Zenobia Gobstones Courtyard

Nascent Soul True Monarch failed in his celestial tribulation and returned to his student days. 2013, when the mobile internet was just emerging, amidst the surging tides of the era, a cultivator's daily life.

She, the top goddess in the showbiz, officially announced her marriage, with her husband's identity remaining a mystery. One day, a news story went viral claiming that she was seen entering a villa with a strange man in the midnight and didn't leave until morning. Someone recognized the man as a financial tycoon, who is mysterious and low-key, and no one dares to offend him. That day, she clarified the rumors during a live broadcast, "It's all rumors. Please don't misunderstand. We are just friends." Just then, he himself stepped up and said, "That's right. We're just friends for now." ... Everyone knew that their marriage was just a commercial arrangement devoid of any real emotion; otherwise, he wouldn't have left his wife to go abroad for two years right after their wedding. Just when everyone was waiting for their divorce, a secretly shot video suddenly went viral online. In the courtyard, the man who was always casual, proud, and superior, knelt on one knee in a pious posture, massaging the woman's ankle. His low and sexy voice captivated everyone watching the video as he said, "Sweetie, would you like to remarry me?" Damn! It's so sweet!

Amid the softly falling snow in the Cold Palace courtyard, Princess Xianlan drew her final breath—silently. She had been falsely accused of poisoning the Crown Prince, brutally flogged until her body was torn, and imprisoned without a shred of mercy— all part of a cruel scheme orchestrated by Noble Consort Su Zhen, her stepmother, whose gentle appearance masked a heart of poison. Meanwhile, the Emperor of Li—the very man who claimed to love her above all—never realized that the only daughter he cherished had been crushed to death by the hands of the one he trusted most. But the heavens showed mercy. Xianlan opened her eyes once more, reborn into her eight-year-old self— in the time before everything shattered. This time… she would not be a worthless pawn in a game of power. She would become the master strategist, toppling each of her enemies one by one. With icy composure and razor-sharp wit, Xianlan hid in the shadows, slowly gathering evidence, allies, and influence within the palace. And fate brought her an unexpected ally— Feng Yuhan, Crown Prince of the Southern Yan Kingdom, known as the “Winter Tiger.” Cold, brilliant, and seemingly heartless—yet from their first meeting, something in her eyes held his gaze. Together, they moved in the darkness. Xianlan laid the plans. Feng Yuhan executed them. As the Kingdom of Li fell into the depths of political games— As vipers hissed behind silken smiles in the inner palace— As even a father’s love could be twisted by deceit— ⸻ When the phoenix returns to her nest—she will never again let anyone trample her. The will of the heavens may be written in ink… But Xianlan will rewrite fate in the blood of her enemies.

Set in early 1990s Lyon, Ripples of the Rhône follows Lydia Shaw, an 18-year-old orphan racing to her Baccalauréat finals when she witnesses a stroller plunging into the churning Rhône River. Her split-second decision to rescue the drowning mother and child costs precious exam time – until a documentary crew captures the act, convincing strict Professor Laurent to admit her moments before deadline. The heroic deed earns Lydia a spot on Riverside Stories, Lyon’s beloved TV series, where she earns her first paycheck and collides with Gavin Sterling – the artistic rebel she’s secretly sketched in her notebooks for years. Their summer blossoms amid Lyon’s traboule courtyards: Gavin teaching her to trace Renaissance frescoes, Lydia grounding his restless spirit. But when both win scholarships to Sorbonne University, Gavin vanishes overnight with only a tainted farewell: "Family obligations require my absence. Do not wait." Five years later, Lydia’s drowning in medical debts from her grandmother’s illness. Desperate, she agrees to Jonathan Chase’s contract marriage proposal: two years of staged matrimony in exchange for covered hospice care. As she signs the papers in his penthouse office, the elevator opens to reveal Gavin – now a razor-sharp executive in Tom Ford silk, scanning her thrift-store dress like a forgotten museum piece. When Jonathan’s pen touches the contract, Gavin slams his palm on the document, eyes blazing: "A marriage of convenience? Darling, I’m the only candidate qualified to ruin you properly.

