The six prefectures of Zhongbo were offered to foreign enemies on a silver platter, and Shen Zechuan was taken into custody in the capital, reduced to a drowning dog—loathed and condemned by all. ... more>>

Xiao Chiye followed the scent of the furor and made his way over. But instead of setting others on him, he kicked Shen Zechuan with his very own leg, rendering the latter an invalid. Who would expect this invalid to turn around and bite him in a counterattack until he was all drenched in blood?

That was the start of an epic feud between both men who tore at each other every time they come face-to-face with one another.

“Fate wants to bind me here for life, but this is not the path I choose. The yellow dust submerged my brothers deep under. I have no wish to bow in submission to an illusory fate. The imperial edict can’t save my troops, and the imperial court can’t fill the stomachs of my mounts. I’m no longer willing to lay down my life for this purpose. I want to surmount that mountain. I am going to fight for myself.”

Note: A ‘drowning dog’ is someone who is down and out, having lost favor or power. <<less

This time, she only wanted to survive, but as she tried to leave, she was stopped.

The princess, with teary eyes, clutched her sleeve and asked, "Husband, won’t you take me with you?"

Princess: "I am willing to accompany you in a life of men plowing and women weaving."

Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times.... more>>

Good news: He's bound to a system.

Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people's private information and scandals. Utterly useless.

More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown.

Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler... doesn't understand the classics, can't write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel.

...

In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear.

Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System.

[Wow, the emperor just took in a 16-year-old noblewoman yesterday! A beautiful addition! He's getting stronger with age! And he was tossing and turning in bed all night but still has such a powerful voice now! Amazing!]

[This noblewoman used to be the crown prince's concubine! And the crown prince even knows how to write passionate love letters!]

[Wow wow wow! The crown prince sneaked into the grandpa's harem... hiss—got intimate while the old emperor was attending court! Do it quickly! Why isn't there any video...]

[Huh? Why is there no sound?]

Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around.

[What happened? Why is everyone kneeling? Where's the emperor?]

—The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem.

*

The "imperial exam cheating" bomb finally exploded.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn't match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn't understand the classics.

The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary:

How do I explain the source of my information...

[Say that I secretly met with the Chief Examiner, the Minister of Rites, three nights before the exam? Impossible, that night, the Minister of Rites was dressed as a woman, spent the night at the General's Mansion, with the general...]

The general's body shook, and he interjected: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there's still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu... Xu... Xu Yanmiao's attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!"

The crown prince, who couldn't hear his thoughts: ??

[Also, what's with saying that the examiner faking yawning and tiredness was intentionally leaving me a gap for cheating? He spent the night before the exam in the pigsty without sleeping, how could he not be tired the next day? But, surprisingly, the Imperial Academy lecturer actually believed in pig's milk...]

The Imperial Academy lecturer's face went pale, and he burst out: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"I... I agree with the General's words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He... he... he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!"

Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ??

Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved.

[They're all good people, even if their brains don't work well, they're trying their best to find reasons and excuses for me.]

[But I really have no way to turn the tables, alas, it's a pity that I haven't finished watching the TV series I've been following. The old emperor angered the empress last night and got kicked out of the bedchamber, and now I'm going to die before seeing the ending. He seems to be planning to paint his face with ink and pretend to be a cat to cheer up the empress...]

"Bang—"

The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: "I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!"

The civil and military officials couldn't wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip.

"Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You've tired him out by making him stand for so long!"

The crown prince: ??

Did Xu Yanmiao drug them with hallucinogens or something? <<less

I transmigrated to the Northern Song Dynasty.... more>>

However, this Northern Song has powerful martial artists who can split mountains and cut off rivers, capable of fighting one against ten thousand.

Peng Feng was born into a ninth-rate sect—the Five Tigers Broken Door Saber Peng Family.

He deeply understands the way of "gou" (苟, meaning to bide one's time)! Knowing that the outside world is too dangerous, he plans to wait until he reaches the Land Immortal Realm before revealing his power in front of others.

Who would have expected that in this year, when he was seventeen years old.

Suddenly.

The Heavenly Dao Hidden Dragon List appeared. As long as one stays on the list for a full year, one can receive a reward from the Heavenly Dao, causing a shock to the world.

