China's youngest heir to the medicine throne, Leng Zhiyan, was betrayed by her sister and her soul transmigrated, attaching itself to the meek and timid Ouyang Zhiyan, who was naturally self-deprecating! Her powerful soul took residence, and inadvertently unlocked the Spatial Spiritual Device Qiankun Bracelet, gaining medical tomes and cultivation scriptures. Her seemingly useless body was rapidly healed; she cultivated medicinal herbs, bonded with Demonic Beasts, and the Demon Doctor shook the world at the age of nine! ............................................ In a world of Sages, the Demon Doctor emerged. She was frail and petite, yet her true strength was hidden deep. With silver needles dancing like falling flowers and rain, and a melody that made all beasts submit, she was the outcast abandoned by all, the waste spoken of by the populace. With a faint smile, she stirred up a storm of blood and gore! Who says children cannot fend off enemies, who says women are inferior to men? She is the Demon Doctor, and also a Witch, deciding life and death or using poison with a mere thought. Excerpt One: "Hmph, you lowlife, don't think that knowing a bit of medicine will help you secure a foothold in the Ouyang Family!" Ouyang Qin said with hands on her hips, taunting in a domineering manner! "Exactly, looking like someone people shun and dogs despise, born without a mother's care, always good at seducing men everywhere!" Another young girl said with disdain, laughing in agreement! "Swoosh! Swoosh!" A glint of cold light flashed, and two silver needles accurately pricked the lips of the two girls. Ouyang Zhiyan looked up, her delicate and smooth face blossoming with an innocent smile, "I'm sorry, dear sisters, you are so eloquent that even my precious silver needles couldn't help but want to get closer to you"… Enduring in silence and keeping a low profile does not mean weak and incompetent. One may insult her, but they must first be prepared to die! Excerpt Two: "Yanyan, come home with me!" Ouyang Jin's dark eyes were profound, speaking gently and earnestly, his chiseled face tinted with the joy of rediscovery. "Home? Any place could be my home, but the Ouyang Residence!" Zhiyan looked up, her deep black pupils cold and indifferent, giving off a sense of detachment as distant as the ends of the earth. If one has caused hurt, why bother to retain? Leng Zhiyan's most scorned things are these entangled mundane matters. Recommended finished novel: http://www.xxsy.net/info/369213.html "Mesmerizing Green Lotus" In the Mainland where experts are revered, indifferent as she was, she traveled the world with her bare hands, contracted Demonic Beasts, refined Elixirs, commanded the realm of myriad flowers, cultivating to become the Lotus Sage, overlooking all under heaven.

From there it’s a just a SPIRAL of boneshit left and right! I can’t catch a break! What’s with this atrocious luck, bro?! A voice speaks to me about how I have qualified for something about a something that’s supposedly something’s something!

Jeez this is happening too fast! However, even while I’m in the thick of this, the one saving grace is that I got something worth while! A new path of power! I can NOT be an undead! I can be something better than both the Living and the Dead! Immune to the antics from both sides. Well... most of them! I’m no longer on the path for Undeath! Only Lifelessness awaits me!

This is an exploration of the mental state of a crushed captive, and of how Tofu mentally protects herself in order to survive by running away from herself and her own memories. In order to reflect Tofu's mindset, the complexity of language may change according to her mental state at the time. This story contains mature content and adult themes. It is not a romance or love story. More an exploration of Singhua's thoughts and psychology following the traumatic events in her life. Some areas may appear to be cut short or not explored in depth because as the author, when I immersed myself too deeply in Singhua's world it became unhealthy for my own mental state. Nevertheless, please feel free to make comment. The location is set in a fictional version of historical China, approximately during the time there were many warring kingdoms or states. It also has mixed up historical elements from different time periods. In order to reflect that this is in a roughly Chinese setting, some Pinyin names have been retained. This story is based upon a half-dream. The story has been completed. There will be no further updates. Feel free to inform me of any language errors I may have missed.

I stared defiantly at him but remained silent as he continued, “Your life belongs to me now; you will do what I say, how I say it, when I say it and maybe….” his other hand leisurely roamed from my thighs to my chest. I bit my lip to retain the moan that wanted to escape my mouth. Despite hating how I was being treated, I couldn’t help lusting over this hot, sadistic killer Alpha. “Maybe I will keep finding some good use for you.” He grinned at me, revealing his sharp Canines threateningly. ***** Lana is an orphan whose parents left her in the impoverished town of Maderva when she was still only a baby.
