Regicide: Variation I

Niu Wang Maitian's Assassinate the Qin: One Style takes Zhang Yimou's film Hero as its spiritual matrix, forging the trembling arrows, overwhelming ink-wash, and splitting zither strings from the silver screen into a subversive poetic experiment. This poetry collection is not a retelling of the plot, but rather uses the sharp edge of language to dissect the philosophical core of the historical proposition of "assassinating the Qin"—when swords are deconstructed into ink dots, chessboards collapse into metaphors, and colors alienate into execution grounds, the martial arts epic completes a thrilling reincarnation in line-broken text. Niu Wang Maitian tempers the film's visual symbols into poetic weapons: the ink traces of Can Jian's calligraphy in Brush Kill transform into "the sound of bones cracking through bamboo slips"; Feixue's壮烈 death in red clothes condenses into "cinnabar scabs凝固 on silk"; the Qin palace's black hall collapses into "an iron coffin devouring light". He further reconstructs the essence of assassinating the Qin through three paradoxes: Wuming's宿命 of killing within ten steps is dismantled into "when the dagger reaches the throne before language, the king has already died by his own shadow"; Can Jian's concept of "天下" (All Under Heaven) manifests in the trembling of the pen as the ultimate question of "killing without killing"; and the cracking warp and weft in Chess Language prophesy the trap of historical cycles—when black pieces devour white ones, the spark that burns the classics crawls out from the crevice. The collection achieves genre explosion through three avant-garde poetic techniques: sword moves are compiled into line-broken grammar (long sentences sweep like pikes, short phrases stab like arrowheads), artifacts carry Zen wisdom (broken strings extend into an acoustic canyon贯穿 the poems), and history is reconstructed in liquid form (Qin seal inscriptions collapse into nebulae within ink drops). These explorations allow the martial arts soul to break free from narrative shackles and transform into a poetic vessel for Eastern philosophy. Ultimately, Assassinate the Qin: One Style carves a sharp blade mark on the landscape of contemporary Chinese poetry—it declares: the true assassination of Qin is not a flesh-and-blood struggle, but a rewriting of power narratives with the blood and bones of失败者; when poetry becomes the final weapon, "one style" is an eternal rebellion against all established boundaries.

Game of Thrones: The Legend of Jon Arctic – ASOIAF/GOT GOT

Jon Snow, a boy destined for a life of contempt by almost everyone around him, but a divine intervention can change everything. The boy who will pave the way to build the most powerful nation in the world. I crafted this story with a focus on the creation of a kingdom, battles, economy, navigation, and exploration of the entire universe of Planetos, with a central character in mind. Am I wealthy? The Stormlands, Dorne, the Reach, and the Westerlands all want to establish trade agreements with me. And the East? I have trade agreements with Braavos, Pentos, Myr, Tyrosh, Lys, and Volantis. I can negotiate with everyone in Essos, except in the Slaver's Bay after I stole 100,000 chained men from them. So, do you have enemies in Essos? About that? I indeed have quite a few. I started by stealing slaves from them, then raised a khalasar and began a bloodbath in the Dothraki Sea for fun. I was even named a Khal in Vaes Dothrak. Not to mention, the last time I went to Essos, I toppled the Titan's statue in Braavos. They wanted to stop me from destroying the House of Black and White. That day wasn't very pleasant for the Braavosi. Wow, and the kingdoms below the Wall? The Wall? It no longer exists; I brought it down a while ago. I took the North as part of my kingdom and left the South of the Neck to the Southerners. They tried to reclaim the kingdom, but now the Southerners tremble when they feel my armies on their lands. I've personally killed one or two of their kings. Really? Yes, ask what's left of Oldtown. I would answer, it turned to ashes. Lannisport? I burned it. Casterly Rock? It's at the bottom of the sea. The Twins? I blew up the entire place. King's Landing? The city is standing, but the Red Keep is history. -------------------------------------------- This Fanfic's Schedule for the week, updates on: Sunday, Tuesday and Friday. ---------------------------------------------- With gratitude and enthusiasm, Raccoon!

Surviving The Beast World With My ‘Sassy’ System

A luxury-obsessed modern woman, Lavayla Kingsley, wakes up in a brutal beast world with nothing but her pajamas, her tote bag… and a mouthy system that roasts her more than it helps. At first, she was sure it was a dream — clinging to denial. But that illusion shatters the moment she stumbles across an abandoned beast baby in the forest… right as a monstrous python slithers in to make it a snack. Lavayla — who has only ever witnessed violence through a screen — does the most human thing possible: she panics, and saves the kid anyway, at the cost of her life. That one reckless, heroic, absolutely-what-were-you-thinking act binds her fate to the Beastworld forever… because the baby she rescued just so happens to be the nephew of one of the fiercest, most powerful, and most desired Beastmen on the continent. And now? That terrifying uncle wants to know who the strange human woman cradling his bloodline is. Now she’s stuck juggling a sarcastic survival system with questionable morals, a beastbaby who somehow counts as her “first mission,” territory wars, beastman politics, and man-eating creatures. But Lavayla Kingsley is nothing if not stubborn — and if the universe thinks dropping her into a savage world with no good food, no proper shelter, no shower, no proper clothing, no wifi, and no will to live is enough to break her? Hell fucking yes it is! Someone get her out of here, please!

