The world only knows that Xiao Yang and Qin Fei fought over the position of Sect Master of the Azure Sun Sword Sect for a thousand years. Yet, only Xiao Yang truly understands just how despicable, shameless, insidious, and ruthless Qin Fei is.... more>>

Why? Because Qin Fei is the young master of the Demonic Sect, a spy planted by them.

However, no one, not even his master, parents, junior martial sister, younger sister, or any of his fellow disciples, believed Xiao Yang. Everyone chose to believe Qin Fei.

Everyone condemned Xiao Yang, claiming he was jealous of Qin Fei, accusing him of slandering and framing Qin Fei.

Qin Fei was simply too good at pretending. He feigned a pitiful background, acted weak, and staged being bullied, gaining people’s pity, sympathy, and protection. With his innate Dao physique, he was hailed as the chosen one of the heavens.

Fine, in this second life, Xiao Yang resolved to show the world how this so-called “chosen one” would massacre the Azure Sun Sword Sect, use the blood of cultivators across the world to break the seal of the Abyss of Demons, and plunge the entire world into a living hell for the demon race! <<less

He was precocious from birth. By the age of seven or eight, he already had some clear personal rules. However, during his five years at the Twin Immortals Sect, he hardly ever did anything willingly. So, after gaining his freedom, he strived to make sure everything he did aligned with his wishes and made him feel at peace. This wasn't an easy task, but he enjoyed it immensely. ... more>>

It's true that he pursued immortality. But the immortality he sought, or rather, yearned for, was nothing like the ruthless and cruel immortality of the Twin Immortals, Zi Lei and Chi Yin. Nor was it the petty and sordid kind sought by the Sun Light Sect or the Thousand Spirit Gate.

Many times, he would do things that seemed inexplicable to others: unrelated to morality, unrelated to profit, unrelated to right or wrong, good or evil. There was only one sufficient reason behind all this: immortality encompasses all meaningful pursuits.

I have a mirror, reflecting the mountains and rivers of the universe;
I have a sword, cutting through the realms of human hearts and ghosts;
I have a city, seated among the clouds of the Nine Heavens;
I have a heart, smiling through the trials on the path to immortality.

Why do people seek immortality? Because immortality embraces all desires and signifies infinite possibilities. <<less

After becoming the Emperor of the Demon Realm Empire, he realized something.... more>>

‘Come to think of it, wasn’t this supposed to be a hero story?’

Defeating the Demon King is a classic cliché of hero tales.

The Demon King, as expected, is inevitably doomed to die.

‘If you can’t beat them, join them.’

…Maybe I should start with establishing diplomatic relations? <<less

Zhou An woke up one morning as the Emperor of the Qianyuan Empire. He initially thought he could revel in the company of beautiful women and wield absolute power over the world.... more>>

However, he discovered he was merely a puppet emperor, a pawn used by the Empress Dowager to maintain stability before her own ascension to the throne. He was expendable, liable to be discarded at any moment.

On the empire's borders, foreign tribes were restless, taking advantage of the new emperor's lack of authority, perceived weakness, and the ensuing chaos within the court and the country to invade. They clamored to execute the "incompetent ruler" and "save" the people of Qianyuan from their plight.

Demons wreaked havoc, ghosts ran rampant, sects proliferated, and righteous-demonic wars ravaged the land, causing widespread suffering.

Zhou An activated his cheat, the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Lighting up the harem map, he obtained the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Records.

Lighting up the main palace map, he obtained the Qianyuan Dragon Armor.

Lighting up the Eastern Palace map, he obtained the Son of Heaven Swordplay.

Lighting up the Western Palace map, he obtained the Universe Steps.

Lighting up the entire imperial palace map, he obtained the True Dragon Energy. <<less

Xia Fengguang was forced to transmigrate into several novels. ... more>>

In the CEO novel, the female lead was a young, ordinary university student while the male lead was the devilish king of business.

In the Jianghu novel, the female lead was the energetic and adorable medical genius specializing in poison while the male lead was the vicious demonic sect leader.

