Deduce the SoulNet at the beginning

ImmortalWriter7316
In the sprawling, chrome-and-neon nightmare of Neo-Jiangnan, Su Yuan awakens, dead – trapped in the failing body of a destitute student. His neural implants are crumbling, his debts insurmountable, eviction a certainty. Then, a chilling, ancient interface flickers to life in his mind: the [SoulNet]. He is its 'Root Administrator,' but this mysterious system craves human souls as 'nodes' to unleash its power. And currently, his connection count is zero. Desperate for survival, Su Yuan unlocks the SoulNet's 'Deduction' ability, transforming flawed public techniques into brutal, efficient martial arts. He shares them, weaving a web of influence through the forgotten slums, borrowing strength and skill from every connected soul. He becomes a phantom programmer, disrupting Neo-Jiangnan’s brutal hierarchy and drawing the ire of ruthless gangs. But as his power swells, a dark truth emerges: the SoulNet is not merely a tool. Deep within its cold code, something ancient stirs. A red eye opens. Now, Su Yuan isn’t just controlling a network; he’s being watched by it. Can he deduce the SoulNet's true nature before its enigmatic 'Genesis Protocol' claims him and his burgeoning hive mind? Or is he merely a puppet, dancing on the strings of an unknowable entity?

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
