The Literary PhD in Ancient China: Saving Cities, Stirring Courts, and Rising as a Minister Through Wit Plot:

Lin Zhao, a literary PhD, wakes up as a penniless scholar in ancient China. No sooner has he become a minor county official than his county is besieged by bandits—the prefect flees, soldiers cower in fear, and the people wait绝望ly for death. Using the "Empty Fort Strategy" from *The Art of War* and defensive techniques from *Mozi*, he organizes the elderly, women, and children to set up decoys and light beacons, surprisingly scaring off a thousand bandits! This feat catches the Northern Prince's attention, who drags him to the capital, only to get him entangled in the deadly power struggle between the crown prince and the prime minister over the throne. Lin Zhao uses his modern literary knowledge to dismantle the prime minister's "literary inquisition" traps and helps the crown prince uncover a decade-old "treason case" to bring down the powerful official. Just as he's about to be granted a noble title and high office, he discovers that the secret of his transmigration is linked to a copy of *Chu Ci* (Songs of Chu) in the Northern Prince's study—an exact replica of the one from his modern world...

Cross-Time Sharp Dealer: My Business Empire Spans Two Worlds

Lin Xiaoman, a modern entrepreneur who failed miserably, picks up an old abacus engraved with 'Connecting Past and Present' and accidentally links to a dilapidated winery in Bianliang of the Northern Song Dynasty!

Worse, modern creditors block her door, and Lu Zhao discovers through tracking that this 'sharp dealer' has been secretly using profits to help disaster victims. When Lin Xiaoman’s memories are nearly gone, she must choose: stay in ancient times with Lu Zhao to run a business with warmth, or return to the modern world to reclaim her life?

Wish Your Heart Is Mine

Wish Your Heart Is Mine

In Troubled Times, My Turtle Has Got Me Covered

In Troubled Times, My Turtle Has Got Me Covered

Modern office worker Lin Xiaoman died from staying up late playing a "turtle-raising mobile game," only to wake up as a starving beggar in a troubled era. The "Turtle Immortal System" she’s bound to gives her a mission right away: "Raise a turtle as your boss—it’ll keep you alive for more than three episodes!" This turtle is indeed magical: it can sniff out buried grain reserves, deflect assassin’s blades with its shell, and even "crawl back into its tank" three days early to warn of heavy rain?! To make things more absurd, the "sickly scholar" she rescues is Chu Zhao, the third prince being hunted by power-hungry ministers for extermination! Forced to team up with Chu Zhao to complete the system’s "turtle-style tasks" (like making the turtle bite Chu Zhao’s boot strap), Lin Xiaoman uses the turtle’s abilities to save drought-stricken victims with found grain, block poison arrows aimed at Chu Zhao with the turtle’s "shell shield," and even help the army avoid enemy fire attacks by the turtle’s "wall-crawling warning." Originally just wanting to muddle through life, she’s gradually moved by Chu Zhao’s obsession with "feeding all the people in the world." While outsmarting the system (like the turtle throwing a tantrum and stealing the emperor’s roast chicken from the imperial kitchen), they work together to turn the tide: from begging on the streets to entering the East Palace, from being hunted to quelling warlord rebellions. And that turtle—once Lin Xiaoman’s "slacker partner"—actually holds the map to the late emperor’s hidden granaries?! Amid the laugh-out-loud "turtle assists," two people who never wanted to be heroes end up becoming the warmest light in the troubled times.

To avoid memory erasure, Ruanruan bombards him with cheesy lines daily: "Shixiong, the tassel on your sword is like my heartbeat—every swing makes me too flustered to hold my sword!" "Brother Shen, I always mess up my qi cultivation because when I see you, all my qi rushes to my heart!" But Shen Yanzhi always pretends not to understand—until Ruanruan is about to lose her memory due to slow progress. Panicked, he takes out a silk cloth hidden in his sword case—on it are responses he's practiced a hundred times in secret: "Ruanruan, the tassel on my sword was always meant to tie your heartbeat..." Turns out the "ice-cold" shixiong has long carved every cheesy line into his bones, even practicing how to say "I like you too" to the moon late at night.
