In the end you've fallen to a status far lower than any beast! In response, Xia Wanyuan promises that a day would come when they will sincerely call her Princess. Everyone laughs at her, waiting to see the day when she'll be abandoned by the wealthy and affluent.

The darling of the fashion world, she has become a style icon who is also proficient in the four classical arts. As an all-knowing professor in both literature and poetry, she is also a professor in two departments at the most renowned institute of higher learning. The Olympics?

Tangling with the Western Commander

This is a story of a captain of a secluded place and a gorgeous female celebrity—both who would hardly cross paths but a collision in Tibet sets an opening to their encounter. Upon their first encounter, Wenxian already has her eyes set on Captain Lu—her mouth drooling with desire. Wenxian, “Hmm? How can I win over your heart? In a plain sack or using sweet talk?” With a cigarette in his mouth, Lu Xiao scoffs. “You are an impressive and popular celebrity, I am only a captain at this secluded place. I am very poor, what is it in me that you like about?” Wenxian, “I like how you always snub back at me.” Lu Xiao choked and walked away heartlessly. “You are shameless, don’t even dream about it!” The next day, he said, “It's all because you were carried away by a whim?” Wenxian, “No, hatching a scheme.”

Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life

Lin Wanwan slips a jade bracelet onto her wrist—and steps between two worlds. Side A: neon lights, 5G, instant ramen, MRI machines—an age of abundance where food is fast and friendships sometimes slow. Side B: Tang-dynasty sunshine, cracked earth, locust clouds, emperors who ask villagers to skip meals so soldiers can march. A “golden age” that growls with hunger. Lin has no grand plan—only a wish: let the little bean who waits for her at the gate eat his fill, let the gray-haired elders who calls her “treasure” sleep without fear of famine. Lin Wanwan wants to bring small changes to the world she loves, so the family she cherishes can live a little better, then a little better still—because "I has finally found the place that calls my home."

Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

The best novel under kingdom and system genre. Set in the modern world without cliffhangers and harem approach. If you are reading my review and love harems, this novel is not for you. The lead character is a western figure but enjoyed reading asian novels. The author is an otaku of isekai novels and also an avid fan of truck-kun hahaha well this novel is not an isekai transfered to another world and truck-kun, bus-kun and plane-san are busy so don't expect them here😂

I’ve read numerous western/eastern fantasy novels as fastasy has always been one of my favorite genre’s to read, but Coiling Dragon is by far one of the very best fantasy novels I have ever read. It was able to cleverly combine some of the best aspects of both western and eastern fantasy into one epic story. A story that is in my opinion a must read for any novel enthusiasts.

Wow! It's a pretty good novel. One of the best novel I've ever read, I must say. The characters development, story line, world visualization, modern architecture in western type witch-era. It's all arranged greatly.

Possibly the best novel on the site. Better than even most Western fantasy novels - especially in world building. This novel should be published in the West officially.

Another disappointment. This novel suffers from the usual problems western cultivation type novels go through.Main issue being the behaviour and attitudes of the characters from the isekai world. They seem fake, out of place. Tribesmen behave differently from modern city men. Farmers and homesteaders back in the 1900s are different from medieval folks. This novel has semi modern behaving characters living in a medieval fantasy world. The disconnect is bad
