--- I translated this novel as a tribute to the amazing novelist “Qiong Yao” by Hellowyellow. In 1986, the novel was adapted into a Taiwanese romantic drama called Many Enchanting Nights. The drama was directed by Liu Lili and also starred famous Hong Kong actress Liu Xue Hua, Taiwanese actor Chin Han, and Lee Tien Chu. Hellowyellow comment about the story: 5-10 out of 100 people must have experienced something like this. Maybe everyone who has experienced it has almost the same story framework even though not all the details are the same... When old wounds are almost healed by time, life gives a test by sending acid rain on the wounds, which ultimately destroys faith and belief... Cruel?? regret? sad? hate?? When the body can no longer withstand the torture, the heart becomes cold and dead, hopes and dreams are destroyed by the cruelty of reality... Then, where should this self go?? To whom should this heart complain? And to whom is this hope anchored? ---- Sigh, but life is always like that.

If you''''re new to the story, I''''d recommend reading the first 3 and then skip to the rewrites as the old versions will only remain here for those who might be already reading them and I don''''t want to delete the chapters and cut them off their progress.) This story follows the two titular characters as they develop as individuals together. When they first meet right before an exam to graduate into high school, Violet doesn''''t quite know what to think of Abby, but once they are reunited at the same class, Abby dives right in and offers to be her friend. With that, Violet, who''''s introverted, worrywart and the target of Abby''''s teasing, now has to learn how to be a friend, while Abby, who''''s extroverted, seemingly with no filter, has to deal with her own hidden issues. Their story is one of opposites attracting, learning about oneself, to let others in, and of letting go.

Jiang Shuyi lived for fifteen years basking in imperial favor. As the emperor’s most beloved consort, she enjoyed a life of luxury and affection, envied by all and unmatched within the harem. The emperor treated her like a precious jewel, gentle and indulgent. However, beneath this golden dream lay a fatal blindness. She failed to see through her seemingly demure younger sister, never suspecting the wolf beneath the surface. In the end, it was her own kin who exposed her alleged crimes. Her carefully constructed world crumbled, and even her cherished son turned cold, sneering, “If only I had been born of Aunt instead.” Branded a seductive enchantress, Jiang Shuyi became the shame of the court. Yet, amid the whispers and condemnation, only one man stood by her—the emperor. He locked her away, not in punishment, but out of possessive devotion. Every night, he came to her side, unable to let go. Beneath the gauzy curtains, his hand traced the contours of her tear-stained face, his voice low and tender—a prison made of longing, a love that refused to die, and a second chance to rewrite fate.

What if the universe played a joke on itself… and the punchline was you? Thales awakens with memories he was never supposed to keep—in a world where time is a story, language is a cage, and gods are bound by silence. As a newborn with ancient thoughts, he questions the rules before he can walk, deconstructs fate before he can speak, and seeks The Mystery before he''''s ever told the world has meaning. This is not a tale of chosen ones or grand battles. This is the introspection of a child too aware, too early—of a mind that fractures reality just by thinking in it. IOUL is a mythic-philosophical epic disguised as a reincarnation tale—an odyssey into memory, myth, and the logic beneath stories themselves.

Through these stories—each one a mirror to her past and emotions—Elara is slowly drawn into a quiet bond with the machine she once resented. As A-013, later known as Astreus, fades, Elara is forced to confront the cost of progress, the meaning of creation, and what it means to truly be understood.

It was dreamt that a world under the protection of the Blossoms - magical girls blessed by light and tasked with great purpose - would be a world that knows only peace, where sorrow was no more than a distant memory. They truly believed that, thousands of years ago. But as long as there is darkness, there shall be Blossoms to face it; or could it be that as long as there are Blossoms, darkness will rise again and again? Such questions do not yet trouble the innocent minds of the initiates of the year of 1878, concerned instead with completing their training to join the ranks of the Blossoms safeguarding the world. These girls, weaned on stories of magic and wonder, long to walk the hallowed paths of their predecessors. Calamity, however, cares little for the petty plans and hopes of humanity. In the wake of tragedy, they are left with no alternative but to bloom from mere buds to Blossoms forced to bear the weight of the world on their backs. With their training so abruptly interrupted and left to fend for themselves, untested as they are, they shall have no choice but to find their own way in a changed world, with no one to take their hand and teach them how to be heroines that will be so desperately needed. If such a thing could ever even be taught in the first place, that is.

Emotionally-scarred Riley is sent to live with his cousin Morgana the Alchemist for the summer before starting university. His life is headed nowhere, but having a girlfriend would at least give him an emotional anchor. The hot goth girl next door immediately sets his heart on fire, but Morgana''''s "compatibility test" is absolutely certain that she''''s a lesbian, and Riley''''s attempt at flirting with her went down like a plane crash anyway. Morgana needs a breakthrough that will put her name on the map and secure her long-term career as an alchemist. She hoped that her cousin moving in would be a pleasant distraction, give her the sibling relationship she never had growing up. Instead, Riley is a menace who doesn''''t respect her or her living space. If only he''''d been a girl instead, they would have gotten along swimmingly. Convincing Riley that Lynn would date him if he was a girl is easy enough, but while he accepts Morgana''''s experimental potions willingly, he drags his feet on doing more than the bare minimum. And while new friends and neighbors are easily convinced, wooing Lynn into giving Riley a chance is going to take patience. With only a few months before university takes over her life, Riley needs to figure out if being a girl is right for her, girlfriend or no girlfriend... while the people she trusts pull her strings in directions that may tear her apart.

The members are all witches, and they investigate hauntings, werewolf sightings, magical phenomena, and other weird stuff like that. You probably think that''''s all make-believe or fantasy? I used to think that too, until one afternoon when I stumbled into one of their secret meetings and accidentally joined Club Luna.

One day, upon dying, Jun was a soul who was suddenly captured by the villain system. Every world she lived a tragic life. Every ending was the same. Unlike many others who obeyed quietly under the system’s order, or to seek a quick death, Jun never stopped retaliating against her fate.

However, after “countless” deaths, Jun remained firm in herself, and only she knew her maliciousness grew stronger and deeper. But Jun was not afraid.

Eventually, I will reclaim what’s rightfully mine.” Even if it takes everything that I need to get what I want. ... Current Schedule: Sporadic updates - I post whenever possible.

Long ago, Rhodanthe, the breathtaking queen of Corinth, was cursed by the gods for a beauty that inspired obsession and blasphemy. Pursued by relentless suitors, she sought sanctuary in the temple of Artemis—only for her admirers to defile the sacred space in her name. In divine wrath, Apollo transformed them all: the men into crawling creatures, and Rhodanthe into a rose, doomed to bloom in silence for a century. But fate is never kind nor finished. When the blood of the goddess Aphrodite—shed in grief over the death of her beloved Adonis—dripped upon Rhodanthe’s petals, something ancient stirred within her. For the first time in a hundred years, she felt. In her silent agony, she prayed not for life, but for release. Persephone, still grieving and bitter from Aphrodite’s theft of Adonis, answered the call—but not with mercy. Rhodanthe and her cursed suitors were reborn as undead: beautiful, eternal, and damned. Vampires, forged not by darkness but by divine betrayal.
