Sad Eyes On My Block

The story of a young man who was betrayed by his fiancée and humiliated by his own family, to the point where there was no place for him—not even in the city where he lived. Yet, even as insults rained down on him, he kept smiling and felt no bitterness. Ever since that betrayal, Lu Chen no longer cared about romantic relationships, and even that small change in him made Uncle Lu begin to take him seriously. “I never give up; even after suffering a defeat, I never forget the shame of that defeat. There will come a day when I’ll get my revenge, and a day when I’ll look down on them all—when that day arrives, they’ll all regret what they’ve done!” This is Lu Chen’s journey to find his biological parents and exact revenge for the humiliation he has endured all this time. Will he achieve both? Or will he simply remain a nobody in everyone’s eyes?

“You’re nothing but a useless, poor ex-husband, Daniel! Your existence is nothing more than a black stain on my life! In my eyes, you’re no better than a piece of roadside trash!” To Seraphina Monroe, Daniel Leonard was a burden that could be discarded at any time for the sake of the Monroe family's business ambitions and the warm embrace of a wealthy man like Evan Vanguard. However, their arrogance crumbled in an instant the moment the divorce papers were signed. A mysterious Centurion Black Card activated in Daniel’s hand, connecting him to the Financial Reversal System, which granted him instant and unlimited capital! Daniel chose neither to hide nor to pretend to be a lowly servant any longer. With billions of dollars at his fingertips, he immediately shook Wall Street. He purchased the Monroe family's mansion estate, acquired controlling shares in their allies' companies, and stood as an equal partner beside New York’s Business Goddess, Cheryl Cole Ashford. From this moment on, the Dragon’s financial revenge began. One by one, supply chains were cut off, partnership contracts were unilaterally terminated, and the stock market was manipulated until his enemies crawled across the floor begging for mercy. By the time regret began to burn within Seraphina’s heart, it was already too late. Her ex-husband had already risen to the very top of the world as an untouchable True Billionaire! What happens next?

“You're not a nobody,” Victor Moon said, his silver eyes unreadable. “You're the man gods once feared.” Banished from divine memory and stripped of celestial might, Marcus Steele walks among mortals in plain clothes and quiet patience. Bound by an ancient marriage contract, he arrives in Manhattan—a city of supernatural elites—to claim his betrothed. But Diana Sterling, the ice-cold CEO of Sterling Industries, publicly humiliates him, mocking his appearance, status, and power. She doesn’t know who she’s mocking. None of them do. “Take your money,” Diana sneers, hurling a check worth millions. “We're not equals. You don’t belong in my world.” She’s wrong. When shadow demons strike, Marcus reveals a glimpse of the war god he once was—effortlessly annihilating threats, catching the attention of Sarah Moon, heiress to the most feared family in the supernatural underworld. “Marcus,” Sarah whispers, fierce and elegant, “I want you to be my partner.” As Manhattan’s elites scramble to earn his favor, old enemies emerge from the shadows, desperate to keep Marcus from reclaiming his throne. But with each battle, his power returns—and so do his memories. “Tell your master,” Marcus says, standing over broken assassins, “that some wars aren’t worth starting.” They wanted a pawn. They mocked a drifter. They awoke a god. Now, Marcus Steele is done pretending.

“How can I, beautiful Sarah, a fashion model, be in a relationship with a person like you who can't even walk well? Your face is all bruised, and your lips look so scary.

“Do you know who he is?” Aria whispered, her voice trembling. Her father scoffed. “Some nouveau riche fool trying to play king.” The man across the table smiled calm, sharp, untouchable. The room fell silent when he spoke. “It’s been a while, Mr. Elston.” The older man froze. Aria’s glass slipped from her hand. The name echoed in her head like thunder. Mikael. He leaned back, eyes unreadable. “Last time we met, you called me a waste bin.” “M-Mikael…” she stammered, her face pale. “Mr. Dray,” corrected the host beside him—her father’s new business rival. “My son-in-law and the current CEO of ValenCore Holdings.” The silence cracked like glass. Mikael’s smile deepened, just enough to sting. “Don’t worry. I’m not here to rebuild anything for you.” He paused, letting the words sink in. “I’m just here to watch what’s left… fall apart.”

"In his past life, everything met its end beneath the strike of a cursed lance—one that split his dragon's flesh and snuffed out the mana coursing through his veins.

"If the blade failed me once... then I shall forge a crown out of my own blood and fire that no one can ever shake!"

"Oh shut up, please!" Olivia said dismissively without any hesitation, standing up and folding her arms to her chest. Jason looked shocked, his eyes moved to her, then to the others, who still hadn’t said a word in his defense. "Why have you chosen to be this useless?" she continued in a low growl. "You haven’t worked a single day since we got married. Maybe you just like sitting in that chair, being pitiful, and using it as your excuse for why you're a broke man." Jason’s teeth clenched. He wanted to defend himself, to explain again, but the moment he opened his mouth, Olivia raised a hand. "Don’t say a word, I’m not done. You think you can play the victim forever? My family paid for your therapy, flew you around the world, gave you access to the best doctors, and yet here you are, back with the same damaged spine and still sitting in that chair." She rubbed her forehead. Jason lowered his gaze, disappointed at her reaction but he didn’t talk.

It is NOT a harem, and there are very few sexually explicit scenes. My world building and character development aren't the best, but they will improve with time.
