Burning the City with Bones

Van Codo

75K0

The day the ink falls, both technology and rationality fail. Humanity's last weapons are stories and rituals. Peking Opera martial arts student Chen Xingnian is struggling in the apocalypse, burdened with the guilt of killing his mentor. He found that his name was written into a strange "forbidden list" - every time he used the opera power, his name became fainter and his memory became fragmented. The ultimate goal of the list is to turn him into an eternal actor in the "VIP seat" of the gray world. This is a bet between man and God. The bet is not on winning or losing, but on whether "imperfections" are worthy of being remembered. Inheritance, betrayal, forgetfulness, rebirth - "The Burning City" is about: When the world asks you to make a perfect curtain call, do you have the courage to sing a single note?

After the Divorce, I Became My Ex-husband's Immediate Boss

Van Codo

Do you think you abandoned me? No, you just gave me back to myself. Three years ago, Wen Ruotang gave up the glory of Wall Street for love, married Fu Chengyuan, and became a good wife and mother for three years. What I got in exchange was a divorce agreement and the sentence "You are not worthy of me." On the day she left home, she only took an old USB flash drive with her. Three days later, Fu Chengyuan met the new executive director at the board meeting-- His ex-wife, Wen Ruotang. He personally stopped his project, exposed his true identity as "Bai Yueguang" in public, and gradually took over the Hengyuan Group. He thought she would cry, make a fuss, and beg him to look back. But she just looked at him condescendingly: "Mr. Fu, this is work." Until he knelt in front of her and said "I was wrong". She smiled: "Fu Chengyuan, I don't accept your confession." This is not a story about forgiveness. This is the story of a woman finding herself back.
