[Investiture of the Gods] The Calamity-Bearing Beauty's Style Is All Wrong

This novel will not be contracted for publication. Updates may be irregular!

Su Nian is very pleased with her transmigrated life.

Beautiful from birth, with a wealthy family and a doting father, brothers, and friends, she is surrounded by rare treasures. Barring any surprises, she seems destined for a life of riches and comfort.

Until, at fifteen, her father changes her name to "Daji."

Yes, that Daji, the temptress ordered to seduce King Zhou.

The Book of Heaven would later record:

During a royal hunt, the Shang king captured a fox spirit. Unmatched in beauty, she used every foxlike wile to ruin the kingdom and corrupt its ruler.

From then on, the Shang king became obsessed with alchemy, even using millions of soldiers as human test subjects for his elixirs;

He built vast pools of wine and forests of meat, driving refugees and commoners to beg for scraps just to survive;

He sacrificed thousands of acres to win a smile from his demoness, planting evil plants across Shang territory. They bore wicked fruit in every season, and livestock that ate it would howl without end.

Then came terrifying lightning and fire in the dead of night. The gods, long incensed, sent Jiang Ziya to aid the Zhou in their campaign against Shang and destroy the demoness.

Di Xin, checking the effects of a bone-strengthening pill in camp: "..."

Bigan, urging the people of Zhaoge to quit drinking and eat less meat: "..."

Su Nian, hard at work tilling the fields: "..."

Jiang Ziya, who happened to witness a cow give birth to ten calves in a rage after eating the fruit: "..."

Good grief! Don't believe rumors or spread them, folks!

*A career-driven "Daji" × an Ancestor Dao who is henpecked*

→→Here's a preview of my upcoming novel, "Qin Shihuang's Uncle"~~

Everyone in Qin knows that in the towering, solemn Xianyang Palace, there is a minister entrusted with the kingdom whose power is beyond measure.

The Queen Dowager relies on him, the ministers trust and respect him, his students are everywhere, and his appearance remains a mystery.

Even the current young king respectfully calls him "Royal Uncle."

Everyone at the time speculates that this all-powerful royal uncle of Qin, Marquis Jingping, whose name is known across the seven states, will surely become the greatest obstacle on the new king's path to ruling in his own right. Some have even made extensive preparations in advance for Qin to change its course.

Who would have thought that after the King of Qin came of age and took the reins, Marquis Jingping would obediently return power and even gladly ask to retire from court and live in seclusion?

When the King of Qin asks, as a formality, what reward he would like, he only replies considerately, "Nothing else. I ask only for two or three male favorites."

The young ruler, whose expression was already displeased, nearly crushed the lacquered desk before him when he heard this.

In the fiftieth year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, while fleeing back to Qin, Qin Yiren happened to rescue a little girl who had been left destitute and bullied.

Only after bringing her back to the Qin palace did he discover that she was exceptionally clever and perceptive, well versed in history and the present, and seemed destined to understand the world and help Qin prosper.

As his life neared its end, he thought of his unlucky son, still caught in the turmoil of Zhao, and an idea came to Qin Yiren.

He took the girl's hands and pointed to the gloomy young man in the portrait, earnestly persuading her:

"Sweetheart, help him secure the throne, and you'll be guaranteed a life of wealth and comfort."

Years later, Qin Shu, disguised both as a fake royal uncle and as a man, with two secret identities that could each get her killed: "..."

You rotten Yiren, you ruined my youth!!
