New Book: 【Becoming Rich in a Period Novel】

Qiao Qingyu transmigrated into a period novel, becoming the scummy ex-wife of the male lead, He Xiuyu.

She was a terrible character—lazy, foolish, and wicked.

She was a cannon fodder used to advance the plot, a tool for slapping faces, and a contrast to highlight the female lead's intelligence and kindness.

Everyone was looking forward to her early exit.

With wolves ahead and tigers behind, Qiao Qingyu wasn't worried, because she had a seed laboratory.

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

A scorching summer.... more>>

She saved her first love who despised her.

He didn't remember the past where he hated her.

because she liked the way he smiled warmly at her,

She lived with him.

"I want to live like this with you forever."

She was happy.

It felt like her first love had been perfectly fulfilled.

But she already knew.

Their end.

What would happen when his memory returned.

So she ran away.

She lived in hiding so that he could never find her again.

And not just any past but right before meeting her husband, Michael, the man she had ruined.

‘This is the first mistake I must correct in this life. That is…not getting involved with Michael.’

However, Michael seems peculiar.

"I... I need you. Please purify me."

He asked for purification first.
A paladin, this holy man, comes to me every night.

"Irene. My pair. My wife. Tonight, I want to be cleansed by you. Long and slow."

You were definitely a paladin in a previous life who wouldn't even lay a finger on me, right? <<less

I was planning to live quietly as a dutiful fake daughter-in-law…

“If you stay here, I’ll give you all of Ekian’s inheritance.”

But the Duke, my father-in-law, likes me too much.

“Why solve everything with money? How about adopting her and remarrying her?”

The Duchess, my mother-in-law, wants to mess up the family registry.

“You did marry my brother, right? You won’t leave if he comes back, right?”

Even my brother-in-law, the villain of the original story, clings to me!

Meanwhile…

“They said after a while, they’ll divorce me and find me a good remarriage prospect personally.”

“…Remarriage? You mean to marry again?”

The head of the information guild, whom I used to sell information to, is acting strangely.

“That husband… he might come back.”

What nonsense is this? According to the original story, the eldest son of the villain’s family remains missing.

Impossible.

After Qin Shu transmigrated into a novel, she found out that she was a fake who had taken her illegitimate younger sister’s place to cultivate immortality.... more>>

After eight years of cultivation, one day, the illegitimate sister entered the path of cultivation with the aptitude of a mere mortal, and Qin Shu’s cover was torn away in public. At only the third level of Qi Refining, she was ruthlessly expelled from the sect.

She had an extraordinarily beautiful face and was made into a cultivation furnace. Within three years, she died a tragic death.

Qin Shu stared at the sky outside the window, which was just beginning to lighten, and fell into deep thought.

Cultivate hard! Raise her level before the illegitimate sister begins her path! Try to survive!

When night fell and the other disciples were all asleep, she got up to secretly cultivate and outwork them all.

By accident, she discovered that moonlight seemed to enhance her cultivation.

Qin Shu couldn’t help but sigh — if the original host had been just a bit more diligent, she wouldn’t have died without ever realizing she was actually a genius.

...

The deeper she cultivated, the more shocked she became. Behind the stand-in illegitimate sister, there was another filthy secret.

The seemingly ordinary Senior Brother He in the original novel turned out to be a hidden powerhouse, Second Senior Brother had divine blood, and the Little Senior Sister was a descendant of the Vermilion Bird... the little black snake she casually picked up turned out to be an ancient beast.

More and more mythical beasts from the Classic of Mountains and Seas began to appear around her, and the long-buried secrets beneath the sea would finally be revealed to the world.

One day, as she lived in constant fear of being sold by her family for money, her brother accrued another debt and sold her as a nude model to a suspicious man. The man she met through this unfortunate event made her a dangerous proposal: to become his fake wife.

"I heard you say you'd repay the favor you owe me yesterday, is that correct?"

"Yes, that's right."

After her compliant response, he paused briefly before replying in a low voice, "Then, may I collect that debt in my own way?"

With those words, he swiftly removed his vest and shirt. Georgiana's mouth fell open as she watched him become half-naked in an instant. She had anticipated his muscular physique from his exposed arms and veins while he was painting, but his bare torso was even more impressive.

His broad shoulders and the wide chest beneath them were covered in taut muscles, leaving no part of him that wasn't firm. Especially his abs, which were sharply defined and sculpted, seemed impenetrable by any weapon. As she stared in a daze, forgetting to look away, he approached her and leaned down as if seeking permission.

