[Romance] Lord Black Dragon Still Hasn't Hatched Today

Jasmine received "shocking" news: she had to marry the Dragon Ghost as his wife. But in exchange, after the marriage, she would inherit the entire estate, subjects, and territory of her husband. Jasmine was overjoyed: "Is there such a sweet deal in this world?" On the wedding day, she dressed up sharply and stepped into the magnificent cathedral, casting an affectionate glance toward her future partner. And then she saw... a Dragon Egg. The majestic Dragon Ghost was nowhere to be seen; there was only an egg lying there all by itself. Inventory of assets: A dilapidated castle, with drafty winds blowing in from all directions. Subjects: Three hundred skin-and-bone slaves who, at first glance, looked like walking skeletons about to collapse from hunger. Territory: A dead land spanning ten thousand square kilometers around the Dragon Valley, so desolate that "dogs eat stones and chickens eat pebbles." Jasmine knew she had fallen for the scam of the century, but unfortunately, the knights who escorted Jasmine here had long since "whipped their horses and vanished," running away a long time ago. An old butler, so aged he could barely walk, tremblingly stepped forward, waiting for the new Lord's instructions: "My Lord..." Jasmine held the "egg-husband" in her arms, and her rational nerves snapped: "I have land and people, could I really let myself starve to death?" Putting words into action, Jasmine rolled up her sleeves and officially embarked on the path of tilling the soil to get rich. Many years later. A strange town suddenly appeared on the mainland, rumored to be obscenely wealthy. From that place flowed exquisite fabrics, pure white porcelain, and sparkling jewelry... Anyone who had ever set foot there could not help but exclaim in amazement, while wandering poets competed to compose poems praising that prosperity until their throats were sore. A certain greedy King became overcome with avarice and brought a massive army, intending to seize the town for his own. The result? They were treated to the sight of a giant dragon descending from the sky to "pay them a visit."

PAWNS RISE AGAINST THE STRINGS

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand. To them, people are nothing more than expendable positions in a larger design, living entire lives unaware they were never truly in control. Everything was proceeding exactly as intended. Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

Culinary God in Wilderness

Lin Chen transmigrated to a parallel world America and was forced to participate in Season 14 of the show "Wild Survival". From an underestimated street food truck operator, he soared to become the Wilderness Chef God! Damp and slippery moss, colorful poisonous mushrooms, and rotten, stinking wood were transformed into tempting delicacies in his hands. Lichen and Kelp Soup, Stir-fried "Jianshouqing" Mushrooms, Crispy Woodworms, Tender Beggar's Chicken, Oven-braised Roast Duck, Diced Rabbit with Double Peppers, Steamed Egg Custard, Crystal Wild Vegetable Dumplings, Pan-fried Salmon... While the other contestants were still foraging for berries to fill their stomachs, Lin Chen had already eaten until his little belly was full. He caught migrating salmon in the cold of Alaska, hunted porcupines, snatched prey from the jaws of a Tundra Wolf, and even brought the show to a climax by using his exquisite footwork to kite and kill a Black Bear with a hunting bow! As soon as the show aired, it went viral. Viewers developed a strong interest in this young chef from the mysterious, ancient nation across the ocean, and began to replicate the Great Xia delicacies Lin Chen made in their own homes. "I declare, this steamed egg custard is the most delicious egg dish I have ever eaten!" "This Thanksgiving, my family has unanimously decided to spare the poor turkey and eat Great Xia Roast Duck instead!" "Alone," which had been suffering from declining ratings, returned to the top of the variety show charts and began a new chapter of traveling the world! Outside of the show, Lin Chen began to purchase a manor, farm the land, raise pigs, run a YouTube channel, and occasionally make pop-up appearances on the streets to sell Great Xia food. When faced with a reporter's question, Lin Chen waved his hands dismissively, "Don't get the wrong idea. Not all of us from Great Xia know kung fu; I'm just an ordinary street cook."
