The Yangzhou Massacre terrified the Southern Ming dynasty, and the Hongguang Emperor fled Yingtian overnight without making any arrangements. At this critical moment, the people of Yingtian spontaneously welcomed the appointed "fake crown prince" out of prison...

Just as the Ming Dynasty was heading towards its doom, the Forbidden City, which had just been built for a hundred years, welcomed a new master.

3 黜 Banishing the Dragon 黜龙 Grenades Fear Water榴弹怕水Historical4.0M WordsCompleted There are dragons in this world. Dragons take countless forms: some roam rivers and seas, some soar over mountains, some hide in the deepest abysses, and some race among the clouds. When roused, they can swallow the wind and summon snow, divert rivers and carve waterways, summon lightning and breathe fire, split mountains and part seas. There are dragons among mankind, too. The greatest among men have lofty ambitions and brilliant plans. They hold the secrets of the universe within them and aspi 111Votes1.9MRecs1.6MFans

There is a dragon in this land. Dragons come in all shapes and sizes, some roaming the rivers and seas, some soaring over high mountains, some hiding in the netherworld, and some leaping among the clouds. Once it rises up, it can swallow the wind and bring down snow, divert rivers and streams, unleash thunder and spew fire, and divide mountains and avoid the sea. There are dragons in this world too. A dragon among men, possessing lofty ambitions, brilliant strategies, the capacity to encompass the universe, and the will to swallow the heavens and earth. When the opportunity arises, one can turn the tide, determine the course of events, establish one's dominance, and prove oneself to be a dragon among men. As a lost time traveler, Zhang Xing initially wanted to become a dragon, but later he found that the industry was too corrupt, so he decided to change careers and become a dragon among dragons. The saying goes, "Travel the world's roads to make the world accessible everywhere, and dismiss all dragons so that everyone in the world can become a dragon." This is a cliché time-travel story.

5 异EN The Record of Unusual Creatures 异常生物见闻录 Yuantong远瞳Sci-Fi5.2M WordsCompleted Hao Ren is a good man, just as his name suggests. His ideal life is to get by in peace, renting out a modest home and making enough to live on without ever getting rich. At least, that was the plan before a bunch of lunatic creatures moved into his house. A remote, dilapidated mansion, a bunch of abnormal nonhuman creatures, and an employment contract from “the gods.” Put those three things together, and Hao Ren becomes the busiest landlord and most capable babysitter in the world.

Curator note

Hao Ren, true to his name, is a good person whose ideal is to live a peaceful life as a landlord who is neither poor nor rich—at least that's how it was before a bunch of crazy creatures moved into his house. A secluded, dilapidated house, a bunch of somewhat abnormal non-human creatures, and a labor contract from a "god"—these three elements combined make Hao Ren the busiest landlord and most capable nanny in the world. Thus begins the most chaotic, strangest, and most abnormal landlord-tenant story. "From the day I put my fingerprint on the employment contract, I knew I was on a sinking ship..."

One day, Song Shuhang accidentally joined a chat group for hardcore fans of fantasy novels and chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur). The group members all addressed each other as "fellow Daoists," and their nicknames were filled with various titles like "Lord of a Palace," "Master of a Cave," "True Person," and "Celestial Master." Even the group owner's lost pet dog was referred to as a "Great Demon Dog Who Ran Away from Home." They spent all their time discussing alchemy, exploring secret realms, and cultivation techniques. One day, after lurking for a long time, he suddenly discovered that... Every single member of the group was actually a cultivator, the kind who could move mountains and overturn seas and live for thousands of years! Aaaaaah, my worldview has completely shattered overnight!

They weren't struck by lightning when they were transported to a chaotic world; it was their own choice. Some wanted to become kings and dominate, some wanted to relieve the people from their suffering, and some wanted to use their own strength to prevent the last barbaric conquest of civilization, thereby rewriting the history of the Chinese nation. Of course, some people only dream of having multiple wives and concubines, living an extremely decadent life that is unattainable in the modern world. This group of ordinary people, each with their own ambitions and aspirations, lacked the physical prowess of tigers, the aura of kings, and any magical advantages. They were crammed haphazardly onto an old ship, possessing only modern machines, technology, and various theories. These time travelers, harboring ambitions, dreams, and ideals unattainable in the modern world, set off towards the chaotic end of the Ming Dynasty. Destination: Hainan.

The word "" (shào) has two meanings: first, to continue; second, to guide. In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Soon after, Zhao Gou, the ninth son of the emperor, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst great anticipation, succeeding the Song Dynasty and changing the era name to Jianyan. However, within three months, Li Gang was dismissed as prime minister, Chen Dong was killed, Yue Fei was expelled from the army, Zong Ze was abandoned in Tokyo, and the anti-Jin deployment in Hebei was completely dismantled... After so many efforts, the civil and military officials finally unified their thinking and decided to support the Emperor Zhao's glorious anti-Jin route of heading south to Huaidian and then Yangzhou. However, as soon as he set off, after paying homage to the Taoist patriarch at the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou, this Zhao official plunged headfirst into the world-famous Nine Dragon Well. When he came out, he did not recognize who his trusted confidants were! I must resist the Jin! But where are my trusted confidants?! This is a sincere cry from a soul nine hundred years in the future. Having reluctantly inherited the name of the Song Dynasty, he is determined to guide the court and the world onto a new path. Therefore, it is called Shaosong.
