Novel Rating: 10/10 The saying "extreme joy begets sorrow" was likely coined for Lu Qingran. Just an hour ago, 28-year-old Lu Qingran had been promoted to manager of a department store. An hour later, she was in a car crash on her way home. When she woke up again, Lu Qingran was still Lu Qingran, but she had become the peasant girl Lu Qingran. Since she was here, she would make the best of it, Lu Qingran thought optimistically, but reality had other plans. The peasant girl, Lu Qingran, had lost her birth mother early. Her father remarried, and her stepmother, having given birth to two plump, healthy boys in three years, had become the family's hero, elevating her stepsister's status in the process. The stepsister had a marriage contract to a dirt-poor family. The stepsister refused to marry, making Lu Qingran the only suitable substitute bride. The young girl couldn't bear the thought, and when she woke up again, the soul within her was new. "I'll marry for you, but only if you sever all ties with me," the new Lu Qingran declared. "From now on, I will have nothing to do with any of you." The stepmother and stepsister couldn't have been happier. The in-laws were poor, true, but the father-in-law was honest and decent, the mother-in-law was sharp and capable, and the younger siblings were sweet. The family was harmonious. As for her cheap husband? Lu Qingran could only say that Heaven had been kind; she had actually encountered such a peerless good man. Then came the great drought from the heavens. Grains yielded nothing, barbarians invaded, and the people were forced to flee. From then on, drought, locusts, torrential rain, floods, plague... natural disasters struck relentlessly. While others fleeing the famine withered to sticks, the Yan family members were rosy-cheeked and plump. Her severed family came knocking to sponge off her good fortune. Lu Qingran's response was sharp: "Who are you? I don't know you." Author: Translator:

Moving from Galar to Kanto, Serena Yvonne and her stepmother embark on Titanic's maiden voyage. On the ship, Serena falls in love with Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. As the supposedly "unsinkable ship" hits an iceberg on April 14th 1912, Ash and Serena have to try to escape the sinking vessel. Will they and their love survive? Or will they go down with the ship? Note: The technology in this universe is much more advanced than ours. Titanic's wreck was discovered in the 40s.The story is written in 1952 by 35 year old Liko Ketchum. This story uses the pokemon regions and human characters, but pokemon themselves do not exist. The ship sinks in the Galarian Ocean, as our real world oceans don't exist in that universe. James Cameron's film exists in universe as a fictional story based on true events. Jack is inspired by Ash, and Rose is inspired by Serena. The film was released in 1950 and like the real film, gained massive success at the box office. In this story, I write about Titanic as if she were a living being, even if she isn't actually alive. The characters refer to her as "she" or "her". This book is dedicated to the 1,500 men, women, and children who lost their lives aboard Titanic, and the 712 people that survived.

The world is ending one day at a time. By daylight, temperatures climb high enough to melt pavement and ignite the air. After sunset, the cold becomes just as deadly. Cities have burned, governments have gone silent, and the survivors who remain are either hiding underground or fighting for whatever is left. Jack, a former firefighter haunted by the loss of his best friend, has survived by staying alone. But when he crosses paths with Ava, an Earth Science teacher who saw the collapse coming long before anyone listened, isolation is no longer his only option. Ava has a shelter, a plan, and just enough hope to believe that somewhere beyond the ruined city, a protected sanctuary may still exist. Together, they must survive firestorms, freezing nights, violent militias, and a planet that is beginning to tear itself apart. As trust turns into love, Jack is forced to confront the truth about the people he lost-and the man whose betrayal still haunts him. With only fourteen days between survival and total collapse, Jack and Ava must decide what they are willing to forgive, what they are willing to sacrifice, and whether love can take root in a world that is dying. Fourteen Days is an emotional apocalyptic survival story about grief, betrayal, forgiveness, and two people choosing to build something new from the ruins of everything they knew.

Together, they must navigate quests, secrets, and the weight of destiny, as Cassandra struggles to prove that her voice matters and Percy learns that sometimes the hardest battles aren't fought with swords, but with trust.

Now the race isn't just against the storm. It's against time. With entire towns in the path of destruction, Skylar must decide whether to capture the storm of a lifetime... or sacrifice everything to save the people beneath it.
