Latest Ancient China Novel

When they were young, Yan Huinan was a spoiled, domineering, and somewhat incompetent scion. But his father was the formidable Marquis Dingbei, who commanded the four seas, and his mother was a beloved princess. Born into immense wealth, he was the quintessential precious young master. No one dared to offend Yan Huinan, whose prominence even overshadowed that of the imperial princes.

However, it was widely known that the person in the capital most untouchable was Xie Yun, because she was the apple of Yan Huinan's eye. The young tyrant would gladly offer her his very heart and soul. Yet, this same boy, who would cause a city-wide uproar if Xie Yun so much as grazed her knee, had his family ruined by the Xie clan. He then plunged into a sea of blood and corpses, taking up a blade to avenge his family and slay his mortal enemies.

Years later, when Xie Yun encountered Yan Huinan again, he had transformed into a battle-hardened, cold, and ruthless young general. Meanwhile, she was fleeing an arranged marriage, pursued by her fiancé's soldiers. In the rainy night, Yan Huinan sat calmly on horseback, using his icy long spear to lift her chin. The blade cut her delicate skin, and crimson blood trickled down Xie Yun's neck.

Yan Huinan sneered, his eyes full of mockery: "It seems old acquaintances meet again." Xie Yun knew that falling into Yan Huinan's hands would mean a gruesome end. After all, he must hate her to death. But later, Yan Huinan not only didn't let her die, he even married her as his legal wife, making her the most esteemed person once more, granting her all due respect, but deliberately withholding his love.

It wasn't until Xie Yun saw the marriage contract they had written in their youth. It was only a casual scribble she made when annoyed by Yan Huinan, yet he had carefully cherished it alongside his deceased mother's keepsakes. The paper was wrinkled, showing how many times it had been folded and caressed.

Xie Yun asked him, "Yan Huinan, are you a masochist?" Yan Huinan stubbornly replied, "Whatever you say I am, that's what I am."

【Pure and fiery cultivation maniac female lead * White-cut-black manipulative male lead】

Shen Wenji, a proud daughter of an immortal sect, disguised herself as male to infiltrate the Heavenly Profound Sect's trials, determined to claim the position of chief disciple. However, she narrowly lost to Xie Yunqing, a top talent who had always outshone her, a man of deep cunning.

She gritted her teeth in secret resentment, but then unexpected circumstances arose. Her mother, who had always opposed her cultivating, suddenly sent word, asking her to inherit the position of sect master.

Shen Wenji was overjoyed: What's a mere chief disciple? Once I take charge of the sect, all secret manuals and magic treasures will be mine. I'll surely surpass that sworn enemy!

But as she pushed open the secret chamber door of the sect, something felt off. The bookshelves were lined with heavily covered manuals, glass cases held trembling luminous pearls, and most conspicuously, a gossamer-thin robe, delicate as a cicada's wing, hung alongside cold, gleaming profound iron chains...

Shen Wenji casually pulled out a manual, and what met her eyes was "Eighteen Forms of Spring Mountains." She slapped her hands over her eyes instantly, her hands, clutching the illustrated manual, trembling slightly.

The sect she was inheriting was, in fact, the Joyful Union Sect!

***

To revitalize the declining sect and clear its defiled name, Shen Wenji decided to seek out famous teachers and compile proper cultivation manuals! Following a clue to a pleasure house, she peered behind a beaded curtain and saw an incredibly familiar face.

Xie Yunqing lounged casually on a soft couch, a crimson ribbon draped to the floor, his white robes half-open, abdominal muscles faintly visible. She never expected the Heavenly Profound Sect's aloof chief disciple to be so dissolute in private.

"Junior Brother Shen... no, Miss Shen?" Xie Yunqing frowned slightly, the wine cup at his lips pausing. His gaze darkened as he pressed: "You disappeared without a word again. Which sect are you in now?"

Why did I get exposed at this moment? Heaven wants me dead.

***

With Xie Yunqing's help, the Joyful Union Sect flourished, even prompting the former sect master to send a message inquiring about its progress. Xie Yunqing lightly chuckled, holding the communication talisman: "Immortal Venerable, don't worry. Wenji is currently in the spiritual spring... reviewing old cultivation methods."

In the swirling mist, Shen Wenji leaned against the spiritual spring, her robes drenched.

Xie Yunqing slowly fiddled with the silver bell on her ankle, and in a soft voice, told the communication talisman: "Don't worry, I will take good care of her and make sure she doesn't overexert herself."

After the communication ended, Shen Wenji threatened fiercely: "Xie Yunqing... don't go too far!"

Xie Yunqing blinked innocently, smiling as he leaned in: "Sect Master, the heritage of the Joyful Union Sect cannot be abandoned. I am diligently helping you review the cultivation methods."

"You used to say my cultivation was superficial. Now, let me prove myself."