One moment, Jia Lan was a modern city girl with perfect skin, soft hands, and zero survival skills. The next? She’s in the 1970s—inside a novel—as the youngest daughter of a powerful and wealthy urban family. She’s not the heroine. In fact, the hardworking female lead and righteous male lead are out there suffering through life, trying to "earn" a future in the city. Jia Lan? She just woke up in silk pajamas, got pampered by her entire family, and activated a daily check-in system that hands her perks for simply… showing up. Visit the kitchen? Gain cooking skills. Lounge in the courtyard? Glowing skin. Exist gracefully? Congratulations, you’ve leveled up again. While others chase opportunities and eat bitterness, Jia Lan is over here sipping tea, casually unlocking cheat codes, and getting praised for walking downstairs. Spoiled? Yes. Vulgar? Never. Plot-hungry? Absolutely not. She’s not here to steal anyone’s story. She’s just here to live her best life—gracefully, beautifully, and with a faint scent of jasmine. Too bad everyone else can’t stop staring.

As she grapples with the Gardener’s cryptic influence and her own insecurities, Rossie realizes she must confront her fears to pursue her feelings for Michael.

A cdrama romcom where a young girl is a glittering prize trying her hardest not to be won. [#teen #lovequadrangle #historicalromance #romcom #chinesedrama #sweetromance] EXTRACT: Meili slipped out of her robe and sat on a ledge in the warm pool. Her long black hair cascaded down her back, tiny silver bells tinkled as she moved. It felt wonderful to be free of her chest binding. It was starting to get quite painful. She didn't dare stop wearing it in case it encouraged her already disconcertingly large breasts to keep expanding. It was onto this scene that the Commander, the Prince and the poet happened, as they soundlessly raised their heads above the peaked roofline. For a full minute not one of them moved or breathed. Her long hair covered her generous curves, allowing tantalising glimpses. She reached behind her neck to push back her hair. Commander Bai, realising what was about to happen, clamped each of his hands firmly over the eyes of the Prince and Tan Bowen. A fight broke out on the ridge-line as the men clawed and scratched in a panicked attempt to see what came next. Meili looked up in fright, just as the commander forcefully pushed his two friends, sliding them down the steep rooftop. For just a split second, the eyes of Commander Bai and Meili met.

In a world where ancient Zambian witchcraft (Juju) clashes with modern society, a seemingly ordinary law student, Demetrius, discovers extraordinary abilities and is thrust into a covert war against a military coup orchestrated by a powerful, Juju-wielding captain, forcing him to confront a hidden reality and his own destiny. The story opens in 1959 Zambia, where Mr. Chola and Musonda, UNIP cadres, use ancient Luapulan Juju (Nyakazi dolls and Kapuyi) to orchestrate a mysterious attack on British settlers at the Samfya Waterfront Hotel, resulting in 53 deaths and the disappearance of Mr. Chola, leaving behind a single Nyakazi doll and a confiscated bird charm that becomes folklore.Fast forward to present-day Lusaka, 2024. The confiscated bird charm is now an exhibit at the Lusaka National Museum. The narrative then introduces Michelle and Serah, two drunk girls, who unknowingly walk past the ZNBC building just as a military ambulance, led by Captain Benzu Hamudula, stages a violent coup. The guards are incapacitated by severed chicken heads, leading to their bizarre, suicidal charge into a fence. Benzu Hamudula, a bald, authoritative figure, takes control of key national institutions and issues an ultimatum to President Harambe Harambe: resign in ten minutes or face consequences. The nation watches in fear as a countdown begins.One month prior, in Kafue Town, Demetrius, a disciplined law student with a rigorous workout routine, unknowingly displays superhuman speed when he saves a child from a careening minibus after a rat-induced explosion at a gas station. This event hints at his latent abilities. Meanwhile, at the University of Lusaka, Leopards Hill Campus, Demetrius witnesses a soldier, Second Lieutenant Boneface Daka, brutally assault and kill the dean using Juju, causing a strange fog to envelop the area. Demetrius, unable to stand by, leaps from a two-story building into the fog, confronting Boneface. Their fight reveals Boneface's own Juju-enhanced abilities and a shared past connected to the Ndembo fighting style.The narrative then delves into the origins of Juju, explaining its history, different forms (offensive, defensive, communicative), and the five Ndembo fighting styles (Misisi, Chibolya, Ng’ombe, Makululu, Soweto), each granting unique powers. It also introduces the concepts ofPeak Humans and Muzis (ancestor spirits). Demetrius learns that he might be a Peak Human, while Dante, a fellow student, is a Muzi from Soweto, capable of shadow manipulation and teleportation. Mandamus, another student, is also revealed to be a Peak Human.As the coup unfolds, the characters find themselves in increasingly dangerous situations. The East Park Mall becomes a scene of mass hysteria and violence as soldiers unleash crow heads, driving people into a murderous frenzy. President Harambe struggles to respond, his military paralyzed by Juju. Eddboy and Mosh, two other students with enhanced abilities, fight for survival at the University of Zambia.Back at the University of Lusaka, Demetrius, Dante, and Mandamus, along with Anne, Taonga, and Natasha, prepare for battle. Watson, a wielder of Chibolya Ndembo, joins them, demonstrating his healing abilities. The final confrontation begins in the courtyard, with Demetrius facing Boneface, and Dante engaging Bill Tendai, another powerful Juju user. The story culminates in intense battles, revealing the true extent of their powers and the devastating impact of the Juju-fueled coup.

