[China Writers Association's 2026 Most Valuable Literary IP Works for Commercialization] [The 37th Galaxy Awards' Most Valuable Science Fiction IP] [Nominated for the Galaxy Award for Best Online Literature, and winners of the Galaxy Project and Human Theater writing competitions] The heavy rains that had been falling in Jiangcheng for months had concealed many suspicious things. Yu Xian felt he was sick: people around him were disappearing one after another, one smiling suicide case after another occurred, his habits and memories didn't match up, strangers online were having the same dreams, and a university professor died mysteriously. The rain intensified, turning the city into isolated islands. With the floods raging, rumors of "man-made rainstorms" are rampant, vaguely pointing the finger at scientific research institutions. An audio clip titled "Midnight Bus" spread like wildfire through the disconnected campus, even pulling people into a lucid dream. This is a story about searching for the truth of the world during a long rainy season. (Science fiction + suspense, complete outline, plenty of drafts, no riddles, all foreshadowing will be resolved)

Martial arts have nothing to do with music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, nor with treasured artifacts or secret manuals. And there aren't all that many unrivaled champions, either. Martial arts are a skill, a way for the weak to seize an opportunity and turn their blades on the strong. What is chivalry?

What is martial arts? Martial arts have nothing to do with music, chess, calligraphy, or painting; they have nothing to do with treasures or secret manuals; and there are no so many "world's best" martial arts. Martial arts are a skill, a skill that allows the weak to seize an opportunity to wield their swords against the strong. What is chivalry? Chivalry is not about romance or traditional culture; it has nothing to do with gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, or modesty. Chivalry is violence; it's the bayonet forged by those forced into banditry for a tyrant. Cao Mo allied with Ke, then returned to Lu and invaded its territory. Zhuan Zhu presented roasted meat, pacified Wu, and usurped the throne. Zhang Di cried in the marketplace, then avenged his lord by smearing the latrine. He cut his throat to plead his case, acting swiftly and decisively. The tyrannical Qin dynasty stole his spirit, while cowards gained courage. This is a martial arts story. In the 1930s, a group of like-minded young people came together to work towards changing the world. Then, two hundred years later, in a certain landfill, Xiang Shan, the progenitor of cyber martial arts who had recreated the world and established his own system, woke up while chanting the name of his enemy, having lost all his memories. "Perhaps it's because I lost back then that the world has become the way it is..." "Then this time, I will not lose!" This is the story of one person who changed the world once again!
