"I, Su Shi, and my younger brother, have come to Beijing from Meizhou to take the imperial examination. I miss the flavors of my hometown. Does your restaurant have Sichuan delicacies?"
"Yes! This restaurant is the Sichuan Restaurant!"
Ever since Wu Ming opened the door to 1056, he no longer had to worry about the restaurant's business.
...
"Wu Lou in the south of the state is the best wine shop in the capital, with more than a thousand drinkers. Everyone in the restaurant, no matter who they are, must queue up to enter. Even if one drinks alone, the cups are made of first-class glass. The fruits and vegetables are all exquisite, and cold water and tea are all refillable. They also have twice-cooked pork, fish-flavored pork shreds, and steamed pork with rice flour, all for only a hundred coins per minute."

A pure aquatic creature unable to understand others' emotions, Qingchuan Xiang quit the band she found puzzling. She was confidently enjoying her ever-changing daily life when she unexpectedly encountered a devastating blow from multiple black holes. Even free-flowing water can't escape the effects of being sucked into a black hole, right? "Hey, Tomorin, give me back my daily life!" "Xiang... can't quit the band!" An interesting experiment, a deeply romantic band journey. While on the road, perhaps we can also try visiting Qingchuan Xiang's small bar and ordering a non-alcoholic Sugar Rush.
After traveling through time for ten years, without cheats or talents, Kiyoshi Tousaka has already accepted his ordinariness, and now he has to live an ordinary life. Then he met this noble lady in a gorgeous kimono under the snow. "I need your help." That's what she said. In the rainstorm upstream, his ordinary life changed. Many years later... "Which of us is your first love?" Looking at the two girls in front of him who looked like twins, Kiyoshi Tousaka fell into a long silence. The current situation is not that he is trapped in the Shura field of twin sisters, but that his wife has become two. To be precise, these two girls are both his wives. But how can they meet? They are obviously not in the same world! "Haven't you thought of the answer yet?" "You'd better think it over before answering." Kiyoshi Tousaka rubbed his hair frantically. Can't tell the difference! I can't tell the difference at all! I can't do this question! "I choose death, why don't you just give me a knife."
(Not a plagiarist, the protagonist is an original writer) Listen, if you don't want to be stabbed by girls, you must abide by the following points: be particularly outstanding, particularly handsome, and particularly humorous. These advantages cannot be possessed anymore. You must try to avoid beautiful women, as women will only affect the speed of your sword drawing!
But what should I do if I, Hiroki Harada, have all these advantages? I am so troubled. On the way to becoming a writer, I am unknowingly surrounded by legal loli apprentices, beautiful girl samurai editors, and superstar queens?
I did everything as required but still couldn't avoid being stabbed. It seems that I didn't take enough wolfberry to nourish my kidneys. As expected, as long as my kidneys are well, I can start a harem, right?
The third year of Wanli’s reign, in spring.
The Grand Secretary Zhang Juzheng reinstated the practice of keeping the Veritable Records (Qiju Zhu), assigning the duty to the Hanlin historians on a rotating basis.
From that moment on—
Shen Nian, third-ranked Jinshi from the year Xinwei of the fifth Longqing reign, Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, Compiler at the Hanlin Court, Zhang Juzheng’s most outstanding disciple, and lifelong nemesis of the Wanli Emperor,
—thus began his career as court chronicler.
⸻
That day, the young Wanli Emperor got drunk and missed an imperial lecture.
Shen Nian straightened his back and wrote:
“His Majesty, drunk, missed the imperial lecture. The Empress Dowager and the Grand Secretary rebuked him sternly, even speaking of dethronement.”
That month, a large number of eunuchs were appointed as mining and tax commissioners, extorting wealth from the people.
Shen Nian raised his chin and wrote:
“Before the throne, I declared: ‘The disasters of monopolies and mining taxes are entirely the Emperor’s fault.’”
That year, the Wanli Emperor neither performed the suburban sacrifices, nor paid respects at ancestral temples. He refused audiences, ignored memorials, and ceased court lectures.
Shen Nian and his fellow historians cried aloud:
“Better to die speaking than live in silence. The greatest honor of a court historian is to be killed by the Emperor.”
