I Invite Historical Figures Onto My Show

On the same day, Jiang Yan lost both her six-year romance and her career at the television station. Her fever wouldn't break, and, to make matters worse, she got a call from her uncle back in her hometown.

"When the old man divided up the estate, your father said he didn't want the house and wanted this pile of junk instead. Hurry up and take it away. Don't get in the way of me making a fortune from the demolition."

Her uncle gave Jiang Yan half a day to take away the rusty iron scraps and broken porcelain bowls her grandfather had left behind.

Jiang Yan took the things home. She accidentally cut her finger on a piece of iron...

When she woke up the next day, Jiang Yan was surprised to discover that she had bound a card-drawing System.

"A fragment of an iron piece from the Qin Dynasty has been detected. System assessment: fragment of a Qin sword. Characters triggered: Bai Qi, Qin Shi Huang, and Yi, a Qin blacksmith. Reward: two uses of the illusion."

Jiang Yan looked at the wound on her hand, then at the blacksmith Yi, Bai Qi, and the First Emperor who had appeared before her. She struggled to pick her jaw back up.

To hell with love.

To hell with capitalists.

I'll be the one calling the shots on my own show!

Within the illusion, Bai Qi explained the Qin army's formations from every angle, while she watched the two states wage war up close as they had a thousand years ago.

Blacksmith Yi hammered away as he cheerfully told the story of the Qin Dynasty, known as a tiger-and-wolf state.

The First Emperor stood on a high platform and made his grand vow that the Qin would endure for ten thousand generations.

"A handwritten excerpt from the Book of Han by a later generation has been detected. System assessment: modern handwriting. Characters triggered: Ban Gu, Ban Chao, and Ban Zhao. Reward: three uses of the illusion."

"A fan handle has been detected. System assessment: a handle from a Song Dynasty kesi silk round fan. Characters triggered: the three great talents of the Su family, Xin Qiji, and Lu Xiufu. Reward: three uses of the illusion."

One ancient relic fragment after another pushed open doors veiled in dust and smoke.

Notes:

1. There is a male lead, and he is a modern person. It's an older-woman/younger-man romance, but there's not much of an age gap. The male lead has very little screen time.

2. If you spot any mistakes, please let me know!

I Ascended by Memorizing Tang and Song Poetry

Xu Qingyan transmigrated into a book and became an unfortunate senior sister who only existed in the novel's dialogue. She destroyed her spiritual root to save the young heroine and became a cripple from then on.

Looking at the hole in the roof above her, Xu Qingyan sighed and comforted herself: "This is a humble room, but my virtue makes it fragrant!"

Unexpectedly, she triggered the Word Spirit talent hidden in her body.

Xu Qingyan suddenly sat up from her deathbed, staring at her hands in astonishment.

Well, the teacher hadn't lied to her. Reading really could change one's fate. Literary aura could actually take the place of spiritual energy in cultivation!

From then on, the sound of Senior Sister Xu Qingyan reciting poetry and lyrics could be heard all over the sect.

The disciples: What a waste! Senior Sister has gone crazy!

Even the sword spirit that had been nurtured for a hundred years in the bamboo grove was woken by the noise.

"Bamboo by the stream is green; lotus flowers perfume the mirrored water."

"Better to eat no meat than to live without bamboo."

"A clean sweep of green shade; why need thorns to guard the bamboo?"

The sword spirit: I hear you, I hear you!

Later, demons poured out of the Demon Realm, intent on invading the Three Realms.

The sect's disciples resisted them, suffering countless casualties.

A woman in green, rarely seen by anyone, walked out of Green Bamboo Peak, holding a green bamboo branch, with a wine gourd hanging at her waist.

She approached at an unhurried pace, facing the Demon Realm's army of thousands alone.

The woman smiled freely, drank wine on the battlefield, and charged into battle with her green bamboo.

"Flowers fill the hall, intoxicating three thousand guests; one sword's frost chills fourteen provinces!"

The Green Bamboo Sword summoned a sky full of floral fragrance. As its intoxicating scent spread, the woman in green tapped the ground with her toe and darted through the enemy ranks with a single green bamboo branch.

When she finally stopped, only a speck of blood remained at the corner of her eye.

The Demon Realm suffered heavy losses. The demons retreated to the Thousand Demons Palace, unable to make a move for a thousand years.

The Senior Sister rumored to be mad shook the world with a single sword, earning the title of the Bamboo Sword Immortal Who Carries Wine and a Brush.
