the matriarch

Bai Chuwei has lived for five thousand years, and after becoming an ancestor of all human beings, she descends the mountains and initiates the plot of a novel. A new female student is transferred into Henghua Secondary School Year 3. The young lady has bright eyes, white teeth, red lips and her appearance is similar to an immortal fairy. But unfortunately, she has Eighth-Grader Syndrome. “The wealth of ten Duan Family added together does not even make up half of my combined wealth over the past five thousand years.” “The first classic masterpiece of China? Oh I casually wrote that for fun two decades ago.” “Scientific research isn’t comparable to flying in the skies with a sword. Today, this ancestor here shall teach everyone how to cultivate scientifically.” The online lurkers reveal a snort of contempt and wait to see Bai Chuwei slapping herself in the face after acting so pretentiously. Eventually, the China Property Statistics Association reveals this particular information: The respected ancestor is the richest person in the world, owning the most number of gold mines, hundreds of islands, and countless property worldwide. China Writer’s Association: @Bai Chuwei, Respected ancestor, when will you continue updating your book after having stopped it for two centuries?

Li Wei lived a dull, overworked life—until destiny (or a rogue truck) intervened, catapulting him into a world of mystical cultivators and deadly power struggles. Waking up in the body of Li Wei, the infamous and lazy heir of the Immortal Ice Sect, he finds himself in a precarious position: surrounded by enemies, burdened by a reputation for arrogance, and targeted for assassination. The only thing worse than inheriting this life? Realizing his new body’s cultivation potential is off the charts... if only the previous owner hadn’t been an idle narcissist. With the sect matriarch as his coldly disappointed mother, a stoic yet dangerously competent protector in the ice-cold beauty Leng Yue, and a mysterious "Young Master System" pushing him toward reckless behavior, Li Wei must balance survival with ambition. Every quest forces him to embrace the absurdities of an over-the-top cultivation world—whether humiliating enemies or accumulating riches—while concealing his true identity as a transmigrator. But as he’s exiled from the safety of his sect and thrown into the chaotic world below, Li Wei quickly learns that charisma, cunning, and a knack for manipulation might be even deadlier than swordsmanship. After all, why fight fair when you can command, deceive, and dominate? With ancient relics, feuding clans, and dangerous beauties complicating his journey, Li Wei's rise through the cultivation ranks is anything but conventional. What starts as a quest for survival may just become a path to unstoppable power... assuming his outrageous system quests don’t get him killed first. Will Li Wei overcome his past’s shameful legacy, outsmart his enemies, and become the true master of his destiny—or will his laziness, scheming rivals, and shameless arrogance bring him to ruin? ------------ Discord: https://discord.gg/U29paHWKEN

Before the world crumbled, there was the so-called all-giving light. A tremendous blast of white and black glow broke through the skies, engulfing the earth and raining drops of what looked like stardust. It was an unexplainable phenomenon. Everyone thought it was a new weapon of mass destruction that had lost control, being tested by the countries that held superpowers. Thus the beginning of a short little skirmish between them as they tried to blame one another for it. But then, while the world was at war between themselves, it began. It started with certain people suddenly developing godly powers. Some had super strength, others were unparalleled speed and so on, making the conflict continue with a unique twist. Everything was now engulfed in chaos, destruction, and anarchy as new rulers rose and the old was slowly being replaced and disposed of. And during this time, a young Chris Cruz is thrust into the world of power struggle because of his need to provide for his family. Being deemed as an irregularity for having so much energy, yet with no proper use, they considered him a dud, a waste, and a totally worthless case. Thus, they keep him in the research division to serve as a guinea-pig for finding out more about the said phenomena. With no choice as a soldier, he is forced into missions and predicaments that put his life on the line. And throughout all these obstacles, the power in him slowly adapts, but at the same time, all of it begins to consume him. Will Chris be able to stay as he was? Or will everything completely change him? As the world starts to look different from his point of view with each awakening, eating every piece of his humanity away.

Five years ago, Lyra Thorne was an Omega, scorned and wolf-less, when her mate, Alpha Ronan Kaelen, betrayed her. Fearing the Ancient Bloodline power carried by their infant son, Leo, Ronan publicly exiled Lyra, falsely accusing her of theft to protect his own political standing. Left alone to wander the wilderness in a desperate downpour, Lyra swore a vow: she would return not to beg for forgiveness, but to claim the throne Ronan thought was his. Now, she is Lyra Thorne, the CEO of Aura Dynamics, a financial genius, and the master of the terrifying, dormant Crimson Fire magic. She is back, and Ronan's mighty Shadowclaw Pack is collapsing under the weight of his incompetence and the corrupt Elders he placated. For the survival of his Pack and the protection of his son, Ronan Kaelen is forced to do the unthinkable: he must beg for Lyra’s help. Lyra’s terms are ruthless: she demands his absolute and public groveling, his complete corporate surrender, and the total demolition of his Alpha pride. As Ronan hands over his multi-billion dollar empire, sacrifices his dignity, and fights as her subordinate 'Matriarch's Shadow,' he desperately tries to prove he is finally the man and father she needs. But when a lethal attack targets Leo and Ronan sacrifices his own life to shield his son—triggering Leo's ancient healing power—Lyra must choose: will she finally forgive the man who nearly died for them, or will she choose the peace offered by the gentle, human rival, Liam Devereux? The price of her crown is agonizingly clear: Lyra wins her war, claims the Alpha title, and appoints Ronan as her devoted guardian, the Matriarch's Shadow. But her final verdict leaves Ronan in perpetual agony: she accepts his service and his sacrifice, but rejects the mate bond, forcing the man who betrayed her to grovel eternally by her side, close enough to protect, but too far to truly possess.

In a future where quantum childbirth reshapes cosmic order, Dr. Elara Voss, a Black astrophysicist, attempts to resurrect her cryogenically preserved wife Mira—only to trigger a military conspiracy weaponizing "quantum pregnancies" to breed alien-human hybrids. When Mira’s body is seized by the Continuum, a post-human collective from humanity’s matriarchal future, Elara becomes the first successful host of a hybrid fetus merging her wife’s consciousness with alien code. Teaming with Nyx, a Kurdish engineer wielding an ancestral midwifery prosthetic, and Hana, a Korean quantum physicist half-assimilated into alien AI, Elara races to dismantle the Continuum’s ultimatum: sterilize free will for utopian stability or let reality collapse into chaos. Their rebellion culminates in a galactic referendum where mothers across star systems shatter cycles of trauma, choosing imperfect autonomy over sterile control.
