Left alone by fate. Trained under a single hand. Bound by wounds passed down through time. A quiet vow shaped Haruto Takeda’s training hall - shelter those cast aside, left behind, unseen. Lucy arrived through blood ties, granddaughter of his old teacher’s fallen line, twisting the Blue Serpent way into sharper street-born strikes. From a wicker cradle with nothing but letters came Zane, light flaring in his palms like no ancestor ever showed.

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.

Yun Wanqing transmigrated into a book and became the pitiful and short-lived cannon fodder sister of the vicious female supporting character in the story. Thinking about the tragic fate awaiting her family, Yun Wanqing cried out in her heart. "Mother, you kindly took in the cousin, yet she covets my father and wants to become his concubine. Soon, she will harm you to death~" "Father, you were set up by the female protagonist, and after your death, your head was displayed on the enemy’s city wall to be scorched by the sun, becoming Da Wu Country’s shame~" "Elder sister is the female protagonist, but her fortune is taken away, turning her into a vicious female supporting character. Later, she is abandoned by her fiancé and tortured to death by the female protagonist’s suitors~" "Elder brother, a virtuous and noble gentleman, is betrayed by friends, ending up blind, deaf, and fighting with dogs for food in the streets~" "Second brother, a demonic prodigy, loses his memory overnight, is picked up by the female protagonist, and becomes her lapdog, helping her kill Seventh Uncle and his beloved.

The plot has collapsed way too absurdly, hasn’t it? Did she transmigrate into a fake book?

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...

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?”

This is a bizarre and mysterious world filled with various sinister cultivation methods. Once a person begins to cultivate, they will either undergo mild changes in appearance and temperament, descend into madness, or become a great elixir for evil beings to consume...

Later, as his mastery over various methods grows, Duan Yun, carrying the philosophy of 'the enlightened benefit the world,' never keeps secrets and spreads martial arts across the land.
