Xie Wan was a legend.... more>>

Born in a general's manor, she was skilled in both literary and martial arts from a young age. Despite being a woman, she only ever dreamed of one day going to the battlefield to protect her home and country.

But with a single imperial decree, she was summoned into the palace to marry the female Emperor and become an imperial consort.

Four years later, the female Emperor passed away.

When enemy forces invaded, Xie Wan donned armor and went into battle. When treacherous officials plotted rebellion, Xie Wan seized power and executed them.

Everyone thought Xie Wan would become the new Emperor, but until her death, she never sought the throne.

Regarding this, Xie Wan only wanted to say: Being an emperor is truly exhausting.

...

Who would have thought, after being reborn...

She became the female Emperor.

That's right, she was reborn as the female Emperor—that sickly female Emperor.

Xie Wan: This is terrible, I don't have many years left to live.

The female official in charge of the name tiles arrived late—

"Your Majesty, today is the day Consort Wan enters the palace. Would you like to go and see?"

Xie Wan's body stiffened in disbelief, "Who?"

"Your Majesty, it is Consort Wan. The legitimate eldest daughter of General Xie's family, Xie Wan," the female official said respectfully.

Xie Wan: ???

Reborn once, she became the female Emperor and married herself.

And it was her sixteen-year-old self, no less.

Sixteen-year-old Xie Wan, for the first time, understood the meaning of resentment.

She loved wielding swords and spears, loved leading troops into battle; even her dreams at night were of herself as a young general.

But with a single imperial decree, she had to put on a wedding dress and become an imperial consort.

She could see the end of her future days at a glance.

The female Emperor loves men, and the harem is filled with them. Not only could she not become a young general, but she also had to compete for favor with this group of men!

Damn that female Emperor!

"Ahem... Consort Wan, you look like you want to eat me," Xie Wan coughed twice.

"Perhaps it's because Your Majesty looks delicious," sixteen-year-old Xie Wan narrowed her eyes. She discovered that the female Emperor seemed even more frail than she had imagined.

"Your Majesty, it's time to retire," sixteen-year-old Xie Wan said astonishingly, even pressing closer step by step.

This posture of hers... she doesn't want to retire to bed, she wants to beat me up!

Xie Wan retreated two steps, "I... just came to see you... I like men, you know..."

Sixteen-year-old Xie Wan, without another word, dragged her away to give her a beating first!

...

Later, the two of them often fought and sparred.

Until... real fights turned into fake fights.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say... you liked men?" The adult Young General Xie Wan lay limp on the bed.

The female Emperor Xie Wan propped her chin on one hand, wiping the sweat from her forehead, "I don't know where things went wrong either." <<less

He was the knight serving the Crown Prince.... more>>

She was the assassin sent by the Second Prince.

Trained from a young age, she never disobeyed the organization's orders. Even if it meant being transformed into a woman to seduce the captain of the knights, she accepted it without complaint.

Disguised as a young maid, she infiltrated the home of that seemingly carefree knight.

"He must never find out who I really am," she said.

"Better not alert her just yet, I'll play along for now," he said.

"To stabilize the situation, I should first gain his/her favor." —They said in unison. <<less

Raven Griffiths—a scoundrel, a degenerate, a s*ave to lust, and the last surviving heir of a baronial family...... more>>

And he was about to become the blood sacrifice for a ritual.

With no way back, he could only charge forward, relying on his calm and cunning to break free from certain death.

But the real crisis was only just beginning.

Greedy nobles, corrupt officials, a rigid Church, savage foreign races, and ruthless cults—fate was baring its ferocious fangs at Raven.

He had no choice but to rely on the knowledge and intellect brought from Blue Star, along with the instincts and experience ingrained in this body, to amass wealth, expand his territory, and build his power—crushing crisis after crisis that loomed on the horizon.

From baron, to viscount, to count, marquis, duke, and ultimately—king!

…

Years later, “Queen Collector, Imperial Marquis of the Elven Empire, Khan of the Glorious Orcs, Conqueror of the Bloodsoaked Highlands, Sovereign of Continent and Sea, Protector of All Living Beings, the Living God” Raven sat upon his throne, clad in armor and solemnly declared:

“Many claim I seized the crown through madness, shamelessness, deceit, and cunning.

But that is utter slander!

Everything I have achieved came from the wisdom, nobility, elegance, and mercy that run in my very blood!”

