CORRECTION: The Naked Sword Book One
Kairo Shen dies on a bathroom floor in Osaka at twenty-six. No light, no warning. He wakes up naked in a forest that has no name for him, in a world that has never heard of him, with nothing but the clothes a stranger lends him and a mind that cannot stop mapping what it sees.
What he sees is a system. A levy that bleeds villages dry by design. Stewards who walk through doors like they own them. A lord who eats well while old men stop tending their gardens.
He has no magic. No sword. No destiny handed to him by anyone.
What he has is the ability to read a broken thing and understand exactly where the rot started. And the patience to build, from nothing, the tools to correct it.
Book One follows Kairo's first year. From a forest floor to a village to a garrison to a battlefield. From nobody to Shield Warden. From a man who woke up with nothing to a man who knows what he is building and why it is going to take much longer than he wants it to.

My Sugar Daddy is not from this century
My name is Babi, and my only goal in life was to retire early. I had the perfect plan: my gold Baby Boo dress, my Swarovski crystals, and that Victoria's Secret scent that makes everyone stop in their tracks. My target? My wealthy "Sugar Daddy." But gossip is an extreme sport. While trying to film a TikTok in the wrong place, my Chanel heels betrayed me, and the cliff became my runway to disaster. When I woke up on a beach, I thought: "Great, I survived and my makeup is still intact." I didn't count on the hit to the head, or waking up in chains in a filthy 1910 Scottish slave market. My expensive perfume now mixes with the smell of dirt, and my only hope for freedom has a name: Ares McLean. A tattooed redhead with icy blue eyes and the heir to a clan that doesn't accept strangers... much less a girl from the future who demands her skincare routine and refuses to get her shoes dirty. How did I go from hunting millionaires to being the "property" of a Scotsman who seems to hate me as much as he desires me?
Secretly hired as Master's Prey
In the misty highlands of Yānlín, the gothic Black Orchid Estate serves as the secluded home of Yè Júnhào, an ancient and reclusive vampire. Every year, 100 beautiful women are hired as maidservants. Lín Xuěyáo, a stunning young woman desperate to save her dying grandmother and clear massive medical debts, joins them. She's selected for the most intimate role: personally serving the master himself. What she doesn't know is that the vampire has chosen her as his prey - a source of blood to sustain his immortal existence. However, her unique, intoxicating scent awakens something far deeper in him: an overwhelming addiction and love that flips the power dynamic. Instead of draining her, he becomes captivated by her presence. The predator turns into the captive, craving her companionship more than her blood. Amid candlelit shadows and forbidden tension, a passionate romance blooms between the immortal vampire and the human woman who unexpectedly holds power over his ancient heart. It's framed as a dark tale of obsession, seduction, and redemption - classic "vampire falls hard for the one he can't harm" trope, with heavy emphasis on power imbalance, emotional intensity, and slow-burn (or steamy) forbidden love.
Wings of Ash and Broken Ruin

The Void empire is sweeping across the lands, bent on domination and ruin, and every step I take feels like I'm being pulled toward something I can't explain-like I don't belong on the sidelines of this story. Like I was meant to be in the middle of the battlefield. And the worst part? My heart already feels like it remembers him. Inspired by ACOTAR X Naruto XD
