In 2002, Yao Ming, the "Little Giant" from China, entered the NBA and became the first Asian player to be drafted number one in the NBA draft.

Meanwhile, an 18-year-old high school student, also from the East, was selected fifth overall.

This is the best of times: with stars like Duncan, O'Neal, and Kobe preceding them, and James, Durant, and Curry following them—a truly star-studded era…

This is also the worst of times: facing the Lakers' OK duo, the Spurs' GDP trio, the Celtics' Big Three, and the Cavaliers and Warriors' two powerhouse teams, a single star player has almost no hope of winning a championship...

But I am a high mountain, not a long river.

When encountering mountains, climb them; when encountering seas, cross them. I'd rather be a towering mountain than a river that winds its way into the sea!

You must climb that mountain like a warrior and prove to the world that you are the best point guard and the best player of this era!

Tang Siqi is a homebody. She takes on freelance drawing jobs from home and earns a little money each month, but her income is very unstable, easily leading to financial difficulties.

Hill Terry, Crown Prince of Timeline, possesses the blood of an ancient dragon capable of controlling time, yet his eyes harbor a cold, calculating sequence that trades emotion for omniscience. His world was meant to be a tapestry of knowledge, intrigue, and controlled adventure, until an awakened Titan ruin shatters it all.

The ancient steel civilization has never perished; it lurks in the shadows, regarding the Dragonborn as its most precious "forging material" and manipulating its allies into fanatical pawns. From a desperate escape to trials in the wastelands, from court intrigue to clashes in other realms, Hill matures rapidly amidst blood and fire. He exposes conspiracies, takes in the last surviving dragon, and confronts the chilling malice from beyond the stars, seeking to reshape all order.

As the family's king gradually relinquishes his power, as his sleeping brother awakens with bewildered eyes, and as his former classmates are transformed into twisted weapons by the Titans—Hill knows he stands at a crossroads in history. In his left hand lies the Reverse Scale, inherited from his ancestors, carrying both curse and hope; in his right hand is the Eye of Truth, capable of seeing through all things and weaving time and space.

This is the final glorious era of the Dragonborn, and the prelude to the Titans' return. Hill Terry will use his wisdom and sword to carve out a future for the Time Dragons, on the chessboard of power and the battlefield of flesh and blood, for his loved ones and for his world.

"Elegance" was once the most fashionable compliment in the football world, like blue and white porcelain after a clear rain... exuding an air of "classical" and "artistic" beauty. It was Zidane's composure during the Marseille turn, Riquelme's elegant "Cruyff turn," Berbatov's seemingly lazy shot... those moments that made fans willingly hold their breath... the ball at their feet seemed to come alive, each touch like a brushstroke on a canvas, carrying a graceful, unhurried beauty. Until Makelele's meteoric rise, elegance gradually became synonymous with "sluggishness," silently swept into the corners of history. James Rodriguez's meteoric rise followed by a decline in his career in 2014 further proved that elegance was dead! From then on, elegance became a cursed possession for coaches. In 2015... a Chinese teenager, deemed "unworthy" by experts, walked into Fiorentina with unwavering determination...

