Can jianghu wanderers ever refrain from messing around?... more>>

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.

But jianghu didn't work as simply as that.

It was a society of using one's might to carve one's path, of competing for artifacts and debating one's skills.

Legends would never fade with the withering time, just as hatred would not disappear in a peaceful age.

As the golden time passed, all splendor would be reduced to dust. With it, Glimpse of Grace** was sealed away from the world.

After a year, Helian Chunfeng at last saw it again, that long-gone smile on Hua Baisu’s face — reckless and free, unrestrained and unobstructed — but it was at the time the other had resolutely sacrificed himself for him.... more>>

He always thought Hua Baisu ought to hate him. Just as he himself couldn’t overcome that obstacle in his heart all this time; likewise, as a man, how could the other willingly submit to be under him? But when the other was on death’s doorstep, uttering such sincere words, the sudden flood of pain and despair rising from the depths of his heart let him see the light: as it turns out, what lingered between them was never hatred, ah…

Perhaps Heaven took pity on this true love that was let down; Helian Chunfeng, unexpectedly, was reborn and returned to a few years ago. He finally realized what feelings Hua Baisu harbored all that time, voluntarily stranded in the imperial harem in the foreign land — and also how, for the sake of that ridiculous self-esteem of his, the other party took risk to conceive his flesh and blood for him, ultimately resulting in the pregnant and the unborn dying together in the finale.

Going through this life again, he can give up anything, his only wish being: let Hua Baisu be happy and worry-free, and live for a long, long time. <<less

She crossed into another world one day, it was forced, but she endured! Three months later, her belly largened, she admitted it! Six months later, she laid an egg, and she completely panicked!... more>>

But ever since she laid that egg, she had been robbed, poisoned, chased, and at the end, she stepped onto an endless journey of hiding. She even concealed herself in her own storage space. Not only did those people want the egg, they want her life, and they even want the space!

If she could endure that, what else could she not endure? If one comes, poison one. If two comes, poison a pair!

Finally, on the day when a certain egg broke its shell, an organism which came to “spread seeds” appeared, and it actually stared at her with a face of dislike, “So you’re the woman who will extend this king’s bloodline?”

She was finally enraged! Even if it was an incomparably arrogant divine dragon, she was going to poison it into a cute and obedient little insect! <<less

When they met the steady and unperturbed, calm and collected her, the her without desire and demand, everything seemed to change!

She let them understand a fact of objective existence that had yet been ignored by the people of the world:

Who said that women are not equal to men?

Who said that women rely on the peach blossom face of beauty?

Who said that women are unable to support this side of the sky?

She, Jun BingLing, the reborn ugly-duckling who bore the memories of previous generations. Before the age of ten she wore a veil to cover her ugliness, her fate bizarre and bumpy. After the age of ten she wore a veil to cover her beauty, her life becoming beautiful and dazzling, brimming with legendary color!

When Fu Nian first met Chu Zhaoyi, the late emperor was still alive, and Chu Zhaoyi was still a Wangye.... more>>

But at their first meeting, Fu Nian experienced the ferocity of this future ruler.

A cacophony rang in his mind, and as the metallic tang of blood flowed along his numbed skin, Fu Nian heard that devilish voice tell him,

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler. Just a bit of thunder, and you’re reduced to such a state.”

Later, he would hear these words again, but it would be a long time later.

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler,” Chu Zhaoyi pronounced deliberately by Fu Nian’s ear.

With the remnants of his strength, Fu Nian struggled to suppress a sob, “Your Majesty, such thunder and rain, this humble subject… truly doesn’t deserve.”

[Opening in November]
Fu Nian’s first life ended due to poison.

Sensing his impending fate, he believed that the heart-connecting gu inside him was planted by a pitiable scapegoat, ordered by the ruler. Not wanting to implicate innocent people, he forcefully removed the gu from his heart, gasping his last breath only after handing it to the Imperial Guards.

After death, Fu Nian realized that the one who had planted the heart-connecting gu wasn’t anyone else, but Chu Zhaoyi, the one above ten thousand others. He thought of Chu Zhaoyi as heartless and merciless, someone who didn’t trust him, let alone love him.

Only in death did Fu Nian know that his master, who had plucked him from the pile of corpses and nurtured him, didn’t treat him as a disposable pawn, but genuinely cared for him. After Fu Nian’s death, his master went madly searching for medicine, going so far as to use living people as ingredients, all to save Fu Nian’s life.

His Senior Brother, too, surprised him. Fu Nian had thought that their last meeting before parting ways was the night his Senior Brother gifted him a sword.

Little did he expect that the one keeping their childhood sword manuals was his Senior Brother, and the one keeping the birthday gift he sent was also his Senior Brother. And after his death… it was his Senior Brother who clung to the jar containing the heart-connecting gu that he had dug out, crying uncontrollably.

