The 'Druid's Tower' gloomed in darkness, save for the flickering torches that barely lit it. And housed at the center of a rotunda in the Druid's Tower, was a very large wooden grey table known as 'The Council' (with the alphas of the different packs in Michigan seated about it). For generations, serious matters had been brought and settled before The Council. But was it the case of this present matter? A mischievous werewolf had killed not one, not two but three alpha werewolves, leaving the council wondering what he might decide to do with the amount of power he has gained.

Journeying through the vast and perilous Primordial World, Xuantian is born as the first human created by Nuwa, the primordial ancestor of the human race. Upon awakening, he activates the mysterious Primordial Harmony System, binding the fate of the entire human clan to himself—their cultivation, insights, fortune, and destiny all become his to command. Yet, in this ancient era ruled by gods, demons, and celestial clans, humanity is weak, languishing at the bottom of the hierarchy. Branded as prey by the mighty demon race, their future is bleak. In the timeline ahead, demons will forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, unleashing catastrophe upon the human race and pushing them to the brink of extinction—the most tragic calamity in all of prehistory. But Xuantian dares to defy fate. He boldly leads the entire human race into the secluded safety of a blessed cave-heaven, withdrawing from the bloody struggles of the prehistoric world. For a moment, the world trembles. The mighty sages and great powers are all thrown into chaos: Taiqing Laozi: “With the human race in retreat, my path to sainthood has vanished!” Emperor Dijun & Taiyi: “Without the human race to forge the Witch-Slaying Sword, how can we defeat the witch clan?” Yuanshi & Tongtian: “If our elder brother fails to become a saint, how can we follow?” With the retreat of humanity, Nuwa seals herself within the Nuwa Palace, and the prehistoric era enters an age without saints. But when the human race once again emerges from the secluded lands, an overwhelming saintly pressure rises from the primeval realm, shaking the heavens and rewriting destiny itself… Greetings, I will be releasing 5-10 chapters per week, and will be increasing the release times more after the views and supports from the audience gets high.

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.
