Life is ironic. Love and hatred are but two sides of the same coin. Emotions change quickly.
Sometimes she was too slow, maybe that was why she didn’t see it coming.

To the one she thought she knew, the wounded her ended up saying,
“You were my one and only real friend, I thought I was yours too.”
“… You are right. And because you are, I need you to die,” he had answered.
***
To the one she thought would never understand her, the suffering her requested,
“A lie. Just a last one, before my death... Lie to me again.” Despite the pain, the smile on her face was sweet, a genuine one as she made that plea.
“I love you,” he had whispered.

After her father was framed for poisoning the Prime Minister's son to death, Ning Qingyu was hit on the back of the head by the "officers" who came to arrest their family.
Upon waking up, she feigned madness in order to escape persecution.
Later, she married the comatose Marquis of Zhenbei, whose birth charts matched hers perfectly.
A halfwit thus ended up marrying a comatose guy.
Xiao Yu seemed to hear someone calling him from the darkness. That voice was saying: “If you want to live, hold on until I can make the antidote.”

Yin Qingle fell in love with the male supporting character Yan Buzhi from a novel, crying every day over his tragic life.
Yan Buzhi was the young master of the Xuan Chi Sect, extraordinarily talented and a rare gem. Only when the sect master’s biological son was found did he realize he was just a disposable stand-in.
He was forcefully stripped of his spiritual root, inflicted with a cold poison, and took the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation in place of the real heir, plunging into an abyss thereafter.Yan Buzhi endured immense humiliation, turned to demonic cultivation, and became a feared evil spirit in the cultivation world. Ultimately, he was killed jointly by the male and female protagonists. Before his death, he had nothing but received the remark: “Fate plays with men.”
Yin Qingle: “Wuu wuu wuu, my dear Zhi Zhi’s life is so hard, don’t cry, mommy will hold you.”
The next day, she woke up to find herself transmigrated. Her mission: to conquer Yan Buzhi in order to return home.Yin Qingle: “…Is there such a good thing?”
Not long after receiving the mission, a bloodied Yan Buzhi fell from the sky.
Having fallen off a cliff, the weak and soon-to-be corrupted Yan Buzhi in the valley coldly rejected her approach with three phrases:”Go away, don’t touch me, or I’ll kill you.”
But Yin Qingle didn’t leave; instead, she hugged him and kissed him on the forehead.
Yan Buzhi: “??”
Later, Yan Buzhi harbored a secret in his heart; he fell in love with the bright and sunny girl beside him.
He knew she liked his flawless, ethereal demeanor. But she didn’t know his mind was filled with dirty, despicable thoughts, not meant for others to hear.
When he could no longer contain himself, he laid bare his soul in front of Yin Qingle. She widened her eyes: “That’s it?”
“I already knew.” She pressed against him and kissed him without allowing any resistance.
Yan Buzhi: “???!!”

“Brother, you are a disgrace to our empire!” the Emperor roared, his voice echoing in the throne room. “You drown yourself in wine while your niece, the brightest jewel of the empire, is being courted by geniuses and kings!”
Leaning lazily against a pillar, Wei Feng took a long swig from his wine jug and let out a discreet burp.
“Mmm... And what’s the problem?” he replied, his voice slurred. “Those ‘geniuses’ are just noisy peacocks. And as for the jewel of the empire... she already has an owner.”
Wei Feng, the Drunken Prince, the Royal Failure who renounced the throne. Everyone in the empire sees him as a useless parasite. What they don’t know is that, in the shadows, this decadent prince is building a collection of the most powerful, beautiful, and dangerous women the world has ever known.
And the first piece in his collection, the most precious and forbidden, is the Crown Princess herself.
“The heavens could strike me down with a thousand bolts of lightning, and the ancestors could curse my name for ten thousand years...” he whispered to her one night, his warm breath against her earlobe as her body trembled under his touch. He paused, a smile that could almost be felt in the darkness. “...and still, every second of this sin with you would be worth it. Let them call me a demon. What kind of demon wouldn’t enjoy corrupting an angel?”

"And what do you know about harmonizing?" Xiao Yue looked at him as if he had just spit on her ancestor's grave.
"Me? I'm the CEO of the Inner Dao. I have a Master's in Spiritual Synergy and a triple Ph.D. in Multitasking Cultivation, with honors in 'Qi Optimization Under Pressure.' Should I show you my resume, or would you prefer a PowerPoint presentation on my celestial achievements?"
Kenji Tanaka was a Japanese CEO with the soul of a spreadsheet: cold, analytical, and completely allergic to improvisation. He died like any good executive: from an excess of meetings.
Now, he's Lian, a nobody in a world of cultivators, dragons, absurd sects, and spiritual manuals that take ten lifetimes to read.
Martial talent? Zero. Ability to shatter mountains with a single blow? Nil. A master plan to turn chaos into a celestial startup, KPIs and all? Absolutely.
They are the unstoppable force.
He is the guy with the plan, the tea, and the to-do list.
While his harem of martial geniuses smashes armies as if they were piñatas, Lian optimizes formations, improves techniques, manages internal conflicts, and turns alchemy into a production line.
He doesn't fight, he doesn't scream, he doesn't cultivate like a madman. He outsources the violence.
Because cultivating like crazy is optional, but leading with efficiency is mandatory.
