Synopsis

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!

Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

I recommend Red Chamber's Fuyao Rivers and Mountains, by Unsmiling Ocean. The male protagonist, Jia Cong, was a concubine of Chengrong Country. His status was low, but he made a fortune by selling words. The logic of the novel was smooth. Although it was a doujinshi, it had a unique plot, such as the protagonist developing firearms. However, the author's bad attitude towards readers 'comments was a minus. " Uchiha's Own View " was not bad either. The author was Mountain Ape Valley Bird. The male protagonist, Uchiha Tokuhiro, was reborn and took the political route to establish the Tokuhiro shogunate to unify the Shinobu. His imagination was novel. Although the writing style was not good and there were still some flaws, it was very enjoyable to read the contradiction between Uchiha and Naruto. Wealth Begins in 96, an urban novel written by Xiaoyu Shan. Going back to 1996, seizing the limelight, easily earning money, picking up girls, and becoming the richest man in the world. It was a simple and relaxing urban novel. The cool night breeze blew again as he composed " A Time Travel with Enough Li Pu, Starting from the Three Kingdoms ". The main character, Li Pu, traveled through various worlds and imitated heroes to gain strength. The background of the Three Kingdoms was unparalleled. It was similar to League of Legends doujinshi. It was quite enjoyable to read. Plum City, the work of Master Mei. Fang Yan went to Mei City to look for her biological parents. The plot was unexpected, and the short story was very heady. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
