I Didn't See That Coming! I'm a Spy! / I Seek the Dao and Cultivate Immortality / I Turn Around and Save Myself

[The author is terrible at writing blurbs. Please come in and take a look before deciding whether to stay. You have nothing to lose!!!]

This story is expected to go VIP on May 24. The chapters that will become VIP-only are Chapters 19 to 25. I hope you'll support the story!!!

[The female general Chen Jingming, The Jingming Wanderer, is now being published next door. Please add it to your collection.]

Unceremonious blurb:

Huailing: Simply put, my dad is the male lead from one of those old-school historical romances you all know. He went from being the neglected child of an unfortunate imperial relative to a blood-soaked conqueror who rules the realm today. In short, my dad is a heaven-defying protagonist. My mom is the woman he loves. She runs, he chases, and she can't get away.

As for me, you can think of me as a female version of a heaven-defying protagonist in the making. So my life is bound to be a feel-good power fantasy, right? We're all going to have a bright future. (Peace sign.jpg)

Serious blurb: "I was born to be emperor. I will make the realm bow and trample men into the mud beneath my feet."

This is the story of a woman who becomes the supreme ruler.

Huailing was born in the palace, the only direct descendant of the Tianqi imperial family.

She has met many people and learned many things.

On the desert sands, beneath the vast sky, a red-clad general smiles as she places her beloved's head in Huailing's hands;

Before the city gates, beyond the cries of the suffering, a physician knows the road ahead leads to certain death, yet resolutely steps into the trap;

In the harem, a man disguises himself as a woman and laughs and plays with the imperial consorts;

She, she, she, and all of them…

Every woman has a life of her own. She should not be confined to the cramped sky within the walls of a secluded residence.

She ascends the throne;

Confucian scholars offer counsel, helping her educate the people and govern the state through ritual and law.

She smiles as she sits in the great hall and accepts the so-called teachings left behind by the ancient sages.

"I once thought that all you Confucian scholars would cling to your so-called orthodox ideas and insist on testing the ancient institutions. Now I know you can be flexible, too. Today, I am greatly... Even you, gentlemen, can draw on the ideas of the sages..."

The many ministers kneeling before her are drenched in sweat.

Huailing beckons. "Come, reward them! Thank you, my dear ministers, for helping me resolve my doubts."

Long ago, Huailing thought that there truly were eternal precepts that could never be changed.

Later, she discovered that everything served only imperial power.

If you hold great power in your hands, even if mountains and rivers change color, you can still make the realm bow.

Before reading: 1. This is not a matriarchal society. The story focuses on an ensemble cast.

2. Due to the structure, the plot moves slowly in the first sixteen chapters.

3. If it's not to your taste, please leave quietly instead of posting bad reviews.

Same kind of badass female protagonist

I Seek the Dao and Cultivate Immortality

Huai Xi: An unremarkable genius blessed by Heaven.

Huai Xi of the Xuanjian Sect has a natural Daoist heart and cultivates at astonishing speed.

She is the idol of countless disciples in the immortal sects.

Huai Xi dies and comes back to life.

After dying suddenly and returning to life, Huai Xi decides that living a long, long life is the most important thing.

By a twist of fate, Heaven decides that she is cultivating the path to immortality.

But what does it mean to cultivate the path to immortality?

Getting up early and going to bed early? Eating three meals a day? Killing yourself and becoming a ghost to attain immortality?

To live forever, you should be content and do whatever you desire, whether you like it or hate it. Do everything you want to do.

Being a person with little regard for manners is the most fun of all.

From then on, even breathing helps her advance in cultivation.

"The path I cultivate is called obsession: the longing of lovers, the unwavering devotion of a steadfast heart."

"The path I cultivate is called the sword: a person is a sword and a sword is a person. Only when both person and sword are one can they reach the highest realm."

Huai Xi: The path I cultivate is called immortality.

Attain the Dao of immortality, and I become immortal.

From now on, I'll roam freely wherever I please. Be they demons or spirits, they will all revere me as their king.

Those who observe the heartless path regard all things as straw dogs; those who reject the Dao seek to destroy all things.

Now that we're gathered, let us raise our cups and celebrate attaining the immortal Dao! Every meeting is fate. If we must part, then it is Heaven's will. When the time comes, we will meet again.

I Didn't See That Coming! I'm a Spy!

Zhou Jiangye dies one day and wakes up as an unidentified person, an alpha created through artificial means.

The strongest in the ABO world, with unrestricted pheromones. A true chosen strongest.

She believes education is the most effective way to develop a person.

She also takes the initiative to investigate the truth behind the creation of the body she now occupies, all to stay alive.

Entering the academy and joining the military are the modest goals Zhou Jiangye sets for herself.

She never expected to be so exceptional that she'd be chosen to infiltrate an organization as a spy.

She bites down on her cigarette and glances sideways. "A spy? What do I get out of it?"

The teacher delivering her orders answers solemnly, "You'll earn unparalleled glory and the empi..."

She hops off the chair and dusts off her hands with a flourish. "Teacher, think it over before you tell me!"

Coming soon: I Turn Around and Protect Myself

[I know every bit of ugliness and struggle in your heart. I'll cross time and space, give all my love to myself, and keep moving forward with conviction.]

Xu Zhuxi dies on a rainy night.

She came into the world without a sound, and she left just as quietly, without anyone knowing.

After death, Xu Zhuxi comes back to life.

On a snowy winter evening twenty years later, Xu Zhuxi leans against a car window. She sees her younger self, skinny and gaunt, carrying firewood outside a low, drafty house. She gets out of the car with an umbrella.

This is a story about accompanying yourself as you grow up.

Xu Zhuxi once made a wish. She wanted to receive love.

Unreserved, unwavering, exclusive love, with no expectations attached.

That is difficult. It seems completely impossible.

So she made a wish for another version of herself to appear in this world.

To love herself.

No one can love you more than you love yourself.

So this time, I came only for you.

Notes before reading: 1. Nan Huaiyi and Xu Zhuxi are the same person.

2. This story has a self-romance plot: loving yourself. But isn't the person who loves you most in the world yourself?

Traveling Back to the Seventies to Protect My Mom

"In my next life, I want to be my mom's mom and give her everything I can. I'll treat her so well and give her so, so much love, even more than she gave me."

After waking up from a car accident, Shen Zhaosong unexpectedly discovers that she has returned to the 1970s, just as the educated youth are about to finish their rural assignments and the great era of reform and opening up is about to begin.

Her mother has just been born this year, she thinks, tracing the number circled on the calendar.

Everything is a new beginning.

"Mom, I'm going to change your fate and set you on a different path in life."

She watches a truck approach in the distance through the night. She tosses away her cigarette butt, stands silently beneath the streetlight, and holds out her hand.

Theme: Believe in yourself. You can overcome every obstacle on the road ahead.