[Pre-order "Mistakenly Raising the Eldest Princess as a Concubine" - please add to your collection] [A sweet, lazy, and incredibly powerful dog-like gong (top) x a proud, cat-like older sister shou (bottom), a transmigrated gong VS a reborn shou (bottom), ancient ABO, younger gong, mpreg] Gu Qingci, after an accidental death in the apocalypse, wakes up to find himself transmigrated into the body of the female lead's scumbag wife in an ancient ABO novel. The fallen aristocrat married a merchant's daughter, living off her while utterly despising his new wife. He not only mistreated her but also took several concubines. After draining his wife of her money, he divorced her and remarried. Ultimately, he was framed by his ex-wife, who had become the richest imperial merchant, and her current eldest princess, and exiled to the army, where he died of hunger and cold. When Gu Qingci transmigrated, a rattan cane was stuffed into his hand, meant to beat the kneeling wife, forcing her to give him money to take concubines. With his survival instincts honed in the apocalypse, Gu Qingci plopped down before his wife. Wife: ? ? ? !!! ! Gu Qingci, her eyes brimming with tears, looked pitiful: "Sister, what is taking a concubine? Can you eat her? I only need you, sister!" (Subtle hints: rich woman, hungry, food, waaaah, cute, pitiful, helpless, can be eaten) *** Ruan Zhi noticed that her wife, who was good for nothing but beauty, had been acting strangely lately, as if she had become foolish but not completely so. She no longer disliked her for her money-grubbing ways, protecting her in every way, and voluntarily handed over the management of the household affairs to her. She also put her in charge of the family's estates and shops, and even passed the martial arts exam to avoid taxes! Just when Ruan Zhi thought she was planning something big, she introduced her to the eldest daughter of the emperor and smiled mysteriously: "Sister, want a wife? I'll help you! After the divorce, you can still manage all the properties; I only want a share of the profits." Ruan Zhi: ... After understanding her wife's thoughts, Ruan Zhi looked at her beautiful face and leaned closer to whisper in her ear: "If you want a share of the profits, you'd better please your sister. If you don't do it right, she won't give it to you!" Later, to protect this sweet and soft rice bowl (not really), Gu Qingci became the Great General Protector of the Nation, a super-ranked non-royal prince. During a court assembly, the emperor wanted to bestow upon her a noblewoman as a secondary wife and several beautiful concubines. Everyone thought Gu Qingci would be happy and grateful, but unexpectedly, she trembled and said: "Your Majesty, please don't! I don't want to go home and kneel on an abacus! Please have pity on me!" Before: Rich woman, hungry, rice. After: Wife, hungry, wife.

An honest man, after transmigrating to the world of cultivation for over thirty years, finally fulfilled his two-life wish: to find a wife. However, he soon died unexpectedly.

Defeating a Hydra agent only adds 0.2 contribution points? Looking at the 10 million contribution points required to unlock the Sun Disk, Lin Yuan fell silent. Rebuilding Shurima's glory, Hydra shedding a little blood—isn't that a bit much? When Thanos descended, he encountered the newly unlocked Mordekaiser; when the Time Bureau wanted to annihilate the timeline, they met the time assassin Ekko; when the Celestials descended, they encountered Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger; Lin Yuan thought: It's normal for a legitimate Shurima Empire to be full of talent, right?

Zhao Nuan died unexpectedly while fighting floods and disaster relief. When she opened her eyes again, her soul had transmigrated into the fictional ancient Zhao Nuan.

In ancient times, Zhao Nuan also encountered a flood, leaving only her and her daughter as the last members of her family.

Having escaped death, Zhao Nuan, along with the original owner's infant daughter, followed the refugees to the capital. After witnessing countless corpses and refugees disappearing without a trace along the way, she decided to sell herself into servitude as a wet nurse in the Wu'an Marquis's mansion.

Just when she thought life was going well, the Marquis's mansion was suddenly struck by a major change, and the entire household was exiled.

Lady Hou entrusted her youngest son to her care and recognized her as her biological mother.

To evade capture, Zhao Nuan, with her cautious and resourceful nature, took her daughter and young master and headed north.

After many hardships, she arrived at the harsh exile site earlier than the rest of the people exiled from the Marquis's mansion.

To repay the kindness of being taken in, Zhao Nuan cleared land, planted crops, and raised chickens and sheep before the arrival of the Marquis's family.

Despite the hardships of exile, Zhao Nuan managed to get everyone in the Marquis's household involved in playing a sandbox farming game.

Selling mountain products, opening restaurants, building workshops—it was all incredibly bustling with activity.

People of insight from all directions came to seek refuge, and advisors from all sides invited him to join their grand plan.

The people of the Marquis's residence politely declined.

Suddenly one day, an urgent imperial edict arrived, summoning the wet nurse Zhao Nuan to the palace for an audience with the emperor.

Zhao Nuan: ...politely declined.

The people of the Marquis's mansion: We can be exiled, but we cannot take away the wet nurse.

Aren't you people of high moral character? Aren't you a staff member?

Come, come, let's discuss how to rebel.
