Reads
This story tells of Alex Qi, an ordinary young man who, at the lowest point in his life, is unexpectedly chosen by the vampire butler Mike Nicholas Farrar and forced to accept the inheritance, becoming the sole heir to the fourteenth vampire clan, the "Arbitrators." Dumped by his girlfriend for not being able to afford a house, Alex Qi drowns his sorrows in the streets of Los Angeles, where he encounters the mysterious vampire butler Mike. Tempted by Mike's promises of "walking in the sunlight and possessing a vast fortune," Alex Qi accepts the inheritance, becoming a new vampire named "Wanxiang Nicholas Qi," and inheriting Mike's Sunrise Investment Company in China. However, he soon discovers that the alluring multi-billion dollar inheritance is far away in Europe, unattainable due to the hostility of other vampire factions, and he finds himself in a perilous situation, hunted down. During his first training session, Alex Qi's spirit unexpectedly enters the divine realm of the progenitor Cain, learning the true origin and mission of his vampire clan, and obtaining the divine weapon "Blood Drinker." Upon returning to reality, he, along with his maid Linda (a Gangrol catwoman) and bodyguard Jack (a werewolf), repelled assassins from the Asameth family. This battle resulted in Linda and Jack being severely injured while protecting him, their forms permanently locked into cat and wolf forms by a soul-binding spell. To stop another blood mage, Peng Simmore, who was indiscriminately killing innocents in America to lure him out, Alex Qi engaged in a fierce battle with him. The incident attracted the attention of the U.S. National Special Affairs Division. The division, on the condition of guaranteeing the safety and livelihood of his family, reached an agreement with Alex Qi: he would enter the supernatural academy "Shengjing University" as an "unofficial" to protect Crystal, a young lady from a cultivation family who refused to cultivate. Thus, Alex Qi, accompanied by his pets Sylvia and Jet, stepped into the campus, beginning a new life where he adapted to campus life, cultivated to improve his strength, fulfilled his protective duties, and secretly dealt with threats from various supernatural forces. His journey, from the disappointment of an ordinary person, is gradually moving towards a broader world of supernatural abilities and a heavier mission.

Steel Rose, Black Thorns
Reads
Before she turned sixteen, Hannah Zhao was the sole heiress of the Zhao Group Corporation. Her father, Martin Zhao, was a self-made “steel magnate,” and her mother, Sophia Song, was a renowned businesswoman. The family of three lived in the most opulent estate in City C. She attended the best international school and was admitted early to the history department of A University at the age of sixteen, with a promising future ahead of her. On her sixteenth birthday, during the height of a lavish pink castle-themed party, her father was arrested by the police in front of everyone, charged with “embezzlement.” That night, her mother died in a mysterious car accident while rushing to the scene. Hannah Zhao, still a minor, was suddenly thrust from being the apple of everyone's eye into the role of an “orphan.” What was even more cruel was that she witnessed her childhood sweetheart, Jason Zhang, embracing her cousin Sierra Zhao and casually telling her, “I never loved you.” All the love, trust, and pride she had known were shattered, and she fainted in the pouring rain. Her mother's twin sister, Quentin Yue, a renowned lawyer in Chicago, rushed back to China and took her to the United States as her guardian. At the airport that day, Hannah Zhao looked back at her hometown, her eyes filled with a blood-red vow: one day, she would reclaim everything she had lost. After arriving in the United States, she abandoned her beloved history and switched to finance, enrolling in the ST Business School adjacent to Wall Street. She spent day and night poring over piles of annual reports and code, determined to understand how capital could be so ruthless. One rainy night, she was nearly harassed by a drunk man on the street but was rescued by Quentin Yue, a genius programmer from the same school—this young man, who had cashed out from a small game at the age of twenty but then stepped back at the peak of his career, became her most important ally thereafter. Quentin Yue, on the surface a math PhD and tech geek, was actually well-versed in capital markets. He discovered Hannah Zhao’s remarkable intuition for numbers and trends and invited her to test his self-developed big data financial model. The two rented an apartment as a studio, attending classes during the day and monitoring the markets at night. From shorting retail stocks to targeting oil futures, their first attempts yielded millions in profits. Meanwhile, Hannah Zhao leveraged her aunt's legal network to commission a credit investigation agency to uncover the truth in Singapore: the whistleblowing materials from her father's case were authored by her uncle Miles Zhao; her mother's car accident was a “accident” orchestrated by Miles Zhao by bribing a truck driver; and Jason Zhang was merely a pawn used to disrupt her emotions. As the evidence mounted, she remained inactive—she was waiting for an opportunity to take down all her enemies at once. Two years later, Hannah Zhao turned eighteen and formally inherited all the shares under her parents' names, becoming the invisible major shareholder of Zhao Group Corporation with over 51% of the shares. At this time, a steel crisis hit Singapore, and Miles Zhao, who was mismanaging the business, was desperate to push for the Zhao family's IPO to raise funds. Hannah Zhao instructed her legal team to “cooperate” with the IPO process, but at a critical moment, she revealed a secret offshore trust established by her mother before her death, freezing all shares and forcing Miles Zhao to publicly admit fraud during the roadshow. The stock price plummeted, brokers abandoned their positions, and the market value of Zhao Group Corporation evaporated by 70% overnight. She took advantage of the low prices to acquire shares in the secondary market, then returned to the board as a “strategic investor” and used forceful measures to remove Miles Zhao, expel Zhang's affiliated companies, and recall all of her parents' former associates. Miles Zhao attempted to fight back, but discovered he had already been abandoned by his partners—those “allies” were creditors who had been secretly bought off by Hannah Zhao using overseas funds.
