Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

Defy The Alpha(s)

Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

The female villain has a biased grandmother, a mooching uncle and his family, a blindly filial father, and a spineless mother. She was a small-time thief as a child. As an adult, she committed every kind of evil — constantly framing the female lead — and ultimately met a miserable end. The female lead is the only daughter in another family, doted on by her older brothers. The villain targeted her out of pure jealousy. And now, Deng Yuyuan has become that villain's cowardly mother — and the villain herself is currently just an ugly, wrinkly-faced infant. The blindly filial father loves his wife, but gives all the good things to his own mother. He says to his starving wife and daughter: "Xiao Yuan, come drink some water. I specially heated it for you." Deng Yuyuan looks at her own bony frame and her tiny child — and decides to get a divorce. Goodbye, useless husband.

Riding the wave of the times, Deng Yuyuan works her way up to become a gaming tycoon and a cutting-edge scientist... Except — why are so many men fighting to be her cub's stepfather?

The classic quote of breaking through the sky and the shadow
Ling Ying's classic quote was,"Is the Misty Cloud Sect very amazing? Although your words carry some weight within the Jia Ma Empire, you are merely a second-rate faction on the Dou Qi continent. What qualifications do you have to speak to me in this manner? It is unexpected that the Misty Cloud Sect has actually nurtured frogs at the bottom of a well like you. Haha, the reputation that Yun Potian painstakingly earned back then will probably be ruined in your hands." <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

What does it mean to hold the flag and hold the festival
Holding the banner and holding the talisman referred to holding the banner and talisman to command and control power. In ancient times, commanding a military governor was a symbolic act, representing the duty and power of a general or a military governor.

Breaking the law and breaking the law
Renegade refers to not clinging to anything in the world, not being greedy, not being confused, not being troubled, but transcending the cycle of life and death to reach a state of mind that is pure and free. Dharma obsession refers to the false obsession of not knowing the causes and effects of all dharmas and thinking that there is an independent objective entity in the outside world. From the point of view of the renunciation, when a person had renunciation, he could see through the impermanence of everything in the world, including the Dharma, which was born by karma and not an independent entity. Reneging one's mind would make one not be obsessed with things in the world, including the Dharma. From there, one would be able to recognize the nature of Dharma obsession. When facing all kinds of dharma, people who have renounced the mind are not obsessed with the constancy and independence of their appearances, so they can look at it with a transcendental attitude and will not fall into the wrong cognition of dharma. For example, the renunciation of the heart could allow people to understand the changes of the various laws, instead of stubbornly believing that the law was a fixed and unchanging objective entity, thus breaking the law at the cognitive level. Reneging one's mind could also allow one to reflect on one's own emptiness and realize that one's own understanding of the law was constantly changing. There was no fixed self that was obsessed with the materiality of the law, so one could avoid falling into the law from a deeper level of self-awareness. By practicing some methods of separation, such as practicing righteous thoughts and awareness, he could observe the phenomenon of the Dharma with a pure and untainted mind at every moment. He would not be disturbed by the past and the future, not be affected by emotions, and not be affected by likes, dislikes, and right and wrong. This would prevent him from having a wrong understanding and judgment of the Dharma, and fundamentally break the Dharma. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!" The novel is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

hold the reins of power
Empress Dowager Cixi was able to hold power alone because she killed eight ministers after the Xinyou coup and held the highest ruling power of the Qing Empire. Empress Dowager Ci 'an restricted Empress Dowager Cixi, but after Empress Dowager Ci' an's sudden death, Empress Dowager Cixi finally reached the peak of power and could cover the sky with one hand. In addition, Empress Dowager Cixi was the biological mother of Emperor Muzong of the Qing Dynasty and the adoptive mother of Emperor Dezong of the Qing Dynasty, so it was reasonable in terms of patriarch system. As for the people who supported her, the article did not mention them.
