If she could use any 3 words to describe herself, Jiang Yue would say that she is rich, beautiful, and extremely smart. Unfortunately, she took these for granted in her past life, causing her downfall. After reincarnating to her 15 year old self, Jiang Yue wants only three things: to build an empire, spend more time with the people who love her and live a happy life. In his past life, he was unable to express his love for Jiang Yue. Now that he has reincarnated, all he wants to do is show Jiang Yue how much he loves her. If she wants only three things, then he wants only three things: to build an empire for her, to spend more time with her, and live a happy life with her. Mixed with a little hint of mind-boggling mysteries and secrets, what happens when two reincarnated individuals meet and fall in love? "Do you believe in reincarnation?" Fu Jin's question instantly made Jiang Yue froze. She remembered how she was the one who asked this question when they first met. "Of course I do." She answered. She was the living proof that reincarnation existed. "Why are you asking that?" "Well...if I tell you that I reincarnated just to make you mine, would you believe me?" His question immediately gave Jiang Yue goosebumps. She did not answer him, instead, she turned around so she could face him. Their gazes met. "Then if you were given a chance to reincarnate, would you find me again and make me yours?" She asked. "Of course." He answered, as he tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "I would find you and wait for you Mrs. Fu. Even if it would have taken million years and million lifetimes." Fu Jin's answer instantly made Jiang Yue smile. However, this time, a mysterious light flashed in her eyes. Maybe, Fu Jin's words were true. Maybe, he also reincarnated just like her. And maybe...just maybe, their souls were already connected, long before they reincarnated.

MYTH-TAKEN IDENTITY - a 2025 ONC novella by StephRose1201

An introverted, recluse gamer accidentally finds out she's the reincarnation of a Greek god/goddess, and is stuck in a world-altering time-loop until she figures out WHICH god/goddess she's destined to become. ***** Ophelia Jones is...well, she's nothing. She asks for nothing. She WANTS nothing. Just to stay in her dark basement-apartment, do her mindless data-entering job by day, play video games by night. She refuses to participate in a real social life, and won't read the news or be active in the LGTBQIA+ scene that she belongs in. No, Ophelia is done giving a sh**. She'd rather live in her fantasy world, ignoring the real world around her. That is, until a mysterious puddle surfaces in her backyard, and she jokingly wonders if it'll be a portal to another world, someplace better - and she falls into it. Oh, she's transported to a new world, all right -- but not a parallel world or an alternate universe. She's transported to the past; into mythology, specifically. Greek mythology, to be even more exact. Because according to Alfie, her "spiritual guide", she's a reincarnated god or goddess, and has to figure out who. Problem? SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT GREEK MYTHOLOGY. ONC prompts 37 + 5

I Got Stuck In My Favorite Webtoon by chibikc

I'm stuck in a Webtoon. Sounds cool, right? No. I should have watched Love Game in Eastern Fantasy a little closer instead of skipping through half the series. The only way home? Convince the dangerously handsome Legendary General to gift me one of his most prized possessions. Will I survive long enough to find my way back or will I lose myself in a story that isn't mine? *** This is a work of fiction that's set in a fantasy world. While inspiration has been drawn from various historical and cultural elements of Imperial China, it should not be considered an accurate representation of the history, politics, social order, spirituality, philosophy, or customers of those eras. Also heavily influenced and inspired by Love Game in Eastern Fantasy.

A Thousand Life Times by aerusaerus

She's lived as an Empress, Doctor, Noble lady, Assassin, Slave and even a Dancer. She had so many identities, so many faces and life times that she didn't even remember what her first life was about, nor could she remember her name. Yet now, having given all that she could, fighting through the night until her last breath surrounded by enemies on all sides. Even with her vision starting to blur, there was no hints of fear in her eyes. 'Please just let me die.' Praying to the Gods above, she only hoped that when she closed her eyes, this time, they would never open again. But it did. "FUCK!" She cursed at the Gods above! Reborn into the body of an orphaned daughter? No problem, what she had was wealth and honorary title that her father had left behind! Married into an infamous Generals' manor? Fine! As long as he doesn't disturb her, he is just another big money tree for her to take shelter under! This time she was determined to lead a lazy and peaceful life, taking a break from "living". But why does it seems that God had other plans for her. Things weren't as simple as they turned out to be.

Chapter 601: Stolen Wine by null

Remembering You For Eternity by runexi

[[Book 2 (FINAL book) of "One Lifetime is Never Enough"]] "I would have waited for you forever." The lament of a faraway voice that she had missed - that she had been longing to answer to - echoed in her mind. "But, you are no longer here." The despairing sigh was a muted murmur - clawing at her, begging for her to respond. But she was there, here, wherever the voice was. But then again, she might as well was not. She could no longer see, could no longer reach him. The voice sounded so near, but it was also as far as another world she could no longer be in. Nevertheless, she could still feel, in the darkness that was cradling her non-existence; the agony she felt in her non-beating heart, in her dormant soul, it was all due to her longing. For the owner of the voice. For him. The voice kept begging in agony - tormenting her, tormenting himself. And she could not do anything. "Please wait for me." "Please remember me." "Why... why can't I see you?" "Won't you wait for me?" ----------------- For you, I will wait for eternity. This time, I will wait. This time, it is my turn to wait. So please, please just let me find you. Please, be there when I find you. Please, tell me that you are still mine. That I still exist, perhaps not in your memory, but etched in your very soul. Like you have been deeply engraved in mine, lingering like a beautiful illness I will gladly bear and succumb to. Because, I will search to all corners of this world, and wait until the end of days. For you. Because, this world will always be wretched without you. And then, I will always, forever, bloom. For you. -----------------
