The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

In the mansion of the Duke of Tang in Jinyang, a pair of twin brothers resided. The elder brother, Li Shimin, was physically robust and excelled in martial arts, while the younger, Li Xuanba, had been consuming medicines from the time he was born. It was often said that twins shared a mysterious telepathic link. Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke, confirmed these rumors to be true.... more>>

After several moments of shock caused by the astonishing words originating from Li Xuanba's mind, Li Shimin decided to confront his twin. "Xuan, do you know that each time you focus your mind, I can hear your thoughts? Can you possibly stop doing so? I prefer not to listen." Li Xuanba, known far and wide as the fragile son who was always under the weather retorted, "No. If you're dissatisfied, you can talk as well." Li Shimin, though physically healthy but mentally not as robust as Li Xuanba, tried with all his might to conjure a mental expression, only managing to squeeze out a single character after turning a shade of purple. "Ah!!!!!!!" This left Li Xuanba almost laughing himself into convulsions.

In his previous life, Li Xuanba worked as an editor for a historical marketing account. He had specialized in trolling Li Shimin to gain traffic. However, after overworking himself to death one night, he was reborn as the fragile twin brother of Li Shimin, a character from a historical fiction novel famous for a bravery akin to that of Xiang Yu, but in reality died of illness at the age of sixteen. Li Xuanba thought, "Oh ho, this is retribution." Regardless, he decided to go with the flow, even telling his brother, "Hey, if you want any spoilers, I'll tell you!" Li Shimin, exasperated, retorted, "I don't want to hear anything!!"

Years later, Li Shimin was adorned in dragon robes, his hands stained with fresh blood. Li Xuanba, frail as ever, was still alive. One day, after Li Xuanba fell onto the ground pretending to faint after an argument with Wei Zheng, Li Shimin hoisted his brother onto his back and set off running, just like when they were children. "Hahaha, brother, you should have seen how twisted old Wei's face was!" Li Xuanba laughed. "Shut up!" replied Li Shimin. "Congratulations, brother. You can finally say two words, hehe." Once again, Li Shimin displayed a grimace of annoyance, carrying his bothersome brother forward with each step.

Footnote:
This is a story that the author enjoys writing, filled with palace intrigue, sibling rivalry, and acts of patricide. It's an alternative history, filled with many unfounded rumors and private settings. The dialogs and appellations are more modernized instead of being authentic to the Tang Dynasty. The main characters are far from perfect: Li Shimin has his flaws as a feudal emperor; Li Xuanba is even less of a good person, his main priority being his own well-being. Updates are daily. If any changes, an announcement will be made.

Next up is the lengthy novel "Ren Xiaojun Liu Ying Ye of the Great Han Dynasty". Please add it to your favorites! In this story, Liu Ying awakens his memories from a past modern life at the age of five. He knows his "history". He remembers his father, Liu Bang, tried to depose him, and his mother, Lü Zhi, attempted to scare him to death. All these memories ignited his anger towards his cruel parents.

Stealing is not a gentleman's business. When ordinary people do this kind of business, they do one-shot deals but when Ye Fu Liu does this kind of business, she pays attention to the long term benefits.... more>>

She specialized in looking for abandoned old mansions, visiting them repeatedly, and then moving in openly as the owner. Later she slowly moved the fine antique furniture one by one in an open and honest manner.

There was a sickly man who spoke little and had a gloomy look on his face living next door to the courtyard wall of the new mansion selected by Ye Fu Liu.

The sick man sat high up in the small building all day long, looking quietly at the wall. There were quite a few meetings in the morning and evening.

Ye Fu Liu took her time and acted like a friendly neighbor, asking for help, delivering food, and inviting doctors. After taking care of the sick man's health, the two parties became familiar with each other.

It took two months to vacate the house and three months to resell the furniture. Within five months, she had developed a close friendship with the sick man next door.

On the day before leaving, Ye Fu Liu reluctantly said goodbye to her good neighbor.

"Money has been tight recently, so I had no choice but to sell off my ancestral home. I met the master once, and we have formed a long-term relationship. We will meet later."

Master Wei, a man of few words, rarely opened his mouth to express his thanks said, "The Wei family's old house here has been in disrepair for a long time, and those old furniture cannot be sold at a good price.”

“...Wei has several other vacant residences, and the furniture there is more expensive. Madam Ye is tight on money, so she can choose another place slowly to move."

Jin Yanliu, the man with divine facial features, mega-rich, is viral at the age of twenty.... more>>

One day, he finds out that he is actually living in a book called “Taking Turns to Dote on.” In the book, his body is the one that someone else’s soul will transmigrate into.

According to the plot, the soul will spend his money, enjoy his fame, and use his beauty—to seduce the four big shots within the story.

