Porridge and the Throne
Ji Yan, the deposed crown prince of Great Zhou, was framed and exiled to the desolate frontier city of Mocheng. There, he awakened the Infinite Resource System—and its first unlock was a bottomless supply of plain porridge. At that very moment, the garrison troops were on the verge of mutiny due to starvation. Ji Yan fed them with his porridge, winning the loyalty of General Yun Wuyue and the entire army. The corrupt grain merchants, backed by the treacherous Concubine Wan, hoarded supplies and fed the refugees with bran and mud. Ji Yan exposed their fraud, executed all four merchants on the spot—even when the Second Prince rushed in to stop him—and earned the heart of the people. Concubine Wan struck back. She ordered Ji Yan to take in a plague-stricken heavy cavalry unit, hoping the disease would destroy Mocheng. Ji Yan unlocked unlimited antibiotics from his system, healed every soldier, and won the allegiance of their commander, Jiang Muxue. Then came the Wolf Clan—one hundred thousand invaders. Ji Yan unlocked unlimited Gatling guns. The wolves were annihilated. During the battle, he discovered a shocking truth: his grandfather, the Grand Marshal, had been murdered by the Emperor in league with the Wolf Clan. Enraged, the Emperor sent a million troops to crush Mocheng. Ji Yan, armed with Gatling guns and rocket launchers, crushed them instead. With just fifty elite warriors, he stormed through every checkpoint and reached the capital. In the imperial hall, he presented proof of the Emperor’s treason, purged the court, forced the abdication, and freed his imprisoned mother. Crowned emperor, he distributed endless grain across the land, crushed thirty-six rebellious warlords, conquered the northern barbarians, and unified the realm. History would remember his reign as the Golden Age of Emperor Yan.

Pear Blossom Dream
Li Zhi has been tormented by the same dream night after night. In it, she is tangled with a stranger in a hot spring—intimate, vivid, inescapable. In real life, she has a loving boyfriend, Zhou Kai, and a proposal waiting in the square. She says yes, hoping marriage will finally bury the nightmares. But the man in her dreams is no fantasy. He is Zhou Tingxiao, the feared head of the Zhou Clan, known as the Living Yama. He, too, is trapped in the same dreams, craving the warmth of the woman whose shoulder bears a pear blossom birthmark. He searches the entire city—and finds nothing. A hotel mix-up brings them face to face. She eases his sudden headache. She leaves behind a pear blossom ribbon. He knows: she is real. They meet only in dreams, until the day Li Zhi learns she is about to marry Zhou Kai—Zhou Tingxiao’s own nephew. On her wedding day, Zhou Tingxiao storms the ceremony, offers his most treasured prayer beads as a betrothal gift, and claims her as his own. Zhou Kai’s mask crumbles. Li Zhi sees his greed for what it is. Under Zhou Tingxiao’s fierce protection, she slowly lets her guard down—and falls for the man who would burn the world for her. But a poison lurks in his blood. The curse says only one of them can live. To save her, he lies and drives her away. The truth is darker: Zhou Kai poisoned them both, orchestrating the dreams, the pursuit, the betrayal—all to seize the Zhou empire. When the conspiracy is exposed, Li Zhi returns without hesitation. Together, they shatter his schemes. Zhou Kai ends in chains. Their love, against all odds, neutralizes the poison. Li Zhi takes the helm of the Zhou Group, carrying their child—and steps into a new life with Zhou Tingxiao, sweet and steady, as if waking from a long, dark dream into pear blossom dawn.
