《Marriage in Corrosive Love》C5. Their Happiness and Her Pains
Advertisement
Yu Youyou was so excited that she could not cover up her smile.
She was very happy for she loved this baby so much.
Shen Qingkong was confused and wondered if she really had a misunderstanding to the relationship between Yu Youyou and Mu Linxuan.
“You really don’t know how much I want a baby. But I cannot give birth to a baby because of uterus injury during my early years. My life turned dark and gloomy at that time. Thanks to comfort of Linxuan. He promised that he would give me a baby one day.” Yu Youyou looked up and stared at her, with shining eyes. “So many years later, Linxuan carries out his promise.”
“Hi, baby, can you listen to me? This is the first meeting between you and me, your mother.”
“Qingkong, I really appreciate you about that. Linxuan is domineering and stubborn, and thank you so much for your care in these years. You make my dream come true; in addition, you have to suffer from pains of surrogacy now. Linxuan and I really appreciate you for your kindness, so that we can have a baby. I, Yu Youyou, promise you that you will enjoy high position and great wealth in the future when you leave from us.”
“Are you crazy? What are you talking about? I’m the mother of the baby! Get away from me!” Yu Youyou showed sincere thanks, but Shen Qingkong regarded them as the most malicious word. Seeing that Yu Youyou wanted to touch her again, Shen Qingkong pushed her over on the ground.
“Youyou! Are you OK?” Mu Linxuan saw this scene after he entered into the room. He rushed over and helped Yu Youyou stand up. With gloomy look and cold eye expression, “Shen Qingkong, how dare you to do so!”

“Linxuan, what are you doing? Qingkong did not mean to do so.” Yu Youyou stopped Mu Linxuan, “Linxuan, do you know, Qingkong is pregnant.” She was so excited that almost jumped up, “Linxuan, I’m a mother soon, and you are a father. We have a baby now. We have our family member! Say congratulations to me!”
“Congratulations to you, Youyou.” Mu Linxuan’s expression changed gentle instantly. He stared at the belly of Shen Qingkong as soft as a spring breeze in March.
Shen Qingkong felt herself in a ridiculous nightmare.
Her baby was given to another woman by its father before it was born.
“Linxuan, is it a boy or a girl? What name will we give it? It’s the time to decorate the children’s bedroom now. We will prepare two bedrooms, one for a boy and one for a girl. Clothes, toys, baby-sitters and family teachers… We’ll meet all demands of the baby since it does not come easy…”
Shen Qingkong could not help hugging herself. She felt so cold. She wondered if it was a summer day. She felt she was in a freezing cold winter.
Yu Youyou ordered the servants in the villa to do various things about the baby. She then made several calls for everything about the baby.
But in the view of Shen Qingkong, the meticulous arrangement was more horrible than evils with teeth and claws in the hell.
Shen Qingkong wanted to grapple the collar of Mu Linxuan, and asked him why he treated her and her baby like this.
But she had no courage to do so due to his unprecedented gentleness. She was afraid to know some terrible truth.
Shen Qingkong got up and rushed to the upstairs.
She could not stay there anymore. The happy future described by them was piercing pains for her.

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!

Khaldir's Observer
Markus Kuberski, a 21-year-old mechanical engineering student at the Vienna University of Technology and a weeb, is bored by life. He has no girlfriend he cannot meet up with his friends because there is another Covid-lockdown and getting a side-job is also unsuccessful. Therefore, he has started to write a web novel. “If I cannot be the main character with magical powers and a harem full of cute girls in real life then I will create my own universe and be its protagonist.” Although that has been his first thought, he neither dare to use himself as the main character’s template nor write a harem story. “I am not that desperate!” he muses to himself. Little does he know that he will get more than he asked for when a mighty existence becomes interested in his story and makes it a reality. Hello, this is my first attempt at creating something like a novel. English is also not my native language, so expect some grammar and punctuation issues. I am using Grammarly to help myself in this regard, but in some areas, the free app cannot correct everything.There is currently no fixed schedule, although I believe that two chapters per week should be reasonable. Depending on how much time I have, I can write more.

Apex Immortal: a LitRPG system rampage
"Across the multiverse where the contest for power is the only constant, only a handful have succeeded in reaching the ultimate heights of ascendency and gained the title Apex Immortal. Dominus is one of them, unsurpassed in overwhelming violence, feared across universes. Now, memories locked and stranded far away from everything he’d built, Dominus will face enemies that will challenge even his powers and discover that change is more difficult than destruction." I’ve been writing fiction on and off for the last decade and I’ve always wondered how a peak immortal (or an OP superhero) would single handedly conquer a world that mirrors our own in all of its complexity. As a politics nerd, this is my attempt at answering that question using Machiavelli’s “The Prince” as the primary playbook. The “monsters” are entire political systems with entrenched culture. Expect many versions of real world political systems (and cultures) to be on the hit list. The MC has to successfully institute regime and cultural change without engaging in wholesale genocide and causing the state to fail. Expect things to go wrong pretty quickly as escalating and cascading political and economic effects rapidly go out of control. Methods deployed are not for the faint hearted.
