Science can explain many things, yet there remain countless mysteries beyond its reach—such as the folk practices of standing knives upright, using upright chopsticks to consult the spirits, scattering rice and water, inviting deities to possess the body... My story begins with an invocation of the soul.

I blossom amidst carnage, just like a flower in the dawn. In the struggle for survival at the end of days, when all hope faded, Fan Li gained the power to summon monsters. Every item became a medium for calling forth these beings: a worm egg, a music box, a bloodstained axe, a wedding dress soaked in crimson, a pitch-black book, and countless others... When Fan Li stood before a horde of zombies, he slowly opened the backpack slung over his shoulder. With a gentle smile, he signaled and spoke, "As everyone knows, I am a wholesale dealer of monsters!"

“We’re sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…” He had lost count of how many days it had been. He didn’t dare leave the house, his calls couldn’t get through, the television offered only static, and the computer wouldn’t connect to the Internet. They were completely cut off from the outside world. “It seems that all communication in River City has been severed. It’s been days—I can’t imagine what things are like beyond our walls…” “The safe zone, is it? And what’s this about some mysterious organization? Don’t you all think Professor Wu’s appearance is just a little too unbelievable? There’s something off about it!” Lin Xiaofeng paused, then added, “Come to think of it, it’s almost like he’s an NPC from a game…” At Lin Xiaofeng’s remark, a chill ran down Zhang Xingmin’s spine. He couldn’t deny it—right now, it really did feel as though they were trapped inside some kind of game.

When we were young, immersed in countless tales of martial heroes, we all dreamed of becoming a great hero—soaring through the skies, upholding justice, and righting wrongs wherever we found them.

Zhu Yu, who had become the Crown Prince through time travel, felt that his life had reached its peak. Yet when his father passed away and he ascended the throne, a sense of unease crept in. In the southern territories, the Wu Dynasty had already been overshadowed by a martial organization known as the Society of All Under Heaven, which eyed the borders of his realm. In the north, the Mongol nation was stirring restlessly, and within his borders, a group called the Ming Cult was recruiting fervently, now boasting a hundred thousand followers. Worse still, they had splintered, giving rise to the Sky Eagle Sect that wreaked havoc across the martial world. The Western Xia launched an invasion, but thanks to Chief Qiao Feng of the Beggar’s Sect delivering timely intelligence, Zhu Yu’s army achieved a resounding victory. All these reports had been submitted by the Iron-Hearted Marquis, Zhu Wushi. Zhu Yu turned, trembling slightly, to the grand eunuchs who attended him—Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian, Liu Xi—and said, “My throne is far from secure. Find someone to reinforce it.”

Transported to the Shang Dynasty, I found myself reborn as King Zhou. To my astonishment, the system actually demanded that I become a tyrant?! Divine right to rule? The Investiture of the Gods? Jiang Ziya, I'll give you a choice: either let me tear up the Investiture of the Gods, or I'll tear you apart! Daji truly is breathtaking—how could I not drive her to ecstasy and exhaustion, in honor of all my fellow men? I care nothing for Chan Sect, Jie Sect, or the Three Pure Ones.

Just as he was about to seek refuge with his notorious senior sister, the golden finger he had long yearned for finally arrived. "Activating Creation Mode...

Qin Bao was the legitimate eldest son of the Marquis’s household, yet his father showed him no affection, his stepmother was unkind, and his younger brother hurled insults at him. For twenty years he gave everything, but when his brother Qin Youde was about to marry, he scandalized the family by getting a courtesan pregnant. To conceal Qin Youde’s misdeeds, their parents forced Qin Bao to play the dutiful son and marry the courtesan in his brother’s stead. But Qin Bao’s soul had come from another world. Upon awakening, he gave Qin Youde a thorough beating and angrily denounced his father and stepmother, severing all ties with the Qin family once and for all. His poetry was unrivaled in the land, his business acumen amassed wealth to rival nations, he married a princess and aided the state, his name resounding throughout the world. His father, now full of regret, pleaded bitterly, “Bao’er, you are truly the son I love and am most proud of. Won’t you come home?” Qin Bao replied coldly, “Get lost!”