Taming the Beast World with a Frying Pan

Ren, a world-class chef with a low tolerance for idiots, didn't plan on dying. She definitely didn't plan on waking up in a jungle where the men have ears, tails, and absolutely zero concept of personal space. Welcome to the Beast World, where "courtship" usually involves a dead carcass at your feet and a very direct sniff of your behind. Ren’s goal? Survival. The Beastmen’s goal? Breeding. Armed only with a cast-iron skillet and a Gourmet Hunter System that trolls her as much as it helps, Ren realizes she has a unique problem. Her cooking is so good it cures the beasts' "Feral Madness." The side effect? It makes them incredibly… frustrated. Now, she’s stuck with four apex predators who look at her like she’s the main course. Ren just wants to open a restaurant and introduce civilization to these savages. Unfortunately, they’re more interested in glazing her buns than the ones in the oven. Warning: Contains heavy comedy, shameless flirting, accidental flashing, and a slow burn that will leave you as thirsty as the male leads. ----- Excerpt: "Put that down!" Ren shrieked, wielding her spatula like a sword. Kael, the massive White Tiger beastman, froze. He was currently naked, gloriously muscular, and holding her lace underwear between two sharp claws like it was a delicate flower. "This," Kael grumbled, sniffing the fabric deeply, "smells like you. But why is it so small? It covers nothing. Is this a courting gift?" "It’s a thong, you over-sized house cat! Give it back!" "No," Kael growled low in his throat, his golden eyes darkening with heat as he stepped closer, backing her into the kitchen counter. "If you want it back, you’ll have to take it from me. Preferably with your teeth." [System Notification: The Target 'Kael' has entered Mating Heat. Recommended Action: Run... or appease the beast.] Ren looked at the system screen, then at the eight-pack abs in front of her. "I hate this world." ** Let's Connect: Instagram: dolly_.roma Discord: DollyRoma#7887

Princess’s Struggle for Survival

Imagine waking up as the villain in your sister's cheesy fantasy novel. Yeah, not ideal, especially when that villain is destined for hatred, and a grim end in some forgotten dungeon. That's Astrid's new reality. Her old life? Gone. Her new mission? Survive. And step one means throwing the original script out the window. But changing fate is way harder than it sounds. In a desperate move, Astrid makes the story's heroine, Lyra, her personal maid. Clever, right? Except teaching Lyra magic and treating her like, well, a person, backfires spectacularly. Lyra's gratitude twists into something intense, dark, and possessive. And she's not the only one. Astrid tries mending fences with her powerful aunt, only to find herself smothered by a love that feels dangerously close to madness. Even her ambitious half-sister, originally her rival, gets weirdly attached after Astrid shows her a bit of warmth and helps her gain power using some modern-world smarts. Astrid thought she was being clever, building alliances, creating intelligence networks, rewriting roles. She is changing the story, but it's warping everyone around her. Their loyalty? It's becoming obsession. Their affection? A dangerous fixation. Now, Astrid isn't just fighting the plot. She's drowning in a mess of her own making – caught between people who crave her, tangled in lies and affections twisted way out of shape. Everyone wants her, and sharing isn't remotely on their agenda.

The Villain's Scripture: I Became the Tyrant Demon Prince

"Your Highness! Why did you annihilate the Iron Fortress?" "Because it was blocking my view of the sunset. It was annoying." "To destroy a strategic stronghold just for... the view? As expected of the 7th Prince! Such terrifying dominance!" ...I really just wanted to see the sunset, but now everyone thinks I’m a tactical genius. I was a modern guy who just wanted an easy life. Then I woke up in the body of Valerius Lucifer, the 7th Demon Prince in the novel The Sword of Dawn. The good news? I’m royalty. The bad news? I’m the "Pig Prince"—a fat, lazy tutorial boss destined to be slaughtered by the Hero in Volume 3. I have three days before an assassin comes to take my head. I have zero combat experience, blocked mana channels, and a reputation as trash. But I have something the original Valerius didn't: [Gluttony of the Monarch]. While others train for years to gain a single Star of strength, I just need to eat. Devour enemies. Absorb skills. Plunder stats. My plan is simple: Use my cheat ability to get strong fast. Crush the arrogant siblings trying to kill me. Secure a comfortable, luxurious retirement before the Hero shows up. But why does every lazy decision I make end up conquering a kingdom? I just want to chill, so why do these terrifying Demon Generals keep kneeling before me?! [Expect: Anti-Hero, Kingdom Building, Misunderstanding Comedy, Weak-to-Strong, and a protagonist who is only ruthless because he hates being bothered.]
