Now, Adrian has returned as Chairman Cole, the cold, ruthless majority shareholder of a medical conglomerate, and his target is the Metropolitan Medical Group (MMG)—the very hospital that ruined him. Adrian’s meticulously planned destruction is swiftly turning into a global shadow war when he discovers the Monroes are merely a regional arm of a vast, illicit syndicate known as The Foundation. His revenge is no longer just personal; it's a desperate fight for survival against an international enemy. The one weakness in his airtight plan is Dr. Lily Monroe, Lilian’s brilliant younger sister, who secretly believes in Adrian’s innocence. As he installs her in a high-stakes position to gather intel, their volatile professional rivalry ignites an intense, forbidden attraction. When The Foundation issues its brutal ultimatum—forcing Adrian and Lily into a public, fake engagement to protect her reputation—the line between protector and adversary vanishes. Can Adrian dismantle a global conspiracy without losing the one woman who sees the man behind the monster, or will the price of his ultimate victory be the second life he fought so hard to reclaim?

In the Xuanhuang world, the sky had shattered centuries ago, leaving behind the "Celestial Fracture" that poisoned the world's energy and constrained the path of cultivation. Lin Feng, a weak and ailing mine slave, was accidentally struck by a mysterious stone from a meteorite. This stone turned out to be a "Heaven's Core Shard"—a fragment of the broken sky—that fused with his soul and granted him eyes capable of "Deconstructing All Laws." With his newfound ability, he saw the world not as a mystery, but as a collection of puzzles that could be taken apart and reassembled. From the lowliest kicking technique to forgotten ancient legacies, he could comprehend the essence of everything. However, this power made him a target for many factions: orthodox sects seeking to exploit him, wicked cultivators wanting to steal his soul core, and ancient beings awakened from slumber as he began to "repair" the damaged sky. His journey was not just one to become the strongest, but also to become the "Heavenly Repairman." Each step he took transformed the world, creating new cultivation arts, revolutionary artifacts, and ultimately, posing the ultimate question: should the shattered sky be restored to its original state, or reassembled into something entirely new?

[🥉 #10 System in my real life 🥉 ]"I don't have any powers and I don't want any." Victor snorted. "Well, there is no turning back now. At this stage, you can't control your primal instincts and your will to morph. Although, they are vital for a shape-changer." Maks's eyes rounded, pacing back and forth, "I can't control my primordial instinct..." He said. "It's primal_" "They're the same thing!" He yelled back.

“Anyone in there?” He asked about the hundredth time before he finally decided to push the door open.“Oh my God!” Tyler was shocked at what he saw. “This can't be true!” His eyes went wide as he saw his wife Elena in a tight embrace with a man who kissed her passionately with their tongues playing with each other, touching every inch of her body as she unbuckled his belt quickly.“What the hell?” Tyler asked with watery eyes.“What the fuck is going on here?” Tyler's jaw dropped, still in the shock of seeing Elena moaning to the touch of another man.