But what shocked the world even more was that the first place on the Hidden Dragon List was actually Peng Feng, who came from a ninth-rate sect like the Five Tigers Broken Door Saber!!!

Overnight, Peng Feng became famous throughout the world!

Even the Five Tigers Broken Door Saber sect, from top to bottom, did not expect that Peng Feng, who was so ordinary in the sect, would actually be so powerful.

Transported from a world of smartphones and instant gratification, he's reborn into a ninth-rate martial arts family. But fate has other plans.

Thrust onto the world stage, Peng Feng must navigate the treacherous landscape of rival nations, courtly intrigue, and deadly assassins. As war engulfs the land and the Song Dynasty faces threats from all sides, Peng Feng must choose between his desire for peace and the call to protect his nation.

Lin Lang lived like a dog in her previous life, struggling her entire life. In the end, when she got sick, she was passed around like a football. She dedicated herself wholeheartedly and selflessly, but ended up a joke!... more>>

At the time of her death, Lin Lang vowed that she would never be a saint again in any lifetime. Unexpectedly, she obtained an unexpected System and began to train in various small worlds!

To deal with extraordinary people, one must use extraordinary means. Evil people have their own evil people to grind them down!

The female lead is not a white lotus. She will use any means to complete her tasks. To deal with evil people, one must use the same evil methods. The female lead does not love anyone; she only loves herself in this life!

A selfish and self-serving quick transmigration character, a quick transmigration character who respects only herself, and even a quick transmigration character who likes to solve problems with her fists!

Is human nature inherently evil? Or is it inherently good?

***

The sandalwood canopy bed, carved with flowers and painted with birds, exuded an understated luxury that did little to soothe the turmoil within Lin Lang.

One moment, she was a woman betrayed, dying in a world that had chewed her up and spat her out. The next, she was Mingzhu, a Borjigit noblewoman destined for the Emperor's Harem, a gilded cage where beauty was currency and ambition, a dangerous game. But Lin Lang was no Mingzhu, no starry-eyed girl dreaming of the Emperor's love.

She knew the game, the players, and the tragic end that awaited her predecessor. Armed with the memories of a life wasted on selfless devotion, Lin Lang vowed to seize control of her fate.

In this world of silk and secrets, where every smile hid a dagger and every whispered word could shatter empires, she would not be a pawn. She would be a player, and she would rewrite the sorrows of a co-wife into a symphony of power, resilience, and survival. <<less

But in the end, without waiting for her to be able to act, Emperor Tai’s most trusted state preceptor unexpectedly revolted before she could. This was the most rapidly gathered rebel army that Jiang Changbai could remember; in four months, they captured half of the Great Li’s territory.

The day the city was broken into, Jiang Changbai unexpectedly saw the study companion whom she had lost five years ago, Song Juguang—wearing plain cotton, escorted out from the crowd, with a word as light as a feather placing her into the emperor’s position.

In the end, regarding herself as a puppet emperor, Jiang Changbai, in self-defence, pretended to be uninterested in governing; the first thing she did on ascending was to place the regent’s hat on Song Juguang, and then push all of the government affairs to her.

Pei Xiting transmigrated into the canary substitute in “Raising.”... more>>

The tyrannical, loyal young marquis, the virtuous prince who turned from a rotten cucumber to a good man; the noble, sickly green tea young master —the scum gongs group couldn’t get the white moonlight, so they set their eyes on the white moonlight’s younger brother. After truckloads of body and heart ab*se texts, the substitute stabbed his own throat and committed su*cide; thus the literary passion of the crematorium unfolds.

Pei Xiting, who had finished reading: “Ughh…”

Halfway through, he was thrown onto the bed with a chokehold by scum gong no. 1.

Pei Xiting: “?”

The scum gongs group was powerful, so in order to protect his butt, Pei Xiting, who was unfamiliar with the place, decided to lightly hug a thigh, and the target was the crown prince of the current dynasty.

As a passerby in the original novel, the prince had very little information available. In addition, Pei Xiting had only heard two rumors:

First, the crown prince killed his elder brother and poisoned his father. He was ruthless and merciless, and his thunderous means shocked the court and the public. Now the emperor is just a puppet, and the crown prince is the one controlling the clouds and rain.

