***This is my original work, and if anyone decides to steal it and post it anywhere else without specific permission, I will not hesitate to take legal action against you!!!!*** A girl to take home to one's mother with no fear of sharp disapproval. Sure, she was plain and dull, but she was the sort one could settle down with in a few years after the sowing of the wild oats was completed. . .if one could get past how plain and ordinary she was that is. In truth, Lady Lavinia Antrucha was nothing compared to her sister, Cassandra. She had neither beauty nor social notoriety. . .but at least she didn't leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's the one people go to when they're in trouble and don't know what to do, the one who is supposed to be the stronger of the two Antrucha girls, the one her parents expect will stay with them for the rest of their lives, because what man would want to marry plain, little Lavinia? The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named Laird Ethan Brodi. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich Antruchas by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match Ethan in good looks and fine tastes. As far as Ethan was concerned, Lady Cassandra Antrucha could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another? #Wattys2016
Jaya Samhita by AbhyudayaKaramchetu
118 parts Ongoing
In the divine realms, the Gods face a dilemma. Time is unravelling, the threads of Fate are tangled, and the human world is drifting farther from Dharma. Those destined for greatness and with Dharma in their hearts still fail to grasp its true meaning. The Gods realize that to set things right, they need more than just divine intervention-they need Fate. And so, they turn to Niyati, the embodiment of Fate, to rewrite the paths of mortals. But Niyati is not a force that bends easily. She is not a mere servant to the will of the Gods. She is eternal, impartial, and unyielding. Yet, the Gods plead with her to reincarnate, to take the form of a mortal woman, and to change the course of history. The struggle for Dharma has become a tangled web, and only Niyati has the power to guide it. Reluctantly, Niyati agrees, but not without her own reservations. She will reincarnate-but not alone. By her side is Narayan Krishna, the Supreme Being himself, who seeks to work through her to restore balance. Krishna's divine presence shapes the events of the Mahabharat, but Niyati's hand gently tugs the threads of destiny. As Niyati walks through the lives of kings, warriors, and sages, her decisions become the fulcrum on which the Fate of the Kurukshetra war tilts. She is not just a silent observer; she actively moulds the choices of the Pandavas and Kauravas, nudging them toward their ultimate destiny. But will she be able to guide them to understanding Dharma before it's too late? Or will the complexities of Fate itself prove too intricate to change? Through battles of war, wisdom, and sacrifice, Niyati and Krishna work together, forging a new path for humanity. The journey is not just one of war but of understanding-the battle for Dharma is fought not only on the field but in the hearts and minds of those who walk the earth.

The Qing Dynasty Consort who wants to be a Salted Fish by floatingclouds03
67 parts Ongoing
original author: 姣姣月明 for offline purposes, not my original story. Su Yi was once a free-spirited cultivator who failed her tribulation and, through a stroke of fate, was transported into a Qing Dynasty novel. She became a cannon fodder female character who was treated as nothing more than a baby-making machine by her sister. The sister was the protagonist of this Qing Dynasty novel and, with the mindset of keeping the child while discarding the mother, ensured that the cannon fodder gave birth to a child and then died from severe postpartum bleeding. The protagonist naturally took over the child, becoming the boy's mother. However, after having her own child, she immediately turned into a wicked stepmother, stirring up trouble. Su Yi could understand every word, but when they were put together, she found it a bit confusing. Expecting her to follow the plot was probably a dream. She had been too hardworking before, but now she just wanted to be a salted fish without any ambition. She planned to mooch off the emperor for food and clothing, bask in his imperial aura, and enjoy the beauty of his harem to nurture her body and mind. Life was blissful. Emperor Kangxi suddenly gained the ability to read minds. Anyone within a meter of him or touching him would have their inner thoughts revealed to him. He discovered that the women in his harem were all wearing the skin of beauties while harboring malicious and scheming thoughts, which greatly annoyed him. Among them was an exception - his newly entered fragile and delicate beauty, whose affectionate and gentle gaze made his heart soften considerably. But while she claimed to love him, she was actually eyeing his harem in her heart. Upon closer inspection, he found that she looked just as 深情 (deeply in love) at the beautiful palace maids by his side! Su Yi justified herself with a straight face: "I'm just distributing my love equally to everyone." Kangxi: "What are you talking about ?!"
