*****

Su Licheng, the Crown Prince of the Su Empire, lives in a place that is difficult to reach. It has been seven years since anyone has seen Su Licheng. Thus, everyone calls him the Shadow Prince.

But is it the only reason to call him the Shadow Prince?

The Emperor, Su Zhenji, wants to bring Su Licheng back to the capital but has always failed in his attempts.

However, when one day the Princess of the neighboring kingdom, Yu Xiana, comes to the Emperor for his help in the great war, he offers his help to Yu Xiana on the condition that she will bring his son back to the capital.

Carrying a sword in her hand Yu Xiana entered the shadow city to defeat the five martial warriors before finally meeting Su Licheng.

~~~~~~~

"This marriage will not happen today," Su Licheng's voice roared as he ground the sword on the wooden floor, thus fearing everyone in the marriage hall.

Yu Xiana, who was in her bridal attire, moved her veil away. "Prince Licheng isn't supposed to do this on my wedding day," she stated.

"Did you forget your promise to me, Xiana?" Su Licheng arched his eyebrow and took slow steps toward her.

Yu Xiana frowned as he halted before her.

The next second, he pulled her up by her waist, shocking everyone in the bridal hall.

"You need to serve me all your life, Xiana," Su Licheng said while smirking.

~~~~~~~

The story has a rebirth plot. Su Licheng and Yu Xiana, the story's main protagonists, are connected by their past lives.

'I advance.'... more>>

That was the fundamental truth that Xiao Lee's cultivation was built upon. Never stopping and always cultivating was what made him the youngest Great Lord in history.

Yet it was not without sacrifice.

Friends who will not advance further have to be left behind. The strong rule, after all.

And then he ascended.

In a heaven that is beyond his wildest imagination; with wonderful technology and an impossible civilisation, maybe, in this new world where strength isn't everything, perhaps he can finally forge lasting friendships.

A tale of friendship, identity, and a young man who is determined to become an unparalleled (influencer) cultivator.

What to expect:

MC is at the peak of his world when the story starts but is at the bottom of the new world.

Ambitious and driven MC who doesn't want to leave his friends behind again.

Character growth both for the MC and the side characters.

Vast world with ridiculous power scaling.

No harem or romance.

Book 1 - JiangXi (complete)

Molam longs to return home after successfully stealing from the Empire. But the enigmatic Oracle dangles it just out of reach, assigning him another task: to steal wood from the sacred World Tree from the Empire.

The task sends Molam to an Empire city on the brink of collapse, its inhabitants desperate to survive the impending Winter's Sorrow. United with a group of allies handpicked by the Oracle, Molam realizes he is the Oracle's last piece in a decades-long plan to thwart the Empire's relentless ambition to reach Heaven.

Entering the fray comes with lurking enemies, mistrust among allies, and lethal scrutiny from all sides. Continually at risk of having his lack of aura exposed, Molam relies on his wits to navigate powerful individuals with misdirection and a facade of powers. To obtain the group's help and trust, he must balance his new responsibilities against his deeper, more personal goals.

There is no synopsis for Book 2 going forward to avoid spoilers.

"I hurt, human children."
"I can take it from ye, if ye want."
"You cannot. He took them, and crushed them into blood. Take my hurt, you say? But it is all I have left of them."
Healer Yuen Sou Yuet has somehow found themselves saddled with a travelling companion, a gender-shifting, trouble-making necromancer. They're stuck with each other - Sou Yuet must undergo a trial to prove their worthiness as successor to the Yuen Mei School of Healing, whilst the necromancer essentially requires a parole officer after committing multiple crimes and continuously escaping imprisonment. 
And so the unlikely duo travel from country to country, investigating the disappearance of legendary creatures across the world. The farther they go, the closer to home some of their revelations are.

Beneath a sprawling multicolored tree, five mighty figures engage in an apocalyptic showdown, spreading waves of death and destruction across the ancient realm.... more>>

Seven fruits, each shimmering with a unique color, dangle tantalizingly from the tree. One figure, in a desperate gamble, sacrifices their life to wield an overwhelming force, momentarily paralyzing their rivals. Without hesitation, they seize the golden fruit, propelling the other six into the endless void of the cosmos and drawing the ire of their opponents.

With a maddening laugh, they self-destruct, decimating the once-scared realm and the ancient tree. Amidst the settling chaos and the vestiges of their deranged laughter still hanging in the air, the remaining adversaries scramble only to realize the disappearance of their crazy foe.

Eons pass, and the legend of the laughing lunatic fades to whispers, leading the four remaining hegemons to suspect their opponent's demise amidst lingering doubts and regrets.

