Her System, His Obsession
Prologue - The Beginning They said she was weak. They said she was unwanted, unloved, unworthy. But when Ji Yunxi opened her eyes in a body that wasn't her own, she learned the truth- she was bound to a System. A cruel, merciless voice whispered in her mind: > [Complete your missions. Cross the worlds. Face slap the fakes.] Every task seemed small. Protect a sibling. Pass an exam. Survive a night. But with every world, the enemies grew sharper, the betrayals deeper, the battles deadlier. Ji Yunxi, once a broken soul, became a storm cloaked in silk. A woman who smiled coldly as her rivals choked on their own schemes. And yet- through every world, through every face slap, through every twist of fate- he was always there. The tyrant in the high school hallway. The CEO in the glass tower. The general on the battlefield. The immortal above the clouds. Everywhere she went, he found her. Always stronger. Always watching. Always hers. She only wanted to finish her missions. But he only wanted one thing- Her. And in the end, when the final world comes, when her true mission is revealed... she will have to decide: Will she walk away, or will she finally admit that across a thousand worlds, his obsession became her fate?Complete
The Forgotten nameless and the elf princess
Long ago, the Void claimed a soul of humankind, stripping away their name, their history, their face. All memory of them faded from the world, save for the chorus of whispers the Void left behind. Thus they became The Nameless Whispered One - forgotten, yet forever haunted. But though the Void unmade them, it also left them tools. The Nameless moved like a shadow across stone, their steps forgotten as soon as they were made. Doors barred to others opened at their touch, for no lock remembered to resist them. Their daggers struck unseen, their enemies already fallen before their names could be spoken. Where others saw a curse, the Nameless carried silence as a blade. Yet even shadows need an anchor. In the halls of the evergreen court lived a princess, ageless as the trees from which her crown was carved. Her memory was unbroken, her gaze unshaken. Where all others forgot the Nameless moments after meeting them, the princess remembered. Always. She walked beside them when no one else could. She stayed their hand when the whispers urged blood. She gave them a place in her story, when they had none of their own. The people feared her choice. They whispered that she risked her throne and her immortal line by binding herself to a soul touched by the Void. But still she kept the Nameless at her side - the forgotten blade and the eternal princess. Together they became a legend: one lost, one unyielding. The Nameless slipped through shadows, unseen and unremembered, while the princess stood radiant, the only one who could call them back from the abyss. And so the tale is told: when a shadow passes silently through the forest and no one recalls its shape, it is the Nameless at work. And when you see a lone princess walking the moonlit woods, know she is not alone - for her memory is the one chain the Void itself could not break.

Life and Death
Disclaimer: This novel involves abuse, sexual abuse and suicide. A destiny I never chose. A life I never wanted. A heart I swore never to give again. Death should have been my release. Instead, I awoke in another world... in another body... in another life. It should have been a second chance. But scars don't fade just because the skin is new. The memories still haunt me, silent shadows that twist my every thought, every fear, every breath. I care for no one. I trust nothing. I wish only for an end... yet something, some cruel, invisible force always pulls me back from the edge. I am a pawn dressed in silk and gold, forced into a game I never agreed to play. But even in a heart frozen by trauma, the warmth of life begins to seep in. Slowly, I begin to feel again. To breathe again. To hope. Then fate strikes once more. Another decision, made without me. Another future, sealed by hands not my own. And I realize... I may have escaped death, but not destiny. In a world of monsters, thrones and betrayal, can a shattered soul carve her own fate or will the past always bind her to a future she never wanted?
