The Abandoned Empress

Ethan Ashford was a man quietly drowning. Brilliant, educated, yet perpetually underestimated, he married into the Whitmore family, one of London's most pretentious households, only to become the butt of every dinner-table joke and the family's unofficial errand boy. When his wife, Celine, shatters the last thread of his dignity by choosing her wealthy colleague over their marriage, Ethan walks away with nothing but the clothes on his back. Then an unexpected visitor arrives: Edmund Graves, the lifelong steward of the Sterling family, carrying word that Ethan's estranged father, Lord Aldric Sterling, is dying and wishes to see him. Ethan, still raw from a childhood trauma he has never forgiven, reluctantly agrees. What follows changes everything. Thrust into the helm of a crumbling hotel empire worth billions, Ethan must outsmart his scheming half-brother Dorian, reclaim his dignity, and open his heart to Josephine Laurent, a brilliant French chef who refuses to be impressed by wealth or title. But old wounds run deep, and enemies lurk in every polished corridor. Can a man who was abandoned by everyone he loved learn to trust again, or will the darkness inside the Sterling name consume him before he can rise?

Born with crippled spiritual roots, John Carter survives as the lowest outer disciple of the Sky Burial Sect, where humiliation is more common than mercy. Mocked by geniuses, beaten by arrogant nobles, and abandoned by fate itself, his future appears hopeless. Until a mysterious jade pendant awakens. Inside it lies the Eternal Void Scripture — a forbidden cultivation art erased from history by the heavens themselves. The scripture rebuilds John’s shattered spiritual roots into a legendary Heavenly Void Root capable of devouring spiritual energy, ancient bloodlines, and even fragments of fate. From that moment forward, the weak disciple begins a ruthless ascent. He massacres enemies stronger than himself. He enters forbidden ruins lost for ten thousand years. He tames ancient demonic beasts. He seizes heavenly treasures from immortal clans. He crushes arrogant geniuses worshipped by entire kingdoms. Yet every breakthrough drags him closer to a terrifying truth: His family was not destroyed by mortals. They were erased by the Immortal Court itself. Now hunted by heavenly forces, cursed immortals, divine sects, and ancient beings buried beneath the stars, John must decide whether he will save the cultivation world… …or destroy the Heavenly Dao and build a new one with his own hands.

Three years ago, Mathew Stone lost everything. Once feared on the battlefield as the legendary War King, he chose to bury his identity and live as nothing more than a powerless live-in son-in-law.

The massacre erased one of the most powerful families in existence, leaving no survivors—or so the world believed.

The deeper Mathew digs, the more he realizes that the enemies who destroyed his family are far more powerful than he imagined. Hidden behind wealth, influence, and respectability is an ancient network that has manipulated nations, businesses, and powerful families from the shadows for decades. As forgotten secrets begin to surface, powerful figures start to fall. Criminal empires collapse overnight. Elite families panic. Assassins emerge from the darkness. And for the first time in years, whispers begin to spread. The War King has returned.

Zaiden's parents were killed when he was just 10 years old in a brutal attack, leaving him with nothing.

All the while, he desperately sought a cure for his blindness, but the final key was elusive: he needed tears of true love. However, love was something he never found.

He resolved to protect her, to find a cure for her blindness as well as his own, and to give her the world—if only she could be the one to offer him the true love he needed to finally restore his sight. {This story has captivated millions of readers.
