The Whole Family Cultivates the Way of Ruthlessness

Everyone in the cultivation world knows that Wen Ranqing, an elder of the Sword Pavilion at Tianyan Sect, has extraordinary talent with the sword. A great cultivator at the Deity Transformation stage, she's stunningly beautiful and admired by countless cultivators across the world. She's also the best of Tianyan Sect. Unfortunately, rumors say her Dao companion hurt her years ago, prompting her to switch to the Ruthless Dao. Now she's even harder to approach. Luo Baiyi could probably be called Wen Ranqing's ex-husband. He's the most beautiful person in the cultivation world. When he and Pavilion Master Wen became Dao companions, everyone thought Wen Ranqing had been fooled by his face. Blinded by jealousy, they completely overlooked the fact that he was also a once-in-a-millennium genius from Qingxu Sect, second in strength throughout the world. First place went to his master. Sadly, such an exceptionally gifted figure also cultivated the Ruthless Dao. Everyone wondered which of them would be the first to kill their spouse to prove their Dao. People discussed it every year, and the slightest stir at Tianyan Sect or Qingxu Sect would set everyone buzzing. Later, another major event happened at Tianyan Sect: Wen Ranqing and Luo Baiyi's daughter, Wen Chenyue, had also begun cultivating the Ruthless Dao. The onlookers were dumbfounded! Had the Ruthless Dao saved their family in a past life? Why was the whole family offering themselves to it in this one? But they heard that Wen Chenyue also had exceptional talent with the sword. She'd already reached the Golden Core stage at just sixteen. It was terrifying. Even if one started cultivating in the womb, reaching the Golden Core stage at sixteen was difficult using orthodox cultivation methods. Everyone wondered whether the Ruthless Dao had some special shortcut. When her senior brothers and sisters asked about it, Tianyan Sect's junior sister Wen Chenyue said, "Immortals don't fall in love. They cultivate straight through to the Nascent Soul and Deity Transformation stages." Tianyan Sect disciples: ? Their junior sister was saying things they didn't understand again. Wen Chenyue thought she was still progressing too slowly. She was truly worried that her mother in this life might kill her husband to prove her Dao. But... given her own strength, she probably couldn't stop her. Maybe she should let that father of hers die first, so her mother could have her moment, then bring him back with a heavenly treasure. That would save them from a tortured love affair and endless entanglement. Her real father, Luo Baiyi: ...What a filial daughter! Later, the cultivation world's gossip-lovers decided Wen Chenyue definitely wasn't cultivating the Ruthless Dao. Otherwise, why were so many people demanding that she take responsibility for them? The young master of Kaiyang Sect, a prince of the demon race, the young lord of the Spirit Taming Hall, the eldest disciple of the Joyful Union Sect... Was she sure she wasn't cultivating some kind of Passionate Dao? Wen Chenyue: ...It really is the Ruthless Dao. Those people are all my friends. Wen Ranqing was sure her good girl couldn't be at fault. It had to be because Luo Baiyi's constitution had affected her. With that thought, her expression turned cool and she grabbed her sword, heading straight for Qingxu Sect. Luo Baiyi: ...I should probably be called Luo Blame Magnet now. Before long, Luo Baiyi came to appreciate his daughter's friends. After all, his daughter cultivated the Ruthless Dao, and he could keep all these people in line. But this suspiciously familiar, sanctimonious fellow who appeared out of nowhere... he... Yue'er, this is a bit too difficult. Wen Chenyue tilts her head. Father, when you met Mother, why didn't you think that way? Luo Baiyi: ... He sought out Qingqing for reasons other than cultivation. Wen Chenyue stares at him, wide-eyed. She hadn't sought that person out, either. He'd attached himself to her. Ever since she learned his true identity, she'd felt the Heavenly Dao's deep malice. Upcoming novels Everyday Chaos in Early Tang Tang dynasty, June of the ninth year of Wude. Prince of Qin Li Shimin launches the Xuanwu Gate Incident. Li Yuan abdicates and takes the title of Retired Emperor, and Li Shimin ascends the throne, adopting the reign title Zhenguan. Thirteen days after ascending the throne, he enshrines the Lady of the Sun, the Changsun clan, as empress. Afterward, Changsun's old illness worsens. Li Shimin posts a royal notice offering a reward to any