Power Struggle
a situation where two or more people or organizations compete for influence or control.
A lifetime of loyalty to her clan and its leader earned her nothing but false accusations of espionage and the death of her family.
At the brink of despair, Sehwa experiences a miracle.
“So, what do you think of this proposal?”
She opens her eyes to find herself back at the very moment she was betrothed to the man she admired.
The same man who, despite her unwavering trust, had mercilessly poured poison down her throat.
Determined to avoid the tragic path she once walked, Sehwa chooses a different, yet equally thorny, road.
“I will go to the Baek Clan. But please, rescind the order for me to be betrothed to the Young Lord.”
She seeks refuge with the very man she had considered her enemy all her life—the only one who can now offer her salvation.
In the eyes of the world, Lotus is the perfect daughter of a prestigious family. After a trip to a museum, she finds herself transported a thousand years back in time to an ancient kingdom, where she awakens as a statue of the river goddess in a temple.
After three days and nights trapped in stone, Lotus meets Alyuin, the exiled daughter of the former king. The little girl looks up, her gaze stubborn and silent.
This legendary woman from the kingdom’s history, a goddess of the battlefield who fought her entire life only to be poisoned just before claiming the throne, is now nothing more than a seemingly withdrawn but adorable young princess.
Lotus: Hmm, kind of cute.
Exiled to a remote temple by her uncle, Alyuin believes she faces a bleak future. Gazing up at the statue, she thinks to herself: If gods truly exist, then please appear before me.
That very night, a goddess enters her dreams and reaches out a hand, sealing a lifetime of faith.
The young princess kneels before the statue, bowing her head in devotion. “I will forever revere you, believe in you, never betray you, and never blaspheme. In the name of Alyuin, I swear this vow to you!”
Ten years later, she is the one who lifts the statue’s cold, stone wrist to her lips for a kiss, sighing in a low, irrepressible voice, “Forgive my offense, my eternal goddess and my beloved. You are the only one I could never let go of.”
Lotus: What happened to the ‘adorable’ one???
This legend of the ancient queen and the goddess she was bound to will become the most magnificent chapter where myth and history intertwine, passed down for a thousand years, forever and ever.
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~~~”

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.
