Investing in My Crippled Wife: Every Return Makes Me Stronger

When the world casts you aside, the ultimate comeback begins. Soren was branded a worthless, unawakened dud, a family embarrassment with no future. Ethea was the legendary Ice Empress, now left paralyzed after a catastrophic Gate incident. Cast out by their families, they were forced into an arranged marriage, abandoned and disowned. Their families assumed they were finished, but fate had other plans. That very wedding night, Soren awakens a unique power: the Investment Authority. Risk his life to save hers? Get Supreme grade returns. Help her cultivate again? Gain an equal amount of experience immediately. Cook and feed her? Become the world’s most skilled chef. Through his devotion, Ethea slowly transforms from a broken doll into something that surpasses even her legendary past. And Soren? The "worthless" unawakened trash becomes the most dangerous investor the world has ever seen. Their families wanted to forget them. The world dismissed them as failures. They're about to learn that the greatest returns come from investing in someone everyone else deemed worthless. "You threw us away. Now watch us rise." _______ _____ _ Author's Note: Hey everyone!

Saint Who Lay Low

When Gu An was just a servant, he accidentally broke a pot containing a spiritual flower. In his fear and panic, he discovered that he had actually seized twelve years of lifespan from it! From that moment on, a path to immortality stretched out before Gu An! To cultivate immortality peacefully, Gu An chose to become a menial disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect, tending to medicinal herbs every day and seizing their lifespans to further his cultivation. Through lifespan evolution, his basic cultivation techniques continually transformed, eventually evolving from simple foundational arts into divine abilities capable of reaching the heavens! Eras passed, stars shifted, and the mortal world experienced countless changes. Eventually, legends of immortals began to spread among humanity. Gu An, now revered as an immortal, spent half of his lifespan to transcend the limits of the immortal path, achieving the realm of a Saint, rising above the Heavenly Dao itself. However, one day, a white-robed elder, exuding an aura of immortality, came to visit Gu An. "This humble Taoist is the Star Lord of Xuanqing in the heavens. The Great Emperor Taihao has heard of the virtuous deeds you have done in the mortal realm—your repeated efforts to save countless lives, accumulating immeasurable merit. The Emperor has sent me down to summon you to join the ranks of the immortals and assume the position of Immortal Officer, Heavenly Horse Guardian." Gu An asked, "May I inquire, what are the duties of the Heavenly Horse Guardian?" "The Heavenly Court possesses divine steeds capable of traversing the heavens and earth, entering and exiting the realms of yin and yang. The role of the Heavenly Horse Guardian is to tend to and feed these divine steeds." Hmm? Tend to horses? ____________________ You can read advance chapters of this novel and other novels in my patreon patreon.com/NO_NAME1412

Weaves of Ashes

She died saving a world. She woke up in a body that couldn't save itself. Sixty years of war. A rebellion built from nothing. A detonation that freed thousands and erased her from existence. Commander SN1068 didn't expect to wake up. Reborn on Doha — a world where cultivation determines your worth and power decides who lives — Jayde carries a lifetime of military experience in a body the world labels Voidforge. The lowest of the low. No cultivation. No value. Her family discards her at six years old. Her mother dies, calling her a monster. By nightfall, she's in the slave pits. She survives ten years of darkness with nothing but a dead soldier's instincts and the stubborn refusal to stop breathing. Then her blood touches something ancient, a library explodes, and the world notices her for all the wrong reasons. Jayde runs. Into a forest that should kill her. Into alliances that shouldn't be possible. Into a power she doesn't trust — because the last time she had power, she used it to destroy herself. Now she's building again. Quietly. Ruthlessly. Accumulating debts, allies, and enemies in a world where prophecies have a habit of choosing the people least equipped to survive them. She doesn't want to be chosen. She wants to build water purifiers and be left alone. Doha has other plans. Across realms, a demon king feels a bond he thought was severed ten thousand years ago. Ren has searched for his truemate across millennia — through wars, betrayals, and a grief that nearly unmade him. His jade pendant is warming. She's out there. Alive. And he will burn through anything that stands between them. He just doesn't know she's a sixteen-year-old girl in a disguise, building irrigation systems and pretending to be nobody. --- Weave of Ashes is a multi-POV cultivation fantasy about a reincarnated soldier rebuilding from nothing in a world that runs on power she was born without. It's about found families forged in blood rather than sentiment, a slow-burn romance that spans realms, conspiracies that reach back millennia, and the stubborn conviction that the world doesn't have to be this cruel. --- Dark worlds. Fierce love. No shortcuts. --- Content Warning: This story contains depictions of child abuse, slavery, trauma, violence, death, and dark themes, including horror elements. Reader discretion advised. 300+ chapters published. Ongoing. Updated daily. ONLY available on Webnovel

