The Realm Between Us

Since she had been born, Wang Lan Biyu lived for one purpose. Or, at least that was what she had been taught by her 'father'. Flawed yet perfect, beautiful yet hideous inside, what was she? But even flawed as she was, she still found a small glimmer of sunlight in that dark place that loved her even with her hidden flaws. When she lost that sun, Wang Lan Biyu was crushed like a glass figurine underneath their 'father's heel. When she followed her Master back to the mortal plane. He said he was her adoptive father, and she, his daughter. He taught her what Loyalty was, what was like, dislike, what human nature was. It was entirely different from what her 'father' taught her. And the first thing she learned she loved was her sun, then she learned she also loved her master, and the guqin. She loved only a handful of things. But, if there was one thing she learned she despised the most. It was the 'actually perfect' senior brother her Master told her she had to get along with. A boy who, even at a glance, you could tell heaven favored more than everyone else. A boy who smiled at her with empty eyes and an equally empty smile. The senior brother, who, gifted her a basket of logans while simultaneously giving her that same warm smile with indifference in his curved Aurelian gaze while calling her name softly. "Junior Sister Wang." .....Wang Lan Biyu, never hated that fake gentleman's false smile more than almost anything in her entire life. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -Please be civilized and don't steal my cover as your own.

Falling For My Artistic Director

Day 1 — Smile and wave at him when he comes to the auditorium. Day 2 — Say hi or hello when you see him outside of rehearsal. No stuttering, Amelia Day 3 — Compliment something he’s wearing—and pretend it wasn’t rehearsed. Day 4 — Ask if he’s seen a popular movie or show. Day 5 — Ask him for a favor or borrow his pen. Day 6 — …What should Day 6 even be? Oh my god, I’m so nervous. This is crazy. I’m actually planning how to talk to Ezekiel. Yup, I must be insane. I shook my head. But who cares though? YOLO!! ******* Oh—hi there. That’s me. Professional overthinker. Amateur in everything else. Hehe. Sometimes I love taking stupid… uhm, risks. You know, for the plot, if you know what I mean. You’re probably wondering what all that “Day 1” stuff was about, right? Well… our paths crossed again. Well—mine and uhm, my artistic director’s… or should I say ours? No, that sounds weird because he isn’t yours and you’re not currently— ugh, Amelia, you’re going off course again! Sorry about that, I tend to wander off sometimes. ****** Where were we? Ah, yes. Our paths crossed again in my second year, during the second semester, while working on a performance course called THA208. After my first year in this big (and not-so-expensive) state school, he came to help my group out because my co-director asked him for help. He even cancelled his trip to another country… for us. So charming and uhm, cute and so— Amelia!!! Behave. Sorry, again. I promise to continue this… uhm, synopsis? Right, author?? Is that what it’s called? Am I even a theatre student?? [laughs] What am I even doing— ******* Back to our main subject. The man with the calm voice, terrifying authority during rehearsals, and that frustrating smile that makes my brain buffer. I forgot to mention—he’s a CEO. He practically owns a production company, a post-production house, and some creative agency or whatever. Blah blah blah. Yeah, he’s very… productive in his life. Ezekiel Green. That’s his name. And me? Well… I’ll hand that part to you, Miss Author. **************** Amelia Campbell is a second-year Theatre and Film Arts student at Valley View University. She’s the quiet girl in the rehearsal hall — the one who forgets her lines but never forgets how Ezekiel Green’s voice sounds when he says her name. Ezekiel is everything she’s not: confident, brilliant, and terrifyingly composed. He’s also her former induction director, a CEO of multiple creative companies, and the man she’s been secretly crushing on since freshman year. When he returns to campus to help her struggling group with a major performance project, Amelia’s world flips. What started as admiration becomes something deeper — something she’s not sure she’s ready for. Will she find the courage to step out of the wings and into the spotlight of her own story? Or will her feelings remain a silent monologue? Would their age difference come between them? ***************** Let’s find out as we go into Amelia’s story together. Grab your popcorn, because this ship is about to turn into a circus of crazy storms and unexpected rides. ***************** Additional Tags Mature (deals with adult themes and relationships) bittersweet slow burn art & passion university life Secretrelationship Emotional Unavailability Toxic/Unhealthy Relationship Dynamics self-growth deeply personal psychological realism

