    I'm recommending a dark fantasy novel. Could you, my heroes and valiant warriors, grace me with your presence? It's a dark, ensemble piece with a vast world-building and no female lead. The protagonist is the familiar Qin Shi Huang, the legendary emperor, who transmigrates to another world and rises from the bottom. It showcases imperial methods and cunning. No characters are portrayed as stupid; many heroes emerge, and there are no high-level battles. Every step requires calculation, strategy, and wisdom. To gain a powerful patron, he schemes to marry the elder's daughter, doing nothing but acquiring resources for cultivation. When resources fail, he steals from his classmates, disregarding friendship. To showcase his talent and gain benefits in the martial arts tournament, he ruthlessly kills the clan leader's daughter who helps him, destroying her with deadly blows. One wrong move and he falls into the abyss; one wrong step and his life is reduced to mere mortal.

    A new author is here to recommend their book. It's a large, satisfying read, with daily updates exceeding 10,000 words! The pacing is a little slow in the early stages, but the author updates quickly, so it's not too bad. [This book features decisive ruthlessness, cunning, and a focus on the demonic path.] My name is Wang Tu, a desperate outlaw in the cultivation world. Here's a brief synopsis: My name is Wang Tu, the "Tu" in "apprentice," a cultivation apprentice of the righteous Xuan Tian Sword Sect. Ha! How could that be? I, Wang Tu, the "Tu" in "desperate outlaw." As the leader of the demonic path, I ascended to the upper realm only to discover that ascension was a deception. The so-called immortals of the upper realm feed on those who ascend from the lower realm. After I, the leader of the demonic path, self-destructed and killed those so-called immortals in the upper realm, I was reincarnated and surprisingly accepted as a disciple by the righteous Xuan Tian Sword Sect. That's when things got interesting. What is righteous and what is evil? It's merely determined by the strong. The righteous sects also employ countless methods to compete for cultivation resources, some even more despicable. Arriving at the righteous sect, he discovered that this so-called righteous sect was far more interesting than their demonic cultivation world. Entering the righteous sect revealed that there are all sorts of birds in a big forest. A mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, favored and pampered, dared to provoke higher-level cultivators and do as she pleased? The cultivation world is ruled by the strong, and might makes right. He didn't understand the righteous path, but that was how the demonic path operated! Any low-level cultivator who dared to act this way would have been skinned alive and refined into the Myriad Souls Sails long ago. But it didn't matter; now that he was here, he had plenty of ways to deal with this murky, supposedly righteous sect. Otherwise, how could these scoundrels possibly withstand those powerful figures once they ascended to the upper realm? They would only become food for those who strengthened their enemies. Rather than that, why don't you all enter my coffin for a chat and lend me a hand? I am Wang Tu, a desperate outlaw of the cultivation world.
