A scatterbrained poet, a top-tier chicken connoisseur, a senior brother's personal flatterer, an unlearned lazy fox x the most respectable man in the demon realm, a fox-raising expert, the king of overachievers in the cultivation world, and an all-around housework-ace of a big brother
(Kind reminder: Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely no human, demon, devil, immortal, or god has ever ridden the little fox in this story!)
*
Fox demon Zhou Yu aspired to become a legendary demon consort. On her first trip down the mountain after taking human form, she was lured by roast chicken and ended up as a bald monk's mount.
Once a prodigy, Xie Qianyan had his immortal bones dug out by his stepmother and fellow disciples working together. He was then thrown into a demon cave and forced to cultivate the demonic path. On his way back to take revenge on his sect, he got lost and fell into the bald monk's hands, becoming a furnace attendant.
The demon and the fox both swore they would kill the bald monk, but his cultivation was so powerful that he ascended to the upper realm in the blink of an eye.
Before ascending, the bald monk couldn't stop worrying about his mount and attendant. To help them mend their ways as soon as possible, he specially forged a Cauldron of Reform for Heretics and Demons, binding their souls to it and forcing, er, encouraging them to do good deeds, build up merit, and achieve their proper cultivation sooner.
From then on, the heretical senior brother and junior sister tried to build merit and do good, establishing a sect and becoming the light of the righteous path and great powers across the six realms, by doing all sorts of good deeds (not really), like sneaking an old lady out and then returning her, digging up a road and then fixing it, or beating someone half to death in a sack and then saving them.
Later, evil forces appeared and the mortal world was plunged into misery. All the immortal sects jointly begged the two big shots to vanquish demons and protect the six realms.
Fox demon Zhou Yu: "Huh?"
Demonic cultivator Xie Qianyan: "What?"
The Cauldron of Reform for Heretics and Demons, features:
1. Keeps track of the disciples' merit. Method of calculation: random.
2. Anyone who earns less than 100 merit points in a month will receive 100 thunderbolts as punishment. Anyone who fails to earn 100 points for three consecutive months will be killed.
3. The two disciples may report each other's immoral behavior. Merit points will be deducted based on the circumstances.
4. Praising Master each day may randomly earn some merit points.
5. Hidden feature: temporarily hidden.
A little skit:
Zhou Yu: "Master! I want to report Senior Brother for secretly calling you an old bald donkey!"
Jiat'an: "Report successful. Xie Qianyan's merit: -99."
Xie Qianyan: "Master! I want to report Junior Sister for stealing chicken from Auntie Wang's house!"
Jiat'an: "Report successful. Zhou Yu's merit: -1."
Reader's guide:
1. The heroine is neither powerful nor smart. In short: she's quick to run for her life, has a vicious tongue, throws her weight around as a fox, and knows when to yield! It's basically like the silly cat in your house suddenly being forced to go out and work. Adorable, but not a thought in her head~
2. This is not a heroine-centered story. The male and female leads have about the same amount of page time and importance.
3. Neither lead is perfect, and they do some pretty awful things. Please don't read if that's not your thing.
4. No character's values reflect the author's. Everything serves the plot.
5. Sweet romance, guaranteed sweetness, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
Please add my new novel, I Really Don't Know How to Fight in the Inner Courtyard:
Ji Lan transmigrates into the body of a concubine-born daughter of the Ji family, an awkward position made worse by her having an engagement that makes everyone intensely jealous.
To save Cheng Yun, the second son of the Marquis of Jingbei, a flower among men, Ji Lan, the proverbial lump of manure, is killed four times by various people.
On her fifth go-round, a fellow transmigrator gets in touch with her through a System. From then on, Ji Lan enjoys the exhilarating life of a feel-good novel: winning over the male lead, face-slapping the villains, and taking revenge on scumbags.
The only fly in the ointment is her fellow transmigrator, Cheng Yu, the elder brother of the heir to the Marquis of Jingbei. He gets stranger by the day, either urging her to switch male leads or acting as a third wheel and ruining her dates. All he does is hold her back.
Ji Lan: "Brother, we're on the same team. If you keep this up, it'll take forever for us to finish the mission and go home..."
Cheng Yu: "You might not believe this, but this book isn't eunuch fiction, a childhood-sweethearts romance, or a marriage-first-love-later story with a divorce-and-reunion arc. It's a plain old tale of brothers at odds, a Shura field, and forbidden love."
Ji Lan: "..."
Cheng Yu: "Actually, I'm the real male lead."
Ji Lan: "???"
*
Cheng Yu, heir to the Marquis of Jingbei, died in battle. His body was brought back to the capital wrapped in his battle robes, only for him to be accused of treason. The Marquis's household was destroyed overnight, and his corpse was whipped and put on public display.
On the day of the execution, Ji Lan, his usually timid and weak-willed younger sister-in-law, charged into the gates of the marquis's residence and killed herself.
Cheng Yu was deeply shaken. Reborn into another life, he vowed to protect his family, including his chaste and loyal younger sister-in-law.
"Hello, Host. I am System No. 027. Your current mission is to win over the male lead. You... why are you a man? Aaaaaah?!"
Cheng Yu: "???"
Only later did Cheng Yu learn that this System belonged to Ji Lan, who had transmigrated from another world. She had died four times already because she was too clueless and had no System. If she failed this time, not only would she die, but the whole world would be doomed as well.
