This novel absolutely does not bully the protagonist—the system is just a tool! After transmigrating into a xuanhuan world, Su Changge becomes the master of the future Female Emperor—right before her infamous descent into darkness. His once-abused little disciple suddenly notices something strange: her master has grown gentle, incredibly powerful, and increasingly soft-hearted beneath his stern words… Su Changge: “You damn system—I refuse to be a despicable villain!” System: “Born to be trash, destined to be the antagonist!” Feng Wanqing: “I’ve fallen for my own master… What should I do? I’m going to have a sweet, earth-shattering romance with him—no matter what!” (Source: Bilibili, translated)

This is an anthology of short stories based on the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan series.

After waking up from sleep, Ji Que finds himself in a bizarre, god-haunted world where immortal mountains have collapsed, temples lie in ruins, monsters wear human skins, and wild gods feast on marrow. At the same time, he gains a unique ability: insight can be accumulated and spent like money—the more he saves up, the more miraculous the revelations he can unlock. Dragged into a series of grotesque and surreal events, Ji Que encounters a White-Bone Bodhisattva who spews lotus flowers to “purify” all things, and later Laojun, who refines hearts and concocts pills. Yet beneath the rampant demons and monsters lurks something even more terrifying—the human heart itself. (Source: Tencent, translated)

For the most part, the world is a superficial place. We see only the surface, and not what’s underneath.\* What would you do if there existed a person who was blessed with the memories of their past life and continued to love you deeply in this life? He, Zhou Shen Chen, was granted such an opportunity. She, Shi Yi, who carries the burdens of their memories by herself in the present, has only ever wished for one thing in her lifetime: to find a story that truly belonged only to them in both the past and present. For richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, no matter what’s on the surface, I will always return to you. \*\* (Source: Kuaikanmanhua, translated) \*TL Note: “皮相” and “骨” is used in this sentence, which literally translates to “skin” and “bones”. Another meaning for the “骨” character can be in reference to your character/personality. Thus, the sentence is referring to the fact that the world is a shallow place, as you are only judged by your outer exterior (your skin), as most do not bother to delve further to see your inner self (your bones). \*\*TL Note 2: The final sentence is a very waxing poem that she will forever follow him no matter what the destination is and whether he’s wealthy/prosperous or dirt poor which is akin to something we would find in a wedding vow.
