When My Eyes Opened, There Were No Immortals Left in the World 双眸睁开，世上再无仙人
(This is a story where you might not learn the heroine’s name even by the end, but it really does have just one heroine. The first five chapters set things up, and the story gets going in earnest from Chapter Six.) “You’re called He Huan? My name sounds nicer.” “Then what’s your name?” “My name is...” A beam of light pierces the darkness. His eyes see the light again, but the figure he last saw is gone. All sins must one day be atoned for.

This is my first time writing a work like this, and I'm lacking in ex

Liu Bowen: Tides of Fortune in the Imperial Court 刘伯温之宦海沉浮
Liu Bowen: Rising and Falling in the Sea of Officialdom abandons the magical realism commonly used in earlier works about Liu Bowen. Its main approach is realism, with touches of romanticism.

It depicts both the contests of wits and political maneuvering among strat

When he reeled in his line, he thought he’d caught one last fish as a farewell, but it turned out to be a bamboo pole. At least he hadn’t come back empty-handed, so Lu Chen took the pole
