Slow burn + martial world and court intrigue + transmigrate + no System + multiple heroines + lie flat + mind games
Note: This is not a wish-fulfillment novel that gets exciting from the start. The early chapters involve a lot of setup.
Chen Tianyi spent his entire life as a corporate drone, only to transmigrate to another world after dying from overwork. Just when he thought he could finally lie flat, he discovered that cultivators were everywhere, shamans could summon tribulation lightning with their rituals, and even the old locust tree at the village entrance was a peerless sword capable of suppressing the Demon Emperor.
He had planned to live out his days in peace in Green Ox Village, but one thing after another kept cropping up.
“You cultivate immortality, I farm. You seek the Dao, I pickle salt.” Chen Tianyi raised his middle finger at the sword immortals filling the sky. “But if anyone touches my braised pork, millet wine, or Widow Wang at the village entrance...”
As his woodcutter’s knife came down, ninety thousand li of stars and rivers rolled backward. Later, the history books would record: that day, cooking smoke became sword qi, and salted fish attained immortality.
I finished reading it in one go, and so far there aren't any major flaws, except for some issues with the wording. The plot is quite original. One thing that's bothering me is why Chen Yin gave Qiao'er that letter—what was its purpose?
The plot is good, and the pacing is well-handled, but the writing style still has issues. There's not enough foreshadowing, and it needs polishing. Looking forward to the author's improvement! 👍👍👍
It's great, keep it up, author!
It's actually pretty good. I thought the pretentious plot was cliché, but it turns out it was intentional, haha. Not bad, it'll keep me entertained for a while longer.
Looks good, keep it up!
It's well-written and skillful. The two female characters are quite well-developed and likable. Although there are some clichéd plot points involving face-slapping, they don't detract from the overall effect.
Good, very wired
Great, I really like it.
It's a good show with multiple female leads; if you prefer single female leads, don't buy it.
