Your Fragments

The first review is here! Putting this in the blurb means I have chapters saved up! (I seriously can't believe it. I even got a penalty, and I'm locked out until 10/19. Let me just die :-D) Five updates, then two days off. (I'll write an extra chapter.) The anti-theft ratio is 30%, with a 24-hour delay. If the author thinks a warning is needed, the relevant information will be posted in the author's notes of the first chapter of each arc. Thank you to everyone who has read or bookmarked this story. It is thanks to all your love and support that it has the chance to go premium. 1. Saving the Fallen Dust: straightforward, detached immortal woman x humble, proud male courtesan As a male courtesan, Mu Xing was at his most battered and wretched when she appeared. He thought they had just crossed paths once, but then she said she had come for him. On auction night, she bought him and gave him a silver token reserved for her alone. He knew he shouldn't fall for her, but an inexplicable desire made him offer himself to her, and he even hoped she would keep him close. A rainy night, Spring Butterfly House, a ruined temple. Each tender moment made his feelings spiral out of control. But he never expected her to be an immortal who walked among mortals, much less that he was only a substitute. 2. Stopping My Master from Falling into Demonic Corruption: gentle, protective master x sensitive, insecure disciple The Heavenly Dao gave Yu Chen a chance to be reborn and save his master from demonic corruption. From then on, he lived only for his master. He thought his master was cold and heartless, but she personally taught him magic, cared about his feelings, prepared gifts, took him to see fireworks in the mortal world, and even gave up an arm for him. He realized he had fallen in love with the master who raised him. He thought he had kept his feelings well under control, but the poison of demonic desire tore open his ugly lust. He thought his master would despise him, but she not only accepted his feelings, she even ventured alone into the demon realm to save him. 3. Opening the Coffin: resilient, clear-eyed sacrifice x naive, kind-hearted executioner Meng Jilan, inexperienced in the ways of the world, went down into an underground palace to seek an immortal and met a strange, mysterious little thief. After the two inexplicably got into a fight, he learned she was the successor of his own ancestor's disciple. She tricked him into going to her hometown. In that strange village, he unexpectedly learned that she had survived from a hundred years ago, and that the village's massacre a century earlier had something to do with his ancestor. After returning home, he resolutely ran away on his wedding night to accompany her into his ancestor's underground palace. Then he entered his ancestor's memories, where he saw her and his ancestor, or rather, himself. 4. The Bride in the Sword: hollow, cruel sword spirit x hypocritical, scheming sword master She was sacrificed to become a sword spirit because of her exceptional sword bones. She chose Qu Huaili as her master and made him her home, but she never expected that he only seemed like a righteous gentleman and was actually a hypocrite. Whether she became a sword spirit or an evil spirit was all up to her. She grew twisted, frenzied, and mad. She wanted to drag Qu Huaili into demonic corruption with her and create a unique monster that belonged only to the two of them. He used a blood pact to control her, so she used deception, coercion, and control to destroy his Dao heart. But she never expected their powers to come from the same source. 5. The Twentieth Year After the Young Lady's Death: self-loathing, fragile city lord x loyal, devoted cultivation vessel In Shenduan City, one book had taken the whole city by storm. The first time Mu Zhou opened it, he was overwhelmed by its explicit scenes. Its author, Master Buyan, had an odd rule: books could only be bought with blood. So Mu Zhou gave up all his blood to meet Master Buyan, the faithless lover he had searched for twenty years. He had a pure-yang constitution, perfect for being a cultivation vessel. When he was accidentally drugged, his faithless lover had no choice but to help him counteract the drug. After several nights of passion, he declared himself his lover's cultivation vessel, and his lover had no choice but to accept his presence. Later, he lost all his cultivation and even his lifespan, becoming a frail mortal. At last, he got his wish and became a burden his faithless lover could never shake off. 6. A Page of Love: controlling, teasing, one-eyed client-side partner x repressed, broken-legged, mature company representative (modern setting) Jin Zhuqing was targeted by a honey trap. He fought to stay conscious but accidentally stumbled into a strange woman's room. She said nothing had happened between them, but her half-smiling eyes and the strange sensations in his body told him she was lying. When he returned to the company, the woman he suspected of sleeping with him turned out to be his business partner. She was mysterious and forceful, and he couldn't help being curious or drawing closer. In the end, she lured him into signing a lovers' agreement. A secret villa, secret ways of addressing each other. He was opened up, dissected, and controlled. With her, he had no agency. She kept taking him apart and putting him back together. He thought their relationship was just a game, but one rainy night she was late, and when she lost her composure yet tried to restrain herself, she told him she was worried about him. 7. The Blind Spirit Pet Raised by the Demon Clan: slow-witted, honest youngest witch x hollow-hearted, blind half-immortal Zong Buyou had a soul but no heart. His tribulation failed, leaving him blind, deaf, and half-paralyzed. Yet he was sent to assassinate a demon seed. He went, but she, who bore the demon seed, took him in as a pet. She gave him medicine, talked to him, placed his hand on her throat so he could feel her voice, and even learned a spell to send thoughts to him... He understood nothing, but he didn't leave. He waited for a chance to assassinate her, but when the opportunity finally came, she put the demon seed inside him instead. At a loss, he watched the demon seed feed on his power and keep growing inside him until it matured. He fled back to the immortal sect. When the time came to give birth, he had no power left and had no idea how to deliver the child, while the sect discussed what to do with him. Just when he was helpless, she found him. 8. Kill Yan Wuji: domineering, controlling, cold-faced assassin x sickly young master with a pathological dependence On a rainy night, Lu Wuyang's entire family was slaughtered. The only survivors were him and his bodyguard, Shiqi, who had fought to protect him. They were just an ordinary escort agency, but their killer was Yan Wuji, the legendary assassin who never missed. Too frail to take revenge himself, he could only rely on Shiqi, begging her not to abandon him. As they sought revenge, he kept seducing her, offering himself in exchange for her loyalty. Perhaps Shiqi was loyal. She never broke a promise she made to him. But there was one thing she didn't do: she didn't kill Yan Wuji. Instead, she imprisoned him in chains, leaving him neither alive nor dead. 9. Cat's Eye: precocious, thoughtful, heterochromatic girl x gentle, kind-hearted, low-energy married man (modern setting) Lin Xiaodie was considered ill-omened because she was born with two different-colored eyes. Worse, she could see predictions of other people's deaths. Eventually, left with no other option, she contacted her benefactor, Qin Yu. Qin Yu gave her a home and a warmth she had never known. She wanted to stay by his side, interfere with his death, and protect their home. But he was too naive, thinking an outsider joining them couldn't change their family. She wouldn't allow it. She would eliminate every possibility of their family being broken apart and nip in the bud any sign that he might belong to someone else... Later, one evening after work, she watched Qin Yu, dead drunk and unconscious, and a thought suddenly came to her: she wanted to possess him. 10. The Emperor Takes His Minister's Husband: tyrannical, self-centered emperor x proper, self-possessed scholar Five years after being driven out of the capital, the Eighth Prince led the Black Cavalry into the city on the night of a coup and seized the throne. Shen Yiheng knew she wanted revenge, and that he was on her list. Being threatened, ordered around, and humiliated were things he deserved to endure. But he couldn't accept being betrayed by his own wife, much less being taken by force without explanation. She imprisoned him at her side in the name of revenge. If he ran, he would be demoted. If he stayed, he would be no different from her male lover. Reader's Guide 1. All male leads are reincarnations; the female lead may be either the original or a reincarnation. 2.
