In the waves of steam and machinery, who could achieve extraordinary? In the fogs of history and darkness, who was whispering? I woke up from the realm of mysteries and opened my eyes to the world.
Firearms, cannons, battleships, airships, and difference machines. Potions, divination, curses, hanged-man, and sealed artifacts… The lights shone brightly, yet the secrets of the world were never far away. This was a legend of the “fool”.
Rumor had it that Qiao Xi had a weak constitution—a sickly beauty. Rumor had it that she spent a fortune every day on medications—eating them like candy. Rumor had it that ten servants waited on her by her bed every day—a burden to everyone. They were all waiting for the Qiao family to toss Qiao Xi back to the countryside and leave her to fend for herself.
Qiao Xi: "They're all saying that I'm weak and can't take care of myself. Apparently, I spend money recklessly as well.”
She looked down at her tattered shirt and was exasperated.
Qiao Xi: “Are you saying that this wealthy family lets their daughter wear tattered clothes every day?”
The Qiao family's rich daughter? She had enough! She would not be it anymore! Therefore…
Scumbag guy: "Without the Qiao family, you're nothing."
Qiao Xi: "If I'm kicked out of the Qiao family, I'll be done for."
Scumbag girl: "Sis, don't be too disappointed. As long as you work hard, you'll be praised one day.”
Qiao Xi: "Shut up, I don't know a traitor like you."
The scumbag guy and girl: "???"
Rumor had it that the Gu family's youngest son, Gu Zheng, rashly married a woman who had nothing but looks.
Qiao Xi: "Is someone looking down on me?"
One day, Qiao Xi saw one of Gu Zheng's employees racking his brains over a series of numbers on the computer screen. Since she was free, she lent a hand.
Did she just crack the firewall created by the joint efforts of top elite hackers?!
Gu Zheng inched closer with every step. "Qiao Xi, what else are you hiding from me? Hmm?"
Qiao Xi: "Oh, no! I feel dizzy again! I'm so weak. This body of mine is just too weak!"
To rise from defeat; to revive amidst the dissipation.
As the vast oceans turn to dust and the thunder and lightning fade away,
That strand of spiritual mist once again approaches our great world.
With the shackles that bound our world now severed—
A whole new world of mystery and wonder awaits,
As we turn the corner…

The Sacred Ruins is a story set in a post-apocalyptic world. A world that has recovered to a state that is roughly equal to our own world in terms of technology and culture, although its ancient history remains largely unknown. The story begins during the post-graduation trip of our protagonist, where he discovers some ancient ruins and witnesses “the great change”, an upheaval that changed everything. The changing earth not only brought about new, unexplored landscape but also sparked the evolution of all organisms. Plants and animals started gaining sentience and some humans obtained unimaginable powers. The legends, myths, and tales of old seemed to have suddenly come to life as the earth entered a new era where beasts and men formed factions, explored new lands and ultimately struggled for supremacy.
We follow the MC as he grows from being an eccentric young man into a badass expert warrior while meeting other funny characters and forming brotherly bonds. We watch as he falls into just as much hilarious situations as he does perilous ones, all the while wondering and slowly discovering the mysteries of this world. Just why was the world destroyed in the first place? Who or what had triggered this earth-shattering “change”? What profundities lie behind the process of evolution?

Previously, Jian Yiling was the supporting character who was destined to be cannon fodder. However now, with the memories of future events, Jian Yiling who had crossed into the novel transformed into a hidden big shot. Not only is Jian Yiling not interested in the male protagonist, but she also leaves the people around her in astonishment and bewilderment.
Originally, her brothers hated her. Now, they were all fiercely protective of her.
“Yiling gets frightened easily. Don’t scare her.”
“Yiling hasn’t been to distant places. Don’t scam her.”
“Yiling has a weak body. Don’t bully her.”
Everyone else wanted to cry in disbelief. Are you sure that she is cute and easily bullied? Who dares to bully her! When they all thought that the Jian brothers were enough to deal with, there was another one that topped the rest.
Master Sheng: “Yiling is very delicate. She shouldn’t be angered. If you make her angry, I’ll cut you up and make you into a broth!”
Everyone else: “Master Sheng, I think there’s something wrong with your eyes! I recommend you to go to the ophthalmologist!”

“Yes!”
“Discovered the Demonic Body of the Hellbound Domination Emperor, loot to receive Sun-swallowing Cerberus, extract?”
“Yes!”

