Defy The Alpha(s)

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

Understanding the Last Two Sentences of the Citation in Mr. Guo Songtao's Letter to Li Hongzhang

The last two sentences of the quote from Mr. Guo Songtao's Letter to Li Hongzhang were: " If you don't accumulate small steps, you can't reach a thousand miles; if you don't accumulate small streams, you can't form a river." The meaning of this sentence was that if one wanted to succeed, one must have a certain amount of accumulation and hard work. Whether it was a small matter or a big matter, as long as he persisted in doing a little bit every day, he would gradually accumulate and eventually reach the goal of a thousand miles away. Similarly, if he wanted to become a great person, he must constantly work hard to accumulate from the small things to become a great person like the sea. This phrase was often used to encourage people to persevere in their lives and accumulate experience to achieve their goals.

The original text and translation of the Book of Rites

"Although there are delicacies" The original text says: Although there is a good dish, do not eat, do not know its meaning; Although there is the best way, do not learn, do not know its good. Therefore, only by learning can we know the deficiency of the people, and only by teaching can we know the difficulty of the people. Know that you are not enough, and then you can return to your original position; Know that you are in trouble, and then you can strengthen yourself. Therefore, teaching and learning are mutually beneficial. "Dui Ming" said "learning half," is this what it means? Although there is delicious meat, if you don't taste it, you won't know its sweetness. Although there is the best reason, if you don't learn it, you won't know its benefits. Therefore, only after learning could one know one's own shortcomings. Only after teaching others could one know that there were areas that one did not understand. Only when one knew one's own shortcomings could one reflect on oneself. Only when one knew what one did not understand could one encourage oneself. Therefore, preaching and learning were mutually reinforcing. "Shang Shu·Shuo Ming" said: "Teaching is half of learning." This was probably the reason, right? "The Way of the Great Way" Original text: The road is also the world for the public, choose the wise and able, talk about trust and harmony. Therefore, people do not only love their parents, do not only love their children, so that the old have a place to die, the strong have a place to be used, the young have a place to grow up, the lonely, the widowed, the lonely, the disabled and the sick have a place to support, the men have a place to go, and the women have a place to go. Money is hated to be thrown on the ground, but it does not have to be hidden in oneself; Power is hated not to come from oneself, but it does not have to come from oneself. Therefore, the strategy is closed but not active, the theft and rebellion are not active, and the door is not closed. This is called Great Harmony. When the Great Way was implemented, the world was shared by all people. People with high moral character and capable people were selected, and integrity was emphasized to cultivate harmony (atmosphere). Therefore, people not only support their parents, not only raise their children, but also make sure that the elderly can live out their days, the middle-aged can contribute to society, and the young can grow up smoothly, so that the elderly without wives, the elderly without husbands, the children who lost their fathers when they were young, the elderly without children, and the disabled can all be supported. Men had their duties, and women had their homes. People hate to throw things on the ground, but they don't have to keep them for themselves. People are willing to do their best for the public, not necessarily for their own personal gain. Therefore, evil schemes would not happen, theft, rebellion, and harm would not happen, and so the door would be closed from the outside instead of being bolted. This was the ideal society.
