On the eve of the college entrance exams, the nation’s most talented cultivators are full of ambition, ready to challenge the heavens. Only A’Diao remains timid and unassuming.... more>>

When the competition begins, she quietly pulls out a common, cheap magic staff and casts a curse: “Everyone, turn into pigs!”

Poof, poof, poof!

A group of geniuses, chasing after the exam scrolls on their flying devices, all plummet to the ground, transforming into little pink pigs upon landing.

After taking first place in her group, she screenshots the “pig farm” and posts it to her social feed to gather resentment, captioning it: “What’s there to be proud of in getting first place? After all, what they lost was their score, but what I lost was their love for me~~~”

Mental Energy from all national contestants +99999…

Set against a backdrop of a feudal empire with high-level martial arts and technology, this world has robots, spaceships, Taobao, and college entrance exams. It also features a highly stratified society with a ruling imperial court, entrenched noble classes, and powerful corporations that control the lifelines of the economy. Everyone’s life and death are subject to the whims of others.

Some say that with the revival of spiritual energy and the proliferation of subterranean lairs, the Three Kingdoms will fall to a demon king who will slaughter all in his path.

Some say A’Diao is that revived demon king.

Perhaps she is.

...

The world is high-risk. Characters will use any means necessary to get ahead, and the collective morality does not align with modern perspectives (the protagonist is ruthless as well). This is a parallel, fictional world; do not project it onto reality. Readers who are sensitive about moral ambiguity or prefer “pure” characters should avoid this. The views and actions of the characters do not represent the author’s own; this is simply a story.

The female lead follows a grassroots-to-power trajectory. For the first few dozen chapters, she appears to be lying low but is secretly scheming and profiting. This is not an “instant power-up and dominate” story, but she generally doesn’t let her enemies see another day. There are also hidden secrets regarding her family’s enmity. All characters are essentially tools for the plot; the female lead is a professional focused on gaining money and power. The story arc where she dominates everyone begins with the academy assessments.

A proactive spoiler warning: if the two points above are off-putting to you, please do not read. I also politely decline any writing advice. Thank you. <<less

Master's wife, are you joking? You want me to have a child with you?"... more>>

After transmigrating into a cultivation world, Qin Feng was merely an ordinary miscellaneous disciple of the Azure Cloud Sect. He never imagined that his fiancée’s master’s wife would suddenly come to him... and actually ask to have a child with him.

Qin Feng originally intended to refuse, but unexpectedly, he was drugged, and a ridiculous night unfolded.

From that moment, he activated the Goddess Feedback System—so long as Liu Ruyan cultivated, he would receive ten times the cultivation in return.

When Liu Ruyan awakened the Phoenix Spirit Physique, he awakened the Primordial Divine Physique.

“Liu Ruyan has broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. You receive tenfold feedback and break through to the Golden Core Realm.”

From then on, Qin Feng began his path of lying flat and soaring to the heavens. <<less

However, a single unnecessary act of kindness angered the Celestial Emperor, and I was ultimately banished from the heavens, exiled to the mortal world, where I became a fallen, monstrous immortal. People no longer approached me, and my appearance turned as grotesque as a monster’s.

In the tranquil village of Qingling, Li Wei, a humble herbalist's son, discovers an ancient scroll that unveils the secrets of cultivating one's inner energy, or "qi." With a heart aflame with determination, Li Wei embarks on a journey that will lead him from the picturesque landscapes of his homeland to the heart of the mystical mountains.... more>>

Fortunately, he awakened a supernatural ability that allowed him to see the information of objects, giving him a bit of a foothold for survival.

He looked at a weed by the roadside:

He looked at a wild rabbit in the mountains:

“We’re in an era of civilized cultivation, and you want me to be a demon lord? Are you trying to get me killed?”

[Task One: As a demon lord, seizing treasures through killing should be as natural as eating or drinking. Please steal another’s opportunity and claim it for yourself!]

“System, robbery carries a sentence of three to ten years!”

[Task Two: A demon lord should have countless followers willingly offering tributes to aid your path to greatness. Please recruit followers (0/1000)!]

“That’s way too criminal! Tricking a thousand people into giving free offerings? That’s at least five years!”

