Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)

Time seemed to rewind to many years ago, to the bustling Imperial Advisorʼs Hall, where two tiny children faced each other, flapping their little arms and leaning their small bodies forward, one sounding soft and sticky, the other speaking in a milky childish voice.

“Little Xue!”

“Jing Kong!”

“Little Xue!”

“Jing Kong!”

“Little Xue!”

“Jing Kong!”

“Is it really you?” Xuanyuan Xi urged Little Eleven forward by a step, and the already frightened little white horse immediately began trembling even more violently.

He raised his hand and gently brushed the tears from her cheek with his fingertips. “You still haven’t learned how to ride a horse?”

“Mhm!” Shangguan Xue nodded with a wronged expression.

“Then why did you still come to fight a war?” And even came to kill me.

Shangguan Xue said pitifully, “I’m the princess of the State of Wei, and if I didn’t come, I would be offered up to that Xuanyuan Xi person!”

The corner of Xuanyuan Xi’s lips curved upward as he let out a soft laugh. “So that’s how it is.”

“I…” Shangguan Xue’s horse was afraid, and she was afraid too, so both rider and mount trembled uncontrollably.

Xuanyuan Xi could not help but laugh softly, then extended his hand toward her.

As people grow up, their hearts gradually become colder and harder, and especially for Xuanyuan Xi, who had stepped onto the battlefield at the age of twelve, his heart had long since built up thick walls that no one could easily breach.

Yet they had met at an age of pure innocence, shared the most childlike and beautiful moments together, and she had always remained deep within his heart, occupying the softest place there just like family.

Shangguan Xue hesitated briefly, then placed her hand into his.

She, too, trusted Jing Kong without reservation.

The chubby, fair little hand that he had once held in childhood had now become the slender, delicate hand of a young lady.

Xuanyuan Xi closed his palm around it, and with his other arm gently scooping her up, he lifted her by the waist and placed her onto Little Eleven’s back, seated in front of him.

Only then did Shangguan Xue finally let out a long breath of relief.

The little princess who feared neither heaven nor earth was, of all things, afraid of riding horses.

Xuanyuan Xi tightened his grip on the reins with both hands, shielding her within his embrace, and turned the horse around to head back.

The soldiers of both nations were stunned.

What was going on?

Weren’t the two of you supposed to be trying to kill each other?

How did killing turn into riding the same horse?

Black Wind Cavalry: General, something about this isn’t right!

Wei army: Princess, something about this isn’t right!

Shangguan Xue was still suffering from the aftereffects of motion sickness, her head muddled and unable to process so much all at once.

Xuanyuan Xi did not care in the slightest.

He used his broad frame to block her petite figure from view and then placed his own helmet onto her head, covering her exquisitely beautiful little face.

After that, his icy gaze swept across the Black Wind Cavalry, and everyone instantly lowered their heads in unison.

With her covered so thoroughly, even if they wanted to look, they could not see anything anyway.

Shangguan Xue, simple-minded and unaware of Jing Kong’s intent, wobbled a little under the helmet. “Heehee!”

Her back leaned against Xuanyuan Xi’s solid chest.

She was not someone ignorant of propriety, and under normal circumstances she would never get close to any man other than her own father, but he was Jing Kong.

He was the kindest, bravest, most pure-hearted, and most trustworthy little boy in the world.

Shangguan Xue forgot that the little boy from back then was fifteen years old now.

He was already a hot-blooded youth.

The two of them rode together on horseback, the youth protecting the person in his arms with a presence that was both domineering and gentle.

Compared to when she had been abducted by assassins in childhood, when the five-year-old him could only use his little steel teeth to bite onto the assassin and be dragged away together, the current him now possessed absolute and overwhelming strength.

No one would ever be able to harm her from his hands again.

After Little Eleven took a few steps forward, Shangguan Xue suddenly widened her almond-shaped eyes. “I just remembered. Jing Kong, you can ride horses now? You’re amazing!”

Xuanyuan Xi smiled softly. “There are many things I’m good at; I’ll tell you all about them slowly later.”

The youth’s voice was clean and warm, like the gentlest breeze sweeping across the grasslands.

“Mm!” Shangguan Xue nodded vigorously.

“All these years, I’ve written you many letters.” Xuanyuan Xi said softly.

Although Lord Yanshan’s residence was empty, people still went there at regular intervals to sort through and collect the letters, and since he did not know where Little Xue had gone, he could only send his letters there for the time being.

