    Afraid of dying, I transmigrated into the body of a lowly bandit! And this bandit is a lunatic! Li Yu is now a little panicked, realizing that he, who should have been dead, has actually come back to life! Just now, while he was half asleep, endless chatter kept drilling into his ears! He opened his eyes in a half-asleep state and was startled awake! He quickly closed his eyes and continued to pretend to be asleep. Good heavens! Just now, he saw several young men with guns and knives sitting not far away, dressed in tattered clothes! And there was a strange smell about them. Fortunately, the men seemed to be very engrossed in their conversation and did not notice Li Yu's movement. They continued their lively conversation, and Li Yu endured the strange smell and listened carefully to their conversation! He heard one of the young men speak. "The chief has been away on business for days, he should be back soon, right? I wonder what good stuff he'll bring back this time?" "Even if he brings back something good, it won't be for us brothers. Last time he brought back two fair-skinned young ladies, but the chief wouldn't let us touch them. He played with them for two days and they both died!" Another young man chimed in, "Who says otherwise? Many brothers in the village have complaints about this! Everyone's risking their lives up front, while he hides behind and shouts a few times, then he gets all the benefits back at the village! This Dragon Horn Mountain has become his personal fiefdom!" "Shh! Are you all crazy? Talking about this in the village, be careful it gets back to the chief!" Hearing this conversation, Li Yu felt a surge of panic. What kind of indecent place had he ended up in? Dragon Horn Mountain? The chief? The village? Two young ladies killed in two days?! This was definitely not a good place; he had to find a way to leave quickly! But then he thought, wait a minute! He was clearly dead, so what was he doing alive? His hands and feet weren't tied up, and he wasn't locked up. It seemed he was in cahoots with them! Could it be?! Had he stumbled into the legendary underworld? But the people around him were clearly alive! Could it be, could it be? Could it be! Had he transmigrated?! Just as Li Yu was lost in thought, a burly man with a face full of scars, probably over six feet tall, came up to him and gently nudged him. Li Yu jumped up in fright! His face instantly contorted with terror. The men around him, seeing his reaction, seemed even more frightened than he was. They trembled as they stood up and took a few steps back. The man who had nudged him said timidly, "Boss... Boss! I'm just a little kid, sorry for disturbing your sleep!" Hmm... Why do these guys seem so afraid of me? And they're calling me boss? Li Yu tried hard to control his facial expression, forcing what he thought was a friendly smile: "What's wrong?" Seeing this smile, the men were even more frightened, barely able to breathe. Had this lunatic had another episode? Last time, they were all chatting and laughing, and somehow he'd said something wrong? This lunatic had suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed the previous leader to death! The smile on his face then was exactly the same as this one! The men wondered who this lunatic would stab this time. Seeing the men trembling with fear, Li Yu's courage swelled. Calming himself, he adopted a boss-like demeanor: "Why did you wake me up?" "Boss, it's time for the shift change, and Wang Ermazi and the others haven't arrived yet!" The man who had woken him stood there stiffly. Li Yu feigned anger: "Then what are you standing there for? Go find them!" The men, instead of being alarmed, were delighted. They weren't afraid of their boss's anger, but rather his smiling face! The boss might get angry and give everyone a good scolding, but if he hears something bad and then smiles at you, you'd better be careful! One of the men immediately ran out to find someone, while the others, seeing him run off, secretly regretted not seizing the opportunity to find him and having to stay behind to carefully serve this lunatic! After all this commotion, Li Yu finally had time to observe his surroundings. He found himself in a dilapidated doorway. A worn-out double door made of round wood couldn't stop the cold wind constantly pouring in. It seemed to be either late autumn or early winter. Li Yu glanced at the dark sky outside and subconsciously tightened his clothes. The slippery feeling almost made him vomit. He then sniffed his own body! Ugh! That's damn pungent! He silently cursed the original owner of this body for being unhygienic. Looking at his men sitting in the corner, they were all young men in their twenties, dressed similarly to him! The only difference was that he was wearing cloth shoes with open toes, while his henchmen were either barefoot or wearing tattered straw sandals! When Li Yu looked him over, the henchmen shrank back into the corner. Li Yu wasn't sure how old his body was, but he felt it was younger than his henchmen, probably around sixteen or seventeen at most. Why were these henchmen so afraid of him? The original owner of this body must not have been a pushover, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to control these guys! He was looking around when, in the pitch-black night, seven or eight people jogged towards him, one of whom was the man who had gone out to look for someone earlier! Li Yu quickly composed himself, controlled his expression, and launched into a tirade: "What the hell have you been doing? Dragging your feet around and making me starve in the wind all night?!" A slightly overweight man with a pockmarked face quickly stepped forward with a fawning smile! "I had an upset stomach when I came in, so I went to the restroom! That took a bit of time, boss, please calm down!" Li Yu, true to his character, scolded, "You're always causing trouble! If this happens again, I'll skin you alive!" At that moment, Wang Ermazi thought: Didn't you tell me to look for something? Why are you scolding me again? Is this some kind of act for these people? Hmm! That's it! The boss is truly reliable! So he leaned closer to Li Yu and whispered, "Boss! We couldn't find it. We don't know where he hid it!" Li Yu's face stiffened. It seemed the original owner had instructed Wang Ermazi to look for something! But he had no idea! Fortunately, Wang Ermazi had his head down and didn't see his expression. Li Yu coughed a few times and, also lowering his voice, followed Wang Ermazi's words, saying, "Got it! Keep looking when you have the chance, but don't let the brothers know for now!" Li Yu stood up and yawned! "Let's go back to sleep!" With that, he slowly stood up and walked outside. Li Yu looked at his underlings standing dumbfounded on either side, cursing inwardly: Why don't you guys just leave! I don't know the way back!

