Today, the Bookish Junior Sister Is Still Struggling to Survive

Story blurb:

Ye Shuang, an outer disciple of Xuanyun Sect, has been reborn after the sect's top disciple inexplicably killed her with a single sword strike.

Starting over, Ye Shuang learns from the start that the Myriad Spirits Realm will collapse in fifty years. But even so, as an insignificant outer disciple... she thinks about it with a blank expression, then reluctantly decides she might as well try her best.

From then on, the disciples of Xuanyun Sect notice that their wooden-headed junior sister from the outer sect seems to have suddenly become enthusiastic.

During the outer sect's lectures on the Dao, she follows the most popular senior sister and takes a seat in the front row, listening intently;

During lessons and question sessions, she repeatedly seeks advice from the stern-faced martial uncle, every question earnest and sincere;

When new disciples join the sect, she treats the eccentric junior brother just like everyone else, patiently guiding him without tiring;

In the end, she even volunteers to clean Hao Ran Peak, home to the hot-tempered senior brother who leads the sect, a place no one else dares approach.

The disciples of Xuanyun Sect can only cry out: Good heavens! Even our wooden-headed junior sister is working this hard. What excuse do we have to slack off?

Just as everyone in Xuanyun Sect inexplicably enters a period of diligent cultivation, Ye Shuang, who started it all, opens the little notebook she carries with her during a break, as usual. It says:

Senior Sister disappears for a while after every lecture on the Dao. Keep an eye on her.

Martial Uncle's expression changes whenever certain topics come up. Ask more questions.

Junior Brother has two different personalities, day and night. Suspicious.

Senior Brother, the sect leader... seems strange all over. Keep a close watch.

-

Years later, one of the sect's leaders accidentally discovers the notebook and points to the last line, saying without thinking: So your attentiveness back then wasn't because you fell for me at first sight... but because you thought I was ab-normal?

His tone grows more dangerous with every word.

Ye Shuang thinks the first half sounds a little odd, but sees nothing wrong with the second half. After just a moment's thought, she nods without hesitation.

A few notes:

1. Not a typical power-leveling xianxia story, more of a mystery-unraveling tale (?);

2. Couple: A wooden-headed junior sister, emotionally stunted and unknowingly flirtatious, x a reliable, arrogant yet affectionate sect leader who wins himself over;

3. The male lead has one-sided feelings for the female lead early on. Due to special circumstances, she can't respond, but they are actually in love with each other!

Infinite Flow: To You, Without Regret [Infinite]

Blurb:

This is a game of chess that can only be opened by people who meet a certain condition.

They say that whoever wins the final game can have their one deepest wish granted.

The dead brought back to life, a smooth and happy life, instant wealth...

Everything you wish for and long for can come true.

At first, Cheng Yi'an really thought it was just a game. Until the first person died in front of her.

Ghosts, puzzles, threats to survival, and suspicion among teammates.

If the whole team fails to solve the puzzle, they die.

If the opposing side clears the game first, they die.

If they fail to protect their own "king," they die.

At the end of the first game, covered in blood, she murmurs, "There is no doubt about it. This game is wrong..."

A cold electronic voice answers inside her mind:

"Chess, your starting piece is: Black Queen."

[King's Privilege]: In each game, you can see the factions and chess pieces of three people.

When Fu Yunsheng first meets Cheng Yi'an, he doubts for the first time in his life that his ability might have malfunctioned.

The Queen piece only appears when both sides are completely wiped out in the first game. It is the most ruthless and the strongest piece on the board.

Every Queen holder he has encountered has been dangerous.

Yet the black-haired woman before him reaches out to him, though his faction is unknown, and promises earnestly, "Trust me. I'll lead you to a draw. No one will die."

The Black King, concealing his identity, falls silent for a moment, then lets out a quiet laugh. "All right."

I look forward to seeing what you can do, Rookie Queen.
