When It Comes to Drawing Cards, I've Never Lost

[New novel: I Crush the Cultivation World with My Secret Identities, now underway] [The full novel is complete. The blurb didn't turn out well, so I'm not fussing over it anymore. At its heart, this is a powerful heroine's rise-to-the-top story, and every card you could want is here. The clicks speak for themselves: readers who made it through the first ten chapters all stayed. Little angels, feel free to try a few chapters. This is how we all met!] Blurb One: After transmigrating to a continent where people fight with cards, Ye Zhengliu's extraordinary life begins the day she awakens her card powers, unfolding like a mythic epic. With one move, “Ten paces, one man slain; a thousand miles, none can pass,” she brings down a foolish emperor. With another, “How can I get ten thousand mansions, to shelter all the poor scholars and make them smile?” she makes a city rise from the ground. Her opponent cries, “I have the divine beast Fire Phoenix as my card. How could I possibly lose to you!” Ye Zhengliu replies, “Sorry, but my cards are Li Bai, Du Fu, and Su Dongpo.” Blurb Two: Transmigrating into the body of a refugee, Ye Zhengliu has a cheat in the form of a Mandate of Heaven System and starts rebuilding another world from scratch. What should she do when her troops are too weak? Ye Zhengliu opens the dungeon System: “The ancient battlefield is open. Everyone, get in there and train!” What should she do when she lacks equipment? Ye Zhengliu opens the crafting System: “A dragon-slaying saber comes free with one click. I'll take a hundred thousand to start!” What should she do when compulsory education is too limited and everyone is illiterate? Ye Zhengliu: “Let's get simplified characters, remedial classes, and evening literacy schools going!” A great civilization is about to bring forth a brand-new transformation. The Mandate of Heaven is mine. I shall ascend the throne as emperor. Long live the empress! P.S.: 1. A strong female lead. 2. Plot-driven, with a slow-burn romance. 3. There are many male characters, and every one of them seems like the male lead, but only the male lead has a romantic storyline with her. 4. Try the free chapters to get a feel for the author's style. If you like it, stay; if you don't, move on. There's no need to force yourself to read. 5. Though some historical literati appear, this is a fantasy world with an alternate setting. Please don't take the historical figures in the story as an invitation to digress. Love you all, mwah. My new fantasy romance, Ancient People Watch My Livestream Every Day [Ancient to Modern], is now underway. Please add it to your reading list! Yun Gui, daughter of a military commander, is wounded by an arrow and collapses from exhaustion while defending her city. When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself in a completely new world: the Blue Kingdom. She has bound herself to a time-space livestream System, which lets her broadcast modern life to the ancient world. She has also unlocked an item-transport channel, allowing objects and technology to pass between the two worlds. One day, when enemy forces surround the city in the Heng Dynasty, they discover a livestream mirror in the sky. During the first broadcast, countless flaming meteors rain down from above, terrifying the enemy troops until they flee in panic, abandoning their armor and weapons. “Divine punishment! It must be divine punishment!” Yun Gui: “It's all special effects, thanks to modern technology. With an IMAX super-sized screen and 3D effects, I'll make you feel like you're right there watching a meteor shower.” Some time later, precious gemstones of every color become all the rage among the Heng Dynasty's aristocratic clans. The gems are as big as fingertips, so dazzling that no one can look away. They are widely praised among the nobility and worth a fortune. Yun Gui: “They're all synthetic gems, actually. Praise modern technology. A ruby costs twenty yuan. It's not too much to ask for twenty jin of gold in return, is it?” Yun Gui uses the gold she earns to buy fertilizer, cement, and harvesters. With livestream videos offering step-by-step instruction, the villagers' yields per acre skyrocket! Then, one day, the two worlds make contact. Blue Kingdom: “The Heng Dynasty is clear-cutting such magnificent forests just to build houses with the timber? Stop the project. We'll buy the wood you've already felled and teach you the latest brickmaking technology. We'll provide the materials and the machines!” Blue Kingdom: “So the legendary Sacred Flame that burned by itself for three hundred years was actually in an oil-rich region! According to the historical records, that oilfield burned itself out. We can't let this opportunity pass us by. We'll take over the oilfield, and in exchange, we'll teach you how to drill for oil!” * Energy powers the future, and technology changes lives. Tractors roll across the vast land, the sound of children reading aloud rings through the schools, and white rice and roast meat appear on ordinary people's tables. Life in the Heng Dynasty grows better and better. Many years later, Yun Gui says proudly, “I've had two homelands in my life: the Heng Dynasty and the Blue Kingdom.” Theme: People must be brave enough to fight evil, and stand on their own two feet.
