Kirby And Gooey

When the quaint fishing village of Luwei Cun is struck by a terrible drought, it seems there is no choice but to turn to the gods. However, will the sacrifice of the mute woman that they have always mocked be enough to liberate them of their blight? Sent as a sacrificial bride in order to earn the Water God Shui Long’s favor. Jing Li is torn from her home and thrust immediately into the realm of the gods, where she comes face to face with the cold and temperamental Shui Long. Known for the cruelty of his bloodline, will Jing Li’s kindness and quiet determination be enough to earn his love? Or will deadly schemes and the mystery of her own lineage be too much for Jing Li to overcome without even speak a single word?

The story unfolds in **Qinghe Village**, a remote mountain settlement in modern-day southwestern China. Nestled among verdant peaks, this tight-knit community with unspoiled customs grapples with crumbling infrastructure, barren lands, and a dire lack of medical resources. Protagonist **Xu Ling**, orphaned in childhood and raised collectively by villagers, returns after graduating from an urban medical college, disillusioned by systemic corruption in city hospitals. His life pivots when a centuries-old ancestral tablet strikes his head during a housecleaning ritual, awakening his family’s lost legacy: the **《Shennong Medical Codex》**, a sacred text of ancient healing wisdom. **Opening (Prologue): On a sweltering summer night, Xu Ling is summoned by his widowed neighbor **Liu Shuxiang** under the pretext of treating her "chest discomfort." During the charged consultation, Liu reveals her plight: local tyrant **Ma Erwang** threatens to seize her land unless she pays extortionate "protection fees." Though morally outraged, Xu Ling’s rudimentary medical skills and social insignificance leave him powerless. The next day, Ma’s thugs demolish Liu’s vegetable plot. Xu’s attempt to intervene ends in a near-fatal beating. At death’s door, hieroglyphic passages from the *Shennong Medical Codex* materialize in his mind. Guided by instinct, he revives himself through emergency acupuncture, formally inheriting the Divine Physician’s mantle. **Core Conflicts: 1. **External Struggles: - **Tyranny & Exploitation**: Ma Erwang, backed by corrupt officials like Town Chief Lu Wanli, monopolizes village resources through violence, land grabs, and collusion with pharmaceutical polluters. - **Healthcare Crisis**: Villagers’ reliance on superstitious remedies and financial barriers to urban hospitals trap them in cycles of preventable suffering. Xu Ling must revitalize traditional medicine to combat systemic inequities. 2. **Internal Turmoil: - **Legacy vs. Desire**: Xu Ling navigates tensions between healing duties and personal aspirations, particularly in romantic entanglements with village belle **Fang Wenwen** and idealistic teacher **Qin Suyue**, who challenge his commitment to rural life. - **Ethical Ambiguities**: The *Shennong Codex*’s forbidden techniques—poison antidotes, geomancy rituals—force him to tread murky moral terrain. **Resolution: Rejecting lucrative urban hospital offers, Xu Ling establishes a grassroots TCM clinic and pioneers a "healing agriculture" model, empowering villagers through medicinal crop cultivation. His union with Fang Wenwen symbolizes their shared guardianship of the land. In the denouement, as he re-consecrates the ancestral tablet, Xu muses: *"A healer mends bodies, not worlds—yet how can one save lives without first defending the soil that nurtures them?" --- **Pivotal Scenes: - **Threshold Moment**: Xu’s flustered focus during Liu’s treatment—a mix of sweat and jasmine perfume—humanizes his saintly persona. - **Ancestral Awakening**: Near-death visions reveal lineage heroes—a Qing-era forebear curing malaria with arsenic, a WWII ancestor saving soldiers with battlefield herbs. - **Ecological Triumph**: Villagers digging emergency channels during torrential downpours to divert toxic effluents, then purging rivers with a *"Hundred Herbs Elixir"*—echoing Liu’s husband’s flood-related demise.

