The Villain's Reluctant Bride

Emma died at twenty-four, reading a webnovel in bed. The last thing she remembered was the tragic ending: Duke Kael Draeven, the story's villain, executed for treason after killing the beloved Crown Prince. When she woke up, she was five years old. And she was inside that novel. Reborn as Seraphina Ashford, the neglected illegitimate daughter of a duke, she spent seventeen years preparing for one goal: save the villain from his doomed fate. She knows the future. She knows Kael will be framed for murder, manipulated by a scheming countess, and driven to rebellion. She knows he'll die alone, betrayed, and broken. So when Kael Draeven offers her a contract marriage—one year, political convenience, no emotions involved—Seraphina accepts without hesitation. Her plan is simple: marry the villain, gain his trust, prevent the tragedy, and rewrite the ending. But Kael Draeven is nothing like the character in the novel. He's colder. More dangerous. And far more broken than she imagined. Haunted by his mother's unsolved murder, isolated by his terrifying reputation, Kael trusts no one. His shadow magic—rare, deadly, and consuming his life force—makes him the most feared man in the kingdom. Everyone sees a monster. Seraphina sees a man who's been hurt so deeply, he's forgotten how to hope. As they navigate a treacherous world of court intrigue, assassination attempts, and political conspiracies, Seraphina finds herself doing the one thing she swore she wouldn't: falling in love. But loving Kael means lying to him. Because how can she explain that she knows his future? That she's read his story like a book? When the Crown Prince's schemes escalate and Kael is arrested for treason—six months earlier than the original timeline—Seraphina realizes a terrifying truth: Her arrival changed everything. The story isn't following the plot anymore. Now she's racing against a fate she can't predict, protecting a man who doesn't trust her, and fighting enemies who want her dead. Worse, someone else in this world knows she doesn't belong. And they're watching. To save Kael, Seraphina must risk everything—her secrets, her safety, and her heart. Because if she fails, Kael won't be the only one who dies. She will too. And this time, there are no second chances.

The Illusion of Heaven

After three hundred years as a legendary grandmaster in a glorious cultivation world, Zhung Hang dies peacefully in his death bed, only to awaken in a modern hospital bed. Doctors smile kindly and tell him it was nothing but a coma-induced dream. Stripped of every achievement, every bond, every shred of meaning, he returns to a life where no one ever truly wanted him. Parents who saw him as a burden. A little brother who died forgotten. Love that was never love. On a rainy night, he slits his throat and makes one final vow: “If reality is crueler than any dream, I will carve the next one with my own hands, even if I have to become something neither demon nor saint.” Death refuses him. He awakens again, reborn as an eight-year-old boy named Zhung in a third, far crueler world. Here, there is no qi, no spiritual roots, no merciful heaven. Power is measured by the **Nine Refinements of Will**, a brutal path where mortals must drink the fresh blood of divine or demonic beasts to tear open an **Aperture** inside their flesh. One wrong drop can leave you a conscious vegetable feeling eternal agony. One deep wound can strip a lifetime of progress in seconds. In this world, Zhung has only one light: his mother Zheng Han, the third and person in three lifetimes who has ever loved him without condition. For eight years he remains powerless, hiding behind a gentle smile while secretly feeding travellers to a beast in the forest cave, waiting for the day its blood will let him begin. He does not walk the righteous path. He does not walk the demonic path. He walks the **Broken Path**, a third road forged from the refusal to ever again be heaven’s tragic puppet. A dark, slow-burn xianxia of cosmic betrayal, quiet maternal love, and a soul that will gamble everything just to protect the one person who never asked him to be anything more than her son. The heavens wrote the first two tragedies. The third one will be his.

Sword Laughs at the Heavens

In a martial world ruled by rigid sect hierarchies and Heaven-approved cultivation laws, strength is inherited, techniques are hoarded, and obedience is mistaken for balance. Li Shen, a low-class warrior with no lineage or backing, should have lived a short and forgotten life—until he reveals a terrifying talent: the ability to understand, master, and improve any martial technique after seeing it once. Rather than stealing techniques, Li Shen corrects them—exposing the flaws hidden beneath sacred manuals and inherited traditions. Labeled an Anomaly, he becomes a threat not because of overwhelming force, but because his understanding makes authority obsolete. Walking a self-made philosophy known as the Unchained Path, Li Shen teaches mastery through comprehension, freedom through choice, and growth through error. At his side stands Lin Xueyi, a disciplined swordswoman shaped by betrayal and sect politics. Bound by shared ideals rather than fate, the two challenge a world that fears independence more than evil. As Li Shen’s influence spreads, cities close their gates, sects issue kill orders, and Heaven itself begins to observe. What begins as a wandering heresy grows into a movement that destabilizes the foundations of cultivation. Survivors, outcasts, and broken cultivators gather—not as disciples, but as people choosing freedom. Li Shen rises from hunted nobody to feared teacher, strategist, and finally the patriarch of an independent sect that threatens the heavens themselves. In the final arc, the true enemy is revealed: the ancient First Corrector, the being who bound cultivation into rigid systems to preserve cosmic stability. Nearly impossible to defeat, this antagonist represents enforced balance itself. Li Shen’s ultimate battle is not to conquer Heaven—but to break its monopoly on choice, freeing the world to cultivate without permission. When the laughter fades and the heavens fall silent, Li Shen and Lin Xueyi choose peace over legend, standing together in a world finally allowed to decide its own path.