Facing the dual blows of a terminal ALS diagnosis and the painful end of an eleven-year relationship, Su Ning retreats to his quiet countryside home, resigned to await his fate. With no family fortune, career success, or prospects, he embodies the "so what?" attitude of someone with nothing left to lose. His solitary plan to find peace in mundane tasks like weeding his overgrown garden takes an unbelievable turn when he discovers a group of thumb-sized, flying, cultivator-like beings – Ascendants from another realm – locked in a life-or-death battle with a common spider near a peculiar small tree.

Mistaking the ordinary, dying Su Ning for a powerful Immortal Realm being after he casually saves them, these miniature Saints and Fallen Creatures offer him their cultivation knowledge in gratitude and for protection. To his astonishment, a unique, jointly-created cultivation method actually works, beginning to heal his ravaged body and granting him superhuman strength.

Now, Su Ning navigates a bizarre dual existence: tending his garden, dealing with lingering ties to his past life (including a bewildered ex-girlfriend and a demanding former boss), and secretly acting as the unwitting 'Immortal Senior' to a growing population of miniature cultivators in his backyard. He provides them with simple food that acts as divine elixirs, witnesses their internal conflicts and Lower Realm grudges, and even acquires a ghostly classmate as an unexpected companion. As his own power grows and his health returns, Su Ning, the man who expected nothing, finds himself at the center of a hidden world, grappling with newfound abilities, strange responsibilities, and the lingering question – now that he might live, so what comes next? <<less

Daphne is considered the most faithful of the novitiates. She was caught mxstxrbating by Theodore Valentino, a young cardinal who was said to be darling of the gods.

“But you needn’t worry any longer. Let me help you, Sister.”

“What? What do you…”

"Hyung, why are you running away?"

Nam-woon reached for the doorknob behind him. But Kwon Seo-oh's long, thick hand suddenly grasped Nam-woon's hand on the doorknob, and with a click, the door was locked.

Shen Liuxiang stayed up all night reading a novel about a white lotus protagonist shou and his easy road to power. Having finished it, he thumped his chest and stomped his foot in unhappiness. ... more>>

In the novel, there was a villainous shizun who shared his name.

He was as beautiful as a flower, but would rather ruin his own looks to imitate others.

He was infatuated with the Bingshan Sword Venerable, who had his heart set on the protagonist shou. Foolish and shameless, he continued to entangle with and chase after the other.

He severed his connection to his father, the Venerable Emperor, and renounced his ties to his senior brother in the Sect. He fought to the death with his blood brother, the Demon Venerable.

For the Sword Venerable, he was even willing to get rid of his toughest rival-in-love—his own disciple, who would later become number one in the cultivation world!

After going to sleep, Shen Liuxiang woke up to find himself transmigrated as the villain Shizun in the book.

"Strive to look like the protagonist shou? Wake up, this immortal is the most beautiful in the world!"

"Sword Venerable, who? Is he stronger than my father, the Venerable Emperor?! Is he more handsome than my senior brother in the Sect?! Is he fiercer than my blood brother, Demon Venerable?!”

Facing the protagonist's greatest backer in the future, Zhou Xuanlan, Shen Liuxiang decided to grab onto the opportunity, seize his good fortune, and stifle the danger in the cradle.

However, his disciple was too well-behaved.

"All spiritual treasures in heaven and on earth belong to Shizun. All ancient relics belong to Shizun. This disciple also belongs to Shizun."

Shen Liuxiang: "...Alright, I’ll give you a chance QAQ"

Initially an indifferent shizun, Shen Liuxiang slowly became fiercely protective of his disciple. His disciple, in turn, was upright, righteous, and increasingly loyal towards him. However, right at this time, Shen Liuxiang miscalculated. The Zhou Xuanlan from the original novel had returned!

"Shizun has changed so much," the man spoke with a dangerous air, hugging him from behind, the low voice resounding right beside his ear, “but I like it very much."

Shen Liuxiang cried. He wanted his obedient disciple back! <<less

It’s Joo Dohwa, the heir to the ‘Four Seas Group’ that monopolizes the sea.

“I’ll take that one. How much?”

A relaxed and slow gaze that turns to look at him.

Normally, they would never have met, given their different social classes.

But Joo Do-hwa, who came all the way here to buy a person, had only one request for Bada.

“I’ll call you ‘hyung’ (older brother). In return, you speak to me informally. How about it?”

A ‘hyung’ he briefly spent time with as a child, the one who disappeared after stealing something important from him—

He asked Bada to imitate that ‘hyung.’

“We’re playing a role. You’re the hyung, and I’m the younger brother.”

The time limit is until he loses interest.

As he said this, his golden eyes were filled with curiosity toward the stranger in front of him.

It wasn’t a difficult request. At least not for Bada.