⸻
Shen Nian said:
“I must be ill. I can’t sleep at all.
I have contracted Zhang Juzheng’s illness—the burden of holding up a collapsing sky—
but I was not destined for Zhang Juzheng’s fate.
In a daze, I saw the Grand Secretariat reduced to two people:
one drafting memorials—that was me;
one issuing imperial replies—that was also me.”
(No system, multiple female protagonists, finance, entertainment, industry.)
In 1996, Gu Junhui was reborn like a bright ray of light.
Once he entered the stock market, his operations swept the financial market like a storm, shaking the entire capital circle.
He has made great achievements in the field of entertainment, and his meticulous layout is like a dense network, which makes Hollywood media tycoons sigh helplessly.
In terms of industry, when new energy vehicles were still in their infancy, Gu Junhui invested in it with foresight and built a complete industrial chain.
From obscurity to a powerful figure, how will he rewrite his life, and what impact will he bring to finance, entertainment, and industry...
Upon waking up, Qiao Songlin discovers that his dreams have begun to manifest in reality. He starts to suspect that he can alter already-established facts through his dreams. As he unintentionally helps others resolve their regrets, he finds himself facing even more troubles. The entanglement between the power of dreams and the schemes of a reborn individual brings complications—good deeds go unnoticed, but misfortunes keep knocking at his door...
After the sudden death of Chen Yan, the King of Juan, he became the only son of a juren in the Daliang Dynasty.
His father was promising, so he, as his son, quickly got laid down and lived a good life with everything provided for him.
Unexpectedly, when he was six years old, he found out that he was taken away from the farmer Chen's family by mistake. The fake young master returned to the Chen family and went to work in the fields that day. He was sucked blood by leeches for the whole morning and had to lie in bed for two days before he recovered.
As he could neither lift anything with his hands nor carry anything on his shoulders, it seemed that the only option left for him was to take the imperial examination.
In order to pass the exam and have a safe place, he risked his life and accidentally took away the top spot that was designated for the son of a powerful official.
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
Leaky rooms, toilet numbers, suppression by examiners and other injustices followed one after another.
Since he won't be allowed to lie down, he will kill all the old officials in the officialdom!
(MyGo + Bangla + K-ON + Umineko. Umineko provides the chaebol background, which will be touched upon in the plot, but if you haven't seen it, it won't affect your reading experience.) The renowned philosopher Dutch van der Linde once said that humans cannot defy instinct, just as they cannot defy gravity. While instincts are certainly insurmountable, is gravity truly irresistible? Ushiromiya Katsuto, a former C-group veteran and former adopted son of the Hirasawa family, said this. "My childhood sweetheart, Kurata Mashiro, asked me to help. Hello+Happy+World wants to continue playing Makoto. Popipa keeps saying I'm their sixth member and asking me to attend their live shows. They even invited me to their after-school tea party at Sakuragaoka." "I'm having a blast supporting the musicians. The Ushiromiya Foundation, Yamabuki Bakery, and the Hirasawa girls and fortune are waiting to be inherited. As the first male student council president of Tsuki no Mori, I have a lot to do, and I'm also starting a new band with my niece, Enju, who's a year older than me." With so much on my plate, it's natural to not be able to go to Ikkyu-ni-MyGo. "Well, everyone, be well then." As Shengren turned his back to the others and prepared to leave, a terrifying aura emanated from behind him. Alas, this author had created another mishmash of a story, and he was going to fail again.
Reincarnated in another world, turned into a shrine maiden, and started with a broken shrine.
I thought that I would cheat some incense money every day, and the days would be very nourishing.
But she discovers that this world is not normal!
You call a cat a Soul Eater, thinking it eats people's souls?
The girl said while petting the cat:
You have a problem with your brain, you need my imperial guard to calm your mind, today is on sale, only 998, half price for the second ticket!
What? You say that my shrine is dedicated to evil gods? It's a joke.
Wait a minute! I just want to make money, I don't want you to be a bad bastard! This ojo is just an ordinary amulet, not a gift from an evil god!
