Cultivation
This tag is to be used preferably only for Chinese novels. Cultivation refers to the protagonist trying to acquire immortality and/or supreme power by the accumulation and usage of Qi. This tag is typical of the Xianxia genre.
As everyone knows, the prerequisites for a good-for-nothing’s counterattack are: favored child of heaven → innate talent destroyed → cultivation regresses → reduced to a waste → despised by everyone → engagement annulled → complete loss of face.
Coincidentally, Wen Yuncheng also happened to transmigrate, and she happened to experience the exact process described above. However, instead of receiving the spiritual guidance of some ancient powerhouse, she was bound to a cheat that called itself the “Long Aotian Growth System.”
Wen Yuncheng: But… I’m not a man.
Faced with the annulment of her engagement, the system was exceptionally excited: “Quick! Hurry up and let them know: thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the young for being poor!”
Wen Yuncheng: Even so, it’s a good thing this engagement is broken. After all, I’m a girl too!
Upon entering the academy and encountering her former fiancée again, the system was filled with indignation: “Look! That is the woman who humiliated you, abandoned you, and broke off the engagement! Quick, hurry up and slap her in the face! Make her regret it for the rest of her life!”
Wen Yuncheng: [Innocent.jpg] I was a good-for-nothing to begin with, so isn’t it perfectly normal to break off the engagement? It’s still better than her finding out I don’t have a cucumber after we get married, right?
System: She is so arrogant, aren’t you angry? She looks down on you! [Doubting system life.jpg]
System: Are you a Long Aotian or not?
Wen Yuncheng: …Maybe I can become a Mary Sue?
System: Kid, get a grip!
The good-for-nothing rises, the slacker turns her life around, and one star draws close to another.
By the time Wen Yuncheng realized it, her former fiancée had already sought her out again…
Yue Du lived for twenty-some years, only to realize after death that she was actually a System, a certified, bonafide partner in a quick-transmigration story.
To earn points and grant her wish, Yue Du travels to various small worlds to find big boss villains to serve as her hosts. Systems and hosts are always tied to missions; if you don’t do the mission, you don’t get points. But why are these villainous young ladies so… unmotivated?
No, it’s clearly a case of false advertising. Why aren’t they the original villains at all?!
Modern Esper World: “Sloth” half-closes her eyes: “Destroying the world is so tiring. I don’t want to.”
Western Fantasy World: “Lust” smiles seductively: “I am the continent’s number one Dharma Saint. Why would I bother troubling that little apprentice when I have nothing better to do?”
Cultivation World: “Pride” looks on coldly: “This Venerable One has cultivated for a millennium, and my heart is already still as water. Why must I seek immortality?”
Interstellar Sentinel/Guide World: “Wrath” scoffs: “There are plenty of ways to control this world. Why would I choose the one that takes twice the effort for half the result?”
Yue Du ponders: “…”
Yue Du whispers: “That… actually makes a lot of sense?”
On the eve of the college entrance exams, the nation’s most talented cultivators are full of ambition, ready to challenge the heavens. Only A’Diao remains timid and unassuming.
When the competition begins, she quietly pulls out a common, cheap magic staff and casts a curse: “Everyone, turn into pigs!”
Poof, poof, poof!
A group of geniuses, chasing after the exam scrolls on their flying devices, all plummet to the ground, transforming into little pink pigs upon landing.
After taking first place in her group, she screenshots the “pig farm” and posts it to her social feed to gather resentment, captioning it: “What’s there to be proud of in getting first place? After all, what they lost was their score, but what I lost was their love for me~~~”
Mental Energy from all national contestants +99999…
Set against a backdrop of a feudal empire with high-level martial arts and technology, this world has robots, spaceships, Taobao, and college entrance exams. It also features a highly stratified society with a ruling imperial court, entrenched noble classes, and powerful corporations that control the lifelines of the economy. Everyone’s life and death are subject to the whims of others.
Some say that with the revival of spiritual energy and the proliferation of subterranean lairs, the Three Kingdoms will fall to a demon king who will slaughter all in his path.
Some say A’Diao is that revived demon king.
Perhaps she is.
For eons, Blue Star existed alone in a corner of the universe. Though it lacked the ability to traverse the cosmos, its people held infinite dreams of the starry sky.
Then one day, dozens of starships warped into existence, hovering above the planet.
From that day forward, the evolution of Blue Star began.
Amid this thrilling evolution that everyone longed for, Blue Star, a world rich with its own religions, myths, and legends of immortal heroes, fantasy, and magic, discovered with astonishment that the direction of humanity’s evolution was… ABO.
And so, for this planet long dominated by a patriarchal society, all worldviews were shattered, collapsing only to be rebuilt anew.
