Five Years After My Death, the Mad Emperor Still Summons My Spirit

Shi Shan Yue
In her past life, Ming Lingyi married Li Yun in accordance with her parents' wishes. In the eyes of the world, she and Li Yun were considered childhood sweethearts. Many people envied her good fortune, for she had become Li Yun's wife even before the Li family founded the state. Not long after the founding of the Dayan Dynasty, in the first year of Jing'an, she became the noble and esteemed Empress. But in the second year of Jing'an, after giving birth to a prince, the Empress fell into a coma for two days before passing away. When Ming Lingyi awoke again, she discovered she had become Ming Yao, the daughter of a merchant. Great men have always been prone to faithlessness; she could no longer hold any affection for the cold-hearted man in the palace, but she unexpectedly heard a rumor circulating among the people— Empress Hui Ming had been deceased for five years, but Emperor Jing'an had never allowed the people to speak of the Empress's passing. There were even whispers that the Empress's body was never interred in the Imperial Mausoleum, but was instead placed by Emperor Jing'an on a Kunshan Cold Jade Bed in the palace, where he used his blood for soul summoning. Ming Lingyi: "???" Was this the Li Yun she knew? Later on, when a noble guest in a black cloak entered her small shop, Ming Lingyi was caught off guard as she met a pair of eyes that had suddenly turned crimson. "Yuan Niang…" A low murmur, as if afraid to startle her, fell lingeringly into her ear.

Honkai: Withered White Camellia

[Also Known as: Honkai Unofficial History: The Valkyries Are Breaking Down?!] The white camellia, scientifically known as "Camellia japonica alba", is a flower native to East Asia, where it grows in temperate forests and shaded gardens. First cultivated over a thousand years ago in China and Japan, it became a symbol of purity and admiration, celebrated in art, poetry, and tradition. Often gifted to honor someone beloved, the white camellia's pristine petals are revered for their flawless beauty. Despite its elegance, the flower is notoriously delicate. Sensitive to harsh conditions, its petals bruise easily, and it wilts quickly when removed from its stem. Beneath its perfect bloom lies a quiet fragility, a silent reminder that beauty and purity often come at the cost of resilience. ... ??? what? Doujinshi artist Li Wu transmigrated into the Honkai world, but the plot seemed a little off. "System, why doesn't this plot match the game's storyline?" [Rest assured, our history is absolutely canon. It has nothing to do with unofficial lore.] "Then let me ask you, what's Kiana's character setting?" [Aloof, misanthropic, a loner, and totally indifferent!] "And Raiden Mei?" [A terrible personality. She loves being manipulated, scolded, and verbally abused!] "Bullshit! I drew this dark and edgy doujinshi myself, don't you think I'd know?!" "System, I really like the 'Return by Death' ability you gave me. But this setting where I *also* regress if the heroines die? I'm not a fan." ... As time passed and the plot unfolded, the Valkyries' personalities broke down even further. Raiden Mei kneeled on the ground, gripping his and Kiana's hands, saying things like, "We have to form a Valkyrie squad for the rest of our lives," and "I'll do anything." Fu Hua, without another word, shoved a half-eaten chocolate Pocky stick and a cigarette at him, saying, "A little bro should listen to his big sis. Do it right, and you'll get a reward." "Are there any normal people left?! Why is everyone completely OOC?!" [Isn't Elysia still around?] "She's the most twisted one of all!"
