Shu Yue, the scion of a declining, once-powerful clan, conceals her true identity in pursuit of revenge. Armed with her clan's secret martial art, a sharp wit, and a faithful fox-human servant, the ambitious heiress seeks to restore their lost glory--and she will stop at nothing to succeed.

But the game changes when a new player emerges. Shu Yue finds herself caught in a game of cat and mouse with the deadliest and most cunning foe yet. To protect her secrets, she must outwit the hidden enemy and unmask the man pulling the strings behind the scenes. But Shu Yue is not the only one with a secret, and most definitely not the only one thirsty for vengeance and power.

Ascension of the Evil Sect Lord by csdunkirk

Kai Feng was just an ordinary librarian-content with his uneventful life, buried in books and avoiding excitement. That is, until he stumbled upon an ancient manuscript that should not have existed. The moment he turned its final page, his world was consumed by light. Frozen in time, caught in a battle between mysterious factions, he could do nothing but watch as powerful cultivators fought over his fate. Then, he awoke-not in his library, but in an unknown world, face-to-face with a mischievous old master who forced him through years of training. With no choice but to adapt, Kai learned to harness Qi, master deadly techniques, and awaken abilities beyond his imagination. When he finally returned, three years had passed-but only moments in the real world. Now, powerful sects and unseen forces are moving, their eyes locked onto him. Thrust into a world of sect wars, betrayals, and ancient secrets, Kai must carve his own path. Unfortunately for the righteous cultivators who stand in his way... he has been chosen as the next leader of the most feared evil sect. Can an indifferent bookworm truly become the Evil Sect Lord? Or will he redefine what it means to wield power? 🔥 Martial Arts | Cultivation | LitRPG | Sect Wars | Power Struggles 🔥

Vile Dominion by myNameisAnonymous03

Disclaimer: This is my own work, if a character seem to be similar, it may be due to a coincidence or may also be because I was inspired of their work. I tried my best to make a unique content. In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide-navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world's control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)
