Unraveling Fate

An Ze has been able to see spirits since childhood. For eighteen years, ghosts have tormented him, and after he started college, things only got worse. First, he was forced into a deadly rules-based horror game. Then he was swept up in one bizarre supernatural conspiracy after another. Fortunately, he met a girl as ethereal and otherworldly as an immortal. She said she could protect him from evil spirits from then on, if he agreed to become her disciple. An Ze refused because she was cold and indifferent, but she never gave up, time and again putting herself between him and danger. “An Ze, stay back.” “An Ze, get behind me.” “An Ze, don't be afraid. I'm fine.” She became the embodiment of a god in An Ze's heart, and the person he admired with all his heart. Until the day she summoned a sword of spiritual energy through tear-filled eyes and drove it through his body. Blood fell like drops of cinnabar. She said, “An Ze, it's all over. This is your fate.” As deputy sect leader of the Xiaoxuan Pavilion, Zhang Qujian bore great responsibility. She was tasked with resolving a crisis that threatened to bring everything crashing down. The sect leader ordered her to enter the mortal world and approach the one destined to be involved. She was to get to know him and earn his complete trust. She followed her master's instructions, earning his trust with her sincerity. His earnestness, in turn, melted her reserve, and her heart, once occupied by nothing but cultivation, made room for someone else. Until one day, the sect leader told her the truth about the one chosen by destiny. The heavenly divination revealed that he was the key to resolving the crisis, but also a sacrifice that had to be made. In the pouring rain, Zhang Qujian watched him from beneath the eaves. He smiled at her, pure and clear, as if he weren't standing in the rain but basking in the spring breeze. A mist clouded Zhang Qujian's vision, and she sighed. “Why did it have to be you?” P.S. This is not a tragic ending, so don't worry. Later on, there's a plotline where she transmigrates to a world ruled by women. A story set in the same world, coming soon: Stars in the Long Night Several mysterious cases have recently appeared in City A, and they all seem to point to the wildly popular top-tier star Ye Ting. Zhang Zhiyu, captain of the criminal investigation squad, is usually cool-headed, clever, and decisive when handling cases. But whenever one involves him, she keeps hitting dead ends. In everyone else's eyes, Ye Ting is handsome, decent, and pleasant, perfect in every way. To Zhang Zhiyu, it's all an elaborately woven disguise. She deliberately infiltrates his production crew, posing as a newcomer to find evidence. She treats him with hostility until one day she discovers that they once had feelings for the same person. Suddenly, he seems much more likable. Zhang Zhiyu: So he's a former romantic rival. With taste that good, maybe he really isn't a bad person. Ye Ting (smiling~) Zhang Zhiyu: Actually, a romantic rival could make a pretty good friend. We have something in common. Ye Ting (smiling~) Before long, paparazzi expose a romance between a male top-tier star and a rising actress. News of the star's relationship floods the internet, and no one pays attention to the unsolved cases piling up day after day. At the police station, Zhang Zhiyu meets her colleagues' curious, teasing looks. She simply slams the case files down and says sternly, “Let's get back to the meeting.” Her phone chimes. She glances down and sees the message: “Officer Zhang, are you still refusing to make our relationship official?” A female-led historical romance, coming soon: How Bright Is the Moon In his previous life, Lin Xianyue was the son of the Minister of War. Because the Lin family backed the wrong side, they were implicated, their property confiscated, and they were exiled. Later, he encountered bandits and died far from home. This time, reborn, he swears to seize his chance to change his fate. He knows the future empress, Li Yujiao, will rule the realm. He must choose the right side, attach himself to her early, become her adviser, and protect himself and his family. Lin Xianyue doesn't know much about Li Yujiao. As far as he can remember, he spoke to her only once, by chance, when they were children. He only knows that she was born frail but possessed extraordinary talent. She seemed cool and detached, yet was decisive and ruthless. He has no idea what she likes. Swallowing his pride, Lin Xianyue enters the palace and tries every possible way to curry favor with her. Li Yujiao remains cool toward him, seemingly unmoved, but she never sends him away. Before long, rumors spread through the palace: Lin Xianyue, son of the Minister of War, has become the princess's male favorite. Li Yujiao ascends the throne and takes the realm into her hands, but there is still one person in her heart she cannot forget. She will always remember how, as a child, she despaired over her heart condition, and he told her, “With your talents, one day you'll be able to do anything you set your mind to.” That encouragement was what helped her take each step toward the present, until she accomplished the most difficult thing in the world. But where is he now, the boy from back then? One day, Li Yujiao visits the imperial temple to offer incense. Before the statue, she silently prays, “If fate allows, may I meet him again.” Theme: An untainted soul is the rarest treasure.
