She woke up with blood on her hands. A dead child beside her. No memory of how she got there. No explanation for the three hours she'd lost. Only a voice — cold, patient, impossibly familiar — speaking from somewhere inside her own mind. His name is Veyran. He has existed for two centuries. He has destroyed seventeen hosts before her. Aria should be the eighteenth. She isn't. Something about her is different — something that makes Veyran slow down instead of consume. Something that a hunter named Theron recognizes as dangerous. Something that an ancient man named Aldric has been waiting for. Now hunted by an organization that believes all hosts must be eliminated, Aria must learn to hold the line between herself and the darkness inside her — before Veyran decides she's worth keeping. Or worse. Before she decides the same about him.

Betrayal doesn’t always come from strangers. Sometimes, it comes from the people you trust most. She grew up invisible, always overshadowed by the golden child.

Alone but not powerless, she begins a plan of revenge. Every lie, every secret, every calculated move fuels her.

Veins of Betrayal is a gripping tale of deceit, passion, and revenge, where secrets come at a cost, hearts are never safe, and trust can be the deadliest weapon of all.

"His father taught him to never yield. The heavens taught him otherwise. Gen is the son of the Invincible Immortal Jiang, raised on absolute power and absolute pride. In a world where cultivators command reality through the six Wheels of Destiny, Gen's unbreakable will made him a prodigy—and a fool." "When celestial enforcers descend to punish humanity's arrogance, Gen's world of security shatters in a single day. Cast into a desperate five-year mission to prevent annihilation, he charges forward like the arrogant genius he's always been—turning allies into enemies, pushing his closest friend Liang into the arms of the corrupt Dark Wheels, and treating the end of the world as his personal proving ground." "A duel with A being that should have killed him. A betrayal that cuts deeper than any blade. A defeat so complete it cracks his soul in ways cultivation cannot heal. For the first time in his life, Gen can't fight his way out." "In a genre where emotionless MCs dominate, one story asks a different question: What happens when a cultivator actually breaks—and discovers that true power lies not in never yielding, but in knowing what is worth letting go?"
