Early preview: Transmigrated as the Head of an Immortal Sect, I Lead the Big Shots in Scavenging
See below for the blurb. The blurb for this story:
Bai Jingwen transmigrates straight into the body of a top scorer who has just passed the imperial exams.
The problem is that as soon as he arrives, the top scorer is struck by disaster!
The Hanlin Academy catches fire, and top scorer Bai Jingwen is blamed first. The emperor is furious and orders him thrown into the imperial prison to await punishment. At this critical moment, Bai Jingwen raises his hand and shouts:
"Wait! There's something wrong with this fire!"
The late emperor's reckless pursuit of military glory ended in defeat at Wushen Pass, costing the Great Ning dynasty 500,000 elite troops and bringing unending turmoil to the six prefectures and three commanderies of the northern frontier.
As the eldest princess, Xiao Qingning took charge of the Imperial Household Treasury from her empress mother at just fourteen. She only wanted to do her part for the dynasty and give the battered Xiao imperial clan some hope of survival. For ten years, she devoted herself to the country and her family, using every ounce of political acumen, ingenuity, skill, and knowledge she had. Yet all her tireless work was rendered worthless by the chilling words "a mere woman." The court officials and imperial clan members only wanted to marry her off, while countless eyes watched her, ready to strip away all the power in her hands.
As the imperial examination takes place every three years, Bai Jingwen, a native of Jingzhao, passes the palace exam as the new top scorer. An imperial decree arrives, and the clichéd plot of a princess choosing a husband is about to unfold in Xiao Qingning's life. Just as she is about to stop the marriage, someone starts a fire at the Hanlin Academy. The new top scorer, Bai Jingwen, is blamed as the culprit, while Xiao Qingning is accused of being the mastermind who framed him.
After a series of twists and turns, the two clear their names. But Xiao Qingning knows this won't stop. The words "a woman's place" and "the way things have always been" have cut off every path before her. A woman is destined to have no say in her own life, until Bai Jingwen tells her:
"Why can't you decide for yourself?"
Xiao Qingning: "What do you mean?"
Bai Jingwen: "You can become the emperor."
Xiao Qingning: "..."
1. Not your usual imperial-exam story: it starts with the male lead already at the top.
2. Career comes first, romance second.
3. Both leads are formidable: the female lead is a cool and reserved princess, and the male lead is a levelheaded minister.
4. The male lead's perspective comes first, followed by the female lead's.
5. The dynasty is fictional. My skills are limited, so constructive criticism is welcome.
6. Enjoy reading!
Upcoming book: Senior Sister Leads the Whole Sect to Greatness by Scavenging
Yun Ying transmigrates to the cultivation world and, soon after arriving, becomes the head of the Baopen Sect. She discovers that her sect is a broke, dilapidated immortal sect on the verge of closing down.
As the sect leader, Yun Ying has no choice but to lead her handful of disciples in scavenging to make ends meet. When they hunt demonic beasts, other immortal sects take the top-grade materials while her sect picks up the scraps, hides, and fur. When a secret realm opens, others return with priceless immortal treasures, while her sect cleans up the battlefield and gathers the leftovers... Yun Ying earns the title of the cultivation world's poorest sect leader. Her sect ranks 999th or lower in strength, and even stray spirit dogs won't come begging for food.
Yun Ying: "I'm done being this lousy sect leader! Whoever wants to scavenge can do it themselves!"
Unexpectedly, her disciples come in right on time to report.
"Senior Sister, the demonic beast's innards contained a thousand-year-old inner core. We sold it for a million spirit stones."
Yun Ying: "?"
"Senior Sister, the demonic beast's fur is actually a top-grade spiritual treasure, enough to forge a Heavenly-rank artifact!"
Yun Ying: "??"
She hurriedly opens the junk warehouse. There isn't a scrap of junk in sight. All kinds of rare treasures are sparkling inside!
Yun Ying stares in disbelief. "This kind of good fortune is real?"

Sui Xuan is the heir to a top family in the Upper Immortal Realm. Born with a lotus spirit and a sword bone destined to be his, countless great powers once declared that he could become the cultivation world's first Supreme Sword Immortal. But during a tribulation, his biological father schemed to steal his "Sword Immortal destiny." From then on, Sui Xuan lost all his good fortune and became a jinx to his family. Anyone who comes near him is struck by misfortune: the lucky ones trip or lose their belongings, while the unlucky ones fail their tribulations, die, and have their souls destroyed...
That is, until Sui Xuan ends up in the lower realm and meets the cultivation world's poorest sect leader.
Yun Ying: "Want this junk? If not, I'll take it."
Sui Xuan: "..."
He actually senses a subtle ripple in fate. A streak of white light pierces his pitch-black fate chart, and the woman before him not only dispels his misfortune, but gradually washes his fate chart white!
Sui Xuan: "Sure. You can take me too."
Yun Ying: "???"
-
1. The female lead is blessed with good fortune, and all junk is actually a top-tier treasure.
2. The female lead can "heal" the male lead's doomed fate. A complete cure requires... multiple rounds of dual cultivation.
3. This is my first time writing a xianxia novel. I'm a beginner, so please be kind.
Theme: Break through adversity! Dare to challenge conventional norms
To be honest, the setting of this article is quite good. However, the details were not handled well, which resulted in the emotional drama being dull and stiff in the early stage. In the later stage, when the decisive battle began, there was even less opportunity for performance. But the war chapter can also be written wonderfully, the key lies in the details. But if you spread it out and write it, it is indeed quite difficult.
The setting of this article is still very exciting, but some of the details have not been developed in time. I feel that the narrative style has changed between the first chapter and the second chapter. The second chapter is more macro-level, resulting in insufficient emotional drama or character development. There may be more content that needs to be expressed, but it is difficult to control. If more details in the plot are added, the emotional line may also be revealed. I look forward to the follow-up chapters. There are many lovely characters in the article.
A mature author must learn to update ten chapters every day
I'm not afraid that the military attache will come to control me and listen to the tune or not. In fact, it is right to put the military in a cage. After all, it is an organ of state violence. In any country under the WPC, civilians control the military. In any country where the military has great power, it is either a military government or the government is held hostage by the military. As long as the government slightly touches the interests of the military, they will dare to launch a coup and bombard the Congress. Then a soldier comes into the cabinet. In fact, we still need to control the military. It is not good to have too much autonomy.
After reading this, I felt shocked by the majestic world view in the author's book, and I also shed tears for the people in the book. There is no such thing as good or bad, everyone is doing it for their own country.
I really can't help but think of Yue Zhi as Xiao Huo and Wei Qing. I love Zhi Zhi so much.
Bianfei will soon be His Majesty's man, haha, scatter flowers.
How do you say that the language is too modern?
Ah, are you planning to write about Danmei? In fact, I am quite looking forward to the story of two male protagonists, the kind of confidants who understand each other, trust each other, and entrust each other with life and death. Also, the heroine's passage is a bit strange. No one would like intrigues and fights in the court, right?
Your Majesty's straight shot is great!