The drums of war thundered across the plains of the Wan Shui Empire. At the forefront stood a lone figure draped in silver armor, his crimson cloak dancing with the wind. His gaze, sharp as a dragon’s claw, swept across the battlefield. His name was Huan Bai — the War Demon, the youngest divine general in the empire’s history. At fifteen, he had silenced rebel cities. At twenty-two, he led men against beasts that tore mountains apart. At twenty-seven, he ascended to the rank of Divine General, one of only three in the entire empire. His name was etched in legends, sung by poets and feared by kings. But even war gods have hearts. In a rare moment of peace, the general crossed paths with Wu Hua, the flower of the Xiantian Sect. Graceful, serene, and unshaken even by his terrifying presence. Love, unexpected and fierce, bloomed like wildfire. They married in the spring, where cherry blossoms rained like snow. On his thirty-second birthday, the war demon smiled brighter than ever before. His son, Li Bai, was born under a sky filled with stars, as if the heavens themselves bowed in blessing. But fate, as always, was cruel. In the same year, during a border negotiation with the Tiansha Empire, General Huan Bai was betrayed and captured. His soldiers returned without him. His armor, broken. His spear, snapped. His fate — unknown. And as if destiny wasn’t yet done, Wu Hua vanished days later. No body, no trace. Only silence. The empire grieved its war god. But not all shared in the sorrow. Young Li Bai, now the son of a "fallen hero" and a "runaway woman," grew under the weight of whispers and cruel laughter. “A cursed child,” they called him. “The disgrace of a vanished bloodline.” But in the stillness of rejection, something stirred. On the eve of his seventh birthday, when the cold moon was high and dreams were thin, Li Bai sat alone in the courtyard of the orphaned manor. No one celebrated. No one remembered. And then — boom. A sudden pulse. The earth trembled. The stars above flickered strangely, as if acknowledging a forgotten truth. From within Li Bai’s core, a spiraling path of light and darkness emerged. It did not follow the known elements. It was not fire, not wind, not sword, not beast. It was something much more mysterious..... Unseen by all, the world had changed. The spirit child had awakened.

