   I'm currently writing two novels simultaneously. One is *The Lord of the Long Night: I Can Awaken Lost Professions*, a dark fantasy novel about lords and profession awakening. While everyone else is scrambling for existing professions, the protagonist can awaken those long-lost professions from history. The other is *Turbulent Times: Starting from Exile on the Frontier, Conquering the World*, a novel about chaotic times, frontier life, conquest, and political intrigue. It tells the story of a pawn exiled to the frontier, gradually building an army, seizing cities, and ultimately conquering the world. One is a fantasy coming-of-age story; the other is a chaotic power struggle. If it were you, which one would you read first?

    In short: Set against the backdrop of the early Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu era, this story features a Taoist law enforcement agency resembling the Embroidered Uniform Guard, criminal investigation, realistic Taoist cultivation, and political turmoil. The saying, "Arts are bounded by law, and the Tao is bound by discipline," is far more sophisticated than the "I desire boundless power to cultivate immortality" narrative. It truly speaks to a simple yet inspiring truth: one can seek the Tao, but cannot use it to harm others; sorcerers can communicate with the spirits, but cannot act lawlessly; even if you possess a thousand-year-old secret technique, the ghost of the Prince of Huainan, or the Taoist soldiers of a vassal king, the Taoist Censorate still possesses the "Great Ming Taoist Law." Tired of cultivation stories where "patriarchs are always hypocritical, immortals are forever detached from worldly affairs, and the protagonist ascends to immortality by picking up treasures along the way"? This Hongwu-era supernatural detective story, where "Taoist crimes are punished, murders committed with talismans are examined, and even celestial masters are subject to the dictates of historical destiny," is quite refreshing.

    If we compare the online literature market to an ocean, most books are like waves, coming and going quickly. This series is the underwater current—not noisy, but always there. It doesn't rely on systems, rebirth, or face-slapping; it relies on a setting almost no one has written about before: calligraphy + brain-computer interface. A 28-year-old calligrapher of the thin gold style has a biochip called "Xi Zhi Xin" implanted in the back of his neck. The chip uses his lifespan as fuel, predicting urban hazards through his calligraphy. Every stroke he writes costs him a portion of his life. It sounds like an urban superpower, but the author writes the act of "writing" with extreme realism. The rise and fall of the brushstrokes, the microscopic process of ink seeping into the paper fibers, the acoustic feedback of the brush tip gliding across the paper—these details make readers believe that this is not a superpower, but the limit of a craft amplified by technology. The first book, "Life and Death Ink Contract," focuses on "struggle." Starting from the loss of control in the exhibition hall, Xu Zhimo gradually discovers that he is being consumed, tracked, and monitored. He found Zhang Du's notebook on the underground platform, confirmed that his twin brother was marked "destroyed," and took the pen. The overall tone of the book is cold. Xu Zhiming almost never wins proactively. He is being pushed along. But it is precisely this passivity that makes the reader anxious and worried for him. The second book, "Sunlight Balance," focuses on "balances." The second-generation chip is implemented, powered by solar energy, no longer shortening lifespan. But the mask returns. The law comes. Regulation comes. He uses it to save people, but every use leaves an official record. He faces interviews and compliance reviews while tracing the mask's funding chain. The pen begins to write autonomously. It writes "I am still alive." This book is the fastest-paced and most exciting of the four. "She Chose the Last Tail" Eight-tailed ferryman, golden-tailed ferryman immortal. Nine lifetimes of repaying kindness, one golden tail to conclude. She chose the last tail, and from then on, fox demons have no more reincarnation, and the human world has no more debts.

Her uncle's family constantly exploited her, her mother favored her younger brother, and one hardship after another plagued her family. On the day of her college entrance exam, she missed the exam to save her best friend, shattering her dream of going to university💔 She sadly parted ways with her childhood sweetheart, Li Dongdong, her youthful love defeated by reality. Starting as a saleswoman in a clothing store, she rose step by step into the foreign trade industry; then she encountered her mother being scammed and incurring huge debts, losing all her savings in the financial crisis, and being cheated out of her job by her own uncle, experiencing several setbacks in her life. There were no cheat codes, no lucky breaks, she gritted her teeth and endured all the hardships✨ After awakening, she no longer compromised and tolerated, breaking free from the shackles of her original family. Seizing the opportunities of the times, she and her partner embark on a cross-border e-commerce business in apparel. Leveraging the Belt and Road Initiative, they sell Chinese-made clothing overseas, resisting malicious suppression from foreign capital and becoming dazzling female entrepreneurs. The twenty-year love-hate relationship between childhood sweethearts is incredibly touching! The male lead isn't a domineering CEO; he's an ordinary person who grew up following the rules, defying societal norms for love, giving up high-paying jobs and stock options to endure hardship alongside the female lead. Their mutual devotion, long-awaited reunion, and enduring love are anything but artificial. The book depicts the wave of layoffs, alleyway demolitions, the rise of foreign trade, and the internet revolution, brimming with the atmosphere of the era.

Spiritual valleys held wondrous flowers concealing profound methods, mysterious peaks and exotic beasts hid true elixirs. Love, hate, and passion entangled the immortal path, life and death, reincarnation, and the illusory realm lingered. If you ask what scenery lies here, turn the pages of books and chase after dreams of joy...

    I genuinely hope someone will read this book. Aside from the first chapter being a bit long and rambling for setup, the rest is incredibly exciting. If you don't like it, feel free to criticize. 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 give my work a chance. The following is an excerpt from the novel. If you like it, feel free to read it. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all the author's supporters. Content: As Li Siyue revealed herself, countless vengeful spirits shrouded in thick black energy surged forth from the ground like a tidal wave. Their faces were ferocious and terrifying. Some gripped Li Siyue's ankles and bit them, while others opened their fanged maws and lunged at her body. Terrifying screams echoed from all directions, reverberating throughout the entire cave. Li Siyue's eyes sharpened, and she instantly activated the Cold Moon Technique. In an instant, the cold moonlight surged from her body. The ghosts that had lunged at her before they could even touch her clothes were instantly frozen by the extreme cold contained within the moonlight, turning into crystal-clear ice sculptures suspended in the air. Li Siyue lightly touched the ground with her toes, and a visible ripple of moonlight spread out from her. The ghosts that had entangled her ankles didn't even have time to scream before shattering like glass within the ripples, dissipating into countless ice crystals. She leaped into the air, her spiritual power intertwining with the power of the cold moonlight, condensing into thousands of moon-colored flying swords around her. The swords spun wildly around her, emitting sharp whistling sounds. As the sword energy crisscrossed, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and a thick layer of frost instantly formed on the stone walls. Li Siyue lightly raised her jade-like hand and pointed towards the thousands of ice-sculpted ghosts suspended in mid-air. "Go!" A thousand flying swords shot out simultaneously, like a reversed silver meteor shower, each sword precisely piercing through an ice sculpture. The vengeful spirits of the ghosts were as fragile as paper before the moonlight flying swords. The moment they were pierced, the ice layer, along with the ghosts within, shattered into countless ice shards. The black energy was purified by the moonlight, emitting a hissing sound. Thousands of ghost soldiers were completely annihilated in a single breath. Then, even denser black energy surged forth from the cracks in the walls, from the corpses of cultivators, from the stone walls, and from the torches. Countless vengeful spirits surged out from all directions like a tidal wave, densely packed, filling the entire cave.
