Balancer of the Lingqi Sea

In the bustling maritime city of Kota Serunai (Serunai City), where the intricate currents of trade, nature, and heritage weave the fate of its people, the sea is more than a highway—it is a living force. For centuries, the Hukum Ombak (Law of the Tides) maintained balance between human ambition and the ocean’s untamed power. But now, the tides themselves are in revolt. Hai Cheng, a young master of the Arus Dagang (Trade Current), can sense the pulse of the sea through jade beads and ancient Suanpan (abacus) arrays. He understands currents, trade, and numbers better than anyone—but the natural balance is slipping beyond calculation. When a mysterious Grand Lingqi Furnace erupts beneath the harbor, it awakens a legendary guardian: the spectral Harimau Ombak (Tide Tiger). Amid the chaos, Yue Lan, a protector of the Arus Alam (Natural Current), emerges from the mangrove shrines, wielding ancient Batik Lingkar (Batik Arrays) and secrets of the unseen Orang Selindung (Veiled Folk). Together, they must navigate treacherous waters: industrial ambition, rogue Lingqi experiments, and mythic beings that guard the sea itself. But the true threat is the enigmatic Silent Admiral, a visionary who believes nature is inefficient and that the sea can—and must—be controlled. His Grand Furnace Network threatens not only the currents but the very heart of the Straits. Hai Cheng must reconcile three streams of power—trade, nature, and heritage (Arus Dagang, Arus Alam, and Arus Warisan)—to prevent catastrophe. To do so, he will challenge ancient pacts, awaken mythical guardians, and confront a philosophical enemy who sees balance as weakness. In a world where tides carry whispers of centuries-old secrets, where every wave may harbor a guardian, and every current may turn against you, one young man must rise to become the Penjaga Selat (Guardian of the Strait). A mythic, high-octane sea-fantasy webnovel, blending Malay, Hokkien, and Peranakan culture into an epic saga of power, legacy, and the living ocean.

I Fell for My Cultivation Bestie's Husband

Many years after the era of immortal cultivation, one day someone carelessly asked the Demon Queen, “I heard that the First Lady of the Demon Realm is your dear sister-friend?” Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen's eyebrows shot up and her almond-shaped eyes widened, “Dear sister-friend my ass, she stole my man!” No sooner had she spoken these words than the exceptionally handsome man beside her slowly shifted his gaze from the book in his hands and cast her a fleeting glance, making the inquirer feel as if the temperature in the hall had suddenly dropped, and their body had plunged into an icy cavern... The Demon Queen glared at the man nonchalantly, “Did I say something wrong?” It later became known that the Demon King's wife and the Demon Queen were once close friends who became enemies over a man, a scandal that spread across all realms. Then someone with a death wish approached the First Lady of the Demon Realm, who always looked gentle and kind, and asked, “Madam, I heard that it was the Wolf Clan's Demon Queen who brought you to this realm back in the day, and that afterwards you both ventured through various realms together, facing life and death side by side as sworn sisters. But later... I heard that you and her... had a falling out over a man?” With a slight smile, the Demon King's wife gently sipped from her white porcelain teacup and said, “Did she say I stole her man?” After nodding in acknowledgment, “That is indeed the case!” The listener was taken aback, internally exclaiming, “So the rumors are true, did our Madam Wang actually have an affair with that Demon Queen?” While lost in thought, the listener heard the tea-drinker add another sentence, “But... she also stole my man after all!” The questioner's eyes widened, and their mouth gaped open. Before they could even take a breath of cool air in shock, So you two were swapping partners? At that moment, a sudden loud bang came from outside, and a voice bellowed like a mighty bell, “Boom...” “You said... who is your man?”