In the hospital, Fang Ya lay on the cold bed. As she did not have the money for surgery, she could only watch as her life slowly faded away. On her deathbed, looking back on her life, she relived all of her regrets. What she regretted the most was that she had chosen to leave her marriage with nothing and refused all the assets given to her by her nouveau riche ex-husband. Darkness enveloped her. When she woke again, she found herself reborn. She was reborn in the year when her nouveau riche ex-husband abandoned her and making ends meet with their daughter. She could not believe it. She had once prayed to God, and God seemed to have answered her prayers—He gave her a second chance! This time, she did not reject the property distribution from her nouveau riche ex-husband. She took the nine-digit sum of money as well as a set of courtyard houses in the capital city. In this life, she would give her daughter a luxurious life. They would no longer be homeless and destitute. She would no longer have to give up her life because she had no money. Not long after the divorce, she met He Feng coincidentally. At this time, He Feng had just returned from the European battlefield. He returned home with dazzling military achievements, only to receive a divorce agreement from his wife. In the few years that he was on the battlefield, his wife had already fallen in love with someone else, and that person was rather rich too. He Feng brought his child to the city where Fang Ya was working and took up a position in the Public Security Department. Someone introduced him to Fang Ya and wanted to matchmake them. Fang Ya, who was reborn, knew He Feng's entire life experience. In a few decades, he would be a five-star admiral with immense power and battle achievements. Moreover, after the divorce, he never remarried. It was said that he was hurt by love. His loyalty would not allow him to trust any other woman. During the blind date, the tall and stern man appeared to be a little taciturn. Fang Ya knew that He Feng only planned to remarry because of his child. He did not want his child to follow him everywhere on his military travels. Once he settled down, he probably would not even consider marriage anymore. Without much hesitation, Fang Ya agreed. He Feng was a good man and was worth marrying. Female protagonist: Reincarnated in her later years and experienced all the vicissitudes of life.

Gu Huai'an, a young scion of the No. 01 Courtyard Manor, had become the chief commander at Dragon Aviation Command Center at a very young age. He was known for his cold demeanor and seldom smiled or laughed. Not only did he come from a distinguished family, but he was also the unattainable gem of Beidu No. 01 Courtyard Mansion. Suddenly one day, he heard someone calling him "little brother." When he followed the voice, a pretty girl with an indifferent face asked, "Excuse me, sir, do I know you?" Yet at the same time: 【Wow, little brother is so handsome.】 【There are mountains beyond mountains, buildings beyond buildings, but little brother is handsome and gentle.】 【Little brother, hug!】 Gu Huai'an: …… The little girl's mouth, deceptive as a ghost's. ********* Song Yunuan transmigrated into a period novel and became a minor villainess who was soon eliminated – a role too small to be smaller.

The grand doors of Edelweiss Swordschool creaked open, revealing a vast courtyard surrounded by towering spires and the impressive silhouette of the castle. Lein stood at the entrance, his eyes wide with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. He adjusted the cloak around him, feeling the warmth of the earring given to him by his father's old swordmaster. As he stepped forward, a hand clapped down on his shoulder, causing him to turn. A fellow student, a girl of his age with fiery red hair and a mischievous glint in her eyes, grinned at him. "Hey there, new kid! You must be Lein, right?" she said with a playful tone. Lein gave a nod, managing a small smile. "Yes, that's me. Lein von Hrunting." "I'm Elara. Welcome to Edelweiss!" She gestured to the sprawling campus. "Come on, I'll show you around and help you get settled." As they strolled through the courtyard, Elara pointed out the training grounds, the library, and the various towers where students attended classes. Lein couldn't help but marvel at the sheer scale of the school. "So, why did you come here?" Elara asked, glancing at him. Lein hesitated for a moment before replying, "My father believes I might have a talent for being a Spellblade, like him. He arranged for me to study here." "Ah, a Spellblade! That's impressive. You'll be training with the best of the best," she said with a grin. "That being said, you'll be expected to beat them if that is truly your goal." They reached the entrance of the castle, and Elara opened the door for Lein. The interior was just as imposing as the exterior, with polished marble floors and towering pillars. As they walked through the corridors, Lein couldn't shake the feeling that all eyes were on him. Elara led him to a room with a wooden door bearing the emblem of Edelweiss. "This is your room," she announced, pushing the door open. Inside, Lein found a neatly arranged space with a comfortable bed, a small desk, and a window that offered a view of the surrounding mountains. His luggage was already placed by the bed. "Your stuff arrived earlier. We've got a few hours before the welcoming ceremony, so take your time settling in. If you need anything, I'll be around." Elara said, giving him a friendly wave before heading out. Alone in his new room, Lein took a deep breath. This was the beginning of a new chapter in his life. As he unpacked his belongings, he couldn't help but wonder what challenges and adventures awaited him at Edelweiss Swordschool. Little did he know, the journey ahead would test not only his skills but also the mysterious power that lay dormant within him. The cloak of anonymity provided by the earring would prove to be both a blessing and a curse in the days to come.

