Rise of the Phoenix Princess

Kalimex
She was just a teenage girl—until the Divine Phoenix Flame awakened. Lyra lived an ordinary human life, unaware that she was the long-lost Phoenix Princess of Ignis— bearer of the Divine Phoenix Flame, the strongest power ever recorded in the Aetherion Galaxy. When the ancient world of Ignis fell to darkness, a newborn princess was torn from her burning home and cast into a fragile, unfamiliar planet to survive. Now, as Lyra’s dormant power awakens, so does a prophecy capable of reshaping existence itself. Uncontrollable flames. Ruthless enemies. A fate written before her birth. Hunted by ancient forces, feared across galaxies, and bound to a destiny older than the stars, Lyra is forced onto the brutal path of cultivation—where every breakthrough is earned through blood, loss, and fire. From deadly trials and forgotten ruins to galaxy-shaking wars, she must learn to command a flame capable of both creation and annihilation. But power always demands a price. As darkness spreads across the Aetherion Galaxy and even the heavens begin to move, Lyra must choose: Be consumed by her own fire… Or rise beyond all limits and become the legend the galaxy fears. For when a phoenix rises— even the heavens will burn. Read Ahead & Support the Story: Want more chapters and faster releases?

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
