Synopsis

Three Souls lay in one body, One soul belonging to a man who had reached the peak, the strongest there ever was, the one who had the talent to do so. Yet he suffered because of his talent. His soul shone as bright as a galaxy once, but now is but a sun. His talents made him the envy of all. And He lost it all, tricked and manipulated from the time he was a child. The Second soul belonged to a man soon to be the richest in the world in his own universe. A man who had his face charred, a man who seemingly had every odd placed against him from the very beginning. He went against the family that abused him and triumphed over them. Yet he was left broken inside, He craved a release, and the first soul brought him that release. And he became a psychopath that scared the manifestation of evil itself. And the Third? The child born from their souls was anything but ordinary. Cursed with a fate no one wanted. Cursed with the fact that the Universe wanted him dead. He was born from Chaos And Ice and a fraction of light, yet he manipulated space. His abilities were so powerful they were harmful to his body. His talent is as infinite as the boundless cosmos. His enemies were greater than one could count. His luck is worse than shit. And yet, he continued to fight. Despite whatever was thrown at him, he would brute force through it or outsmart it, befitting the other two above. He continued to fight, not believing in the bullshit that was destiny. ---------------------------------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/Sgxw6QEsgE

Loved By An Older Man

The betrothal gift is two million bucks, not a single cent less. Jiang Yu is already eighteen years old and can get married now. Send the money to my card, and this matter is settled!" Jiang Yu looked at her mother, who was talking non-stop on the negotiation table. She watched as her mother named her price as she sold Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu could not believe it. Eighteen years ago, they brought the wrong baby home from the hospital, and Jiang Yu, the real daughter of a wealthy family, ended up in an orphanage until a year ago. Jiang Ran, the fake daughter of the Jiang family, grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth. With superior resources since she was young, she was more outstanding than Jiang Yu in every aspect and became the pride of the Jiang family. Jiang Yu, who wandered most of her time in the outside world, was nothing but a country bumpkin who made her mother a laughing stock in the socialite circle. However, Jiang Yu had no idea how great her mother's hatred for her was. On the day she turned eighteen, her mother 'sold' her with a named price. Jiang Yu said, "If you want to marry your daughter to someone else, it should be Jiang Ran. I'm your real daughter. You're the one who mistakenly brought Jiang Ran home!" Her mother replied, "Shut up. I wish I hadn't given birth to you. You've brought nothing but shame to me!" Jiang Ran said, "Big Sis, everything Mom does is for your own good. Don't blame Mom." Her mother said, "I'm convinced she's nothing but a debt collector who's come to me to collect her debts! Either you give me two million bucks, or you get married obediently!" Jiang Yu left home in despair. By a freak combination of factors, she found herself accidentally marrying a Mr. CEO. From then on, the thirty-year-old man pampered his eighteen-year-old wife to the heavens. The little girl said, "Mister, someone bullied your wife!" The man, "Which incompetent fool is so blind that he dares to bully you?"

The crown princess wants to descend to the mortal world every day

[1v1 Shuang Jie] The little phoenix of the immortal realm had descended! All the immortals came to investigate. "I heard that Your Highness is going to descend to the mortal world to experience the tribulations, so Your Highness wants to go to the mortal world to play for a while," said the little princess's personal fairy with a smile. The immortals were shocked. What if they hurt the little prince in the mortal world? However, he had already left. They could only pray for his safe return, completely ignoring the Crown Prince who had descended to the mortal world to experience the tribulation. Several years later. I heard that the Little Royal Highness Feng has descended to the mortal world to undergo his tribulation? The immortals gathered again. The little handmaiden was still smiling." Everyone, there's no need to be anxious. The Crown Prince is worried that the little prince will go alone. He has already gone with him." Only then did everyone leave with a peace of mind… [Serious Version] In her first life, he was a little emperor who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger, and she was a black-bellied and cunning prime minister. " Your Majesty," she said openly in the court," there's something I don't understand. May I ask…when will Your Majesty come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage?" She cleared the Qing Dynasty for him, eliminating treacherous officials and killing them decisively; He dismissed the harem for her, and if she drank three thousand, she would only take a ladle. In her second life, he was the domineering and cold Great General of the State of Wei, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world. It was rumored that he was extremely handsome and did not get close to women, but he took off all his armor in front of her. It was rumored that she was cold and indifferent, peerless and beautiful, but she put on that beautiful red dress for him to marry. The two lifetimes were intertwined, going around in circles, just because of her words,"I…am happy with you." [Handsome and arrogant scheming prince x peerlessly beautiful and ignorant phoenix girl] [Ah Qing, there is a saying in the mortal world: " A day of husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness." We have been husband and wife for two lifetimes. How should we count it?]
