The Legend of Nezha: A Mythology Retelling

The Legend of Nezha begins here — a tale reborn from ancient myth and reshaped through new eyes, where old legends find new breath beneath modern skies. A child born from thunder. A destiny forged in fire. A choice that will shatter Heaven itself. This is not the story you remember — but the one that was forgotten, waiting to be retold. This is an original retelling inspired by the classical Chinese myth of Nezha, first recorded in ancient texts such as Fengshen Yanyi. It draws solely from mythological roots — not from any existing films, series, or adaptations — blending traditional folklore with modern, character-driven storytelling. The story is free to read. Full lore notes and cultural context are available for all readers. Updated every 3 days. — Lumina Whispers

The Honest Queen (A Fairytale Retelling)

Drizella Tremaine was never the ugly stepsister she seemed to be—sharp, clever, and fiercely honest, she has long been overshadowed by her stepsister, Cinderella. When a chance encounter in a forgotten library brings her face-to-face with Prince Henry, a friendship sparked by insults and laughter slowly grows into a love that neither expected. But love is not enough to shield them from ambition and deceit. In a tale of letters and lies, fire and ashes, The Honest Queen is a sweeping retelling of Cinderella—where the stepsister becomes the queen, the prince learns to see beyond appearances, and happily ever after is earned through truth, courage, and love.

Pokemon Red: The Retelling

This is the story of Pokemon Red(the game), with a different perspective. This is just experimental and since its my first time writing, expect lots of grammatical mistakes, weird pacing and incoherent vocabulary, but you're more than welcome to check it out. Also, cover not mine, so if you're the owner/artist of the image, mail me and I'll take it down.

" Border Town " was an ancient Chinese literature story about the history and culture of a small border town, as well as the lives and love stories of the residents in the town. The story began at the end of the Qing Dynasty. A young woman named Cuicui was born in a small town. Her father was an old gentleman and the only doctor in the town. Cecelia was very smart and beautiful, and was loved by the residents of the town. In an accident, Cecelia discovered that she was saved by a fox. This fox was Cecelia's cousin. Cousin and Cecelia developed feelings for each other, but their identities and social status prevented them from being together. In the town, there was a gentleman called the mayor. He had wealth and power, but he had an extremely complicated heart. He loved Cecelia deeply but was afraid that Cecelia would fall in love with his cousin. The City Lord tried to make Cecelia stay by his side forever through a series of means, but Cecelia was disgusted by the City Lord's hypocrisy and cruelty. In the later part of the story, Cecelia's cousin also came to the border town, and the relationship between him and Cecelia became more complicated and firm. In the end, Cecelia and her cousin decided to elope and leave the town to start their own lives. The mayor was disappointed and sad, but he also understood that Cecelia's happiness was the most important. All the residents in the town also wished Cecelia and her cousin well. The story used Cecelia and the city lord as the main storyline, interweaving the various life and emotional experiences of the residents of the town, showing the history and culture of the border town, as well as the complexity and beauty of human nature.

I, the model of the righteous path, how can I become a demon!

Shang You stood on the mountain peak and looked at the broken sky above his head as he chanted softly. Above the green sky, immortals appear, and divine light gathers in the divination of heaven. The ancient ruins of the Nine Realms were explored, and the treasures of Kunlun were locked in secret boxes. The Eight Desolates Sects started to fight, and the four sects 'prodigies danced in the sky. Now that the immortal destiny had descended upon the Nine States, who in the world could ascend? His gaze was far-reaching, and his pupils constantly reflected images of his past. After Shang You transmigrated to this world, he worked hard to cultivate and successfully entered the Green Firmament Grotto-heaven with the help of his system that could help others realize their hopes and become stronger. In the sect, his fellow disciples admired him very much and called him a genius who was willing to help others and an honest scum. Outside the sect, the disciples of Tian Ji Sect said that he was a genius who was entangled with the sect master. The disciples of Nine Realms Sky Pavilion said that he was a kind person who was entangled with the saintess. The disciples of Karakorum Immortal Mansion said that he was entangled with the sect and that he was a bastard that only appeared once in ten thousand years. Being loved by Karakorum Immortal Mansion, Shang You had always felt a great pressure. Later on, Shang You felt even more pressure. Because he was showing signs of becoming a demon. The conversation between him and the demonic witch was still vivid in his mind. "Shang You, you're destined to come to my side." "Bullshit!" Sigh, I was really young and frivolous at that time. It would have been better if I had agreed. Forget it, he didn't want to think about it anymore. It was time to risk his life. Shang You protected the lights below him and looked at the terrifying figures in the crack in the sky. He raised his sword and said angrily,"Damn it, where are the Ascendant cultivators?" Come and save me! He shouldn't have believed the words of those scammers from the Archaic Mysteries Sect! When I get back, I will beat up the people of Karakorum Immortal Mansion to vent my anger!"
