   00:20 1 The protagonist, Chen Liuhe, is a classic example of a "hidden dragon in plain sight." He appears carefree and even somewhat roguish, but his strength is unfathomable, possessing both high intelligence and formidable martial prowess. This stark contrast (seemingly ordinary vs. Actually invincible) is the core appeal of this "cool" novel. Watching him repeatedly use his absolute power to slap the faces of villains who look down on him provides readers with immense emotional catharsis and satisfaction. Decisive and ruthless: The protagonist is strong-willed, vengeful, and never a saint. His counterattacks against enemies and provocations are often clean, swift, and devastating. This "satisfying" pace makes for a very enjoyable read, without any sense of frustration.

   Although it's still being serialized, it's incredibly good, and I'm urging for updates every day. Judging from the title, I thought it would be just another typical transmigration novel about a female doctor and palace intrigue, with a slightly injured male lead—a satisfying female-centric story. But it's not just that! It also explores the connection between people from the apocalypse and this era, making the plot very fresh. Each chapter always has unexpected twists. I don't usually enjoy reading long, serialized novels, but I've already finished all the updated chapters of this one, and it's definitely worth reading!!! The author's writing is truly excellent; please update more frequently!!! 😳😳

   The first book is about a lowly employee in the underworld who gets transported to a cultivation world. The female protagonist is skilled in alchemy, weapon crafting, beast taming, and so on, but insists she's a sword cultivator—it's a very funny novel. The second book features a female protagonist with a powerful "family background (a bunch of old fathers)," a twisted cultivation style, and aspires to be a healer, but always ends up healing the opposite of what she intends. She's also a skilled swordswoman with an endless supply of treasures—another very funny novel.

The cry breaks the sky, and the pearl of Mu Mansion comes to the world! When Mu Yunqing opened his eyes, he thought he was in the Palace of Hell - after all, he was being beaten on the butt and roaring in his ears. Unexpectedly, he was stunned by the spiritual laughter of his biological father Mu Yan. A handsome face came closer and said, "My dear, call me daddy!" She blinked and recognized "Yin Cha" as her father, and from then on she started the most outrageous life of a group pet in the world of cultivation. ✨ The group's favorite is Tiancheng, and the whole family is going crazy! The only legitimate daughter of the Mu family for three hundred years was born with the palm of the hand. Dad Muyan hugs his daughter and laughs so loudly that the house is shaken, and the brothers compete to be the "sister control". After entering the immortal sect, things got even worse— Her eldest brother stuffed his pockets full of spirit stones: "Junior Sister, spend them as you please!" Her second brother was sharp-tongued and protective: "Touch her? Ask my sword first!" Her cold-faced master secretly showed off his disciple: "This brat is like me, born rebellious!" Everyone became "doting maniacs," piling up spirit pills and magic treasures, unaware that their little girl had already prepared a Dragon Overlord script, slashing hypocritical righteousness with her left sword and beating black-hearted villains with her right staff, making the cultivation world howl in despair: "How come this ancestor is indestructible and gets stronger with each battle?!" ⚡️ Frank as a flame, sword and staff sweeping away the turbidity! She considers herself "returned from the underworld," indifferent to life and death, ready to fight anyone who disagrees! Treasure hunting in a secret realm? One sword overturns the schemers: "Everyone lie down, I'll gladly accept the treasure~" Immortal sect competition? She sneers as she picks up the prodigies with her staff: "Stop talking nonsense, draw your sword!" Seemingly naive and innocent, she is actually insightful and discerning, confronting hypocrites and protecting those with true hearts. Those who used to mock the Mu family for "having daughters who are useless" now tremble like quails when they see her passing by carrying her cane: "Little Miss! It's a sunny day today, not a good time for fighting!"

