Latest Ancient China Novel

Rong Ning knew that a madman lived in her heart, the kind of madman who could destroy worlds. But in front of her peerlessly beautiful and gentle elder sister, she was always that well-behaved, innocent, and adorable little girl.

No matter what she did, in her elder sister's eyes, her 'A Ning' simply didn't want to abide by those rigid rules, hence her somewhat unrestrained behavior. Her elder sister was the most tolerant person in the world towards her.

Yet, this wonderful elder sister, due to the defeat of the Southern Dynasties, was coerced by the court and common people with the righteousness of home and country to go to the enemy nation for a political marriage.

But, why? The one who made this country unstable was clearly the foolish former emperor and the parasitic officials engrossed in factional struggles. Those people should bear the consequences of defeat, not her elder sister!

Why is Heaven so unjust? She hates it! But she was powerless and could only watch her elder sister go for the political marriage. From then on, the madness in Rong Ning's heart could no longer be suppressed... she would kill Buddhas she met, and gods she met!

She vowed to carve a bloody path and bring her elder sister home.

Yunzhi was born in ancient times, and she tried to imitate ancient women timidly, just to live a good life in ancient times.

Finally, she became the first-rank marquis lady of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a complete winner in life.

Just when Yunzhi was about to lie down and spend her days, she found out that she was cheated!

Her husband didn’t love her, and her mother-in-law didn’t love her.

Once the concubine brought her son into the mansion, her husband wanted to demote her to a concubine!

What a joke!

How could she, the dignified Dark Emperor, be a concubine? Divorce!

After leaving the mansion and returning home, she thought she would get a few words of comfort, but she didn’t expect to be forced by her family to become a nun.

Damn ancient people, I won’t pretend anymore! In anger, she decided to set up a mansion and live alone.

Anyway, she has a dowry in hand, why not be a happy single dog!

Unexpectedly, once the imperial edict came from the sky, she became the regent princess.

Looking at the person kneeling in front of her, Yunzhi sneered: You little bastards, I’ll torture you to death!

Shen Tang has awoken on the way to exile and discovered that this world was very unscientific.

When the divine stone fell from the sky, numerous kingdoms began to fight against each other.

Scholars could condense wenxin, their words became reality.

Martial artists could create wudan, splitting mountains and breaking seas.

The man she believed to be only a pretty boy told her to “fight” and a moment later he was wearing armor with a spear in hand. One person can become an army and single-handedly win over troops.

Someone that looked like the tuberculosis patient said, “scatter like stars in the sky or chess pieces on a board”. The sky is round, while the land is like a chessboard. The formation of troops can be grasped in passing!

This TM can’t be considered scientific!

It is clear that in this world, theology was the nail in the coffin of science.

And she—

“Your Highness, there is a severe drought in north county, how about you cry a bit?”

Shen Tang: “…”

“Your Highness, there is a flood in Nanzhou, how about you smile more?”

Shen Tang: “…”

———————

Shen Tang has no choice but to abandon her beloved painting brush and accept the path of the strongest.

[True and False Heiresses + Mind Reading + Gossiping + No Romance + Slacker Life]

Yue Fuguang died hastily while saving someone.

Then, for the same reason, she was bound by a merit system—albeit a defective version—and given a second chance at life.

What? She’s the real heiress in a true-and-fake heiress story, the one who dies early?

Now that Yue Fuguang is here, an early death is out of the question! So she slipped away without a second thought.

As for the system’s mission—to save the Great Yan Dynasty, prevent its collapse, and stop the land from descending into the chaos of the Warring States period—

Yue Fuguang: “System, have you even looked at how old I am? My tiny frame can’t handle such a heavy responsibility.”

If the sky is falling, let the tall ones hold it up. She’s just a kid; she’ll sit back, clap, and cheer them on!

Yue Fuguang is taken back by her biological parents—wealthy and powerful, but utterly heartless. So she abandons them and gets herself adopted by her uncle’s family instead.

As for the mission? The slacker-minded Yue Fuguang has a solution: outsource it!

She leaks carefully selected “thoughts” to the Emperor and officials of Great Yan, then crowns herself with the divine title of Immortal Lord Undergoing Trials.

With advanced technology, seeds, and other benefits dangled before them—plus the ever-looming threat of national destruction—

Great Yan’s court becomes a melon field for the little Immortal Lord (Yue Fuguang) and the System Deity to gossip and milk tasks from.

Sipping tea and munching on melons, the duo casually complete side quests.

[What? This minister starves to death on the run after the country falls!]

[Brutal—this official gets trampled by enemy horses? And his chubby grandson…

In her previous life, Dou Wenyi was condemned to hell by the State Preceptor's declaration of her being an unlucky star, unloved by both her father and mother.

Only her fiancé, Xie Guidu, defied the rumors and resolutely came to propose marriage. From then on, she regarded him as her everything, willing to test poisons for him and burn through her ardent love.