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she helped her husband pass the imperial examination, enter officialdom, and gain merits, yet she was rewarded with a cup of poisonous wine.

Before dying, her legitimate sister said: "Good sister, thank you for building such a large family fortune for my son and me!" In this life, she and her legitimate sister are reborn simultaneously.

Her legitimate sister clamors for a marriage switch, wanting to be with the world's son "from beginning to end, flying together, sharing glory." Of course, Wen Yan fulfills her wish!

She turns around and marries a sickly, poor scholar, befriends a great Confucian, is admired by painting masters, and her business flourishes. Moreover, the highly respected old Princess provides protection and guidance.

Is her legitimate sister jealous? Is her ex-husband regretful? They've all been reborn, who still wants to engage in poverty alleviation?

It's just that... her supposed short-lived husband, who should have died early, is not only alive and kicking but also made her a zhuangyuan's (top scholar's) wife!

Wen Yan asks: "You said my short-lived husband dying would mean I'd be a widow, free to travel, sightsee, eat, drink, and play?" Her short-lived husband takes her hand with his distinctly muscular arm: "My wife, how can mountains and rivers be as fun as your husband?"

Finishing up the epilogue. This novel is extremely high in Nezha content.

A carp spirit × a lotus spirit (not really). Reborn as the only brocade carp in the lotus pond on Mount Qianyuan, I was told that my path to cultivation was not on Mount Qianyuan. At that time, I thought being an ordinary little carp wasn't bad. Until one day, an unexpected whirlpool at the bottom of the lotus pond swept me and a crane into another realm.

I became the River God of Yunshui River. The crane became the Great King Crane of White Tiger Ridge next door. I finally understood that this other realm was the Journey to the West world, and the crane and I had become one of the 81 tribulations.

One day, I really did wait for Tang Sanzang and his disciples, but the scene was a bit awkward. When Zhu Bajie saw a woman bathing in the river, his lust flared up. Just as he was about to take her clothes from the bank, a red sash suddenly flew out and tied him up.

A youth dressed in lotus garments, stepping on his Hot Wheels, stood in mid-air, looking at Zhu Bajie as if he were trash. Seeing my long-unseen little companion, I immediately cried out, "Little Lotus! You finally came to find me! Look, I've already transformed into human form!" I hugged him tightly when he landed, ignoring his slightly stiff body.

However, at that moment, another red sash shot over, attacking the lotus-dressed youth. Everyone's eyes collectively turned to see a youth in red clothes and silver armor, with a gloomy face, reaching out to me. "A-Yu, come here."

When I traveled to another world, my companion, who had returned from the Investiture of the Gods, also came. At the same time, this tribulation also arrived. But was this tribulation truly just one for Tang Sanzang and his disciples?

My seemingly ordinary little carp also seemed to be not so ordinary. This is a first-person narrative, involving mythical legends and my own take on Nezha.

Zhang Family Village is nestled in the southwest of Kunshan. The continuous, undulating mountains act like a protective deity, nurturing the people who live there.

Zhu Hao was regarded as an inauspicious person, a "star of calamity." Although she possessed a beautiful face, no one dared to catch her embroidered ball.

No one human dared to catch it, but a god was forced to. She threw the embroidered ball, hitting a statue of a fallen immortal in a procession of wandering deities. The statue's face cracked slightly.

From that day on, Huaicheng was ravaged by strong winds and heavy rain, nearly submerging the entire city. Zhu Hao was sold by her wicked aunt for twenty taels to an eighty-year-old man as a concubine, in reality, to be a sacrificial burial companion.

On the night of the wedding, Huaicheng was gloomy with wind and rain. A handsome young man held an umbrella, intercepting her bridal sedan chair. "Miss Zhu, I'm here to marry you."

"Nonsense. Aside from the old man who's nearly in his grave, what young master in Huaicheng would dare to marry me?"

"On the 22nd day of the third month, at the third quarter past wei shi (1-3 PM), you threw an embroidered ball at this immortal's statue. Gods cannot deceive mortals; this immortal will just count it as bad luck."

"If you're ill, seek medical attention..." Before she could finish, the floral umbrella in the young man's hand instantly turned to dust, yet the pouring rain didn't touch him. He said impatiently, "Marry or not?"

Song Xieqing's only wish was to be a carefree immortal, until a mortal girl tossed her embroidered ball onto his jade statue, utterly shattering his desire for solitude. Gods cannot deceive mortals, otherwise, divine punishment descends. He had no choice but to cohabit with that girl as husband and wife.

He and she were merely a superficial marriage, mutually beneficial. He only needed to wait until her life ended to resume being his carefree immortal. Every day, Song Xieqing saw the mortal girl pass through his manor, and if she saw him, she would laugh and greet him. This happened daily, nothing special.

Until... Song Xieqing saw her smile at another young man, and for a moment, he was flustered. "Is Shi Chunsheng truly that good? In my opinion, he's nothing special; his family only makes a living from a bookstore. If you were with him, would he be willing to give you extra money for rouge every month?"

