Retribution does not shout. It does not warn. It waits. In his first life, he destroyed his own family with anger he never controlled. Five years after losing everything, he died saving a stranger’s child. One selfless act. Too late. Death did not bring heaven. It did not bring hell. It brought judgment. “Resolve what remains.” Reborn in a frozen mountain village with nothing—no talent, no wealth, no protection—he learns the truth: This is not a second chance. It is repayment. At six years old, he chooses to protect a weaker child and endures the beating himself. No reward comes. His mother falls ill. His father dies searching for medicine. The medicine fails anyway. Kindness does not stop suffering. Goodness does not bend fate. Standing alone before two graves, hatred rises within him. In his first life, he chose rage. In this one— He chooses control. But karma is not sentimental. It is precise. Every action adds weight. Every choice reshapes destiny. If merit can be earned… If debt can be reduced… If karma can be transcended— Then he will climb beyond consequence itself. Power will come. But first, discipline. Because retribution always comes late. And this time— He will be ready.

In the 170th year of Yong’an of the Great Wei Dynasty, a secret scandal broke out within a princely household, one that shook both the imperial court and the immortal sects alike. The only son of the Northern Garrison Prince, infamous throughout the realm as utterly worthless and rotten to the core, was in truth the lowly son of a stable slave, switched at birth years ago by the Demonic Sect. The real heir, meanwhile, turned out to be a true disciple of a Sage, newly appointed top Scholar, having already cultivated a breath of Righteous Qi of the Vast Heavens. For a time, all of Great Wei erupted in jubilation. People everywhere congratulated the princely household on rectifying the origin and returning to the source, on finally recovering their qilin-born prodigy. ....... “Yeah, it really is worth celebrating, if only this so-called fake heir weren’t me.” Gu Fangchen faced the Northern Garrison Prince and the true heir who had come to confront him, then glanced at the randomly assigned profession hovering above his head: [Emperor (1 day)] [Skill One: Mandate of Heaven (Passive)] [Skill Two: Power of Life and Death (Active)] That year, the Northern Garrison Princess Consort was still gentle as water, doting on her child to the point of indulgence. The Eldest Princess was cold as frost, proud and aloof, a single smile worth a fortune. The Younger Princess was sweet, foolishly adorable, obsessed with heroic young knights, and most of all despised shameless villains. The Grand Princess struck fear across battlefields as a peerless war god. The female State Preceptor could overturn clouds and rain with a mere turn of her hand. The moment Gu Fangchen opened his eyes, he knew it: He had transmigrated to become an emperor. Those who follow me shall prosper. Those who oppose me shall perish.

They buried the Third Prince alive the moment the poison took him. Good thing he wasn't the same man who drank that cup. Tang Liu wakes up in a corpse with shattered meridians, a dynasty in flames, and a system that doesn't offer handouts—only choices. Three paths, every time. The righteous one that builds empires slowly. The chaotic one that burns bridges for quick power. And the primordial one that offers rewards from before the universe existed... for a price he won't understand until it's too late. His father is dying. His uncle wants the throne. His fiancée—a saintess forced on him by political treaty—looks at him like she's already planning his funeral. She should. She's a reincarnated demon empress who's forgotten more about murder than most cultivators will ever learn. The court steals from him. His guards abandon him. Assassins treat his palace like a training ground. They think he's a cripple playing politics while he fades away. They don't know about the breathing technique that lets him cultivate while they plot. They don't know about the blade that cuts through spiritual defenses like silk. They don't know that every choice he makes is turning him into something the Nine Heavens hasn't seen since before the first immortal drew breath. By the time they realize the Cripple Prince was never weak, he won't be asking for their apologies. He'll be asking for their heads. The only question is which path he'll take to get them—and who he'll have to become along the way.

Xiao Shan is just a lowly outer disciple at the Tian Feng Sect, destined for a life of endless toil. But his world is turned upside down when he unexpectedly inherits the memories of a powerful cultivator. He's thrust into a bewildering reality, grappling with fragmented visions of a life he never lived.

Many years after the era of immortal cultivation, one day someone carelessly asked the Demon Queen, “I heard that the First Lady of the Demon Realm is your dear sister-friend?” Upon hearing this, the Demon Queen's eyebrows shot up and her almond-shaped eyes widened, “Dear sister-friend my ass, she stole my man!” No sooner had she spoken these words than the exceptionally handsome man beside her slowly shifted his gaze from the book in his hands and cast her a fleeting glance, making the inquirer feel as if the temperature in the hall had suddenly dropped, and their body had plunged into an icy cavern... The Demon Queen glared at the man nonchalantly, “Did I say something wrong?” It later became known that the Demon King's wife and the Demon Queen were once close friends who became enemies over a man, a scandal that spread across all realms. Then someone with a death wish approached the First Lady of the Demon Realm, who always looked gentle and kind, and asked, “Madam, I heard that it was the Wolf Clan's Demon Queen who brought you to this realm back in the day, and that afterwards you both ventured through various realms together, facing life and death side by side as sworn sisters. But later... I heard that you and her... had a falling out over a man?” With a slight smile, the Demon King's wife gently sipped from her white porcelain teacup and said, “Did she say I stole her man?” After nodding in acknowledgment, “That is indeed the case!” The listener was taken aback, internally exclaiming, “So the rumors are true, did our Madam Wang actually have an affair with that Demon Queen?” While lost in thought, the listener heard the tea-drinker add another sentence, “But... she also stole my man after all!” The questioner's eyes widened, and their mouth gaped open. Before they could even take a breath of cool air in shock, So you two were swapping partners? At that moment, a sudden loud bang came from outside, and a voice bellowed like a mighty bell, “Boom...” “You said... who is your man?”

Nine Realms Sword Emperor, a legend returns, leveling everything. Genius monsters, trampled underfoot, powerful beings, wiped out with a wave of a hand. If people do not offend me, I will not offend them; if people do offend me, annihilate their entire family.

This is a bizarre and mysterious world filled with various sinister cultivation methods. Once a person begins to cultivate, they will either undergo mild changes in appearance and temperament, descend into madness, or become a great elixir for evil beings to consume... Duan Yun, having transmigrated into this world, unexpectedly comes across a supreme elixir cultivation manual, the 'True Explanation of the Jade Sword.' To his surprise, he is a one-in-a-million cultivation genius who, unwittingly, transforms the manual into something extraordinary. Guided by the Jade Sword, he is able to pierce through everything. Later, as his mastery over various methods grows, Duan Yun, carrying the philosophy of 'the enlightened benefit the world,' never keeps secrets and spreads martial arts across the land. Who would have thought... "Duan the Demon misled me! He said this technique enhances yin and yang, but now I can only squat to pee, boo hoo..." "It was the Demon who taught me this 'Seven Parts Returning Qi'. Instead of blessing me, it brought disaster—I either get killed or step in dung. The fortune-teller said I've lost seventy percent of my luck." "Don't trust a word of what Demon Duan says! The fairy of the Myriad Wonders Palace was supposed to ascend the whole palace to the heavens, but in one night, she was possessed and turned into a demoness, all due to that old demon Duan's handiwork!" ... Duan Yun finds this incomprehensible. All he did was practice martial arts, spread techniques, and occasionally emulate the laws of nature, so how did he become notorious as a demon? This is slander! The same techniques cause no issues for me, so the problem lies with you all, not me!
