ancientchina buddhism china dark darkfantasy destiny historicalfantasy kungfu martialarts rebellion revenge shaolin taoism wuxia

When the Manchu invasion of China gave birth to the Qing Dynasty, the famous Shaolin Temple met its end at the hands of the empire. Only five practitioners of Shaolin kung fu managed to make it out alive. And it is there they swore to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore native Han rule to China. However, it's been almost three hundred years since that oath was taken.

Jin Qilin is a student of the Shaolin monks, trained as an exorcist of demons and malevolent spirits. A shadow stains his very soul, following him like a haunting specter as he wanders China, slaying demons to get ever closer to the creature that orchestrated the destruction of a little village in Fujian. Though he quickly finds himself at odds with his goal. Is he the hunter or the hunted? Is he confronting his past or running from it? Must he trek this road alone?

TW: Dark themes explored, including sexual assault, graphic violence, religious conflict, and ethnic prejudice. Please assess your own ability to read about such topics.

The Guardian Spirit (The Guardians of Nine Heavens #2) by TamunaTsertsvadze

Lucy Caldwell suffered a disaster in her childhood - her house was burnt, which turned fatal for her parents. She grew up in a children's house together with other orphans. She could never forget the fire incident and was sure her parents were murdered, so she always wished to investigate the case when she grew old enough. Lucy, like all the other children, frequents the Spirit School, where children are taught to control their inner spiritual energy. When they reach 15 years of age, they befriend spirits that reside in the vast Spirit Forest in East Land and receive the Bond Item - an object from them which permits them to summon their friends whenever they're in need. Each person is able to form a bond with a single spirit. However, there are certain spirits that never approach humans, are known as man-eaters and have marked severe borders on their territory, eating anyone who trespasses on them. Such is the clan of the tailed foxes - the Huli. Lucy has already reached 15 years, so she goes together with her classmates to the Spirit Forest to befriend a spirit and bond with them. However, while sitting around a bonfire and listening to her classmates' scary stories, she remembers the dreadful day of how her house caught fire in past and, worked up, she rushes off into the depths of the forest to cry off her anguish. But as elders often say, dense forests are definitely not a place for little children to run around, for the danger lies in every corner, as Lucy soon comes to realise... -- The ebook version of "The Guardian Spirit" is available on amazon.com. for $0.99 on the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FSRWVMZ -- The Paperback version is available on amazon.com. on the link: https://www.amazon.com/Guardian-Spirit-Guardians-Nine-Heavens/dp/1717875971/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Migong - Book 2 by TL_Nonoke

[**This is a sequel: Please read Book 1 first!!**] *** Whooosh! Hajoon frowned as he stared through the opening and into empty space. Other than the mist, nothing could be seen beyond that dark emptiness. Behind him Su Qian Qian quivered as the opening suddenly erupted into a wall of shadowed hands, grasping and clawing at the air. Moans and shrieks echoed as if the creatures trapped inside were howling to get out. Howling to pull them in... It's exactly like my dream...thought Feiyan with a small shudder. *** Travelling to Shobu in place of the Crown Prince, Feiyan must defeat the six guardians of the Ushitora to survive, but each victory only pushes her closer to the death awaiting her in the Migong. Meanwhile, Seiji is shocked to find that his childhood love has come to Shobu as a sacrifice. To save his beloved, he must stop the evil that is gathering in the capital. Both Feiyan and Seiji meet their destiny in the Migong, but will the red thread of fate lead them out or trap them in the dark forever?

Nothing could stop him in his tracks until one day his parents died. Though even that lasted only until the emptiness overcame him once again. At the beginning of his mission, there were five torches lighting his path, now, even the last one ceased at the flicker of its final light. After that, in an effort to join her, he also extinguished his light. Yet fate is a fickle mistress, and you should be careful what you wish for...because the Lord of the underworld seemed determined to send him into a different world. With his protest ignored he was swiftly dropped into the body of a recently deceased prince. Plunged into the seat of a kingdom, overflowing with intrigue and schemes.

Crimson Blossoms by 0824myra

Wèi Wúxiàn thought he could protect the Wēn remnants, but he was wrong. During the Siege of the Burial Mounds, he was captured, forced to watch in horror as those he vowed to protect were brutally slaughtered before his very eyes. Jīn Guāngshàn didn't just stop there. He tricked the entire world, making them believe that Wèi Wúxiàn was dead. In reality, Wèi Wúxiàn was imprisoned in the dark, cold cells beneath Lánlíng Jīn Clan, tortured mercilessly by Jīn Guāngshàn, his bastard son, and their men, all to pry out the secret of the Yīn Hǔ Fú. But Wèi Wúxiàn refused to break. He was cast back into the Burial Mounds once again, left to die alone. With his last breath, filled with fury and anguish, he swore revenge on the entire cultivation world. He never expected that someone-or something-would hear him. In a twist of fate, Wèi Wúxiàn wakes up as a child again, on the very day his parents died during a night-hunt. It should have been a chance to start over, but this world is still just as cruel. This time, he makes a different choice: he won't join any clan. Instead, he will become a rogue cultivator, honoring his parents by walking his own path. But fate isn't done with him. While traveling the roads, Wèi Wúxiàn is kidnapped by slave traders and sold to women who bought him at a staggering price. Just when he thinks his second life is doomed, he is taken to Crimson Blossoms, a brothel that rescues children. Perhaps this life is not as merciless as he thought... ...Or is it?
