In this world where gods and demons existed and were told of amongst the humans, and the leader of the human world proclaimed himself the Son of Heaven, why would the Immortals not involve themselves? They might proclaim themselves above such things, but I have lived over a thousand years. The Immortals are a hypocritical bunch, but sensitive to violence; the Canonisation was a blood-letting of such epic proportions that rivers of blood still stained all of China.

Supernatural forces still intervened now and then. Demons and spirits had conscripted in the armies of the Han and the Western Chu. Diao Chan had seduced Lü Fengxian into murdering his foster father. Political power and the prosecution of demons had historical links; inside and outside of China are the same.

This humble servant had assisted Prime Minister Li Si and the King Zheng in the founding of the Qin dynasty.

Our great Tang dynasty was no exception, is no exception, and will not be an exception.

Second, he trod the mired path of the Darkest Path, becoming an object of fear and death. One lifetime, Two Identities, countless experiences, still without purpose. A meaningless existence. An empty husk. In his selfishness of wanting to fill the void in him, he became the catalyst that destroyed Reality. He now controlled everything, ultimate power, uncontestable by none. But he cast it away, to be reborn anew. With a new name and a family, his goal was to understand, his place. To understand how to no longer feel empty.

Mesmeree by Akatsuki_Shin04

A long time ago, it was said that at the summit of the great Mount Feng Ya, there was an immortal deity who resided within the depths of a cave. A Dragon Lord, he was, an almighty being who had lived for thousands of years. Having witnessed countless rises and falls of humanity, travelling through a long passage of time, he had gathered a mountain of treasures and knowledge that no mortal could ever dream of obtaining. He was a whimsical person, this dragon. In the long life he had lived, he had come across and mingled with many beauties from many eras, from the most bustling of cities, to the most untamed of wilderness. He was free and unrestrained; no matter what, there was none that could capture his heart. That is, until he stumbled upon a mysterious lake hidden in the deepest part of a forest brimming with pure spiritual energy. Here, he encountered a graceful, yet stubborn Lake Spirit, the most beautiful person he had seen in his life who stole his heart away at first glance.

"Now, Why Did I Transmigrate Into a Protagonist?!?" by your_spark006

Liú Zhēn, a certified novel junkie, He'd also torn into bad writing before, but Heaven's Rule? That steaming pile of cultivation nonsense had him seeing red. The protagonist, Mèng Yīchéng, had it all-perfect family, a rare Heavenly Spirit Root, and a spot at the top of the sect. Meanwhile, Mèng Xīngyào, the so-called villain, crawled through life like a cockroach only to get squashed and tossed aside like yesterday's garbage. So why was Liú Zhēn, a 20-year-old college student with a schedule more messed up than his sleep cycle, so invested? Simple: the novel sucked (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻, and tearing it apart gave him life (•̀o•́)ง. Fueled by rage and caffeine, he ranted online before going to sleep, feeling victorious. That was, until the next morning when karma decided to slap him in the face. No homework? check. Running late for class? Of course. Raining like the heavens were out for blood? You bet. (╥﹏╥) To top it off, his family ditched him, leaving him to trek through the downpour like a wet rat. In his brilliance, he chose a shortcut through an alley, where a puddle of doom awaited. In his rush, he missed the live wire lounging in the water until it zapped his sorry ass straight to an early grave. (╥﹏╥) When he opened his eyes again, he wasn't in the afterlife. Nope, he'd been dumped into the same godforsaken novel he'd just trashed. And to top it off, he'd been reborn as the protagonist. Lucky, right? Wrong. Liú Zhēn didn't want to be some hero-he just wanted to nap. But fate had other plans. Instead of a Protagonist System, he got the Villain-Biased System. Mission: rewrite the villain's ending. Plan: "Follow the damn steps." (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻. Now, stuck with a snarky system and a villain smarter than he was, Liú Zhēn realized surviving the novel was a whole different nightmare. Can he fix the villain's fate and still get a happy ending? Or will another twist knock him down? Either way, he's in for it

werr r u g0ing? by JustRead4rever

Tang Xing woke up with a furry kid under his butt. He was always open-minded, so he just let it go since he couldn't eat it anyway. In order to raise the kid, Tang Xing opened a small store in Baiyun Town, selling melon seeds, spicy noodles and instant noodles during the day, and working as a charlatan at night, drawing talismans for people to exorcise demons and exorcise evil spirits. He was nicknamed "Tang Banxian". After raising his son with great difficulty, the little guy made trouble in the kindergarten and snatched toys from other children every few days. Tang Xing scolded him and he actually ran away from home. After struggling to find the boy, Tang Xing asked cautiously: "Where are you going, kid?" The son said with a wronged look on his face: "I'm going to find my mother." Tang Xing had a headache. I am your mother, you little bastard! Li Wenqing, the new head of the special case investigation team of the police station, came over after hearing the news and said to the kid, "I'm responsible for helping you find your mother." Tang Xing had a puzzled look in his head, "Who are you?" Li Wenqing, "Your man." Tang Xing, "I'm still your dad!" Li Wenqing, "If you want to play this, it's not impossible." Tang Xing gritted his teeth and stretched out his claws, come on, this half-immortal will take you, this monster, today! Later, Tang Xing: You are too evil, I can't subdue you, I don't want to play anymore! Li Wenqing pushed him to the corner of the wall: This has just begun. Tang Xing was frightened: You are my dad, isn't it enough! Li Wenqing lowered his head, and a huge shadow with an open mouth appeared on the wall: Be good, Dad loves you.