Ha!

It wouldn’t matter if he didn’t know, but he’s got to fight back since he knows already!

As a result, Jin Yanliu set his eyes on the four big shots from the novel.

The first big shot: His step brother who looks mellow and calm on the outside but is actually sick and dark with paranoid and fanatical deviations.

The second big shot: his well-known archrival in the showbiz world.

The third big shot: The cautious leader of his anti-fans and has extreme fighting strength.

The fourth big shot: The tyrannical, cold blooded disabled bigshot who never experienced any warmth.

Jin Yanliu personally groomed them all to be his worst enemies.

After doing so, he set free his inner self, became unbridled with arrogance and squandered money. Soon, he went from the legend of the entertainment industry to the joke. Finally, he jumped into the river, just as the novel had foretold.

Transmigrate! Transmigrate! Better transmigrate fast so that you could receive this mess and be oppressed by these big shots!

But…

Why isn’t he transmigrating?! Why?!

Befuddled, Jin Yanliu was quickly surrounded by the big shots.

They stared at him with red eyes filled with hatred, yet they couldn’t help but yearn for him.

F*ck. A bit too exciting, this is. <<less

Little Fairy Wen was at loggerheads with Young Master Huo in her previous life.

Little Fairy Wen: "Can I suck up to you?"

"Scram."

That was expected. It would only be strange if Little Fairy Wen could succeed.

Not long later—

"Young Master Huo brought Little Fairy Wen to the countryside to watch shooting stars."

"Young Master Huo beat his love rival up so badly the latter is in the hospital."

Little Fairy Wen, the person involved, is pushed into a corner by Young Master Huo.

"I dare you to break up with me."

Little Fairy Wen smiles brightly. "You were the one who told me to scram."

The fierce Young Master Huo becomes a meek little puppy in the next second. "Don't break up with me. My life is yours from now on."

...

Wen Ruan died brutally in her previous life. Young Master Huo, who was terminally ill, collected her corpse and even laid into the crystal coffin with her after consuming poison.

Now that she's reborn, her goal is to tear the scumbags and b*tches apart, cure his illness, suck up to him, and become his precious little fairy.

The south wind knew my mood and dreamed of Xi Zhou. ... more>>

I met a man who was like a breeze and bright moon. I didn’t think about anything. I just wanted to love him.

I only wish to be with you, from light to dusk, until our hair is grey.

In the 18th summer, Gu Ruanruan spent her summer holiday in Muyun county. After swimming, she had saved someone from a car accident. That man is Fu Xizhou, who woke up three days later without any memories. The kind-hearted Ruanruan decided to take care of him. And after one month, she developed feelings for him. But before she could confess, that man had disappeared.

Four years later, she reunited with him in the airport. Over the years, her feelings were still the same, much like aging, they grew even more intensely. After he recovers his memories, he is still him to her, although he was different from the introverted and gentleman in her memory. Yet, she was still obsessed with her love and heartbroken.

She chased him for half a year, and finally, he proposed to her. She thinks she finally touched his heart. But, he disappeared on their wedding day, making her fall into a dark abyss. When she came closer to him, she found that his world was way more and more complicated than she had imagined.

When we were just nineteen, we fell in love, I did everything for him. And naively think, if we give all of our heart, we will get the same back. But life is not that simple like that. Not all feelings will receive equal reward. <<less

“…… Please allow me to receive the delegation alongside you, Your Majesty.”... more>>

“No. There isn’t anyone that doesn’t know that I don’t have a shred of feelings for you anyways, so is there a need to put on an act?”

The nobles covered their mouths with fans at the sight of the Empress being openly embarrassed by the Emperor but didn’t retract their gazes.

Along with the fed-up Edmund’s unkind treatment, the courage that was squeezed out disappeared instantly, and Sotis bowed her head without saying anything.

Sotis loved Edmund.

But Edmund hated Sotis.

“I have no intention of letting you go today.”

“I’ve never asked you to let go of me. It’s alright if you make a mess, so hurry…”

The Emperor, who’d made the Empress become an object of gossip for the nobles, sought his mistress’ embrace. Sotis felt miserable whenever she saw Edmund whispering affectionately to another woman.

‘Will everyone be happy if I disappear? Would it be alright if I disappeared? It’s just, if only I could disappear.’

***

Within the bedroom where the Empress slept quietly without waking, only a mage saw her wounded soul.

As Sotis sat by the window, she seemed shy and embarrassed, while combing her long hair with a faint smile.

“Even if you don’t lift a finger, there will definitely be someone that likes Your Majesty just the way you are.”

Although it was her first meeting that mage, the mage responded to her innermost thoughts as though he knew about everything.

“I’ll find a way. Just like how you saved me, I will also ensure that both of your feet will touch the ground once again.”

