Name: I Only Wanted to Roam the Martial World, but You Insisted I Become a Marquis
Author: A Parting Toast of Wine

Synopsis

No transmigration, no rebirth, no golden finger. An original fictional historical martial arts world, where the imperial court is not far above and the martial world is not far away.

When Yi Yuntian was eight, he protected five-year-old Mu Xiaoxiao and was imprisoned by order of the foolish former emperor. After twelve years, the emperor’s wise son, Xuanyuan Yi, told me that his father had been somewhat out of line. He not only set me free, but also made me a marquis.

What? You’re asking what I did for those twelve years? The world reviled me, slandered me, and mocked me. I laughed at how accurately they saw me. My family thought of me, missed me, and never forgot me. I told them, “If you can’t forget, your call will surely be answered!”

By mooching off my elders, living off them, and taking advantage of the young, I inherited the world’s greatest estate, the Ink Silence Manor, with twenty-four seasonal maids at my side.

The court is treacherous, the martial world perilous, and the realm in turmoil. I, Yi Yuntian, have returned. Don’t be afraid. Maybe I’ll be late arriving, but I’ll be gone again in a flash.

A middle-aged beginner, with his passion not yet cooled and what little patience he has left, dares to sketch the martial world he imagines, neither too big nor too small. He hopes to share feelings and ambitions that may be wishful thinking or may have been left behind by changing times. Come along with me, everyone!

Are There Really No High-Quality Women’s Fiction Books Anymore?

Looking for books similar to "Quick Transmigration: The Charming Beauty of a Villainous Cannon Fodder". I’m so frustrated. Some quick-transmigration authors really don’t understand what quick transmigration means, and drag a single arc out for a hundred chapters. I hope someone can recommend some fast-paced, high-quality stories with no romance. No number one...

Any good martial arts stories? People hardly write wuxia these days. I miss it. Nowadays, everyone gets a System and cheats their way to immortality and godhood, with divine physiques and all that. I'm sick of it. It's so boring. I want to feel the thrill of roaming the world with a sword and settling scores with a sense of justice.
