Latest Inspirational Novel

This is my first attempt at writing a novel; the ending isn't great, so read with caution.

A physically unhinged beauty vs. a loyal young general. From the female protagonist's perspective, Yuan Ming could never understand how a tyrant could be reborn. She should have remained in Avīci Hell, facing her retribution.

She didn't understand—death, the most impartial thing in the world, yet when it came to her, it became unfair. She wasn't worthy of it. She allowed herself to dance with bloodshed, just like in her previous life, but as a human, the instinct for survival was ingrained in her nature, so she struggled between self-destruction and self-salvation.

What Yuan Ming didn't know was that although she appeared insane, her actions were always guided by her personal code of ethics. Perhaps, only at the end could she reconcile with herself, but that is merely a 'perhaps'...

Note: In her previous life, the female protagonist was a noble princess, but due to her older sister's schemes, she fell into the mud, enduring inhumane torture, left physically crippled and disfigured. She later returned to the empress's throne like a vengeful ghost crawled from hell, her heart riddled with wounds, becoming bloodthirsty and tyrannical.

From the male protagonist's perspective: In my previous life, I walked on thin ice as a minor general, fighting against foreign enemies and corrupt court officials. After much struggle, I discovered that my childhood idol had degenerated into a tyrant. For the sake of the people, I then had to campaign against her.

However, halfway through, my own father appeared, viewing me as a family disgrace, calling me a rebellious traitor, and seeking to take my life. After enduring countless hardships, I was disfigured, lost my comrades, and finally broke into the imperial city. I had intended to persuade my idol to turn back, only to find that she had committed suicide!

--- Important Reminders ---

1. The female protagonist is a bit mentally unsound; she truly has a disorder.

2. The female protagonist has a slight 'Mary Sue' quality; several male characters secretly harbor affection for her, but she is career-focused and doesn't care.

3. The male and female protagonists do not truly end up together in the end, but all main characters achieve their desires, making it a good ending. Please be aware of this if you mind. (It is implied that a romantic relationship is not the main focus.)

4. The author currently plans to organize the outline and save the entire manuscript. This novel will definitely be completed. If you enjoy it, please click to favorite it!

Qi You transmigrated to become the Seventh Prince, Yin You, who had a slight disability in his left leg. As a prince with a leg ailment, he could easily avoid the "Nine Princes' Succession Struggle" and peacefully enjoy wealth and status. However, Qi You declared that this was not an option.

The Prosperous Age of Kangxi and Qianlong? Don't joke around. It was a semi-feudal, semi-slave society with two legal systems, dividing people into several classes. Not to mention the later invasion by imperialist powers and a tragic history.

Refusing to be a 'Buddha-like' slacker, everyone needed to 'roll up their sleeves'! Whether it was studying in school or handling official duties, everyone was pushed so hard they were dizzy.

Emperor Kangxi: "I can't roll anymore, you do it if you can." Crown Prince: "Same as above." First Prince: "Same as above." Fourth Prince: "Same as above." All other brothers: "Same as above."

He built schools to enlighten the populace and reformed the system. He manufactured cannons, large ships, and naval fleets, restarted voyages to the West, not to send gifts, but only to collect tributes.

The Great Qing truly prospered and became strong, dominating the world. This is not a formal history and does not blacken anyone; it's healthy competition. Qi You ascends the throne, and the main story focuses on his career.

Synopsis: A one-sentence summary: In 1972, after being forced to return to secular life, I went to cultivate immortality~

After transmigrating, in just a few days, Lin Xinghuo became a "three-noes" person (no relatives, no property, no home) who was forcibly repatriated (kicked off the mountain)! She also had to raise three thick-skinned fox cubs who followed her down the mountain...

Despite such heavy burdens, fate had more in store for her. In her previous life, she focused on cultivation and made slow progress. In this life, amidst the wave of "down with all feudal superstitions," Lin Xinghuo actually reached the Half-Xiantian stage just by descending a mountain?

***

To cultivate or not to cultivate, Lin Xinghuo, being dirt poor, had no choice. With immense strength, she contracted the entire old forest. Seeing that getting rich was within reach, ding, dong, dong~ A cultivation partner descended from the heavens: a Pallas's cat! That's right, the walking meme, the famous short-legged cat, the feline most closely resembling a sphere!

