Shu Gate Fiction
Shu Gate

Having been in the political arena for ten years, ambition has also been worn down into an old horse. One careless move in the power struggle led to a downfall. Crossing over? It's not a rare occurrence, but luckily, I crossed over into the body of a nobleman's son. Unfortunately, he is only a common-born son of an elderly marquis, who holds a prominent position. With fifteen sons, he ranks twelfth in the family hierarchy, making it impossible for him to inherit the title. Among his elder brothers, some hold official positions, while others serve in the military. Unfortunately, our immediate family possesses no talent and shows no signs of improvement, relying on a meager monthly allowance of twenty taels of silver to scrape by. My mother was a concubine who passed away early, and the marquis's mansion holds no regard for us. Even the snobbish servants dare to flaunt their power in front of us. Only my widowed sister, who shares the same mother as me, treats me kindly and occasionally provides assistance. However, as a widow with a son, I must be mindful of my boundaries. While others who have crossed over try to develop businesses, our elderly marquis strictly forbids his descendants from engaging in commerce. Shall we wait until the marquis passes away, only to be driven out by our brothers, each given a small plot of land? As a modern person, if I'm going to experience this, it must be done in a grand manner. Engaging in literature and calligraphy is not my forte, and the games of kings and marquis are not interesting to me. How about manipulating the changing of emperors and establishing my own power? "Why shouldn't a man carry his Wu Blade, conquering fifty provinces? I invite you to temporarily ascend the Lingyan Pavilion. Which scholar wouldn't desire to become a marquis of ten thousand households?"

"This world is truly terrifying..." murmured Zhang Taibai as he gazed at the scene unfolding on the surface of the South Pacific Ocean. In front of the cruise ship he was on, a muscular man wearing emerald green shorts was wielding a trident, engaging in a fierce battle with a gigantic king squid, whose body stretched over a hundred meters, resembling a sea monster. "I never imagined that there would be such formidable beings in this world..." Zhang Taibai mused. Suddenly, he furrowed his brows and shouted somewhat displeasedly at the muscular man, "Hey, hey, hey, I'm talking to you! You can continue fighting, but don't come running towards me. Go play somewhere else!" As soon as he spoke, Zhang Taibai waved his sleeve... Countless sword qi surged, creating tumultuous waves that sent both the man and the sea monster flying!
