"Dear player, welcome to International Server, a large-scale real-world survival game!"

Original title: "Nightmare Eyes"

"The lost return, and all ghosts are buried in the wilderness." The Ghost Domain, a nightmare to all mortals.

Empress Ren Yan, feared by everyone, could not escape her eventual fall.

Reborn six hundred years later in the mortal world she had always dreamed of, she decides to savor the freedom of mortal life.

Yet the mortal world is utterly different from what the storybooks described.

A mysterious red-clad female general, a "Goddess" controlled by others, a puppeteer whose good and evil are hard to discern, an ambitious merfolk empress, and a divine envoy secretly offering help...

She never expected to meet Chi Gui again. The child from back then has become an emperor of the Ghost Domain, and the feelings he kept buried for so many years can no longer be suppressed.

The two endure one trial after another, yet each hides secrets no one else knows.

Ren Yan never imagined that, over the past six hundred years, he would have paid such a heavy price to bring her back to life.

Note: This story focuses on storytelling and has a plot-driven narrative. Every major character has a complete story arc of their own.

Bonus scene:

On the day Ren Yan became the new "Goddess," he prostrated himself at her feet.

"I am willing to give you my soul." He said "you," not "the Goddess." His voice held an unwavering, obsessive devotion.

Ren Yan did not know how to describe what she felt. When she was empress, many demonic cultivators had admired her, whether sincerely or not, but never before had she felt such intense, burning emotion, as if it might melt her.

In the past, she could have refused without hesitation. Now, she seemed to have lost the power of speech.

Lighthearted version:

A subordinate reported, "Your Majesty, the elders of the three departments in Zhannan are plotting a rebellion!"

Chi Gui: "Arrest them and throw them into Wuman Hell."

The subordinate: "Your Majesty, the leader is Ren Yan... er, the former empress!"

Chi Gui: "Quick, go ask the empress what color throne she likes!"

Subordinate and elders: As long as you two are happy...

Things to note before reading:

1. The heroine is weak in combat at first, but clever. She grows stronger after reforging her divine-demonic body later on.

2. The heroine is not the real Ren Yan. Her true identity will gradually be revealed.

3. The male lead keeps his love restrained at first, then shows it to the heroine without holding anything back.

4. Surrounded by the warmth of those around her, the heroine learns how to love others.

"The Outcast"

Mu Mu is the foremost strategist in the Princess Royal's service. To repay her for recognizing her talent, Mu Mu gives everything she has to help her ascend to the throne.

She also becomes the first female chancellor since the founding of the Great Jing Dynasty, gaining power that others can only envy.

At the same time, she becomes known among the old officials as the empress's lackey, a treacherous villain who persecutes loyal subjects.

But she does not care. It is never easy for a woman to secure her hold on the throne, and she intends to clear every obstacle from the empress's path.

Then one day, the youngest son of her political rival, Minister Song, suddenly treats her differently, showing her tenderness and warning her to beware of treacherous men.

Mu Mu finds it laughable. She is the treacherous one, and besides, she is now second only to one person and above everyone else. Who could she possibly fear?

But only she knows that Song Jin'an is about to see right through her.

To reach her position today, she has walked many thorny roads and done many things others would not dare to do.

Everyone fears her, but deep down, she still feels afraid and insecure.

"I rose from the mire. How could I dare take your hand, young master?"

She fears this may be nothing more than a fleeting dream, a moment of joy that comes to nothing.

Later, she only wants to be a mayfly daring to long for the spring blossoms.

Bonus scene:

Song Jin'an: Mu Mu~

Mu Mu: Don't call me by my full name! It doesn't sound imposing at all!

Song Jin'an: But I'm calling you by your given name~

Mu Mu: Fine, fine! Call me whatever you like! (I begged for this myself. What can I do? I'll just spoil him!)

"Divine Advent"

Mount Wanjun is said to be the last sacred mountain on the Eastern Relic Continent, a site where the gods once dwelled among mortals. The Bai clan of Mount Wanjun are descendants of the gods, but in all these centuries, not one of them has ascended to godhood.

Bai Jin, daughter of the Bai clan's leader on Mount Wanjun, has never accepted defeat. Though she appears delicate and gentle, she is fiercely determined within, and vows to train hard and become a god!

That year, the Bai clan finally produced a god. Bai Jin ascended, and even a fellow female disciple who had trained alongside her was affected and became a demigod. At last, the Bai clan of Mount Wanjun silenced the world, becoming overnight a sacred place that everyone on the continent yearned to visit.

Only after becoming a god did Bai Jin learn how lonely the divine world was. The birth of a new god also meant that another god would perish. The legend that gods could not die was false. Gods were merely people with greater power.

Love among the gods was lonely too. She fell for a god, one who was on the verge of perishing.

Death is the final destination of mortals, and the ultimate destination of gods as well, but not of their souls.

Bai Jin found his soul and used her divine body to guide him, helping him become a god once more.

First love is always beautiful. Even later, when Qin Qing was willing to become a demon for her and Yihua was willing to become a divine envoy for her, neither could recapture that first stirring of her heart.

But a thousand years later, the return of Bai Jin, the ancient progenitor of Mount Wanjun and a high god, to her mortal body shook all of Mount Wanjun.

Theme: There is no absolute good or evil in this world.
