I Got Rich in Period Fiction

Qiao Qingyu found herself transported into a period novel, becoming He Xiu Yu's dreadful ex-wife. She's the worst of them all—lazy, dumb, and wicked. She serves as a foil whose sole purpose is to advance the plot, a tool for slapstick comedy, and a contrast to highlight the intelligence and kindness of the female lead. Everyone is eagerly waiting for her to exit the stage. Faced with dangers ahead and behind, Qiao Qingyu isn't bothered at all. After all, she possesses a seed laboratory. The joy of having a golden finger is beyond your wildest imaginings!

I Have my Smartphone in the Medieval Period

A thousand years of history. One infinite library. No way home. When a modern-day engineer wakes up in the damp, freezing solar of a 12th-century manor, he finds himself trapped in the body of Thomas, a minor noble with a failing reputation and a wife who despises him. He has no magic system, no leveling up, and no celestial guide. All he has is the smartphone in his pocket—invisible to everyone else, perpetually charged, and still connected to the internet of 2026. In a world where a simple infection is a death sentence and the Church’s word is law, Thomas must use the sum of human knowledge to survive. From implementing basic germ theory to discovering hidden silver veins and forging high-carbon steel, he begins a quiet revolution from the mud up.

Well translated novel with an interesting time period and concept. It doesn’t have the shounen action that some historical novels have, but instead portrays a more mundane, day to day life. Many references to Impressionist era France / Victorian era England. Thank you for the translation, translator. Looking forward to additional chapters.

Just read the first few chapters and I have to say it's like a fantasy romance from a Victorian period. The English is good and there isn't much errors to distract you from the story. The story is totally different from others seen in webnovel with a tinge of mystery. I recommend this book to vampire lovers and hope the author keeps up the good work.

He studied in the Cold Palace for a hundred years and became a sword god after leaving the mountain.

After traveling through the fantasy world, Ye Xuan became the Crown Prince of the Qing Kingdom. However, he was sent to the Cold Palace for maligning the Imperial Consort and was never allowed to enter the palace again. Fortunately, he had awakened the Reading System. He could obtain cultivation techniques, pills, and divine weapons by reading every day. " Read a volume of the Analects of Confucius. Obtained Righteousness Technique." " You have read a volume of the Yellow Emperor Heart Sutra. You have received the Xuanyuan Sword." " You have read a volume of the Medicinal Book of Plants. You have received a Zenith Heaven Golden Pill." Ye Xuan originally only wanted to study in the ancestral hall and did not want to care about the changes in the world. However, hundreds of years later, the dynasty weakened. Heroes fought for supremacy, demons ran amok, and countless factions surged into the capital of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was on the verge of destruction. Just as everyone thought that the Qing Dynasty was about to become history, a golden sword aura soared into the sky from the Cold Palace and slashed everyone into ashes. The sword qi swept across 30,000 miles, and even the immortals in the sky lowered their heads.
