Humans? A low-level world? No cultivators or gods? Can the world be trampled on like ants by the strongmen of the upper realms?

Can Long Chen maintain his goal, or will he once again fall into the same temptation as the Black Dragon? "I live for myself, destiny? Fate cannot stop me!

Pour Isabelle, ce jour devait être le plus beau. Mais il est devenu le pire, celui qui a basculé son monde. La trahison de son fiancé a brisé son cœur alors qu’il venait à peine de lui jurer un amour éternel. Cette blessure fut si profonde qu’elle faillit l’emporter, la contraignant à disparaître, à changer d’identité et à vivre loin de tout, même de son bien-aimé Clément. Quatre ans plus tard, celle qui se fait désormais appeler Rachelle revient, animée par une seule obsession : se venger de celui qui est responsable de son sort. Mais son plan prend une tournure inattendue dès son retour lorsqu’elle croise le chemin de Clément. À sa stupéfaction, il la reconnaît instantanément, refusant de croire à sa nouvelle vie. « Même si tu reviens avec une autre identité, je sais que tu m’aimes toujours », dit Clément d’un ton amusé en la serrant fort dans ses bras. « Lâchez-moi, monsieur. Je m’appelle Rachelle, et non Isabelle », rétorque-t-elle, furieuse, en essayant de se dégager. « Je t’ai toujours mieux connue que toi-même. Que ces quelques années loin de moi ne te trompent pas : tu es mon Isabelle, l’amour de ma vie », insiste-t-il en resserrant son étreinte. « Plus jamais je ne te laisserai partir. Tu es à moi, et à moi seul. » Tiraillée entre sa soif de vengeance et les sentiments tumultueux que sa présence réveille, Rachelle/Isabelle se retrouve à un carrefour. Parviendra-t-elle à mener à bien sa revanche, ou l’emprise persistante de Clément et le passé qu’ils ont partagé auront-ils raison de sa colère ? Son retour marquera-t-il la fin de leur histoire d’amour, ou le début d’un nouveau chapitre, forgé dans le pardon ou la destruction ?

My boss had a new boyfriend called Eugene Larson. The first day he came to the office, he put on a great show of exerting his dominance. He deleted my number from my boss's phone right in front of me. Eugene waved his phone in front of me while playing innocently. "You can talk to me about anything you need to communicate to Tina, Mr. Sanders. I'll help you pass the message to her. I don't have much sense of security, so please don't mind this. It's to avoid any misunderstanding between us." I was hoping my boss, Tina Kayden, would be able to say something fair on my behalf, but all she did was stare at Eugene approvingly and adoringly throughout the conversation. She turned to me and said, "This is a pretty good plan, Mr. Sanders. Do take good care of Eugene from now on." As there was no way for me to reject her, I was forced to add Eugene's contact to my phone. However, the moment he had my number, he flooded my phone with messages. [Mr. Sanders, is the client you're meeting tomorrow with the surname Charleston a man or a woman?] [Where are you having the meeting tomorrow? Wear something casual tomorrow. It would be best if you avoid washing your face and hair. Otherwise, I would think you're trying to seduce my wife.] [I believe your relationship with Tina is innocent. You're not allowed to betray me because I'm treating you like my buddy!] [By the way, you have an extra duty from now on. You need to remind Tina every 30 minutes to send me a message telling me that she loves me.] As I read these ridiculous messages, I laughed in anger. I put my phone on silent mode and flung it to the side before going to bed. The next morning, I woke up to dozens of missed calls on my phone.

"This year, there's only one spot available–and I fought hard to secure it for you. "If things don't work out with Baron Cole, I'll talk to him. You two have a strong relationship. Waiting a few years won't matter." As I stared at the application form my professor handed me, my hands would not stop trembling. In my previous life, I spent forty years married to Baron. We raised a son and a daughter. I thought that was what a complete, fulfilled life looked like. However, after he died, while sorting through his belongings, I found a box filled with letters and photographs. That was when I learned the truth–he had always loved someone else. She was his first love… and the biological daughter of the family that raised me. Back in 1984, he hid my study-abroad application, giving the opportunity to her instead. From that moment on, I became a housewife. And he devoted himself to helping the woman he loved rise–until she returned from overseas as a celebrated professor. Even my own son later turned their story into a drama, glorifying their restrained, enduring love. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day I first received that application form. This time, I did not hesitate. "Professor, I'm going abroad."
