Stories about immortals have shaped human history since the beginning of time.
Zeus and other gods of Olympus were immortals. Adam and other early human ancestors were written in religious books as humans who lived up to 900 years old. Adam (930), Set (912), Enos (905), Kenan (910), Yared (962), and the longest-living human in the world which was Methuselah who died at the age of 969.
In the scripture, following the epoch of Noah and the Great Flood, was a period of time where humans, as punished by God because of their evil ways, could no longer live past 120 years old. This had been my basis for writing the story of 'The Alchemists'.
Alchemy is a pseudoscience (considered as not real science) believing that the entire universe is moving toward a perfect state where gold, a metal known for its indestructible properties, is the most perfect substance.
With this principle, alchemists believe that by understanding the secrets of the unchanging gold, they would eventually grasp the key to warding off diseases and organic decay, thus creating humans with physical perfection: the immortals.
 The Alchemists tried to find or come up with the chemical formula for the Philosopher's Stone which functions to convert metals into gold and make the Elixir of Life/Youth,  a drug that cures all kinds of and allows them to live longer than humans in general.
Topics about chemistry, spirituality, and astrology became the focus of medieval alchemy. Until the 18th century, alchemy was considered a serious branch of science in Europe. Isaac Newton devoted much of his time to this field of study.
Other prominent alchemists from the Western world are Roger Bacon, St. Thomas Aquinas, Tycho Brahe, Thomas Browne, and Parmigianino. It was this alchemy that later became the foundation of 18th-century modern Chemistry.
WHAT IF, the alchemists actually succeeded in finding the formula for the immortality potion and restoring the human bodies into their original perfection, so they could be like their ancestors who used to live past 900 years?
This is the story of the Alchemist clan who discovered the elixir of youth and has lived as immortals since 1450, ruling the world from behind the shadows and at the same time spreading rumors that alchemy is a failed science.
Because time was in their hands, these immortals or semi immortals did not rush to find partners and only bore children when they were already hundreds of years old. In their long lives, they learned and gathered so much wisdom and knowledge that no modern humans, who only have dozens of years to do so, could compare.
Because time is in their hands, these perfect humans acquired a different outlook on life and society than today's regular people who tend to rush and pursue temporary pleasures in the modern world.
They became people who have finally found a way to manipulate the elements and make themselves perfect. They now have all the time in the world to do whatever they want, learn whatever they want, and explore wherever their feet could take them.
To conceal themselves from the general public, Alchemists spread rumors that alchemy is a failed science and that all fables about immortal humans are nothing but mere fairy tales. Yet in reality... they are among us, living with us, and ruling the world from the shadows.

WHAT'S IN THIS BOOK SERIES?
In VOLUME 1 (254 chapters), you will be introduced to the Alchemists. The story is light-hearted and heartwarming. I intentionally started the series with romance to put us in a good mood before getting ready for the intense Volume 2.
In VOLUME 2 (350 chapters), you will meet more of the Alchemists and witness their internal conflict for power. This volume is quite intense but also passionate.
Later, we will have light hearted side stories (100 chapters) about the side characters before we continue to Volume 3.
In VOLUME 3 (approx 200 chapters), the Alchemists will face an enemy who found out about their secrets and wanted to destroy them. This will be the most intense part of the series.
Each Volume (except for the side stories) is an independent book, related to one another but can be enjoyed individually. If you like short novels, you can just read per volume. If you are into romance, go for Volume 1, if you like more action and sci-fi go for Volume 2. But if you enjoy reading long novels, you can just read the whole series. It's very flexible.
I could choose to write 3 different novels but opted against it because I am a practical person. Since the stories are connected, why not let readers have the whole series under one title? It is also for ranking purposes. Usually, once a novel is completed, the ranking will drop, I don't want that to happen so soon.
So, please bear with me and give this book a year to reach its final destination, starting in May 2019.  I intentionally only locked it from chapter 176 so you could enjoy so many free chapters and decide if you would like to invest more time and SS to continue reading.
I do hope you'll enjoy the first volume enough to continue to the next one. This book is originally written in Indonesian and most original readers who enjoyed Volume 1, cannot say enough good things about Volume 2.
They said VOLUME 2 is INTENSE, PASSIONATE, HEARTWARMING, and THEY LOVE THE ENDING!
I think the current original rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 2,800 reviews should speak for itself (you can see my author page and check the original version in Indonesian).
Thank you for giving this book a chance. Enjoy!


