Shiraishi Ze Hide looked at the girls outside the cat's eye and scratched his head

Opened the door of the apartment with a bright smile

"Welcome home."

Traveling to Dongfang Bubai, he also awakens a villainous big boss system.

In memory, there are immortals in this world?

Okay then!

Wait until I practice sunflowers first. . . . .

The real ultimate villain boss is: as long as you dare to appear in this world, heaven and earth will change color for you, all things will bend down for you, and all living beings will fight for you!

Practice the most evil sorcery and control the most ferocious ghosts.

Li Zhen, who was terminally ill, admittedly entered the world of the heavens. He originally just wanted to linger and live a few more years, but when he looked back in a Daze, he found that he had already become the most terrorist taboo in the heavens and the world.

The Reticent Blade is, first and foremost, a wuxia novel, meaning that the world and its character’s powers and abilities are more grounded. Instead of cultivators who can soar through the heavens and shatter planets, you will find martial artists who can still perform superhuman feats but not so fantastical as to tear through space or achieve immortality.

The world of The Reticent Blade is one of medieval China, loosely based upon the time period of the Ming Dynasty. It is a time of chaos and strife, where war and death are rampant. We follow the intertwining story of several protagonists and antagonists as they navigate the chaotic times, unraveling the threads that connect the past, the present, and the future of the world.

The Reticent Blade is a story of heroism, love, revenge, and cruelty.

The Reticent Blade is a story of both the righteousness and vileness of the Jianghu.

Official Blurb:

Someone once asked me, "What is the jianghu?"

I thought for a moment, and what came to mind was…

A jug of unrefined wine on a weathered table,

A lone silhouette fading into the distance under the setting sun,

A nameless grave bathed in moonlight,

The smoldering incense in my grasp, its final wisps dissipating.

They then asked me, "Where is the jianghu?"

I smiled faintly and lifted my gaze beyond the window. Out there, beneath the vast heavens, countless jianghus lay.

A single soul carries his own story.

When two paths cross, a jianghu is born.

When Xue Tingxiang, a great traitor, returned to his youth, Xue’s family was still destitute. His family was beaten to death for a place to study. The woman was still her own child bride. In this life, he decided to change his way of life.

The first task was to treat her well, and then gave birth to a few more kids.

Zhao’er was a child bride of the Xue family. She knew that she would marry the little man and have s*x with him when he was old enough. However, the little man had always disliked her and hated her.

However, just overnight, the little man suddenly changed a lot, not only was kind to her, but also always kissed and hugged her, this, this…

#The way to raise wife for the treacherous First Grand Secretary#

Who raised who? How ashamed!

[Dragon clan, Digimon, dragon beast nemesis, you look like a dragon, no sword]

The soul travels through Lu Mingfei, starting with [Dragon Beast Nemesis]

Lu Mingfei hung the claw blade of [Dragon Beast Nemesis] above everyone's head: Line up and don't rush to come one by one. Let me make it clear first, those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be treated severely.

Lao Tang: Although I am the King of Bronze and Fire, I am actually a good dragon.

Xia Mi: Although I am the king of the earth and mountains, I am actually a good dragon.

Herzog: I... I'm not a dragon yet?

Lu Mingfei: Really? But why do you look like a dragon to me?

Traveling through the world of comprehensive martial arts, Xia An awakens the god-level corpse-touching system, as long as he touches the corpse, he can get various rewards!

I wanted to develop wretchedly, but I just became a six-door patrol, and I was ruthless at the beginning!

Ruthless: “The pervert will die!”

Xia An: “Obviously you rushed up by yourself, so can you go down to the ground now…”

With being involved in various disputes, Xia An’s strength is constantly increasing.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for touching Ye Gucheng’s body, gaining 20 years of internal strength, flying immortal sword moves from heaven and earth.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for touching Yang Dingtian’s corpse, gaining a hundred years of skill, and moving the universe.”

…

Many years later, Emperor Ming looked at Xia An with a wry smile.

“Wu Wang, why don’t you be the emperor?”

