I Died 2,000 Years Ago: The Underworld Fears Me

Ren Wu died once. Two thousand years ago, he was the Imperial Chancellor who governed Hell itself—an Auditor who enforced cosmic law, taxed gods, and sentenced demons with a brushstroke. Then Heaven and Hell cooperated. He was assassinated before he could finish signing a decree meant to fix the cycle of reincarnation. Now, he has awakened in the body of a dying factory owner at the bottom of the modern Underworld. His wealth is his health. His business is survival. His enemies are corporations, gangs, ancient clans—and the government of Hell. While others cultivate to become immortal heroes, Ren Wu cultivates assets. He monopolizes supply chains. He weaponizes contracts. He turns gangs into employees. He turns ancient cultivation manuals into corrected instruction manuals. To Ren Wu, modern cultivators are not warriors. They are illiterate workers using corrupted translations of Hell’s employee handbooks. As Ren rebuilds his corporate empire, fragments of his sealed memories return… Why did his archaeologist parents send him an ancient coffin before vanishing? Why does the Administration desperately want him erased? Why does every ancient family’s sacred art trace back to Hell? To uncover the truth, Ren Wu must do what he does best: Acquire political shields. Build unions. Exploit loopholes. Rewrite laws. Because in this world… You don’t punch judges. You don’t sue gangsters. And you never fight the system. You become the system.

The Synaptic Schism

"I am not one person. I am a bridge of broken glass." To the world, Lin Yan is a hollow vessel—the "Idiot" son of a fallen dynasty, sold in marriage to the ruthless CEO Lu Jingho. For twenty years, he hasn't uttered a word, his skin recoiling from every touch as if it were a brand of fire. But inside the silent tomb of his mind, a war is screaming. When a fatal accident at age six tore his soul in two, one half stayed to rot in a world of shadows, while the other was cast into a neon-hell of the future. There, he was "The Architect," a legendary hacker forged in the fires of 21st-century torture and digital isolation. Now, the two souls have been slammed back together.Lin Yan has returned with the power to rewrite reality, but his mind is a jagged landscape of psychological trauma, where the ghosts of his future agony haunt his every breath. He thinks he is suffering in secret. He believes he is a ghost protecting his family from the shadows. He is wrong. Unbeknownst to him, the "Origin Code" in his blood is broadcasting his every heartbeat, every traumatic flashback, and every silent plea for help directly into the minds of the Lu family. As Lin Yan wages a cynical, invisible war against the "Ravens" who stole his father, Lu Jingho is forced to listen to the soul-shattering symphony of his husband's pain. In a world where his only comfort is the "Refrigerator"—the cold, steady presence of a husband he thinks he’s fooling—Lin Yan must face the ultimate terror: What happens when the man who cannot be touched finds out his whole world can hear his heart breaking?

Ultimate Track: The Champion Racer and the No.1 Mecha-Maiden

[TEASER] Other racers: “Every race is a grueling challenge, tense down to the very last second, paid for with sweat, blood, and tears.” Jawed: “Racing? Booooring! I’m too busy taking care of my wife at home. Those national and international titles I picked up? Just side stuff, nothing worth mentioning~” .... Other Mecha Humans: Training like maniacs on the track, minds filled only with speed, curves, and the burning desire to be champions. Halley: “Par.... partner, shall we bathe together later? Then.... tonight, let me give you a massage~” ..... [SYNOPSIS] This is the Quadrant Realm, a world where humans live alongside Mecha humans. Racing is the meaning of life, and the title of racer is the most prestigious honor of all. Racers fight side by side with their Mecha partners, striving toward the pinnacle of the world. For Jawed, once the number one moto rider in the world, being transmigrated into this world should have been a dream come true. Yet, having witnessed the filthy, corrupt sides of the racing industry, in this life he wants nothing more than to live an ordinary life, completely detached from the world of motors. Yet once he leaves the track behind, his life seems to lose all meaning. Everything fades into a dull gray, monotonous and hopeless. Just when it seems he would wither away in those empty days, on one heavy rainy night, he accidentally encounters a beautiful girl huddled in a narrow alleyway. Her eyes vacant, her body frail, her clothes torn and worn. She has no memories, no recollection of who she is. She only remembers that she is a Mecha human, and that deep within her heart burns an overwhelming desire: to lead her rider to become the world champion, and to become the greatest Mecha human of all. That seemingly chance encounter completely changes Jawed’s life. A new journey begins, a journey for a former champion to rediscover the joy of the racetrack, a journey of self-discovery for a Mecha girl, and a road toward conquering the world championship. The champion racer and the No.1 Mecha girl will crush all rivals!
