(A fantasy novel set in an alternate world, with no harem, no formulaic tropes, no invincible protagonist, no idiotic decisions, and no wish fulfillment.)
"Volumes of painting and calligraphy, pages stained with blood"
The ley lines of the Six Realms: centered on the Eastern Court, five kingdoms lie scattered in the four directions. To secure harmony for generations to come, the capable are nurtured by the Seven Academies, while the principle of the "Sparrow" comes from the great nation of the Eastern Court. Seven leaders guard the six lands, protecting the true king's bloodline for a million generations and keeping the lamps of eternal light burning in countless homes.
But!
The story begins when...
After I confessed my feelings to my senior and was brutally rejected, one absurd thing after another started happening...
Of course, as you can see, this is a story about a loser of a boy named Chen Ming, and it has little to do with the grand world described above.
But that's only if he never enters that cycle of reincarnation.
