Synopsis

[No System]

[Traditional Fantasy Setting, Passionate Story with No Tragedies, Multiple Heroines Without a Harem Free-for-All, Dual Cultivation of Martial Arts and Confucianism, Martial World and Imperial Court]

[Not Fast-Paced. The early chapters have a lot of setup, so proceed with caution! Proceed with caution! Proceed with caution!]

He can be Li Fengyang, a scholar in white robes who brings peace to the realm with his brush.

He can also be Li Ziye, the Night Son in black, wielding a blade to cut through chaos.

Twenty years ago,

Li Ziye transmigrated into this world as an abandoned baby.

Armed with the business sense and memories of his previous life, he and the old man who adopted him founded an organization that made every power in the Great Zhou Dynasty tremble in fear!

The Night Never Returns!

But...

Though he is richer than a nation and blessed with extraordinary talent, he can't cultivate?

More precisely, people in this world need a [Spirit Bone] to cultivate. Without one, they cannot attain even the lowest rank.

And someone destroyed Li Ziye's Spirit Bone at birth?

So...

To restore his Spirit Bone, Li Ziye has no choice but to join the imperial court, distinguish himself, and earn the right to enter the Imperial Observatory.

He must also obtain the treasured [Marrow-Washing Bone-Cleansing Pill], which can restore his Spirit Bone.

But just as he passes the provincial examination...

The emperor dies, and a Female Emperor takes the throne?

So the entire Night Never Returns organization agrees!

Making a name for yourself is so hard. Why not just conquer the Female Emperor instead?

Right!

Join the selection for imperial consorts!!

Xianxia and Jianghu Like Sword Snow Stride, No Power Fantasy, No System

I don't want stories where everyone except the male lead has no intelligence. I've read too many of those goofy novels, and they're bad for your brain.

I'm Out of Books to Read. Any High-Quality Stories Without Over-the-Top Drama?

Looking for books similar to Dear Director Wen. I want high-quality writing, not mindless melodrama, and a female lead who isn't good at everything. Modern or historical settings are both fine. 😍
