Immortal arts, magic weapons, magical powers, and the boundless spiritual qi between heaven and earth vanished into obscurity overnight, and all exorcists turned to mere mortals.... more>>

Three hundred years later, the Five Hus traversed the pass, it was a prelude to an era of great turmoil in China. They heralded the end of the world, where thousands of drought fiends stalked the night —— the collapse of the Divine Land is imminent.

Fortunately, within this long, dark night where silence had fallen on all magic, a lone star still glistened brightly on the horizon.

The Heart Lamp appeared, illuminating the vast expanse around it. A sixteen-year-old young man, who will end his life on his twentieth birthday, embarked on a journey to reclaim the spiritual qi of heaven and earth that had been sealed away —— only four years remain.

The road ahead was filled with countless thistles and thorns, and it seemed improbable for him to succeed.

Chen Xing: "The important thing is that I’m the last exorcist in this world, yet the only magic I am capable of is emitting light. What can I do?”

Wait patiently then. When the Dinghai Pearl reappears on earth, the uncertain trajectory of everyone’s fates will be completely disrupted before converging once more.

Chen Xing: “Could I be partnered with a more normal Protector Martial God?”

Isn’t your Protector really skilled in fighting?

Chen Xing: “He is good at fighting, but when he loses it he’ll hit even me……”

There’s nothing that can be done about that, you can only blame yourself for losing yourself to lust. <<less

Zhu Xiang, a professor of agriculture, found himself transported to the chaotic era of the Warring States in the Zhao Country. After much hardship, his life began to improve. His elder sister, who had run away with a wealthy merchant, left her nephew in his care, explaining that she had formed a relationship with another wealthy merchant and couldn’t take care of the child.... more>>

An indignant Zhu Xiang initially considered giving the child to someone else, but then he learned that the child’s name was Zheng, and his father was none other than Sun Yi, a noble from the Qin state. Zhu Xiang was bewildered. “My nephew is Ying Zheng? But my sister’s name isn’t Zhao Ji; it’s Chunhua!”

Determined not to let the future First Emperor disappear from history, Zhu Xiang decided to grit his teeth and tighten his belt to raise the young Emperor Qin. With a “ding,” the cultivation system came online, and he could exchange goodwill with historical figures for superior crops. Tears filled Zhu Xiang’s eyes as he kissed the young Emperor Qin on the forehead. “Truly worthy of being the Future First Emperor! You’re amazing! Just watch, your uncle will cultivate a vast empire for you!”

Many years later, Emperor Qin Shi Huang would still recall his childhood memories. His uncle held his small hand and walked through endless fields, pointing to the vast golden fields that stretched to the horizon. “Zheng, my nephew, your uncle has a dream – to plant superior crops across all the lands bathed in the sun and moonlight, so that everyone in the kingdom can have enough to eat.”

“Uncle, Zheng can conquer all the lands under the sun and moon and give them to you for farming, how does that sound?”

“Ah? Hahaha, that sounds great!” His uncle let out a hearty laugh, lifting him onto his shoulders. “Wherever Zheng’s kingdom expands, your uncle’s fields will follow.”

A large hands firmly holding onto the smaller one. “It’s a promise.”

Imperial Princess Yuxi tumbled off her horse, suffering a severe head injury that left her with memories only from before the age of twelve, evoking... more>> sentiments of pity among the court officials. To everyone's surprise, Princess Yuxi herself found solace in this new reality. Awakening to find herself the Crown Princess, second only to the emperor and above ten thousand others, with her imperial younger brother doting on her, she felt quite content. However, there was one peculiarity: at twenty-two years of age, she was without a consort. Determined to rectify this, Princess Yuxi resolved to find herself a husband. During a palace banquet celebrating longevity, her gaze fell upon an exquisite man, as if descended from the heavens, whose countenance shone with a warm smile yet betrayed cold depths within his eyes. Satisfied with what she saw, the princess sought him out even before the feast concluded. "Are you married?" The man replied with gentle humor, "Not as of yet." Perfectly pleased, Princess Yuxi nodded. "Tomorrow I am to visit a temple to offer incense; I expect you to escort me." The man hesitated, his gaze momentarily intensifying, "Your Highness has suffered a serious fall; perhaps it would be best to summon the imperial physician another day." His tender concern and attentiveness won over Princess Yuxi, who insisted he must come to the Princess's Mansion. But no sooner had her joy lingered than someone informed her that the man she had just approached was none other than the Prime Minister, Fu Anian, from whom the Princess had recently divorced. Princess Yuxi: ... So it wasn't that she lacked a consort; rather, she had been divorced.

Li Rong married Pei Wenxuan at the age of 18.... more>>

Li Rong used Pei Wenxuan’s family background to avoid disaster, and Pei Wenxuan used Li Rong’s identity as Princess to establish himself.

Husband and wife for 30 years, yet nothing between them but power.

In the end, it was hardly surprising that someone turned them against each other, leading them to die under each other’s schemes.

However, when they woke up, they had actually returned to the year when they were 18 years old, returning to the most difficult time in their lives.

So Pei Wenxuan went to look for Li Rong.

“Does Your Highness feel that we should go through this marriage again?”

“Let’s do it…”

“Then this humble one must get rid of your ‘Guest Official’ first.”

“Do you think I’ll let your sweetheart off?!”

After a long wordless silence, Pei Wenxuan spoke again: “How about we bear with one another for the time being? In two years, when we each have power in our hands, you and I will divorce. From then on, if there are grievances, settle those grievances, if there are grudges, settle those grudges. What does the Princess think?”

Li Rong hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Fine, go ahead with it first…”

Later, Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong secured the power to control the Imperial Court. Seeing Li Rong write up the divorce letter at home, Pei Wenxuan looked left and right, considering the situation from all angles, then finally walked into the study. “The children are already this old, how about we keep living like this for a while?” <<less

The first time Hua Qianqian met Yeqing, she was angry.

“Are you a killer?”

“Are you a constable?”

A killer meets a constable.

Similar to a dog seeing a cat, there are extreme ferocity and a mu*derous aura.

“I will arrest him and bring him to justice first, then later, you can find a chance to kill him. Then both of us won’t suffer a loss, what do you say?”

Yeqing was speechless. As a constable, she did not stop him from killing and even negotiated with him?

The second time they met, she smiled.

“Why didn’t you do a proper job as a killer but work as a male prostitute to let your chrysanthemum be poked? Did you lose your job?”

“Similarly, you quit your job as a constable and became a dancer, are you unable to hold on to your job?”

“Che! Being a constable is only a part-time job. A dancer makes a lot of money, don’t you know that?”

Yeqing was speechless again. Is the unconventional constable making fun of a professional killer?

The third time they met, she became familiar with him.

“it’s been a long time since we met. Did you change your job to become a painter? Ah……are you painting me?”

Holding up the portrait she cast an ambiguous look at him. To be on the receiving end of a secret crush is a bit embarrassing.

Yeqing said coldly. “That is your reward poster. Someone put up a bounty for your head.” <<less
