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.

As a posthumous child, Gongsun Xun received his life's guiding principles from his mother, who claimed to be a time traveler, at a very young age. However, as he drifted along with the tides of history year after year, he began to realize that something was gradually going wrong!

This is the story of a semi-native man struggling in a great era!

This is a world surrounded by dangers, with imperial oppression within and alien threats outside.

"Killing dangerous species will make you stronger? Gaining all kinds of skills? Isn't this going to take off in the future?"

"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!"

Ding Xianli, a professional naive and innocent transmigrator, was accidentally swept into a game world. Completely lost and bewildered, she could only accept her fate and methodically try to win over her male lead with sweet words. However, no one told her that every good man's male lead sheds his shell like a snake every month? Every time she watched him wielding a shovel in his backyard, burying his shell, he would happily climb into her bed with his smooth, new shell, murmuring obsessively, "Baby, do you like me even more today?" "..." She didn't quite know how to comment on his antics! What did he mean? Dating him wasn't like peeling lobster shells; did he expect her to try them all? Actually, it wasn't impossible. After all, she had already gone this far in winning him over; it wouldn't be right not to suck him dry, would it? ... Later. "Dare to run away, and I'll break your legs." Ding Xianli laughed. She understood; he wanted to keep her as a caged bird. This was nothing; she'd satisfy his needs anytime. Players: "..." So, we're just part of your couple's erotic play?

[Multiple Female Leads][No System] "Oppa, I brought you breakfast I made myself, open the door quickly~" Inside the door, Liu Yu looked at the national female idol still asleep beside him and fell into deep thought. Since things have come to this, let's eat first?

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.

They are forced to fight for survival, grow stronger, and uncover the deep, buried truths behind the so-called game.
