Return of the Drift King
10.7M
**Writing Style One: 【Underestimated/Sleeping Giant】** Twenty-three soda bottles, precisely obliterated. Twenty-three fragments of Qingyun Racing's pride, brutally crushed. Hank Lee, the self-proclaimed "Drift King," surveyed the Qingyun team with a victor's sneer, his gaze as dismissive as if he were sizing up lambs for slaughter. Captain Finn's hands and feet felt like ice. The next up: rookie Youssef. "I... I might hit three or four," Youssef stammered, his voice a barely audible squeak as he gripped the steering wheel. As expected, a jarring crash was followed by an awkward halt. Not a single bottle moved. Hank's team erupted in jeers. Their leader shrieked, "He's even on the track? Just surrender already! This is an insult!" Finn clenched his fists, steeling himself to enter the fray, but the manager's hand gripped his arm, his voice eerily calm: "Winston, you go." A collective gasp swept through the crowd. No one understood. Youssef, sputtering, pointed at the grease-stained mechanic who spent his days in the garage. "Dad! He's just a gopher, probably doesn't even have a license! He's not qualified!" Finn's voice trembled with urgency. "At least I still have a chance! If he goes, we're guaranteed to lose!" Yet, Winston, the quiet, almost invisible mechanic, slowly raised his head. He silently donned his racing gloves, his steps measured as he settled into the driver's seat. In his usually dull, gray eyes, an unextinguished flame flickered to life. His gaze became as deep and still as the ocean, completely undisturbed by the stinging mockery that seemed not to reach him at all. The roar of the engine ripped through all the derision and doubt in an instant. A palpable tension filled the air. Everyone held their breath, wondering how this "nobody" would respond to such an impossible challenge. --- **Writing Style Two: 【System/Audience View】** [Holy crap, 23 bottles! Qingyun Racing is getting absolutely annihilated!] [That Hank Lee is so arrogant. Captain Finn looks like he's about to cry. Next up is a rookie, Youssef? It's over, completely doomed.] The white racing car sped like a flash of lightning, carving a path through the track, leaving behind 23 precisely scattered soda bottles and a trail of shattered pride. The opponent, Hank Lee, the self-proclaimed "Drift King," smirked victoriously, his gaze contemptuously sweeping over Qingyun Racing. Captain Finn’s face was etched with despair, for the next contestant was the novice, Youssef. "I... I might hit three or four." Youssef's hands trembled on the steering wheel. As expected, his attempt ended with a grating crash and an awkward halt. [Hahahah, just as predicted! Didn't even touch a single bottle, lol!] [Don't struggle anymore, just surrender. Save everyone the embarrassment.] Hank's team erupted in roaring laughter. "He's even on the track? Just surrender already!" their leader mocked. Just as Finn was about to step forward, the manager called him back. "Winston, you go." [Wait, who?! Winston? The Winston who fixes cars all day?] [Is the manager insane? Sending a gopher out there to be slaughtered?] Youssef shrieked, "Dad! He's just a gopher, completely unqualified!" Finn, equally frantic, added, "At least I still have a chance! If he goes, we're guaranteed to lose!" [Exactly! Finn is the captain, who the hell is Winston?] Winston, the usually taciturn mechanic, silently put on his racing gloves and sat into the driver's seat. His wrists were strong and agile; the moment the gloves were on, he seemed to transform. The dullness in his gray eyes was gone, replaced by a profound, fathomless stillness. The roar of the engine shattered the mocking laughter, and tension filled the air. [This aura... something seems off, doesn't it?] [Probably just a fluke. What can a mechanic do? Waiting for the face-slap.] Everyone held their breath, curious to see how this underestimated "loser" would respond to a seemingly impossible challenge. --- **Writing Style Three: 【First-Person/Internal Monologue】 (Finn's POV)** Twenty-three soda bottles! I stared at the scattered shards on the ground, my heart feeling like it had been run over. That sickening grin on Hank Lee's face… in his eyes, Qingyun Racing was already filleted fish on a chopping board. Youssef's pathetic "I might hit three or four" before he even started was a joke in the face of despair. And just as expected, he didn't even touch one before awkwardly grinding to a halt. Hank's crew started cackling like hyenas, their leader's taunts like knives twisting in my gut: "He's even on the track? Just surrender already!" I clenched my fists, knowing it was my turn. Even with the slimmest thread of hope, I couldn't give up. But just as I prepared to step forward, the manager's voice struck like a bolt of lightning: "Winston, you go." I froze, turning to glance at that corner. Winston? The mechanic who usually just kept his head down, mending cars, barely stringing a sentence together? Youssef was already on his feet, roaring, "Dad! He's just a gopher, totally unqualified!" A thousand protests screamed in my own head, my voice cracking, "At least I still have a chance! If he goes, we're guaranteed to lose!" This was corporate suicide! But Winston acted as if he hadn't heard a thing, silently pulling on his racing gloves. His movements were slow, yet imbued with a composure I had never seen before. He settled into the driver's seat, then looked up at the track, and in those eyes, usually so dull, a deep, quiet flame now burned, incredibly serene. The engine's roar suddenly exploded, instantly swallowing all doubt and mockery. I watched him, and a shiver ran down my spine. This utterly unremarkable man, who exactly… was he? My heart pounded against my ribs, threatening to burst. The air solidified, everyone held their breath. I didn't know if we were about to lose even more spectacularly, or… if we were about to witness a miracle. Former racing legend Chase Walker has lived under the radar as a humble mechanic in countryside for five years. However, the Raptor Riders shows up, challenging the locals to a high-stakes race. With the town’s future at stake, Chase must decide: stay hidden or dust off his skills for one last ride. Can the washed-up champion outdrive his past—and save their home?

