Name: The Emperor Falls, the Martial World Descends into Chaos, and I Have a Sword to Keep the World at Peace
Author: Northern Green Blade

Synopsis

[Classic xianxia] + [jianghu and court intrigue] + [ensemble cast] + [alternate world] + [swordsmanship] + [slow burn] + [no transmigration or rebirth]

A bounty hunter from a small town takes a job and is unexpectedly swept into the turmoil of the Eight Princes’ Rebellion in the capital.

When the blood moon rises over Weiyang Palace, Emperor Liang and the Demon Emperor die in battle, while the Demon Emperor vanishes without a trace.

The Duke of Tiance, guardian of the northern lands, rushes to the palace but cannot find the Imperial Seal.

The Sword Pavilion, which has remained aloof for three hundred years, enters the world to save the people from disaster.

The demon clans of the Eastern Sea seize the opportunity to wreak havoc, determined to find their emperor.

The Liangrong tribes of the northern border and the foreign tribes of the western frontier also eye the Central Plains hungrily.

The feudal lords raise their armies, seize the chance to fight for the throne, and plunge the people into another catastrophe.

The Sword Pavilion faces calamity, the Tiance Bureau falls, and demons and monsters run rampant across the Central Plains.

The gentry of Jiangnan lay their plans with painstaking care. The Daoist and Buddhist schools once again enter the world, while the Confucian scholar Zhuzi gives his life for the Way...

All for the people of the realm.

Splendor fades, leaving desolation in its wake; in a snap of her fingers, the woman he loves turns into a barren hill.

Warfires rage across the land, and the beat of war drums never ceases. When the realm thrives, the people suffer; when it falls, the people suffer all the same.

Old writings in paint and ink, idle gossip in the streets: the affairs of the previous dynasty all turn to dust.

Who, one wonders, dares mend the broken sky? The heroes of our age are the ones to watch!

How will a young man survive in this age of chaos?

With only the three-foot blade in his hand, he dares to bring peace to all generations!

I Read This Book Once, but I’ve Forgotten the Title and Can’t Find It

It's a quick transmigration story. In one world, the protagonist turns into something like a Travel Frog, except the others are frogs and she's a panda. She becomes a man's pet and travels around, bringing back a mermaid and a dragon to help make money. Before leaving the world, she snatches the original male lead's frog and gives it back to its owner.
