Phoenix Empress: Rise of the Fallen

In the mighty Longhua Empire, where power determines everything and the weak are trampled underfoot, fifteen-year-old Ling Qianxue lives as the last daughter of a once-glorious ducal house now fallen to ruin. For three hundred years, the Ling family has failed to produce a single cultivator. Mocked by rivals, extorted by thugs, and stripped of their dignity, they survive on memories of past glory and the stubborn pride that refuses to let them bow. But Qianxue harbors a secret that could change everything—a crimson jade pendant left by her mysterious mother, warm to the touch and pulsing with hidden power. When assassins strike on a moonless night, when her beloved aunt falls protecting her, when all seems lost... the pendant awakens. Fire erupts. Phoenix cries pierce the heavens. Nine Heavenly Tribulations descend. In one earth-shattering moment, Qianxue transforms from a powerless noble girl into the bearer of the legendary Phoenix Bloodline—a power thought extinct for a thousand years. But with great power comes terrible danger. The mysterious Phoenix Hunter Organization emerges from the shadows, determined to capture the last of the phoenix blood. Saved by the enigmatic Grandmaster Mo Qianji, Qianxue enters Tiandu Academy, the empire's most prestigious cultivation school. Here, she must navigate a world of ruthless competition, where strength rules supreme and the weak are devoured. Hidden enemies lurk in every corner, and the secret of her mother's identity holds the key to a conspiracy that spans centuries. With only her loyal childhood protector Xiao Hanye by her side—a boy with no cultivation talent but a will of iron—Qianxue must master her newfound powers while concealing her true strength. Every friend could be a spy. Every challenge could be a trap. Every moment brings her closer to the truth about why the Phoenix Clan vanished... and why she might be the last hope for their return. But in a world where revealing too much means death, and trusting the wrong person could doom everyone she loves, how can a fallen noble's daughter rise to reclaim her destiny? The phoenix must burn before it can soar. Her legend begins with a single spark.

Reincarnated as the Final Boss's Body Double

Welcome to a world of swords, sorcery, and supreme identity crises. Kaen Vale was nobody. A pub-crawling barfly with more bruises than brain cells, he spent his days chasing cheap ale and losing bets to retired mercenaries. Life wasn’t perfect, but at least it wasn’t magical—until one day he opened his eyes and found himself wearing the crown, the robes, and the terrifying reputation of the world’s most feared tyrant: Rael Ithos, the Archmage King. There’s just one tiny problem: Kaen can’t cast a single spell. Waking up in the middle of an assassination attempt, Kaen barely dodges death by playing the world’s most outrageous bluff. With a talking cloak (Mimic) whispering fashion advice and ancient secrets in his ear, a suspiciously loyal commander watching his every move, and a sword-swinging heroine hell-bent on fulfilling a prophecy that ends with his decapitation, Kaen has exactly zero room to breathe. Or fail. To survive, he must master the deadliest court in the realm, fake magical genius, unravel cosmic conspiracies, and maybe—just maybe—become a better ruler than the tyrant he replaced. But with every choice, every lie, and every flash of Rael’s haunting memories clawing at the back of his mind, Kaen is starting to wonder: Was Rael truly a villain? And if Kaen wears the mask long enough... will he still be Kaen underneath? --- Prepare for: Court politics served with sarcasm and sabotage. A talking cloak with sass, secrets, and style. Enemies who flirt with their blades (and sometimes their hearts). Explosions. So many magical explosions Kaen definitely did not cause (okay, maybe a few). This is a tale of mistaken identity, reluctant heroism, and the absurd joy of bluffing your way through an apocalypse. It’s the kind of story where the protagonist doesn’t get a cheat system, the villain’s plan actually makes sense, and nobody’s getting overpowered because they ate a fruit, read a scroll, or tripped on a dragon bone. Fans of political fantasy, magical mysteries, and snarky underdogs with zero qualifications—this story is for you. Kaen Vale didn’t sign up to rule the world... ...but if the crown fits, fake it till the throne stops spinning. --- Tags: Fantasy, Action, Reincarnation, Kingdom Building, Magic School (sort of), Enemies-to-Reluctant-Allies, Secret Identity, No-Magic Main Character, Cloak with More Personality Than the MC, Final Boss Energy --- Perfect for readers who love: Overlord meets The Emperor’s New Groove Schemes that backfire in glorious, hilarious ways Magical girl-level transformations, but for tyrants Prophecies that need therapy Found families, reluctant friendships, and morally confused mages --- A refreshing change of pace from the usual “I died and became a god in three chapters” template. If you’re tired of protagonists collecting harems faster than they level up, or villains that turn good because the main character smiled at them once—welcome. Updates twice weekly. Bring snacks, lower expectations, and enjoy the ride.

Crown Of Hearts

***Together, they were like fire and ice.*** Damon pursued, ready to conquer while Alexander ran, trying so hard to remain cold and guarded. Alexander had thought guarding the sick crown prince was something so easy until he found himself cruelly yet so innocently tempted. ***excerpt*** There was indeed nothing he could do when it came to this man. "You...you are shameless." Alexander managed to say something once he recovered from his momentarily shock. Damon smirked. "I know and I am unapologetic for being that way. Alexander, I am going to do whatever it takes to make you mine." Damon smiled painfully, his voice serious as his eyes burned into his. Alexander was lost for words. At least Damon was being brazenly honest about his intentions. Knowing that did not help to lessen his overwhelmed state at the bold declaration. Now, Alexander knew this man had his eyes set on him but what was he going to do about it. Run or give in to his desires. Desires his mind was still coming to terms with. Running was the safer option because uncertainty was not his greatest suite. But... this man had assured him that he had no problem chasing him. Alexander knew he was doomed...so sweetly doomed. ... Hey guys, I have decided to try writing something new, a genre I haven't tried before but one that I find interesting enough to explore. This book is a romance BL novel and if you are one that likes the genre or loves to try new things, please don't hesitate to try out my new book. Also, feel free to check out my other novel...
