It was a kind of strategy to hide one's whereabouts when the road was clearly being built. This sentence was first spoken by Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. Before he sent troops to war, he first built roads and secretly sent troops to attack the enemy at night. In the end, he successfully occupied Chencang. This classic battle example was still used by later generations. There was a similar story in the modern novel," The Super Little Heavenly Master." The protagonist traveled around the city, using invisibility and heaven-defying Taoist techniques to hide in thousands of people without being discovered.

Is this destiny?

Sarah Hill is an introvert who does not want to attract attention. Other than mad coding skills, Sarah knows how to throw a punch. She believes that her biggest problem is the existence of the hacker Omega and her world flips upside-down when the most popular guy on campus approaches her. What does he want? Why her? (Ah, Sarah, that is only the beginning.) JoAnna Hill easily makes friends with her bubbly personality. Some call her a mad scientist, but she prefers ‘Dr. Hill’, because that is what she is. JoAnna is an excellent markswoman who can snipe out any target and she is wondering if her prince charming will ever come. Sophia Hill is the voice of reason, their pillar of support. She is a confident CEO who knows how to get what she wants. Sophia’s degree in law combined with amazing capabilities to analyze the situation and plan ahead make her the perfect strategist (to achieve a goal without ending up in jail). This is a story of three Hill sisters who are navigating through challenges while they uncover the complicated story behind their maternal side of the family. And their father is not a simple man either. Every sister is different, and so are their relationships. They all have in common: trust and belief that if they work together, anything is possible. Mature content! 18+ ***SPOILER? - START *** The story starts with a focus on the youngest sister (Sarah). After about 100 chapters, the oldest sister (Sophia) gets in the romantic spotlight. JoAnna finds herself pulled into romance last, at about 200 chapter mark. ***SPOILER? - END *** Excerpt from the novel... "Do you believe in destiny?", Sarah broke the silence. "Destiny?" Aiden didn't expect such a question. "Yes. The thing that is meant to happen, and there is nothing you can do to prevent it. And when it does happen, everything feels right." "Why would you ask me such a thing?" "Until a few weeks ago I would say that there is no such thing as destiny. That we are all masters of our lives and that everything depends on our actions, or lack of it. But I can't help but wonder: why did I not push you away? ... Why does it feel like everything will be OK as long as we are together? ... You are a piece of me that I never knew was missing. Is this destiny?" "Mmm... if that is destiny, then I approve it.", Aiden lightly kissed Sarah's shoulder and rested his chin on it. --- 1st WARNING!!! Contains descriptions of intimate scenes.

The Village Girl Who Jinxes Her Husband Is Filthy Rich

Lin Xinlan, who possessed both spatial and wood manipulation abilities, was betrayed by her boyfriend and best friend. They had drugged her and sent her to a laboratory to become a test specimen all for the sake of a month’s worth of food supply. Having suffered both physical and mental torture, she chose to self-destruct, taking the lab researchers down with her! When she woke up again, she found herself in another era as a twelve-year-old girl named Lin Yuelan.When Lin Yuelan was nine years old, a Taoist who had been begging for water asserted that she would grow up to jinx her husband! Rumors spread and the assertion of her jinxing her husband turned into jinxing her parents, to her relatives, then her friends, and eventually she was said to be a jinx of the world. Her grandparents, uncles, and awful relatives were terrified of being jinxed to death, so they resolutely severed ties with nine-year-old Lin Yuelan. They removed her from the family register and made her live on her own. Her foolish father had obeyed the clan’s wishes, her mother was a crying mess, and her siblings couldn’t do anything to help. Being separated from the family at nine years old, she was given a shabby and shaky little hut, one paddy field, and two dry fields as severance compensation. From then on, the Lin family had nothing to do with Lin Yuelan, and Lin Yuelan became a girl with no background. She warily reached the age of twelve, but accidentally offended the village’s bully. The bully’s comrade eventually beat her to death, and that allowed Lin Xinlan to transmigrate onto her.“I have spatial abilities, and the world will be mine! Watch as I, Lin Xinlan, command authority wherever I go, and become a supreme being!”

The origin of the phrase 'Thousand Mountains of Sunset Snow'?

The origin of the phrase "Thousand Mountains and Evening Snow" originated from a poem in the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Zhihuan's "Climbing the Stork Tower":"The sun is against the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea." I want to see a thousand miles and reach a higher level." It meant that one could see a wider range from a high place. " Thousands of mountains in the evening snow " referred to the scene when one looked from afar, like thousands of mountains overlapping with the evening snow, giving people a sense of loneliness and magnificence. The phrase " thousand mountains and evening snow " was also widely used in some novels. For example, in Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novel " The Condor Heroes ", Yang Guo met Xiao Longnu at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain and they spent a good time together. One of the descriptions was: " Xiao Longnu looked out of the window. In the distance, there were thousands of mountains overlapping with evening snow, but in the nearby forest, it was quiet." Here, the phrase " a thousand mountains in the evening snow " became a commonly used scene description in novels.

It was a way to describe the tall tales that were common in those social settings.
