Trenchbound:The Great War

In the turbulent era of Europa from 1914 to 1922, a devastating world war ignites following the assassination of Great Duke Francis, heir to the Middle Nations of Germano-Hungry—loyal allies of the formidable Great Empire. This spark escalates into a brutal clash, with the Great Empire locked in combat against a coalition of powers: the steadfast Republic of France, the shadowy Transnatia (formerly Romania), the expansive Great United Front of Russia, and the naval-dominant Island Nation of Commonwealth (Britain), as additional nations are pulled into the conflict across the years. "Trenchbound" chronicles the war through shifting perspectives of soldiers on the battlefield, each chapter capturing a unique viewpoint at critical junctures. From the desperate struggles of everyday infantrymen navigating treacherous trenches and mechanized assaults—featuring colossal steam-driven tanks and armored contraptions—to the elite magic divisions, where mages command ethereal flying machines (distinct from conventional aircraft) to soar above the fray. These sorcerers enchant bullets with devastating spells, causing them to explode on impact or unerringly track their targets, turning the odds lethally against ordinary troops and amplifying the chaos of combat. Through these personal narratives, the novel delves into the grim realities of a war where arcane enhancements merge with industrial might, exposing the fragility of life, the bonds of camaraderie, and the shattering consequences of enchanted warfare that reshapes Europa's destiny. This alternate historical epic blends authentic period tensions with limited magical intrigue, painting a vivid portrait of survival amid enchanted peril.

Five Years After My Death, the Mad Emperor Still Summons My Spirit

In her past life, Ming Lingyi married Li Yun in accordance with her parents' wishes. In the eyes of the world, she and Li Yun were considered childhood sweethearts. Many people envied her good fortune, for she had become Li Yun's wife even before the Li family founded the state. Not long after the founding of the Dayan Dynasty, in the first year of Jing'an, she became the noble and esteemed Empress. But in the second year of Jing'an, after giving birth to a prince, the Empress fell into a coma for two days before passing away. When Ming Lingyi awoke again, she discovered she had become Ming Yao, the daughter of a merchant. Great men have always been prone to faithlessness; she could no longer hold any affection for the cold-hearted man in the palace, but she unexpectedly heard a rumor circulating among the people— Empress Hui Ming had been deceased for five years, but Emperor Jing'an had never allowed the people to speak of the Empress's passing. There were even whispers that the Empress's body was never interred in the Imperial Mausoleum, but was instead placed by Emperor Jing'an on a Kunshan Cold Jade Bed in the palace, where he used his blood for soul summoning. Ming Lingyi: "???" Was this the Li Yun she knew? Later on, when a noble guest in a black cloak entered her small shop, Ming Lingyi was caught off guard as she met a pair of eyes that had suddenly turned crimson. "Yuan Niang…" A low murmur, as if afraid to startle her, fell lingeringly into her ear.
