【Light Version Synopsis】... more>>

Born into poverty, orphaned, and abandoned by his pretty fiancee, our protagonist seems ripe for a standard rags-to-riches story. But fate takes a turn when his fiancee suddenly changes her mind:

“I’m not calling off the engagement! And I’ll cover all living expenses while we live together!”

With nothing to lose, he agrees. But something seems off about his fiancee after one night together…

【Serious Version Synopsis】

As demons wreak havoc across the continent of Divine Land, humanity retreats to sprawling metropolises, barely clinging to survival amidst rising discord.

From north to south, divisions deepen; noble houses and imperial factions clash incessantly; the common folk suffer under oppression; and roving bands of rebels bide their time, ready to upheave the fragile order at a moment’s notice.

Describing this human world in two words?

Utter chaos, a quagmire.

Transmigrated into this world, the frail youth Cheng Jinyang sets two modest goals for himself:

1. To regain his health through physical training.

2. To become stronger!

(Note: As the title suggests, all the heroines in this novel are not quite ‘Normal’.) <<less

The year is 241, Sixth Era. Constantinople trembles under a tempestuous sky.... more>>

Emperor Constantine lies slain, his army shattered on the field of battle. The heretical empire, drunk on victory, has devoured the Eastern territories and now sets its sights on the heart of the empire: Constantinople.

Seventeen-year-old Princess Theodora ascends to the throne, inheriting a realm teetering on the brink of collapse.

Rome is about to fall.

...

The gears of fate spin wildly as a transmigrator materializes on the rain-slicked streets of Constantinople.

"According to the original plot, Constantinople is doomed to fall," he muses.

"Better spirit the Empress away first." <<less

Many years later, Yan Yu, who has earned the title of "the strongest," accepts an interview with a television host.

Host: To achieve today's success, who do you most want to thank?

Yan Yu: I want to thank a woman who is crucial to me.

Host (brightening up): Oh, is she your wise wife?

Yan Yu: No, more like a stepping stone.

Host (awkwardly): Then... what about the other teammates in your team? They must have also helped you, right?

Yan Yu: How could there be only one stepping stone on the path to Immortality? <<less

"So, you’ve been deceiving me all along, haven’t you?" She trembled as she lifted her gaze, only to find that her senior brother’s once-familiar face now seemed terrifyingly foreign.... more>>

"Deception? Hmm, how should I put it?" Her senior brother chuckled dismissively, wagging a finger. "It’s more accurate to say that none of you ever truly understood who I was."

With an air of nonchalance, he turned and strode toward the celestial throne in the sky.

Peerless sword light, raging seas of flames, and radiant silver starlight surged toward his back like a massive tidal wave—yet, as if repelled by an invisible barrier, they were all blocked and dispersed.

Countless spells and brilliant radiance were annihilated in an instant.

"Damn it!" Xu Yinglian bit her silver teeth in frustration, turning to glance at the frost-covered face of An Zhisu and the silent Shi Liuli.

The group quickly exchanged looks. Resentment, despair, sorrow, fear—or even lingering affection and reluctance—had all lost their meaning now.

What mattered most in this moment was stopping that bastard!

Classic cultivation story.

The protagonist uses a "time management" cheat to skillfully infiltrate major sects in the cultivation world, reaping benefits and mastering countless techniques.

Ultimately, he ascends to the celestial throne, achieving immortality.

However, the process of ascending doesn’t seem to be going quite as smoothly… <<less