*How do immortals live in the modern world? One had been walking the earth for 438 years without ever falling in love. The other one couldn't get over the only woman he loved, even after 100 years.

**What happen when an immortal didn't know he was immortal? After living for almost a century, he still looked like he was 25. So, he thought maybe... maybe he was a freak, a victim of human experimentation during Hitler's time. Growing up, he came to hate humans and their fondness for war and destroying nature. He swore to one day rule the world and decide on which humans got to live. In his book, 'only the good, the strong and the intelligent should live'.

***The wealthiest tycoon was an immortal who was raised in the ivory tower by his overprotective parents. One day he decided to go undercover as poor photographer to make friends with regular people. Alas! Scheming people tricked him to sleep with the most notorious golddiger in Berlin whose only goal in life was to marry a wealthy and powerful man. When she was pregnant with his child, the undercover tycoon wanted to take responsibility but still pretending to be poor. Will he finally let her know that he was wealthy? Why was she so adamant to marry a wealthy and powerful man?

THIS BOOK HAS 3 DIFFERENT STORIES. They are connected, but you can read them as standalone.

1. The Alchemist
2. Aleksis & Prince Siegfried
3. Secret Identity


Volume 1 has fluffy romance, Volume 2 has action/adventure, Volume 3 has comedy, and Volume 4 is a revenge/redemption drama.

[ a pair of pure, strong women and strong men, pampering literature without abuse, good literature with abuse. ]
She was the only surviving immortal cultivator in modern times. A Hundred Years had passed, and a lightning tribulation had accidentally reincarnated on the body of a young girl in the 1980s and 1950s. Forget it, forget it, since I've come, I'll just take it as it is!
Her family was very poor. Her parents did not like it, and her sister did not like it. She did not take it to heart. There were top-grade relatives outside, so she took advantage of everything.
Because of an accident, she was helped by a certain noble man, and from then on, she was pestered.
The first time they met, a certain man felt that Ji Yunxi was very cute.
The second time they met, a certain man felt that Ji Yunxi was a fox.
The third time they met, a certain man felt that he had fallen in love with her.
Then he pestered her!
The female protagonist's principles were not evil, not saintly. People respected me, I respected others, and if anyone offended me, they would be punished.
This was Feifei's new novel, and it was also mainly about modern romance. I hope that everyone will support it I don't know how many people will support it, but it's right to work hard. Thank you to the readers of this book, Oh, thank you The new book above, is still Shuangwen, male and female protagonist Shuangjie.


She was a combination of a high iq scholar and a black-bellied prince charming. She was a one-on-one, two-on-one, two-on-one, absolutely refreshing, and she was welcome to jump into the pit.
She was a young and famous physicist from a future world.
He was the eldest son of a modern wealthy family.
When she was in a plane crash and became a modern-day second-generation girl, she was proficient in drinking. She was also ranked last in her studies. At home, her elder sister did not love her, her younger brother hated her, and her parents did not care.
In the circle of Friends of the rich second generation, they also looked down on this idiot.
He was noble and elegant, the idol of all women.
It was said that Qian Shuishui was a bad student, and her mind was empty every day.
It was said that Qian Shuishui was a bad girl, playing with boys'emotions
It was said that Qian Shuishui was a bad girl, and she was good at eating, drinking, and playing.
Then please tell me, who is this woman in front of me, leisurely drinking coffee, and reading the physics report in a foreign language with great interest?

I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!! saranghae! <3
Thank you for supporting my book. I know there are a lot of grammar lapses and plot loopholes here and there in this story. But I promise that I'll make it a lot better over time.
Well technically, this will be my first ever book so I believe it is pretty normal not to have a great work at first try. HEHE!
Anyways, if you see any loopholes or anything that needs improvement and correction, feel free to comment. It will be highly appreciated. To tell you honestly guys, whenever I'm running out of ideas, what I do is I read chapter comments. 'Coz whenever I saw someone commenting on my updates, I feel so delighted. It makes me feel like someone out there can see my worth, and my effort is not going waste.
So shout out to those who used to give me some word of advice through the chapter comment box. You make my story a lot better and make my writing journey happier and more interactive. Thanks a lot, guys!!! I really hope that you'll gonna stay with me and continue to accompany Lingxi and Janus throughout their adventure as we try to work on this whole magic thing.
And have you noticed??? I recently changed the title from LEARNING HOW TO BE A SORCERESS into SORCERESS 101... I hope it was a change for the better. HIHI
In the meantime, that would be all. Thank you again, everyone!
God bless! (^_<) MUAH! MUAH! Y (*^_^*) Y
Lovingly yours,
Wolf's Bane

This is the story of Mu Lingxi, a hopeless romantic teenage girl from the 21st century who transmigrated to another world after falling to her death. Together with her little black cat Janus, she began to traverse an unfamiliar world where warlocks and sorceress exist.