The story unfolds in the **Great Shang Dynasty**, a fictional ancient Chinese empire rife with courtly conspiracies, warlord rivalries, and foreign threats. The dynasty was weakened by internal power struggles among princes and external pressures from neighboring nations like **Chu** and **the Turks. The protagonist, **Ye Ling**, a modern-day survivalist and influencer, dies during an expedition and reincarnates as the **Sixth Prince** of Shang—a notorious wastrel despised for his debauchery and political incompetence. However, his new identity holds a hidden advantage: he is the **sole legitimate heir** of the deceased empress, positioning him as a reluctant contender for the throne. --- ### **Opening Scene** **Time:** Early morning, fog-laden. **Key Event** Ye Ling awakens in a lavish palace bedchamber, disoriented by his transmigration. His confusion turns to panic when he discovers **Fu Yuanyuan**, the **First Prince’s betrothed** and the dynasty’s renowned scholar, lying beside him. The scandalous situation—engineered by political enemies—threatens to destroy both their reputations. Fu Yuanyuan, torn between fury and shame, becomes an unwilling ally as Ye Ling navigates the fallout, using his wit to deflect accusations and turn the tables against his foes. --- ### **Major Plot Points & Conflicts** #### **1. Power Struggles in the Imperial Court** - **Internal Conflict:** Ye Ling faces hostility from his half-brothers, particularly the **First Prince**, who views him as a threat to the throne. The court is divided between loyalists to the deceased empress and factions backing other princes. - **Key Scene:** At a state banquet, Ye Ling humiliates the **Chu Kingdom’s envoys** by solving an impossible riddle, saving Shang from ceding strategic territory. His victory earns Emperor Shang’s cautious approval but deepens his rivalry with the First Prince. #### **2. Modern Knowledge vs. Ancient Challenges** - **Technological Innovation:** Ye Ling leverages his survival skills and scientific knowledge to revolutionize Shang’s military. For example, he designs the **Mòdāo (陌刀)**, a legendary long-bladed weapon capable of decimating cavalry, and introduces **blast-furnace steelmaking** to arm the dynasty. - **Climactic Battle:** During a border clash with the Turks, Ye Ling’s modern tactics and weapons—including early gunpowder devices—secure a decisive victory, solidifying his reputation as a military genius. #### **4. The Climax: Rebellion and Redemption** - **Betrayal & Siege:** The First Prince allies with corrupt ministers and the Turks to stage a coup. Ye Ling, exiled to a frontier province, rallies marginalized factions—disgraced generals, peasant militias, and foreign allies—to reclaim the capital. - **Final Showdown:** In a brutal siege, Ye Ling’s **Liao Yuan Crossbow** and psychological warfare dismantle the First Prince’s forces. The emperor, recognizing Ye Ling’s prowess, names him crown prince but warns of the loneliness of power. --- ### **Ending** Ye Ling ascends the throne, marrying Fu Yuanyuan and Zhao Ling’er in a politically charged union. He reforms the bureaucracy, abolishes hereditary privileges, and launches naval expeditions to expand Shang’s influence, including a campaign against **pirates from the Eastern Isles (Japan)**. However, the story closes on a bittersweet note: Ye Ling’s modern morals clash with the ruthlessness required to rule, leaving him to ponder the cost of his ambition.

**Chronotopic Framework** The narrative inhabits a Sinocentric parallel universe where ancient cosmology permeates hypermodernity. Temporal strata include: - **2005**: The Gu clan immolation in Jiangnan’s lotus marshes—108 kin consumed by *Nirvanic Fire* bearing the Celestial Court’s sigils. - **2025**: Gu Chen’s descent from Kunlun’s glacial ziggurats, bearing twin legacies—the *Golden Meridian* pulse diagnosis and *Bagua* death touch refined over two decades. - **Warring States Era Echoes**: Spectral visions of the *Qilin’s martyrdom during the casting of the *Xuanyuan Blade* in molten stardust. Spatial axes oscillate between Kunlun’s *Nine Dragons Altar—where the *Shennong Crucible* brews primordial chaos—and Shanghai’s vertiginous skyscrapers, where boardroom mergers veil blood oaths. The apotheosis unfolds during a *Crimson Hyacinth Eclipse* where celestial mechanics and human will collide. --- #### **Protagonist & Existential Paradox** **Gu Chen**, last scion of the eradicated *Golden Pulse* lineage, embodies the healer-warrior antinomy: *a saint who must become deicide*. His vendetta against the Celestial usurpers unravels as he discovers his quintuple betrothals are geomancy rituals to siphon China’s *Dragon Vein Qi* into the Kunlun Abyss. The **cardinal conflict** bifurcates: 1. **Ontological**: His Hippocratic oath clashes with the *Qilin Scar*’s wrath—a living tattoo that erupts in fractal flames during berserker states. 2. **Cosmological**: Destroying the celestial hierarchy risks unstitching the *Three Realms’* Taiji membrane, unleashing primordial *Hundun* chaos. --- #### **Narrative Architecture** **1. Inciting Catalyst** Gu’s descent with a moth-eaten marriage scroll binding five aristocrats: - **Ye Qingxue (Metal)**: Cryogenic pharmaceutical magnate whose spinal *Bagua scars* resonate with Gu massacre coordinates. Her monthly *Golden Needle* detox sessions leak memories of the Celestial pyromancers. - **Lin Jiuge (Water)**: Silver-screen siren clutching a jade *bi-disc—plundered from Gu’s mother’s rigor mortis grip—containing microfilm exposing *Project Black Tortoise*’s transgenic plagues. **2. Ascending Peripeteia** **Su Hongxui (Wood)**, the whip-wielding martial matriarch, drags Gu into her clan’s armory to decipher a stela: *“When Phoenix Quintessence ignites the Qilin’s Crucible, Heaven’s Mandate shatters.”* This catalyzes tripartite trials: - **Corporate Geomancy**: Ye’s hostile takeover unleashes *Feng Shui* miasmas in Lujiazui’s stock exchange, turning bankers into *Qi*-vampiric husks. - **Cinematic Necromancy**: Lin’s film set becomes a *Jiangshi* hive; Gu deploys *Flying Silver Needles* to sever corpse-demons’ *Du Mai* energy channels. **3. Cataclysmic Crescendo** The fifth fiancée, **Dantai Mingyue (Fire),** unveils her role as a celestial sleeper cell during Hong Kong’s harbor conflagration. Amidst exploding LNG tankers, she hisses, “Your blood isn’t a key—it’s the enzyme for their theogony!” * The denouement at Kunlun’s zenith during the *Nine Luminaries Conjunction: - **Ethical Abyss**: Ye self-injects a *Huangdi*-strain retrovirus, demanding Gu annihilate four fiancées for the antidote. - **Cosmogonic Duel**: Gu simultaneously channels the *Shennong Crucible* to filter tainted *Qi* while parrying Dantai’s *Xingtian* mech-suit with the *Xuanyuan Blade*’s spacetime-slashing edge. **4. Ambiguous Resolution** The epilogue reveals Gu severing the Celestial *Qi* umbilical at the cost of his Qilin essence. Three cosmic riddles endure: - The absent *Purple Pivot Star* in the betrothal astrolabe hints at a sixth fiancée—Gu’s supposedly stillborn twin. - Dantai’s quantum-entangled AI core (exposed via retinal glitches) probes whether synthetic consciousness can house *human* souls. - A post-credits hologram shows Lin decrypting footage of Gu’s father preserved in a *Project Kunlun 002* cryopod guarded by terracotta androids.