Grandpa Pallas's cat brought opportunities, a vibrant world she had never seen, and also poverty! No spiritual food, no spiritual plants, and no money. Lin Xinghuo spread her arms, tears flowing from the corners of her mouth: It's okay! No spiritual food? I'll purify it myself. No spiritual plants? I'll cultivate them myself.

The 70s wasn't all about self-reliance and abundant food and clothing!

***

The Pallas's cat, claiming to be a descendant of the divine beast Pallas's Lynx, cleverly decided early on to choose a human partner, thinking it could just lie flat and be supported by humans. But, my human is too good to me?!

So, one day, the irritable, pampered, and lazy Grandpa Pallas's cat discovered that, in this household, it worked just as much and exerted just as much effort, yet was less favored than the three stinky fox cubs!

"I didn't come to join this family; I came to rule this family!" Grandpa Pallas's cat ranted furiously. The truly thundering Pallas's cat was rubbed on the head by a slender hand and instantly became dazed. When it came to its senses, the condescending Pallas's cat said: "Rub my head again."

A colossal circular shadow loomed over the clouds, and people discovered it was hurtling towards Earth.

The immense impact caused the planet Theia to directly penetrate Earth's body. The remnants of Theia, deep within Earth's interior, also led them towards the planet's core.

Earth was utterly defeated, but perhaps this was another "new" beginning.

Planet Theia crushed Earth's civilization into dust, and the trajectory of life was completely rewritten. Surviving humans regressed through mutation, becoming ignorant beasts, yet on the shattered land, they ushered in an unimaginable accelerated evolution—the Orc Era thus began.

In this torrent of immense change, some individuals incredibly retained their pure human forms. Their bodies became vessels for spiritual energy, wielding power that transcended the era.

Ran Long was blacklisted in the industry after slapping a popular film empress. After two years of picking her feet in livestreams, an audition invitation came knocking.

It was a double female lead, same-sex themed project, involving physical exploration under the guise of painting. Ran Long wasn't homophobic, but if the other party was Qiu An, the woman she slapped, she was terrified.

Everyone said Qiu An was beautiful and kind, capable of both dignity and humility, untouched by the sordidness of the fame game. But only Ran Long knew that Qiu An was extremely cunning, ruthless, and depraved in private!

Ran Long used to be so good to her, but what about Qiu An? She exploited Ran Long's sympathy, snatched her roles, took her resources, and didn't even spare her beloved!

There was no kindness, no dignity, no 'untouched' innocence to speak of!

One day, Ran Long discovered Qiu An had a secret. Whenever Ran Long approached the director, Qiu An would send daggers with her eyes. To support the director's creative vision, Qiu An was willing to perform any scene with Ran Long, no matter how explicit.

But even during their scenes, Qiu An insisted on turning off the lights. Ran Long understood. It turned out Qiu An had an unrequited crush on the director and was using her as a stand-in.

Ran Long: "I can't take it anymore, she's such a pervert!" Qiu An: "But Xiao Ran, I..."

When Xia Zhongqin first met Lian Yijian, the man sat opposite her, wearing gold-rimmed glasses that couldn't hide the deep, bright gaze that seemed capable of seeing through people's hearts. He looked down at a resume, only half-printed, in his hand.

The next second, the man spoke, his voice a bit lazy, yet with a faint smile on his face. "Just give a simple self-introduction, no need to be nervous." It was then that Xia Zhongqin fell in love with Lian Yijian at first sight.

He dangled the "PMO position" as bait, and she, a willing fish, slowly fell deeper and grew into a senior project manager. As his PMO, she was essentially his eyes, overseeing over a hundred projects under construction in the entire Sunan area.

As the Suzhou Metro project completed its functional construction according to the implementation plan, their relationship gradually warmed. This is a story about a growth-oriented female lead and a professional 'daddy-type' male lead.

The male lead appears aloof and cunning on the surface but is genuinely gentle and refined, while the female lead is an adorable engineering student. What seems like love at first sight is actually a gradually developing, "nurturing" relationship, with their emotions progressing step by step alongside the project phases.

The story background is based on materials provided by friends.

A month later, when the true saintess returned, Yun Ti realized she had a twin sister and that she possessed the bloodline of a Demonic Phoenix! An Luoyi was the saintess of the White Phoenix tribe. She was cold and taciturn, raised from birth to be the next successor of the White Phoenix tribe.