Due to a few unexpected turns of events, she ended up being engaged with a prince.
But she strongly believes in Queen Elsa's words before from the movie FROZEN,
"You cannot marry a man you just met once!"
and this was why she highly objected to the marriage arrangement.
She even chose to cross dress just to hide her identity!

On her journey to learn the way of magic, she got herself entangled with five young handsome men. Together they will venture the world of magic, love, and friendship.

"Living in a place different from where I came from, how will I survive???

How could a hopeless romantic girl like me cope up with a life surrounded by five beautiful young men???

Will I be able to hide my true identity until the end??"

"MEOW~"
[Oh c'mon, little lass. Why are you asking yourself that??? You sound so rhetoric....
It's not for you to say, but for them to find out by themselves]

Title: Yes, I am a Villainess.
Genre: Reincarnation, Fantasy, Romance, Comedy, Friendship.

Sypnosis: 

A thousand year old which living in the modern world suddenly gets transfered to the world of novel while working on a spell. Not only does she goes inside the book she takes in 2 innocent girls along with her. Soon the witch realises that she is the main villain of the novel "Isabella DeCruz" and the and 1 from the 2 girls is one the female lead while the other one is just an extra.    

Soon they realise that the book that they are living in, is not actually same one. It's going different. 

The other 2 female leads are not so sweet and nice, the male leads have some issues, the Villainess was made a villain and the side character is more than a side character. 

"If they want me to be the villain, then I will be a worse than a villain."

"Extra Character my foot, I will become more important than the main leads."

"Main Lead destined to marry the Prince? Come on I have better job to do."

"We will not be tied up by some stupid book!"

In regards to the story I've realized that there are some things that might be a bit confusing to the readers so i'm going to clarify them here instead of forcing these details into the story.

Pacing-

The book is pretty fast-paced because I suck at transitions but I'll try my best to make sure everything that needs to be explained gets an explanation. With that being said, Ill welcome any questions you guys might put in the comment section and ill try to get to them as soon as I see them. 
Plotline-

The actual story starts in the last chapter of volume one and goes into volume two. However, Cerin's real life story starts in volume three. I would suggest reading volume two because volume one was just how the others passed away but volume two actually shows their personalities and how they influence the MC. 
As the author, I would insist that you guys try to get through volume two but to get a feel of the actual story I would suggest getting to the middle of volume three before making the call. Volume One was fun to write but it doesn't really have much to do with the story. 
Place and time:
The characters are mostly in the modern world but ill avoid making any real-life references as its a personal peeve of mine whenever I see them in novels. The customs and stuff are kind of all over the place and whatever I found cool while I was writing it so I don't think you'll need any background knowledge to understand the character's actions, but if I think you do I'll make sure it's clearly explained. 
There is magic in the world but the majority of people cannot use it and do not know about it. The direction I want to take the magic in my fictional world is a sort of hidden world within the world. 

Different Cerins:
The Cerins when there are multiple of them will be referred to as their number of seniority which is decided by the order in which they arrived in the jade star.
While the Ninth ( the MC) lives out her life she DOES NOT have contact with the other Cerins, save for a few special occurrences, but she does have their memories and she can fully master their skills  through special actions.

Genre-
This is mainly a slice of life with a bit of wish fulfillment but not a lot of face slapping cause its tiresome to write. There might be a bit of romance in the future but there definitively wont be any for a while as the MC barely has enough of a personality in the beginning to support herself, never mind a significant other in person to person interactions. There is also the fact that I don't think I'm that great at writing romance so I tend to avoid it. 
As well there is a hint of a game elements that comes into play while she gains the different Cerin's skills. as well as a fantasy element when it comes to mastering the skills of a particular cerin...more detail in the book though.....(Hopefully. if not, ill update this place.)

