[A seemingly cold but actually timid and doting husband × A beautiful and aloof fairy]
Xia Qianhe, a former Demon Lord, possesses both strength and good looks, and has countless fans, but is also a notorious "henpecked husband".
His Daoist partner, Song Ning, was as beautiful as an immortal, delicate and frail, and was a priceless treasure that he cherished and kept hidden away.
During an ordinary celestial banquet, that short-sighted playboy actually wanted to introduce him to a "pure and innocent" seventeen-year-old female cultivator to add to the festivities.
Xia Qianhe: ……
He only had time to yell at the waiter: "Don't embellish!"
However, it was too late—
The celestial music of Tianyin Pavilion suddenly stopped, and a clear, melodious voice resounded throughout the hall: "Tonight, all expenses will be paid by Young Master Xia."
Everyone cheered, "Young Master Xia is so magnanimous!" Only one person looked ashen-faced.
Oh no, his seemingly weak and helpless fairy-like partner is indeed here!
Making him pay a fine is a small matter, but forcing him to kneel through the jade bricks of the cave is a big deal. What should we do?!
If the world lacked someone, it would be different, but it would still function normally. But if a person gave up on doing certain things and thinking certain thoughts, could they still be considered complete? So troublesome—Yi Sheji, a high school student who sighed all day, had spent sixteen years in peace. Although he had no envy for others and no energy at all, he still burned with the so-called passion of youth without realizing it.
The small coastal city in the south of the mainland, Yansha, is still some time away from summer.
Tina, the receptionist of the Adventurers Association, was transferred to become the liaison officer of the honorary adventurer Liliana Einsteins because of her unsatisfactory performance.
And this mysterious honorary adventurer lady who came to Yansha City a year ago is said to live outside the city, in that gloomy old castle...

Sword Xia of the Shu Mountains《蜀山劍俠傳》by Huanzhu Louzhu 還珠樓主 (lit. Master of Returning Pearl Loft) was published between 1932 and 1948 and is one of the most influential wuxia novels of all time. Many of the elements in this novel became standard tropes of the wuxia genre. It is also the forefather of the modern xianxia cultivation novel. Huanzhu’s cultivation system became the standard, fusing the Daoist quest for transcendence with the Buddhist reincarnation cycle and tribulation system, as well as the Confucian virtue of humaneness 仁 and the chivalrous xia 俠 archetype. At over 4.1 million Chinese characters, it is also one of the longest wuxia novels, though it remains unfinished due to the civil war in China. So the first cultivation novel was also eunuched—rather fitting.
The story follows multiple protagonists as they gradually gather together, fighting heretical sects and spirit elementals on their way to founding the Mount Emei Sect. Most outstanding among these protagonists is Li Yingqiong, who begins the novel as a girl with no martial arts abilities, and through the course of the novel cultivates to become a transcendent (aka immortal).
In this novel, plants, animals, and monsters can all become human and cultivate to transcendence, or lose their primordial spirit (aka nascent soul) and have to start all over, or be obliterated completely after failing their tribulation. Grotto-heavens and magic treasures abound, and we see the beginning of sects as major organizations in wuxia novels with important roles in the plot, such as Emei, Qingcheng, Mount Hua, Wudang, Mount Huang, Snowy Mountain, Kongtong, Kunlun, and Wutai, as well as the emergence of what would later become the archetypal eccentric beggar character. There are miraculous drugs, sword kinesis, and battles between mythical beasts, and heretic cultivators trying to cheat their way to a faster transcendence. In short, pretty much all of the elements one normally sees in the typical xianxia cultivation webnovel.

"A wild girl from the streets suddenly becomes a living Yama? Su Qi merely saved a child rolling his eyes in a dilapidated temple, yet she uncovered a series of bloody cases—black blood seeped from the coffin of an old woman at the village entrance, sharp teeth grew on the clay statues in the local temple, and most horrifyingly, the blue spots on the child's neck were exactly the same as the wounds her wet nurse suffered before her death. Until half a page of the Qingnang Notes popped up in the system space: 'The day the Heart-Eating Gu revives will be the beginning of the end for medical cults.' When she used the spiritual energy of the medicinal veins to activate the thousand-year-old ginseng and used needles to nail the vengeful ghosts attached to the woman in labor into a sieve, the truth hidden beneath the tide of cults finally surfaced—those who besieged the Qingnang Sect a hundred years ago were not the Alliance of Cults, but traitors of the medical path controlled by the Heart-Eating Gu! Watch as the little female doctor, stepping over the corpses of cults, rises from a poor girl gathering herbs to become the healer of the world's medical alliance!"
Synopsis: [Single female lead + slow burn + upperclassman + youth campus life]
What's it like to have a senior who's aloof but incredibly kind to you?
"Senior, I like you, please be with me!"
"Junior, are you drunk?"
"Senior, I'm serious. You are a ray of light that warms me when I'm deep in the darkest corner."
"Junior, haven't you been a ray of light illuminating my path? That's why I want to be gentler with you."
"Senior, does that mean you've agreed?"
"We're already together, why are you still calling me 'senior'? Should we change how we address each other?"
A virtual reality game called "Whale Fall" becomes a global sensation. The protagonist, Su Zhou, drawn by its popularity, decides to enter the game. However, he and the other players soon discover a shocking truth: this is no mere game. The world of "Whale Fall" is a real, tangible, and often cruel place. The title itself is a metaphor, posing the question of whether this entire world is sustained by the sacrifice of a single, great entity, much like a whale's body nourishes an ecosystem after its death.
Now trapped in a genuine other world, the players, often referred to as the "Fourth Scourge," must confront this new reality. They are forced to fight for survival, grow stronger, and uncover the deep, buried truths behind the so-called game. The story explores their journey of facing this reality and deciding whether to accept their responsibility within it.