Emperor Jingxi was a stern and cold man, indifferent to women, and under his knee was only one son—the Crown Prince, a youth as bright and pure as the moon. Of this son, the emperor was at least somewhat satisfied. No one could have foreseen that the young Crown Prince would nearly lose his dignity over a beautiful woman. It was said that this woman was skilled in the arts of seduction and loved wealth above all else. When the emperor cast his eyes upon that concubine, he regarded her with deep disdain. She was clearly the sort who would never settle for a quiet life at home; such a wanton woman could only bring disaster if kept by the prince’s side. With a single decree, the emperor ordered that she become a Taoist nun and leave the prince’s residence. The Crown Prince protested, “Father, you do not understand what kind of woman Awu truly is!” The emperor replied indifferently, “Must I understand?” For several days, the prince struggled against his father’s will, but the emperor’s heart was as hard as iron. In the end, Awu was sent away from the prince’s manor. Yet Awu herself harbored no resentment. She wept and bid the prince farewell, then packed her belongings, preparing to become a carefree and wealthy little Taoist nun. Who could have predicted that, on that very day, she would accidentally stumble into a hot spring, slip, and fall straight into the arms of a strong, imposing man? That man was none other than Emperor Jingxi. That same night, the former concubine of the prince, Awu, was taken to the emperor’s palace. After three days and two nights, Awu was sent away in a grand carriage, accompanied by none other than Grand Eunuch Futai, the emperor’s most trusted attendant. Futai beamed as he offered his congratulations. Awu, supporting her aching waist, could only sigh in distress: so much for a peaceful life as a nun… The young Crown Prince stormed into the imperial study, his tone full of indignation: “Father, you would not let me keep Awu, yet now you have taken her for yourself!” Emperor Jingxi gazed at the son he had raised with his own hands and said, “Among all the women in the world, you may choose anyone but Awu. I will not interfere again.” The Crown Prince, trembling, drew the sword at his waist, gritting his teeth: “But I want only Awu.” The emperor’s hand pressed against his desk, his face impassive. “She is now my consort. You, of all people, should know how to address her.” The Crown Prince was on the verge of tears. “Father, how could you! How could you do this—Father—” The emperor replied coolly, “You once said I did not understand. Now, I simply do.” Completed works: “His Shadow Guard,” “Spring’s Warmth in the Palace,” and several stories set in different eras.

In the 1990s, coastal cities experienced an economic boom, riding the crest of the era and harnessing the winds of reform to develop at a breathtaking pace. With a wild and unrestrained vigor, they conquered new territories and amassed fortunes with astonishing speed.

That year, Jiang Fan boarded a southbound train and, upon arriving in Dongguan, set his own ambitions ablaze.

In the early 1990s, a story unfolds within the courtyards of old Jinan. It is a tale of youth, sweet affection, mutual pursuit, and the trivialities of family life. On the final day of her college entrance exams at the age of eighteen, Lin Xiyu rescued a mother and child who had fallen into the moat. Fortunately, with the testimony of a television station employee, the proctor was persuaded to show leniency, allowing her to enter the exam hall at the very last moment and not miss her test. Her courageous act not only earned her an invitation to participate in the local TV program "Springwater Family," where she made her first earnings in life, but also brought her into contact with someone she had secretly admired for years. The two met at the most beautiful age, sharing the sweetest and happiest times together. Yet, after both were admitted to their dream universities, family upheaval forced them apart. Years later, to appease her elders' incessant urging to marry, she agreed to a contract marriage with another man. In the elevator, she unexpectedly encountered the person who had vanished without a word for five years. Gu Bin, clad in a bespoke suit and exuding an extraordinary aura, had transformed from a rebellious youth into a dignified and distinguished young man. Seeing him ignore her, Lin Xiyu felt a surge of inexplicable anger. Just as she and Zhao Yuncheng finalized the terms of their marriage and were about to sign, someone interrupted. Gu Bin's gaze was deep and tinged with restrained fury. "For a contract marriage," he declared, "I am a far better candidate than him."

Xie Yihuang had achieved a comfortable middle-class life, complete with a house and a car. Yet, due to a blunder by a certain underworld intern, she inexplicably found herself transmigrated into the body of a little girl named Xie Yihuang in the 1980s. Her house was gone, her car vanished, her money disappeared, and even her academic credentials had dissolved into nothingness. Xie Yihuang threw her head back and howled at the heavens: “How am I supposed to live like this?” Fortunately, she still had a golden finger she’d bargained for with White Impermanence and a seven-member group where they could exchange gifts. In this era, she figured it would be easy to coast through life as a happy-go-lucky slacker. But the winds of time were harsh, and being a slacker wasn’t as simple as she had imagined. With no capital, no influential family, in an ordinary household, happiness could be snatched away at any moment by disaster or misfortune. Xie Yihuang realized she had no choice but to hustle.

In this lifetime, he had become a brilliant young man controlling the financial lifeblood of the 1980s. He thought this life would be just as monotonous, until, by merely watching a young girl fiercely confront a scoundrel, the hard-won Purifying World Pearl he possessed darted straight into her body! The first time: “Young lady, my Purifying World Pearl.” “I don’t know you. Stop bothering me and get lost!” Xie Yihuang replied. The second time: “Young lady, give me back my Purifying World Pearl.” “I don’t have time. I need to read, go to school, and compete,” she said. The third time: “Young lady, the Purifying World Pearl.” “I’m busy performing surgery on a patient,” she retorted. The nth time: “Little Phoenix, you really must explain about my Purifying World Pearl.” “If you want the pearl, I don’t have it. If you want my life, take it!” Xie Yihuang snapped. Yu Shangchen nodded with pleasure, hoisted her up, and marched straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau: “I don’t want your life, I just want you to spend eternity with me, lifetime after lifetime.”
