Lunar Legacy

Celvian was born into House Solmar of the Sun Clan, destined for divine glory. Instead, the Moon Goddess marked him - a blessing that became a curse in a world where her power is considered worthless. Stripped of everything he once was, Cel must survive in a world threatened by rift-creatures, where only Chosen Ones blessed by Gods stand between humanity and extinction. The Moon Goddess chose him for reasons beyond understanding. Whether that choice will forge him into a savior or twist him into something far more dangerous depends on how much of himself he is willing to give up.

Reborn as The Sect Leader's Husband

Lin Xiaoyu died smashed on a Shanghai street, phone still in hand. He wakes up in the body of a minor cultivation world side character, the sect leader's husband, three months married, and roughly one insult away from being discarded to save face. The problem: nobody actually likes this marriage. Not the sect elders, who think their leader married beneath his cultivation. Not the leader's insufferable "senior brother" and one-true-love-that-never-was, who's very publicly still around. And especially not the original Lin Xiaoyu, who apparently spent three months crying in the west courtyard instead of doing anything useful. New Xiaoyu has zero interest in crying. He has modern day pettiness, a business degree, and absolutely nothing to lose. If the sect wants a trophy husband, they're getting one who slaps faces, flips tables, and much to everyone's alarm, including his own, slowly make the terrifying, emotionally constipated Sect Leader Jiang Heng fall in love with the husband he married for political convenience.

The Ending Reader

People say every person dies twice. The first time when their heart stops. The second time when they are forgotten. Vael learned that earlier than most. In the rain-soaked megacity of Nexarum, he lives with a curse that allows him to hear the final words people will ever speak. Most are meaningless. Some are horrifying. But one night, inside a Dead Scene where reality twists into nightmare, he hears a silver-haired girl whisper: “Thank you for finding me again.” The problem is she says it like they have already loved each other across countless ruined worlds. As the city collapses beneath endless rain, fractured timelines, and horrors born from abandoned stories, Vael is dragged into a war against the inevitable end of humanity itself. And at the center of it all stands a girl trying desperately not to fall in love with the boy destined to erase himself for her sake. Because in every timeline, the world ends. And in every ending... Vael dies for her.

I Can Extract the Plot ( As a Trash Side-Character)

Caelen Vance was supposed to die in Chapter One. Not metaphorically. Not “almost died but awakened hidden powers” died. Actually executed. Publicly. By axe. Unfortunately for the plot, Caelen remembers the game he reincarnated into. And unfortunately for the world, he just unlocked the single most broken ability imaginable: Endless Concept Extraction Touch anything. Steal one of its concepts. Permanently. Sharpness from swords. Durability from shields. Intent to Kill from monsters. Later? Luck. Identity. Memories. Even Divine Authority itself. There’s only one catch: He can only extract once every 24 hours. Now trapped inside the brutal dark-fantasy RPG Apocalypse: Reforged as a talentless noble bastard with a dead mana core and a 30-day countdown to execution, Caelen has exactly one goal: Survive quietly. Get rich illegally. Avoid every main character. Retire before the apocalypse. Naturally, everything goes horribly wrong. The future Ice Tyrant overseeing his execution becomes suspicious of him. The regressed heroine meant to save the world thinks he’s a timeline-breaking demon. A terrifying demon assassin starts living inside his shadow after he accidentally frees her from slavery. And a merchant genius keeps trying to convert emotional intimacy into legally binding business contracts. Now Caelen must survive political conspiracies, eldritch horrors, noble assassins, and the increasingly violent cold war between four dangerously competent women all while pretending he is absolutely, definitely, completely normal. Which becomes difficult after he accidentally removes a monster’s “Intent to Kill” and gives it an existential crisis. After all… It’s hard to stay a background character when you’re secretly stealing the concepts holding the world together.