Update speed-

Honestly whenever I get to it. I enjoy writing and I try to do it as much as possible but I couldn't do it if I thought of it as a responsibility since I already have so many of them irl so please be understaqnding. 
>.<

If there any other questions feel free to leave a comment and i'll address them asap and if there are enough repeat questions I'll put them in here. :)

The first was a successful career woman with a shameful past.

 The second was a famous  musician with an awful personality. 

The third was a short tempered martial artist  born in the wrong time period. 

The fourth was a misunderstood girl forced on to the wrong path to become a witch.

 The fifth was  a doctor with a deceptive personality.

 The sixth was a lazy girl with paradoxical ambition to be a fashion designer. 

The seventh was a single minded chef from a family of gourmets.

 The eighth was hard working judge with a frozen heart. 

The ninth came after the eighth deaths of the same named women and her story has only just begun. 

" On all of your behalfs, I will live on."

"Your dad is my best friend," Keeley said simply, unable to explain the full truth.
Violet rolled her eyes. "Well yeah, he is now but it wasn't like you were friends first. I've known Noah since we were both in diapers. That's not romantic at all."
She was going off of the romance novel and chick flick version of romance. It had to be big and flashy and over the top for it to be real. But love could be simple and sweet too.
Noah's affection was definitely more of the simple and sweet variety. So Violet, who loved reading about all of the big and flashy stuff, would easily overlook it.
Keeley's heart really went out to the kid. But she had to be on her daughter's side here; it was the principle of the thing.
"I'm sure you'll get the romance you're hoping for someday. Even if it doesn't come in the way you expect."
Violet tilted her head in confusion. "You sound like you're speaking from experience."
She laughed. Goodness knows she hadn't expected to marry the same man twice, especially after how he treated her the first time.
But Keeley was glad everything happened exactly the way it did. She wouldn't love Aaron the way she did now if not for everything they had been through together. Fate was never wrong. Things happened as they were supposed to.
"I always thought I would marry someone normal," she said with a shrug. "Not somebody whose name was known by everyone in the city. But the heart wants what it wants and ultimately it wanted your father. I don't regret my choice."
A thoughtful expression appeared on Violet's face as she went back to her book. She was digesting what her mother said.
At that moment Aaron came back, soaking wet from the waves, and picked his wife up unexpectedly. She screeched in surprise and protested because she wanted to read but he wasn't having any of it.
"Our sons ditched me so you're coming with me now," he said simply.
"Aaron! Put me down!"
"Nope."
He ended up marching all the way into the waves with her over his shoulder and made her swim around with him. Violet peeked over the cover of her book to watch with a fond and amused smile on her face.
That. That was the kind of romance she wanted someday. She wanted someone who loved her so much that they never wanted to be apart from her for even a second.
===
Kaleb ended up spending the majority of the vacation hanging out with other teenagers who were also avoiding their families. Violet felt a pit in her stomach every time she watched him leave. It felt oddly personal.
She ended up spending a lot of time with her parents and younger brothers. Floating down the lazy river, going on the water slides, and hanging out on the beach. She even went to the spa with her mom at one point.
"Ah, it's been a while," Keeley sighed happily as the masseuse worked her magic.
"Have you even heard of a thing called self-care, Mom?" 
"We're old friends. Very old. Haven't been in contact for a while," she joked.
Violet merely shook her head in dismay. Her mother was going to work herself to death one of these days.
"Seriously, are you ever going to relax?"
"When my treatment gets approved by the FDA, probably," Keeley admitted. 
She really did care way too much about her brother. Though Violet could relate. Her current issues with her brother had consumed her entire life.
Getting approved by the FDA would take years. Her mother hadn't even moved to the second phase of the approval process yet. By the time it happened, Violet might very well be out of high school. Was she seriously not going to relax until then?
"Dad's going to make you quit if you work too hard," she predicted.
Keeley shook her head. "No, he supports my research dreams more than anyone. He wouldn't do that."
Sometimes Violet wondered how her father could be so overprotective of his wife but still let her run herself into the ground. By all means, it didn't make sense.
Passion ran in her family's blood. Her mother was passionate about her research. Her father was passionate about her mother. Kaleb was passionate about baseball and Oliver was passionate about outer space. Nathan hadn't found his passion yet but once he did, they would all have one.
Hers was dance. It was the only time she felt like she could truly express herself in front of others. Ballet wasn't all about grace and elegance. She had seen some choreographed modern ballet that was as fierce and choppy as it was beautiful.
Sometimes she felt like classical ballet suited her. Other times the raw excitement of contemporary ballet matched her mood better. Either way, ballet was an art form where she could get all of her feelings out.
If her mother felt anywhere as strongly about her research as Violet did about ballet, she could understand why she would work herself to death. And if her father loved her mother enough to understand that, of course he would let her get away with it.
"I want to take driver's ed," Violet announced.
She wouldn't be able to physically get her learner's permit until September because you had to be fifteen and a half but she wanted to start the process. Being able to drive would allow her mother some breathing room.
"I can sign you up as soon as we get home," Keeley said with a yawn. The massage was making her sleepy.
Good. Violet wanted to be more self-sufficient. She also wanted to be more useful to the ones she loved. Noah wasn't the only one who felt like he didn't do enough. Maybe if she was more useful she could convince them that she was enough, even if she did fail.
Maybe if she wasn't so needy Kaleb would want her around again. If she could do everything he used to do for her by herself…wouldn't he come back and be her best friend again?


