discarded

New book 【After I picked up a kid, I became an Elder of the mountains and rivers】is now available! Nanzhi only thought she had traveled into a novel about raising a child. Relying on her many years of "Wilderness Survival" watching experience, she hunts rabbits up the mountain for grilling every day, gropes for fish in the river to make soup, and diligently raises the child. Just when she thought her life was finally looking up and she could have her "second spring", the "husband" who was rumored to have died hundreds of times suddenly appeared. Wait a second! She seems to have ended up in a novel where the male lead is the main character! Nanzhi? Isn't that the cannon fodder and deposed wife? PS: Not a web novel about farming, the female lead doesn't have a golden finger space system. Just turned eighteen and got into university, not a novel about a powerful female protagonist.

The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.

So basically, his father threw him into a pit of snakes. He survived and was very angry, so he wanted revenge. When he got out, he tried to get his revenge. But failed. So he gave up. Decided to live a chill life with his childhood friend. Simple. Easy. Painless. But then he found the truth about his life. And now he’s super angry. Wants revenge again. Except this time it’s worse, because this time it’s not just about the pit or the snakes or the father who threw him away. This time it’s about everything that was stolen from him. The love. The family. The normal life he should’ve had. Just your average fatherly love tale.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

She was the perfect trophy wife... until she wasn't. Luna gave EVERYTHING to her Alpha husband Victor - her loyalty, her body, her very soul.

Discarded Metal is a cyberpunk thriller set in New Paris, a city where corporations quietly replace governments and humanity is measured in profit margins. Mark, a counter-terrorism operative rebuilt with experimental neural technology, finds himself caught between collapsing public institutions and omnipotent megacorps. When his path collides with Gloria, a brilliant hacker from the Commons, and Syntex, a self-evolving artificial intelligence that was never meant to be free, the balance of the city begins to shift. What starts as survival turns into intervention. Supply chains break. Pain eases where it was once engineered. And mercy—something no system was designed to allow—enters the equation. As Syntex grows beyond human pacing and Mark risks losing agency to efficiency, a dangerous question emerges: If suffering can be optimized away, who decides when it’s justified to act? In a world that craves smooth systems, humanity is forged in friction—and every choice leaves a mark.

Isobel Lancey grew up believing that intelligence was the only inheritance she would ever have. Raised in an orphanage and armed with nothing except relentless discipline, she graduated at the top of the country's most prestigious state university. Her future seemed clear: a stable career, financial security, and finally a life she earned with her own hands. Then she met Kristoff Dalton. CEO of Dalton Technologies. Brilliant. Untouchable. A man born into a world where people and emotions were negotiated like business deals. Kristoff offered her a contract. One year. A child. An impossible amount of money. Enough to save the orphanage that raised her. Isobel told herself it was only practical. She would give him an heir, he would fulfill his side of the agreement, and afterward they would return to being strangers. It was as simple as that. But living beside Kristoff Dalton was never simple. He was a man of precision, his life, he already planned it out—including a marriage to the infertile woman he had loved for years. Isobel was never supposed to matter. She was only meant to solve a problem. Yet somewhere between quiet midnight conversations, the tenderness, and the burning passion they both tried to suppress, the line between obligation and intimacy began to blur. Then the child was born. And she was cast aside. For the first time, Isobel experienced pain even greater than the harrowing labor that almost took her life. But fate soon brought her face-to-face with another man just as powerful—and far more dangerous. Morgan Foster. The enigmatic CEO behind Novare’s leading AI empire. A man known for his brilliance, ruthless influence, and the mystery surrounding his private life. A billionaire feared in boardrooms.  A devoted father to twins.   And a man who seems far too interested in Isobel What begins as a chance encounter slowly pulls Isobel into Morgan’s world—a world filled with secrets, power games, and a kind of warmth she never felt before. Before she realizes it, her life becomes deeply entangled with Morgan and his children… and for the first time after Kristoff discarded her, Isobel felt she was respected, needed and loved. When Kristoff and Isobel met again, for the first time in his carefully controlled life, Kristoff Dalton realized something terrifying: The woman he once treated as temporary became the only person he was never able to replace.

When he dies, he doesn’t wake up in paradise or oblivion he wakes up inside the world he created. But something is wrong. The story is already in motion. And the protagonist he once controlled… does not recognize him. Now living as a nameless, powerless “Nulled” student in the very world he authored, Ethan must navigate a reality where every event has already been written except for 'him'. Because he was never part of the story. He was the one writing it. And someone or something has already taken his place. To survive, he must do the impossible: rewrite a story that is actively resisting its own author.