    Help! Does anyone understand the intricate schemes of a knife-selling wife?! Everyone, does anyone know?! I just stumbled upon a contemporary romance novel with a mind-blowing premise: "Why Did You Mess With Her! She's a Knife-Seller (Tu Shan She Dao)." The fateful couple, Tu Shan Jiu and Xie Shiyu, has me glued to the screen! Tu Shan Jiu, the 283rd generation knife-selling master of the Xuanmen sect, is born with supernatural abilities and divination skills, but due to a family curse, she's nearing the end of her life and can only prolong it by marrying Xie Shiyu (this premise is thrilling!). The key is that she's ridiculously forgetful—she doesn't collect payments for knives bought on credit, instead throwing the ledger at Xie Shiyu as "love homework," employing a reverse psychology tactic of "you marry me, so you have to help me collect debts!" Xie Shiyu, the head of the Xie family, the richest family in Nancheng, appears aloof and domineering, but is actually Tu Shan Jiu's fiercely protective husband. (The last sentence is a separate, unrelated story: "Questioned about carrying scissors at airport security?") His wife calmly lends him a knife, predicting a bloody disaster, and he instantly understands and cooperates; the feng shui of the Xie family ancestral home collapses? His wife uses geomancy to save the day, and he silently stands by her side. Most amazingly, when demons roam freely in the underworld's rifts, and his wife is going to the Taoist sect for an exam to exorcise them, he directly "trades his life for hers" to accompany her in battle—what a crazy aesthetic of loving someone with one's life on the line! A metaphysical reversal: Tu Shan Jiu casually lends a knife to Xie's second brother at the airport, predicting "a bloody disaster in seven days," and then she actually gets into a car accident; she performs feng shui consultations and breaks stagnation for powerful figures, turning "metaphysical slaps in the face" into a thrilling script—one second they question her as a charlatan, the next they kneel and beg, "Miss Tu Shan, save me!" A Powerful Family's Shura Field: The Xie family initially looked down on Tu Shan Jiu as a "country bumpkin," but she used her mystical skills to utterly humiliate them, transforming from a despised wife into a "living goddess" sought after by everyone in the Xie family. Her domineering husband defends her at a family meeting: "What my wife says is the golden rule!" So satisfying! A Fated Marriage: A dual storyline of family curse and underworld anomalies. Every time Tu Shan Jiu uses her "borrowed knife" technique to extend her life, she suffers backlash. Xie Shiyu accompanies her in exorcising demons while secretly searching for a way to extend her life. This sense of "life for life" destiny, sweet yet bittersweet, is enough to make your heart stop! Mysticism + wealthy family + crazy romance—who can resist this?! While other sweet novels focus on "domineering CEOs spoiling their wives," this one directly plays on "the borrowed knife wife teaching the domineering CEO a lesson." Feng shui, psychic abilities, demon-slaying, and power struggles within a wealthy family are interwoven, offering new excitement in every chapter! Tu Shan Jiu and Xie Shi Yu's journey from a "contract marriage" to "love at first sight" is a testament to their unconventional and eccentric aesthetics. Watching them flirt and save each other in this metaphysical world kept me glued to the screen all night until my phone was burning hot! A must-read for anyone looking for something to read! If you love metaphysical thrillers and eccentric romance, missing out on Tu Shan Jiu and Xie Shi Yu's destined love will truly leave you heartbroken!

    Male-oriented fiction. When I first started reading, I was completely hooked, reading like crazy. I read the Japanese part a little slower. Male-oriented fiction opened a whole new world for me, haha. I really like Qi Ye. I like the Nightfall. I like every Night Watchman. And the Great Xia God and everyone. I'm truly moved by the Great Xia people's deep-seated belief that "within the Great Xia territory, gods are forbidden." In real life, there are also unsung heroes who stand before millions, protecting us and creating a peaceful and carefree world. From the implementation of the Winter Drifting Plan to the public unveiling of the Night Watchmen, it was so exciting and cool! I love every character! Their souls are unique and exceptionally radiant, so incredibly charming. Although there were many heart-wrenching moments that made me cry buckets, San Jiu's foreshadowing is truly amazing; it seems like every plot hole has been perfectly filled (I really admire San Jiu's ingenuity). I'm so sad to see any of the characters go... Also, why are the side stories also going to be heartbreaking? I'm going to cry my eyes out.

    This completed novel features Xiao Yuan as the male lead and Pei Qing as the female lead. It's a clean romance novel, and the title alone sounds promising. The beginning is slightly angsty (because the female lead's sister has passed away, and she leaves the male lead for her sister's child; the male lead misunderstands and believes she abandoned him for wealth and power). The story begins with an army at the city gates and a rebellion, forcing the female lead to write a letter to the male lead for help. Later, while suppressing the rebellion, the two resolve their misunderstandings, and the story ends happily. "The ruthless and decisive Prince of Nanchuan has Pei Qing as his only weakness." I highly recommend it; it's a very short novel.