But what surprised Fu Nian the most was Chu Zhaoyi.

He never thought that Chu Zhaoyi, whom he believed never truly loved him.

Would, after his death, hold onto his already stiffened body, gently place the phoenix crown and red wedding robes he never dared dream of onto him, kiss him devoutly over and over again, and even, like they did in their lifetime, sleep side by side through the night.

Awakening from a deep slumber, Fu Nian discovers a chance to rectify all the regrets of his previous life.

Everything is still within reach.

He, Ye Han, was destined to be alone for the rest of his life. However, his destiny had no effect on animals, and he ended up being conquered by a spiritual snake. He took all the sufferings of life in his stride—he was a hypocritical medicinal immortal, a real poison physician, an irresponsible martial arts leader, and also the greatest living bodhisattva in people's hearts. At their first meeting, he snatched its food while it almost strangled him to death.... more>>

At their second meeting, he saved its life despite laughing at its plight, but it returned kindness with ingratitude, biting him and leaving a mark behind. At their third meeting, it saved him from falling off the cliff, and it didn't understand why the man was in such a bad state when he was actually born to enjoy good fortune. In order to find the answer, it stayed by him and never left his side. He later became blind, but couldn’t clear the poison as the antidote had a missing ingredient—its gall. Having fallen for him, it offered him its gall, and he had to return the favour with the rest of his life. <<less

Diello Argenta’s name engraved on my back indicated that I was his soulmate… but I was a fake.
One day, I possessed the unscrupulous villainess’ body inside an adult novel.

While becoming a fake couple with the innocent Diello Argenta, acting sweet day and night…

“If your soulmate appears, it’s time to end the contract.”

Hearing that, Diello, the Duke of Argenta, gave me a long look.

“When a Ferro dies, a new Ferro will be assigned.”

As he grabbed the tip of my chin, the distance between us shortened.

“…I’ll kill them until it’s you.”

What’s with him?

Out of nowhere, he started obsessing over me. Wasn’t he supposed to be a pure and sweet guy?! <<less

Wen Ying, frail and sickly since childhood, found his greatest joy in gacha games.... more>>

One night, after hundreds of failed attempts to draw an SSR, his towering rage summoned a demon. Expecting to be devoured, Wen Ying instead defeated the demon and became one himself.

His great-grandfather sent a congratulatory message: "You are the hope of our clan! Strive to become the Demon King and fulfill our ancestral wish! I'll send you to the demon realm to study."

Wen Ying replied, "I refuse."

His great-grandfather warned, "A young demon in the human world will weaken and die, either slain by exorcists or turned into a specimen."

Wen Ying relented, "…Let's go."

As an ordinary Mirror Demon, aspiring to be the Demon King was like an underachiever dreaming of getting into Tsinghua or Peking University.

Wen Ying immersed himself in his demonic powers, turning them into a card-drawing game.

As a demon realm underachiever, to avoid failing his first class test, Wen Ying used his demon tail to hook the tail of a ferocious three-headed Hellhound classmate, signaling him not to challenge his rank.

The Hellhound didn't challenge Wen Ying, but his expression was odd.

After class, the malevolent bird classmate explained, "When a demon hooks another demon's tail with their own, it means 'I like you.'"

Wen Ying exclaimed, "Damn it!" <<less

~From Song of the Yue Boatman

Hundreds of rivers converge, the thousand-mile rise of Taishan’s bluffs, and a myriad of waves surge in the Eastern Sea.

All beneath the heavens, is the extent of the ruler’s land. All within the territory of a state, are each the ruler’s subjects.

Beacons light up all over the Divine Land, danger lurks in every corner of the State of Yong.

After reuniting with Geng Shu, Jiang Heng begins to put all his effort into assisting the ruler of Yong State’s plans, but he unexpectedly falls into perilous situations time and time again. Geng Shu, who always accompanied Jiang Heng by his side, is acutely aware that the various mishaps all appear to be closely related to Jiang Heng’s past—was Jiang Heng really his own blood-related younger brother?

These two extraordinary young men wander throughout the country from state to state, experiencing trials, however, the truth obtained uncovered a cruel and unexpected past that couldn’t be erased. The lingering heroic spirits each possess their own unfulfilled long-cherished wishes. With the great Divine Land finally unified, how would they confront their own choices of the future?

The seven stars of the Northern Sky bore witness to the end of a stormy period of history; until the ruins once again transform into the richly ornamented tall towers of a manor.

When the blazing city lights languidly flicker, those people and events worth engraving into memory, will forever be preserved within every stroke of ink in a painting of this vast expanse of rivers and mountains. <<less
