Fallen Actress' Comeback: Torn Between the Director and the Mafia Lord

MATURE CONTENT, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! (18+) From rising star to Hollywood’s favourite disgrace. Three years ago, rising actress Xena Winter watched her entire world and a breakout role in a film by Hollywood’s most sought-after director, Xade Michael, implode when a sex tape surfaced, shattering her world.  No one knew the truth: the masked man in the video was Xade himself—drugged, unaware, and just as much a victim. That night cost them both everything… and left Xena with a secret he never knew existed—a daughter. Now, living under a false name and struggling to survive, Xena will do anything to protect her little girl. When a desperate bid for quick cash lands her in the middle of a drug setup, she barely escapes a police sting—only to crash into an audition for a film directed by the one man she swore never to face again. Xade doesn’t recognize her behind the dyed hair and green eyes, but something about her pulls at buried memories. One electrifying audition later, he casts her as his lead—unaware their shared past is about to explode. Meanwhile, Xavier Xander, ruthless head of the Alexander mafia family, learns Xena’s name is tied to his missing cocaine shipment. Expecting a rival, he instead finds the fiery woman who visits his secret bakery—the one he can’t stop thinking about. Caught between two powerful men, hunted by her past, and desperate to protect her child, Xena must uncover the truth before it destroys them all. Because the night that ruined her… also bound her heart to both of them—in scandal, sin, and unforgotten desire.

Arknights: Becoming Their Guiding Spirit

Lu Ling crossed over into Terra, but not completely. His soul was inexplicably locked within a long-damaged statue outside the civilized world of Terra. To manifest a physical body and gain his own form, he must continuously obtain the power of prayers and wishes. But the statue is in a barren, uninhabited land! There isn't a single person, let alone any prayers or wishes. And so, Lu Ling had no choice but to disperse his consciousness onto numerous items, scattering them across the world to be found by the many young women of Terra. In order to manifest his body, and to get close to these women, Lu Ling inexplicably became their "Golden Finger"—a wise, guiding mentor... Jessica: "Mr. Lu Ling, you'll always be by my side, right?" Lu Ling: "Ah, that's right, that's right." Sora: "Mr. Lu Ling, can you be my manager forever?" Lu Ling: "Of course, of course..." Lu Ling didn't know how many times he had made such promises. Until the day the women met each other..... **Translator’s Note** * Translation of 《方舟,被迫成为她们的背后灵》. * Lu Ling → Lucas Reeve. *This was written before a bunch of the big Arknights lore drops, so the Terra in here—its groups, dangers, and whatever else—follows a sort of half-invented, author-specific story that doesn’t exactly line up with anything official, especially once the later chapters start doing whatever they think they’re doing. Anyone expecting the later characters, factions, or galaxy-sized threats may find the scale drifting.

Mirror in the Dust

In the 170th year of Yong’an of the Great Wei Dynasty, a secret scandal broke out within a princely household, one that shook both the imperial court and the immortal sects alike. The only son of the Northern Garrison Prince, infamous throughout the realm as utterly worthless and rotten to the core, was in truth the lowly son of a stable slave, switched at birth years ago by the Demonic Sect. The real heir, meanwhile, turned out to be a true disciple of a Sage, newly appointed top Scholar, having already cultivated a breath of Righteous Qi of the Vast Heavens. For a time, all of Great Wei erupted in jubilation. People everywhere congratulated the princely household on rectifying the origin and returning to the source, on finally recovering their qilin-born prodigy. ....... “Yeah, it really is worth celebrating, if only this so-called fake heir weren’t me.” Gu Fangchen faced the Northern Garrison Prince and the true heir who had come to confront him, then glanced at the randomly assigned profession hovering above his head: [Emperor (1 day)] [Skill One: Mandate of Heaven (Passive)] [Skill Two: Power of Life and Death (Active)] That year, the Northern Garrison Princess Consort was still gentle as water, doting on her child to the point of indulgence. The Eldest Princess was cold as frost, proud and aloof, a single smile worth a fortune. The Younger Princess was sweet, foolishly adorable, obsessed with heroic young knights, and most of all despised shameless villains. The Grand Princess struck fear across battlefields as a peerless war god. The female State Preceptor could overturn clouds and rain with a mere turn of her hand. The moment Gu Fangchen opened his eyes, he knew it: He had transmigrated to become an emperor. Those who follow me shall prosper. Those who oppose me shall perish.

Dual Cultivation: Gathering SSS-Rank Wives in the Cultivation World

« MATURE CONTENT » I was supposed to check my stats. Instead, I checked my sins. One scroll through the system notifications and I realized I’d made the dumbest, hottest, most catastrophic mistake in cultivation history: [Heir Conception Confirmed: All three blessed wives have been Impregnanted.] [Gestation: 3 months. Offspring inherit 50% divine bloodline + maternal elemental affinities.] [Legacy Skill Unlocked: Imperial Seed – Children born at Core Formation minimum. Twins/Triplets chance +70%.] Translation? I bred the maid who poisoned me, the archer who swore she’d never kneel, and the ice queen who hadn’t even been kissed… in one night. Now they’re all carrying little demigods—and Heaven just flagged me as Calamity Incarnate. I wanted a quiet moment to breathe. Heaven handed me a countdown. 3… 2… 1… The sky split like a bad promise. Tribulation clouds boiled over the horizon, rings within rings, and every ring had my name carved into it. Lightning didn’t just flash—it wrote scripture across the firmament, every stroke a sentence: Zhao Tianlong, Calamity Incarnate. And behind me, three heartbeats answered in perfect sync. "Husband, stand back; you should save your energy to fight us in bed..." I glanced at the notifications again, just to suffer. [Heaven’s Will: Surveillance Active. Concealment: Impossible.] [Designation: Catastrophe-Grade Variable. Tribulation: Immediate.] [Bonus Condition Detected: Three Heroines Pregnant. Difficulty Multiplier: x10.] [Note: Heaven disapproves of speedrunning destiny via breeding.] "H-husband, why is the sky thundering..." "The clouds seem to be darkening with concentrated Qi." "It's like it is spreading across the land to take you on, Tianlong." I almost laughed. Almost. My naive wives, they can’t see how the clouds look beautiful, like a beautiful woman. "Hah… I make fountains out of heavenly beauties with my thing," I spat, a chuckle forming while getting disgusted, cute, lovely glares from my heavenly wives. "So if even Heaven itself dares to spread her legs at me, all she’ll do is scream louder," I said, lifting my middle finger towards the sky with a grin that almost ruined my hot husband image in front of my wives. "Tch, perverted bastard... I will just fight." "Ahem, yes, standing beside him might corrupt me." "H-husband... I-I will go fight too... you are embarrassing me..." They stepped beside me—left, right, and one half a pace ahead. Unaware that their sway of hips and jiggles of melons were too distracting. "...." I could only look at three of my beauties, thinking how they are different than last night, but again it appears I might have to corrupt them more. "So, shall we begin the journey of Dual Cultivation?" No NTR, No Yuri