In the fantasy novel, the female lead went from being a useless daughter of a second wife to a cultivating genius that is only seen once every thousand years while the male lead was the demon king who is cold to everyone but warm to only one person…

As for her, she is the male lead’s fiancee who is a great beauty and has a great family background, but no matter which world she is in, she will never receive the male lead’s affection. Xia Fengguang finds this laughable. A genius who doesn’t get along with society, the enemy country’s emperor who has a poisonous tongue, a playboy crown prince, a medical sage who appears serious on the outside but is frivolous inside… Aren’t all these men already more interesting than the male lead?

(The male lead’s moral values are not normal, please read with caution.) <<less

Successfully invited to the debaucherous Joyous Union Sect with its super-low entry requirements and countless beautiful female disciples, Jiangming thought that the springtime of his life would soon come!... more>>

However, as he confirmed joining the sect proper, his martial senior brother told him the devastating fine print that shook his heavens.

As the applicants’ gender ratio was extremely skewed every year, with an excess of male cultivators, all the men who failed the yearly sect exams would be transformed into women, serving as next term’s junior sisters!

According to authoritative statistics, the percentage of these new junior sisters falling into carnal depravity was up to ninety-nine percent!

The Joyous Union witches were known worldwide for their beauty, each a soft flower akin to a brocade. How many amongst those delicate charming lasses were originally strapping young lads?

In order to avoid becoming the next ‘delicate charming lass’ himself, Jiangming would do anything, including practicing despicable artes, setting up his martial sisters, leading on his senior brothers……However, he eventually realised the dangers hidden in the sect were even worse than previously thought.

Deep dark ♂ duels that forced the loser to transform and fall in love with the winner.

Heavenly Tribulation that polymorphed you into a succubus if you failed to resist.

Unexpectedly, the Great Dao Golden List appeared out of nowhere.

Those who are listed on the Golden List will all receive rewards from the Great Dao.

The first time, the Divine Sword List, first place, the Divine Dragon Sword; second place, the Peerless Good Sword…

Ying Zheng: "What? My Heavenly Question didn't make the top ten? The holders of the top ten are all Martial Gods?"

The second time, the Military Unit List, first place, the Undying Divine Soldiers, second place, the Invisible Ghost Soldiers…

Meng Tian: "How is it possible? My Golden Fire Cavalry didn't make the top ten? Not a single unit of the empire made the top ten?"

The third time, the Incomparable Beauty List, first place, Yan Ling Ji, second place, Xue Nu, third place…

The fourth time, the Assassin List, first place, Yan Fei, second place, Jing Ni, third place…

"My heavens, the top ten on the Incomparable Beauty List are actually the top ten on the Assassin List, using beauty to kill?"

As the lists were announced one by one, Zhao Wu's identity as the Martial God could no longer be hidden!

And everyone was shocked to discover...

The newly crowned First Emperor of Qin, Ying Zheng, finds his ambitious plans for an eternal empire challenged by the appearance of the One That Escaped and its lists. As swordsmen and strategists alike scramble to claim a spot on the "Divine Sword List," the world is introduced to the enigmatic Martial God, a figure seemingly capable of wielding all the power the lists offer. However, while the world is focused on the Martial God, Zhao Wu, a seemingly lazy and hedonistic young man, is revealed to be at the heart of the changes, not only possessing several of the highest-ranked swords, but also a hidden connection to the Martial God.

As the lists continue to appear, revealing not only swords, but also military units, and even the potential for immortality, the world descends into a frenzy of ambition and conflict. Zhao Wu, surrounded by powerful allies and peerless beauties, finds himself unwillingly thrust into the center of this maelstrom. While others scheme for power and immortality, Zhao Wu is content with a life of leisure, but the world insists on changing around him.

