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>>

Guided by the teachings of the scroll and fueled by his unyielding spirit, Li Wei begins to harness his qi, channeling it into his very being. His journey is one of arduous trials and fortuitous encounters, as he navigates the treacherous world of martial arts clans, formidable beasts, and ethereal realms.

As his power grows, so too does his understanding of the delicate balance between creation and chaos, Yin and Yang. Amidst battles that shake the heavens and bonds that transcend lifetimes, Li Wei grapples with his destiny: to restore harmony to a world on the brink of upheaval, and to ascend the celestial path as a true cultivator.

"Jade Chronicles: Ascension of the Celestial Path" follows Li Wei's evolution from a village boy to a martial legend, as he learns that true strength is born not just from the might of one's fists, but from the wisdom of the heart and the unity of the universe. <<less

Once Celebrated as a Genius Chancellor and Undefeated General, Yi Baek-ryeon, met a tragic end in her twilight years.... more>>

After dedicating her entire life to serving the emperor with unwavering loyalty, she was abandoned and forced to take her own life.

“I only wish to never again brush shoulders with Your Majesty,” she lamented with her last breath.

With that one ardent desire, she breathed her last.

“I must have committed some grave sin in a previous life.”

Opening her eyes, she found herself reincarnated as a three-year-old child.

Since she had already come this far, she decided to live a comfortable and leisurely life in her second life, far from the pursuit of heroism.

However…

“Very well. What is it you desire? Shall I have a lake dug and filled with peach juice, or shall I hang cookies from every tree for the birds to peck at?”

Why did she feel a familiar aura of the emperor emanating from this Grand Duke she had never met before?

This time, she was determined to live her own life, unburdened by the influence of others.

“Why? Are you trying to hang yourself again? You will not. You have always belonged to me, and what makes you think it will be any different in your second life?”

…But it seems that won’t be easy.

Your Majesty, may you live long and prosper. Please let me go. <<less

Poor little Qi Xi was on the roadside with his bedroll and an old cat. A luxury car suddenly stopped in front of him, and a handsome and fierce man got out.

–

Fu Yanchuan has a first love. He left him for his dream and remained single until he met a young man on the roadside who looked very much like his first love back then.

The young man seemed to be in a bad state of mind. He was temporarily obsessed with his thoughts.

Fu Yanchuan: Be my substitute and I will take you home.

Qi Xi: Then will you take care of me when I’m sick, comfort me when I’m sad, and give my cat the same care that you’ll give me until I die?

Fu Yanchuan: …Yes.

Qi Xi: Okay, when will the contract be signed?

Fu Yanchuan:…….

On the first night as a stand-in, Qi Xi took the initiative to get into Fu Yanchuan’s bed: This is what a stand-in should do. Isn’t this what should I do?

However, Fu Yanchuan only kissed him, and he blushed and gasped.

Qi Xi: This is what happens when I get nervous. Send me to the hospital quickly, otherwise your substitute will be gone.

After working as a stand-in for a month, Qi Xi failed his exam: Why is it so difficult? Can you teach me? Otherwise your stand-in will be bald.

After being a stand-in for a year, Qi Xi lay in Fu Yanchuan’s arms: Being your stand-in is so tiring. My mouth hurts, my throat hurts, and my waist hurts. If you don’t rub your stand-in, he will die of exhaustion.

In the second year of being a substitute, the first love came back, and his friend asked Fu Yanchuan: When will you dump Qi Xi and pursue your first love back?

Fu Yanchuan jumped up while exclaiming: Do you know how much I paid to raise him? He had to be fed when eating and coaxed when sleeping. He was injured every three days and sick every five days. I even had to watch him when we are sleeping, fearing that he would run out of energy! I’m afraid he will break when I hold him in my hand! Dump him? I’m afraid no one would want this life! …What did you just say about white moonlight? Huh? What do you mean my white moonlight? <<less

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.

“Tsk! You think I’m s*upid? If I really destroyed a town, a crusade of Epic-ranked Holy Knights would definitely come hunting me down. Even if I earned the points, there wouldn’t be any life left in me to spend them. I better just go be a kindly lollipop bandit.”
