Cultivation Start From Archery

Chen Sanshi transmigrated into a chaotic world at the end of a dying dynasty. Fortunately, he had the Grinding System by his side. At first, he just wanted to make a living by hunting—earn some money, and one day join a martial arts school to learn a bit of fist and kickwork. His dream was simple: to become a modestly wealthy man who could live comfortably. But heaven never follows one’s wishes. Officials were greedy and oppressive, martial schools bullied commoners, and to survive, Chen Sanshi had no choice but to enlist in the army, becoming an archer. Starting from [Archery (Beginner)], he ground day and night until he reached [Ten-Thousand-Stone Bow—Every Arrow Unavoidable]. He could shoot down an enemy general’s head from one hundred li (about 50 kilometers) away! From [Basic Spearsmanship for Infantry], he pushed himself beyond limits until he mastered [Dragon Spear of Nation-Suppression—The More He Fights, the Braver He Becomes]. Standing firm with his spear on horseback, he alone could roar and make one million enemies retreat! Years later, Chen Sanshi had fought north and south across countless battlefields. He was now unmatched under heaven, commanding two hundred thousand elite iron cavalry. As his generals draped the imperial yellow robe over his shoulders, he looked helplessly at them and sighed, “You all… you’ve really made me suffer, you know?” ______________________________________________________________________ You can read advance chapters of this novel and other novels in my patreon patreon.com/NO_NAME1412

I'll Be the Beginning and the End

I died the same way I lived, quietly, exhausted, and carrying burdens that were never mine to begin with. There was no room for dreams in my life. While others chased happy endings and comforting fantasies, I was too busy surviving. I used to resent romance novels, their sheltered heroines grieving over problems I would have gladly traded places to have. Then I woke up inside one. Reborn into the very novel I once read on sleepless nights, I found myself in the body of a side character whose fate was already decided. The ending of this story is no mystery to me. I have seen who rises, who falls, and who is forgotten. Among them was the original Alteraz. A girl destined to be left behind. But that fate does not belong to me. One lifetime was already spent with empty hands. Another will not be wasted on hesitation, fear, or misplaced sentiment. This world already has a heroine. A girl blessed with everything others can only dream of. Yet time and time again, she turns away from what others would kill to keep. If she chooses to let those opportunities slip through her fingers, I will claim them myself. The story may have chosen her, but remaining in her shadow was never an option. Every opportunity this world offers will be mine to seize. I will climb higher than anyone expects. Should fate try to cast me aside, it will learn how difficult I am to erase. After all, I was never meant to be the heroine. So I'll take everything that was meant for her instead.

Ghost in the palace

Ananya never expected death to bring her into another life. One moment, she was running her parents’ restaurant in the modern world. The next, she opened her eyes in silk robes, surrounded by hostile stares — the Queen Consort of the empire. But this body was cursed in everyone’s eyes. The Emperor loathed her. The mistress laughed at her. And the court whispered behind her back. Only she wasn’t truly alone. > “Finally, someone can see us!” “What kind of Queen Consort are you, so calm even with ghosts in your chamber?” “Shut up, Wei Rong, let her breathe. She looks like she’s about to faint.” Three ghosts — a stoic scholar, a brash general, and a mischievous noble girl — lingered at her side. They were invisible to all but her. And with them, she learned to survive the poisonous palace. When rumors spread that she was cursed, Ananya stood before the empire’s court. Instead of tears, she offered proof. Instead of fear, she offered dignity. > “If Heaven believes I am cursed, let the fire and smoke betray me. I will not hide.” And Heaven sided with her. Outside the palace, crises struck — starving soldiers, missing supplies, merchants growing fat from stolen grain. Inside, Lady Zhen, the Emperor’s favored mistress, grew bolder by the day, flaunting her beauty and mocking Ananya’s quiet grace. > “Sister, do you still dream of winning His Majesty’s heart? Look at you — plain, dull, unworthy.” “If simplicity is a crime, then let it be mine,” Ananya answered, unshaken. The Emperor indulged Lady Zhen openly… but in the silence of night, he tasted Ananya’s food, lingered at her table, and found himself unsettled by her calm. > “This is not palace fare,” he muttered. “It is lighter,” Ananya replied softly. “Easier to sleep after.” Step by step, conspiracy thickened. At a grand banquet, a poisoned cup was placed in Ananya’s hand. But a ghost’s laugh echoed in her ear — and the cup was swapped. A dancer collapsed instead. From that night on, the Emperor’s gaze changed. He began to notice the woman who never begged for favor, never fought for attention, yet always endured. Still, war brewed at the borders. Betrayals reached even the throne. Assassins crept through the palace halls. And the one person who seemed weakest became the calm at the center of the storm. Through whispered secrets, mischievous hauntings, and quiet resilience, Ananya carved her place in the empire. She would not simply survive. She would rise. And the Emperor who once despised her would one day whisper only her name.

IRENE'S SECRET

In the shadows of the magnificent Kingdom of Eskard, known for its opulence and beauty, Irene was the sin that everyone pretended to forget. Born from a tragedy, she watched as her father the tyrant King Arxon slaughtered her mother’s entire family before her very eyes, yet he spared Irene only to sway public opinion in his favor before the kingdoms. She remained the illegitimate daughter, the one who constantly reminded the King of the forbidden love that shook his throne to its core. Until the day he decided to use her once more as a political pawn, plotting to seize the lands of the neighboring kingdom and paving the way for a more ruthless plan to expand his influence. She was forced into a marriage of convenience with General Lucas Theodore Valerian; the nephew of the neighboring kingdom's King and a cold commander who kept his heart veiled behind the memory of a past love, entirely indifferent to her existence. Within the royal court, she was seen as nothing more than "the wife with the pretty face" or "the forgotten princess." Yet, she carried within her a hidden strength—a secret power that made her see her isolation and neglect as the "freedom" she needed to execute her plan quietly. Behind the palace walls, Irene began weaving her web to dismantle her father’s throne and avenge her mother’s blood. So, will the girl with the mixed blood succeed in exacting revenge for a family punished for a sin she never committed? And how will the relationship between her and Lucas two enemies bound by a political contract evolve into something much deeper?