When teen Beniamin wakes up trapped in Magic & Stuff—a clichéd, poorly written manhwa he once mocked—he’s forced to rewrite its garbage plot. The original protagonist, Kael, is destined to become a tyrannical overlord, and Beni is forced to stop him, enjoying the process. But enrolling in the elite academy that shapes Kael’s rise costs a fortune, and Beni’s stats are laughably weak. Armed with a glitchy system that threatens death for failure, he hustles through a world of monster hunts and noble snobbery, exploiting every plot hole and loophole to survive. *Can a broke, underpowered nobody outsmart a broken story—or will he become its next casualty?*

In the ruthless world of Jianghu, where power is measured by the strength of one’s blade, Ye Xian—a master of poisons and a top assassin for the Hidden Order—receives her latest mission: eliminate Shen Liwei, the righteous yet formidable leader of the Azure Wind Sect. Her plan is flawless. Her poison is undetectable. Her strike is lethal. Yet, when the toxin fails to take effect, Ye Xian is forced to confront a chilling truth—Shen Liwei is immune to all poisons but one: the very first poison she ever created. To finish her mission, she must infiltrate his sect, uncover his secret, and strike when he least expects it. But as she gets closer, she discovers that Shen Liwei is not just a target—he is a man entangled in the same deadly web as she is. Behind his righteous reputation lie imperial experiments, hidden betrayals, and a conspiracy that reaches far beyond any one sect. As assassins close in, enemies shift, and the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur, Ye Xian faces the one truth she cannot poison her way out of—the mission was never as simple as killing Shen Liwei. A calculated assassin vs. an unbreakable warrior—a deadly game of deception and skill. Martial duels, hidden blades, and power struggles—where alliances are as fragile as life itself. A world ruled by strength, ambition, and shadows—where survival is the only law. In Jianghu, trust is a weakness, love is a liability, and the only certainty is that someone must die.

I've never wanted this life for myself—this life filled with perils and evil. It's like a dream I can never escape from—a dream which I'm forever stuck in. Heh, no one ever wanted this life or ever wished for it. You'd be either insane or extremely evil to wish for this kind of life—the life where you don't have a choice over anything—the life where you're bound by your deepest desires. I never wanted to enter into the supernatural world. I never wanted to come across the Crimsones[1], Lycanthropes[2], demons and the rest. I never wanted to be involved in anything pertaining to the dark and supernatural world. I had always yearned for freedom and not servitude. But of course I was wrong all along. I had been delusional, thinking I'd be able to escape it all—to escape from fate. I never knew I would be pulled into this mess, becoming one of those dark creatures which roam about in the ungodly night. I never wanted to be a merciless predator who was also a prey to another predator (what a food chain!). But all is good. No matter what I shall not alli myself to degenerate into a heartless monster who only knew how to tear flesh, spill blood and break bones. I cannot allow my desires to pull me down. I cannot be corrupted by the abyss! My name is Daniel Stark and what I'm about to tell you is a real life horror. I don't know what you call horror or romance or fantasy but this story I'm about to tell you, you need to listen attentively and not miss a bit of information. This is my story—one beginning with pain.
