father’s vet clinic is on the brink of eviction and her brother is about to be kicked out of college. Coincidence? She thinks not. Adrien Walton is calm, calculating—and he's just pulled every string to corner Isabella into the perfect position. Now she’s stuck choosing between pride and survival. So she agrees to his offer: be his fake girlfriend. No feelings attached. No drama. Just business. Or so she thought. "Conference Room B. Fifteen minutes," he said, passing by without a glance. The folder he pushed across the table landed with a thud. I opened it. The contract. All of it. --- Enemies to lovers? Check. Slow burn? Hmmnyea. Banter so sharp it might file your nails? Yes. Delicious workplace tension? Of course. Tension that could melt steel?Absolutely. Smut?? Wanna find out? Welcome to corporate romance warfare. There’s no escaping this contract.

Aria had devoted her entire life to ice skating until an injury struck, threatening not only her passion but her very existence. At her family’s insistence, she gave up skating, and her already lonely life began to wither in silence. She did as they commanded, learned what they dictated.

After months of solitary confinement in her own home and rejection from the only people she had left, Aria’s despair consumed her, driving her to the brink of death. But then, She was reborn. --- A new episode is released every Thursday.

Battle Through the Heavens was my first donghua and also my first novel, and because of that it holds a very special place in my heart. Xiao Yan, his journey, his struggles, and his growth are things no one can truly replace, and I know that the original story is already complete in its own way. Still, as a fan, I often imagined a different path—one where family emotions play a stronger role, where bonds, loss, and protection become as important as power itself. This idea is not meant to change Xiao Yan or deny the original story. Instead, it is a personal re-imagining inspired by my own thoughts and feelings as a reader. I was especially inspired by the fanfic BTTH: Thunder Shattered by Yi Pin Ru Xi Yang Yang. I am not trying to copy it directly, but rather use it as a foundation and modify the story according to my own imagination—focusing on a more powerful background, deeper family relationships, and emotional growth alongside cultivation. I am not a professional writer, and this is not something I am doing for fame or recognition. This story is purely for my own satisfaction and love for BTTH. If anyone has thoughts, ideas, or suggestions, I am open to them, and I will gladly shape the story in a better way.

“She was death, and he was life. They were never meant to collide—let alone fall for each other.” Mellisent grew up believing she was nothing more than the daughter of a great soldier. Her father taught her to fight, to survive, and never to depend on anyone. Now, with his death behind her, she has one goal—to become a warrior worthy of his legacy and forge a destiny of her own. Determined to rise beyond the life she was born into, she enters Vaelora Academy, a prestigious institution where humans and other supernatural bloodlines train side by side. There, she meets a man who seems to embody everything she despises—power, arrogance, and divine blood. The son of a god. What begins as rivalry soon turns into something neither of them can control. But the closer they grow, the more the truth threatens to tear them apart. Because Mellisent is not who she believes herself to be. Born beneath a Blood Moon, she is the child at the heart of an ancient prophecy—one that foretold the end of a king’s reign, his death, and a threat that would one day reach all of Aelyrith. And the bloodline sleeping within her belongs to something far older—and far more dangerous—than she could ever imagine. He is the son of the very power that stands against everything she was born to become. As ancient bloodlines awaken and buried truths begin to surface, Mellisent and Valerian will have to confront the destiny written long before they ever met—and the love they never meant to have. _ _ _ _ _ “You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into, Valerian,” Mellisent warned as a pair of strong arms pressed her against the cold wall. “I know exactly what I’m getting myself into.” His voice dropped to a whisper as he leaned closer, their breaths mingling. “I’m like a moth drawn to a flame.” Mellisent’s breath came in small, uneven puffs. “I’m not a flame.” Her eyes held his. “I’m an abyss. And an abyss leaves nothing behind but ashes.” A slow, knowing smile touched Valerian’s lips. “Then I’ll gladly burn.” And his lips descended onto hers.

After Hikari transmigrated, he quickly realized that this 2D world was just a little different from what he'd imagined. There were no Shuchiin Academy, no Service Club, no Yukino or Eriri... Instead, he found himself in a dangerous and downright baffling world. Currently, Hikari was staying at Miss Mira’s place. And as if things couldn’t get weirder, Mira’s best friend was Mrs. Kasumi. In the apartment next door lived a silver-haired beauty who looked exactly like a Yuki-onna, and there were sunflowers and hydrangeas... whatever that meant. His class rep was called Chizuru, his homeroom teacher was named Miwa Shirakawa, and there were three gyarus in his class who, for some reason, wanted to throw a party at his house every day. Then there was Sakurajima Miyajima, the head of the Kendo Club, Nanao Akane, the Baseball Club’s manager, and two sisters from the Archery Club who went by the last name Sakuramiya. Oh, and the neighboring school? That was the prestigious Sekai Girls’ Academy. To top it off, he had some relatives in the countryside named Kaiseiri and Sayoko, and his neighbor was a NEET who called himself a "self-defense force." This world was seriously messed up. Danger lurked everywhere, and if you weren't careful, you'd get dragged into something weird, or worse. "This world might be full of filth and corruption, but I'll smash it with a single punch." --The Pure Love Battle God, Nakamura Hikari. ═❀═❀═Its A Translation═❀═❀═ Raw: 在成人世界里作为椿原美拉的亲属 Author: 小鲨鱼

So, let's take stock, shall we? An ex-wife turned terrorist who's decided to kick off the apocalypse. Seraphim who are scared of their own shadows.

Every "Diver" gets 96 hours on Earth before the Black Thirst disease drags them back... Back to Thirstfall—a brutal otherworld where a ruthless system called Ocean's Law decides who lives, who dies, and who gets erased. Most Divers break within a year. Dryden Sands lasted ten. He clawed from nothing to Rank-A with a class everyone called trash. He mapped hidden dungeons, cracked the system's blind spots, and survived things that shouldn't be survivable. Then the person he trusted most killed his family and took everything. Including his life. But dying triggered something—a relic fused to his soul that no one was supposed to find. It didn't save him. It reset him. Same world. Same body. Directly to Day one, when everything started. He knows where every secret is buried. Every trap. Every traitor. But his body is Rank-F, his new class is rated SSS, his time is bleeding out, and the system has already flagged him as something that shouldn't exist. In Thirstfall, the ocean doesn't just drown the weak. It hunts who shouldn't belong anymore. -------------- #No harem. #No romance plot armor. #Mostly survival.

Dangerously close to the under curve of my breast. “The thing with girls like you, Maisie, is that you think all you need to fix to be picked is your appearance. I don’t doubt that bedding you would make for great entertainment, but you’ll never be the type of woman men want to keep. The kind to be made Luna. You’re the kind that’s only good enough to be used and discarded, but never good enough to be chosen.” *** After getting rejected by her mate, Cole Hayes, the future Alpha of the pack, and nearly losing her life from the pain of it, Maisie Adams and her best friends concoct a fail safe plan to get back at him and save her from dying.

Phase IV: Get Cole Hayes to apologize. Phase V: Reject Cole Hayes. What they do not, however, account for is Cole Hayes falling for Maisie and being unable to let her go. Even worse, they sure as hell couldn’t have known Maisie would catch the attention of the four Lycan royals at the academy and accidentally bond with them!
