kingdombuilding

Married to the Demon King, she took the throne via infrastructure.

This is a translated Chinese novel. I am not the author, just translating for fun. Translator: Doyenro (Fan Translate) Author: Dream of Chang'an Yin Jixue transmigrated. After perishing alongside the Zombie King, she found herself in the fictional dynasty of Yin. Determined to secure a powerful backer, she, a princess, was forced to marry the Demon King. She had imagined the Demon King to be hideous—green-faced, fanged, and monstrous. Bracing herself for another fight to the death, she was utterly unprepared for what she saw. The moment she laid eyes on him, Yin Jixue shamelessly started drooling. There was just one problem—this mighty demon clan was dirt poor. No worries! With her infrastructure-building system in hand, she set a small goal: Step one—escape poverty. Step two—get rich! -------------------- Word spread that the newly arrived Queen planned to develop infrastructure in the demon realm, ensuring that every demon could make a living with their own hands. No one believed it. But later… Black Dragon City became the most sought-after place to live. Even those who once feared the demon race were now begging to move in! Standing amidst the dazzling lights of the bustling city streets, Yin Jixue gestured proudly. “Look, this is the prosperous era I promised you.” Lou Zhao wrapped an arm around his wife’s slender waist and sighed deeply— "Turns out… it’s pretty damn great." ----------------- * Contact me if a novel of the same is officially translated so that I can stop.

The Unwritten Darkness

There is a darkness, one that seeps silently into the minds of all living beings. From this darkness comes a profound nothingness, a void that terrifies even the most powerful. This darkness has a name. It is called the End. The End is not merely death. It is a concept, a truth that all things are bound to. It is the final conclusion written into the fabric of reality. And yet, Nicholas embraced it. To him, the End was not a curse but a kind of freedom. A release from the invisible chains that bind all living beings, the chains of identity, expectation, fear, and time. He saw the End not as destruction, but as liberation from meaning itself. And yet, Nicholas was absurd in one vital way. Though he accepted the inevitability of the End, he still chose to live. To laugh. To love. To walk through the ruins of certainty and carve joy from the edge of oblivion. There was a purpose at the heart of it all. He did not wish to flee existence, but to live deeply within it, even while acknowledging its conclusion. This paradox defined him. He was a man who understood oblivion but refused to be consumed by it. That was before. _______________________________________________ In his first life, Nicholas was sickly and fragile, bound to a fading body. Death claimed him early, or so he believed. But when his eyes opened again, he found himself in another world, one strange, beautiful, and inexplicably familiar. This new world, vibrant and vast, should have been alien. Yet, something in him stirred. Recognition. Echoes. He had lived here once before. Only fragments remained, shadows of a forgotten life. No memories, no names, just instincts. Still, he knew this place. And more importantly, he knew that he wanted to experience it again. Not as the broken man he once was, but as someone new. As he journeys through this world, piecing together the fragments of who he was and what he once stood for, Nicholas begins to understand the strange truth. The End had not claimed him. It had merely paused him. And now, given another chance, he seeks not just to remember but to live. To choose life again, not in spite of the End, but because of it.

A Time of Tigers - From Peasant to Emperor

Webnovel's slowest burning novel. There is a sense for greatness. Some people carry it around like a bad smell. They make us stop on the street, and look their way, whether we wish to or not. Their appearance might be ordinary, but there’s something about them, something beyond the norm. Something that makes you almost wish to bend the knee to them. Our kings have likely had that something, those that came from nothing but ashes and ruin, in times of trouble and famine, where the hearts of the masses are restless, and they need a cause to bind to. What makes them choose one man over another? It is my contention that there is a true gravity to such individuals. That progress, or competence, or greatness itself carries a weight. That a man might grow greater in the dark, and whether he wishes it or not, by the sheer gravity of his existence, tigers will make their way towards his door, catching his scent in the wind. The tigers hide themselves in the forests, in villages unknown, amongst the peasantry, but sooner or later, it does seem, that they are always cast into the light. It requires an immense effort of will to keep them hidden. A man of such a gravity will see themselves risen, without will, to ranks beyond that of the norm – in times of peace, they might rise high indeed. But in times of chaos? When the world is in upheaval, when every piece in up in the air? Then a tiger from the most lowly of starts, with a competency – a density – beyond belief, as if they were a different creature entirely – they might go all the way. They might be the creature that – though a peasant themselves – the peasantry themselves kneel to. They might go further, and make the soldiery kneel, and then even the nobles after them. And a special class, beyond all others, might go even further still, and snatch a crown the head of a king, on a flurry of brilliant victories, on a story so overwhelming it almost might have seemed preordained. It is those men that we ought to fear, and it those men that we will eternally be at the mercy of. It is those men that we do the honour of addressing as our kings, and our emperors.