From the halls of the Qin Imperial Court to the secret lairs of the Hundred Schools of Thought, the appearance of the lists ignites a firestorm of ambition, revealing hidden agendas and long-forgotten grudges. The world is forced to grapple with new realities and face the possibility that the old order is about to be completely overturned. Can Ying Zheng maintain his hold on power? Can Zhao Wu avoid the responsibility that the lists have thrust upon him? And what is the true nature of the One That Escaped, this force that can seemingly rewrite fate itself? <<less

In the dusty streets of Duanshan City, where the clang of the blacksmith's hammer marks the rhythm of daily life, a young apprentice named Hua Kong, derisively called "Little Beggar," moves iron ore and dreams of little more than a full belly and perhaps, one day, a wife. Literate but lacking scholarly ambition, his world is confined to the forge, the sweat, and the simple struggles of a mortal life in a realm seemingly untouched by myth or magic. He is practical, resilient, and perhaps possesses a spark of ingenuity unrecognized even by himself.

But fate has a peculiar way of finding the unremarkable. A fleeting encounter with a desperate Old Beggar, a strange barter involving scraps of venison offal for a tattered, unassuming booklet—this single, seemingly insignificant event becomes the catalyst for a destiny Hua Kong could never have imagined. The booklet, dismissed as a simple health guide, holds secrets that ripple outwards, drawing the attention of imperial princes, celestial cultivators, and forces from worlds brimming with spiritual energy and unimaginable power.

Dragged from his mundane existence, Hua Kong is thrust into a universe of cultivation, immortal sects, treacherous politics, and cosmic conflicts spanning multiple realms. Armed initially with little more than his wits, his blacksmith's skills, and the cryptic guidance of the "Tian Yuan Qi Guiding Art," he must navigate treacherous paths where his low birth and perceived lack of talent make him an easy target. Yet, within the "Little Beggar" lies an unexpected talent for creation and an unwavering will forged in hardship.

How will this youth, plucked from obscurity, survive and thrive in worlds where power is paramount? Can his unique blend of earthly ingenuity and nascent cultivation carve a path through realms of immortals, demons, and ancient dragons? "Cattle and Horse Youth" is the sprawling saga of Hua Kong's ascent, a journey from the forge's fire to the heart of celestial conflict, proving that even the humblest beginnings can lead to the grandest destinies. <<less

Shi Miao transmigrated into a novel about the sadistic love between a master and his disciple.... more>>

However, she neither transmigrated as the Mary Sue heroine nor as the vicious female supporting role. Instead, she transmigrated as a cat, and the cat of the villain boss on top of that.

Although the crazy big boss was unstable and moody, he pampered her very much.

Just like that, Shi Miao happily enjoyed her time as a cat in the Devil World. She enjoyed delicious food and drink every day, and there were servants to tend her. Her life was very happy.

It was just that the villain was too good to her. Not only did he bring her when killing people or when traveling, he also brought her with him everywhere he went. He even stole books from the Immortal World and forced her to practice them.

Shi Miao: There is no need to go that far...

I really just want to be a little cat QAQ

As a young servant, Gu An accidentally broke a pot containing a spiritual flower. While he was panicking, he discovered that he had absorbed twelve years of lifespan from it! ... more>>

Thus began Gu An's journey to immortality.

To cultivate safely, Gu An chose to become a servant disciple in the Taixuan Sect, where he planted medicinal herbs daily to consume their lifespan and enhance his own cultivation.

He continuously evolved his basic skills with his evolution skill until they became divine abilities.

Eras passed, stars shifted, and the world changed.

Legends of immortals began to circulate.

Gu An, now an immortal, spent half of his lifespan to push his cultivation beyond the limits of immortality and achieved the saint realm and stood above the heavenly Dao.

However, one day, an old man in white robes, who looked like a true immortal, visited Gu An.

"I am the Celestial Lord Xuanqing from the heavens. The Great Emperor Taihao has heard of your numerous good deeds in the mortal realm. You have repeatedly saved countless lives and have accrued great merits. He has specially dispatched me to invite you to join the ranks of immortals and assume the celestial position of Divine Steed Officer."

"Dare I ask, what the duties of the Divine Steed Officer arre?"

"The Heavenly Court possesses divine horses capable of traversing heaven and earth and move between yin and yang. The Divine Steed Officer is responsible for overseeing and feeding these horses."