What’s not to love about my new life after transmigrating into a Pet-centered world?
There are mighty creatures that come in all shapes and sizes. They can either be cuddly companions, helpers in your daily life, daring scouts or strong fighters. Or all of the above. Not bad, huh?
I have a family, but the fact is completely overshadowed by my younger sister. She thoroughly hates my guts, and she makes sure that I know this. Every. Single. Day.
Did I mention that she’s disgustingly talented while I am a bottom feeder? A terribly handsome one at that.
I have free rein to run the family business on my own. A small and quaint Pet Store. It should have been great if not for the fact that the previous owner of this body was born with ZERO affinity to handle Astral Pets…
It wouldn’t be a proper transmigration without a gimmick or a system to pave my road to greatness, don’t you think? I have one, but I don’t know if I would be better off without it…
Easily cowed and bullied, she was the useless, ugly woman with no talent in medical skills. Supported by millions, he was Tianning’s most respected duke with the power to move all under Heaven. On their wedding day the bridal sedan was carried to the front doors, but the Duke of Qin’s gates were shut tight.
They told her, ‘Come back tomorrow.’
All alone, she walked step-by-step full of pride through the duke’s doors. Little could they imagine, this unattractive good-for-nothing was a beautiful, genius doctor of poisons!
—
After transmigrating to the past, poisons expert Han Yunxi finds herself on the verge of being married off to the country’s second most powerful man, the Duke of Qin. Her future life seems set–except her husband is an unfeeling ice block, her in-laws think she’s a eyesore, the empress dowager wants to use her for her own goals, and poison-related plots abound.
Alone, the intelligent (and sensible) Yunxi must carve her own space from the intricate web of court intrigue and the jianghu, relying on her words, wits, and wisdom to survive. Adapt when necessary, use force when required; to survive and thrive is the name of the game to a prosperous life.
No matter what, she’ll prove her right to live!
There is a very strange restaurant in the City of Sin.
Elves and dwarves must share a table, orcs are strangely well behaved, dragons are only welcomed on the small square in front of the restaurant, and the demons must bring their own stool.
This strange restaurant with their strange rules continuous to attract a long line of customers.
“This place serves the best food! The chef of this restaurant is a genius!” Some of the guests in the restaurant left glowing reviews. But these guests have a word of warning for other guests, “No matter what you do, never, never attempt to kidnap the boss or try to ‘eat and run’. You will die.”
A cute little girl stood near the door, and demanded in her tiny voice, “You have eaten the food, now pay up, or I will beat you to death.” The five-meter tall dragon suddenly felt a chill running up its spine.
1 drop of blood = 1-Up
Other people game overnight, I game overnight and bleed.
Ever since the dimensional storms descended upon Earth, numerous dimensional zones have appeared, bringing with them all kinds of dimensional creatures—Immortals, Buddhas, Devils, Angels, Elves, etc.
Yet, all these strange dimensional zones can turn into dungeon instances on my phone. Other people risk their lives adventuring, I spend all my time gaming.
Monsters drop dimensional crystals that boost stats, imbue new skills, and join me as Companion Beasts. These Companion Beasts fight alongside me or alone, augmenting me with their skills and strength. Rare monsters in real life? I’ll just restart the game with a drop of blood to grind it.
I really need a blood transfusion.

She was forced by her husband and his mistress to jump into the sea and commit suicide, only to be rescued and taken care of by the jerk's uncle for seven years.
He had become her backer and protected her meticulously. For seven years, no one dared to look down on her.
Her reputation was tarnished. She had a miscarriage and divorced before. The scumbag ex-husband was also his nephew.
On the other hand, he would not marry anyone other than her. He did not care about rumors and barbaric words, and for this, he did not hesitate to go against the entire clan.
…
Initially, she thought that the most tragic thing in life was to love the wrong person.
Later on, she realized that it wasn't. It turned out that the most tragic thing was that you finally found true love, but at that time, you were covered in wounds.
She was as cold as ice and he was passionate as fire.
She had persisted for seven years, and so had he.
In the end, she still lost to that persistent flame and agreed to marry him.
However, the night before they were about to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate, she woke up and returned ten years ago.
That year, she was in the prime of her youth. She was still as beautiful as ever, and her youth was not wasted.
That year, he was handsome and promising.
She looked at herself in front of the mirror and silently cried. "Uncle, this time, I'll give you the best.”
“Commander Lu, there are rumors that we are sleeping together, we have a fling!”
He looked up from under the blanket and slowly got up. “What do you want from me?”
“Deny it, say it’s fake, stop it from spreading…”
He pushed her against the wall, blocking her mouth by a rough kiss. “Mrs. Lu, we have to substantiate the rumor.”
Before she was born again, what she had been doing was staying away from him!
After she was born again, what she always wanted to do was give him offsprings!
Lu Xingzhi strived for two personal mottos his entire life:
First, it was illegal to undermine military marriage.
Two, Jiang Yao was his in this eternity, till death do they part.