…

The tides of history can never be judged by mere right or wrong.

There are blades glinting beneath soft silk, betrayals lurking behind shifting clouds, and grand performances hidden within layers of scheming!

mu*der etched upon the face, mercy kept in the heart—and in the end, fate left to the heavens.

As soon as Su Wanyan transmigrated, she became the Princess Consort of Prince Gong's Residence.... more>>

Princess Consort Gong!

Su Wanyan thought it was finally her turn for this sudden wealth and glory.

Little did she expect, this Prince Gong was half-paralyzed, bad-tempered, and a useless man just lying there waiting to die.

On their wedding day, he threatened to kick her out of the Prince's Residence, leaving her to fend for herself.

Wants to kick her out of the Prince's Residence to fend for herself?

A prince paralyzed in bed still dares to make such arrogant claims? Su Wanyan sneered!

The first day, she stripped him naked, claiming it was to wash his body. The Prince was visibly ashamed and indignant!

The second day, she forcefully stuffed food into his mouth, saying it was to replenish his energy. The Prince was furious!

The thirtieth day, she tied him to the bed so he couldn't move, under the pretext of needing to debride his wounds. The Prince dared to be angry but couldn't voice it!

The hundredth day, she pushed him out to bake under the sun, saying it was for photosynthesis. The Prince was already powerless to resist...

Everyone in the residence said the Princess Consort was torturing the Prince pitifully, but they didn't notice that the Prince's body was getting better day by day.

At this time, Su Wanyan felt she had saved up enough capital to run away. She packed her things overnight, preparing to say goodbye to Yu Nanqing.

But Su Wanyan didn't know that Yu Nanqing had already fallen for her lively and cheerful demeanor.

He pulled her into his embrace: "Wife, your husband's heart hurts so much. Only with my wife's kisses and hugs can it be healed." <<less

The salaryman who had a dream of becoming a CEO has finally succeeded.... more>>

However…

There was no one. No one was around to celebrate his success. Then on his first day of work, news of the death of a former colleague that he had laid off came. Additionally, his family left him, who was only concerned about the company.

The life he thought was right crumbled right in front of him. Where the heck did it all go wrong? Then, another opportunity came for Han Yoo-hyun, who had plunged down into despair.

Place of Birth: Bone Sea Identity: Skeleton… In the next moment, Yun Ming, still in a daze, was swept into the battlefield. Thus, a bewildered gray bone was ruthlessly hijacked by fate. What kind of unknowns will he face? ... more>>

***

The world swam into focus through a haze of gray-white mist, the only sound a persistent, dry crackling in unseen ears. Yun Ming's consciousness flickered, slowly anchoring itself to a body lying flat on... bones. Countless bones, forming a desolate, shifting landscape beneath him. He tried to sit up, but agony exploded through his frame, sharp and absolute. Looking down, he saw not flesh, but gray-white ribs. Above, slender leg bones stretched where his own should be.

"I... am a skeleton?" The thought echoed in the hollow cavity of his skull, a silent scream of disbelief swallowed by the oppressive mist. Around him, other skeletal figures stirred, mindless automatons rising from the osseous sea, only for some to suddenly collapse, scattering back into the landscape like brittle twigs. Death was palpable here, a constant presence reinforced by the chilling whispers of disintegration.

A voice, alien yet intimate, suddenly bloomed within his mind, urging him forward, into the unknown grayness. With excruciating effort, fueled by a primal fear and a dawning, terrifying awareness, Yun Ming forced his fragile new body upright. This was the Bone Sea. This was his new, horrifying beginning. And in this realm of endless death, survival was the only imperative. His journey, fraught with pain and the constant threat of dissolution, had just begun. <<less

Her lifelong dream was to take the imperial examinations and enter officialdom and serve the country, a path which was forbidden to women.... more>>

Her father, who served as the Custodian of the Imperial Archives, held a post which offered prestige and respect, but little compensation. Shuurei toiled everyday, teaching in the temple school and working odd jobs to make ends meet.

Her plans, however, came to an abrupt halt when the emperor’s Grand Advisor made a startling offer, which was for her to join the inner palace for six months as the young emperor’s consort and educate him to be a responsible ruler. If she succeeded, there would be a hefty financial reward. The path to Shuurei’s dreams, once closed forever, seemed to shine with a new light as Shuurei’s journey begins as a consort in the inner palace.