Yet, in a twist of fate, a peculiar yellowish stone, resembling a unique fruit, emerges in the grasp of an unsuspecting tourist in China. <<less

"Looks like Mc is gonna die at this rate." The reader said to himself.
Mc in question is right now facing an opponent who can kill him by just one move.
When the opponent is about to kill Mc with a punch,
Boom!
Lightning fell out of the sky, killing the protagonist's enemy and saving him.
"What?" The reader is shocked. Mc has plot armour; this is a known fact, but not this much.

Mc is facing a Monster who is one major realm higher than him, which means he will die from just one hit.
When Mc is about to die from Monster's hit, a random guy who was sealed below the mountain... more>> gets unsealed and kills Monster, protecting Mc.
"What?" The reader is annoyed again.
"Once, twice........Hundredth...." The reader said to himself, annoyed that even with just one ten thousand of his plot armor, he would have finished the entire plot.

"Would you like to be the Mc then?" A white shadow asked the reader who just read the entire "Heavenly Supreme Tyrant" novel and wanted to curse the author due to its sad ending.
"Yes." The reader agrees to take the place of the protagonist in the "Heavenly Supreme Tyrant" but he doesn't get the plot amour.
Now, the reader is the protagonist of the novel but has no plot amour and has only plot knowledge.
Let's watch the journey of reader 'Rahul' as the protagonist in "Heavenly Supreme Tyrant"!

I always wanted to rewrite Boruto but with a little bit of Xian Xia mixed in. I wanna explore stuff like the eight gates and the Rinnegan. I wanna see what immortality could mean for Naruto characters. Note that I will not make any Shinobi in the story some kind of immortal, just look at what it might mean, sort of like with Orochimaru.... more>>

To me Naruto should have been promoted to Chunin when he came back after the bell test. He should have been studying how to be a proper Chunin on the Tenji bridge arc clashing with Sy along the way. He should have been promoted to Special Jonin after defeating Kakazu. He should have been promoted to Jonin after defeating Pain. Tsunade should have promised him the seat of Hokage after his clone's showing against Madara, when the Kage were going up against Madara. And Finally it should have ended with Naruto being the youngest Hokage of all time.

Zabusa lost because he underestimated Naruto and Sasuke's will to fight. And even though I dislike the ending, Madara Uchiha lost because he mistook someone else's will for his own. 

Tsunade's will of fire. Might Guy's willingness to die for the future generation. Obito's will being weakened by the life he could have lived resulting in his loss. Everything was about will. <<less

"It's The Jade Exorcist!"
"He's really come to save us!"
Who is the Jade Exorcist now?
Sek Gon really has no idea what everyone is talking about. He's just going for a stroll through the countryside and everyone is grabbing his sleeves and babbling about him being some Jade Exorcist who will save them all from the demons terrorising Sek'syun Country.
As if this isn't annoying enough, he picks up two stray dogs - a creepy woman who tries to kill him any opportunity she can get, and an overly enthusiastic young man who wants to be a white knight.
Can't I get some peace around here???

Two complex heroes and their troubled friendship, challenged by the cruel world and internal struggles.
Be prepared for main characters being flawed and sometimes irritating, I am not looking to write another self-insert power fantasy. At the same time, I hope the characters will be relatable.... more>>

I am still writing, don't worry! I already wrote 25 chapters, I just want to finish book one before I publish.

Monsters, both human and beast, surrounded him. He needed power to survive this new world... but he arrived as a mortal.... more>>

One moment William was at work. The next, he was captured by lunatics.

He had never believed in the fantastical, but he had no choice after finding himself in another world surrounded by demonic cultivators trying to extract his soul. If he couldn't find an escape, his journey would end just as abruptly as it started.

William was inches from death when a benevolent cultivator saved him from that fate. Seeing his pitiful state, the cultivator decided to give him an opportunity in the form of a tool: A system to guide him on the path of cultivation.

William would use it to claw his way to the peak of the cultivation world. <<less

I got reborn as a demonic cultivator… in a righteous sect.... more>>

As a sect elder, I must dodge being killed due to the decisions of this body’s previous owner, navigate a life full of political minefields, and maybe even teach some arrogant young masters a lesson—all while desperately hoping this body’s dangerous secrets don’t catch up with me.

After all, not everyone is content to let go of old grievances… But hey, at least I’m good with formations—and I can just throw them at problems.

This story was inspired by [A Sect Elder’s Journey]. I’m a huge fan of the novel—and given that it went on hiatus, I just couldn’t stop myself from writing something similar to satiate my hunger (I tried resisting, mind you). Anyhow, please do not compare this stone to that diamond, as I’m writing this merely for some good old fun. Regardless, I will try my best, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I have fun making it! <<less

When did the sect that is well known for its impartiality and righteousness stoop so low as to accept such a trashy disciple ?

Tormented by such scorching gazes, Wei Ying has no choice but to use his other identity to settle this problem.
