Here, inside this martial arts novel, there is a true teacher who teaches the arrogant male lead and awakens him through death.... more>>

Handsome, good-natured, righteous, strong, and…

Anyway, there was one big flaw in the male lead’s damn fine teacher. It was his foolish only daughter who was filled with greed. A tenacious villainess extra, who always comes back to haunt the male lead in every way, but cannot be abandoned because she is his teacher’s daughter.

Throughout reading the novel, I cursed at that daughter. Saying that if it was me, I wouldn’t live like that.
‘But that didn’t mean that I wanted to be her!’

What was worse, Father has already died, and my reputation is the worst.

Inevitably, I ran away, but… I died. However, when I opened my eyes, Father was alive!?
‘If so, in this life, I will definitely save Father!’

However…
“To think they’re aiming at my granddaughter!? I’ll kill them all!”

Why do I see Grandfather, who doesn’t even appear many times throughout the novel, so often like this?

“Marriage? No. Yeonie said that she would live by my side for the rest of her life.”
Even Father, somehow became weird.

Moreover,
“Why do you keep avoiding me? Is this also my mistake?”
Isn’t the main character suddenly becoming obsessed with me?

“Originally, I was destined to die. Until you came here.”
I saved the time-limited bastard, but isn’t it that no good deed goes unpunished?

“At least when I’m in front of you… I don’t think I’m tr*sh.”
The villain who blew off my neck is suddenly trying to repent.

Is it really okay if it’s like this? <<less

Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains《蜀山劍俠傳》by Huanzhu Louzhu 還珠樓主 (lit. Master of Returning Pearl Loft) was published between 1932 and 1948 and is one of the most influential wuxia novels of all time. Many of the elements in this novel became standard tropes of the wuxia genre. It is also the forefather of the modern xianxia cultivation novel. Huanzhu’s cultivation system became the standard, fusing the Daoist quest for transcendence with the Buddhist reincarnation cycle and tribulation system, as well as the Confucian virtue of humaneness 仁 and the chivalrous xia 俠 archetype. At over 4.1 million Chinese characters, it is also one of the longest wuxia novels, though it remains unfinished due to the... more>> civil war in China. So the first cultivation novel was also eunuched—rather fitting.

The story follows multiple protagonists as they gradually gather together, fighting heretical sects and spirit elementals on their way to founding the Mount Emei Sect. Most outstanding among these protagonists is Li Yingqiong, who begins the novel as a girl with no martial arts abilities, and through the course of the novel cultivates to become a transcendent (aka immortal).

In this novel, plants, animals, and monsters can all become human and cultivate to transcendence, or lose their primordial spirit (aka nascent soul) and have to start all over, or be obliterated completely after failing their tribulation. Grotto-heavens and magic treasures abound, and we see the beginning of sects as major organizations in wuxia novels with important roles in the plot, such as Emei, Qingcheng, Mount Hua, Wudang, Mount Huang, Snowy Mountain, Kongtong, Kunlun, and Wutai, as well as the emergence of what would later become the archetypal eccentric beggar character. There are miraculous drugs, sword kinesis, and battles between mythical beasts, and heretic cultivators trying to cheat their way to a faster transcendence. In short, pretty much all of the elements one normally sees in the typical xianxia cultivation webnovel. <<less

The turbulence of the world fostered us, whose existence upon joining jianghu going by as quick as a blink.*

"In this world where war erupts throughout, jianghu is a cycle of vengeance and retribution. You either persist, or you perish."

Many years ago, a young Chu Xiwei who recently joined the sect was chilled to the bone by those words he happened to have heard.

Seeing that his young disciple was scared quite enough, Ye Fusheng leisurely sipped his tea, "What I just said is pure nonsense."

Every young chivalrous individuals joining jianghu would happen upon one martial art scroll or another. Ye Fusheng was so often tricked by this preconception in his younger years that when he got older, he decided to hoard other people's scrolls.
