“He started with nothing—no family, no allies, just a broken city and a system whispering secrets in his ear.” In the back alleys of modern-day China, Shen Fu wakes up to a mysterious system. It doesn’t give him power to fly or fight—but it gives him information. Access. Control. From selling scraps to crushing syndicates, Shen moves through the shadows with cold calculation and ruthless precision. As enemies fall and rivals kneel, new allies emerge—a street-smart tech girl, a cunning influencer, and more—drawn into his growing empire. But in a world ruled by data, reputation, and quiet war… How far can one man go before he becomes what he once ran from? A gritty blend of urban realism, system power, and a touch of harem heat, this is not your usual rags-to-riches story. This is the rise of the richest.

Noah was never meant to be free, only useful. Created by the Omnarchs, the ancient beings who embody the Nine Supreme Laws of existence, he carries a bloodline with no name, no history, and a soul deliberately left incomplete. As he rises from a quiet academy in Gaelia to the fractured continent of Celestara and beyond, Noah discovers he can touch every Law at once where others are bound to just one — and that this gift was never meant as a kindness. Surrounded by a found family who never try to fix him, Noah uncovers the truth behind his parents' deaths, the soul lock waiting to erase him, and the looming threat of the Semi-Polyarch — a being of pure collapse born from the same catastrophe that made him possible. As his power grows toward something the world has no word for, Noah faces an impossible choice: become Eternity itself, perfect and absolute and alone, or remain exactly what he has always fought to be. Incomplete. Imperfect. Real. (This is a remake of my original novel, Beyond Mortal Rules)

"My justice shattered with a single scream." In the Empire's darkest depths, our revolution was sacred. We believed our sacrifices would be enshrined as noble history. "Please... stop...

Hi. I'm Ellis. I may look like a girl but I'm not. I'm non-binary. I entered 9th grade this year. People ask me all the time if it's hard or if I'm having the time of my life. I've always had an easy time with school, so it certainly wasn't hard despite the now highschool level classes, and even though I enjoyed school and loved going, I was definitely not having the time of my life. Since I'm so good at school and my grades are stunning for the average person, I've always been told that I would be successful in my life. No one told me what successful meant, they just told me to go into a STEM field where I would excel. So, that was my goal. I would succeed. ~~~ There was a moment of silence where she simply looked at me, inching forward until our lips were centimeters apart. I was scared. I wasn't ready for this or so I thought due to my racing heart. Not even 3 seconds later, her lips had melted into mine and for the first time, I understood why people were in love. I understood why people closed their eyes when they kissed. I suddenly stopped caring about my applications to the various prestigious colleges where my major was to be in the medical world or if I was going to get an MD or a PHD. None of it mattered while this beautiful girl's lips were on mine. Nothing mattered except her. ~~~ Teen LGBTQ+ High School Romance! ARTWORK IS MY OWN, PLEASE DON'T STEAL

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.

Three years of devotion. Three years of loving Julian with everything she had. Only to be framed for a divorce and personally sent to prison by him. "I didn't kill her," Evelyn begged. "I didn't kill the woman you love." "I don't believe you." Facing a death sentence with no one to turn to, Evelyn made the most desperate choice of her life — she threw herself at the one person Julian would never forgive. His younger brother. "Get me pregnant. Please. It's the only way I survive." Because pregnant women are not subject to the death penalty. By the time the truth surfaced and Julian realized the woman he destroyed was innocent, it was already too late. He dropped to his knees. "Eve, I was wrong. Give me one more chance." A hand caught his wrist before he could touch her. "She's already my wife, brother."
