The Blasphemous Way

Beyond life and death. Beyond heaven and earth. Beyond suffering itself — lies the only truth worth seeking.” On the day the heavens bled, Li Qiong stood alone against the world. Surrounded by thousands of immortals — righteous sects, divine patriarchs, sword saints — he stood atop Blackpine Sky Ridge, bloodied yet unbowed. His cultivation was in shambles. His body was broken. His soul burned away like a candle. And yet… he laughed. For he had already seen through it all. Li Qiong was no villain, no hero, no martyr. He was a seeker. A sage. A man who had walked farther than any other on the endless path — and glimpsed a truth so vast, so profound, that even the heavens themselves feared it. While others cultivated for power, for status, for petty notions of righteousness or vengeance… Li Qiong pursued one thing, and one thing only: True immortality. The door beyond. The answer to life, to death, to suffering itself. For centuries he endured in silence. Patient. Persistent. He bled, and knelt, and climbed — each step closer to the ultimate truth. Until the day came when even heaven itself tried to stop him. And he smiled, because he understood: To sever heaven is not to rebel. It is to to be free. But his story did not end with his fall. When the heavens burned and his body turned to ash, his eyes opened once more — in the body of his younger self, before it all began. Armed with the wisdom of countless lifetimes and the unyielding Will of a sage, he takes the path again — this time not merely to climb beyond heaven… but to tear open the final door, and step through. Even the heavens cannot shackle one who has already broken free.

Bound by Dragonfire, Crowned by Fate: A Slum Girl's Forbidden Contract

Little thief, you called me." You'll pay for it with your soul now." Serina is a slum rat with almost no magical power in a world where magical rank is everything. She is watching her little brother die from a curse that no doctor can fix. She breaks into the banned Dragon's Shrine to ask for a miracle because she is desperate and has no other choice. She wakes him up instead. It was said that a legendary beast named Kaelion almost destroyed the land a thousand years ago. The monster that every kid dreams about. Serina now shares her life force with the most dangerous being in the world because of an old blood contract she accidentally set off. But the dragon that appears in front of her is not the dumb monster from the stories. He's devastatingly beautiful, infuriatingly arrogant, and hiding secrets that could shatter everything she knows about magic, power, and her own impossible family. As the contract forces them into an intimate bond, Serina discovers three terrifying truths: the magical elite who rule her world built their empire on lies and dragon blood; her "worthless" magic is actually a forbidden power they've been hunting for generations; and Kaelion isn't the villain of the story—he's been the prisoner all along. Serina has to make a terrible choice when the Grand Magister who cursed her brother comes to take her head and the dragon she's tied to. She can either stay the helpless nobody she's always been, or she can accept the terrible truth of what she is. The slums taught her to live. The dragon will teach her to burn the world down and rise from the ashes.