Keeley, a simple plain Jane, hits the jackpot.  [No, she did not win the lottery!]  At least that's what she thinks when she marries the most eligible bachelor in New York City: Aaron, a wealthy cold-hearted heartthrob and Tycoon. 

She wants to show the world that she deserves her position and bends over  backward to fit into his world.

One beautiful day, Aaron hands her a document asking her to sign.  A divorce paper...

"She's pregnant, and I need to take responsibility."

That is the last thing that keeps on playing in her mind before she takes her last breath.

Keeley dies, a 'hit and run'. [End of story.  Not!]

For some unexplainable reason, she wakes up as her younger self.  A young high school girl, around the time when she first meets her cheating husband.

Remembering her life with Aaron before she died, she makes a promise to herself that she will do everything in her power to avoid him at all costs.

Will she be able to keep her promise when Aaron has his own plans as well, specifically for her?  Or will she repeat history and fall for him once more...

Why not journey with me and find out the truth behind their story.

(This is bl/yaoi/danmei btw)

Right after Gun-Ho got off the phone with Jae-Sik Moon, he received another call from President Jeong-Sook Shin.
"Sir, this is Jeong-Sook Shin. I've heard that President Min-Hyeok Kim is having a wedding in Korea soon."
"That's right. What about it?"
"So, his father-in-law and mother-in-law will come to Korea to attend the wedding, right?"
"Of course. Why don't you come to the wedding too?"
"Absolutely. I will be there. I just want to talk to his father-in-law who is a painter."
"Mr. Ding Feng? Why do you want to see him?"
"I am thinking of having his solo art exhibition in Korea. I am talking about the art exhibition of the master of northern school literati paintings—Mr. Ding Feng with GH Media's name."
"His solo art exhibition? That could make money?"
"I believe so, and that's why I am suggesting this to you, sir. Mr. Ding Feng's paintings are so great that people will like them a lot. You paid 550,000 won for his painting yourself too. We can have his solo art exhibition in Korea, and we sell his painting about the same size for 1,500,000 won. That could be a very lucrative business. I believe we can at least cover the rent for the venue and the fees we charge."
"I was told that the oriental paintings are not so popular these days. Do you really think people will pay that much for his paintings?"
"It is true that we will have to take some risk. But that's how we make money in business, isn't it?"
"Haha. You sound more businessman than I am who is currently running an actual business. Well, I will support you on this. Do what you have to do."
"Thank you, sir. I think it's better that you talk to President Min-Hyeok Kim about this first. So he is aware that I want to have his father-in-law's art exhibition in Korea."
"No problem. I will do that."
After getting off the phone with President Shin, Gun-Ho grumbled about President Shin's art exhibition idea.
"I doubt it will be lucrative at all. She is trying to do all those work for small money. Say, we bring his paintings, about 30 of them, and we sell each for 1,500,000 won. Assuming we could sell all of the 30 paintings, we would make only 45 million won. We will have to give half of the sales revenue to the painter, and we are bearing the rent for the exhibition venue and marketing cost. We won't be left with much in the end. Hmm. It's a waste of our labor and time. Let me think about how I can turn this into a lucrative business… Maybe I can make some connection with Seukang Li."
 