But there's one glaring issue—my father, King Louis XVI, currently occupies the throne. In just two years, history dictates he’ll face the guillotine…

Since I can’t rely on my father or the ministers to save this country, I’ll have to take matters into my own hands and reshape France myself!

First, let’s earn some money and solve the financial crisis that has plagued the kingdom for centuries.

Next, I’ll deal with those scheming nobles who plot to usurp power, giving them a lesson they won’t forget.

Then, I’ll confiscate the vast lands hoarded by the Church, which does nothing but leech off the kingdom’s resources.

With industry, technology, agriculture, and commerce advancing in unison, I will become the greatest Crown Prince in French history!

Gu Rong was the heir of the Xiao Royal Residence. Tired of family strife, he gave up a bright future that was within easy reach and retreated to the mountains of Jiangnan for a semi-hermit, semi-reclusive life of self-cultivation.... more>>

Unfortunately, he didn’t end up becoming much of a hermit but instead met a young gentleman with similar ideals and exceptional eloquence.

The two of them spent their days brewing tea and playing chess in the mountains, discussing everything from the Hundred Schools of Thought to the grand affairs of the world, from astronomy and geography to profound philosophies. Eventually, one thing led to another, and their discussions ended up in bed.

Their bodies were perfectly in sync and as they slept together more and more, emotions inevitably followed.

So, they agreed to spend their lives happily in that mountain cottage, to grow old together as a pair of immortal lovers.

But the good times didn’t last.

A year later, the old emperor fell critically ill and the court’s situation took a sharp turn. A letter came in haste from the Xiao Royal Residence, summoning Gu Rong back to take charge and do everything possible to prevent the rumored cruel and increasingly powerful crown prince from ascending the throne.

Gu Rong couldn’t abandon his family. He looked at his gentle lover, sound asleep beside him, and could only leave behind a breakup letter and slip away.

***

Xi Rong was the current crown prince. He had grown up amidst blood and storms, and once, while escaping an assassination attempt, he accidentally entered the mountains and met a stunningly beautiful man.

They had a wonderful connection and after much effort, he managed to win the beauty over, spending every day entangled with him in deep intimacy.

But fate is fickle.

News broke that the old emperor had been assassinated. His brothers were all eyeing the throne hungrily, each wanting to seize it for himself.

Xi Rong had no choice but to think seriously about returning to court.

Just as he was fretting over how to convince his mountain-loving beauty to go back with him, he woke up one day to find that the beauty had left him a breakup letter first.

Xi Rong: Heh. <<less

Si Fuqing squeezed her wrist and moved.

Later, the internet is crazily cursing her for overestimating her capabilities and sticking to Yu Yao, starting a rumor about her inappropriate private life, and—

International Diva: I can stand here today, thanks to Qingqing

Top No.1 male streamer: Stay away from my sister @Yu Yao

Even the officials of the International Games: Congratulations to Si Fuqing for winning the 13th individual gold medal, waiting for your retirement.

Yu Yao initially disdained Si Fuqing, but when he learned the truth later, he repented and knelt down to beg her to take another look. He could only post a clarification on Weibo: @Si Fuqing, Hello ninth aunt.

On that day, the whole network was down.

According to history books, Emperor Yin became famous at a young age. He was perfect, powerful, and loved the world. However, he died of illness at the age of 27, and his life was short. He had no wife, no concubines, no children, and no grandchildren. He was the hero of many people.

No one knew, he opened his eyes again, and came 1500 years later. This time, he saw the prosperous Daxia that he had imagined.

Not long after Emperor Yin’s identity was exposed, Si Fuqing learned that her idol was by her side, she admired him so much, and only wanted to—

Si Fuqing: Work hard!

Emperor Yin: Give your heart to me.

Si Fuqing: ???

I’m determined to work hard and you want me?

Everyone assumed the engagement would be called off, yet the Chu family's heiress proceeded with the wedding as scheduled, uttering just two words: "I consent."

No one knew Chu Ruoyan had suffered a nightmare.

In the dream, she broke off her engagement with Yan Zheng. Three years later, while being courted by the heir of Pingjing Marquisate, rebel forces stormed the capital.

The city became a blood-soaked hellscape. Atop the walls stood the rebel leader—none other than Yan Zheng, who had just been appointed Chief Grand Councilor!

He beheaded her prospective groom, slaughtered the entire Pingjing Marquisate household, then subjected her pleading father to relentless humiliation until the old man leaped to his death from the city walls.