It wasn't until war broke out that she overheard a conversation between her husband and her brother: "...just use her to replace Mingyan and offer her to the barbarians." "I only married her because of Mingyan."

It turned out that her husband, like her parents, had already given his heart to her adopted older sister. Her self-perceived salvation was nothing more than a joke.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day Xie Guidu came to propose marriage. She calmly tore up the engagement. To hell with salvation; it's better to rely on herself than on others. She would be her own lucky star!

______

Xie Guidu was pure and self-possessed, always thinking she loved him deeply. But when Dou Wenyi turned around, deciding to marry someone else, he completely lost his mind!

Later, he humbly knelt before her, his eyes red, "Yier, for the debts of the previous life, I'll pay with my life. Please love me once more..."

Silence fell, and a large hand wrapped around her waist, "She is my woman. If you want to steal her, it's too late!"

Military camp tent.

Five-year-old Xie Mianmian was pushed into a lotus pond. In her blurry consciousness, she heard a koi fish say, "The Xie family's fortune has been devoured." Then, her tiny soul witnessed her entire family's tragic end.

After her rebirth, she unexpectedly bound to the Heavenly Dao system and could hear the prophetic thoughts of animals. A little white mouse said a voodoo doll was hidden under the osmanthus tree, a warhorse cried that her third brother would fall into an ambush, and even the magpies in the imperial garden clamored to reveal secrets.

Looking at her elegant eldest brother, her second sister renowned in the capital, and her spirited third brother, Xie Mianmian clenched her small fists: This time, I will reclaim everything that belongs to the Xie family!

Xie Mianmian was busy getting kisses from her brothers and sisters while also having little bees sting the troublesome bad women, making them yelp. Later, the world all said that the youngest daughter of the Xie family was an auspicious saint, and the Emperor even personally conferred her the title of "Protector Spirit Child," setting up a hundred-beast garden in the imperial garden for her to play in.

However, they didn't know that Xie Mianmian was secretly directing ants to empty out the rebel's stolen goods, whispering, "Shh, don't let my brothers find out I'm causing trouble."

Also known as "Shan Shan Marries Liang" and "Daily Life of an Ancient Lady Painter."

The younger brother experiences a marriage of convenience, followed by a love chase and a "crematorium" (painful pursuit of reconciliation). The elder brother attempts to seize his brother's wife (but fails). The main text is written in the third person.

Updates are every other day at 3 PM.

Regarding Xue Shanhe, the Resilient and Independent Daughter of a Criminal Official: When I was almost reduced to an official slave, forced to serve men, it was Old Master Liang who saved my life. Therefore, I'm willing to do anything to repay his kindness.

It's alright if Liang Shao doesn't like me. It's also alright if we sign a divorce agreement on our wedding night. As long as Old Master Liang doesn't worry and lives a few more healthy years, I'll do anything.

For two years, I cared for the gravely ill Old Master Liang while secretly saving money. Once the Old Master passed away, I would honor my promise and leave with the divorce agreement. I planned to return to Jinling, rent a small courtyard by the Qinhuai River, and live by selling paintings. That sounded quite good.

The day after the Old Master's burial, I asked Liang Shao for the divorce agreement. His eyes widened, and his voice almost cracked, "You want a divorce?!"

He threw a huge tantrum and stormed out. But later that evening, he tiptoed into bed and hugged me, "Shan Shan, Grandfather's greatest wish was for us to have a child of our own. Let's fulfill the old man's dying wish before you leave, okay?"

Regarding Liang Shao, the Tsundere "Puppy" Doted on by his Grandfather and Brother: I, your young master, hate being controlled the most! If it weren't for Xue Shanhe, I would have decided my own marriage!

However, she is quite sensible. She readily signed the divorce agreement on the wedding night and even promised to leave immediately once Grandfather was gone. Good. I'll give her more money then, so she won't disgrace her status as my ex-wife.

It's just... having a woman in the house really feels different. My protective soft armor needs pink flowers and green leaves embroidered on it, and I need to bring a good luck charm when I go on official business... Tsk. She even secretly saved money, and only after much pressing did she shyly say, "I wanted to save some money to buy a top-notch soft armor for Second Master. When Second Master goes to Beimian in the future, it can protect him."

Would I, your young master, care for something bought with her small amount of money? That night, the wind was strong, and the divorce agreement blew over the candlelight, quickly turning to ashes. Oh well, if it's burned, it's burned. Writing another one would be too troublesome.

Regarding Liang Ye, the Upright and Self-Restrained Third-Place Scholar Brother: The first time I saw her, she was sitting beside Ashao, demure, with only a plain silver hairpin in her hair. I heard the servants say that her family was from Jinling, the only descendant of Grandfather's most favored student from years past. After her family was raided, Grandfather saved her so she wouldn't be enslaved.

