No mundo de Arthemis, a magia não é um dom, é uma herança de sangue que está secando. As grandes linhagens reais governam com o que resta de seus poderes, enquanto o povo comum sobrevive sob a sombra de cidades voadoras que ameaçam cair a qualquer momento. ​Lúcius não quer salvar o mundo. Ele é um contrabandista de relíquias que vive de restos, vendendo artefatos mágicos quebrados para pagar o aluguel de uma taverna imunda. Sua vida se resume a evitar guardas e não morrer de fome, até que ele invade o mausoléu de uma linhagem dada como extinta. ​Lá, ele não encontra ouro ou joias, mas uma coroa feita de ossos que se funde à sua própria pele ao toque. Agora, Lúcius carrega o peso de um reino morto e o poder de invocar memórias de guerreiros que já se transformaram em pó. Perseguido por reis que cobiçam seu novo "fardo" e assombrado pelas vozes daqueles que ele agora comanda, ele terá que decidir se usa essa herança para subir ao topo ou se quebra o ciclo de poder que está destruindo Arthemis. ​Em uma jornada onde o herói é egoísta, o vilão tem motivos compreensíveis e a magia cobra um preço em sanidade, Lúcius descobrirá que, às vezes, para sobreviver entre gigantes, é preciso se tornar o monstro que eles mais temem.

This will be the last time I let her down because it will be the last time she gives me the chance to.

She loved the wrong man and paid the price. Now she’s done with love, done with trust, and done with believing anyone cares. But life doesn’t end at heartbreak. Just when she thinks she has nothing left, someone unexpected enters her life—quiet, steady, patient. Someone who doesn’t want to take from her… but help her rise again. Her past wants her broken. Her future wants her brave. And between both stands a love that might finally be true. A story of pain, healing, second chances, and the strength to love again—only this time, the right way.

A youth steps onto a road, a road seeking dharmic salvation, a road to solve the secret behind dharmic perfection. His words, his deeds and his very belief will be put to the test on multiple occasions. Follow him, as he makes his judgement, broadens his perspective and proves his position. You will quickly find out that my writing style differs a lot from usual novels. I like to integrate information about the world, the characters and the martial arts dynamically into the dialogues and interactions between the characters. I won't write from the perspective of the main character exclusively, but include the view other characters have onto the things happening around them. I won't give you a curfew about the cultivation system, the world, the countries and the main character during the first chapter. I want you to unveil more about the story as you continue reading instead of explaining everything from the start and just follow plotlines. I don't know whether this will turn out to be a pro or a con, but I mainly write this story as an experiment and find my own personally exclusive style. This will include a lot of experimentation and it's possible that I'll fail hard at some occasions so please bear with me and tell me and share your honest thoughts about subjects I can improve on. For the start I plan on releasing chapters on a daily schedule at 4:20 am until we reach chapter 20. After chapter 20 we'll see whether I'll hold the schedule or take it down a notch to match up to my motivation. I don't own the cover image.

Before marrying Silas, Joyce had only met him three times. A marriage of convenience, a secret agreement, for a term of three years. She's fresh off a heartbreak — the man she chased for years told her they "weren't a good match." Silas has his own baggage: rumor says he's still hung up on a white moonlight who happens to look just like Joyce. So that's all she is. A substitute. ** In the second year of their marriage, on Joyce's birthday, she drank too much and, in front of everyone, tugged on his tie, pinning him underneath her: "You look... a lot like my husband." The Thorne family's second master, known for being rational and unfeeling, was flustered by her that night. He leaned in close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice, "Be good." The next day Joyce woke up to find her lips were swollen. This… Who did this! When she went to question him, she discovered Silas's lip was bitten. He stared at her and said slowly, "You crossed the line first." ** The scandal leaked. At a party, her ex-boyfriend stepped in: "She's mine. Who dares talk?" Then Silas walked in. The room went silent. "Yours? Since when?" "Joyce, tell me. Whose are you?" So much for the secret marriage. So much for being a substitute. This was supposed to be fake… wasn't it?

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
