A modern man travels through time and space to the primitive era. Unexpectedly, he becomes the villain, the demon master Kunpeng. In order to become a saint, he makes many calculations and finally becomes a saint.

The main characters: Kunpeng, Tongtian Sect Master, Taishang Laojun,

Reincarnated as the female leader of a nomadic tribe, Shoukang Xiuqiu commands ten thousand people. They lack clothes and food, and winter is approaching fast. The tribe suggests she lead raids to steal grain from the Central Plains people. She immediately slaps the suggestion away and angrily scolds them, "How can we stoop to being beasts?"

Just when she’s starving, a beautiful young woman from the Central Plains arrives, offering a thousand shi (a measure) of grain as payment, asking her to rescue her brother who is trapped in the Anubi tribe. The tribe scoffs, saying, "Anubi has forty thousand troops. Let alone that we can't defeat them, Anubi and us share a common ancestor. Why would we help you fight our own people?"

Shoukang Xiuqiu sees the beautiful woman—pitiful and lonely, with no one by her side—and thinks, if she’s not rescued, she’ll probably be kidnapped by another tribe and become a breeding slave. How miserable that would be. Plus, they’re running out of food. Without hesitation, she agrees: "Alright, I’ll go to Anubi and get your brother back."

Her tribe warns her, "Leader, we’re the lowest-ranked tribe. By the rules of the steppe, we don’t even have the right to enter Anubi’s territory."

Shoukang Xiuqiu’s face is expressionless as she replies, "Then we’ll just set a fire, force them to come out and talk to me. That way it won’t count as us entering!"

The tribe’s jaws drop in shock: "Uh!!! Leader, are you serious? How can we possibly fight them?"

She boldly declares, "I’m just inviting them to join our big family, to strengthen our forces. If they refuse, then we’ll join them. Either way, we’ll get your brother back."

The tribe mutters: "Such a fierce woman!"

The beautiful woman from the Central Plains looks at this demon named Shoukang Xiuqiu with wide, amazed eyes, filled with great interest.

From then on, the tribe called Aguan, once unknown in the chaotic era of the Hu people, stormed northwards, slaughtering Hu soldiers and tyrants. The world was stunned, and they became famous overnight. Later, they established Western Wei, uniting all ethnic groups in a flourishing era, ending a century of chaos in the Central Plains.

---

One day in the camp, Shoukang Xiuqiu was being teased by her subordinates again.

"She’s obviously a Hu woman, but she kills Hu people so enthusiastically, you’d think she was from the Central Plains."

"Exactly, and she even married such a beautiful wife."

"What does that have to do with the leader marrying a wife?"

"It means she’s a henpecked husband. We call her the 'wife controls the hitter,' or simply 'wife rules.'"

Shoukang Xiuqiu was so angry she wanted to beat up those bastards. Suddenly, a soft, fragrant body hugged her from behind, sweetly whining, "Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu, I found something I like."

Her expression softened instantly, full of affection. "What has my lady found this time? Buy, buy, buy! We have money to spare!"

Xiao Hao nuzzled her cheek. "There’s a plain near the sea in the southern country, perfect for growing lychees and longans—you know how much you love them. So I want to buy some."

"Buy it! I’ll send the carts right away."

Xiao Hao suddenly whimpered and complained, "But they say I’m a fox spirit, a calamity to the country, and refuse to sell to me. Not only that, they say they wouldn’t even throw it on the ground to feed the dogs."

"The southern country dares slander my lady like that!" Shoukang Xiuqiu’s killing intent rose. "Bring me the marching maps! From now on, we’ll never be short of lychees again."

"Once we conquer them, we’ll eat for free and to our heart’s content!"

---

Because of lychees, the southern king whose country was destroyed muttered:

"Damn! Those treacherous merchants fooled me!"

Theme: Embrace the light, be strong and unyielding.

Tomorrow, you will receive your pay at the parade grounds, but do not wear armor. This

time-honored saying forces Yun Tianyang,

who has time-traveled to the late Ming Dynasty, to flee with a handful of defeated soldiers. On the vast ocean, where will he go?

This world is in the latter half of the Age of Exploration, with vast swathes of the New World being explored, plundered, and colonized by Europeans, ultimately achieving European dominance.

Can Yun Tianyang catch this last train? And lead this ancient nation to once again the pinnacle of the world?

Xia Qingdai received a lifelike model of an ancient castle.

Inside, a group of tiny figures inhabited the model. Amidst a heavy snowfall, one figure attempted to burn an even smaller figure.

Xia Qingdai reached out and lifted the figure from the flames...

In the winter of the 18th century, a blizzard ravaged the castle.

Owen, newly heir to the family castle, was enjoying a rare meal when he was disturbed by a group clamoring to burn a witch. There was no witch!

Before he could rebuke them, he was shocked to see a hand descend from the sky!

— A farming novel, a journey through time and space, both ancient and modern.

Xiao Jin transmigrated into a melodramatic angst-filled novel as a cannon fodder side character.

A strange woman who was disabled, disguised herself as a man, and obsessed with the male lead.

None of that mattered though, because she wouldn’t survive more than three chapters.

The cannon fodder was the third prince of the current dynasty—an accomplished war hero with a fearsome reputation that spanned the empire. Enemy armies trembled at the sound of his name. He was known as the “Ghost Rakshasa.”

