The general's daughter returns home

张星星
In the 68th year of the Mingqi era, the legitimate daughter of a military family, Shen Miao (originally named Shen Jiao Jiao), was reborn back to the time when the tragedy had not yet occurred after dying in the cold palace. In her previous life, she was infatuated with Prince Ding, Fu Xiuyi, and devoted her family's military power, enduring humiliation for five years to help him ascend to the throne. However, after securing his position, Fu Xiuyi turned against her—favoring his concubines over his wife, allowing Madam Mei (Ye Mei) to plot against her own daughter, Wanyu, and forcing the crown prince to his death. In the end, he executed the entire Shen family under the pretext of "overstepping his authority." Until her dying breath, she only realized that the second branch, Shen Qing, and the third branch, Shen Yue, had long colluded with external enemies. Her heartfelt loyalty had ultimately turned into a blood debt, and she vowed to repay this blood debt in the next life. After being reborn, Shen Miao shed her innocence and transformed into the ruthless "Poisoned Empress of the General's Mansion." Her first priority is to protect the main branch of the Shen family, advising her father Shen Xin to avoid disaster in the northwest and steer clear of political traps, ensuring the safety of her mother Luo Xueyan and the family. In the face of the second and third branches' schemes to frame her and the old lady's favoritism, she exposes conspiracies like "marriage swap to marry a gay" and "pushing into the pond to frame," making the internal pests suffer the consequences. Amid the undercurrents in the court, Shen Miao, relying on her memories from her past life, devised a plan: to alienate Fu Xiuyi and undermine his foundation for seizing power, exposing Madam Mei's hypocritical facade; to join forces with the Chen brothers to bloodily assault the Prince of Yu's residence, avenging her cousin's humiliation while simultaneously weakening the enemy's influence. At the Yanbei Hall banquet, she amazed everyone, and at the archery range, her skills astonished all. She completely overturned the perception of the "useless legitimate daughter," establishing her footing in the aristocratic power struggles with her intelligence and courage. On her path of revenge, she encounters the seemingly cynical yet secretly sharp young lord of the Lin'an Marquisate, Xie Jingxing. From their initial mutual testing during a chance encounter in a secret chamber to their eventual alliance against a common enemy, the identity of Xie Jingxing, the Prince Rui of the Great Liang, gradually comes to light. He is decisive in killing and possesses exceptional wisdom. In his previous life, he overthrew the Mingqi imperial power for Shen Miao. In this life, he is even more devoted and has vowed, "The country belongs to you, and you belong to me."

A TOWN FULL OF EVIL

Ajeji Village, once a quiet, humble town, hides shadows darker than anyone dares imagine. When Adegboyega returns to his childhood home after years away, he immediately senses that something is wrong—the air feels heavy, the silence is unnatural, and the familiar streets seem alien. What was once home now feels like a trap. As he moves through the village, he discovers that Ajeji is no ordinary place. Beneath its thatched roofs and dusty lanes lurk evil forces, manipulating the villagers and feeding on fear. Strange deaths, inexplicable events, and whispers of curses paint a picture of a town that thrives on darkness. Adegboyega, drawn by memories of his father and his own past, must navigate treacherous alliances, uncover hidden secrets, and confront forces far beyond human understanding. Throughout the first 21 chapters, the story unfolds as a tense battle between the ordinary and the supernatural. Adegboyega encounters allies and enemies alike—some villagers are unwilling pawns, others harbor dark intentions, and some, like his own family’s legacy, tie him inexorably to the town’s fate. Every step closer to the truth reveals deeper layers of corruption and ancient malevolence. By chapter 21, the stakes escalate: Adegboyega must face not just the town’s evil, but the shadows within himself. The village’s mysteries begin to intertwine with his own destiny, forcing him to question what is real, who can be trusted, and whether he can survive the darkness he has returned to confront. Ajeji Village is a story of suspense, horror, and the human struggle against unseen forces—where every shadow hides a secret, and every secret comes with a price.

HEAVENLY DEMON ASCENSION

It felt real. That was what he kept coming back to. The smell of this room felt real. The weight of this body felt real. The sound of that argument outside felt real in the specific, unremarkable way that real things felt. His first life had been nothing but a bitter, endless struggle. He had lost the handful of people he truly cared about and had been completely helpless to stop it. Then, just when he finally gripped a slight sliver of hope to change his fate, it was violently ripped away, ending with him locked inside a forsaken underground archive. For twenty-four years, he did what he could to survive. At first, he had hope, but the darkness faded it. He had a burning thirst for revenge, but the isolation snuffed it out. He had the will to live, but eventually, even that was forgotten in the dust of the old scrolls. He had become an empty vessel simply waiting for death. And then, on his final day, he accidentally came across a dark red book. The impossible conclusion settled over him like heavy snow. He had regressed. At first, the mere thought felt completely ridiculous. But deep down, in some buried corner of his soul, this was the solitary dream he had prayed for during his darkest nights in the archive. As the decades had bled away, he had convinced himself that second chances didn't exist in a world as cruel as the Murim. There were no do-overs for a ruined life. Yet, here he was. He didn't know what god or devil had granted this miracle, but as the heavy, dark presence pulsed faintly in his mind, he knew with absolute certainty that the book was the catalyst. It had sent him back.

Infinite Ascension: 100,000x Amplified

The Cataclysm didn't just change the world, it ended the one that came before it. Abyssal Rifts tore open across every continent simultaneously, the sky cracking apart like glass as the System Integration forcibly merged with reality. Monsters flooded out of the Eternal Abyss in numbers that defied comprehension, and humanity learned the hardest possible lesson in the shortest possible time — awaken your talent, change your job, grow stronger, or be consumed. Entire cities vanished overnight. Nations that had stood for centuries dissolved in weeks. The old world, with all its comfort and certainty, was gone, and what replaced it was something far more brutal and far more alive. Three hundred years of dungeons, Abyssal Spawn, and the relentless climb toward power later, a being that calls itself God emerges from the depths of the Eternal Abyss and declares the extinction of mankind as though it were already decided. It has clearly never met Nova Stern. On the day of his awakening, Nova receives a talent that earns little more than a passing glance from the examiners — Unlimited Amplification, unranked, undescribed, unremarkable on paper. What nobody understands yet is that there is no upper limit to what it can touch, and no version of strength it cannot multiply into something terrifying. [Comprehension amplified 100,000x → SSS-Rank Talent: Absolute Insight acquired] [Basic Breathing Method analyzed → Primordial Breathing Method forged. Cultivation speed: x1,000] [Physical body amplified 10,000x → Immortal Physique achieved. Nuclear-resistant.] [Origin Talent amplified 1,000,000x → Apex Origin: Eternal Flame awakened] Abyssal Lords, ancient monsters, and a self-proclaimed God with the nerve to threaten the entire human race — they are all about to learn what it means to stand in the path of something that has no ceiling, no limit, and no intention of stopping. A god walked out of the Abyss and announced the end of the world. Nova just wants to know one thing — do you dare take the flick of his finger?
