The Invisible Guardian

Professional Version:

People scoffed: "A hospital pharmacist? Oh, you mean the person who hands out the medicine! There's no future in that job!"

Zhou Xuekui replied solemnly, "No. Hospital pharmacists are here to protect people."

Even when no one understood her, even when no one knew her, even when no one thanked her, Zhou Xuekui stayed committed to caring for every patient and keeping everyone safe when using medication.

Zhou Xuekui: "I want to be an invisible guardian for patients!"

Romance Version:

Bian Ye was a famous rich second-generation heir in Bashun City, yet he was dating Zhou Xuekui, a girl from the countryside.

Everyone assumed he was tired of fine Western cuisine and wanted to try something rustic for a change. They all waited for Bian Ye to dump that country girl and give them a show to watch.

Bian Ye didn't disappoint them. At graduation, he declared, "I'm going to Beijing to pursue my dream. You can't keep up with me, so we should break up."

Everyone: Good for you!

Eight years later, Bian Ye went down on one knee and offered her everything. "You are my dream in this life."

Everyone: ???

No one knew that on the night they broke up eight years earlier, Zhou Xuekui had smiled brightly and said, "What a coincidence. I'm staying in Bashun City to pursue my dream too. Then let's break up."

Only then did Bian Ye suddenly realize that he was the one who could be left behind at any moment in this relationship.

1. The Three Kingdoms: Starting Out as Liu Bei, blurb:

When modern-day A Bei discovered that he had transmigrated into Liu Bei of the late Han and Three Kingdoms era, he was utterly desperate.

Who was the man who kept starting businesses only to fail, and was chased from place to place by Cao Cao? Liu Bei!

Who was the man who had finally built up a modest fortune in his sixties, only to see it all go up in flames at Yiling? Liu Bei!

Who died miserably in Baidi City and was still held up a thousand years later as a negative example and repeatedly criticized? Liu Bei!

Liu Bei's life in history seemed to be a vivid portrait of "failure" and "futility."

Fortunately, he had transmigrated to a fairly early point in time. His body was only fifteen years old.

That year, he had just arrived to study under the great scholar Lu Zhi.

That year, his future lifelong rival Cao Cao had just become the head of the Public Security Bureau's Northern District in Luoyang, while Sun Quan, the man who would indirectly send him to his death, wasn't even a fertilized egg yet.

With no System, pocket dimension, or shop, A Bei could only rack his brains and change his predetermined fate step by step, upgrading the hellish script he'd been handed.

So, before the Oath of the Peach Garden, A Bei first became sworn brothers with Cao Cao.

A Bei calmly said, "It's fine. You call me brother, I call you Cao the Traitor. We can each use our own terms."

So, before Cao Cao and Sun Ce could make their moves, A Bei first brought Zhang Liao and Taishi Ci into his ranks.

A Bei smiled. "Sorry, but knowing the script ahead of time means I can do whatever I want."

So, he put literacy classes, rice paper production, blast furnace iron smelting, and cement firing into practice, one by one, creating a paradise in the midst of a chaotic age.

A Bei drew his treasured sword and slowly recited the slogan that had resounded for eighteen hundred years: "Restore the Han, and return to the old capital!"

2. The Little God of Plagues Works Hard at Her Career Every Day [Metaphysics], blurb:

Gods need offerings from mortals in order to exist.

The God of Fortune was thriving on incense offerings, growing ever more handsome and living in luxury. Meanwhile, the God of Plagues, who had never received an offering, was growing smaller and more ragged. In less than a century, she would vanish without a trace.

The little God of Plagues, Mei Xixi, made up her mind: She would descend to the mortal realm, build a career, and gather offerings!

Day one of working hard at her career:

Five-year-old Mei Xixi toddled over on her short legs and threw herself into the arms of a kindly-looking uncle. "Uncle, would you worship a God of Plagues who can make people unlucky?"

The kindly-looking uncle was silent for a moment, then put on a professional smile. "Little one, do you want candy because your mom and dad won't buy you any?"

And so Mei Xixi was stuffed full of lollipops and respectfully escorted home.

Day N of working hard at her career:

On a variety show for adorable kids, child stars showed off their talents. Some played the piano, some drew, and some made little inventions...

When it was Mei Xixi's turn, her face flushed with excitement, and her little voice cracked as she shouted, "I can make people unlucky!"

The audience felt sorry for her. Is there something wrong with this child's head?

Day N+1 of working hard at her career:

On a metaphysics variety show, Mei Xixi kicked an evil ghost away and chopped a malicious spirit to pieces with a single strike. Wherever she went, all the ghosts bowed to her.

Countless masters of the mystic arts bowed to her in reverence and asked sincerely, "Little Master, how did you cultivate such powerful mystic arts?"

Mei Xixi immediately pulled out an exquisite memorial tablet and eagerly pitched it to them. "Just worship the God of Plagues every day, and you can have power this strong too!"

The masters of the mystic arts looked doubtful. "Do I look that easy to fool?"

Years later, Mei Xixi had earned titles such as "The Nation's Adorable Kid," "The Iron-Tongued Fortune Teller," and "Little Door God of Exorcism." She had become a sensation online, but still hadn't received many offerings.

Mei Xixi held her face in her hands, her soft, bun-like cheeks squished together, and sighed. "Building a career is so hard!"

3. Get Lost, Lovesick Immortal Lord!, blurb:

In this world of cultivation, knowledge is power!

Immortals can recite incantations to summon the power of heaven and earth and create awe-inspiring wonders!

Yu Chaoyue transmigrated into the cultivation world and awakened the "Chinese Culture System." As long as she drew the right cards, she could recite the corresponding incantations.

With one line, "A torrent plunges three thousand feet, as if the Milky Way had fallen from the ninth heaven," she could conjure a boundless waterfall between heaven and earth!

With one move, "Iron cavalry and warhorses, their spirit swallowing ten thousand miles like a tiger," she could sweep away every enemy!

Five thousand years of magnificent poetry and the power of heaven and earth spanning ten thousand miles were all at her command!

Yu Chaoyue was secretly delighted. Does this mean I can cultivate to perfection, join the ranks of the immortals, and reach the pinnacle of life?

Then she discovered that...

The immortal lords here would overturn heaven and earth to make their beloved smile;

The immortal maidens here would declare public mourning throughout the world to honor the spirits of their lovers after a breakup;

The Dragon King here would stop the flow of water throughout the Three Realms to create a heavenly waterfall just to please his beloved;

The Flower God here would make every flower in the human realm stop blooming for ten years to escape heartbreak...

As a result, the people of the mortal realm endured wars, earthquakes, droughts, famine...

Yu Chaoyue sneered. "We don't need these thousands upon thousands of gods and immortals."

Years later, Yu Chaoyue wore a simple black robe, her hair tied in a single bun and fastened with a wooden hairpin. She looked as humble and plain as dust, yet moved like lightning and shattered the Ninth Heaven beneath her feet!

The immortals cried out in terror, "Who are you?!"

Yu Chaoyue smiled gently. "I'm just an ordinary person with a conscience."

Theme: Those who hold on to their dreams are the most beautiful.
