[Blurb]

Lu Qingci woke up after recovering from his injuries and discovered that he had switched bodies with Mu Ling of Qionghua Mountain.

Mu Ling was the very person responsible for forcing him into seclusion to heal, and a gifted prodigy of the current generation in the Martial Alliance.

They said Mu Ling was a disciplined ascetic who trained hard all year round, running ten li before dawn every day to strengthen his body, and drawing his sword to help anyone he saw being wronged. His righteousness was so awe-inspiring it could move heaven and earth!

Meanwhile, Lu Qingci was the notorious leader of a demonic cult, ruling over his territory and making trouble. The righteous martial world wanted nothing more than to get rid of him!

After switching bodies, Lu Qingci only wanted to return to his cult as soon as possible. He didn't care about Mu Ling's daily training.

But then Lu Qingci discovered: Damn it, this body would suffer a poison flare-up if it didn't run ten li every day. That hypocrite Mu Ling had been training purely to stay alive!

Everyone said that Lu Qingci, leader of the demonic cult, spent every night feasting and carousing, with seven concubines constantly at his side!

He was vicious and ruthless, killing countless people. The court turned a blind eye and let him wreak havoc because the emperor had a shady deal with him!

But Mu Ling discovered that Lu Qingci didn't seem much like the man described in the rumors.

The people he'd killed were actually vicious criminals, and the emperor treated him well because they were brothers.

As for those seven concubines...

“Sweetheart, is someone bullying you again? Tell Auntie and I'll beat them till they're begging for their parents!”

“Qingci, Auntie's medical skills have improved again. Lie down and let me give you a few acupuncture needles.”

“Qingci, Third Aunt is back from dealing with a scumbag, and I even found a shy young gentleman!”

“Xiao Ci, your Fifth Aunt and Sixth Aunt have pledged themselves to each other. You'd better find a partner soon, too.”

“Seventh Girl only cares about writing stories. Don't bother her unless it's important.”

Notes:

1. Happy ending. Girl top x cult leader bottom!

Upcoming Novel 1

The Sickly Beauty Has Peerless Martial Arts

A gloomy, downcast wheelchair-using top x a sickly, dramatic beauty bottom

Blurb:

Yu Cinian was stupid enough to die in his previous life.

As the second young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, he was framed by Sun Shi, a concubine who had been elevated to principal wife, in the dead of winter. As a result, he was left with a body full of ailments.

From then on, Yu Cinian had to live on medicine for the rest of his life. He was too weak to lift anything or do physical labor, becoming the “sickly” young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, a source of endless regret.

Later, Yu Cinian learned that the only medicine capable of curing him belonged to the emperor. If he wanted to ride into battle with a spear in hand, he had to win the favor of the new emperor, Lou Xin.

The new emperor lusted after his beauty. Once Sun Shi learned of the emperor's intentions, she joined forces with her own son, Yu Ciyue, and used threats and bribes to force Yu Cinian into a bridal sedan, making him submit to another man despite being a man himself.

But on the very day Yu Cinian entered the palace as a bride, the new emperor ordered the entire Yu family executed. His father and brothers were killed one after another. Sun Shi had divorced in advance, so she escaped the massacre and became one of the capital's new elite, thanks to her “great feat” of turning in her own family in the name of justice.

Afterward, Sun Shi's son Yu Ciyue even married the new emperor. On their wedding day, he scattered Yu Cinian's ashes into a dry well in the palace.

Yu Cinian was reborn and returned to the moment just before Sun Shi pushed him into a freezing pool, nearly drowning him and destroying the foundation of his health.

This time, Yu Cinian was determined to take revenge. He would expose Sun Shi's true nature and make her pay, and he would make sure that bastard Lou Xin never became emperor.

But an unexpected turn came just then.

Prince Huai, Lou Chen, who had died young in his previous life, was about to become his husband. Before long, Yu Cinian would be the legitimate Princess Consort of Huai.

Yu Cinian couldn't make sense of it.

Why was Prince Huai Lou Chen, who should have been a brave and capable warrior, now unable to walk without a wheelchair?

And why was he marrying him to become his princess consort?

Lou Chen, Prince Huai of the Li Dynasty, injured both legs in an accident and had been confined to a wheelchair ever since.

They said the injury had made Prince Huai increasingly gloomy and volatile. But because of his military power, everyone feared and respected him, keeping their distance and avoiding close ties.

Then one day, an imperial decree bound him to the second young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's household.

Everyone waited to see the two make fools of themselves, even placing secret bets on whether the sickly one would outlive the cripple, or the cripple would wear down the invalid.

Humiliated by the emperor, Lou Chen could only endure it for now, until the second young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's household entered his home.

At first, everyone thought the Prince Huai's residence would never know peace again. But they waited and waited... and instead saw the two treating each other with affection and respect, their bond growing deeper and deeper.

Later, Prince Huai's legs healed. Later still, the Princess Consort of Huai could wield a spear and ride into battle.

And the Li Dynasty welcomed its first male empress.

★ Friend's Novel 2 ★

After I Was Captured by the Foolish Emperor of an Enemy Nation

Three months ago, the King of Chu sent elite soldiers to the Wei state in the Northern Region to seek an immortal herb that could cure his chronic illness. They were ambushed on the way.

The Chu soldiers returned without the herb, but brought back a captive: the person who had stolen it, Yuan Wojin, the terrifying general of Zheng.

Hoping to win the talented general over and put him to use, the King of Chu treated him to fine food and generous gifts. But the general refused to be bought for five dou of rice.

Chu Huaiyu was determined to break his iron will. At the New Year's banquet, Yuan Wojin was forced to kneel beside the royal couch in a woman's dress. In front of all the officials, Chu Huaiyu gripped his chin, his gloomy eyes twinkling with amusement. “It would be a shame to waste a beauty like this. Why not... bring him into the harem?”

Yuan Wojin gritted his teeth and swore to himself: A man may be killed, but never humiliated. He would make Chu Huaiyu pay a hundredfold for today's disgrace!

Later

A secret agent from Zheng arrived and infiltrated the imperial harem.

The agent said, “General, your subordinate came too late. Come with me. Let's escape this prison of a palace.”

He found his general calmly chewing a candied fruit and asking with complete seriousness, “Have you ever tried candied fruit?”

The agent replied, “No, I haven't.”

“Would you like to know what it tastes like?”

“...” I don't want to know.

The agent said sternly, “Zheng has every delicacy you could ask for. Why bother with candied fruit? General, come with me.”

His general replied, “Who said I was leaving?”

The agent: ???

Wait, is this how you treat prisoners in Chu?

Theme: Words can be frightening. Think carefully before you act.
