Carrying A Lantern In Daylight

The print edition has been published

He Simu picked up a person to eat on the battlefield, never expecting that someone would pick her up instead.

The young general who took her in seemed to think she was a frail war orphan, and went out of his way to look after her.

So He Simu dutifully played the part of a delicate young woman.

“Oh, blood! I’m terrified of blood. I faint at the sight of it.”

“This basin is so heavy. I’m too weak to lift it.”

“You’re all fighting and killing each other all day. How scary!”

A female general with a crush on the young general snapped, “Brother Duan doesn’t like delicate, helpless girls like you!”

He Simu tilted her head. “Is that so?”

One day, the young general was ambushed on the battlefield after his horse stumbled.

He Simu, who couldn’t carry anything, lift a finger, or see blood without fainting, loosened up her muscles and lit a ghost lantern. “Let’s see who dares bully our General Duan. Duan, you little fox!”

Duan Xu had always thought he shouldn’t have provoked the Ghost King.

It took him several months to learn her real name was He Simu.

But perhaps he could spend his whole life trying and still never make her remember his name during her four-hundred-year life.

“My name is Duan Xu. Xu, as in Fenglang Juxu.”

A powerful female Ghost King who pretends to be weak in everyday life × a sly young general who specializes in military strategy. Happy ending.

Advance follows are open for "Dream Eater".

Ye Minwei has lost her memory.

She hears that she is the white-bearded old immortal on Mount Kunwu, who can do anything.

She is the Grandmaster of All Forms, who carried on the arts of the Hundred Schools after the Dream Ruins calamity, and is revered as a teacher by every sect in the world.

She is also a heretic who harbors evil intentions, intends to steal the arts of the Hundred Schools, and threatens the mortal realm.

She also hears that “Ye Minwei” and another grandmaster, Mr. Wu, the master of the Dream Ruins, once created the art of dream cultivation together, only to inexplicably fall out and become sworn enemies.

Mr. Wu disappeared more than ten years ago. They say she killed him.

--

The supposed sworn enemy she “killed” is alive and well. Grabbing her by the lapels, he berates her: “Ye Minwei! Your dream cultivation failed. You’ve lost both your memories and your powers, and your dream beast is still a fat lamb wandering all over the place. Why are you going down the mountain now, right when everything’s so dangerous? Are you trying to get yourself killed?”

Ye Minwei: “You seem rather concerned about me.”

Wu Enci: “…Is that the point?”

Ye Minwei: “I heard we broke off our friendship and are enemies now.”

Wu Enci: “Go die, Ye Minwei!”

Ye Minwei: “If you let go now, I’ll fall to my death.”

Wu Enci held on to her lapels, moved her to safety, and set her down.

Ye Minwei: “You contradict yourself. You’re a very strange person.”

Wu Enci: “Just shut up.”

Ye Minwei: “But you’re really beautiful.”

Wu Enci: “…Say that again.”

The secrets of heaven number ten. I will divine nine of them, and leave the last one to revere as divine.

I am a companion of mist and rosy clouds in this world, yet for you, I will take one step into the mortal realm.

A female protagonist who is a research-obsessed cultivation-world powerhouse × a male protagonist who is weak as a dog by day and invincible at night, a dream master.
