Hells' Momentum

In the dying years of the Ming Empire, as famine and rebellion tear the land apart and the dead rise in a plague that defies heaven itself, Feng Kuan is a broken man. Once a respected captain, the forty eight year old soldier was cast out in disgrace after his troop was slaughtered due to corrupt orders from above. Now he wanders the ravaged borderlands as a drunkard, drowning his shame in cheap sorghum baijiu. When he stumbles into a remote mountain temple seeking shelter, he finds only death and a five month old infant girl, the sole survivor of a massacre. As grotesque jiangshi stiff, regenerating corpses that cannot be killed by blade alone swarm the temple, Feng Kuan makes a desperate discovery: fire is the only thing that can truly destroy them. In a moment of chaos, spilled liquor and sparks turn his dao into a burning weapon. With nowhere to run and no safe haven left in the collapsing empire, Feng Kuan takes the nameless child with him. What begins as bitter resentment slowly becomes an unbreakable chain. The infant’s cries constantly betray their position to the undead, forcing him into brutal, exhausting fights he can barely survive at his age. There is no cure, no sanctuary, and no hope of restoring the Ming. Only the endless road, starvation, infected wounds, and the weight of a child who is not his. Across ruined villages, rebel held territories, and plague-stricken wilderness, Feng Kuan fights not for victory or redemption, but because stopping would mean admitting the darkness has already won. He protects the girl through ambushes, moral horrors, and crushing despair, even as every “safe” place burns and every small mercy is ripped away. The Burden of Ash is a relentless tale of survival and reluctant humanity in a world without salvation. In the spirit of grimdark classics, it explores how far a broken man will go when the only meaning left in his life is the very thing that may destroy him.

How is she supposed to navigate through the pandemic with such a such a dangerous man by her side because deep down she loves him and was low-key devoted to him? ★★★★★ Sheng Yumei stood in front of the full length mirror her bathrobe parted to reveal the upper part of her body. She stood there staring at the hickeys littering her chest. Purple bruises trailed down from her neck to her chest covering her fair skin not leaving a single spot. Her fingers traced the love bites absentmindedly, thoughts circling back to the previous night . Suddenly she flinched at her own behaviour and pulled her hand away as if the marks burned her fingertips. She hated that the fact that she wasn't disgusted by the marks instead she secretly cherished them. Shortly after, the door creaked open and Liu Yong stepped inside,his gaze landed on her. "Busy admiring the hickeys?" He asked in a teasing tone,a smirk tugging at his lips. "Get lost!" She barked covering her body. "Oh I thought I could add a few more," he said innocently pouting his lips. "Keep your disgusting mouth away from me," she scowled. He smirked cockily then taunted in a low deep voice,"But I saw no sign of disgust on your face last night. You even screamed my name excitedly when I bit your neck." "Oh did I? It's just  a bunch of hickeys no big deal. They're not even half of the hickeys the American men used to give me," she retorted,her tone indifferent. His expression shifted,eyes darkening and he walked towards her with long strides and in a second the distance between them was no longer there  and Sheng Yumei didn't know if she was ready for what was coming .
