On the day of my wedding to Elliot Wendell, a fake heiress committed suicide. In the second year of our marriage, we ended up enemies. He hated me, the true heiress, for returning and causing Celeste Dent’s death. I hated him for loving the woman who had taken my place as an heiress for twenty years. During the ten years of our marriage, we fought each other with vicious words and wished for the other to die. Then, there was an earthquake, and he shielded me beneath him. He protected me with his back. The building collapsed, and he ended up a mangled and bloody corpse. As he lay dying, he whispered into my ear, “If I had known that she would die, I would’ve never taken you home.” “If we ever meet again, it would be better if I were your only family.” In the end, I still died in the secondary quakes. When I opened my eyes again, I found that I had gone back in time. It was the day when he brought me to the Dent family to regain my rightful place among them. Elliot suddenly changed his mind and said, “Samantha, I was wrong. You’re not the daughter the Dent family lost twenty years ago.”

I used to be so happy with my husband, Ian Shaw, until his first love got too drunk one day and was taken away by five strange men for an entire night. To protect her reputation, he told everyone that I was the one who was kidnapped that night. Everyone criticized me, calling the baby in my belly a child of shame. I questioned Ian hysterically, but he said nonchalantly, "Ruby isn’t married yet. People will laugh at her if the news spreads." I looked icily at the man I had loved for six years, shock taking over as I realized he had probably never loved me back.

Long long ago... A powerful vampire-witch prince and a royal lycan princess were fated to be mated. At first, the world was stunned. A union so impossible—so unnatural in the eyes of many. But as time passed, their love blossomed so deep into their very being. Against all odds, they made their bond eternal. Centuries later, they were blessed with a little daughter—Taishiri Nefferca. Just like her name, she was unique…incomparable. She was their whole universe. Their reason to exist. Until the day everything collapsed. The lycan princess was lost and the prince, in a desperate act of protection, gave his daughter away—to save her. *** On her 18th birthday, Neffie Hale was meant to reveal a secret she'd buried deep for the past two years. But she wasn’t ready. She didn’t know what would happen if she let it out… or what she’d become once it was no longer hidden. All her life, she’d been labeled a freak. An outcast. It didn’t matter that she had a completely normal twin. Or that she was the royalty. None of it mattered. And when it's time to unveil the secrets, it didn't go as planned. Not even close. Even if the secrets stayed buried—she paid the price. A price that nearly cost her everything… even her life. And just when she thought things couldn’t spiral further—another truth from her forgotten past broke the surface. She didn’t know what to believe anymore… Or where to run… Or who she truly was. But with a newly found mate, an overprotective father returned to her life, and a divine sister by her side—Neffie no longer felt like an outcast. She just didn’t know how to live in the light she’d never been allowed to touch.

Di sebuah desa kecil di kaki gunung pada galaksi terendah, lahir seorang bayi yang menggemparkan seluruh sembilan galaksi. Langit mendadak gelap, petir mengguncang jagat, dan seekor naga berkepala empat bermata dua belas muncul, hanya untuk lenyap masuk ke tubuh bayi itu. Fenomena itu membuat para penguasa galaksi tertinggi gemetar ketakutan—karena bayi itu terlahir dengan garis darah ilahi yang tak tertandingi. Bayi itu bernama Qin Shan, putra dari sepasang kultivator hebat yang bersembunyi dari musuh klan mereka. Namun, takdir Qin Shan berbeda dari siapapun. Ia memiliki empat garis darah ilahi—Naga Petir, Matahari, Bulan, dan Bintang—dan empat dantian sejak lahir. Segel darahnya membuatnya tampak biasa di mata orang lain, sampai suatu hari ia menemukan harta peninggalan pendekar kuno. Di situlah ia mendapatkan dua warisan yang akan mengubah hidupnya: Kultivasi Semesta, teknik misterius yang bisa menyedot energi dari segala arah. Kultivasi Fisik Dewa Perang, jalan keras untuk menempa tubuh menjadi wadah yang tak tergoyahkan. Namun kekuatan besar datang dengan harga besar. Untuk melangkah satu tingkat kecil saja, Qin Shan membutuhkan lima kali lebih banyak sumber daya daripada kultivator biasa. Apa yang bagi orang lain cukup untuk satu sekte besar, baginya hanyalah langkah kecil. Qin Shan tak gentar. Dengan Batu Teratai Ilahi yang menyatu dengan tubuhnya—sebuah dunia mini yang bisa ditinggali manusia, ditanami herbal, dan kelak menjadi surga kultivasi—ia mulai menapaki jalan penuh darah dan pengorbanan. Musuh-musuh yang tamak datang satu per satu. Dari perantau hina, sekte kecil, hingga penguasa galaksi. Namun di tiap pertarungan, Qin Shan bukan hanya berjuang untuk bertahan, tapi juga menguat, melampaui batas, dan menorehkan jalannya sendiri. Dari galaksi terendah, ia akan menantang langit, menembus sembilan galaksi, dan melangkah ke dunia surgawi, dunia Dao, hingga dunia Tao. Dengan empat garis darah ilahi, tubuh surgawi, mata ilahi, dan tekad baja—nama Qin Shan akan mengguncang semua dunia.
