Cowhead does what he has done best since the beginning of time -- he escorts dead souls to the Underworld, where the Lord of the Shadows appraises them before sending them into the afterlife. During one of these missions, Cowhead poses as Lord Yi, and meets the uncouth but charming Dong Fangyu, a mortal spinster who has yet to marry due to her very nature.
As the two fall in love, they both try their best to overcome the odds to be together--but can they? The heavenly laws dictate that a psychopomp and a mortal woman who has to go through many incarnations cannot be together.
And yet, the both of them are willing to try anyway.
Will they end up together? Only time will tell.

Erosion Of Devotion
In a world where celestial beings and mortal fates intertwine, Xu Mingyao, a once-revered warrior, slays the tyrannical dark lord (of some sort), securing peace for the realms. As his reward and redemption, he weds the radiant moon goddess, Ye Xian. Their happiness is short-lived when the dark lord's vengeful eldest child, seeking retribution, casts a cruel curse upon Mingyao-immortality entwined with blindness-before slaughtering Xian. Her divine soul and power shatter, scattering like falling stars across lands reminiscent of ancient China. Though frozen eternally at the age of twenty-eight, Mingyao's cursed body begins to decay as his blindness worsens. The only way to mend his broken form is to retrieve every fragment of Xian and grant her the burial she deserves. Yet, to sever the chains of his immortality, he must extinguish the last living descendant of the bloodline that cursed him. Enter Liang Yuxuan, the grandson of the very heir who condemned Mingyao to his fate. Yuxuan, now the sole remaining scion of his bloodline, is fated to be the final key to breaking Mingyao's curse. Yet, in a cruel twist, Yuxuan has spent his life worshipping Mingyao, regarding him as a divine figure of justice and strength. Despite the hatred that festers within his family, Yuxuan secretly aids Mingyao in recovering Xian's shards, fully aware that his unwavering devotion may ultimately lead to his own death at the hands of the man he adores. As their journey unfolds, an unspeakable bond forms between them-one torn between destiny and longing, vengeance and love. When the final choice must be made, will Mingyao be able to strike down the only person who has ever truly understood him? Or will fate carve a new path from the remnants of their shattered past?

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES] She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that. ---------------------------------------------------- #No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021 #No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021 #No.8 in murder 2/8/2021 Updates weekly!

In a world where power is everything, his cultivation is crippled, and his future is bleak.

To survive, he must embrace the very darkness within him. To seize power, he must walk a razor's edge of forbidden desires and monstrous ambition. Can a self-proclaimed navigate the treacherous politics of a cultivator clan and ascend to the top, or will his shameful obsessions be his ultimate downfall?
