Synopsis {Excerpt} “My negligence?” He was impressed by her boldness. She dared accuse him while at his mercy? “Yes,” she nodded. “But it’s fine. Here’s what will happen: I will leave your carriage at once, and we will forget this incident entirely. We will bury all grudges and move on. What do you say?” Her smile was bright. Tianlei stared, stunned. He sought a reply but her smile rendered him speechless. Her golden-brown eyes glowed warmly beneath the carriage’s dim lantern light. Her lips curved softly; he imagined how her full face would look unmasked, but could not paint the perfect picture. This was the first time he had been so close to a woman, studying her features so intently. “I want to take you home”… ________________________________________ In the vast Great Qan Kingdom, the imperial Murong Dynasty rules with unchallenged authority, their power sustained through sacred spiritual channels passed down through generations. For centuries, they remained invincible, their dominion uncontested. Yet, twenty years ago, Prince Murong Tianlei—the eldest son of the reigning emperor—was born without the divine gift that legitimized Murong rule. Cast aside and denied his birthright, Tianlei was overshadowed by his younger brother’s claim to the throne. Determined to earn respect, he carved a path through military prowess, inspiring fear rather than favor. Meanwhile, Ming Xuanling, the defiant fourth daughter of Chancellor Ming, faces a grim fate: an arranged marriage to Crown Prince Jing, a union decreed by the court to solidify her family’s influence. Yearning instead for freedom and the art of dance, she rebels against her predestined future. Fate, however, weaves their destinies together, binding Xuanling and the forsaken Prince Tianlei in unexpected ways. As palace intrigues deepen and ancient mysteries awaken, can they navigate the treacherous tides of power, ignite a forbidden love, and claim their rightful place within the Great Qan dynasty? In a world rife with political scheming, passionate romance, and supernatural forces, will Xuanling and Tianlei survive the deadly games of the Great Qan Kingdom—or be consumed by them? I humbly present my latest work: Embers of Moonlight. Totally fictional and any resemblance to real persons or incidents is entirely coincidental. Cover is mine, do not use. Happy reading!

I Became Final Boss

Fifteen years ago, John transmigrated to Blue Star—a world identical to Earth in every way, except for its name. To everyone else, John was just an average man living a quiet life. But every time John slept, he entered a game world known as the Dao World that felt more real than reality itself. The dream world was a vast cultivation landscape governed by ancient Taoist laws, and John wasn't anybody; he has ability of infinite resurrection in dream, whenever he died, he would wake up in the real world, and when he slept next time, he would start the dream where he had left off With no competitors and the ability to "respawn" after every dream-death, John spent fifteen years relentlessly advancing. He broke through the shackles of mortality, transcended the laws of physics, and finally achieved the legendary Godless Realm. Known across the heavens as the Sage Emperor, he stood at the absolute peak of existence. Then, the "Game" officially launched and became Reality. The sky over Blue Star shattered. A cold, mechanical voice echoed in the minds of billions: [System Initialised: The Great Migration has begun.] [Target World: The Primordial Realm.] [Quest: Slay the Tyrant!] [Description: The Sage Emperor has achieved Supreme Authority. His reign is tyrannical and must be ended. All citizens of Blue Star are drafted as ‘Heroes’ to liberate the world.] John froze. Billions were chosen. His family. His friends. Every human on Blue Star. All granted power. All promised rewards. All sent to kill him. To survive, John makes the only choice he can— He accepts the quest. To kill himself. But as the System tightens its grip and the line between dream and reality collapses, one truth becomes clear: The world thinks it’s hunting a monster. But they have no idea… They’ve awakened something far worse.