renowned doctor who can treat the empress. In her previous life, she studied software testing in computer science. In this life, five-year-old Daoyoung Zhai Yue looks at the royal notice thoughtfully. Li Shimin probably won't be too hard to con! Li Shimin: ... Li Shimin discovers a lively, adorable young Daoist. Though she's a commoner, she's gifted and lovely, with a familiar face. She usually says things like "Boundless Heavenly Venerable" and "By command, swiftly as the law decrees," but when she's in a hurry, she says, "Amitabha." She also has strange abilities and isn't afraid of him. It's just that her mouth can sometimes be even more infuriating than Wei Zheng's. Later, he realizes the reason she looks familiar is that the child's eyes and brows resemble Guanyinbi's. Later, Li Zhaiyue proposes the policy of equalizing taxes per person regardless of landholdings, and the aristocratic clans turn against her, declaring her a demon Daoist and demanding her execution. She's had it! Li Shimin's face darkens. She's the precious child he and Guanyinbi lost. Whoever dares bully her will have their entire clan exterminated. But she doesn't recognize him and doesn't believe a word the emperor says. Furious at the aristocratic clans' slander, Li Zhaiyue hops around in anger. She only wanted to earn a living. Did they have to be so vicious? Fine, then. They can hardly blame her for fighting back. As someone who came from another time, she has no shortage of ways to stir things up. She's ready for war. Li Zhaiyue: "Amitabha. Though Heaven cherishes life, I have always repaid grievances with grievances. Returning kindness with resentment is something I'll save for my next life!" The ministers of Great Tang: ... Little Daoist, do you remember who you are? The Princess's Career Change: Infrastructure As a newly hired archaeologist, Yin Man scoffs at the saying that disturbing one's ancestors' graves brings divine punishment. China has five thousand years of history. Why shouldn't she study her own ancestors' tombs? But... She gazes at the magnificent pavilions and towers before her, rising one every five paces, another every ten, stretching without end. Then she turns to look at the young boy beside her, who smiles gently and reaches out to touch her forehead. "A Yin, are you still asleep?" Yin Man's mouth twitches. She looks down at her little hands, takes a deep breath, and gazes up at the clear blue sky, silently rolling her eyes at Heaven. Damn you, Heaven! An earthquake sends me all the way back to the Qin dynasty? Hurry up and send me back! I'm done with archaeology. I'll change careers as soon as I get home. "Um... Brother Fusu," Yin Man, or rather Ying Yinman, says, forcing a smile at the young boy. "Yes, yes! I'm still dreaming. Don't say anything." Fusu looks puzzled. He feels that A Yin's tone is a little strange. Ying Yinman looks at the towering Qin palace before her. Who could have guessed that in just over ten years, the great Qin Empire, where carriages shared the same axle width and books used the same script, would collapse overnight? Both Fusu here and she herself would become sacrifices to the empire. She doesn't know what would happen if she were one of Qin Shi Huang's other daughters. Unfortunately, Ying Yinman is the only princess recorded in later history. As a beloved daughter of Qin Shi Huang, her fate was only a little worse than Fusu's: in the first year of the Second Qin Emperor's reign, Hu Hai had her executed by dismemberment. Thinking of this, she looks at her fellow victim. "Brother, let's go beat up Hu Hai." First things first: revenge. Fusu nearly chokes at her words, then laughs. "A Yin, little Hu Hai is only two. We can't hit him. Wait... he's our younger brother. We can't hit him in the future, either." Hu Hai is ten years younger than he is. Ying Yinman chuckles. When her life is on the line, she doesn't care if he's a child. She'll beat him up all the same. As Qin Shi Huang's daughter and a noble princess of Great Qin, Ying Yinman does the math and realizes that her future prospects are far too dangerous. The career of Qin princess is clearly going nowhere. Even if she somehow escapes death, she'll probably be used for a political marriage. After much thought, she decides to change career paths. As the First Emperor's daughter and a descendant of China, a princess becoming an empress doesn't seem all that difficult. Take a chance and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. Can anything be worse than being dismembered? Theme: Care for lonely parents and build a better life
