The Geomantic Postal Route

5 ch · Action

Yan Qi, a twenty-two-year-old Imperial Mail courier, has never failed a delivery on the western route her father died protecting. Her courier oath grants safe passage through hostile sect territories, but it also burns her meridians if she misses a sealed parcel's delivery window. When five parcels arrive in one assignment, Yan Qi discovers they are not ordinary imperial mail but coordinated assassination kits aimed at politically untouchable recipients. She cannot open them, refuse them, or interfere after delivery. She can only run, speak, and search for loopholes before each package becomes a death sentence. As every stop reveals another layer of the conspiracy, Yan Qi learns the western route itself may have been built as a weapon—and the mastermind is already using her oath against the one person she cannot afford to lose: her sister.

The Bone-Scribe of Last Vow Monastery

5 ch · Action

At Last Vow Monastery, dying cultivators carve their final vows into their own kneecaps, and novice bone-scribes read the truth after death. Fourteen-year-old Sui Wanqing is obedient in public and dangerous in secret: she has been practicing vow-script on her own ribs, becoming sharper than her teachers while hiding that she has no martial cultivation and no sponsor to leave. When a fresh kneecap appears in the offering basket bearing a vow addressed to her, written by a future hand she has not yet learned, Wanqing is pulled into a murder network that already knows her name. Each new bone reveals one more piece of the conspiracy, but every reading destroys the evidence. By the chrysanthemum festival, she must outwit beast-tamers, a coerced dead nun, and the abbot whose four-hundred-year-old spine may hold the secret that makes Wanqing the only witness worth silencing.

The Jade Empire's Hunger Artist

6 ch · Action

In the Jade Empire, cultivation is the only wealth the throne cannot tax—so it places disposable imperial relatives inside powerful sects and claims their spiritual energy after death. Xiao Fen, the overlooked third daughter of a minor imperial branch, arrives at Yǎngshén Sect expecting polite neglect. Instead, she notices that the last three imperial cultivators stationed here were quietly drained before they died. With no great talent, no family protection, and no one safe to trust, Fen survives by doing what she has always done: reading rooms, remembering details, and letting powerful people underestimate her until their own paperwork becomes a weapon.
