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.

Chi Chuchu woke up with a start and found herself transmigrated as the beautiful but crazy, constant trouble-seeking ‘green tea’ (read ‘b*tch’) female supporting character in the novel she had been reading.... more>>

The handsome youth with the coffee-brown hair, his face covered with fashionable sunglasses and a mask was the enormously popular celebrity idol, Yan An.

He rapped his fingers on the table, looked at his girlfriend, Chi Chuchu, and with an unhappy expression, pointed to the side and asked,

“So, this guy is also your boyfriend?”

The person that Yan An pointed at was Ling Yiyan, the older brother of the heroine of the original book and the male heir of the Ling family.

“…”

Who will save me?

Chi Chuchu focused…… Suddenly, a few tears fell on the girl’s delicate face, like raindrops on a pear blossom. Pretending to wipe away her tears, Chi Chuchu said softly,

“You guys don’t know but in fact, I have a twin sister, her name is Chi Wanwan…”

Killian tilted his head to the side. Soon, he let out a soft chuckle and sat on the sofa, saying softly, “Then take out what you have. I don’t know what it is, but is should be attractive enough. I don’t like cheap deals.”