Second: The crown prince is extremely handsome and has topped various lists, such as “Yejing’s dream lover.” Unfortunately, he carries a terrifying aura of “Lonesome beauty, don’t touch; otherwise, I will scatter your ashes”. So far, there has been no brave beauty who can touch this high-mountain carnivorous flower.

He sounds like a dangerous character, but the arrow is already on the string, so Pei Xiting has to shoot.

At first sight, His Royal Highness the crown prince has calm eyes and looks like a person in an ancient painting. Pei Xiting’s hands are itchy: What a perfect nude model; I want to draw!

Later, His Royal Highness the crown prince stripped himself bare, flaunting his broad shoulders and narrow waist, abdominal muscles, and long legs. Pei Xiting’s heart is itchy: Just drawing… is not enough! <<less

Ling Xing opens his eyes to find himself transported to ancient times, becoming a "chong xi" bridegroom, married to a man on his deathbed. The wedding ceremony was conducted with his husband's younger brother standing in as a proxy. Three days after the wedding, his husband passes away, and Ling Xing is transformed from a bridegroom into a widower.... more>>

The original Ling Xing had fled famine and hardship, leaving him with no place to call home. Fortunately, the Shen family takes him in and allows him to live with them. The Shen family is poor, struggling to make ends meet, often going hungry and lacking adequate clothing. They subsist on a meager diet of porridge mixed with wheat bran, barely enough to fill their stomachs.

Ling Xing, in his past life, was a food vlogger, skilled in recreating various cuisines and an excellent cook. To earn a living, he starts selling steamed buns, rice noodle rolls, and grilled skewers. His small food stall gradually grows into a two-story restaurant, becoming quite prosperous.

As Ling Xing's business thrives and his life improves, more and more people come forward to propose marriage. The matchmakers chatter incessantly, saying, "The Shen family, you shouldn't stop Xing Ge'er from remarrying." "In our Yu dynasty, there's no rule that a married woman or ge'er must remain a widow for life." "The one proposing marriage is a scholar!"

Ling Xing is constantly pestered by these matchmakers, feeling overwhelmed. Fortunately, his brother-in-law, who had given up his life as a hunter to pursue studies, returns after completing his imperial exams. Under his cold gaze, the matchmakers quickly disperse.

That night, Ling Xing is pinned down by a tall, shadowy figure.

"If you are willing to remarry, I want to marry you," the figure says.

Ling Xing is stunned, exclaiming in disbelief, "Shen Hui, are you crazy? I'm your brother-in-law!"

Shen Hui lowers his gaze and replies, "You were married to me, so what kind of brother-in-law are you?"

Having no other choice, she set up a cosmetics shop in Chang’an.... more>>

But to the eyes of all, especially her relatives’, she had become nothing but an alluring flower any man could pick at will.

Passing by her Baixiang Pavilion, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Zhen, Lu Yan, witnessed her being harassed by the idle sons of Chang’an’s leading class. Her appearance reminded him of dreams that had been plaguing him lately, revealing to him a past with her and the sultry love affair they had shared in a previous life.

With shaking fingers, he also remembered the bitter taste of heartbreak when she left him to marry another man.

Thus, in this life, he decided to save her once more, lure her into an affair, install her as his mistress and never let her escape his sphere of influence again.

However, to keep Shen Zhen by his side, finding her a place to stay and caring for her brother was not enough. Little did Lu Yan know he would be pulled into the darkest corners of Chang’an and take part in games of power that at times implicated the Main Gentleman of the Empire, the Emperor himself. Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.

On the day of the eldest grandson of the Xie family's grand wedding, the old madam harbored selfish intentions, favoring the third young master, Xie Shao. She worried that his laziness would lead to the family's ruin. Having heard of the eldest daughter of the Wen family's adeptness in managing household affairs, she secretly switched the groom.... more>>

Unexpectedly, the Wen family also had their own schemes.

The legitimate granddaughter of the Wen family, Wen Shuse, who was exceptionally beautiful but spoiled from a young age, was feared by her grandmother to be looked down upon by her future husband. Having heard of the eldest grandson of the Xie family's gentle and considerate nature, the Wen family's old madam, willing to bear the infamy, pushed her onto her sister's wedding sedan.

That night, the gloating and sarcastic voices of the Xie family's main branch could be heard through the wedding chamber.

Under the red candles, the dandy young master and the pampered young lady stared at each other, unable to speak, both of them giving up. The only consolation was probably the other's face.