At 16, she single-handedly stormed the Netherworld, causing widespread chaos, and became famous in one battle. At 20, she accidentally learned she had a sister and went to the mortal realm to find her. After the sisters reunited, they uncovered their past lives and true identities!

Synopsis: [Melodramatic, Crybaby Prince x Righteous Country Girl]

[Mountainous version of Pride and Prejudice | Real-life "X-Change" show]

[Mutual Redemption]

In the spring of 2010, the large-scale urban-rural exchange reality show "Exchanging Lives" was a national hit. Xu Sirui, playing games at an internet cafe, overheard girls around him discussing the show's content and scoffed: a broken variety show full of scripts and routines, yet some people actually take it seriously.

Three days later, he was tricked by his parents into a remote mountain village. A middle-aged man approached him with a film crew, his right hand extended, a wide smile on his face: "You must be Xu Sirui, the internet-addicted young master of Delicious Food Company, right? I'm the producer of "Exchanging Lives," nice to meet you! Your parents signed you up for our wayward youth reform show. For the next semester, you'll be living with a villager's family, experiencing the impoverished life in the mountains, striving to overcome your internet addiction, turn over a new leaf, and become a new person." Xu Sirui: "...?"

---

The so-called villager was a short-haired country girl, driving an ox cart, with dark skin and a plain appearance. Yet, she named herself Zhu Yingning, like the beautiful fox spirits in "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio," and her greatest hobby was upholding justice and punishing evil.

---

On Xu Sirui's first day in the mountains, Zhu Yingning thought he was an incurable, severe prince. On the second day, she suspected he was a pervert. On the fourth day, the pervert escalated to a violent maniac. Only on the fifth day did she discover he was just a blustering crybaby.

Zhu Yingning saw a glimmer of hope for his reform. She taught him to eat flowers, took him to play with firecrackers, helped him navigate peer relationships, and tried every possible way to get him back on track. Just as she was about to succeed, the show was suddenly halted, and Xu Sirui vanished without a trace.

---

They met again in the capital. She was studying alone, a "beipiao" (drifter to Beijing), her luggage a greasy snakeskin bag. Beijing was bustling, people coming and going, burying the dreams of countless outsiders. He became her first anchor in this city. Amidst the great waves of life, he uplifted her entire life.

[Reading Guide]

① The history of a prince's cure and a mountain girl's struggle. In the early stages, the male lead goes to the countryside; later, the female lead emerges from the mountains.

② The male and female leads are not perfect characters. The male lead is a late-stage prince, and the female lead is not pretty or soft. Others train the male lead like a wolfhound; the female lead trains him like a beagle.

③ This is a growth-oriented, realistic, slow-paced novel, not a fast-paced, satisfying read. It will cover the male and female leads' lives from junior high school until they enter the workforce.

④ Male lead is C (chaste), female lead status is undetermined (not guaranteed C).

⑤ More detailed trigger warnings are in the author's notes of Chapter 28.

Theme: I am born a mountain, not a stream.

Qu Chi showed outstanding athletic talent from a young age. When practicing figure skating, her teachers praised her stable center of gravity and strong musicality. When practicing track and field, her teachers said she had excellent explosiveness and great stamina.

However, Qu Chi knew all her teachers had a second half to their sentence: "Qu Chi is very talented, too bad she was born in the same era as..." For some people, being a genius is merely the threshold to meet them.

Qu Chi studied figure skating for 4 years, and in the year her older sister, Qu Tang, won the championship, she chose to switch to track and field. She practiced 100-meter sprints for 6 years, only to encounter Zhou Xinwen, a prodigy who joined the national team at 14.

Her life seemed like a joke. No matter how unwilling or how hard she worked, she could only watch the backs of geniuses, receiving only sighs from others.

Until Qu Chi started having a recurring dream. In the dream, she ran endlessly on an infinitely stretching 400-meter track. The race seemed to never end until she successfully surpassed all her opponents.

She met fans who always supported her and coaches who cherished her. She switched events once again, still in sprints, but to the longer 400-meter track. This time, she finally had the chance to reach the summit alone, even becoming the mountain that touches the sky.

Qu Chi ran from the Grand Prix to the World Championships, to the Olympics, and to world records. She was the strongest queen on this track. Like a bright moon in the sky, she was the brightest moon, not just a star, in the night sky.
