He left his home, unwillingly, to a realm of cultivation, Xianshu, mythical manuals and Dao. And now he’s here due to a failed attempt at going home, a place bears a lot of resemblance but not the same. “At least it’s close enough here. I’ll get there on my next jump.” Jianmen Yu said to himself, “But while I’m prepping, let me do my old job here for a bit.” And there we have it, “Xianshi Inn”, run by a cultivator, who’s not of this world. Don’t mess with it or its employees, the owner will kick your ass, no matter who you are, no matter WHAT you are.

GOOD GIRL’S 10 NAUGHTY LISTS

Yelena came from a conservative family. All her actions had to conform to their rules— she always had to wear clothes that went over her knees; she had to go straight home after school; vices, hanging out, having a boyfriend, or courting were forbidden. She was supposed to focus only on studying. She was happy, yes, she was, back then. But as time passed, she began to feel suffocated. There were many things she had yet to experience. She had never cut class, attended school events, or tasted alcohol. She didn’t know what it felt like to have a boyfriend or to go out. She wondered, was she normal? Was she even human? She also wanted to experience making mistakes. That’s why she made a list— a list of things a woman who wants to be free from manipulation does. That was her way of rebelling against the people around her, to at least prove to herself that she was still human. But as she started doing those things, Angelo suddenly appeared— a stranger Yelena never imagined would come into her life . . .

This book has a good plot so far. I’m desperately waiting for new updates. It’s a contemporary romance but has a twist of fantasy/ fiction. So far didn’t compromise the plot. It’s great.

There's not much of a plot. The majority of the book lists products that the FL buys. I think the book is meant to advertise products, not necessarily tell a story.

The imperial concubine wants to climb the wall

The moment he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated to a different world, and he was lying in a mass grave with nothing on his body. It was so miserable! Her family had a white lotus sister who was biased towards her father. Her husband's family had unruly subordinates. The high and mighty white moonlight was jumping around one after another. When they saw her, they would step on her. What kind of trash were they? Shangguan Qian's hands were itching. She was a clean freak and had to clean up the rubbish when she saw it. As for that so-called husband? Sorry, a marriage without any emotional foundation is like a plate of loose sand. I won't serve you anymore!
