No Fighting on My Roof

Announcement: This story is set in a parallel, spin-off timeline. The world you'll see is a chaotic hodgepodge. It isn't real history, but comes from a parallel universe.

Zhao Ji transmigrates into a doomed ruler who becomes famous for his artistic talent and his celebrity courtesans.

Zhao Ji: All right, then. For the sake of a comfortable old age, I'll work hard and keep my head down for a while.

Just as the court is settling down, an imperial guard suddenly reports that someone wants to duel at the top of the Forbidden City.

Zhao Ji, who has been working overtime until he's going bald, finally realizes: Oh no! I picked up the wrong script!?

He tosses aside the serious historical drama script, then belatedly realizes that martial artists have been causing trouble for him all along.

The Imperial Kitchens are always missing food, and the armory has been robbed.

The imperial palace has become a backyard where martial artists come to stroll after a meal. They go in and out as they please.

At last, Zhao Ji's accumulated fury reaches its peak when he shakes out his quilt before bed one night and a martial artist tumbles out!

Zhao Ji: I suspect these martial sects, which have no business existing in this era, are trying to kill me, and I have proof! (kind_smile.jpeg)

A martial sect called "Crack Down on Crime" quietly rises to power.

Rumor has it that the sect is extremely mysterious. No one knows where it came from or who its members are. All people know is that its members are everywhere in the martial world.

Its only drawback is that its sect leader is so dark-skinned and conspicuous that he bears a striking resemblance to Bao Heizi, the prefect of Kaifeng.

PS:

1. A crossover of martial arts worlds, with plenty of unexpected characters appearing.

2. At first, the protagonist doesn't know the world is a mess, so he takes being emperor seriously. In the middle and later parts, he turns villainous and becomes a domineering CEO, always wanting to bankrupt the martial sects causing trouble.

3. Also features infrastructure, domestic affairs, the economy, and national strength.

Planned targets:

For your information: A dual-transmigration pairing. [The weather's getting cold. Let's bankrupt White Camel Mountain.] (Bankrupted)

[The weather's getting cold. Let's bankrupt Bat Island.] (Bankrupted)

[The weather's getting cold. Let's bankrupt the Prince of Taiping's heir.] (Bankrupted)

[The weather's getting cold. Let's bankrupt the Southern Prince's heir.] (Bankrupted)

[The weather's getting cold. Let's bankrupt the Demon Cult.] (Bankrupted)

[The weather's getting cold. Let's bankrupt Jin.] (In preparation)

4. The protagonist has some martial prowess, but he takes down the martial world's criminal forces with popular support! Most importantly, he has the Mandate of Heaven. (Not really.)

Coming soon: "Becoming a Horror Escape System"

Wu Wei, a human-Earthling hybrid, inherits his uncle's planet, Ambila. Ambila has unique energy, and monsters and demons run rampant everywhere.

On the day he inherits it, he leases the planet's use to a program claiming to be a "planet-management service."

Just a few days later, Wu Wei discovers that the System's idea of management is kidnapping people from Earth and bringing them to Ambila for escape, murder, and games.

Wu Wei flies into a rage and storms their headquarters. "Get out!"

System: "The contract is valid. It can only be transferred, not canceled."

Wu Wei snaps: "This lousy System? I'll take it!"

The System leaves. Wu Wei becomes the new System for the horror escape game.

The System upgrades him, and scripts, ways for players to avoid injury, and all the rest drive him to start losing his hair. Then he looks at the people already inside the game, and his scalp goes cold.

A walking bug has entered the game, leaving nothing alive in every instance it passes through.

To save the instances, Wu Wei creates an alt account and sneaks into the game.

By day, facing terrifying monsters, he huddles with the players and whimpers in fear.

By night, he stays up late, gathering all the monsters for overtime meetings to discuss how to kick the bug out of the game.

A big shot who thinks the world is too boring is dragged into an escape game just as he's about to make trouble.

A killer charges at him with a chainsaw. As he is about to dodge, someone suddenly comes out of nowhere and blocks the attack for him, only to shove him straight into the blade with a backhanded push.

A giant scorpion launches a sneak attack from the side. Just as he prepares to fight back, someone drops from the sky to block the scorpion's pincers for him, but trips in the process and kicks the scorpion's poisonous tail straight toward his face.

Wu Wei tries to engineer all kinds of accidents to kill Tai Hanli, the bug in the game, and make him get back to Earth as soon as possible.

But he doesn't notice the gaze fixed on him from behind growing steadily more intense.

One night, the eldest Tai brother gets up in the middle of the night and sees his much calmer younger brother sitting in the living room. He is clutching a headband, stroking it with a strangely tender expression. The eldest brother immediately grows wary: Are you planning to cause trouble again?!

Tai Hanli strokes the headband he's secretly hidden away. In a rare good mood, he answers: Not interested.

The eldest brother's inner alarm bells ring. He presses him: Then what are you planning to do?!

Tai Hanli runs his tongue over the tips of his teeth and spits out two words: The System.
