THE CRONICLE OF THE VAMPIRE LORD AND CHINESE IMMORTAL

THE CRONICLE OF THE VAMPIRE LORD AND CHINESE IMMORTAL

A romantic-comedy action saga of eternal love, endless reincarnation, and two immortals who refuse to give up. For thousands of years, a woman named Elara has been trapped in a cruel celestial curse: Every time she dies, she is reborn— in a new body, a new life, a new era… but never free. Across 47 reincarnations, two immortal beings have chased her through history: Aldren The sharp-tongued, dramatic Vampire Lord, master of blood arts, world-class overthinker, and hopeless romantic who burns kitchens when trying to impress her. Li Wusheng The stoic, ancient Chinese Immortal, cultivator of the Heavenly Dao, socially awkward around modern humans, and eternally calm—except when Aldren exists. They are rivals. They are enemies. They are in love with the same woman. And they have been fighting for her for millennia. Elara’s 47 Lives Princess. Pirate queen. Imperial medic. Vampire bride. Every lifetime reveals a new side of her… and another tragic end. Haunted by dreams she can’t understand, Elara slowly regains her memories— and along with them, the emotional weight of every love, loss, and death she once endured. Her two immortals do everything to win her heart: Competing in martial duels Destroying cities by accident Fighting sky demons at 3AM Arguing in parking lots Attempting romantic gestures that go terribly wrong All while Elara tries to survive her newest reincarnation. The Truth of the Curse Elara is not cursed because of love. She is cursed because she is the Eternal Core— the reincarnation engine that sustains the realms. If she stops reincarnating… existence collapses. A celestial deity seeks to reclaim her power. Aldren and Li are forced into an uneasy alliance to protect her. For the first time in history, the three stand together. The Final Battle and a New Beginning When the deity attacks Earth, Elara unleashes memories of all her past selves. She saves the realms— but her soul shatters once more. Reincarnation #48 begins somewhere in the modern world. Aldren and Li swear to find her again. Their rivalry reignites instantly: “I’ll find her first!” “Your senses are inferior.” “You outdated bamboo-stick monk—!” “You overdramatic bat—!” And somewhere in the city, a teenage girl looks up at the sky, unknowingly waiting for chaos to enter her life again. Thus continues the eternal chase: A comedy of immortals, a romance spanning ages, and a destiny that refuses to end.

A Tale of Chinese New Year Lovers: My Dragon, My Love

A Tale of Chinese New Year Lovers: My Dragon, My Love

"When Chinese New Year happens, that's the only time I get to see him." - AX Althea Xi, an orphan and a freelance article writer in most Shanghai mainland broadcasting and newspaper companies wanted to become a famous top author in China through an international competition that will end before the new year of 2023. She came up with the decision to use the 'The Legend of the Cursed Dragon' as her setting for her work, in which her deceased grandmother always told her when it was nighttime when she was just a kid. But fate turned the tables around when she has been disqualified from the competition as soon as she used the prohibited folklore. She used that opportunity to abandon the story that was etched through her mind for a long time by throwing the bejeweled box that she was forbidden to open to the Yangtze River. Her deceased grandmother had been guarding it since her teenage years, and she knew that the box and the legend had been bringing her a stroke of bad luck all throughout her life. But before she could even leave the river, she accidentally tripped through rocks and fell down on the deep waters. She swam upwards with all her might, but little did she know, she was being transported through the year 1904, where a Chinese New Year celebration was happening on the side of the river. --------------------------- A LITTLE EXCERPT: "I exude a powerful charm I never imagined that would save you." "It was because of the power of love we have on each other." He then claimed her lips in the middle of the rain while the rivers of the Yangtze River were evident. He held onto her waist after a while. And she scraped her fingernails on his hair. They both love each other, they both do. ---------------------------- DISCLAIMER: The characters portrayed in this drama are fictitious. Organizations, names, places, and situations are based on imagination. The story used Chinese New Year as a reference for the Chinese New Year contest, and no distortion of historical resources had been made. Only the parallels of the worlds had been used, and the reality of Chinese mythology had been inked through this novel. The cover's background rights reserved through Pinterest artworks.

Book Recommendations for Contemporary Fiction
I would recommend 'Where the Crawdads Sing' by Delia Owens. This book combines a murder mystery with a coming - of - age story set in the marshes of North Carolina. The main character, Kya, is a fascinating and strong - willed girl who has to fend for herself in a harsh world. Also, 'Educated' by Tara Westover can be considered contemporary fiction. It's a memoir that reads like a novel, telling the story of a girl growing up in a strict and isolated Mormon family and her journey to education and self - liberation.
