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.

A Dance with Darkness and Light: Re-Origination by OGCarrel

Wordcount: 88.33K A bully in school, a parasite as a grown-up. The shadow of a man. A shunned member of society. Such are the descriptions given if one asked about a certain young man, but he couldn't care less. All that mattered to him was his mission, vengeance. 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. In a world, as our "prince" will soon learn, vastly different from Earth. Now known as the fourth prince of Ralun, Bazuul Ylvazad, he has to adjust and learn quickly if he wishes to survive. Something he himself isn't quite sure of. The question though is, did he really have another option? Obviously death didn't work. ~~~ Ytolan map: https://imgur.com/zwmHOb8 Seven Kingdoms map: https://imgur.com/a/CIunFJd www.instagram.com/og_carrel www.patreon.com/og_carrel

Wei Wuxian, The Hateful by Chartez

Vengeful Spirit!Wei Wuxian AU. Put simply, if you all remember the time Wei Wuxian and Wen Ning were on the way to Yanli and Zixuan's marriage, he was shot down by several Jin's, going against given orders. Wen Ning went into a rage, killing most of the Jin's BUT Zixuan lived after Wen Ning heard the spluttering of Wei Ying, Zixuan followed him too. Wei Ying was killed, but no funeral was held, except the Wens, but they weren't allowed to bury his body as it was taken and burned; hence almost everyone, including Lan Wangji, forgot about him. The remaining Wens were killed, except Wen Yuan - who'll come in later -, Wangji found a new lover, Jiang Cheng continued his Sect Leader duties. The only ones to remember are Jiang Yanli, Jin Zixuan, Wen Yuan, and surprisingly, Lan Xichen, who is rather disappointed in his younger brother, and Lan Qiren who, despite not having the greatest relationship with Wei Wuxian, had a small amount of appreciation for staying with his nephew and his expansive knowledge. He will not, however, admit to even slightly missing the boy when asked by the older nephew. During what seems like a relatively normal day, objects go flying around and cryptic messages appear in an unidentifiable crimson liquid, scrawled and messy. How will those who forgot react, let alone those who remember? ----- Most interactions will take place through Inquiry. Fluff? Very little. A somewhat fatherly/brotherly bond between Wei Ying with Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen. Angst? Most Definitely.

Your dreams by MydlaMydla

Wei Wuxian arrived for guest lectures to the Cloud Recesses. However, Lan Wangji quickly notices, that there is something strange about the Yunmeng Jiang sect head disciple. He does not act like rumour describe him. And most importantly, he does not act the same as he had done in the past. Moreover, there are strange visions that Lan Wangji gets when he is close to Wei Wuxian. Just what is going on? OR Wei Wuxian travelled back to the past. He does not remember anything and does not want to get close to Lan Wangji. What will Lan Wangji do? This work is inspired by request from Olivia Hawkins: "A time travel fic after Guanyin Temple where WWX uses MXY's golden core to travel all the way back before he went to the Cloud Recesses and he takes this pill that prevents him from falling in love. Every time LWJ is near WWX, he has visions of the events that occurred later in the novel such as the Cloud Recesses burning, WWX giving his golden core to JC, WWX being thrown into burial mounds and WWX becoming the YP. He approaches WWX this time and hopes that he can protect him but is rejected constantly. So he summons most of the cultivation world to tell them about the visions he had seen." This fic will contain themes and mentions that may be triggering, please read the warnings and tags I used and proceed at you own discretion. English is not my first language so I apologise in advance for any mistakes. I am also not very familiar with Chinese culture, customs nor naming conventions so this work may in some places not be 100% accurate. I do not own any characters I have used in my story, this is purely a work of fan fiction. Hope you will enjoy reading :)

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? Inspired by Theseus and the Minotaur, this is the second book of the Migong series. Cover by Rowein. Copyright © TL_Nonoke 2023. All rights reserved.