Shangguan Xue frowned. “Were there? I didn’t receive a single one at all! I wrote you many letters too! But you never replied to me!”

Xuanyuan Xi narrowed his eyes slightly, very well, they had been intercepted by the Wei Emperor.

Shangguan Xue sat in his arms, reached out to touch the horse’s mane, and asked, “Is this Little Eleven?”

Xuanyuan Xi replied, “Mm, you still recognize it?”

Shangguan Xue nodded repeatedly and could not help exclaiming, “Wow, Little Eleven is so impressive now too!”

Little Eleven proudly lifted its neck and pranced forward, stepping out with a swagger that acknowledged no one at all.

Once she knew it was Little Eleven, the last trace of fear in Shangguan Xue vanished, because she had liked Little Eleven very much when she was little.

Thinking of something, she asked again, “But Jing Kong, why did you come here? Do you know Xuanyuan Xi?”

Xuanyuan Xi smiled. “I do.”

“Is he very formidable?” Shangguan Xue asked next.

Xuanyuan Xi said with a straight face, “Extremely formidable.”

Shangguan Xue’s small face instantly turned pale again. “Th-then… will he kill me and my Imperial Father?”

“No.” Xuanyuan Xi suppressed the upward curl of his lips. “I promise you.”

Shangguan Xue patted her small chest in relief. “Where are we going now?”

“Where do you want to go?” Xuanyuan Xi asked her.

Shangguan Xue tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Mm… I want to go see my teacher.”

Xuanyuan Xi said meaningfully, “Meeting the elders, huh…”

“Hm?” Shangguan Xue did not quite understand.

Xuanyuan Xi’s lips curved slightly. “I said yes.”

Summary:

Xuan Zhi transmigrated into a world where the cultivation of “Supernatural Talismans” was a central practice. In this world, Talisman Masters could use talismans to summon gods, exorcise ghosts, command demons, and control the five elements, making this profession universally acknowledged as the No.1 most promising career in the cultivation world.

When she arrived, she was dressed in red bridal clothes, sitting in a bridal carriage, holding her ancestral “Celestial Talisman,” and preparing to form a marriage alliance with the Yun Clan of Eastern Zhou.

According to the original plot, after marrying into the Yun family, she would be restrained and effectively placed under house arrest in the name of the “three obediences and four virtues,” her husband would change from the Second Young Master Yun on the marriage contract to the abusive Third Young Master Yun, and she would eventually be tormented to death.

Meanwhile, the Yun family would seize her “Celestial Talisman,” summon wind and rain with it, and leap to become the number one great clan in Eastern Zhou.

Xuan Zhi: “Wouldn’t it be better for me to summon gods myself? Why should I give good things to others?”

***

Xuan Zhi: “Great Sage, I’ve been your fan since I was little!”

The “Celestial Talisman” rumbled, releasing a swirling cloud that carried her one hundred and eight thousand li before she plummeted headfirst straight into the main villainʼs bath.

Xuan Zhi: “I beseech True Lord Erlang to save my life!!”

The next moment, a dog paw suddenly struck her face, barking fiercely as it tore apart every malevolent spirit and sinister creature that surrounded her.

Xuan Zhi: “I may not be able to summon the great gods themselves, but I can summon their little pets and treasures.” (Forced smile.jpg)

Other characters in the book: “Just what kind of gods is she summoning?!!”

Xuan Zhi: “Sorry, my mythology runs on different lore.”

***

One day, Xuan Zhi finally summoned a god everyone recognized.

The Northern Abyss Ghost Emperor emerged amid countless evil spirit followers, clad in a black flame-edged robe with dancing sashes, his dark red eyes radiating a commanding, kingly aura, so imposing it seemed he was a different person from the one chased and bitten by a dog naked that day.

He held a divorce letter in his hand and sneered. “Part ways amicably, and live our own lives in peace?”

His sinister gaze locked onto Xuan Zhi. She snatched the letter, tore it to pieces, then shyly threw herself into his arms and squeezed out tears. “Boohoo, you devil, why did you come so late? Look, they all bullied me!”

Shentu Tao: “……”

Everyone she pointed at backed away in panic. “Good heavens, who is bullying who?!”

==============================================================

Summary:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, ”Scared?”

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, ”The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?”

Shi Dai replied, ”Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, ”Donʼt abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, ”Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah.”

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasnʼt finished his lines yet though…
