[Jian San + Literary Cultivation] A True Beauty Since Ancient Times

The worldbuilding is based on The Confucian Way to the Top! Salute to Eternal Flame!! Important things must be said three times!!!

It's under review again!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recently read The Confucian Way to the Top, a cultivation story about scholars, and Qizhi Hua couldn't help thinking, "Holy crap, this world of arts students is practically tailor-made for my beloved Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers!" So I happily let my imagination run wild and wrote this for myself. Take it seriously and you've already lost :P (Warning: The author is obsessed with character settings. Chapter One is very slow, and the male-god cultivation arc isn't for everyone! I'm a high school student, so updates are slow and erratic. Let a few chapters build up before binge-reading! There may not be many chapters, but every one is over four thousand words!) Also, thanks to Feiyu's art studio for the cover and author page!

An author with no talent for writing blurbs:

The elegant Hua Qu Xinghe died.

Qizhi Hua Qu Xinghe came back to life.

Reborn in another body, Qu Xinghe declared, "Since ancient times, the finest scholars have been true beauties. When the flowers bloom, they move the world!"

Warning list! 1. The protagonist is the bottom! 2. Both leads are strong! 3. Brother Hua is a violent beauty! 4. Unlimited wish fulfillment and catharsis! 5. The author's male god is Senior Brother Pei Yuan. The author's true love, the AU senior brother Su Hong, will probably only appear in extras or a prequel. So if you notice any obsessive, worshipful messages, it's definitely your imagination. Mm-hmm. 6. The story's setting is roughly like The Confucian Way to the Top. As readers know, its timeline is already a mess, so if you spot any plot holes, just have a laugh. 7. In his previous life, Brother Hua was a mutated NPC who downloaded the entire body of knowledge online before dying. After reincarnating, he retains the memories, skills, and talents from his past life. The knowledge he downloaded about later eras remains semi-subconscious and can only be "written" out through his own thinking. If this bothers you, enter with caution!
