Mountains, Seas, Empty Moon [Matriarchy]

Chi Tong was the sovereign of Shanhai, and everyone in the Six Realms knew she loved collecting beautiful people.

To gain magical power that took a century to cultivate, people kept remaking themselves into the most exquisite objects, hoping to earn the favor of the Lord of Shanhai.

The Immortal Realm remade a beauty's bones and tendons, then offered her a tribute as soft as a boneless creature. She accepted.

A prodigy of the Divine Realm lowered himself and spent several lifetimes seducing her, all for a moment of her tenderness. She accepted him.

A young general of the Demon Realm had never forgotten her casual charity from years before. He endured the torments of hell every day, all to become a servant at her side. She accepted him.

The Demon Realm, the Underworld... she accepted them all.

Everyone in the Six Realms called her cruel and vicious. Though she ruled over the life and death of all creation in Shanhai, she had no reverence for life itself.

The leaders of every realm gathered and cried, “Heaven, punish the Lord of Shanhai!” Yet the Lord of Shanhai remained nestled in a lover's arms, acting as if none of it concerned her.

Only when heaven and earth began to crumble did she kill the person beside her and use their purest blood to restore order. Only then did the gods and demons begin to tremble in fear.

The Lord of Shanhai truly was cold-blooded and heartless.

Official blurb:

The first time Mo Li ever disobeyed his mother's instructions and ran away on his own, he met the person who would imprison him for the rest of his life.

The woman smiled at him, light shimmering in her eyes. He watched with his own eyes as her purple irises turned a dazzling yellow.

Captivated by those eyes, he asked her as if possessed, “Big Sister, could you help me escape?”

If he could do it all over again, he thought, he might never say those words.

Later, imprisoned in Shanhai Palace, he struggled with all his might to escape.

But his back collided with a cold embrace. The woman's breath brushed his neck, chilling as a snake's forked tongue. In her usual tone, she whispered in his ear, “Li'er... are you playing hide-and-seek with me?”

The next moment, that familiar face appeared before him and covered his lips. Behind him, an identical face kissed his neck.

A slick sensation touched the back of his hand. He looked down and saw yet another familiar face.

At last, he broke down and screamed.

The entire world beneath the four seas and eight lands was controlled by the Lord of Shanhai. He would never escape this cage, not in this life or the next.

Content warnings: 1. Not a one-to-one pairing. The female lead is not a virgin, the male lead is. There's a harem, and men can give birth (in the extras).

2. A matriarchal romance with many original settings. The male characters suffer, a lot! Please don't read if that's not for you.

3. For a more comfortable reading experience, the “people” in this book aren't necessarily actually “people.”

New book now available: "Please, I Just Want to Stay Alive: GB Quick Transmigration"

Song Cheng is a screenwriter for a quick transmigration System. After her repeated stories about underdogs turning their lives around without a golden finger drew complaints from quick transmigrators, her superiors decided she should try it herself. If she couldn't complete the tasks she'd designed, she would lose her job and be sent back to her original world.

But she'd already been dead in her original world for ages, hadn't she?

Song Cheng: How hard can it be? How could I fail a script I wrote myself?

World One: You are a county magistrate. You must become emperor and reach the pinnacle of life.

Other transmigrators: That's as hard as reaching the heavens!

Song Cheng: Easy!

The Third Prince rules the government and controls the court. Song Cheng acts sweet and gentle during his inspection tour, plotting to make him fall for her. She accompanies him all the way to Jing'an, becomes regent, dismantles the old power structure, and ascends the throne.

At her coronation, Song Cheng accuses the Third Prince of colluding with numerous court officials and lacking all shame, declaring him unfit to be her imperial consort. She banishes him to the Cold Palace, never to leave again.

A few months later, the Third Prince, heartbroken and despairing, takes his own life in the Cold Palace.

World Two: You are an orphan. You must become the richest person in the world and reach the pinnacle of life.

Other transmigrators: That's as hard as reaching the heavens!

Song Cheng: Easy!

Meanwhile, the handsome, rich heir grows into a bitter, worn-out old man, scorned by all, and jumps into a river to die.
