Is magic really just a wish machine?

No, in a universe where magic truly existed, magic would be as simple and beautiful as the laws of physics.

This is the story of a mass-produced magic war tool man who learned the ultimate nature of magic.

But so what?

Just like a bird can fly without understanding aerodynamics, a magician does not need to understand its nature to use magic.

Knowing the ultimate nature of magic also does not mean that the tool man can transform into a great magician.

But the desire for knowledge is human instinct, and curiosity is the first driving force of human civilization. Even if it is magic that should have no reason at all, humans still hope to understand its inner operating rules.

Exploring the ultimate nature of magic requires no reason!

The story in the book takes place in a parallel universe where the social environment is approximately the 16th century of our universe. However, due to a bit of a butterfly effect, the continents and oceans of this planet are different from our geographical environment.

Here, muskets are on the rise, but armor has not yet come to an end. Military theories are changing with each passing day, and innovations in systems and craftsmanship are endless. And this world has one more thing than ours: magic.

The world is undergoing earth-shaking changes, and no one can stay out of it.

Huang Weiguo got lucky while delivering a takeaway, and when he woke up he traveled to the world of "Love in the Courtyard".

From the confusion of facing bad neighbors to the wonderful journey of enjoying life.

The golden finger arrives in the space and adds a portal. Under the influence of the spiritual spring water from the ancient well, you embark on the journey of cultivating immortals.

A gate of time and space, and various different time and space planes, laid the foundation for Huang Weiguo's path to immortality.

Synopsis:

18-year-old Yun Ran was the tragic white moonlight (unattainable first love) of a paranoid bigshot in a novel. To survive, she took on a mission to "redeem" the male lead and then fake her death.

But after successfully faking her death, the system suddenly informed her: she redeemed the wrong person.

Now, she has abruptly become 26 years old, with a new body and a new identity. Sitting across from her is a gloomy, aloof man consulting for psychological issues.

The man lounged carelessly on the sofa—handsome, calm in expression, but with eyes full of scrutiny, fixed straight on her.

Unlucky soul Yun Ran wiped cold sweat from her temple: “…”

That was Jiang Yue, her childhood friend—and the real target she was meant to redeem.

Yun Ran: This is absurd :)

What’s even more absurd is that the unscrupulous system started acting up again, forcing Yun Ran to shuttle back and forth between ages 18 and 26.

One second, she’s trapped in the arms of the adult, brooding version of Jiang Yue, unable to move. His eyes are deep and unreadable as he gently rubs her fingertips, his voice like a ghost’s whisper:

“Yun Ran, you lied to me again.”

The next second, Yun Ran is standing outside a high school. The teenage Jiang Yue strides toward her through the curtain of rain, awkwardly tilting his umbrella toward her as the tips of his ears turn red:

“What are you staring at? Let’s go home.”

System: “Host, thrilling enough for you?”

Yun Ran: “…”

Thanks, even a rollercoaster isn’t this thrilling.

In Jiang Yue’s bleak and lonely youth, Yun Ran was the only sliver of light that pierced his endless night.

But her gaze never fell on him. She disappeared like the wind at age eighteen, leaving only regret.

Eight years later, Jiang Yue had become a rising star in the business world, numbing himself with endless work and plagued by insomnia—until his assistant handed him a profile of a new psychological consultant.

The girl in the photo was smiling sweetly. It was her.

His grip tightened on the file. The idea of someone coming back from the dead was far too bizarre.

But whether she was human or ghost didn’t matter. If it really was her, then this time, he would cling to this light and never let go—even in death.

From now on, her gaze would belong to him alone.

Not long after, some employees accidentally witnessed a horrifying scene after work:

Their cold-faced, world-weary boss briskly walked up to a car. The window rolled down, revealing a lively, pretty girl who said something to him.

Soon, the boss got into the passenger seat and left with her.

In just five minutes, the employees were utterly shaken.

“???”

Was that man—the one practically wagging his tail with joy—really their gloomy, foul-tempered boss?

They must be going insane! Sob!

[Decisive and ruthless + Prodigious talent + Superb readability + Satisfying chapters]

Throughout the entire universe, throughout history, there have been countless geniuses and prodigies, but I, Lu Yu, dare to call myself the number one!

An invincible myth?

A peerless genius throughout the ages?

A peerless young supreme being who will shake the ages?

It was merely a product of stealing a bit of my talent.

Possessing the mysterious Black Star, Lu Yu's comprehension is extraordinary. Ancient forbidden techniques, heaven-defying methods, and unparalleled imperial secrets that others need hundreds or thousands of years to comprehend, he can master in an instant...

...

Lin Xiaochuan's parents died, his family fell into poverty, and his millions of family property was defrauded by the person he trusted the most, leaving him in debt! When all these misfortunes made it difficult for him to bear, his fate suddenly reversed!

Lin Xiaochuan discovered that the antique bathtub in his home was actually a passage to ancient times. More importantly, modern worthless items could be exchanged for antiques, jade, gold and silver treasures!

Lin Xiaochuan: Is it so easy to get rich?

The border was cold and hungry, plague was rampant, and the army was approaching! Queen Murong Feiyan of Zhenbei was full of sorrow. After praying to God, she found that she could communicate with future gods. The future gods would respond to any request and make ingenious calculations!

Murong Feiyan: Open the treasure house and give all the rare treasures to the future gods!

After a while, Lin Xiaochuan made a lot of money and became the richest man in the world! Murong Feiyan was strong and accepted the worship of all nations!

This is a world where reading can give you extraordinary power.

Reading Confucian classics can cultivate a righteous spirit;

Reading the Taoist classics can generate innate source Qi;

Reading Buddhist scriptures can help you understand the true meaning of reincarnation;

But Chen Luo's golden finger is a bunch of idle books that even the heavens do not allow to appear in this world!

…

What? "Liao Zhai" is regarded as a holy book by the demon country?

What? Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils opened up a new world of martial arts?

Don’t panic, it’s just a small scene!

Have you heard of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" about this Confucian scholar who was full of powerful generals and wise counselors?

That Taoist priest, have you read "Investiture of the Gods"? You Taoists are really awesome in it!

Hey, Master, please stay, I have another...

{Single female lead + lighthearted comedy + no system + unleashing one's true nature + forced to work}

My name is Jiang Wangbei, and I'm a wealthy second-generation rich kid. My dream is to be a loser. After all, my family has more money than we can spend in several lifetimes. But...

Protagonists: Jiang Wangbei, Bai Lu

Lu Bai was reincarnated because of a rather clichéd plotline—saving someone’s life. This new world is similar to Earth. On this side, Lu Bai has a completely different background from his past life—in fact, you could call it a god-tier starting point.

However, for some unknown reason, the original owner of this body—a brat who ran away from home to make movies and ended up angering his family to death—left behind such a strong obsession that it continues to interfere with Lu Bai, preventing him from returning to inherit his family’s fortune.

With no other choice, Lu Bai desperately scrambles to raise money, hoping to make a film that will fulfill the original owner’s lifelong wish. After that, he plans to happily live his life as Huaguo’s own version of "Lu Scallion" (a play on the celebrity nickname "Lu Han" + "Green Onion").

What he doesn’t know is... the entertainment industry in this world can no longer live without him.
