rebirth

Revenge is, by all means, one of the most guaranteed things to happen when a warlord with dragon blood in his veins and ether at his side is betrayed, poisoned, and reduced not to death but to decades of obliterating pain as his ether channels burn from his very soul. Only one remained. One channel, thin and fragile around his heart, survived long enough for him to endure, to wait, to plan, to manipulate, and, eventually, to return to the world with one clear purpose: to burn down the nation of the traitor who thought he had erased him for good. But then came a fortune teller at a street stall. And with the fortune teller came a dare Arik accepted for fun, a spread of cards drawn with no real expectation beyond momentary amusement. Instead, he found something far more dangerous than revenge waiting for him. His mate. A story of rebirth, revenge, enemies-to-allies-to-lovers, political ruin, ether, and the deeply unfortunate reality that the one person tied to Arik’s fate may be the very last person he should ever want. — Warnings, disclaimers, cries for help… call them whatever you want. This is the third book set in the same universe, but it can be read on its own. The world will be fully presented, so nobody needs to do homework before stepping into the chaos. For anyone curious, the first two books are: Bound by the Mark of Lies Shadow Unit Scandal: The Commander’s Omega This universe is ABO dragged directly into etherpunk, political fantasy, violence, bad coping mechanisms, and my ongoing inability to let powerful people make emotionally healthy decisions. There will be violence. There will be gore. There will be smut. There will also be vengeance, terrible restraint, worse impulses, emotional damage, and at least one man reacting to fate like it personally insulted his bloodline. Good luck.

Given a second chance, the Three Lives Mirror tells her that if she wants to live, she must redeem herself and earn the favor of the male and female leads. Song Wan Ning smiled gently. Redeem myself? Since when does a villainous side character need redemption? A villainous side character who knows the plot—how is that any different from a wolf entering a flock of sheep? * The Medicine King Sect's legacy is only for the female lead and not for her? Song Wan Ning directly shattered the legacy's divine sense until its soul dissipated, and then she scattered the ashes of the thousand-plus spirit tablets in the Medicine King Sect!

Without its divine bloodline, what's a divine beast but a piece of crap! The sect favors the childhood sweetheart and the male and female leads? Song Wan Ning gave a soul-snatching smile. Then she'll just have the entire sect erased from the Seven Major Sects and Four Great Clans! Everyone says she's gone mad. What's so bad about being mad? You see, when she goes mad, don't the others behave themselves?

Now, I'm letting you two be a loving couple ten years earlier. What are you hesitating for!" Chen Wanqing: "!" * The difference in Zhao Jing's life, from being a commoner to enjoying a prosperous official career and leaving his name in history, was just one Chen Wanqing. * Younger cousin: "What about Zhao Jing's bad luck? What about his life full of hardships? How is it that after marrying my older cousin, he has risen rapidly and enjoys a prosperous official career?" I'm totally freaking out! Could it be that I was reborn just to bring them together sooner!

Once fallen, it's impossible to break free. It can give you life, and it can also bring you death. After her rebirth, she wore a smile on her face, but her eyes were filled with ice. A friend once asked her why she loved him so much. She fell silent, then casually changed the subject without answering, but a dazed look flickered in her eyes.

But there was never a reason for hating Annabelle Linton, and he never looked for one. But later, he thought about it. Was it perhaps his confidence that she would never leave, no matter what? But reality later told him that he was wrong. In this world, is there really anyone who would never leave? [This novel's main focus is on the male lead's suffering. The male lead appears to be a jerk, so patience is required. He unknowingly hurt the female lead for many years. After her rebirth, the female lead stays away from him, and the male lead is completely tormented. In the later parts of the story, the male lead will have all the reactions you'd expect to see, such as suicide attempts... But the ending is a happy one. This book isn't exactly a doting romance or a gratifying romp, but it's certainly not a tragic tearjerker. If you enjoy stories that focus on the male lead's suffering, then I think you'll like this one.
