In his previous life, Lu Yao only lived to the age of thirty-five, unable to come out due to family pressure and dying alone. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself transported to ancient times, not only ten years younger but also with a husband who has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and an eight-pack. Could there be such good fortune in this world? Just as Lu Yao is overjoyed, he notices that his husband's gaze seems particularly cold, even wanting to divorce him... Zhao Beichuan lost both parents and took on the responsibility of caring for his two young siblings. To provide for them, he agreed to a marriage arranged by a matchmaker. He didn't need his spouse to be beautiful; all he asked was that she be kind-hearted and frugal. The matchmaker painted a rosy picture, but turned around and found him a "flower pillow," someone who looks good but can do nothing else. On their first day of marriage, this person almost hanged himself from the beam of Zhao Beichuan's house. Later, Zhao Beichuan learned that this young man had a lover and didn't want to marry him, yet he had unwittingly become the one to break up a pair of ill-fated lovers. Forced marriages don't last, so Zhao Beichuan decided to let him go, but unexpectedly, this little creature wouldn't leave, always sneaking his hands into Zhao Beichuan's bed at night, saying, "Husband, let me feel your abs..."

After spending his sixth year at Hogwarts a century ago, Harry finds himself back in the cupboard under the stairs in 1991, once again receiving his Hogwarts acceptance letter. "You're telling me my parents were killed by a dark wizard?" Harry asked. "Who is this dark wizard? Why are you all so afraid of him that you won't even say his name?" "It's Vol-," Hagrid began cautiously. "Well, we call him Voldemort, because he personally killed hundreds of people." Harry nodded nonchalantly. "And what happened the next day?" Hagrid: "Uh?" -------

The flames consumed her-body and soul. Betrayed by the man who swore to love her and the friend who pretended to kneel at her feet, Tang Min died with a heart full of venom and eyes burning with unspent vengeance. But fate is a cruel and whimsical thing. It gave her death. And then-it gave her revenge. Reborn from the ashes of her past life, Tang Min returns with a smile sharper than any blade. The world that once discarded her will now tremble at her feet. She plays the game of thrones with a serpent's grace, turning her enemies' schemes against them, watching as they unravel in the very traps they set for her. And then-he appears. A prince wrapped in shadows, a wolf hiding in silk. The world sees a nobleman of quiet restraint, but Tang Min recognizes the hunger in his gaze-the same fire that burns in her. He wants power. He wants the throne. But most of all... he wants her. And for her? He would conquer kingdoms. Together, they are a storm the world cannot withstand. This is not a story of forgiveness. This is a story of fire. And the world will burn. A/n 🌸 HUI SAYS "HI!!!" 🌸 "LET'S LEARN & LOVE TOGETHER!" (╥﹏╥)✧ "HIIIII~ THIS STORY IS MY WHOLE HEART...

The wars are over, but the story isn't. Ode to the Daughter of Death is a collection of quiet hymns to the life Kallistrate and Telemachus built in the shadow of Olympus-a mortal marriage that endures gods, grief, and time itself. Across the years, their home becomes a kingdom shaped by devotion: Penelope's wisdom still steering its halls, Odysseus' memory haunting its shorelines, and their children growing into the myths that will outlive them. From the reckless tenderness of young love to the calm ache of old age, these stories trace the heartbeat of Ithaca-the laughter that fills its courtyards, the olive groves that remember their vows, and the gods who cannot quite let them go. Ares is still as sharp as a blade's edge; Athena still watches from her high, silent perch; Althea still learns how to wield both blade and mercy. Between feasts and funerals, miracles and mischief, this is the song of what remains when legends rest-the love, the lineage, and the mortal courage that dares to keep living.

Once, he was their savior - a nameless immortal who rose from the shadows to fight beside the gods during the Gigantomachy.

Neither god nor mortal, bound only by vengeance, he walks the world unseen, watching Olympus through eyes that no longer dream. And the gods who betrayed him? They will remember why they once feared the dark.