Gun-Ho made a phone call to Min-Hyeok Kim first.
"Hey, President Shin of GH Media wants to meet with your father-in-law after your wedding."
"President Jeong-Sook Shin? For what?"
"She wants to have Mr. Ding Feng's art exhibition in Korea with his oriental paintings."
"Really? I will talk to my father-in-law."
"Can we tell him that Seukang Li recommended this to us?"
"Well, why not? By the way, the international book exhibition in Shanghai is a success. I read a newspaper article about it and it says that so many young people came to the book exhibition to get the pamphlet for the performance to be held at the sports complex."
"Really? That's good to know."
"Young people are so crazy about the Korean top star—Seol-Bing—and Chinese top star—Ye Long. They both will do the performance there. The news about the performance is everywhere on the Internet."
"If it's a sports complex, it can accommodate a vast number of people, right?"
"I believe they can accommodate more than 10,000 people. The ticket for that kind of performance is very expensive too. If they could get 10,000 people, how much money would they make? Wow. Moreover, it's not a one-day performance, right? They will do it for a few days."
"Hmmm. The entertainment business can be highly lucrative."
 
"Oh, and there is a news article about President Jeong-Sook Shin in the Shanghai newspaper. I made a newspaper clipping."
"Really? What does it say about her?"
"Let me read this for you."
"Yeah. Read it to me."
"Shanghai's international book exhibition had a grand opening at the People's Park exhibition hall. Twenty-six national and international publishing companies participated in it. The book exhibition had drawn a lot of attention from people even before it opened its door to the public. The book exhibition was successful even from the opening day by making sales contracts. The French publishing company—Nantes purchased publication right of a children's storybook, and the Italian publishing company—Verona purchased a novel. Additionally, a Korean publishing company—GH Media made a contract for its publishing right of history books.
GH Media's president—Ms. Jeong-Sook Shin stated that she was certain that the Chinese history books will be very popular in Korea because of the close historical relationship between the two countries: China and Korea. GH Media purchased three Chinese history books."
"Haha. As far as I know, President Shin didn't even talk to any journalist while we were in Shanghai. I can't believe they just made up things like that and put it in the newspaper."
"Do you want me to go on reading it further?"
"Nah. That's enough."
"Well, then, I will talk to my father-in-law about his art exhibition and will let you know."
 
Gun-Ho then made a call to Seukang Li.
"Hey, I heard so many people came to the book exhibition."
"That's right. I was so worried that we wouldn't have enough traffic there. But you can say it was a success. I do appreciate you, President Goo. Distributing the performance pamphlet at the book exhibition was an excellent idea."
 
"You're very welcome, friend. It's actually a return of your hard work."
"So many young people came. I didn't know Korean celebrities are so popular among Chinese youths. It helped our sales too. Chinese cartoon books and romance books were sold substantially."
"Those books' publishing companies must be very happy."
"Of course."
"Oh, you know what? After visiting the book exhibition, we went to see Mr. Ding Feng's art exhibition that was being held around the same area. He was having an art exhibition with his oriental paintings."
"Oh, he did? I do like his paintings. My father knows him personally. I believe I have his painting at home. Oh, isn't he President Min-Hyeok's father-in-law?"
"That's right. You must have seen him at Min-Hyeok's wedding. By the way, President Shin of GH Media really likes his paintings, and she wants to have his solo art exhibition in Korea."
"Really?"
"We could get connected with the painter this way because of you, Seukang Li. If it wasn't for your book exhibition, I wouldn't have visited his art exhibition."
"If Mr. Ding Feng's art exhibition succeeds in Korea, can you let me know? Since I am in charge of the art field in Shanghai, I'd really like to know how it goes."
"Sure, will do."
"If his art exhibition is successful, I want to try an art exhibition of Chinese young painters with their modern paintings."
"Really? That sounds really good too."
"And also, if Mr. Ding Feng's art exhibition is confirmed to be held in Korea, please let me know. I will inform the press here that the famous Korean publishing company which participated in our international book exhibition will hold a solo art exhibition in Korea with the Chinese painter—Mr. Ding Feng. And also saying that they discovered Mr. Ding Feng's fascinating paintings when they visited his exhibition in Shanghai after visiting our book exhibition."
"Sounds good. I will let you know."
 
After getting off the phone with Seukang Li, Gun-Ho was thinking,
'If we do an art exhibition with Chinese young painters' modern paintings, that can turn into a lucrative business in Korea. Is President Jeong-Sook Shin aiming it? Because she knows that I have a personal and close relationship with Director Li of the bureau of cultural affairs and arts in Shanghai. If so, she is a very smart businesswoman. Oh, that's right. I was told that she worked as a curator in an art museum when she was in her 30s."

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.