Lustful Way to Immortality, From Primitive Boy to Immortal God

On an auspicious night, a mysterious spirit descended from the unknown origin. It swept to a humble hut, before merging into the very soul of a young boy named Fuyu. Fuyu was a normal boy, living with his adopted family, working his ass off to help the family and himself to survive the winter, to be able to live till next summer. Till that one night, everything changed. His ignorant self realized something that was beyond the capability for any mortal in the tribe to ever grasp, what he learned through the help of that siprit. Fuyu who was naive and only knew few survival tricks, learned about the upper realms, spirits, multiple worlds, spiritual energy, beastman, fairies, dragons, Gods, Immortals, Emperors, and many more. His narrow worldview, had completely shattered on this discovery with the help of that unknown origin spirit, granting him an entire new life goal to achieve something that his previous self would never, even dreamed of even in thousand lifetime. His goal and pursuit of life changed, his priorities shifted. His simple origin as a side character was gone. With this knowledge the journey began, from surviving to dominating not only to this world but worlds beyond worlds, Realms beyond Realms. But with such large ambition, that can swallow even a fated one, his simple village, tribal life had also transformed to a brutal calculations and manipulation. Even One's wrath can kill him like an ant, but for the perseverance of his presuit, would he be crushed by the immortals like a beast, or would he rise above the heaven? Be a part of his beautiful yet dangerous journey, of this primitive boy. Synopsis won't do justice read the chapter yourself and determine. Read at least 20 chapters before deciding. Well it's in updating phase so sorry for inconvenience in reading. NOTE- The real story of absolute manipulation and power dynamics will start from when Mc would get reincarnated in immortal world, until then enjoy the primitive setting and ignore if you find something illogical because it was primitive world not modern world. So be kind enough to not judge before reading significant chapters as early chapters might be bit bad. Additional tag- Netori, Milf, Immortal Faries, mother and daughter pair, weak to strong, Loyal wives. here the reader's reward - ABDHY2TQSG8EH935A for 10 people only

“What Kind of Love Is This: An Untold Story”

Lust to Love ~ An impossible love born from a bond meant for betrayal. {Official Announcement} In this world of the Land of Consciousness, the powerful turn others into pawns in their dangerous games. However, this journey is not limited to merely fighting enemies. They must also protect themselves from those powerful cultivators and dark forces who seek to take control of others. Fate, however, has other plans. What begins as a bond driven by instinct and desire slowly blossoms into a love neither Lily nor Snehwal ever expected. As lust turns into trust, devotion, and sacrifice, the Yakshini and her host begin to defy the very laws of their world. Now, they must decide whether to surrender to destiny… or write a new fate together. Powers in the Land of Consciousness, By extracting spiritual stones from the brains of beasts and absorbing the spiritual energy that floats in the air, one can advance through ten stages of cultivation. Each stage is divided into three levels, Lower, Middle, and Higher. Almost everyone here possesses spiritual power, which in common parlance is simply energy. But only the Yakshinis possess magic along with spiritual power, magic that allows them to enslave male cultivators and gradually drain their cultivation to increase their own stage. What is a Yakshini? A Yakshini is a very beautiful, alluring, and youthful female-like being whose beauty is so rare and enchanting that it can disturb any man’s mind and thoughts through hypnotic magic. At the same time, she is highly advanced in the cultivation of spiritual energy. What is a host? A host is a person who is brought by the Yakshini from another realm, and this person has no power of their own. The Yakshini teaches the host the path of cultivation, and as the host progresses in practice, their power grows. But once the host gains strength, the Yakshini ensnares them, using promises of love and trust to manipulate them, draining all their powers, and gradually pushing them toward death, making the Yakshini even more powerful. © Duglas Bhagwan/Douglas_Bhagwan, 2025.
