In the beginning, a Supreme Entity created a celestial garden that was later moved to Earth Eden. At its center stood the Tree of Life, a divine source that bore fruit only once every two thousand years. Its single fruit offered immortality… and destruction.

Millennia passed, the sects weakened, spiritual energy faded, and Eden vanished from history. Now, in the year 2045, the modern world remains unaware that Eden’s legacy still pulses in the shadows. The Tree of Life is about to bear fruit again. And when it does the greatest hunt in human history will begin. Only one question remains: Who will find Eden first?

The well-off little salted fish transmigrated to a poor era, where her grandparents valued boys over girls, leading to a miserable life for their granddaughters.

Her drama queen mother, who was lazy but liked to eat, often tried to coax food off of her, yet she always left a portion for her.

However, Jiang Mianmian, who knew the plot well, was fully capable of avoiding the tragic deaths of her parents and was not afraid of the seemingly strong but actually hollow protagonist. Her only worry was the powerful ally backing the protagonist. Then she discovered that the protagonist’s powerful ally was none other than the beautiful young man her father had rescued from the icy river last month! So Jiang Mianmian was completely reassured. With this life-saving favor, the young man would definitely not side with the protagonist against her family in the future. Moreover, Dashan took the initiative and said, "Little Lamb, I’d like to court you with the intent of getting a marriage license, is that okay?" As someone obsessed with good looks, Jiang Mianmian struggled and then reluctantly refused, “No, I plan to have a son-in-law who will marry into the family.” The powerful ally didn’t hesitate, “Then I’ll be the son-in-law who marries into the family, and the children will take the Jiang surname!” Jiang Mianmian: “Let’s go, get the marriage license!” (Updated and posted at 10:10 AM on the 16th of this month)

When people were asked what the true foundation of all life was, many would answer: Time, Space, Creation and Destruction, or even the cycle of Life and Death. None of these answers would be wrong… yet all of them would still be incomplete. What allows all these concepts to function as they should is Destiny. The Bard — also known as the Collector of Legends — exists in the form of a young man named Abel, who possesses an ability worthy of his title: HE TRANSFORMS THE STORIES, LEGENDS, MYTHS, AND FABLES HE HEARS INTO POWER! His existence walks side by side with destiny. Whether he knows this or not… is an entirely different story. This tale follows his path leading up to the beginning of his final journey — a story that may one day be told across this vast and endless universe.

The Aurelius, the Empire’s leading expedition airship, sets out to chart the frontier—where the last crew disappeared without a trace. Soren Eryndor, a quiet memoirist assigned to record the journey, expects routine observation. Instead, his notes begin to shift when reread. Footsteps echo on empty decks. Tension builds beneath the crew’s steady smiles. When the first crew member vanishes—silent, bloodless, impossible—Soren realizes something is watching their expedition. Ahead lies the ruin tied to the previous mission’s fate. Beside him stands Captain Atticus Riven—precise, unreadable, and carrying orders Soren isn’t meant to know. As the Aurelius drifts deeper into the frontier, Soren’s memoir becomes the only record of the truth. Because whatever is erasing the crew… may erase the memory of them next. ||||A slowburn BL steampunk mystery about the fragile lines between memory, reality, and the people who keep us anchored.|||| Author’s Note: This story is built from my own original plot, world, and characters. I draft and revise the chapters myself, with the help of AI-assisted writing tools for structure and speed. All final edits and creative decisions are mine.

The last heart witch was burned at the stake a hundred years ago… or so the vampires believed. ÃMÃRÃ has spent her whole life hiding in a quiet human town, pretending to be ordinary while forbidden magic pulses in her veins. One mistake, one spell on the night of the blood moon, and everything shatters. Her ritual was supposed to seal her powers. Instead, it binds her heart to his. Lucian, the ruthless vampire prince cursed by the gods, wakes up on a battlefield with a stranger’s heartbeat echoing in his chest. Her heartbeat. When he bleeds, she feels the pain. When she cries, he tastes the salt of her tears. When one of them dies… the other will follow. To break the curse, ÃMÃRÃ is dragged into the deadly world of vampire courts, ancient prophecies and blood-soaked thrones. She must help Lucian take back his crown and uncover the truth behind the massacre of her kind while hiding the fact that she is the last heart witch heir they failed to kill. But the more she fights him, the more the bond pulls them closer. His touch steadies her magic. Her presence calms his curse. Enemies whisper that she is his weakness. The gods whisper that she is his doom. Kill Lucian to save herself… or fall for him and doom them both. When a cursed vampire prince shares one heart with the last witch heir, is their bond a punishment or destiny?

Yu Xiao believed death was the end—until she awakened in another world as Feng Xiaotian, a feared sovereign erased from history and bound to the legendary Primordial Fire Phoenix. With no memories of this body’s past, she is hurled into ancient feuds, celestial conspiracies, and a demon king’s prophecy that has shaped the fate of the realms for tens of thousands of years. Enemies hunt her for a power she cannot yet command. Followers kneel before a ruler she does not remember being. And then there is Long Jianyu—the stoic Azure Heaven Sovereign, once the Young Master of the Blue Flames Pavilion, bearer of the last pure dragon bloodline… and the man cursed by An Chi through an unbreakable geas. Their fates were bound long before this lifetime—by phoenix fire and azure dragon blood, by genocide, prophecy, and a curse that turns love itself into a forbidden risk. Drawn together by destiny neither of them chose, their bond is as dangerous as it is irresistible. As sealed wars awaken and forgotten bloodlines rise, Yu Xiao must decide whether to sever fate itself… or burn with the man the heavens once tried to destroy. In a world ruled by fire, dragons, and divine curse, their love may be the only force that can shatter fate— or the final trigger that plunges all realms into ruin.

Alexander walked into the room, dressed in his royal white robe that shimmered faintly under the soft glow of the candlelight. His dark hair was slicked back neatly, revealing a face carved with precision and power — sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and lips that curved with quiet confidence. His midnight eyes, deep and commanding, scanned the room before landing on the figure sitting gracefully at the edge of the bed. Serena. Her emerald-green eyes locked with his, stealing his breath for a moment. The flickering light danced across her skin, giving her an ethereal glow. Her long ginger hair cascaded down her shoulders like streams of fire and sunlight combined, adorned with delicate golden hairpins that shimmered with every movement. She was dressed in a flowing white gown that mirrored his — simple yet enchanting, the fabric hugging her form in all the right places, making her seem like a divine vision come to life. For a brief moment, Alexander simply stared, unable to speak. Then, almost reverently, he crossed the room and knelt before her. His cold, powerful hands gently took hers — smaller, softer, trembling ever so slightly. “You look…” he paused, his voice low and rough, “…breathtaking.” Serena’s cheeks flushed a delicate shade of pink, her lips parting slightly as she met his gaze. “You always know what to say,” she whispered, her tone barely above a breath. He smiled faintly — that rare, almost forbidden smile that softened his usually stoic face. “Careful, Serena,” he murmured, his thumb tracing circles over her knuckles. “If you keep looking at me like that, you’ll make me lose myself.” Her eyes softened, the corner of her lips curving into a teasing smile. "Then lose yourself my king," she replied, her voice calm yet filled with unspoken desire. "lose yourself.... In me." Alexander didn't hesitate. He rose to his feet, his hands cupping her jaw as his thumb brushed against her lower lips. Their eyes met one more- predator and , darkness and light before he closed the distance between them. His lips crashed against hers, hungry and desperate, as if the world outside no longer mattered, Serena responded with equal passion, her hands tangling in his dark hair, pulling him closer until there was no space left between them.