In a world where one's eyes and mask are signs of identity, first impressions make an impact. For Zenobia, she's not considered all that safe to be around for her personal choices. People don't like her, and she doesn't like them right back, but still it can be lonely. With her dad gone, her mother being overly strict and her little sister innocent to the world it's hard to be honest, let alone express herself properly. When she meets a random boy getting bullied, there's a chance for change, for opportunity. It's just a matter of perspective, especially when the world one knows isn't what it seems.

Forget Me Not A modern myth made in memory, longing, and love that refuses to die quietly. Somewhere between dusk and dawn, where time folds and the sky forgets its color, a boy once made of starlight stood beneath Earth's atmosphere and forgot why he ever feared the rain. Roses bloomed without sunlight. Wishes were folded into pillowcases. And Eros watched. He always watched. Two figures strolled through the courtyard below, fingers brushing, not quite ready to hold. They didn't notice the god above them. They never did. But he saw it all-every stolen glance, every unsent message, every soft pause before saying "good night." Earth was a mess of carefree laughter and unanswered questions. Of motel rooms, café dates, and awkward silences over half-drunk wine. But it was also where love bloomed up quietly in broken places, like a seed beneath winter soil. Maybe that's why he stayed. Not to fix anyone. Not to play god. But to understand why, even after it all-humans still believed in falling. And sometimes, when the night was especially quiet, he forgot he had wings. Especially when she walked by- Her green, weary eyes and a voice like a fading memory, as if, somewhere, once, she had known how to break his heart with treachery. This is not a romcom.

Yan Ruo had it all. From a devoted, loving husband to a precious daughter who was her world, to being the cherished daughter of a mighty general and a divine healer who cured plagues that could have halved the empire’s population in an instant. She was everything anyone envied—and Li Zhenyu loved her more than life itself. Once a lowly servant in her household, he had grown up beside her—quiet, loyal, always a few steps behind with eyes full of love for her. But in a world where servants were forbidden from loving their masters, Yan Ruo never once looked his way. Instead, she was betrothed to the Crown Prince of Xiangdu—the capital of the flourishing Yan Empire and the man who became her husband. And that was when Li Zhenyu awakened the apocalypse. “If I can’t have you… then no world will.” Twisting fate itself, he seized the Devil’s Bone—an ancient, forbidden cultivation that devoured qi, erased gods, and tore the realms apart. He unleashed hell upon the empire, turning immortal sects into ash, devouring time, and ripping heaven open. "If I can’t have you, then no one will!" In a single lifetime, Li Zhenyu snatched every joy from her fingers. He slaughtered her family, razed her kingdom to dust, and cast the world into chaos by awakening the most feared cultivation of all: the Devil’s Bone. But the afterlife never came for her… Instead, Yan Ruo woke in a world unlike her own—an apocalyptic ruin, devoured from the inside out. And it was then she realized—Li Zhenyu had tampered with the wheel of fate. He had sent her soul a thousand years into a timeline she wasn’t meant to survive— The Millennial Apocalypse. She now inhabits the body of Wen Yuyan, the frail, cursed, mute, and sickly fourth daughter of a revered general. Born with snow-white hair and marked as an ill omen, Wen Yuyan was locked away in the coldest courtyard, abandoned even by her mother. But Yan Ruo was never one to be overlooked. She’ll prove to the Wen family that she’s not the worthless Fourth Young Miss they cast aside. And as for Li Zhenyu—the villain in both timelines—this time, she’ll kill him before he ever becomes a threat. Before he learns to cultivate. Before he touches the Devil’s Bone. Before he dares love her again. One year. One life. One chance to rewrite destiny. This time, she won’t hesitate to drive a sword through his skull.

Pi Guang was an empty shell, spending his days to weeks, months, and years sweeping the temple courtyard. For a hundred years, he was unable to cultivate the Qi in his body, and had neither status nor companions. It was not until the Golden Heavenly Bell manifested, changing his fate dramatically – his cultivation level broke through the sky's limit, wealth flooded in, and disciples came one after another. “Master, is it true you have the soul pill in your stomach, just like the Azure Dragon?” “The Azure Dragon is me. I am one with it. The soul pill dwells within me.” “Master, is it really you who is said to be the 'golden butt' who revived the Suzhou Sect?” “I cultivate necromancy as well. It was me.” “Pi Guang, may I worship your wealth and achievements in cultivation?” “Not just my merits, Instructor Nan Ren, worship my immortality!”