His Lost Lycan Luna
Embers glowed red, like the grip of her mother’s hand in her final moments. Ari stood barefoot on the scorched earth behind the manor, her dress flapping in the night wind like a tattered banner. The nobles formed a circle around her, their golden spectacles reflecting cold, glittering eyes. "Daughter of a traitor—unworthy of bearing the heirloom of the Wolfblood." They pointed at the silver chain around her neck, the one her mother had died to leave behind, engraved with forgotten moon-script: *Blood not cold, oath unbroken.* Ivy screamed from behind iron bars, but her voice drowned beneath the crackling flames. A man who looked like a cook approached, a boning knife in hand, a scar cutting across his face, grinning like a madman. "Heard your sister preferred her feet burned raw rather than give it up?" He hurled a ladle of hot oil into the fire. The blaze roared skyward. "Well then, let's see how much pain the little sister can take tonight." Ari didn’t turn. She only stared into the churning sparks within the coals—seeing again that night ten years past: her mother being dragged into the woods, pressing this very necklace into her palm with her last breath. "You call me the child of a traitor?" she finally spoke, her voice ragged as tearing cloth. "But tell me—who among you remembers who took the hunters’ silver arrows so you could live?" The crowd stirred. Doubt flickered. Then—a shadow cut across the firelight. A man in a tailored suit stepped from the darkness, his polished shoes treading over ash without a sound. His gaze swept over Ari—the trembling spine held unbent—and slowly, he removed his gloves. "Gentlemen," his voice low and heavy, "what you are burning is not a traitor’s bloodline. It is the last living descendant of the final Wolf Lord." He lifted his eyes, their depths dark as an abyss: "And I have come to bring her home." The wind stilled. The fire burned on. A tear traced down Ari’s cheek—but she did not step back. The game was set. Survival has always been written by the victor.
A Blind Date with my Mr. Meant-to-Be
The chandelier in the ballroom glared harshly, casting sharp light over the scene. Red wine dripped down Alison's crimson dress, trailing like blood. A blonde socialite sneered, "You actually brought a fake bag to my son’s engagement party? Aren’t you ashamed?" Silence swallowed the room. Alison knelt on the floor, fingers clawing at the carpet until her nails nearly split. She looked up at her best friend—the one who once called her “sister”—only to see her quietly sipping wine, avoiding eye contact. She turned to the brand director she’d worked with for three years; he was already walking away. Even her cousin, whom she’d helped countless times, took a quiet half-step back, as if afraid of catching some contagion. Her phone vibrated inside her purse. The butler’s trembling voice came through: “Miss… Mr. Li is boarding now. It’ll take at least forty minutes…” She laughed, a broken sound, tears slipping into the corners of her mouth. “So… I really have no one after all.” Then—**the ballroom doors burst open.** The click of high heels stopped dead. A figure stood in the doorway—gray suit perfectly tailored, tie slightly loosened, eyes so cold they froze the noise in the air. He strode forward, his polished shoes silent on the carpet, yet each step pressed like weight on every heartbeat. The entire room held its breath. He dropped to one knee before her, shrugged off his coat, and draped it gently over her shoulders. His voice wasn’t loud, but it cut through the hall like a blade: “Who gave you the right… to touch my fiancée?” He lifted his gaze to the sneering woman, lips curling in disdain. “And that bag? A one-of-a-kind piece I personally commissioned in Paris. You call it fake—so it must be?” The air turned to ice. Suddenly, the chat exploded: 【HOLY SHIT! That’s him—the elusive CEO of the Li Corporation!】 【OMG the female lead just activated her main storyline!!!】 【Don’t cry, girl—this is only the first step of your legendary comeback!!】 Alison stared up at him, stunned. And he—gently wiping the wine stain from her cheek—whispered only for her to hear: “I’ve waited five years… finally found you.”

