The Lifetime of Piao

On the planet Nevera, in a world shaped by centuries of technological advancement and conflict, one family has remained unshaken. The Piao family stands at the center of it all, guarding a legacy passed down through generations. At the heart of that legacy is the World Tree. More than a symbol, it is a living archive. It holds the recorded lives of the Piao bloodline, along with generations of accumulated knowledge, research, and innovation—knowledge drawn from the diaries of those who came before, powerful enough to reshape the world itself. At the center of this legacy stands Angela Piao. Unlike her sisters, Grace Piao, the head of the family, and Angel Piao, who commands its military power, Angela has lived a sheltered life, immersed in technology and far removed from the responsibilities of her bloodline. But that distance cannot last. The outside world is closing in. As pressure rises to access the World Tree and the knowledge it contains, the Piao family faces a turning point they have avoided for generations. For the first time, their control is no longer absolute. And the decision falls to Angela. Not because she wants it. But because she must. Beyond the family’s walls, people like Kael Everwyn, tied to the Piao bloodline yet raised far from it, reveal a truth the family can no longer ignore. Their influence has already spread beyond their control. And the world has begun to notice. It is watching. Waiting. Demanding answers. Caught between preservation and change, secrecy and exposure, Angela must decide whether the World Tree remains protected… or becomes something the entire world can claim. To make that choice, she turns to the past. Through the records within the World Tree, Angela traces the path that led her family here, searching for an answer hidden in history— one that may reveal the truth behind the Tree itself.

To Make Him Fall...or not

“I gave you my soul in my last life. In this one, I’ll settle for your crown.” ~ In my first life, I was the devoted Queen. I waited two months for my husband, King Lauren, to return from the front lines—only for him to walk through the palace gates with a beautiful young maiden by his side and a decree in his hand: ‘She would be the new Queen’. And because of that evil beauty he brought to our kingdom, I died a discarded "nobody," executed for a crime I didn't commit. But death didn't take me. It sent me back. I woke up on the morning of his return. The crowds are cheering, the flowers are blooming, and my husband is about to humiliate me in front of the entire kingdom. But he doesn't know I've changed. He doesn't know I've returned with a special skill that makes me the most dangerous woman in the room. Before he can introduce his "New Queen," I hand him the one thing no one in this kingdom has ever dared to ask for: Divorce papers. In our land, a Queen asking for divorce is an abomination punishable by stoning. But Lauren thinks I’m bluffing. He looks me in the eye, tears my petition to shreds, and growls, “You are my wife. I will never stamp those papers.” He thinks he is keeping me trapped. He doesn't realize he has trapped himself in a palace with a woman who knows every one of his secrets—and is prepared to burn his kingdom to the ground just to see him sign his name. My goal is simple; I will make him fall... not in love, but to his knees. Since he spent my first life making me cry. I’ll spend my second making him bleed.

Empire of Ash: When the World Ended, She Built a Kingdom on the Ruins

"Rule One: Trust no one. Rule Two: Survive at any cost. Rule Three: Never fall for the enemy king." Maya Chen was nobody special—a 26-year-old marketing coordinator drowning in student debt, living paycheck to paycheck in Seattle. Her biggest concern was making rent. Then she died. Or at least, she thought she did. One moment she's walking home from another soul-crushing day at work. The next, she's ripped through reality itself and wakes up in a wasteland of crumbling skyscrapers beneath a crimson sky that pulses like a living wound. [SURVIVOR 1038, IDENTITY CONFIRMED. NEW KINGDOM MISSION ACTIVATED.] The voice in her head is merciless. The typhoon on the horizon is worse. And the only familiar face in this nightmare? Her younger brother Derek, equally confused and terrified beside her. Mission One: Survive the next 48 hours. Secure a base. Start building your kingdom. Maya has no weapons, no food, no shelter—and a Category 5 supernatural typhoon bearing down on them. But she has something else: a brilliant strategic mind she'd buried under years of playing it safe, and a rage she didn't know she was carrying. She's not just going to survive. She's going to conquer. Except the Crimson Wastes already has a king. Kaden Cross rules the Northern Territories with absolute power—a ruthless warlord who survived the first wave alone and built his empire on the bones of those who challenged him. He's lethal, calculating, devastatingly attractive, and has one rule: never show mercy. When Maya's desperate shelter-seeking brings her into his domain, Kaden should kill her. Survivors who enter his territory uninvited don't leave alive. But something about the fierce woman who glares at him with equal parts hatred and defiance makes him pause. He offers her a deal: serve his kingdom for 30 days, help him win the upcoming Territory War, and he'll let her and her brother go free with enough resources to start their own settlement. Maya has no choice. She agrees. But Kaden didn't count on Maya's strategic brilliance transforming his brutal kingdom into an actual empire. He didn't expect her strength to challenge his authority. And he certainly didn't plan to become obsessed with the one woman who sees him not as a king, but as a man desperately pretending he doesn't have a heart. Maya is playing a longer game. She's learning his weaknesses, gathering loyal followers, and preparing to take everything he's built. Because she just discovered the truth: her brother Derek isn't who she thought he was. He's working with the game's architects, the Sovereigns—the mysterious players who control this world from the shadows. And Derek's mission? Ensure Maya never gains enough power to threaten their control. The brother she'd die for has been sabotaging her from the start. Now Maya must choose: trust the enemy king who's falling for her, or the family who betrayed her. Win the kingdom, or save her heart. In the Crimson Wastes, only one rule matters: the ruthless survive, but the strategic conquer everything.
