The story takes place in the fictional Chinese kingdom of Caiyun. According to legend, a young man, aided by the power of the Eight Immortals, founded Caiyun. Consequently, Caiyun's territory was divided into eight provinces: Hongzhou, Huangzhou, Bizhou, Lanzhou, Zizhou, Heizhou, Baizhou, and Chazhou. Approximately 600 years ago, the king of the time ordered the nobles of each province to adopt one of these eight colors as their surnames (for example, the Marquis of Lanzhou became Lan, the Marquis of Hongzhou became Hong, and so on). Commoners were prohibited from sharing surnames with these eight marquises. Consequently, those bearing these eight colors were considered the most aristocratic of the nobles. Furthermore, because the Marquis of Zizhou, where the capital was located, also served as king, the Zi family became the royal family's surname. Despite being born into the prestigious Hong family, Hong Xiuli lived in poverty. She had to work extensively to support her family. Having experienced the turmoil of the throne struggle as a child, she deeply understood the suffering of the people. From a young age, she diligently studied, hoping to pass the imperial examination, become an official, assist the king, and build a prosperous and peaceful nation. However, as a woman, she cannot take the imperial examination. One day, Xiu Li accepts a high-paying commission from Grand Tutor Xiao and enters the harem as a noble concubine to teach and assist the incompetent emperor. This opportunity leads Xiu Li to a career as an official, and she encounters a variety of people.

The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about the struggle between people's hearts.

All in! (Forget everything, I have to save everyone!)

A heads-up: There are many one-sided crushes, so there will be descriptions of attraction (or something to that effect), but the female lead won't develop romantic relationships with anyone (I can write if/after-flight scenarios or side stories, but not in the main story). ⚠️The relationship between Yuuta Otoko and Rika Inori has been changed to a close friendship, and the nature of "Rika Inori, the Special Grade Cursed Spirit" has been slightly altered ← I'm refining this as I read, so I can't quite define exactly what's changed. (Since there's no proper ending, then there shouldn't be any "romantic love" as a reason from the start.)

Uh, actually, the author wanted to save everyone and also wanted some sweetness, but didn't want any romantic pairings (eyes darting away).

The life forms of ancient legends have sung songs of hope tirelessly for millennia. Those who follow, will they find mercy to stay?

Humans are such wondrous creatures; they create and destroy everything. Evil knows no species, and we shouldn't therefore condemn destruction to an extreme degree. All those who yearn to live better should fulfill their desires with their own hands.

Therefore, let's cherish all our beautiful wishes as much as possible; life should never be wasted.

[Mainly a curse chapter + slightly all-in-one + crossover with some other comics, but I haven't read them so it doesn't matter much + the female lead is a native]

Easy version

Killing someone is easy, but making someone die a painful death is a bit difficult. After all, one still needs to think. Looking at the gruesome deaths of the people, Chen Xiaoyu, feeling a surge of satisfaction from revenge, looked up and met the eyes of a certain boy who was her white moonlight.

OMG, this scene is like stepping in dog poop. Can the world be destroyed first?

After accepting the invitation of her beloved mentor, a yakuza girl, she entered a vocational college and met a group of friends. Her heart was touched, and a happy life was about to begin. However, after witnessing a series of bizarre operations in the world of sorcery, the icy girl, who thought she had a "good" temper, finally couldn't help but explode.

This world of sorcery...

Deep Version

The girl, clutching a dirty fox doll, walked through the ruins of the world, enveloped by a dark and twisted malice.

It doesn't matter anymore, let it all be destroyed, none of this has anything to do with her.

Vibrant lives wither, and dark buildings collapse.

In the ruins, she saw a blurry face laughing wildly, which looked just like a beautiful rose.

"Rose" saw her too, and the moment "she" turned around, the girl's gaze froze, and time seemed to stand still.

It was a face exactly like hers.

At that moment, "she" reached out her hand to her and lazily greeted her.

"Hello, my other self. Do you need my help?"

As their fingertips touched, the pitch-black world began to collapse. In the moment their souls merged, the girl saw a new "self" being reborn in the blood.
