Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! Character driven, before plot! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same. ──── ୨୧ ──── There are occasional illustrations littered throughout the novel drawn by me (slowly commissioning to get others done), usually found in the comments! !!CREDIT!! Cover Art by @Sayoto (VGen) Illustrations by me (@meowssey) and zaza (@zazhah) (Both commissioned artists are amazing to work with and I highly recommend their work!)

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.

By very good fortune, he obtained a cultivation technique called Myriad Manifestations Devouring Heaven Technique, and thus began a different path of cultivation.

Han Liang came to Ying Mountain on a mission. Yuan Yu was never supposed to be part of it. One carries the blood of the White Dragon. The other hears what jade stones remember—fragments of the past, and whispers of what has yet to come. Their paths cross beneath falling peach blossoms. A rooftop. A single glance. A moment that should have meant nothing. It didn't. As the truth begins to surface, the past refuses to remain in the past. Old betrayals and old revenge awaken once more, while the shadows surrounding the Imperial Palace grow ever darker. In a world ruled by powerful sects, ancient bloodlines, and wars fought from the shadows, some connections are more dangerous than open enemies. And some things, once begun, cannot be stopped. A slow-burn BL wuxia romance of political intrigue, hidden powers, palace conspiracies, ancient bloodlines, revenge, and a pomegranate tree planted long before either of them knew why.

In the cultivation world, Zhou Xun dreams of a mysterious technique three times, and on the third night, he finally comprehends it—the Spring Condensation Scripture. With this scripture, he can draw pure essence from plants to strengthen his cultivation and solidify his foundation. The only problem is that before he can start cultivating in earnest, he needs to find a job to support himself

When the devastatingly beautiful and arrogant Master of the Valley of Shades dies and is reborn into a top-tier modern family. She is a queen of peerless beauty, yet cold-hearted and ruthless; she is also a master of both poison and medicine. She saves people only based on her mood; she gives her all to her friends and family; she will follow her lover through life and death, even if it means betraying the whole world.

When the cold-hearted and ruthless she meets the domineering and aloof him, will it be a clash of titans, turning them into rivals, or will the powerhouses unite, bound together through life and death? [The Pampering Snippet] Seraphina Ashworth snuggled lazily in Caden Reginald's arms, looked up at him, and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Caden, they all say you've spoiled me rotten, that I'm a femme fatale who runs wild because of your backing." Caden Reginald reached out and stroked Seraphina Ashworth's long hair, saying dotingly, "Who said that? I intend to spoil you so rotten that you can't leave me. That way, you'll be mine and mine alone." Seraphina Ashworth wrapped her arms around Caden Reginald's neck and said with a smile, "You're so domineering, but I love it." After speaking, she planted a kiss on his cheek.

After three long years of drought, the Cangyun Country finally welcomes the prophesied blessed girl—the one foretold by a Daoist priest to change the fate of the nation. But fate is cruel. The blessed girl, Shen Ningning, is stolen and abandoned in the deep mountains just after birth. Though she is later taken in by a kindhearted family, her days are filled with relentless verbal and physical abuse from a vicious aunt, pushing her to the brink of death. At last, unable to bear the sight any longer, a passing wolf pack carries the fragile child away—and from that moment on, she is fiercely cherished and protected. And little Ningning is no ordinary child. The wolves have nothing to eat? No problem. With billions of supplies stored in her interdimensional space, food and clothing are never in short supply. A long drought leaves rivers dry and crops withered? She simply summons the Spiritual Spring to nourish the entire mountain. Too poor and lacking money? One Spirit Grass fetches a thousand taels of gold, and wealthy merchants compete to buy from her. An enemy nation dares to invade? No need to worry—she quietly produces gunpowder and sends them flying into the sky. When a scheming “white lotus” tries to steal her identity as the blessed girl, her powerful birth family finally arrives. Her biological father—the Prime Minister—dotes on her without restraint and punishes the wicked without mercy. When asked about her dreams, Shen Ningning answers without hesitation: “To raise Langlang, earn lots of money, save lives, and crush scoundrels!” Meanwhile, the hot-tempered Crown Prince Mo Lingwei watches over her silently. “My dream,” he says, “is to protect my Ah Ning—even if it means giving up the entire kingdom.”

She sees the flowers filling the courtyard, just like the day he lifted her veil, and she hears cheerful laughter, reminiscent of the years he was by her side.

She doesn't want to raise other people's children, she wants their own son. If she could go back to the past, she would never let her husband die in vain, and would never let the enemy have a good end!

Yu Jiuqing was a prodigy among men, becoming Prime Minister at a young age, and an object of admiration for all under heaven.
