Alternate History, Political Schemes, and Ambition: Drunk, I Lie in a Beauty's Lap; Awake, I Hold the Power of the World

Are there really no stories like this on Tomato Novel? Where are the tales of sleeping with beauty on your arm and waking to command the world? Ideally, the protagonist should be ruthless, wield power over the realm, and be highly resourceful.

Wuxia, the Martial World, and the Imperial Court

Through a hundred battles, I roam the martial world with my flute held high; heroes brave the storm, and life and death weigh little. A pair of mandarin ducks endure the silkworm’s bitter toil, while a smile blooms beside a white horse’s saddle.

Wuxia, the Martial World, and the Imperial Court
