[New novels coming soon (please add them to your reading list!)] Coming Soon #1: Killing Your Wife to Prove Your Dao Is Illegal * A pure and peerless young Taoist priest x a sharp-tongued, doomed first love * Rivals competing for her / Male lead goes crazy with love / “Cao Cao” trope * Modern cultivation, with a touch of mystery Fang Yao had always been a staunch materialist, but somehow she’d gone and married a young Taoist priest. Xu Qunyu was handsome, with delicate features, red lips, and pearly teeth. When he met her, he wore faded cloth trousers and a shirt, his sleeves billowing with the wind, giving him an otherworldly air. He was so poor he couldn’t even scrape together two coins to clink together. After they married, Xu Qunyu made a career of living off his wife, with Taoism as his side hustle. But at least he was handsome and well-endowed, did his share of the chores, and was attentive and considerate in every way. Fang Yao was fairly satisfied with him. Until one ordinary afternoon, when Xu Qunyu suddenly raised his sword and pointed it at her forehead. The moon-bright sword gleam illuminated his handsome features, and Fang Yao’s heart sank. She asked in disbelief, “Why?” He answered with conviction, “Because you’re fake, and so is this world. It’s all just an illusion created by my inner demons while I cultivate. Only by killing you can I end it all.” With trembling hands, Fang Yao called 110. “Hello, I need help. My husband’s gone mad and is trying to kill me to prove his Dao.” Before she could finish, her phone suddenly shut down. Fang Yao burst into tears, sobbing so hard she could barely catch her breath. Xu Qunyu looked at her, then let out a long sigh and pulled her into his arms, speaking as if to her, though it sounded more like he was talking to himself. “Don’t cry, don’t cry.” His words held an immeasurable heartbreak. Later, Fang Yao discovered something even more terrifying. Xu Qunyu might, perhaps, possibly… not be her actual husband. - As a teenager, Xu Qunyu had loved a woman. She was his senior brother’s wife. Later, she died, and no one remembered her. Except him.

Bai Zhi died in a car accident on her way home from school. She was lucky enough to be reborn. But she was reborn as a dog: a delicate, frail Maltese, the abandoned kind.

She crawled through trash cans, stole sausages, got chased and bitten by fierce strays, and ran until her legs cramped while a big mongrel pursued her.

She nervously looked up Long ears standing upright like blades, a stern, cold face, muscles rippling beneath sleek black fur that gleamed in the light. Every inch of him spoke of noble blood and a privileged upbringing. The newcomer’s sharp eyes sized Bai Zhi up, full of wariness and a hint of disdain. Her rich mom held the cowering Bai Zhi and pointed to the tall, powerful Doberman. “Xiao Bai, this is your big brother.” Bai Zhi trembled. “H-Help…” Lu Shijiu looked down on weak, spoiled little dogs like Bai Zhi. He wouldn’t even walk beside her when they went out. But later, when she was diagnosed with syringomyelia, he stayed by her side every day and wouldn’t go anywhere. When will you get better so we can go for walks together? He gently touched her soft little paw, afraid she might never respond to him again.