MY CROREPATI HUSBAND
The setting sun melted into gold, the swimming pool shimmering with specks of silver light. My husband lay on a lounge chair, his suit unbuttoned, tie loose, a stack of cash in his hand that he casually tossed into the air—like silent snowflakes drifting down into the water, sinking,无人去捡. "Money," he said, "is meant to be spent." But I knew—he was waiting for someone to care. The family reunion was held at the old estate, three generations gathered amidst laughter and chatter. But the moment I stepped through the door, my father hurled his teacup to the ground. "How dare you come back?" He pointed at me, hand trembling like a dry branch in the wind. "Your mother’s last words were—‘Don’t let that woman into the funeral hall!’" I looked down at the note in my hand—my mother’s handwriting, hidden for ten years, only uncovered today when my sister found it tucked deep within an old bookshelf. It bore just one line: **"Lin Wan is not my daughter."** The air froze. I looked up, meeting my husband’s gaze. His lips still curled in that easy smile, but his eyes had long turned cold. Then the door opened. Two children burst in—one waving a toy gun, the other lugging a bulging little backpack. "Mom! We found the treasure!" They dumped the bag onto the floor—gold coins, bars, deposit slips caked with dirt—and a yellowed photograph: a young woman holding a baby, standing before the doors of “Win Bank Vault,” smiling brightly. But that woman—wasn't me. It was my sister. Silence swallowed the room. My father lunged for the photo. My aunt screamed for the police. An uncle kicked over a chair, roaring, “That vault is registered under my name! You broke into it?!” I knelt, gently stroking my son’s hair. He tilted his face up, innocent and hopeful. “Mom, will the treasure make Dad stay?” I didn’t answer. Because I knew— the true vault was never in a bank. It lay deep within the human heart, locked shut with lies, bloodlines, and a two-decade-long game of substitution. Who is the pawn? Who holds the pieces? The answer waits behind the next opening door.
No Longer His Stand-In Wife
She had once been the punchline at his wedding—the stand-in bride who fell at the foot of the stairs, while he didn’t even turn back, sweeping his true love into his arms and walking away. Three months later, in a hospital corridor, she stood in the cold wind clutching an ultrasound report. Triplets, and all he said was offhandedly: "Keep one. The rest—don't let them get in the way." She didn’t cry. She didn’t scream. That night, she fed her wedding ring into a paper shredder, signed the divorce papers, drained eight digits from his bank account, took the downtown mansion, the Ferrari keys from the garage, and even the ancestral jade given to her by his mother. A year later, his second wedding was packed with guests. The host called for the groom three times, but he never appeared. Just as impatience filled the room, the grand doors crashed open. She stepped in along the red carpet, dressed in a black gown like midnight, her umbrella tapping the ground—a sound like a funeral knell. Behind her, four men resembling bodyguards stood in formation. In the center, one held a document—the official marriage certificate revealing her secret wedding to the head of a multinational conglomerate. Spouse name: Lily. The crowd erupted in shock. She locked eyes with the man who once trampled her dignity, a faint smirk on her lips: "You said I was only fit to bear one child?" "Now, I don’t need you for children at all." "As for this wedding..." She raised her hand and tore the invitation in half. Paper fragments fluttered down like snow. "I just came to see how pathetic you’ve become."
REVENGE OF XXL HUSBAND
The office lights glared down, pale and harsh, like surgical lamps, exposing every flicker of emotion on Prerna's face. "Why should I pay for a loser?" Her voice was icy, her fingertip stabbing at the divorce papers on the table. "You ruined Mom’s life. Now she has to pay off your debts even in death?" Her father sat motionless in his leather chair, but a strange smile curled at the corner of his lips. "You're wrong. I'm not the failure— you're the daughter of someone who succeeded." For a breath, the air froze. Prerna scoffed, snatched her bag, and turned to leave. Just as the door swung open, a dark figure filled the doorway. A man in a sharply tailored suit, his tie pin gleaming like a blade pressed to the throat. He lifted his gaze, pinning her with eyes as sharp as nails. "Kush Mahotra," he announced, as if delivering a verdict. "Your family owes me. And it's time to pay." Her father snapped his head up, pupils shrinking—then, slowly, he began to smile. He knew this man. And he knew—he shouldn't have come. But Kush only stared coldly at Prerna. "You think this is a family quarrel? No. This is war. And you’re standing right in the ruins." "Fine," Prerna shot back, slamming the door shut behind her. She pulled a blank check from her bag, pen hovering. "Want money? Take it. Just disappear." Kush let out a low laugh, stepped forward, and gripped her chin. "Do you really think I care about your charity? What I want is for you to kneel and call me Dad." She didn’t flinch. Instead, she met his gaze. "Alright. But when you're on your knees, don’t say I didn’t warn you—" "My father raised me to be a killer." Before the last word faded, her father suddenly began to clap. The lights flickered. His smile turned grotesque. "Finally… he’s here." Silence swallowed the room—so deep you could hear blood hit the floor. The storm had only just begun.