Yet this god of war was gravely injured and crippled, coughing up blood after taking just a few steps.

He also developed tuberculosis and hovered on the edge of death.

There was only one reason for this: it was an angst novel. The male lead was the Crown Prince, and the female lead was a fallen princess from a ruined nation.

The cannon fodder’s only role was to destroy the heroine’s country, then die beautifully.

At this moment, Xiao Jin stared at her ruined legs and the pool of blood she had just coughed up. Her mental state completely collapsed.

She kindly told the butler to prepare a coffin—she’d lie down soon.

Then the mechanical voice of a system rang out.

“Warning! Host’s life has only 48 hours remaining. Please complete the first task as soon as possible to extend your lifespan.”

“Task 1: Interrupt the wedding — forcibly marry the heroine who is about to wed the second male lead.”

“Friendly reminder: Only after completing all tasks and getting killed by the heroine, Chu Shao, will your life countdown stop and you can return to your original world.”

Xiao Jin was silent.

In her mind, she pictured a terminally ill cancer patient in a wheelchair dramatically crashing the heroine’s wedding.

“…”

Xiao Jin: “Can I choose death instead?”

System: “Nope, Host.”

⸻

After many twists and turns, Xiao Jin finally completed all the tasks.

That day, the sky was vast and clear, autumn geese flew south.

Chu Shao stepped over the corpses of cannon fodder and returned to her homeland, ascending the throne in glory.

The whole empire bowed before her.

Xiao Jin, in prison robes, sat in a wheelchair, escorted by imperial guards, looking up at the new empress.

She was content.

Everything was ready—now she just needed Chu Shao to kill her.

Empress Chu Shao, with unparalleled beauty, stood with twelve ceremonial tassels hanging from her crown. Sword in hand, she descended the steps and gazed gently at Xiao Jin.

Just when Xiao Jin thought she was about to be stabbed through the heart, Chu Shao raised her sword and slit the throat of the imperial guard beside her.

The rest of the guards turned pale and fell to their knees.

Chu Shao, hands dripping with blood, crouched in front of Xiao Jin. As though gazing up at a deity, she stared at her for a long time.

She placed the bloodied sword aside and said in a trembling voice:

“Don’t leave me.”

[IMPORTANT WARNINGS!!]

1. While the tone of the story is marked as lighthearted, some parts are definitely not.

2. Chapters 138–140 and 77–80 involve side couples and previous-generation characters. They’re melodramatic, not pure (non-virgin), and written to tie together the story’s logic—please read the author’s notes for context before purchasing.

⸻

How to Enjoy This Story:

1. This is a cathartic fantasy story set in an alternate world—historical accuracy is not the goal.

2. The female lead, Chu Shao, is a yandere and mentally unstable. The system doesn’t do much—Xiao Jin mostly survives by being awesome.

3. The ending has a twist, but it’s a happy one. Timeline explanations are in the author’s note for Chapter 175.

One-sentence summary: Don’t leave me.

Theme: Though physically broken, the will remains unyielding. Charge forward with courage.

[Dual Female Leads] + [Angst] + [Happy Ending]

After transmigrating into a novel, Jin Yao discovers she has become the pitiful merman second female lead, despised by the protagonists. She gets her engagement broken off by the male lead, who then tears off her fish scales to make a dress as a gift to the female lead—just to make her smile.

So, Jin Yao immediately chooses to lie low and grow stronger, clinging tightly to the most powerful character in the entire book: a cold, blindfolded beauty!

This blindfolded cold beauty treats her very well—gives her food, a place to sleep, and even protects her from being hunted by the protagonists.

But just as she’s starting to feel secure in this shelter, the blindfolded beauty lifts her chin and says—

"The merman race is born seductive. Would you be willing to form a cultivation bond with me?”

Turns out, the cold blindfolded beauty has fallen for her too!!!

[Mortal flow + no system + slow to warm up + decisive to kill]

The village was massacred and the young man accidentally embarked on the path to immortality.

The world of cultivating immortals is not as beautiful as he imagined. Evil people scheme, intrigue and kill each other for the resources of cultivating immortals.

Where is the final pure land for practitioners?

A young man wanders under the immortal gate, writing an unknown story.

One of the ten great martial emperors, the peerless Gu Feiyang died in the Tiandang Mountains. Fifteen years later, he was reincarnated as Li Yunxiao, the son of Tianshui State, and started a journey against the will of heaven to compete with countless geniuses of the time. The ninth level of martial arts, the ten-sided divine realm, the whole world has gone berserk since then! [Li Yunxiao]

She’s bound to a poison arts system—if she wants to keep living, she has to keep poisoning people to exchange for life force.

Xu Lianqiao: “What am I supposed to do, living every day with the system constantly urging me to kill?”

Everything had been going smoothly—until she ran into a young divine doctor fresh out of Butterfly Valley: Feng Yuchen.

After failing for the 108th time, Xu Lianqiao glared angrily: “Spare me just once so I can poison someone, please?”

Feng Yuchen smiled gently, her eyes curved like a crescent moon, as she applied a silver needle: “No. I cure all illnesses, and I’ll treat you just the same.”

“Don’t believe me? Try for a lifetime.”

Xu Lianqiao: …

I harm people, you save people. Together we cancel each other out. Yin and yang in harmony, opposites attract, and Heaven rewards hard work.
