Abandoned Dog (Transmigrate into a Book)

[Blurb below]

Coming soon: Who Exactly Is Coveting Me?!

One day, the arrogant and domineering eldest princess, who has made enemies everywhere, discovers that the regent is looking at her in a rather unusual way.

At the same time, the top-ranked scholar actually offers himself to her, giving up a career as a government official because all he wants is to become her consort.

The hostage prince from a neighboring kingdom, who grew up with her, stops picking fights with her and starts trying every way he can to please her.

But there are already ten male companions living in her princess's residence. Wouldn't three more be a bit much?

Coming soon: The Heroine Never Wastes Time Worrying

“I want a sword. Just an ordinary sword.”

“An ordinary sword won't last. I want to have a sword forged.”

“A forged sword has no special features. I want a precious sword that can cut through iron like mud.”

And so, on her first venture into the martial world, Ji Xiaocao set off down a one-way road of buying swords again and again.

She couldn't bring herself to settle for an ordinary sword.

But she couldn't afford a precious sword.

One day, Ji Xiaocao scrimped and saved until she had enough silver to sign up for a martial arts tournament. Starving until her front nearly touched her back, she suddenly caught the scent of soap drifting past her. She was hungry, of course, but she also sensed an incredibly powerful murderous aura!

The man dressed in black was Dugu Jian, a swordsman so fearsome that the whole martial world trembled at his name. He had never lost a duel!

Ji Xiaocao took a liking to his sword.

And to him, too!

The things you can't have are the ones that never stop stirring your heart.

Thank you, dear readers!

Blurb:

In a time of chaos, she is reborn as a peasant girl in a book and learns that she is fated to be drowned in a pond.

To survive, A Yuan follows the few scant descriptions in the book and saves the future hero who will one day shake the north and south during the chaotic era.

However, the villagers still drag her to the river, bind her hands and feet, and throw her into a hole in the ice.

As the freezing water touches her, panic fills her heart.

Had she saved him for nothing?

Where was the hero of the chaotic era she had been promised?

Snowflakes fall in thick sheets with a soft rustle. A Yuan hunches her shoulders and tucks her hands into her sleeves. Her thin, threadbare cotton-padded coat may not even see her through the winter.

Look, even the stray dog in the corner is shivering in a ball.

Seeing it fills her with a strange sense of sympathy, like a hare mourning a dead fox. She feels around in her pocket and pulls out a hard, dry flatbread left over from yesterday.

Does this stray dog still have enough strength to bite?

She takes a few more steps, crouches down, and tries to toss it the bread.

Snow has settled over its tangled, dark fur. Its body is filthy, and its dried blood has crusted over.

Well, would you look at that. It's a person.

[Serial] A Retiree's Guide to the Martial World

After Jiang Zao escapes from the organization, she has nowhere to go. She is also poisoned and has lost all her martial arts skills.

The organization told her that the poison was vicious, and that when it took effect, her meridians would snap and she would die a terrible death.

After the poison flares up, a young master saves her. The village is remote, making it a good place to recover her strength and look for an antidote.

The young master everyone in the village talks about is the very man who saved her. He spends his days doing nothing, acting like a layabout, throwing his weight around, and lazing about instead of working. He is spoiled by wealth, and not easy to look after.

One night, after getting drunk, she overhears the master and servant talking. They say there is an antidote for the poison in her system.

Under cover of darkness, she sneaks in to search for it.

With a clatter, something falls out of a wooden chest and wakes the person on the couch.

The two of them stare silently at the gleaming golden object engraved with a dragon in flight.

This... looks like the legendary imperial seal.

In the sweltering height of summer, the weather is scorching.

That night, as they sit in the courtyard to cool off beneath a sky full of stars, Jiang Zao holds half a watermelon chilled in well water.

Fu Linchuan lazily rocks in a recliner, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. As they casually chat about the history of the previous dynasty, he asks curiously, “What would you do if you were given armor and command of an army?”

Jiang Zao: “Execute the foolish emperor and eliminate future troubles.”

Fu Linchuan: “.”

It seems he is the future trouble.
