MOUNTAIN SITTING IMMORTAL (MSI) A conduit of the great Dao happened to enter the grotto heaven called Earth. No one had been able to take ownership of this conduit for many years until Marvin came into contact with it.  Marvin met the requirement to use the conduit. This allowed him to begin his journey towards immortality.  The journey begins from transcending the first mortal coil at Body Forging to transcending the second at Energy Gathering, passing through the subsequent mortal coils, and hopefully to becoming a true immortal with eternal life. But the conduit is far more useful than helping a dying business tycoon gain another lease at life. It is also a conduit of great power.  This power and many more will be his as long as he continues to sit on his mountain and grows the mountain into a colossus. The mountain will bring him to greater heights and greater power.  This is the story of the Mountain Sitting Immortal. DISCORD: https://discord.gg/wA7n2M23Aw

*** This story will be temporarily on hold. I am sorry to my readers if I can't continue to write this at the moment. I plan to finish The Royal Contract first this month before continuing to write this one. Again, I am asking for your understanding. Due to financial reasons, I need to write a new book for now. A Contract to Marry the Cold-hearted CEO I hope you will give it a try. Thanks again for reading my stories. *** Little girls dreamed of sparkling tiaras and fancy gowns. Little boys wanted to drive fast cars. Well, could she have both? And the father she had never met as a bonus. Luisa was the spunky, street-smart girl next door that wanted her life to have meaning. She lived her life like she was not exceptional except when she was behind the wheel, racing for the finish line. But was that all she wanted? One day, a man dressed up in an impeccable suit came up to her and told her she was a princess, heir to the throne. Insane, right? He was a prince and a successful tycoon who almost had everything except one thing. He wanted the crown. But he had no birthright to rule the Kingdom. Until he discovered there was another way for him to become King. However, he had to agree to the conditions and convince his future Queen of his plans. Easy, right? Would an arrangement be the solution to what they both desire? Would Luisa submit to what Liam proposed? Or would they get more than what they bargained for in the end? Note: This story is related to the Royal Contract book. Still, it is a standalone story. There is no need to read the other book to understand it.

Teddy Fox doesn’t do feelings. He does contracts. Numbers. Leverage. The cold-blooded kind of business his old-money parents raised him for. But when they arrange his marriage to Mabel Harrigan… the most dangerous heiress in New York… Teddy knows it’s not tradition. It’s a corporate trap with a diamond ring. His solution? Scandal. He offers his secretary, Jill Matteo, a deal: pretend to be his lover in public until the Harrigans are shamed into walking away. Paparazzi photos. Gala appearances. Tabloid headlines. The payout will erase her family’s debts for good. For Jill, it’s just business… until it isn’t. The fake touches start to feel real. The banter turns intimate. And every time Teddy’s hand finds her waist in front of a camera, it gets harder to remember this is a game. But Teddy’s enemies aren’t just watching. They’re circling. And Mabel plays dirtier than anyone Jill’s ever met. Lies become weapons. Family secrets turn toxic. And the deeper Jill falls, the more she realizes: she isn’t just a pawn in Teddy’s war. She’s the one piece no one saw coming… and the ne everyone wants to break.

When Eva Sterling’s world collapses—her job gone, her apartment taken, and her stability reduced to dust—the last thing she expects is to be pulled into the orbit of a man like Derek Blackwell. Powerful. Ruthless. Magnetic. And hiding a life more dangerous than anyone whispers. Their first encounter is a spark that neither fully understands. But Derek sees something in Eva—strength, innocence, and a fire he thought he’d lost the right to want. When circumstances push her to the edge, Derek offers a lifeline: a six-month arrangement that promises security, protection, and a lifestyle she has never imagined. The price? Eva belongs at his side. At events. At private dinners. And in the intimate spaces of his controlled, secretive world. Eva knows the deal is a bad idea. Derek is intense, unreadable, and rumoured to have enemies that never sleep. But their chemistry is undeniable—teasing glances, charged touches, and an attraction that deepens every time he slips past her defenses. As Eva steps deeper into Derek’s luxurious world, she begins sensing shadows behind the wealth: men watching, rivals circling, secrets buried beneath his empire. Derek tries to protect her with dominance and distance, but the more he pushes Eva away, the more their connection ignites—sensual, dangerous, and impossible to contain. Their bond sharpens as passion erupts between them, revealing Derek’s vulnerability and Eva’s growing desire to understand the man behind the mask. But Derek Blackwell’s life is built on more than business. He is a man with a past steeped in betrayal, a rival determined to destroy him, and an underground arrangement that once cost him everything. When danger closes in, Eva becomes the target—not by accident, but because of Derek’s secrets. Forced to confront lies that run deep into Derek’s empire, Eva must decide if she can trust a man who tries to control everything… except his feelings for her. Together, they navigate jealousy, betrayal, hidden enemies, explosive passion, and the truth that threatens to tear them apart. Every revelation pulls Eva closer into Derek’s world— and deeper into the kind of love she never believed could exist. As threats reach their peak, Derek risks everything to keep Eva alive. She, in turn, must face the darkest part of his past—and choose whether to stand with him or break free from a man whose love is both salvation and fire. In the end, love, desire, and danger collide, forcing them into a final, breathtaking choice: Walk away before they destroy each other… or fight for a future built on truth, passion, and loyalty strong enough to defy the past. The Billionaire’s Secret Arrangements is a sweeping, sensual, high-stakes romance where secrets seduce, danger tempts, and two broken souls learn that the most powerful arrangement of all… is love.

Sophie Wexler transmigrated into a novel about The Galaxy, becoming the vicious, F-rank Healer-class cannon fodder. The original owner constantly caused trouble and made things difficult for the female lead, earning her the hatred of the entire internet. Upon transmigrating and seeing that everything had been ruined by the original owner, Sophie's only thought was: "What kind of nightmare start is this?!" To escape the original owner's fate, Sophie Wexler worked diligently, conducted herself conscientiously, stayed away from the male and female leads, compensated the soldiers harmed by the original owner, and strove to be a model citizen of The Galaxy, absolutely refusing to be the cannon fodder 'offed' by the Imperial Marshal! Broke and powerless, Sophie also had to support a man who'd been innocently dragged into the original owner's mess. She had no choice but to hustle. She started live streaming, became a masked singer, and held concerts. At first, netizens were scornful: 【Tsk, how good can she possibly sound?】 Later, the netizens were forced to eat their words. 【Damn, that's so good I'm on my knees!】 【What the hell, the violent episode of my Disorder Period has actually been soothed?!】 【The toxins in my Spiritual Sea have actually been eliminated!】 Her live streams went viral, the masked singer became a huge sensation, and tickets for her concerts were snapped up across The Galaxy. Sophie was content, thinking, "This time, I must have finally escaped the original owner's fate, right?" But what do you know, the man I've been doting on and supporting is actually the Imperial Marshal?! --- One day, Yancey Forrest came home to find that the boisterous person who was always claiming to be good to him was gone. His eyes darkened. Provoke me and then think you can leave? After catching her, Yancey traced his fingertips along Sophie's neck, smiling gently. "Why run?" Sophie trembled. "You... you're the Imperial Marshal?" His identity exposed, Yancey Forrest took her hand and slowly placed it on his own neck ring. "You know I won't kill you, don't you?"
