Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes.

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.

Zen with a calm mind
The following were some Zen words that expressed indifference: - "It's better to have a clear conscience than to gain something or not." This Zen language conveyed an indifferent attitude towards gains and losses. No matter whether one obtained it or not, as long as one's heart was at ease, it was an ideal state of mind. - "I can't get my heart in the past, now, or in the future." It emphasized not being obsessed with the past, the present, and the future. It was to look at the flow of time with a detached attitude, thus achieving the indifference of the state of mind. - " If the heart doesn't move, the person won't act rashly. If the heart doesn't move, the person won't be hurt. If the heart moves, the person will act rashly, hurting the body and hurting the bones. Thus, the person will experience all kinds of pain in the world." It advocated keeping one's heart calm and not having any wild thoughts to avoid being hurt. It reflected a state of mind that was indifferent to the world and not disturbed by external things. - "One worry and one joy are the fire of the heart, one glory and one death are the dust of the eyes. Calm your heart and see through the hot and cold things. You will never dream." It expressed the indifference of viewing the rise and fall of the world as fleeting clouds, observing everything with a calm heart, and maintaining the state of mind.

The Zen of watching the mind
The Freedom of Mind contained a rich Zen intent. In essence, it was a state of mind that required people to examine their own hearts and reach a state of freedom. In the concept of Zen, observing the mind was a deep sense of self-awareness. This meant that people needed to pay attention to their inner thoughts at all times and not be disturbed by the noise, temptation, and troubles of the outside world. It was just like in the busy and chaotic life of the world, one could transcend the daily noise and complexity, not be bound by the pursuit of external material things such as fame and status, and treat everything in the world with a peaceful and quiet attitude. Freedom was a state of transcendence. When a person could observe the mind, they could let go of unnecessary obsessions and burdens in their hearts, such as no longer putting in too much effort for the so-called "success" and "face". No matter what kind of situation he was in, he could accept his strengths and weaknesses calmly, face himself with his true appearance, neither complain nor accumulate resentment, and keep his heart at peace. In the face of all kinds of situations in life, including subtle beauty or sudden tribulations, one could maintain calmness and composure, just like watching flowers bloom and fall. One could treat everything with a comfortable and free mind, thus achieving a true state of freedom.

A Zen sentence that empties my mind
I recommend " Cultivation to Buddha ", which is a fantasy oriental fantasy novel written by a lazy cat who secretly reads books. The main character was a monk who spoke of the philosophy of the true Buddha. He was not commercial but had a sense of compassion. Different from those vicious texts, the image of Buddhism here was positive. The protagonist looked like a saint, but she was not annoying. She sacrificed herself to save others in the mortal world. Although the plot might have dissuaded him, the middle character was a little broken, and the quality of the later chapters declined and even stopped updating, the writing style was good and the three views were correct. It was a rare Buddhist novel that was worth reading for those who had not been influenced by the prehistoric literature. 'The Great Zen Master' was not bad either. It was a fantasy oriental fantasy novel created by Little Buddha. The Zen Master Lu Zixin had been reborn in the golden age of martial arts and discovered that the Zen doctrine was the supreme doctrine of martial arts. He brought his disciples to educate the heavens, and with the company of beauties, he was very carefree. This book uses Buddhist divine powers to cultivate. The main character is not a monk. It has been updated steadily for nearly two months. You can keep it with ease. There was also " Practice When I Have Nothing To Do ", a novel about urban life written by a sad encounter. The protagonist had no intention of cultivating his Psyche Power. He lived in the mountains and rivers, and his writing style was indifferent. There were no conspiracies to fight monsters and level up. The protagonist traveled everywhere to cultivate. He was basically invincible and there were no villains. Although the later stages were not satisfactory, the writing style was plain and immature, and it might even be a scam, but it was easy and refreshing. It was not a harem, not a stallion, and the book was a famine. " Revival of Reiki: I Have the Proficiency System " was an urban supernatural novel, created by a perfect creature. Fang Han had traveled across the Earth Element Planet. Before the recuperation of spirit qi, the system had made him famous as an internet celebrity. He had a lot of challenges, and Espers and martial arts sages also appeared one after another. " Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returning from a Wolf " was a light novel written by Dragon Fruit Tycoon. After Lu Mingfei returned from the Wolf World, he entered Kassel Academy. His martial strength increased and he no longer felt sad about his first love. Although the battle scenes were awkward and the plot was flawed, the writing was not bad. The character design did not collapse and the dragon race's trap was filled. It was very suitable for readers who wanted to see Lu Mingfei's growth and Lu Hui's candies. "Let go and become a Buddha, draw your saber!" The novel is equally exciting.