Crying My Way Through the Beast World: Eight Males, Zero Escape

[Irresistible Female Lead + Beast World + 1vN + Male Rivalry Shuraba + A Record of Time Management Fails] The moment she opened her eyes, Ruan Fu transmigrated into a Beast World novel as the infertile, vicious female side character. Before her was one of the female lead's Beast Husbands, who was currently in heat. Recalling her original ending of being humiliated and dying a tragic death, Ruan Fu decisively decided to take a piece of the pie from the female lead. Thus, not only did she snatch away her men, but she also played innocent, making the top-tier males of the Beast World willingly become her protectors. However, Ruan Fu, who firmly believed in having multiple options and paths, never expected that by just crooking her finger, they would all swarm towards her. Seeing this, Ruan Fu decided that of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, fleeing was the best option, leaving them behind in disarray on the battlefield of male rivalry. ——Disaster Skit—— On the day of Ruan Fu's wedding to the cold and gloomy snake-man, a large group of Beastmen from other clans suddenly appeared in Snake Valley. The aloof and abstinent Dragon Clan Clan Leader blocked the front of the hall, "Fufu, let's go to that hot spring you said you wanted to soak in last night." The domineering Tiger Clan leader, bursting with raw tension, tightly gripped her hand, "A fu, I will not allow you to marry him." The aloof and tsundere cat-eared youth knelt before her: "Fufu, don't you want to touch my cat ears again?" The rational and cunning Fox Clan Fate held up her hair ribbon, "A fu, you left this at my place." The gentle, husband-like Rabbit Clan Shaman watched her tenderly: "A fu, I missed you." ... In response, the one and only legal Beast Husband declared, "What does my wedding have to do with any of you? Get the hell out." But unexpectedly, the younger brother he had always doted on cut in front of him, "Brother, actually, the one who isn't loved is the real third wheel..."

The Side Character Who Wins by Doing Nothing

Lu Sangjiu spent over a year imprinting the innocent image of herself—often coughing up blood, delicate, and frail—into the hearts of everyone in the Seven Emotions Sect. In reality, the frequent coughing of blood was real, but she wasn't actually that delicate and frail. In the beginning, she had only one purpose for coming to the Seven Emotions Sect: to strip away the female lead Ye Zhiyao's destiny and break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao! Later, looking at the simple and kind-hearted fools of her sect, she thought to herself, since it's convenient anyway, I might as well save who I can! As the saying goes, the only thing that can defeat a pure white lotus is a refreshing little green tea. So, in order to compete with the female lead Ye Zhiyao, who possesses immense luck and is loved by all men, it wouldn't be too much for her to occasionally speak some "green tea" words, right? And so... Facing a demon beast, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, bravely said: "Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry about me, hurry and save Senior Sister Ye, she's more important than I am!" The hot-tempered Eldest Senior Brother stood firmly in front of her, "Nonsense! My Little Junior Sister is the most important!" Facing a scheming bitch, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, choked out: "Second Senior Sister, don't misunderstand, she wasn't bullying me, I'm not wronged at all!" The crybaby Second Senior Sister, while wiping her tears, gave her a live performance of tearing the scheming bitch apart by hand. Facing an Evil Cultivator, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, stubbornly said: "Third Senior Brother, you go first... I will definitely do my best to hold on until you bring people back to save me!" The timid Third Senior Brother mustered his courage, had a breakthrough on the spot, and crushed the Evil Cultivator! Later, Ye Zhiyao pointed her sword at Lu Sangjiu, claiming she was the Demon Cultivator Gu Huang, who brought disaster to the world a hundred years ago, and that she should be killed. Everyone stood firmly in front of Lu Sangjiu, "Impossible! Little Junior Sister is too frail to withstand a gust of wind; there's no way she's the Great Demon!"