When his soul opened its eyes, Tomie was sitting on his lap, getting dressed! Takeru Sato, Chief of Psychiatric Surgery and Head of the Medical Department, wielded power within the psychiatric hospital comparable to that of the "Thunder King"! His family's influence was even more omnipotent in Tokyo! When he finally opened tape number III, it seemed as if everything had just begun. Painted skin, drought demons, Masakazu, Sadako, rifts, red clothes... Entering the new century, Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Takeru Sato sat in the Prime Minister's official residence, chatting and laughing before the live cameras of major media outlets: "Everyone, I'm talking now. When I leave, I'll be talking to you, but you won't understand me!" This book has also been titled "I'm a Little Hot in Tokyo," "A Psychiatrist Who Doesn't Want to Be Prime Minister Isn't a Good Doctor," "Is This What You Call a Weird Talk?", "Starting with Tomie," "I Call the Wind and Rain in the Psychiatric Hospital," etc.

In high school, Ling Chen was the most taciturn student in the class, always walking alone with lowered eyebrows and eyes.

The longest sentence Zhu Wenshu ever said to him was just a polite sentence at graduation, “I wish you a bright future, and I will keep in touch in the future.”

Later, Ling Chen really did have a bright future.

He was dubbed a monster rookie when he debuted, sweeping the major music charts, winning various music awards, and was followed by flowers and applause.

It was rumored that Ling Chen’s “Classmate Xiaocan” was written to his first love who had been engraved in his heart.

Friends knew that Zhu Wenshu and Ling Chen were classmates in high school, so they came to gossip: Do you know who his first love was?

Zhu Wenshan shook her head: I don’t know. It might not be from our school.

One day, the class that had been silent for a long time suddenly became active, discussing the hacking of the famous star classmate Ling Chen.

An old classmate privately approached Zhu Wenshu to complain: Thanks to the account hacker, I just found out that my remark in Ling Chen’s Q|Q was “the sixth in the fifth row.” What about you?

Zhu Wenshu laughed out loud, and couldn’t help opening Q|Q, which hadn’t been touched for a long time, and sure enough, she also received the same message.

A poor mountain girl, Lu Fufu, transmigrates into a book. Her mission? To transform the story’s villainous tyrant into a wise and benevolent ruler.

Mu Linchuan is a true tyrant: narrow-minded, gloomy, petty, and ruthless.

After rebel forces seize the capital, he loses the use of his legs. It’s Lu Fufu—living in the Cold Palace—who carries him out from a pile of corpses.

The once-glorious young emperor falls from grace overnight. From a noble ruler, he becomes nothing more than a half-man with the stature of a child, someone everyone mocks and humiliates.

But when he sees the plain little girl stumbling around trying to get him medical help, the boy falls silent.

He is pessimistic, cynical, and weary of life—but for Lu Fufu, he’s willing to change. Bit by bit, he claws his way back to the capital.

To win for her. To protect her safety.

In later years, the Emperor of Dayong, Emperor Li of Yong, Mu Linchuan, would become a legend. As a youth, he was a tyrant beyond redemption.

After the fall of the capital and the loss of his legs, he was overthrown. But it took him ten whole years to fight his way back.

When he returned, he ruled with wisdom and compassion: quelling northern tribes, opening sea routes, cutting taxes, building canals. He became a celebrated monarch remembered for generations.

This era of his later reign came to be known in history as the "Yuanshuo Era of Governance."

And the reason for all this change, people say, was an unremarkable girl by his side.

That girl would later become Empress Yichun, once a forgotten consort cast into the Cold Palace.

But on the very day she was to be crowned empress, the beloved Yichun Empress tragically passed away. From then on, the deeply devoted young couple were separated by life and death.

The entire court watched as the heartbroken young emperor canceled morning court for days, absent-minded and grieving. He gave Empress Yichun the highest honors in burial: tiger-emblazoned banners, phoenix carriages, imperial parasols, and a place in the ancestral temples—an extravagant tribute of mourning.

As for Lu Fufu, she had a little secret she never told Mu Linchuan:

She had always planned to fake her death and disappear.
