sawdust laughter and emotional breakdowns

The Laughing Demon, Zǔ Zhòu, who had plunged the Nine Heavens into despair, met his demise by defying the Laws of the Dao. However, fate intervened. Transmigrated into a new body millions of years later, with his forbidden bloodline still bound to his soul, he seeks to live this new life as he did before, stopping at nothing, even if it means destroying the Heavenly Dao itself!

Eleven centuries after our existence, a new world has emerged. All nations now live on a single land, united under one supreme god in absolute supremacy. But is this truly a perfect world? If we are all equals, then why do superior races still exist, while others are cast aside as societal waste? Divided by golden domes, each person dreams of becoming a “Perfect”, a being purified of all emotions and perfectly sane, a being stripped of feelings in pursuit of eternal life. But at what cost? That is why they were born... The "Tracks Emotional", beings who possess only a single, pure emotion, were created to destroy all threats that transcend the nature of our world. From corrupted emotions arise the “Transemotional”, born mostly from the Fosse, and driven by unstable genetics or devouring feelings. They transform into massive, uncontrollable shadows that relentlessly attack the domes. All they have are their dreams.

Princess Elara is charming, witty, and a little mischievous—qualities that make her a beloved royal figure, though not taken seriously in matters of the throne. When her father, the King, arranges a marriage to Prince Thorne of a neighboring kingdom, Elara expects the usual diplomatic formality. What she doesn’t expect is Prince Thorne himself—a brooding, handsome warrior who thinks he can tame her wild spirit. He’s all duty, little humor, and a stiff upper lip. However, sparks fly—literally, sometimes—when a mix-up with enchanted scrolls causes unexpected magical events (think clothes swapping, invisible spells, and mistaken identities). Amidst the chaos of royal balls, diplomatic events, and awkward missteps, the two begin to realize that what started as an arranged, inconvenient marriage might just have the potential to be something more.

Inside this book, you will learn how to: • Detect manipulation before it feels like love • Break the trauma-bond cycle • Use psychological awareness without losing your compassion • Set boundaries that cannot be emotionally negotiated • Stop reacting — and start observing This is not about revenge. It is about power with control. Because narcissists do not fear emotion. They fear awareness. If you have ever felt gaslighted, drained, confused, or addicted to someone who destabilizes you… This book will teach you how to observe without absorbing. Mirror without merging. Respond without reacting. And once you master that? You will never be emotionally trapped again.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