After marriage, the two fully showcased their flaws, living a life of constant financial strain.

Wen Shuse never complained, but every time Xie Shao returned at dusk, he saw her gazing at the courtyard of the main branch next door, fanning herself lightly, her face filled with longing and envy, "I really want to smash this wall. At least I could smell something, even if I can't taste it.."

After all, she was his wife, and he couldn't let her starve. The next day, Xie Shao entered the study for the first time and started copying books.

However, Wen Shuse was not just spoiled; she was also an insatiable bottomless pit.

"Sister-in-law's new skirt today is really beautiful."

"Brother-in-law gave his wife a pair of earrings yesterday; I've never seen such white jade in my life."

In the third year of Yifeng, the illegitimate daughter of the Ningyang Marquis' household entered the palace.... more>>

Entering the palace is like stepping into an unfathomable sea; the only rule is to never fall in love.

Ning Shuyan was well aware of this. What she sought were wealth, power, and the Emperor's favor. Over three years, she planned meticulously, captivating the Emperor's attention and climbing from the rank of Cairen to Noble Consort.

The harem whispered that the Emperor's affection for women was dictated by utility and interest. When Xiao Yu first met her, he was intrigued by this woman. He said, "I didn't expect her to have such beauty." Everyone claimed that his interest in her was merely fleeting. Yet, that fleeting interest turned into a lifetime of favor for Ning Shuyan.

Xiao Yu later admitted: At first, he was drawn to her looks, then captivated by her alluring charm.

Unexpectedly, a lifetime passed, and no matter how much he looked at her, he never grew tired.

To him, she was gentle and enchanting, pure and kind, and deeply devoted to him. Even years later, she remained unchanged in his heart, as radiant as ever, with his love for her growing stronger with time. <<less

One-sentence introduction: The story of a dragon egg searching for its father... more>>

Zhao Qi transmigrated into a novel as the despotic and impotent emperor. In the original story, the emperor committed all kinds of atrocities and had the embarrassing problem of impotence.

Zhao Qi, with his transmigrated knowledge, could solve the impotence issue. However, he refused to have a harem, and he firmly stuck to the path of being an emperor with only one consort.

During a palace banquet, someone drugged Zhao Qi's drink. In a daze, he managed to catch someone, and then...

When he woke up, he realized he had made a big mistake! Zhao Qi was furious: "How dare someone take advantage of me? I will find that person and castrate them!"

He ordered the Chief Eunuch to present the list of attendees at the banquet and identified four suspects: the cold and aloof Prime Minister, the charming and dashing Prince, the supremely skilled General, and the scholar who harbored deep resentment for being taken into the palace by the original owner of his transmigrated body.

Two months later, they still hadn't found the culprit. However, Zhao Qi began experiencing symptoms like vomiting and excessive sleepiness. When he called for the imperial physician...

In the end... more>>

Xiao Rong traveled back in time and became the advisor to a warlord during an era of contending heroes.

This warlord was stubborn, refused advice, was overly sensitive and suspicious, prioritized military affairs over civil ones, and most importantly, was brutal and bloodthirsty. Xiao Rong had to assist him because his life was bound to the warlord's by a system that detected their matching energy fields. Xiao Rong's well-being depended on the warlord's fortune—when the warlord's luck declined, Xiao Rong would cough up blood and need medication.

Thus, the palace became a scene of vivid spectacles:

When the warlord wanted to execute a righteous minister, Xiao Rong clutched his chest to stop him: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

When the warlord wanted to release a pleading enemy, Xiao Rong, pale-faced, intervened: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

When the warlord wanted to massacre surrendered captives and innocent families, Xiao Rong, spitting blood, grabbed his sleeve: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

Eventually, the warlord became psychologically scarred by Xiao Rong’s blood-spitting episodes and started listening to him in everything, fearing that any displeasure would cause Xiao Rong to die.

The obedient warlord turned into a wise ruler, and the empire was within reach. Xiao Rong stood satisfied on the city tower, overlooking the vast lands.

At that moment, a hand reached for his waist.

Xiao Rong: "Your Majesty, you must not!!!"

Look at how many exclamation marks I used, you idiot!

However, the warlord examined his face and concluded: "No blood, so it’s okay."
