They were feared prodigies. Legendary cultivators. Master chefs of spiritual cuisine. Then the Heavenly Dao sneezed… and yeeted their bodies across the cosmos. In their place? Two clueless Earth girls with a love for cultivation novels, no spiritual roots, and a terrible talent for chasing scumbags. For seven long years, these imposters lived in Xu Meilin and Xu Lihua’s bodies, unknowingly sabotaging their reputations, squandering rare treasures, and turning the once-respected Flying Sword Sect into a sect-wide punchline. Their fiancés were ignored. Their enemies emboldened. Their dignity? Cooked. And now the real twins are back. Xu Meilin wields a sacred spatula sharp enough to shave a dragon. Xu Lihua commands a flaming wok hotter than her patience. Together, these divine disasters are here to reclaim everything honor, power, stolen love and maybe flambé a few garbage-tier ex-fiancés while they’re at it. With actual fire. And chili oil. But let’s not forget the devils, the sect politics, the whispers of war, and one very confused Heavenly Dao scrambling to fix the cosmic mess it caused after punishing the wrong people… because proximity to evil, apparently, gets you exiled too.

Warning: This novel contains unholy food metaphors, disastrous soul swaps, spiritual duels, sexy scowling husbands, and enough divine chaos to break the Heavenly Ledger in half. Handle with enchanted oven mitts and maybe a talisman.

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] Civilization had long since collapsed, devoured by a relentless winter and the beasts it birthed—creatures mutated by an unknown force, twisted parodies of the people, animals, and machines they once were. Humanity, now a scattered and desperate remnant, clung to life in the shadows, surviving day by day in frozen caves and crumbling shelters, building small camps. They were no longer rulers of the world but prey—small, brittle sparks in a storm of ice and monsters. Henry never imagined he’d become one of them. One moment, he was just another guy living a painfully ordinary life. The next, without warning, he awoke in the body of a woman named Monica, standing in the middle of a frozen wasteland, wearing clothes that didn’t fit and staring into a cracked mirror at a face that wasn’t his. “Fuck, I’m a girl now?!” The thought hit him like the blizzard winds. It wasn’t just the body that was unfamiliar—it was everything. The world, the air, the rules. But even as panic clawed at the edges of her mind, something else stirred. A light pulsed behind her eyes—a voice, no, a system. Cold, efficient, and filled with promise: a survival interface capable of upgrading anything. Weapons, clothing, skills—even Monica’s new body. Infinitely, endlessly, as long as she kept pushing forward. The world may have fallen, but Monica had something no one else did: a cheat code for survival.

"Please, I have to go home." That's what I told the man in front of me. I begged him to let me go, but in my heart, I pray he never will.  How crazy is that? How can I feel safer with a stranger I've just met than the man who was supposed to love me until death? Why does he look at me like I'm the most beautiful thing in the world? Does he see the bruises? Is that why he's doing this? I should've never left the house, but I couldn't let him win. Not this time, but I hadn't counted on this. "He'll never hurt you again." I want to believe those words, but I don't know if I can. What if I'm going crazy? What if it's all a dream, and I wake up in the nightmare that's my life? I shouldn't trust him, but gods, why does his voice affect me like this? Why does he smell like lightning storms and heather? "Nefretiri? Do you know what a mate is?" No, he didn't just say that! Life isn't supposed to be this dark. That's what Nefretiri Jordans believed until her world came crumbling down. Her marriage was now a game of slave and master, and she would never win. Not when her husband was cruel enough to bring his mistresses to the house and act like Nefra was nothing more than a servant. She wants to run, but she can't. He'll never let her go, especially not with their new daughter. So, she has no choice but to live in hell and do her best to stay sane. Unfortunately, that line of sanity suddenly breaks when Ricky goes too far, and Nefra makes a stupid choice. After all, it's just a cake. Who cared about that?  Fate has a cruel sense of humor, and Nefra quickly learns that nothing is by chance. So, what started as a painful but necessary trip to the store turned into an unexpected adventure.  After all, she never put mate on her shopping list. Not that it mattered to Ivan. The Alpha of the Sebryanny Kinzhal pack from Colorado who's slowly coming back from a year of hell. All he wanted was to find peace and figure out what he was supposed to do with his life. The moon goddess had an answer, and she set him up to find the one thing he needed to be saved.  So, when Nefra crashed into his truck and he saw her, Ivan knew she was his destiny. Unfortunately for him, she's not on board and seems to belong to someone else. If Ivan wants Nefretiri to be his, he'll need to do more than earn her trust. Dark secrets are waiting to devour both of them, and more than one enemy is watching in the shadows to claim what both unknowingly hold.  Somehow, they must get past their pain to find each other and build something neither believed was possible again. Finally, it's time to put the cards on the table and bet it all. If they win, their lives will be more than either of them could ever dream, but if they lose, the darkness will destroy more than one life.
