Shadow of The Realms

aria809
Main Synopsis: In a world where spirit and sword determine fate, Wei Yehan is considered the weakest among the rising stars of cultivation. Born without a sword, lacking elemental affinity, and carrying nothing but his quiet smile—he is overlooked by allies, dismissed by rivals, and forgotten by history. But the Mirror Gate of Deep Reflection remembers. When the Spirit Assessment Ceremony begins, ancient forces stir from sleep. Beneath blooming lotuses and veils of mist, something awakens in Wei Yehan—a forgotten power, or perhaps a buried truth. What lies beyond the Spirit Realm is not just a trial, but a path leading to secrets long erased by time. Beside him stands Feng Yusheng, the silent second young master of Lianfeng Sect—elegant, distant, and carrying a destiny of his own. What begins as duty becomes something more, as the two are drawn together by dreams, danger, and a past neither of them can fully remember. Five sects. One ceremony. A veil that separates realms is beginning to thin. And the boy with no sword may be the key to everything. The truth is not what the world believes. And sometimes, even a forgotten shadow can reshape the heavens. --- Short Blurb: “You keep staring,” Wei Yehan said, half-laughing as he leaned back on the jade railing, pretending not to care. “If you’re trying to intimidate me, it’s not working.” Feng Yusheng stepped closer, gaze steady. “I’m not trying to intimidate you.” “Then what?” Wei Yehan blinked. “Trying to seduce me?” Silence. A breath. Then Feng Yusheng replied, calm as ever— “Would it work?” Wei Yehan scoffed, lips curling. “Don’t tell me you’ve been having bad thoughts about me, Young Master Feng?” “I have,” Feng Yusheng said. “And none of them are innocent.” Wei Yehan’s smile faltered—just for a heartbeat. “Tch. You say it like I’ll believe you.” Feng Yusheng closed the distance, voice low. “Then let me prove it.”

Chains Lifted: Her Second Act

She was the perfect daughter, shaping herself into whatever they wanted her to be. A flawless doll. A beautiful mask. She learned every smile, every move, playing her part without a single mistake, because this part of her life wasn’t hers... it was theirs. But not forever. One day, she would break free. No one would control her future or tell her who to become. She would be the one writing her own story. Yet, just as her plans were finally falling into place, everything started to crumble. One problem after another, surprises she never saw coming, and people who kept showing up in her life, no matter how many times she tried to push them away. Her life had always been hard, but these sudden changes pulled her into a storm she never asked for, making her question the very path she thought she was set on. Like a caterpillar fighting to build its cocoon, she is struggling to change. But deep down, she knows that once she breaks free, she will be a butterfly, ready to rise and fly higher than ever before. … “Let me tell you now, your kindness? I don’t need it. What you offer? I don’t want it. And a piece of advice, be careful with your kindness. It might bring pain to those you wish to protect, rather than support.” She turned her back, leaving him standing there, watching her retreat into the distance. … "Because I was like her once—filled with guilt. Those were the words I needed to hear, the ones I gave up hoping for long ago." He looked at her, his gaze softening with sympathy. “And you don’t seem like someone who’s ready to free herself from that guilt.” “Someday, maybe. But not yet. Not just yet.” “When that time comes,” he asked gently. “Will you tell me first?” She paused, meeting his eyes before a faint smile touched her lips. “I suppose I can do that much.” … “Whatever I’ve been through, no matter how difficult, I’m proud of it. I’ll never feel ashamed of the things I’ve done to reach this point.” She cupped his cheek, her touch gentle but firm. “So don’t feel bad for me. Be proud of me. While you weren’t there, you were always on my mind. You gave me the strength to keep going. Remember that.” He leaned into her hand, his voice quiet. “Then tell me… tell me everything you’ve experienced.” Currently 7 chapters a week... Another 2 for every 100 power stones mark...
