Synopsis of The Bandit Girl of the Generals' Gate:

Xue Jiuyuan snatched up a gorgeous man to be her bandit husband. She fell for him, only to discover that he was merely pretending to like her, while secretly informing the authorities so they could wipe out her bandit stronghold.

In a fit of anger, she fought him, tossed him down the mountain, and swore she would never see him again.

But he kept coming back to coax her into joining him at the military camp.

She refused every time, until the younger brother she thought was dead showed up at her door. That night, she had a dream...

In the dream, she was willing to become the Crown Prince's concubine to clear the Xue family's name. Again and again, she mistook Xu Yinzong's kind help for something else. Only near the end did she realize that the Crown Prince had merely been using her to seize the throne. He had even killed the brother she had just reunited with, and the Xue family's false accusation had been his doing all along.

She failed in her attempt to assassinate the emperor and died beneath a storm of arrows. The man who had scolded her for being spineless and vowed never to care whether she lived or died pulled the arrows from her body one by one, then killed the new ruler who had just ascended the throne.

When she woke, she barged into the military camp and insisted, "You wanted me to come here, so you have to see this through. Otherwise... I'll carry you back to the stronghold again!"

Pre-release synopsis for Reborn as a Lucky Carp to Raise a Cat:

When Ge Luo was seventeen, someone in the Ge family finally remembered the girl they'd abandoned in the mountains to fend for herself. They brought her back to marry her off. She heard that her betrothed hadn't opened his eyes in years.

Her half-sister mocked her, her stepmother sneered at her, and even her animal friends thought her luck had run out.

The little tabby she had picked up on the road had pinkish fur around its face. It told her smugly, "You won't lose out by marrying him."

Ge Luo's fish tail swished through the pond as she grabbed the cat and rubbed its belly, perfectly calm. "It's fine. We'll outlive him."

The little tabby: "..."

Later...

She noticed that her comatose husband's complexion was improving, while the little tabby she cuddled every day kept growing bigger. Its fur turned black and white, and one stormy night, it merged with her husband.

The White Tiger True Lord proudly paced up to her. "I am the White Tiger True Lord of the Western Realm. I borrowed your fortune to survive this calamity. Come with me to the Western Realm, and you can do whatever you like."

Ge Luo glared at him through teary eyes and pounded his chest with her tiny fists. "I don't want you! Give me my cat back!"

"..." The White Tiger, Cat, True Lord slowly lowered his proud head and turned into a fluffy little face, rubbing against her palm. "Meow..."

The Taoist three-part lucky carp: Fine. Okay. No problem.

VS

The White Tiger possessed by a cat spirit: Roar! Meow-roar. Meow, meow, meow...

Pre-release synopsis for Reborn as a Tortured Character and Thriving in Quick Transmigration:

When Ye Ting first arrived in the Celestial Realm, she went to receive her official appointment from the Star Lord of Destiny. After reading a few stories, she saw that all her favorite characters were tortured half to death. Overcome by emotion, she cursed the author as a piece of trash.

The Star Lord of Destiny, now a piece of trash in her eyes, darkened his expression and made a few strokes with his brush. He changed her official appointment and sent her into a book to suffer.

Several hundred years later, the Star Lord of Destiny felt wonderful after finally finishing a new angst-filled story, despite having abandoned it for who knows how many updates. But an immortal official had been away from his post for hundreds of years, so his report hadn't been approved. He had broken a heavenly law and would face a heavenly tribulation.

He massaged his temples and asked his star attendant, "That person..."

The attendant reminded him, "My Lord, Ye Ting. She's been punished and sent into a book for hundreds of years."

The Star Lord of Destiny: "...Others beg for mercy after ten years... Was she tortured too badly? If she knows she was wrong, bring her back."

The attendant looked profoundly conflicted. "She's taken over the book."

The Star Lord of Destiny: "..."

*

Ye Ting returned to the Celestial Realm after killing her 'husband' and attaining the Dao. The first thing she saw was the Star Lord of Destiny's furious, scowling face, so she turned around and prepared to go back into the book. But a crowd of enthusiastic immortal officials surrounded her, eager to interview her about what it was like to be reborn as a tortured character and how she had won.

Ye Ting thought seriously for a moment. "Maybe... I cultivate the Dao of Ruthlessness?"

The Star Lord of Destiny and the immortals: "..."

Pre-release synopsis for Grand Master of Ceremonies:

Legend has it that the ancient Wu people could communicate with heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Ladder collapsed. To restore the connection between heaven and earth, the various races hunted down those with Wu blood, keeping them penned up and slaughtering them like livestock. Hundreds of years later, few Wu people remained.

On the second day after Ji Xing became separated from her people, she too was shackled like livestock.

Ji Xing: ...I predicted it again and again and again...