Gifted a candle that was said to make wishes come true, Alice Clemente burned it to find herself awake in a different world. She had wished for a life of adventure away from the city and its routine. With her wish granted, she was no longer in the 21st century and was instead lost in the middle of the Kingdom of Gladiolum, a place reminiscent of the 1800s. With luck, she soon gained connections to the rich and powerful of this new world— the nobility. However, how much of it was good and how much of it would eventually be detrimental? After all, mingling with royals not only meant extravagance and daily parties. It also meant warfare and death. Caught in the middle of the two princes and other nobles, Alice would soon have to face the battle between those two royal brothers― a fight for the throne. She had wished for adventure, after all, and she received just as such. Kept in the center of all this, would Alice be able to emerge from the rabbit hole unscathed? Or will the overwhelming troubles of love and war be too much for her to bear? *** “And what if you, too, are unable to help?” Alice threw the question back. “What if helping would risk everything?” Spade didn’t miss a beat. “You are everything.” “Don’t say things that you don’t mean,” Alice chided. “You’ll leave a trail of broken hearts.” “And would you believe me if I say that I have no intention of breaking yours?” Spade countered. “However, mine is yours to play with. Shatter it, fix it, do anything you desire. As long as it feels the warmth of your hand, I am content.” *** Image used in cover not mine.

If you want to read the main story, you may visit my profile or just search the title I mentioned above. Enjoy reading. 　　BTW, I'll be uploading another novel to be translated by yours truly. The title is "I Have a Special Detective Skills", and it's written by the same author as the IBREMEL (1970s). ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ 　　As a melon eater in the new era, Jiang Youtao is like a melon in the melon field. She is there wherever there are melons. So on a thunderstorm night with lightning and rain, she traveled through time and became a poor little girl with the same name in the 1970s. 　　The poor little girl lost her mother at an early age, and her scumbag father remarried. Not only did she not have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, but she also had to do endless housework and endure endless beatings and scolding. 　　The time when Jiang Youtao traveled through time was the moment when the poor scumbag father forced the original owner to go to the countryside to take over his stepbrother's place in order to have someone to take care of him in his old age and to smash a pot after his death. 　　Thinking about the environment of hunger and cold in this era, Jiang Youtao's eyes went dark. In the last second before she lost consciousness, a voice appeared in her mind: 　　[ Ding ~ The melon-eating system is at your service. As long as you complete the melon-eating task, you can exchange it for supplies~~] 　　In order to have enough food and clothes, Jiang Youtao tried hard, so she ran around in the bloody world that was a fusion of many contemporary literatures, either eating melons or on the way to eat melons. 　　A certain educated youth from the same educated youth point traveled through time with space supplies, but ended up being a poverty alleviation stepmother; 　　"The mission is here ~ Watch and mess up the first meeting between the male and female protagonists, and the rewards are: 3 meat buns, 500g beef jerky, 1kg butter melon seeds." 　　A young wife in the village who had just been married for one day woke up and wanted to divorce her husband and marry her ex-husband's uncle; 　　"Ding ~ Watch the famous scene of the heroine getting divorced and applaud in public to receive 5kg of rice, 250g of pork, 5 feet of cloth, and 1kg of salt and pepper melon seeds." 　　The accountant's eldest granddaughter is a well-known lucky bag, while the second granddaughter is a jinx who is plagued by bad luck; 　　"Ding ~ Watch the jinx star commit suicide and help her, and you will get 5kg of white flour, a chicken drumstick, and 1kg of green tea flavored melon seeds." 　　Jiang Youtao enjoyed eating melons, and the melon seeds in her hand kept increasing. She had to go out to sell them. Before she knew it, she had made a fortune by selling melon seeds and became a famous roasted food king after the reform and opening up. The courtyard houses in Beijing and the small houses in Haishi were no longer a dream for her. She could go wherever she wanted. 　　But while she was eating the melon, a figure suddenly appeared beside her. Jiang Youtao reluctantly grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to him: "Big brother, do you want some melon seeds?" ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ No. Of Chapter/s: 1 Chapter ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ Alternative Name/s: I Became Rich by Eating Melons in 1970s ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ Original Author: Rain Falling on the Curtains (Yǔ luò chuāng lián) ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ nerdygangster14's Note: This book is not mine.