My husband, Xie Wu Chen, was a genius sword cultivator, while I was just a mortal.... more>>

Xie Wu Chen despised foolish people.

To catch up with him, I worked hard at cultivation, but he remained indifferent:

"You have no spiritual roots, it's a waste of effort."

Later, he ascended, and I remarried.

On the day of my wedding, he descended to the mortal realm, his sword placed against my husband's neck:

"Do you really want to marry this useless person?"

I stood before the sword, holding my mortal husband's hand, and looked straight at Xie Wu Chen:

"Yes, because he never thought I was s*upid."

Xie Wu Chen sneered:

"Just because of that?"

I nodded seriously:

"Just because of that." <<less

Li Jin'an and Qingxiao Immortal Venerable Xie Huaixue from the neighboring Grand Dao Sect were arch-rivals. They cultivated the Dao side-by-side, yet Li Jin'an found herself consistently outshone by the neighboring Immortal Venerable; even the disciples she took were inferior to Xie Huaixue's.... more>>

She harbored a one-sided grudge against Xie Huaixue for millennia.

She believed this was all due to the advantages reaped from cultivating the Heartless Dao. Her rival had simply gotten lucky; otherwise, Li Jin'an was certain she would have been the slightly superior one.

One day, Li Jin'an had a dream in which she was living in a storybook—a background character destined for an early demise. The text mentioned her only briefly: "The Jijin Sword Sovereign could be considered a hero of her generation, it's a pity she fell midway."

The rest of the story? It was entirely focused on Xie Huaixue, practitioner of the Heartless Dao, and her entanglements with her three disciples. All of them vied to possess the cold-hearted, unfeeling Xie Huaixue, leading to a two-million-word saga of love, hate, passion, and vengeance... and it didn't even have a proper ending, leaving it unknown which disciple Xie Huaixue ended up with.

Huh??? Her own downfall isn't even given a reason, but they have all the time in the world for lovey-dovey drama with disciples, is that it?!

Li Jin'an, infuriated, rose, grabbed her sword, and charged over to settle the score.

...

It was said by all that the Jijin Sword Sovereign had coveted the Qingxiao Immortal Venerable for ten thousand years, finally achieving her desire through relentless pursuit and pestering.

Li Jin'an had something to say about that: She hadn't even been alive for ten thousand years, so she couldn't possibly have been pining for Xie Huaixue for that long.

Later, reflecting on that day, she realized she had indeed made the first move, effectively walking right into a trap.

When an old house catches fire, there's no saving it from the blaze. (Idiom: an older person falling deeply and passionately in love)

I've thought it over and over; you and I are meant to be the most compatible. <<less

Wei Jingke had just successfully passed her tribulation and was on the verge of ascending to immortality.

But a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. The Heavenly Dao intervened: “Your tribulations are not yet over.”

She asked respectfully, “May the Heavenly Sovereign enlighten me.”

Who would’ve thought that just one question would prompt the Heavenly Dao to reverse time itself and hurl her back a thousand years into the past?

A thousand years ago, she had still been a mortal princess in the imperial palace.

And in the mortal world, she’d had a dear little brother—the same one who had schemed endlessly for the throne and plotted her assassination.

Now she had returned to that time with her full cultivation intact. Could this so-called “unfinished tribulation” be the Heavenly Dao’s way of telling her to avenge those past wrongs?

Something felt off.

Wei Jingke suddenly remembered—

A thousand years ago, while still living in the imperial palace, she had... been engaged to someone?

Shen Pei, daughter of the Prince of Anding, was gentle by nature and the very picture of a noble lady—praised by all who met her.

But no one knew the truth: in her previous life, misfortune had followed her at every turn. Everyone she loved had died. And even when she finally rose to a position of power, she had no one left to talk to.

In this life, reborn, she was determined to protect her family...

And to make up for the regrets of her past life.

“Sister Wei...” Shen Pei gently offered her a cup of tea.

That demure smile, the graceful line of her neck, and the glistening moisture in her eyes—everything about her seemed to whisper temptation.

Time had rewound, the moon was still full.

And she was going to make this woman fall for her. <<less

Readers: Why doesn’t the female lead like the Devil Venerable?!

