Synopsis

Hell is empty, and the witches walk among us.

A letter from her grandmother’s will drags Zhang Xiaowu to the gaming table.

From then on, she is swept into a conspiracy over fate in the cultivation world.

The four great families are all in from the start, while she scrambles to seize life-fire to keep herself alive.

She has always believed she transmigrated into someone else’s body.

The truth is that her own body forced her out, then stuffed her into another one.

She must kill “herself” to keep “herself” alive.

Two crazed people.

One chases her with a blade, while the other insists on clinging to her.

And then there’s a thousand-faced puppet, wearing her face and determined to steal her life.

A century of cause and effect at the Xie residence, an illusion that locks away the spirit.

“You old geezer, look at you now.”

“My lady, that’s not the right way to address me.”

“Shut up and watch me finish you off.”

Ding!

This Is an Advanced Reading Slump Zone. Beginners, Stay Away

I've read 1,596 books, for a total of 2,838 hours and 38 minutes, and still have 682 books on my shelf. I'm really out of things to read. I won't ramble on, just recommend anything, any genre.

Are There Any Books With a Highly Intelligent, Meticulous Heroine Who Plans Every Move?

Looking for books similar to "In the 1960s, I Became the Scheming Female Lead's Stepping Stone". The female lead can suffer, but she must always get revenge. Good writing would be nice, but isn't essential. I just hope the golden finger isn't too overpowered; a little female-lead luck is fine. I still prefer smart female leads.

High Intelligence, Cunning Plans, Masterful Schemes, Treating the World Like a Chessboard

Looking for a novel with a protagonist like Murong Li from The Legend of Qin: someone who treats the world as a chessboard and all living beings as pieces, plans everything out, and plays life like a game, but is willing to become a piece on the board himself when necessary.

Political Scheming, Mutual Mind Games, Everyone Is Sharp, With No Absolute Good or Evil, Only Different Loyalties

Looking for books like She Was Reborn as a Treacherous Minister's Daughter, and Played the Role to Perfection. I really want a spirited, heroic female lead, like an ancient female general. The male lead shouldn't become lovesick the moment he meets her, and the supporting characters shouldn't be dumbed down. Everyone should have their own personality. Don't make all the glory...