Qiao Mei transmigrated into a novel as a supporting character with the same name as her who lacked presence. This supporting character was a country bumpkin who couldn’t get married due to her obesity. According to the original script, this country girl Qiao Mei was a fatty spoiled by her grandfather. However, their relatives were all vicious and cruel people. Her grandfather had poor health, so once he died, the relatives would divide and swallow up his assets. Hence, her grandfather’s greatest wish was to marry Qiao Mei off. For this, even sacrificed and betrayed his good friend’s grandson, Xia Zhe. Grandpa got Xia Zhe drunk and had Qiao Mei forcibly take the strong and handsome Xia Zhe with her body which weighed more than two hundred pounds. Then, grandpa would catch them the next day and force Xia Zhe to marry Qiao Mei. However, that eventually caused the start of Qiao Mei’s unfortunate life. Also, in the original story, Qiao Mei took possession of Xia Zhe’s mysterious jade. But due to Qiao Mei’s stupidity, her cousin's sister had tricked Qiao Mei into giving her the jade, which resulted in the cousin’s family becoming rich. When Qiao Mei transmigrated here, it was during the awkward moment when she was making love to the man after making him drunk. She woke up groggily the next day and grandpa’s team had already appeared at the door. Qiao Mei was frightened. She didn’t want to proceed on the original path and marry a man who didn’t love her. And so, she lied and chased grandpa away. She also pushed the man out before forcing herself to look at her tanned and chubby reflection in the mirror! Alas, she cried at her ugly appearance… Like a sumo wrestler in large cloth underwear, even the plus-sized apparel shops didn’t have clothes in her size. And her face was the size of a pizza, a scorched pizza! Qiao Mei decided to reform her life! The first step, lose weight! The second step, clean up her room! She used to be particular about cleanliness, and although her current house had a huge courtyard, she could only describe it as messy! The third step was to hold onto the jade tightly so her greedy cousin wouldn’t stand a chance! Only, wasn’t the tall and handsome Xia Zhe supposed to hate her according to the original story? Why was he being nicer and nicer to her?

Betrayed in his past life, Kai Lin awakens in a new world—one ruled by strength, blood, and silence. He activates a mysterious Sign-In System: every location, every encounter, every hidden zone holds rewards. From forgotten martial arts to ancient body techniques, he ascends quietly, brutally—and without mercy. Assigned to the trash courtyard of the Azure Sky Sect, Kai Lin hides his growing power behind an indifferent gaze. When others fight for scraps, he signs in and receives a Heaven-Grade Void Cultivation Manual. When disciples mock him, he responds with broken bones. In a world of structured cultivation realms—from Body Tempering to Nascent Soul—and technique ranks from Mortal to Immortal, Kai Lin walks a cold and calculated path. He is not here to make friends. He is here to dominate. They will not remember his words. They will remember his silence. Ascension Log: The Silent Sign-In Sovereign