After transmigrating into a book, I fell in love with Ling Aorui, the one I was supposed to win over.... more>>

She was the heroine—powerful, beautiful, noble, and pure. She had almost no flaws, except for her blindness. After losing her sight, she became insecure and sensitive, and I saved her from several su*cide attempts.

I made a deal with the system to cure her eyes. The price was a shortened lifespan—I wouldn't live more than ten years.

I wasn't afraid. She said she would marry me and share a life-linking bond with me.

But I overestimated her love for me.

After her eyes were healed, she returned to the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm. The young masters from noble families who had previously ignored her now flocked to curry favor. This included Hua Jiaolian, the demonic sect’s enchantress who had once been her sworn enemy.

The two of them fought from morning till night, and then from night till morning. Eventually, when the enchantress was on the brink of death, she pulled Ling Aorui in by the waist and planted a retaliatory kiss on her.

Ling Aorui’s eyes widened.

It was melodramatic, bizarre, a freak coincidence—the enchantress didn't die. Instead, Ling Aorui planted a life-linking bond in her, and she moved into Ruiqing Palace, which was supposed to be our marital home.

She said to me, "I'm sorry, Qingqing."

"I do love you, but I can't abandon her."

She stayed by the enchantress's bedside, caring for her meticulously, attending to her every need.

I thought, So, she is capable of loving someone. Then what were we before?

I leaped off the Immortal Execution Platform. When I woke up again, I was back on the day I first transmigrated. The system was chattering endlessly. I stopped it and said, "Forget it. I want to choose someone else."

Yu Yan had ascended a thousand years ago. Now, with nothing much happening in the Celestial Realm, she secretly transformed into a mere cultivator and went to the Immortal Realm to take a look.

Although it was an incarnation, it had a proper background. She was the long-reclusive mighty figure, Immortal Lord Minghuai. This Immortal Lord was famous for cultivating the Path of Heartlessness. With a frosty demeanor, calm and self-possessed, she disliked getting involved with others the most.

This suited her requirements perfectly: immortals and mortals should keep their distance, and she should maintain her purity.

Who knew that not long after she arrived, a voice came from the Celestial Realm.

—Because she had descended to the mortal world without permission, she had to undergo a love trial before she could return.

P.S. The main story is in the third person. <<less

Yuan Ji transmigrated into a xianxia novel as a minor river deity—low status, weak divine powers, and stuck cleaning up the "tr*sh" those cultivators kept dumping into her waters. Life was miserable.... more>>

Then one day, the original novel's male lead—cornered by enemies at the edge of the Forgotten River—shouted in despair, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years—"

Before he could finish, a rain of high-grade spiritual artifacts crashed onto his head, knocking him out cold.

Yuan Ji, who had just finished tossing her latest batch of "tr*sh," froze in horror. But to her shock, the male lead woke up, kowtowed fervently, and cried, "Many thanks, Senior, for saving this unworthy one! I pledge my life to your service!"

Yuan Ji: "……What?"

Later, the novel’s genius swordsman—mortally wounded and sinking into the Forgotten River—felt his soul fading… until a flash of white light saved him. He awoke to see the demonic beast that had hunted him now roasting over a fire, tended by a stunningly beautiful girl.

"Senior," he gasped, "this one begs to become your disciple!"

Yuan Ji, who had only fished him out to prevent blood pollution: "……Huh?!"

One afternoon, while dutifully dredging for tr*sh, Yuan Ji fished out a man in crimson robes—his aura so transcendent, he might as well have been an immortal descended from the heavens.

She stared.

…Was the universe delivering her a wife?

Backing away in alarm, Yuan Ji blurted, "Excuse you—I’m a proper river god!"

Meanwhile, rumors spread across the cultivation sects:

"Deep in the dreaded Forgotten River dwells this realm’s one true deity—a being of unfathomable power. The Chosen One, the Sword Prodigy, even the Beast Taming Maverick… all kneel as her disciples."

"Even the tyrannical Demonic Cultivator Sovereign, who bows to no one, hides by her side in disguise—all to gain her wisdom."

When Yuan Ji overheard this, she nearly choked. "No, no, NO! Stop spreading nonsense! I’m just a respectable river deity!" <<less
