*New book: F-Rank Physique, But I Pilot Mechas [Interstellar] is now available. Blurb at the bottom.
*Xianxia book coming soon: He Fell from Immortality After I Died. It shares this book's world, so please add it to your collection. Kisses~
Shen Xiaotan, chief disciple of the Zhuri Palace and a sword-cultivating prodigy envied by everyone in the cultivation world, is reborn. She awakens in the body of a complete mortal, along with a deadly challenge:
If she doesn't put the one soul and three fragments stolen by a demonic cultivator back into her body within three months, she'll die.
Shen Xiaotan: I need to reach the Golden Core stage before I can fight the villain. Is it even humanly possible to form a core in three months?
Shen Xiaotan two months later: Thanks, I made it to the Golden Core stage.
Everyone in the cultivation world: Is she even human?!
·
Ever since Shen Xiaotan saved a red-clad ghost cultivator, she's been unable to get rid of him. She can only console herself that, although he's a chatterbox, at least he's "pure of heart" and doesn't seem like a bad person.
After defeating the villain who killed her in her previous life, Shen Xiaotan thinks everything is finally settled.
But then she discovers that the one soul and three fragments she'd searched for so long, the pieces her life depends on, have been in the hands of her "pure-hearted" companion all along.
And he never intended to give them back.
The red-clad ghost cultivator chuckles.
"Xiaotan, we had a grudge in our previous lives, too. You sealed me away for three hundred years. Did you forget?"
Shen Xiaotan expressionlessly spits out a mouthful of blood.
"...Oh."
So he's been using her all along.
The big sister disciple, who had never understood love, feels a slight ache in her chest. She doesn't even want her soul back. Dragging her sword behind her, she disappears from everyone's sight.
Meanwhile, Duan Jinqiao, who'd kept saying he wanted revenge on her, panics instead.

*Poker-faced sword cultivator heroine, full of inner monologue, prefers action to talk, and thoroughly reliable
*Ghost-realm big shot who plays the pig to eat the tiger, prickly but easy to appease, and a chatterbox hero who's an excellent actor
One-on-one romance, happy ending
1. 20% silly comedy, my take on xianxia, with heaps of original worldbuilding
2. The hero says one thing and does another. He's hiding behind a secret identity, hoping to get revenge on the heroine for sealing him away for three hundred years, but he can't bring himself to do it
3. There's a small groveling arc later on, really small
Coming soon: F-Rank Physique, But I Pilot Mechas [Interstellar]
Blurb:
Tao Ying is a genius of the Reval Empire.
At fifteen, she enters Lyman University with the highest scores in every subject.
At twenty, she becomes the chief researcher at the Lyman Mecha Research Institute.
At twenty-seven, she dies in a fire with no survivors.
Someone takes the opportunity to frame her.
Someone erases her achievements.
Someone steals her research.
Someone sheds fake, crocodile tears as they mourn her.
But everyone says she got what she deserved.
In the court of public opinion, people lament how devoted Tao Ying's fiance was to her. No one knows that the one who locked her inside the fire was that very same devoted fiance.
"Xiaoying, the Empire will give you a proper burial," he says.
Tao Ying did nothing wrong. She doesn't want to die, and she shouldn't have to.
She'll take back what's rightfully hers.
Ten years later, on the punk planet of Shama Te in the distant Fourth Star System, a student from the slums suddenly opens her eyes.
·
Recently, a hot topic on the StarNet: A transport ship traveling between the Fourth and Third Star Systems was attacked by space pirates. At the critical moment, a mysterious passenger took on three pirates alone and beat the vicious bandits to a pulp.
And the mecha she piloted was a discontinued model from ten years ago!
[Engineer Bai's old mecha is ridiculously demanding to pilot. Doesn't this person's mental strength have to be at least S-rank?]
[I heard she's a new student this year, too... Looks like after all these years, the Interstellar world is finally getting another pilot with double S+ mental strength and physique.]
[Holy crap, a new student who's already that good? What's going on? Tell us more, 1s!!]
[Tell us more +1]
[+1]
But just as the commenters conclude that this new student's physique must be S-rank as well, Tao Ying is standing in front of Lyman University...
Weak, leaning against the wall.jpg
Sorry, she's F-rank. Just climbing into the pilot's seat nearly killed her.
Piloting a mecha? Not a chance. She's never doing that again as long as she lives.
Tao Ying pulls her suitcase along and rubs her chest. She thinks there shouldn't be any more trouble with enrollment this time. The next second, a notification pops up on her handheld computer.
[Welcome to the Mecha Piloting program at Lyman University.]
Oh, this welcome message for new students is exactly the same as before. It sure brings back memories...
...Tao Ying's face stiffens.
Wait, what program?
Say that again. What program is she supposed to study?
*Slow burn with a bit of an ensemble cast, plot-focused
*The male lead is a thoughtful puppy. Don't mistake him for someone else.
*The main cast comes together midway through, with lots of adorable girls
*Basically, a sickly programmer is forced to pilot a mecha and accidentally becomes one of the best in the field (.
Coming soon: He Fell from Immortality After I Died
Blurb:
They say that although the sword No Regrets has that name, every one of its past owners regretted something so much that they spent half their lives paying for it.
But Lu Zhenzhen doesn't believe in that superstition.
One day, she saves a qin player: gentle and refined, like a bright breeze and clear moonlight, with music so beautiful it makes the heart flutter.
"If I don't pursue him, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
Lu Zhenzhen slaps her forehead and sneaks into Feixing Tower, doing plenty of foolish things in her pursuit of the qin player.
Unfortunately, the qin player cares only for cultivation and ascension.
He doesn't cultivate an emotionless way, but he might as well.
Lu Zhenzhen thinks, then I won't force it.
Several hundred years later, she dies.
And that qin player who ascended... suddenly falls from immortality.
Premise: Eliminate the evils of the mortal world and protect its goodness.
I would like some cps with love-minded male protagonists and stupid female protagonists, it's so fragrant
It's so cool, I finished reading it all at once and it's all over! ! !
"A lifetime is quite long" means that after the release, you will be dead and you won't have to see anyone anymore hahahahahahahahahahaha
This title... Really confused me. Sure enough, Grandma Grandma was a foreshadowing (!!!)
I really cried to death (crying loudly). This sentence by Shen Xiaotan has since disappeared from this land.
Forget it after seeing this sentence, I really... Can't stand it (crying)
I don't understand, I just feel that the other party has deceived me about my feelings, and I just want to lose my soul because of my anger? Even if you love the other person very much, you have never been sorry to the other person. This involves your own life, so why don't you take it back?
But she herself is the one who doesn't take her own life seriously (sad)
Is there any extra story about Ming Shui? Hey-hey
What storybook makes me healthy (dog head)