Xie Zhaozhao transmigrated into a Mary Sue historical romance novel titled “The Ice-Cold Prince Only Turns Back for Her Smile,” becoming a minor background character so unimportant, her face wasn’t even clearly described. Right at the beginning, she got bound to a broken-down system that cheerily shouted the moment it came online: “Dear Host! Your mission is: raise the male lead’s affection to 99 points and successfully marry into the prince’s manor to unlock your hidden life side quest! Fighting!” She actually believed it. Burned the midnight oil studying the male lead’s files, worked hard for two whole days trying to raise affection—yet the male lead didn’t spare her a single glance. “Did the male lead look at me today?” “Unable to detect effective eye contact.” “Was my smile sweet enough today?” “Male lead turned his head for 0.5 seconds. Target: the cat behind you.” “Then tomorrow I’ll change into a new outfit—” “Ding! System will now enter maintenance and upgrade mode. Estimated downtime: unknown. Host is advised not to dismantle the device.” Xie Zhaozhao: “???” Fine. Mission failed, system ran away, and before she could even die a cannon-fodder death, the whole plot collapsed first. Just as she was ready to lie flat and rot, the constables came knocking. “By imperial decree, the Xie family is found guilty of colluding with the enemy. All assets are to be confiscated!” Xie Zhaozhao froze for a second. And just like that—their entire household got cleaned out. Even the cooking pots were taken. Xie Zhaozhao: “…” So the system vanished, and the male lead’s affection score went back to zero—fine. But now she was dragging along a bunch of concubines, noble-born young ladies, her own mother, and her maid, fleeing like refugees to a half-collapsed, abandoned shack at the far edge of the village. A dozen women sharing one pot of porridge. Xie Zhaozhao stared at the few lonely grains of rice floating in the pot, lost in thought. She took a deep breath, turned to the teary-eyed women sitting at the table, and declared: “It’s alright. We still have our hands and feet!” Her mother sobbed softly, “But we don’t have land…” Xie Zhaozhao looked off into the distance. “Then we’ll rent some!” “No seeds.” “Then we’ll buy them!” “No money.” “…” Xie Zhaozhao gritted her teeth. “Then we’ll owe it first!” ** Three days later, Xie Zhaozhao was really out in the fields, hoe in hand, leading a bunch of pampered “noble ladies” to clear the land. On day one, the maid Xiaotao’s skin peeled from sunburn. On day two, her mother twisted her ankle hoeing the soil. On day three, they finally got their crops planted. On day four, every single sprout was rooted up and eaten by Old Man Wang’s pigs from the village. Xie Zhaozhao stormed off to confront Old Man Wang, only to be met with a sneer and a flick of his trouser leg: “Your family doesn’t even own a pig, and you think you can farm? Might as well plant your veggies straight into my pig’s mouth!” Xie Zhaozhao came back, pulled out their last 500 copper coins, and went straight to the market—returning with a limp little piglet. Everyone: “Miss… this pig looks crippled…” Xie Zhaozhao: “Lame or not, it’s ours! Next time someone messes with our field, our pig’s going to mess up theirs first!” She looked at the small patch of barren land in front of the dilapidated courtyard, her gaze firm: “From now on, forget the male lead. We’re going to grow the priciest cabbages in the empire and rake in silver from every noblewoman in the capital!” —Assuming, of course, the pig doesn’t wreck the field again tomorrow.

Everyone in Beijing's elite circle knows about He Yanci’s betrothed, Wen Ruan—a delicate “porcelain doll” who’s been his fiancée since birth. Convinced he’s always found her too clingy and fragile, Wen Ruan expects their reunion to be a formality to dissolve their childhood pact. But the aloof CEO she remembers has changed: his gaze lingers too long, his touches are unexpectedly gentle, and he insists on escorting her everywhere—like a man obsessed with guarding his treasure. When family pressure pushes them into a marriage of convenience, Wen Ruan prepares for a loveless union. Yet behind closed doors, He Yanci’s cold exterior melts into tender care: he remembers her aversion to cold weather, stays up late to adjust the room’s humidity for her, and even learns to brew her favorite aged white tea. As they navigate high-society dinners in her elegant cheongsams and late-night talks that feel almost too intimate, Wen Ruan begins to wonder: Is this calculated kindness… or something real? For He Yanci, the answer has been obvious since their first meeting as adults: the once-pudgy “little crybaby” has blossomed into a woman who captivates him with every sway of her cheongsam and every stubborn smile. His “duty” to marry her was never a burden—it was a chance to claim what he’s secretly desired for years. Now, as he peels back her layers of vulnerability and discovers her sharp wit and hidden resilience, he’ll use every trick in his playbook to turn their arranged union into a love she can’t resist. From forced proximity to stolen kisses under moonlit courtyards, their journey unfolds as a slow-burn romance where secrets from the past clash with present-day longing. With Wen Ruan’s delicate strength challenging He Yanci’s controlled demeanor, and his unwavering devotion melting her defenses, this “convenient” marriage becomes a love story written in silk and starlight—proving that even the coldest contracts can warm into forever.