Upon waking, Chu Ruoyan made two immediate decisions:

Marry him. Then kill him.

Fate proved unpredictable. While the second resolution remained unfulfilled, she somehow became the most revered woman in the realm. <<less

Before her death, Qun Qing hated the powerful official Lu Hua Ting the most. She hated him for assisting the new emperor and for being cunning and insidious. She thought about him day and night, and tried her best to defeat him, but she was not his match. In the end, she became a cannon fodder in his hands.... more>>

After Qun Qing died, she saw the princess of the fallen country that she had protected with her life, crying and leaning on the new emperor's chest: "Qing Qing is dead, what should I do?"

The new emperor kissed her: "You will be fine, just love me."

The princess burst into tears, like a delicate flower under the rain: "Qing Qing is dead, Your Majesty is all I have left."

When she opened his eyes, Qun Qing had woke up three years ago. She stood up, woodenly packed her bags, and regardless of the princess's obstruction, took off her jade crown and walked away, dropped her female official's wooden seal, turned around and left, leaving behind ten years of careful planning and treading on thin ice.

Restore the country? Restore shit.

*

The powerful official Lu Hua Ting, with deep scheming and brutal means, was invincible among the struggles of power. He was tired of seeing the ugliness of human hearts and lived a boring life.

Looking back on his life, the only thing that left a little impression on him was the mu*der of a spy female official by poisoning when he was 26 years old.

For the love of the princess, she sacrificed his life for the country and schemed against him several times. In the end, she knelt in front of the Summer Palace, her facial expression remaining unchanged, with a look of resentment in her eyes, and sighed with a smile, "The winner becomes king, and the loser turns out a thief", and raised her head to drink it all. Blood gushed out of her mouth, in a thin layer of bright red.

Opening his eyes, Lu Hua Ting returned to the age of 23.

Lu Hua Ting looked at the documents under his command, and felt even more bored. He put down his brush and leaned on the back of the chair: "Where is the female official accompanying Crown Princess?"

"... She resigned. She asked me to tell My lord that she would not fight anymore."

Lu Hua Ting was silent for a while, and curled his lips coldly: "She said she won't fight, so the fight is over?" <<less

Liu Zhenqing was a notorious powerful official in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.... more>>

It was rumored that he was ruthless, brought trouble to the Imperial Court, used the young emperor as a puppet, and had a disloyal heart.

However, heaven had eyes. In the end, Liu Zhenqing was shot through the heart by an arrow and died tragically.

No one could calculate how many sins he had committed. They only knew that after his death, a victim dug up his grave in the middle of the night, crushed his bones, and scattered his ashes.

After his death, Liu Zhenqing reflected on himself. He, a transmigrator, had been reborn as the favored eldest son of a prominent noble family. How had he become a treacherous official?

It was probably because he worked too hard.

He swore that in his next life, he would treat himself well. As a result, in the blink of an eye, he became a distant relative of the same clan eight years later.

Although he was still the eldest son, he was a love-minded cutsleeve. Moreover, everyone in the capital knew that he was frantically pursuing the man who had dug up his predecessor’s grave, General Huo Fenglie.

The people around him still had grudges against him from his previous life, and he was attacked from both sides.

Liu Zhenqing: ……How about I keep a low profile?

Thus, the traitorous official didn’t want to take revenge, but only wanted to stop trying, escape, and live a wonderful retired life as soon as possible.

But when he finally arrived in a carriage at the city gates, the city was sealed shut.

When he looked back, the God of War Huo Fenglie, who was supposed to be standing in front of thousands of troops without a change of expression, was in a state of disorder. As if he had lost his manners, he grabbed Liu Zhenqing’s wrist tightly and lowered his scarlet eyes, his voice slightly unstable: You…….where are you going?

He said: You can’t leave, come home with me.

Liu Zhenqing: ……

f*ck! He couldn’t have recognized him, right? According to the rumors, he was the villain who killed his brother, coveted his sister-in-law, and plotted against his country!

Thinking of the fate of his last body, he shivered.

The little wolf cub finally took home the bone he had longed for. Soon after, the gossiping souls of the people in the capital burned brightly.

Wasn’t it said that the General had a person he was deeply in love with, which was why he had refused the Emperor’s marriage offers several times? Why had he started to hide away a lover? Was he hiding that idiot who had originally harassed him?

Sure enough, a strong man could be won over with persistence! <<less