Devil Venerable: This Venerable also wants to know. But what I really want to know is why I even like the female lead at all.

In order to understand why the female lead wasn’t attracted to him, the self-conscious Devil Venerable brutally interrogated the entire cast of characters from the novel.

Background characters: I have so many things I want to say but I don’t dare to say it to his face!

After obtaining the book, the Devil Venerable discovered that the book described the world he lived in. This book said that after he sacrificed himself for the female lead, the fourth male lead, his silent and loyal subordinate Yin Hanjiang, blackened and attempted to kill her as a sacrificial offering for his lord.

In the world of self-cultivation, there were many immortal sects. Some sects were good at refining elixirs, some were good at sword cultivation, and some were good at divination. Only the sect that Jiu Hui worshipped was not only incapable of controlling yao monsters, but also had no sense of existence in other aspects.

Jiu Hui asked her master, "What has our sect relied on for the past two thousand years?"

Netizens: ???

Then, Zhu Changyang took out a rice cooker.

Qiao Yi accidentally transmigrated to ancient times. A Taoist priest from Xuanxu Temple declared that the original owner of the body was born with an incomplete destiny, fated to bring misfortune to her parents, and was a 'Solitary Star of Misfortune'. This fate could only be resolved if she found her missing destiny component, or if she married someone with an exceptionally noble destiny before she turned eighteen.... more>>

Having no other choice, the original owner's parents were absolute believers in these prophecies. From a young age, they abandoned her in a separate villa to be raised by a wet nurse. What they didn't know was that not only did the original owner have an incomplete destiny, but she also never spoke a word, leading everyone to believe she was mute.

Ironically, the day before she turned eighteen, she lost her footing and fell into the water. It was at this moment that Qiao Yi transmigrated. On her eighteenth birthday, the original owner's so-called parents once again brought the Taoist priest to the villa. Following the Taoist priest's instructions, Qiao Yi traversed mountains and rivers, expending immense effort, to finally reach the broken temple he had spoken of, waiting for her destined partner. She waited and waited, from dawn until dusk, only to finally wait for a fox, entirely snow-white.

This was utterly absurd.

She had no choice but to carry the fox down the mountain and, with her relatives as witnesses, married it.

Although it was a bit absurd, it was clear at first glance that this fox was no ordinary one. She adored it, carrying it everywhere she went. The strange thing was, from then on, no one ever again called her a 'Solitary Star of Misfortune'.

Qiao Yi grew to love the fox even more. All day long, she did nothing but pet it. Its sensitive little ears, its pink belly, and especially its fluffy tail were simply Qiao Yi's absolute favorites.

Then, one day, the fox suddenly transformed into a peerless beauty, exuding an ethereal grace. Lying in Qiao Yi's arms, she looked at Qiao Yi, who was shaking uncontrollably, and threatened, "What, are you scared now?"

Scared? How could she not be scared?

Everyone says "like father, like son", but Gu Fuyou has mediocre talent. So mediocre that when people see her, they mock her, wondering how Gu Wanpeng could have such a daughter.... more>>

She was so ordinary until she was accepted into the Xuan Miao Sect, with some suspecting that Gu Wanpeng pulled strings for her behind the scenes.

During a beast-taming class, the master was teaching disciples how to summon spirit beasts.

Someone, trying to mock her, chuckled, "I've heard your father's golden spirit bird can attain the nascent soul stage. Like father, like daughter, right? I bet the spirit beast you summon will be equally impressive."

She started the summoning formation, but there was no movement for a long time.

Everyone laughed, "She can't even summon the lowest-level young beast." This was beyond mediocrity; it was downright useless.

Suddenly, the formation emitted a blinding light, and fog covered the ground. Everyone gasped in surprise.

She summoned something, not a bird or beast, but a living person.

This person was the unparalleled genius of Xuan Miao Sect.

Even she didn't expect it, and the summoned person looked equally bewildered.

In a sudden impulse, she used her ring finger's blood to mark the person's forehead and named her 'Nanzhu Jun'.

The master intervened, shouting, "Stop, she's your senior sister!"

But it was too late; they had already formed a pact. <<less