[……If you say that, it sounds as though such a day would definitely arrive.]

The mage turned his back on the Empress, who was lying on the bed beautifully and whispered to the soul by the window every day, eventually managing to awaken Sotis’ physical body…

“Tomorrow morning, we will declare our divorce. The reason for the divorce is your body’s poor condition, your soul’s instability, and your inability to carry on the family line.”

Through a single mage's utmost dedication, Empress Sotis was able to regain her body, but what she was faced with was the Emperor’s notice of divorce. <<less

A young princess, Dahlia of Bahran, encounters Hissin at the temple one day...

"You've learned so much in such a short time."

"It's only a simple step, Your Highness."
"Ah..."
"For this night, it will be just the two of us."

He kept leading Dahlia into forbidden territory...

"Only by falling into the filthiest and ugliest of places can I find favor with the Princess."
"Are you kidding me?"
"You don't like the filthy and hideous."

But to Dahlia, who was tormented by her divine powers, the touch of Hissin's hand was an irresistible poison that could soothe the pain.

More than a decade ago, in a conspiracy to overthrow the the leader of the Dutch underworld organization “The Red Room” (Chi Yu), his then 12-year-old illegitimate daughter Xuanyuan Ningxi, was secretly trafficked to a horrible and bloody killer training-base- “Rebirth Island” (Wangsheng Island)... more>>

On this isolated hell of an island, she met a man who changed her life – Xuan Siye who was 8 years her senior and is an instructor on the island. He has excellent ability but a violent temperament. However he only has a soft spot for her- treating her with special preference. Finally, when she was 16 years old, Xuan Siye forcibly already occupied her for a killing job.

Two years later, in order to break away from the control of the island base, the 18-year-old Ningxi made use of Xuan Siye to destroy it. She pierced his chest with a blade having the desperate, sad and indignant Xuan Siye fall into the deep sea.

After that, Ningxi left the Rebirth Island with her training partners Yuan Xu, Teng Jun and several others. They returned to the Netherlands to set up the “Shadow hall” (Ying Tang), to revive the power of the Xuanyuan’s family

Unexpectedly, four years later, “The Red Room” repeatedly received attacs from a secret organization from Asia, with the same modus as that of Xuan Siye therefore making it a battle of love and hate, a contest of blood and fire, and a subversion of schemes and conspiracies. Since then, her heroic picture of redemption and destruction started to unfold. <<less

A century and more ago, China was embroiled in turmoil and instability. Opium usage was rampant in the country. Foreign powers carved up China’s land into foreign-controlled concessions and leased out lands. The Qing Dynasty was on its last legs. Military warlords and cliques fought for power. People rose up to fight for change, some wanting reform and to institute a constitutional monarchy, some wanting a revolution, to completely change the political situation.... more>>

This is the backdrop of our story, which opens in the year 1911. It is truly a historical romance, with many references to historical events and people.

Shen Xi is a wanted criminal of the Qing Dynasty, not for any crime that she committed but because her father was charged as a reformist and punishment was doled out to the entire clan. She has been living hidden away in the dirtiest of places, until one day something happens and she is rescued by the Third Master of the House of Fu, Fu Tongwen. Third Master Fu, the romantic, suave young master known for his love of women and frivolity, whose wealth is countless, sends her abroad to study and guarantees the safety and well-being of the rest of her life. She thinks that the ties between the two of them are merely the letters she regularly posts to him and the replies he sends back, but one day he appears in the parlour of her townhouse in New York. During this time, her interaction with him increases until one day she abruptly makes the decision to return to China. In her travels and interaction with him, she learns that this man who on the outside appears to be (by a modern-day terms), a playboy in reality holds a heart for his country and its people and carries a longing to bring change—to see a China restored to splendour and prosperity.

The Third Master Fu of her first encounter with him was a rich, frivolous young lord who would reserve half of an entire venue for only the purpose of increasing the popularity of the entertainer he was fond of, a man who liked to sit with one ankle resting on the thigh of the other leg, his head tilted to the side to quietly converse with the wealthy young masters around him. In the glow of lamplight, the side view of his face exuded an air of dissolute suaveness. It was only later that she saw the real him: In the dim illumination, what he sat upon were actually piles of white skeletons and what he guarded were the vast, magnificent lands of the nation. <<less

"Do you know who broke my eyes?"
"......."
"A maid just like you."

A hand cupped her cheek, then passed over her chin and grabbed her neck. She coughed raggedly as her breathing was squeezed out.

"Do you even know how she broke them?"
"......."
"She poured poison into my eyes."

The pressure pressing down on her hand was heavy.

This is the weight of my sins. Even if I spend the rest of my life helping him, I will never be able to erase this karma.