I also heard that Ashao didn't like her, and he married her because Grandfather traded a chance to gain experience in Beimian for this marriage. But she seemed quite good to Ashao. When Ashao was drunk, she personally brewed hangover soup; when Ashao was injured, she cared for him tirelessly for two months.

Until that day, I accidentally found the divorce agreement in Ashao's study. So, all of this was just an act to repay Grandfather's kindness. Foolish Ashao, truly living in a blessed state without realizing it.

Later, after Grandfather passed away, she knelt before me: "I want to divorce Ashao, please help me, elder brother." Xue Shanhe, you came to my door on your own initiative.

Trigger Warnings: 1. Numerous private settings. 2. The female lead's profession: an ancient lady painter (doing *that* kind of painting...). This novel is primarily focused on romance, with a smaller proportion dedicated to career. 3. The younger brother's storyline is primarily before VIP chapters, with the elder brother's storyline beginning after, and the elder brother's role will be more prominent overall.

Keywords: Palace nobility, market life, melodrama, marriage before love, love chase crematorium. Characters: Xue Shanhe, Liang Shao, Liang Ye. One-sentence summary: The young general experiences a love chase "crematorium," and the third-place scholar tries to seize his brother's wife. Theme: If for freedom, all things can be cast aside.

At six years old, Xie Sangning, who should have been the pampered eldest daughter of the general's manor, was sent to the barren Xihan region to freeze to death due to her second aunt's jealousy.

Bad news: she died. Good news: she wasn't completely dead; she transmigrated. She traveled to the 22nd century, saw a different world, rolled up her sleeves, and studied diligently, hoping to return one day.

Heaven did not fail the persistent, and she finally returned to Qing Dynasty, reborn at the age of six when she was on the brink of death. In this life, she won't let go of anyone: the cousin who usurped her place, the princess who bullied her brother, the two-faced younger cousin, and that person in the palace...

What kind of refined lady, what kind of outwardly intelligent and inwardly virtuous woman? She is just a spoiled, wicked girl! Since there is no justice to be found, she will no longer be bound. Since imperial power is supreme, then she will change this very heaven!

CP: Female Master x Male Disciple / Sect Leader x Morbid 'Little Dog' / Emotionally Deficient x Sensitive and Inferior.

A hundred years ago, Bai Yuheng sealed a demon at the cost of her life, almost scattering her soul, with only a wisp of primordial spirit remaining in the world. A century later, the demon-sealing barrier was destroyed, and her primordial spirit re-condensed, allowing Bai Yuheng to recover her physical body and some of her cultivation.

To investigate the truth behind the barrier's destruction and avoid alerting the enemy, she concealed her identity and returned to the Tianyan Sect. She effortlessly defeated all new disciples, becoming a pre-disciple of the Tianyan Sect. After successfully completing the entrance tasks, Bai Yuheng, due to her extraordinary talent and rare cultivation roots, was highly sought after by several elders. Unable to reach an agreement, the choice fell to her.

With a faint smile, under everyone's eager and curious gaze, Bai Yuheng pointed to the silent man sitting in a high position. "I choose him." It was Pei Yuan, her former disciple.

Pei Yuan was born in the mud, a natural evil spirit, disliked and shunned by everyone. When he was on the verge of death, pressed into the dirt, a goddess descended and annihilated the demons who had tormented him.

Pei Yuan looked up at her from the filth. She smiled gently, extended her hand to him, and asked, "Are you willing to come with me?" Pei Yuan's ears roared, and his hardened heart pounded violently. "...I am willing."

Pei Yuan became a disciple under Bai Yuheng, the Immortal Azure Phoenix Emperor of Wangxian Mountain, transforming from a despised and bullied evil spirit into a respected disciple of the Tianyan Sect. He believed he could stay by her side forever. But in that war, he watched her perish, her soul scattering.

Just a little, just a little bit more, and he could have held onto her, just as she had extended her hand to pull him from the mud all those years ago.

Pei Yuan reluctantly accepted this disciple but didn't pay much attention to her. Bai Yuheng didn't care either; she investigated her case, and he did his own thing. She only occasionally lamented how cold and distant this disciple had become.

Until one day, she stumbled upon his secret: when he was afflicted by a love poison and deeply immersed in desire, he called out her name. Bai Yuheng: ...?

Well... that was quite sudden. The disciple I raised like a son is actually lusting after me!? But later, for some unknown reason, this "master's" gaze towards her also became increasingly strange. Good heavens, he's looking at what's in the pot while eating from the bowl!

No, wait! Why am I getting jealous of myself? Unit stories include: ① The Female Ghost of Furong Town, ② The Ghost Lord of White Bone Ghost City, ③ The Human Skin Lanterns of Jiangzhou, ④ The Yin Soldiers of Shangjing City, ⑤ The Divine Underworld Realm, ⑥ Currently in production...
