Shady Maps, Guiding You Every Step of the Way

New upcoming stories: My Golden Finger Made Me Stop Being Human and You Daring Traitor, You Want to Be My Mom? (Metaphysics). Please add them to your reading list! Blurbs at the end.

Everyone in the Jin Dynasty knows that Shucheng has an exceptionally skilled guide. No matter how complicated the route, Huai Su can find the fastest way with her eyes closed. She never misses her estimated arrival time. She knows every mountain path and stream in the Jin Dynasty, and can even avoid the bandits who appear and disappear without a trace.

Huai Su: I have a navigation System with me at all times. This is a piece of cake.

She also knows which family's food tastes best, where to find quality goods at low prices, and which places have the most beautiful scenery. She even knows every little hole-in-the-wall eatery tucked away in the deepest alleys.

Huai Su: Isn't it perfectly reasonable for a navigation System to come with a travel guide?

Huai Su's maternal family is convicted and their property confiscated. Afraid of being implicated, her father drives away his wife and Huai Su. To support herself and her sickly mother, Huai Su has no choice but to earn her living as a guide with the map navigation System she acquired by chance.

Only, the navigation seems a little unreliable...

"In 300 meters, turn right at the next intersection."

Huai Su ignores the navigation voice droning in her ear and turns left at the next intersection without hesitation.

"Please make a U-turn. Please make a U-turn at the next intersection. Route recalculated. Make a U-turn." Huai Su snaps, "There's a river if I turn right! A river! Why are you called Some-Map? You should be called Bad-Map!"

Upcoming Story 1: My Golden Finger Made Me Stop Being Human

Ren Qianliu transmigrates to an ancient society that's poor, harsh, and short on both money and food.

The good news is, she gets a golden finger. She can see the attributes of everything in the world, and as long as it doesn't defy common sense, she can add points to them.

At the same time, the golden finger tells her that to get home, she has to raise all six of her basic attributes to 300: physique, strength, agility, intelligence, spirit, and appearance.

Ren Qianliu works herself to the bone, only to discover that 90 is already the peak of human ability. Seriously!

Ren Qianliu: I get it! Human ability really does have its limits! So I'm done being human!

From then on, bizarre, mysterious tales begin spreading among the people...

Shocking! A pure-hearted female ghost did this and drained a scholar of his yang energy.

A beautiful fox spirit seeks food for refugees, then does this to a landlord!

A boy born with a deficient intellect receives a blessing from an immortal, becomes enlightened, and passes the civil service exam!

A grain official stumbles into an immortal's cave and obtains superior seeds that double the harvest, then he...

A general with a broken leg regrows his bones. It turns out he did this!

After staging one scheme after another, Ren Qianliu is astonished to discover that somehow war has disappeared, the nation has prospered, and the people are well-fed!

And not only has everyone else stopped seeing her as human, she has truly become something other than human herself!

Upcoming Story 2: You Daring Traitor, You Want to Be My Mom!

To find the master who died saving her, the thousand-year-old fox demon Su Wanqing returns to the human world.

When she opens her eyes, she discovers she's become a peasant girl named Ding He. Her biological father, whom she has never met from the day she was born to the day she came of age, sits before her dressed to the nines. He wants her to marry into the family of her half-sister's fiancé, who is critically ill and near death, to bring him good luck. He has also caused Ding He's mother's death.

Sizing up the heartless man before her, Su Wanqing smiles serenely. Should she fry his heart and liver to go with her wine, or turn him into a human pillar and set him on fire?

But then she realizes the little boy, just one year old, in her fiancé's family looks a little familiar...

Remembering the merciless ruler her master used on her as a child, Su Wanqing happily marries into her fiancé's family. Then she holds out her arms to the little boy. "Yanyan, let your stepmother hold you."

Li Yan, not yet a year old and unable to speak clearly: You traitor! Just you wait. When I grow up, I'll make you pay!

One-year-old Li Yan: You traitor! How dare you hurt someone for no reason?!

Su Wanqing: My master's babyish anger is so adorable! I have to take a picture and show the other disciples!

Fourteen-year-old Li Yan: ...The teacher is visiting tomorrow. Act a little more convincing.

Su Wanqing: Teacher, my master... I mean, my child, has been causing you trouble.

Twenty-year-old Li Yan: I'm getting engaged tomorrow. Why don't you try on the wedding dress for me?

Su Wanqing, wearing a perfectly fitting wedding dress: Master... wasn't this a gift from you?

Theme: Husband and wife work together to reclaim their homeland!
