Is this destiny?

Sarah Hill is an introvert who does not want to attract attention. Other than mad coding skills, Sarah knows how to throw a punch. She believes that her biggest problem is the existence of the hacker Omega and her world flips upside-down when the most popular guy on campus approaches her. What does he want? Why her? (Ah, Sarah, that is only the beginning.) JoAnna Hill easily makes friends with her bubbly personality. Some call her a mad scientist, but she prefers ‘Dr. Hill’, because that is what she is. JoAnna is an excellent markswoman who can snipe out any target and she is wondering if her prince charming will ever come. Sophia Hill is the voice of reason, their pillar of support. She is a confident CEO who knows how to get what she wants. Sophia’s degree in law combined with amazing capabilities to analyze the situation and plan ahead make her the perfect strategist (to achieve a goal without ending up in jail). This is a story of three Hill sisters who are navigating through challenges while they uncover the complicated story behind their maternal side of the family. And their father is not a simple man either. Every sister is different, and so are their relationships. They all have in common: trust and belief that if they work together, anything is possible.

Aiden didn't expect such a question. "Yes. The thing that is meant to happen, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. And when it does happen, everything feels right." "Why would you ask me such a thing?" "Until a few weeks ago I would say that there is no such thing as destiny. That we are all masters of our lives and that everything depends on our actions, or lack of it. But I can't help but wonder: why did I not push you away? ... Why does it feel like everything will be OK as long as we are together? ... You are a piece of me that I never knew was missing. Is this destiny?" "Mmm... if that is destiny, then I approve it.", Aiden lightly kissed Sarah's shoulder and rested his chin on it. --- 1st WARNING!!! Contains descriptions of intimate scenes.

My Pet Beast is really not an Evil God

My Pet Beast is really not an Evil God

Gary Smith arrived in a peculiar world of beastmasters, where an ancient taboo was reborn from the depth of time, and an evil god was lurking. In this world, birds and beasts, rivers and mountains, even elements could spawn spiritual power and turn into pet beasts. Among them, the powerful ones became ecological niches by themselves, radiating secret realm ecosystems such as the Yellow Spring, Skeleton Kingdom, Succubus Nest, and Kingdom of the Sky Tree, nurturing countless followers. The beastmasters make contracts with the pet beasts, nurture them, and control the spiritual power. After witnessing the "Taboo Sun" event, Gary Smith obtained the ability to extract materials from everything in the world and compile "Secret Food". Through the Evolutionary Secret Food, the combination of "The Shattered Dusk World" + "Ancient Dragon’s Dead Egg" results in the Feast of the End. When the pet beast consumes it, it evolves into the Dusk Dragon God. The Dusk Domain erodes the world, turning into the God at the end of time. The Skill Secret Food allows the pet beasts to plunder skills from everything, becoming omniscient and omnipotent. The Sacrificial Secret Food snatches the taboo time, sacrifices the ancient beings, and blasphemes against the gods. His style of beast control also started to become peculiar. There is the Spider Shadow that devours ancient dragons and weaves dreams of all lives with its threads, the Red Master that pollutes the multiverse, and the Devourer of the Realms, who consumes worlds... In response to this, he explained, "My pet beasts are just a bit peculiar. They really are not evil gods!"

The Ancients 'Evaluation of the Song of Everlasting Sorrow
Zhang Jie, a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, commented in his Sui Han Tang Poetry Notes that the phrase " so that the hearts of all parents will not be reborn into men and women " in the Song of Everlasting Regret was written in a shallow way. However, this point of view was unreasonable because Bai Juyi's poetry style was straightforward, and he deliberately pursued simplicity and ease of understanding. This was also the reason why his poems were popular at that time. Zhou Zizhi, a scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, pointed out in his "Bamboo Slope Poetry Notes" that the two famous sentences describing Yang Yuhuan's appearance in "Song of Everlasting Regret" were very vulgar. However, this evaluation was influenced by the Song Dynasty's emphasis on reason and light literary grace. It was not wise to evaluate Tang poetry by the standard of Song poetry. Yuan Mei, a poet of the Qing Dynasty, pointed out that there was something wrong with the Song of Everlasting Regret in his Suiyuan Poetry Notes, but the specific information did not mention which sentence. The novel "Song of Everlasting Sorrow: Morning and Evening" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

the spirit of the ancients
The ancients displayed a unique spiritual outlook in many aspects. In terms of scholarly studies, Confucius believed that poetry could arouse, observe, group, and complain, and was related to enlightenment. Learning poetry could cultivate one's nature, cultivate one's heart, and regulate one's behavior. This reflected the ancient people's respect for knowledge and the importance of self-cultivation. From the perspective of his attitude towards life, Su Shi expressed his attitude towards the past in "Looking at Jiangnan·Transcendental Taiwan Works"."Things are all in the past, just like falling into a steamer, there is no way to recover". Only by putting down the old things can he be calm in his heart, reflecting the open-minded outlook on life of the ancients. Huang Tingjian, in one of the Seven Mixed Poems, lamented that wealth in the world was like a dream. Even though he was demoted, he could still recognize that freedom did not lie in wealth but in keeping his heart, which reflected the free and easy spirit of not being burdened by wealth. In Return to the Capital, Lu You lamented his 30 years of running and his frost-stained hair. After seeing the white gulls at ease, he realized something from his concern for his livelihood and career. He inspired future generations to treat life with relaxation and lightness. Life was used to experience and not to interpret perfection. Pan Lang exhorted his elder brother not to sigh that everything was not as good as others. Life was like a dream for a hundred years, each had its own splendor, and the poor and rich had their own taste. He advocated contentment and happiness, showing the spiritual realm of not blindly comparing with others and seeking for oneself. Feng Dao mentioned in the Heavenly Dao that "the poor and the rich are all destined, why sigh?" However, knowing a good thing, don't ask about the future."It conveyed a calm attitude of following fate, actively doing good deeds, and not asking about the future. The spirit embodied in these poems of the ancients, such as open-mindedness, freedom, calmness, contentment, etc., had a certain enlightenment significance for the problems faced by people in modern society, such as spiritual internal friction, being trapped by money, worrying about life, and comparison. The novel,"The Morality of the Past", is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

The poems of the ancients
From the reference materials, we can know that there is such a poem: Dyed ink has not written the heart, the moon falls to hear who plays the empty flute. Happiness comes only in a moment of anger, but the meaning is only long-lasting yearning. I want to be an old man drunk for the rest of his life, singing folk songs to go home, and stepping on the spring mud sighing in the west. Alone I drink wine to the moon, empty pity old crows perched on lonely branches. A tree full of flowers froze the night snow, a thousand kinds of yearning for the frost white. How can I know what is going on in the world? I'll be an old man drunk for the rest of my life. This poem expressed the feeling of listening to music in the bar. Another example was " A flick of the water and a flick of the moon. The water and moon are like pine branches. Guqin in the Wind, Lu Tong of Tang Dynasty. The five tones and six rhythms have thirteen emblems, and the dragon roars and cranes think of cooking. A flick of the water and a flick of the moon, the wind blows on the pine branches." It can also be regarded as a poem related to listening to music. While waiting for the TV series, you can also click on the link below to read the classic original work of "Dafeng Nightwatchman"!
