[BL] Brushstrokes of Desire

LittleLotus_Writes
One month ago, Lian Hao’s world was upended in a way he could never have predicted. After casually reading a BL novel his sister had recommended, he woke to find himself inexplicably transported into its pages. But fate had not cast him as a mere bystander. No, Lian Hao found himself in the shoes of a quiet, side character—an artist with hidden talents, lost to the shadows of the story’s grand romance. The novel had always revolved around Ye Xiaocheng, the enigmatic protagonist, and his slow-burning, almost fated relationship with the aloof, powerful villain CEO Han Yuzhou—the heir to the Han family and ruler of B City's economic empire. Their love was destined to unfurl only in the final chapters, after Ye Xiaocheng's entanglement with Xu Yanfei, the charming Young Master of the Xu Family, had run its course. But when Lian Hao, working quietly on a painting commission in a local café, crossed paths with Han Yuzhou—cold, unreadable, and impossibly handsome—something shifted in the air. Their eyes met. A spark ignited. In an instant, the story changed. And so did everything Lian Hao had come to expect from the world he’d entered.

Ancient Seal: The City of No Return

After school, sixteen-year-old Aarav Verma was just trying to test a strange feeling—an urge that tugged at him since he received a royal locket from an old woman during a class trip to Jodhpur. So, he climbs to his rooftop… And begins to float. High above the city, past even the clouds, something awakens in him. A strange power. A force inside. And then—the sky opens. A spiral of green energy forms above him, crackling like a storm. Within moments, he's pulled into it… And hurled into a different world. He crashes onto the rooftop of a massive ancient haveli, weathered and majestic—clearly untouched by time for centuries. Jodhpur still surrounds him, but it feels twisted, older. The year is 1880. Inside the haveli, haunting murals stare down from crumbling walls. One painting—of a girl in an Anarkali dress—seems almost alive. A strange red cloth tied on an iron gate pulses with energy, as if warning him to stay away. He runs. But the deeper he goes, the stranger things become. In a shadowed alley, he finds a staircase leading to a tattoo shop—inside, a famous actress sits, trapped in time, selling mysterious ink. She warns him: “You can’t leave this city. Not unless the royal bloodline allows it.” Here, royal families rule like shadow governments, their secrets buried in ancient laws and spiritual power. The people call it Heaven, but Aarav knows—this place is more a curse than paradise. Now, Aarav must uncover the secret of the locket, the painting, and his own powers before he’s trapped forever in a city that remembers everything—and lets no one go.

Cultivation starts with picking up attributes

Tian Shen was your average unordinary guy—living a monotonous life. One day, fate (or rather, Truck-kun) decided to grant his wish… by sending him flying into another world at 120 km/h. When he woke up again, he found himself in the body of an outer disciple of the Beast Taming Sect. His talent? Nonexistent. His reputation? Of a molester’s. Just when he thought he was doomed to be cannon fodder, a golden screen appeared before him. 『Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have activated the Attribute System.』 『Congrats host, you killed 5th stage of body refining realm cultivator and gained Qi points ×30.』 『Congrats host, you killed 1th stage of Qi refining realm cultivator and gained Luck points ×80.』 『Absorbed white Attribute orb, gained 1-star sword.』 『Absorbed golden Attribute orb, gained divine Artifact.』 Tian Shen: “…Huh?” Armed with his new system, Tian Shen embarks on a ridiculous journey—casually strolling through battlefields to collect fallen attributes, dodging cultivation technique manuals (which drop on his head), and even trolling young masters into fighting just to farm their stats. But as he levels up in the most absurd way possible, he soon realizes… is he cheating too much? Because now, heavenly tribulations, ancient sects, and hidden experts are all eyeing him. Tian Shen: I am favored by the AUTHOR of this book, you lots can't even handle my shoes. *Rumble**Crackle* Again Tian Shen: I-i was just joking, don't take it seriously. **BOOM**
