A Question for All Living Beings

Upcoming novel: Let Go of That Sweet Fool. The blurb is below.

An imperfect heroine who will grow x a taciturn, cold, and heartless divine male lead

The gods have fallen, the order of the world is in chaos, and demons and ghosts run rampant.

There is a legend that a deity will emerge from Shoucang Mountain to restore order and set the world right.

When she was thirteen, beneath Shoucang Mountain, Li Yao traded a single copper coin for a deity.

From then on, the two were bound by a contract. The deity promised Li Yao three wishes, while Li Yao had to carry out the deity's missions and search for the divine artifacts that could save the world.

She wished to cultivate immortality, and the deity granted her immortal bones.

She wished for revenge, and a great fire blazed into the sky.

Li Yao worked diligently like an ox or a horse, taking the deity with her as they wandered far and wide, enduring a life of hardship. Today they searched for the Mirror of Heaven and Earth, tomorrow the Bow that Shoots Down the Sun, and the day after that they would snatch the Moon-Capturing Disc...

Fortunately, though the journey was difficult, Li Yao ultimately grew into the person she had dreamed of becoming.

At first, the deity thought he had met a greedy human. She was no different from anyone else: selfish, cowardly, timid, and foolish.

Why, of all people, had he made a contract with her?

The deity could not understand.

Later, the deity learned that even the lowliest speck of dust could give rise to a brilliant flower.

A girl who had once been timid could stand up courageously, face calamity and hardship with a sword in hand, and save all living beings.

[There is no need to bow and ask the gods and ghosts. I will save the world with my sword.]

Upcoming novel: Let Go of That Sweet Fool. Blurb:

A clever, two-faced junior sister x a self-conscious, devoted second senior brother

In her previous life, Chen Ruowei did every kind of evil: she betrayed her sect, killed her master, and joined the despised Qianmen. In the end, she unified the cultivation world. On the very night she became its ruler, she drank too much and died in her sleep. Who would have thought that when she woke up, she would be back hundreds of years in the past, at seventeen?

Seventeen-year-old Chen Ruowei was still her master's good disciple and the sect's little junior sister. She was gentle and approachable, always smiling at everyone, but only she knew that it was all an act.

Chen Ruowei, reborn: "I'm done pretending!"

The next day's sect headline: Shock! Why would the junior sister do this?

Chen Ruowei kicked her master and punched her way through the sect, only to discover that things were not so simple. The things she had seen in her previous life, true and false alike, had all been part of a scheme.

Tan Qing considered himself an ordinary, mediocre person who would never amount to anything.

His talent was average, his looks unremarkable. He could not compare to his senior brother's elegance, nor to his senior brother's extraordinary talent.

In the illusion, Tan Qing was still fighting for his life, while his senior brother had already rescued Chen Ruowei. In the Sutra Library, Tan Qing was still seeking enlightenment, while his senior brother had already made a breakthrough and attained understanding. On the dueling platform, Tan Qing was sent flying with a single strike from his senior brother.

He struggled up from the ground in a sorry state. His senior brother stood tall on the platform and said only, "You let me win."

His world was gray and white, until he met Chen Ruowei, the only bright color in his life.

After a calamity, Tan Qing thought this was probably how the rest of his life would go: his wish shattered, his cultivation gone...

But Chen Ruowei: how could he ever let her go?
