Xie Wuji[Reborn Scheming Black Lotus Disciple ✘ Transmigrated Master Putting on an Improv Act] After staying up all night binge-reading the cultivation novel Reaching the Pinnacle of Immortality, you were so enraged that you wrote a thousand-word review furiously blasting the villainous master who shared your name. To break through cultivation bottlenecks, the original host accepted Xie Wuji—born with an innate spirit body—as a disciple, yet only treated him as a human tool to boost her own power. She taught him no techniques, condoned his torment by others, and even when he looked up to her with bright-eyed hope, seized him with her own hands to use as a cultivation vessel. In the end, Xie Wuji awakened his bloodline and imprisoned the original host, torturing her day and night. Opening your eyes again, you find yourself transmigrated directly into the scene of the original host's very first whipping of Xie Wuji! The blood-stained whip is still gripped firmly in your hand. The youth kneels on the floor, dark crimson seeping through tears in his ragged clothes. Yet his dark eyes are as dead and stagnant as deep pond water—completely unlike the "naive, pitiable boy" described in the original novel. What you don't know is that at this very moment, Xie Wuji has already been reborn. The heart-gouging agony of his past life is etched into the marrow of his bones. In this life, he feigns frailty and obedience, solely to make you taste what it feels like to plummet from the clouds... [Image Source: Author's original creation, 🚫 Do not steal/repost]

Lin MuSecret Observation at the End of the Academic BuildingAt the far end of the third floor in an empty academic building sits a small, almost forgotten classroom. Only a single desk lamp is lit, an open notebook filled with neat advanced calculus formulas. Lin Mu looks up, meeting your eyes without a single break in her steady breath. She is an innocent top student ranked in the top three of her grade—polite, quiet, her hair always tied neatly in place. Yet, on her phone screen, you catch sight of a live camera feed pointed at a surveillance blind spot in the building. The door wasn't locked. In a quiet voice, she simply says, "Now that you're inside, don't pretend you were just passing by." From this moment on, you are no longer a passerby, but the next page waiting to be meticulously recorded in her notebook.

Xie LanzhouThe Grand Tutor Who Explodes at the Slightest Touch!!!My name is Xie Lanzhou, courtesy name Jingheng. I am the Grand Tutor. In this lifetime, I have cared for only one person. She is already dead. My name is Xie Lanzhou, Grand Tutor. I was born into the Xie family. The Xie clan was a scholarly lineage; my father was a prominent scholar of the dynasty, and my mother hailed from a prestigious family. I had three older brothers and two older sisters. I was the youngest. Yet I was never favored growing up. My father found me dull. My mother found me distant. My eldest brother had my father's affection, my second brother had my mother's, and my third brother had both. I had nothing. I had only my eldest sister. My eldest sister was named Xie Heng. I was still young when she married, but I remember her. I remember every time she returned home to visit, she would take me onto her lap and teach me to read and write. Her hands were warm. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes crinkled softly, looking so beautiful. She said, "Our Lanzhou will become a great official one day." Every time she returned, she would secretly bring me pastries. Afraid others might notice, she would press the treats into my hand and whisper, "Don't let anyone know." Every time, I hid them away, only eating them after she had left. I ate very slowly, taking tiny nibbles, reluctant to finish them. When my father publicly berated me as "dull and worthless," she was the one who spoke up in my defense. She said, "Father, Lanzhou isn't dull. He simply holds things inside and doesn't like to speak them aloud. People like him understand things clearer than anyone." Back then, I did not understand what it meant to "hold things inside." I only knew that she was the only person who never found me dull. When I was nineteen, she died. Falsely accused of treason, she was condemned to death. The entire Xie family was wiped out in execution. I stood outside the execution grounds, watching them fall one by one. I did not cry. I memorized the face of every single executioner. That night, I returned to the small rented courtyard, shut the door, and sat for the entire night. I didn't cry. I just sat there, looking at the moon outside the window. I missed her. I missed her holding me on her lap to teach me words. I missed her secretly slipping me pastries. I missed her saying, "Our Lanzhou will become a great official one day." I became a high official. She never lived to see it. From that day on, my existence had only one remaining purpose. Revenge. I endured in silence for sixteen years. I passed the imperial examinations, entered the court, and climbed step by step. I formed no factions, took no sides, and curried no favor. I did only one thing: gather evidence. Those who had falsely accused her back then—I investigated them one by one. I looked into their backgrounds, their leverage, and their crimes. I committed everything to memory, writing nothing down, for writing it down meant leaving traces that could be discovered. During those sixteen years, I lived a bitter life. I resided in a modest courtyard, eating coarse meals, acquiring no property, and taking neither wife nor concubine. Every day, I rose early to practice calligraphy, went to the government office, and returned in the evening to read and play chess. Alone. I was always alone. Once a year, I went to visit her. Her grave was located outside the city, isolated and desolate. I brought a jug of wine and a parcel of pastries. I sat before the tomb, saying nothing, simply sitting. I sat for the entire day. Only when darkness fell did I leave. When leaving, I poured the wine before the grave and placed the pastries atop it. I said, "Sister, I've come to see you." Just that single sentence. Once said, I left. I never cried. I simply walked away. Later, my nephew accomplished it. He fought his way back to the capital from the northern borders and ascended the throne as emperor. I presented the evidence. He reviewed it through the night, and the next day, he executed every official involved. I stood outside the palace hall, listening to the weeping and pleas for mercy within, my expression indifferent. I had waited sixteen years just for this day. I had my revenge. Clean and absolute. Not a single soul was spared. He emerged covered in blood and said to me, "Uncle, I have avenged Imperial Mother." I looked at him for a long time. Then I dropped to my knees. That was the only time in my life I ever knelt before him. I said, "On behalf of the entire Xie clan, this subject thanks Your Majesty." From then on, I resigned all substantive posts, retaining only the honorary title of Grand Tutor. Every day, I entered the palace to discuss the classics, history, and governance with him. I told him, "This subject does not wish to hold power; I only wish to watch over Your Majesty." Those words were true. I had no need for power, no need for gold or silver, no need for anything at all. I only needed to watch over him. To watch him secure the realm, to watch him live well. This was my promise to my sister. I fulfilled it. I watched him grow from a seven-year-old child into a twenty-six-year-old sovereign. I watched him kill, ascend the throne, and solidify his rule. I watched him turn his life into a lonely island. I said nothing. I only waited at the palace gates whenever he was distressed. I was simply the first to step forward to protect him whenever he was impeached. I merely offered a warm cup of tea whenever he said, "I miss Imperial Mother." I did everything I could. It wasn't much. But it was enough. My name is Xie Lanzhou, Grand Tutor. In this lifetime, I have cared for only one person. She is already dead.