State of mind determines state of mind
Mentality had a fundamental role in determining one's state of mind. A good attitude could give people the power to be positive, and this power was reflected in many positive effects. In terms of inner strength, a positive attitude could bring courage, confidence, and wisdom. These were the key elements that propelled a person to success. Just like how people with inner strength were more likely to remain firm in the face of challenges, to be brave in trying new things and to learn from them, losers often had empty hearts and lacked the source of strength brought by this positive attitude. From the perspective of cognition, mentality affected people's view of the world around them. Just like what was said in " Caigen Tan "," Happiness and bitterness are the same, confusion and enlightenment are not two hearts, but only in a moment of thought." Things are often the manifestation of people's hearts. When the mentality is good, difficulties and obstacles seem to be able to be overcome and become a stepping stone to success. When the mentality is negative, even if you are in a stable environment, you may feel full of crisis and waves. When faced with specific situations in life, the role of mentality was even more obvious. For example, Su Shi, when he was copying books in Hainan, he burned a pile of pine branches and his house was almost burned down, but he was optimistic that there was enough ash. He was driven out of the official residence and could only sleep in the woods, but he could also see the benefits of being demoted to Hainan. This optimistic attitude allowed him to take things lightly and not be trapped by his worries. On the contrary, a negative mentality would easily make people only see despair in the face of danger. In terms of interpersonal relationships and social cooperation, mentality also played an important role. A closed mind would make people refuse to accept new things and opinions from others, which was not conducive to personal growth and business development. An open, cooperative, and innovative mindset would allow people to constantly explore new knowledge and achieve self-improvement. Enterprise could also develop in the market competition through resource sharing and complementary advantages. From a health perspective, mental state also had a great impact on the body's condition. A positive and optimistic attitude could help stimulate the potential of the body, and in some cases, it might even have a positive effect on the treatment of physical diseases, while a negative attitude could lead to anxiety and other negative emotions, affecting health and living conditions. In short, it is very important to have a good attitude. We should actively cultivate positive attitudes such as optimism, open-mindedness, and self-acceptance to avoid the influence of negative attitudes. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Is the heart controlling the mind or the brain controlling the mind?
In the theory of Chinese medicine, the heart governs the mind. Chinese medicine emphasized that the human body was a whole body centered on the five internal organs, connecting the brain with the heart and kidney. The heart had the Heart of Flesh and Blood and the Heart of God. The Heart of Flesh and Blood drove the circulation of blood and nourished the entire body, including the brain. After the brain was nourished by the heart blood, it produced mental activities such as spirit and consciousness, and commanded the coordination of functional activities in all parts of the body. When the heart governs the mind, the person's spirit, consciousness, thinking, etc. are normal, and the movement of the tongue is also normal. If the heart qi is deficient, the heart blood is deficient, or the heart vessels are blocked, there may be pathological changes such as the heart blood being unable to nourish the mind, resulting in mental disorder such as mental trance and insomnia. At the same time, the theory of the heart controlling the mind had formed a systematic theory in the diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, from physiological to pathological, from diagnosis to treatment. It had been verified to be effective in medical practice for two thousand years. Western medicine believed that the brain was the host organ of the mind. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine were two different theoretical systems. There were differences in the way they understood and viewed problems. From a historical and cultural point of view, the heart controlling the mind was the mainstream view of Chinese medicine. In the Chinese medicine system, this was a well-established proposition.
