A Love Written In The Stars / 堕落之星的誓言 [Oath of the Fallen Star]

A warrior seeking vengeance. A prince cursed by a demon. An empire on the brink of chaos. Meiying has spent years training in secret, preparing to return home; but when she does, she finds her family murdered and her home reduced to ashes. Her only path forward is revenge. Yet fate takes an unexpected turn when she saves Prince Cheng from an ambush, unknowingly binding herself to his cursed destiny. Marked by the emperor’s desperate deal with dark forces, Cheng carries a burden that threatens not only his life but the empire itself. Mei unlocks a rare and ancient ability—the power to manipulate life force, once wielded by the empire’s protectors. As dark forces rise and political conspiracies unfold, Meiying is drawn into a battle far greater than her own revenge. With the empire on the brink of collapse, she must master her newfound power and choose where her loyalty lies. Can she break the curse and help save a doomed empire, or will her thirst for vengeance lead to destruction? ——— Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. My body stiffened as a palace guard called for me from the other side, but I ignored it. Mei, on the other hand, began pushing me away in a panic. "Cheng, let go," she said, struggling in my arms. "Can't you hear him? What if he comes in and sees us like this?" "I don't care," I replied, my lips brushing her ear. "Tell me you forgive me, that's all I need. I won't let go until you do." I knew I was taking a risk, a huge one, if we were seen like this, there would be consequences. But losing Mei would be the bigger risk, the one I couldn't take. I couldn't let her slip away. "I just need to hear you forgive me, mei. That's all I need right now." The guard knocked again, calling my name, and Mei struggled harder. "Cheng, please," she said, her voice cracking under the strain. But I didn't budge. Finally she muttered, "Fine. I forgive you." "I forgive you, you crazy jerk." "You really mean that?" I asked, my voice barely audible. She nodded, exasperated, and only then did I release her. Just as I did, the door swung open, and I barely had time to step back before the palace guard entered, the guard rushed in, his face pale with worry. It was a close call. too close, but I didn't care. Mei flinched at the intrusion, but quickly composed herself, stepping away from me to a more respectable distance. The guard, wide-eyed and clearly flustered, fell to his knees in a bow. "My deepest apologies, Your Highness. I called for you several times but received no reply. I entered out of concern, fearing the worst." I glanced at Mei, but she wouldn't meet my eyes. She simply gave the guard one last look and walked out, leaving the room without a word. I let out a long, exhausted sigh, running a hand through my hair, still reeling from everything that had just happened. Turning back to the guard, I motioned for him to stand. "Get up" "And next time, don't enter my room without permission." ———— Author’s Note (Rong King) This story is a work of fiction, entirely created from my imagination.

I am Reincarnated to Rule the World

Given a choice, would you choose a strong yet dull opponent or a weak but clever one? Maybe some of you would choose the weakest one. But if given the choice, I would choose the strongest adversary rather than one with the cunning of a fox. why ? It's easier to face stronger opponents than to contend with those whose moves are unpredictable. ........................................ In the heavens, there exists a name that cannot be spoken casually. It is believed to be ominous. People often refer to this figure as the Devil King. He is one of the most ruthless and cruelest Demonic cultivator in the heavens, yet he is also one of the strongest cultivator in heaven. No one dares to confront him. One day, however, when all his enemies unite in an attempt to attack him, they fail to kill him. Ultimately, it is his own daughter-like disciple who betrays him and strikes from behind. Born in another world with ambitions and hated, he is destined to achieve great things. His ambitions include conquering kingdoms, turning others into his loyal subjects, and becoming the strongest being in the universe. He will eliminate anyone who dares to come into his way. But can he truly achieve his goals while harboring feelings and the presence of womens in his heart? Feelings are more like poison to demonic cultivators. What They walk is the path of ruthlessness. The path that leads to endless pursuit of power and The hunger of power. For demonic cultivators, feelings are often seen as poison, a path laden with burdens that inhibit their ruthless pursuit of power. Yet, the question remains: Can one truly eliminate all emotions from the heart? Is it really that simple? Becoming emotion less ? What will he do? Will he submit to these emotions and walk step by step with his loved ones, or will he eliminate all variables that might burden him in the future? In this internal struggle, the battle is not just against external foes, but also within himself. Choices pit strength against intellect, and emotions against ambitions. What path will he choose? The answer may reshape his very destiny. Ultimately, it may be our connections that shape our destinies, even as we strive for greatness. .................................................................. Note : He is only ruthless towards his enemies. He is not completely virtueless and knows how to repay favours but as how he pays them and to what extent its on him. There are no eternal allies. People come together because of common interest and after that particular interest is over they will part their ways. This is not a story of a naive protagonist; rather, he is a master schemer who ensures everything unfolds according to his plans. English is not my native language but I have tried my level best to avoid mistakes,so I appreciate your understanding of any mistakes. I hope you enjoy reading. The first few chapters may seem boring as they contain essential information, but trust me, the later chapters will become increasingly captivating, and you will surely find enjoyment in them.

(BL)Alpha Made

The world is diverse and flourishing. Humanity has changed, and with it, brought in a new era of prosperity. Males and females still exist, but the spectrum from which humanity is cast has broadened. With the introduction of alpha, omega, and beta, humanity has evolved even further. In such a word, Dr. Andrew Knox, known environmental researcher, is happy being a beta male. It has made his life easier by being middle ground, and as much as some wish he was one way or the other, he’s happy being who he is. Thriving even. He works in a world renowned research facility. He makes friends easily, and his projects are always funded. He even found someone who he thinks he could end up marrying if things continue in the right direction. That, and the vacant house next to his apartment building gets bought by a new neighbour. A cute, but cautious omega who relies on Andrew as a beta for help. Andrew couldn’t be happier. He loves being a helper, and loves when people rely on him. All in all, Andrew really thinks he has everything made. That is, until a research project with shoddy data is thrown back into his face that he has no recollection of working on, and all of his reputation disintegrates in between one heartbeat and the next. Heartbroken, it isn’t until Andrew wakes up, chained to a wall that everything becomes clear. He becomes a test subject to one of the scientists that he trusted. That he expected would never harm him. The life he had known, where he was a respected researcher was ripped out from underneath him. His identity and everything he’s ever known is stolen from him from a crazed researcher who he had trusted, maybe even loved. He has to relearn who he is, what he is, from scratch. Thankfully, he has one person in his corner. He just never expected to have to rely on someone whose shoulders were so small. This is an a/b/o story, and will have those tropes associated with it. I hope you enjoy :)