    I think this book is pretty good, and there are several reasons why it's worth reading. First, the premise is excellent (it breaks away from traditional cultivation novels and has an extremely vast world-building); second, the character details are superb (it doesn't follow the usual path); and third, the supporting characters left a deep impression after reading (their names are all very well-chosen).

    A 9.9-Point masterpiece! "Bloodstained Family" is definitely not your average revenge story. On the surface, it's a tale of twin sisters seeking revenge, but at its core lies a complex web of power struggles and human nature within a wealthy family. The "substitute marriage" is a facade; the real purpose is to take lives. The plot is intricately woven, the characters are incredibly compelling, and it poignantly portrays the coldness and rebirth of ancient Chinese society. If you're tired of superficial, wish-fulfillment novels, this high-quality masterpiece is a must-read!

    Reader note

    I initially thought it was a typical campus romance novel, but upon opening it, I discovered it was a suspenseful mystery disguised as a campus story. The male lead spent ten years in a mental hospital, seemingly frail but actually meticulous. His approach to the school beauty wasn't love at first sight, but rather a decade-long act of protection. The foreshadowing is plentiful, with each chapter laying the groundwork for the kidnapping conspiracy of yesteryear. The interactions between the male and female leads are restrained yet deeply affectionate, without any melodramatic misunderstandings, making their joint investigation a very enjoyable read. Fans of urban suspense can confidently jump in; there are no major plot holes throughout.

    Tianjiao implores all godfathers, godmothers, and godmothers to pay attention to this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long-winded and setting up, the rest is truly amazing! It's a group cultivation story, full of action and excitement, with a single-eyed female lead. After reading the second chapter, if you don't like it, feel free to criticize me. This book is entirely handwritten; I've poured a tremendous amount of effort into it. I know hard work doesn't guarantee success, and relying on sympathy won't get you anywhere. I just want to fight for my writing. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, feel free to take a look. Tianjiao thanks all godfathers and godmothers here, and I bow to you all. Content: As Liu Yu stretched out her hands, the void behind her trembled violently, and a nine-tailed fox phantom, tens of feet tall, suddenly appeared, radiating a terrifying, savage pressure. Then, Liu Yu clasped her hands together, and the nine-tailed fox phantom behind her simultaneously extended its front paws, slamming them together against the incoming death energy spear. Boom! The deathly spear shattered between the fox's claws, turning into a thick cloud of black mist, which was then gently blown away by the nine-tailed fox's phantom. Xu Feng laughed and clapped his hands, "Impressive, impressive, worthy of being a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator... Even more wonderful than I expected." He licked his lips, "Only prey like you is worth tasting." With that, he wiped the smile from his face and turned to the other ghost generals, "What are you all standing there for? Attack!" As soon as he finished speaking, the six ghost generals, except for Qian Yuan, transformed into six streaks of black mist and shot straight towards the cultivators except for Liu Yu and the other nine. The next moment, desperate screams rose and fell as one cultivator after another was grabbed by the throats and lifted off the ground by the ghost generals. The ghosts rapidly drained the blood and yang energy from their bodies, causing them to wither and shrivel, eventually leaving behind empty-eyed, gaping corpses tossed carelessly into pools of blood. The remaining cultivators, driven mad by the prospect of death, launched a fierce attack on the ghost general. In an instant, all their most powerful and secret techniques were unleashed, the terrifying energy fluctuations further exacerbating the already devastated landscape. The earth was torn open, leaving deep, bottomless ravines; rubble, severed limbs, and fragments of magical artifacts mingled together, turning to dust in the raging energy turbulence.