Cheng Yu thought this would be easy. His second brother and Ji Lan had been engaged since childhood, and they shared a bond forged by life and death in his previous life. Surely the two of them would end up together naturally. All he had to do was arrange their wedding as soon as possible.
The System let out a piercing shriek: "You're the male lead! You! Don't go rushing to be a cuckold, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"
Cheng Yu had always been upright and honorable. He would never do anything as immoral as having an affair with his younger brother's wife. The System had no choice but to dangle a carrot: "Help the heroine with some early missions, earn enough points, and let her exchange them for a different male lead to pursue."
To ensure the plan to switch male leads went smoothly, Cheng Yu asked Ji Lan about her preferences, planning to have his younger brother learn what she liked.
Ji Lan: "Are there any eunuchs under thirty, six foot two, with eight-pack abs, handsome faces, and power over the whole court? You know, an imperial attendant, an Eastern Depot chief, or the director of the Directorate of Ceremonial. The kind who can't have children because they're missing a part?"
Cheng Yu: "..."
What a lunatic!
Cheng Yu decided that finding a husband for his future younger sister-in-law was harder than reaching the heavens. He was the esteemed heir to the Marquis of Jingbei, a young general famous throughout the northern frontier, yet during the day he asked all over the capital about eligible young men, and at night he stayed up late helping her polish love poems. He even created chances for her to secretly meet other men, sent her the guards he'd carefully trained to protect her, and gave her the business holdings he'd painstakingly built up as her dowry...
After pouring his heart and soul into it all, Cheng Yu decided he was the only one who could play the male lead: "System, which is more reliable: Three-Minute Vasectomy or the Sterility Pill?"
System: "Tsk..."
Theme: Whether you're a person or a demon, don't be too awful.
It's so well written, I enjoyed reading it. What I feel can be improved upon is that there is no need to describe the nonsense of Zhou Yu and Cheng Ze in great length during times of crisis. I feel that the author is very serious about explaining the ending of each character, but for example, there is a bit of delay in the elders of the Fox clan. At such a critical time as releasing the boundary stone, there is no need for Zhou Yu to argue with them, and he is kind enough to bury the three of them. Alas, I kept thinking about that boundary stone at that time, and I was so anxious that I covered my face and cried while laughing.
It's December, and I didn't expect to see a fantasy novel of this level in Jinjiang. It's not an exaggeration to call it the best one I've read in 2024. It's so touching, and it's just like Yun Ji Dada. The collection is totally worth adding another 0, and he's a new author, so he can stand shoulder to shoulder with veteran authors, so I looked at the pre-collection with great interest and look forward to the completion of Xunxian~
Wuwuwu, it's so beautiful [Hold your thighs], this is the fairy tale group portrait that impressed me the most after Yun Xian's book, the super invincible giant cute little fox Zhouyu baby, the most reliable male mother, senior brother Jie Qianyan, the ever-changing Cheng Ze who opens the blind box every day, the first daughter of the six realms, the slave demon king Yan Xi, the cannon and the righteous little bird Jinnian, Silly and sweet little tiger, Young Master Xi Xi Huaiyuan who is the most faceless but has no face at all, King Qingjiao who is the most reliable and honest man who guarantees the most peace of mind, the kind and brave angel Nan Yuexing in white, the foul-mouthed fairy Qingwei Zhenren, Lan Niang, a beautiful woman with a man body and a woman heart, Gatan, an old bald donkey who cares about the world, and Qinlan Moyang, a sister and brother who cannot understand people...
Such a cute daily relationship
The echo between the beginning and the end of "Don't Forget Village" is great.
This is a cute novel, the protagonist is cute and the supporting characters are cute, and everyone is very nice. Clicking on the author's column, I discovered that it was actually the teacher's first full-length novel. The author did a great job, with smooth and vivid writing, fascinating plot, and interesting three-dimensional characters. He didn't look like a new author at all. Not only is the emotional line of the protagonist written step by step, but also the interaction between the supporting characters is very good. It can be said to be an excellent group portrait work, with each person having distinct characteristics. The only flaw is that the biggest highlight of this article is given to the male protagonist. As a female channel, I still want to see the highlights of the female protagonist. When I was watching it, I found a comment about why the female character should be the villain. I think it's good for a female character to be a villain. The female character should be given the right to be evil, because she is not doing it for a certain man, but for herself, and the harm is not just to women, but to everyone. The author also used the protagonist to express his thoughts on not wanting women to be punished by motherhood, and also carefully portrayed the female characters. Generally speaking, as a female reader, I felt more comfortable after reading the book. I'm looking forward to the author's pre-collection of Xunxian!!!
Isn't there a master extra story? There's also Mo Yang 😭
The little fox is so cute.
My God, this article is really buried. The small team of protagonists is so cute
After reading it, in fact, the mother of the little fox also gave her life, and I also like the setting that gods will die. I read an article a long time ago about the creation of Pangu, the lord of heaven and earth. He could eat dragons and phoenixes and all kinds of mythical beasts, but they didn't resist him. Then a long time passed. This lord of heaven and earth was too boring. At first, he didn't kill for food. His dragons and phoenixes resisted and he wiped them out. If the immortals lived too long, it would become a disaster.