"What about the magistrate's young master?"

"Hiss... money for rouge wouldn't be a problem, but the young master is too much of a philanderer, so he's nothing special either."

Zhu Hao meaningfully glanced at him, teasing, "What about you, husband?" Song Xieqing, afraid she would see his slight inferiority, quickly averted his gaze. He countered, "What do you think?"

"Male Rivalry Shura Field + All Male Leads are Pure"

Ling Qingyan transmigrated into a somewhat improper强制 (forced love) novel. The original protagonist disliked these men and had a strong self-destructive tendency. Ling Qingyan's mission was to prevent the male leads from falling in love with the protagonist, stop the protagonist from self-destructing, and reduce the male leads' blackening value.

So, she diligently prevented their initial encounters and conscientiously helped the protagonist avoid disasters and difficulties.

"System: One good news, one bad news."

Good news: Making the male leads fall in love with you will offset their blackening value.

Bad news: If the male leads discover that they are not your only beloved, their blackening value is highly likely to max out, rendering all previous efforts futile.

Ling Qingyan: ...

And so, Ling Qingyan became an ultimate time management master. Day after day, one after another, the maiden seduced them with utmost purity and sincerity:

"I love you, I will always be with you, I want to enter your world."

Later, the Crown Prince's gaze towards her grew increasingly impure. Young General Ji had eyes only for her. The Grand Tutor visited her daily under the guise of teaching her. King Yong, Ling Yu, only wanted to offer his little girl the best things in the world. The Wei Kingdom's hostage prince was willing to obey her, becoming any persona she liked for her.

Just as her mission was nearing completion, Shen Chuo orchestrated a situation where all of them gathered, and the male leads discovered they were not the only one.

It's over! The plan failed! All previous efforts were for naught, and the blackening values maxed out!

The male leads' gazes towards her began to change... Shen Chuo said, "Why is Your Highness so good to them? What they can do, I can do too. Even if it means being Your Highness's dog, I am willing..."

【Farming + Space + Divine Doctor + Sweet Romance + Grand Secretary】

Lin Qian's family of four, due to a car accident, all transmigrated to ancient times.

At the beginning, they had a dilapidated house and half an acre of sweet potato fields. Fortunately, with a space in hand, the family of four worked together to achieve a comfortable life.

When the imperial court conscripted soldiers, Lin Dad reluctantly went to the battlefield, becoming a great general, and the whole family moved to the capital.

Lin Qian's biggest wish in this life was to cure diseases and save lives, plus marry a good husband.

But for some unknown reason, after seeing all the young masters in the capital, no one was willing to marry her.

Until one day, Lin Qian suddenly discovered that the Grand Secretary, who became the top scholar at 16 and rose to a position second only to one person and above ten thousand at 18, was threatening her blind date candidates.

It seemed the Grand Secretary was secretly coveting her.

"Quick, tell me! When did you start liking me?"

"There is a beautiful one, whom I see and cannot forget. A single day without seeing them, and I yearn like mad. A phoenix flies high, seeking its mate throughout the four seas."

"I don't understand..."

"I fell in love with you at first sight, and it's hard to forget."

"Love at first sight is just lust at first sight; you don't love me at all!" Helan Ruizhe found that no words could coax the girl in front of him, so he hooked her neck and covered her cherry lips, their teeth and lips intertwining.

His voice was low and hoarse as he leaned into Jin Suting's ear, "Love at first sight for others might be lust at first sight, but for me with you, it's a glance that spans ten thousand years."

Su Li transmigrated to ancient times, becoming the youngest daughter in a military household at the very bottom of society. Her father and brothers were constantly busy garrisoning the border and cultivating fields, with no time to care for the family. The imperial court was corrupt, and military pay was intermittent.

The entire family survived on just one plot of irrigated land. After much effort, they finally saved enough money for her second brother's wedding, but her illness used up all their savings, turning them into penniless farmers overnight.

Seeing that the family was about to face days of alternating hunger and fullness, Su Li took up her old profession from her previous life. She convinced her grandparents to make her a cart, and she dragged it to the docks to sell lunchboxes.

"Only 10 Wen! One meat, one vegetable, large portion, guaranteed to fill you up!"

At Jiangkou Pier in Qingshui County, a young woman appeared selling lunch. It was called "lunchbox," and initially, only those working at the pier would eat it.

Later, at some point, everyone in the county discovered that this "lunchbox" was exceptionally delicious, and people started lining up before dawn.

"I love the spicy braised pig trotters made by young Miss Su the most, they're truly delicious!"

"I love the stir-fried fatty intestines, so fragrant, spicy, and chewy!"

"Clearly, the pickled fish is the best!"

The male lead is aloof, reclusive, and suffers from anorexia, while the female lead is a little angel who cooks delicious food.
