“You are pregnant with a little pearl,” the clam shouted in glee.
“B—but... I was only drenched in heavenly rain,” Qu wren stuttered.

Eternal Castle
In a post-apocalyptic world, Princess Sofia fancies a commoner on the streets and follows him to the Mountains of Death from where she ends up in a 17th-century mansion, where the commoner - Heinrich - is the owner of the mansion and the Princess is forced to work for him.
__
“What do you want from me?” The Princess asked frustratingly.
“You must think you are the main character or something.” The man chuckled, “Sofia, I want nothing from you. You followed me. I did not abduct you.”
“I made a mistake. I request you to send me back.”
“I cannot,” The man replied. “It is not under my command. It comes and goes.”
“What does that mean?”
“That means you are stuck here. Probably for life.”
__
[Excerpt]
Heinrich completely ignored her, slipped the keys to the room into the little pocket of his coat, and tried to walk away from the crime scene. The Princess quickly grabbed his arm, trying to reach out for his pocket with her other hand.
Heinrich immediately grabbed her hand and pulled her toward himself, then pushed her to the wall, holding both her hands to it. He frowned at her with all the rage he had in his body. But it didn’t hide the lingering sorrow in his eyes. They could tear up any moment now.
The Princess didn’t know if she wanted to feel sad for him or resent him. He was a confusing man.
“L-Let me go…” The Princess sheepishly demanded.
“Why?” Heinrich asked with anger. “Who told you to meddle in my affairs?”

This novel is the prequel to 'Dilemma: The Chip System'. However, it's a standalone novel and you don't need to read 'Dilemma: The Chip System' to understand it. I do recommend reading it for extra spice.

This novel has taken intuition from the history of Europe. However, it is fictional and by no means connected to the real events of history.

Chapter 19: Cultivation in the Chaotic World of Demonic Martial Arts, Author: Wenplagiarism
20:"Who told him to cultivate!" Author: The Whitest Crow
The following is a detailed introduction of these novels:
1."Book of Troubled Times": Ji Cha's new book, many female leads, related to eternal calamity.
Holding a sword in the Jianghu, drinking wine, slender waist and light palm.
The young man carried a long saber on his shoulder and hung wine on his waist. He strode forward, but the Jianghu in his heart was vaguely difficult to see.
Turning a page in the book of troubled times, it would rain for decades in the Jianghu.
Suddenly looking back, the world has been split into pieces.
2.<<Spirit Realm Walker>>: From ancient times to the present, it is rumored that there is a Spirit Realm in the world.
Regarding the Spirit Realm, there were many different opinions among the famous people of the past dynasties.
"From Qi to Tang, the mountains are desolate and the spirit realm is lonely. Few people visit."
"Spirit Realm is hard to come by, but Ghost Craftsmen are hard to come by."
3."The Tang's Table": The Almighty's new work has 500,000 words. Strongly recommended.
King of Familiars: Familiar original
The light spring sounds like a new work, worth looking forward to.
5."Fairy, Please Listen to My Explanation": A Xianxia novel written in the Mi Tian Building. It's very interesting. The interesting thing was that the protagonist had transmigrated into the game, but he did not reincarnate as a righteous person or a civilian. Instead, he became a weak villain in the game who was bound to die. He was involved in a conspiracy at the beginning. Although he had a master guard around him, he was still in danger. Therefore, watching the protagonist change his fate and survive through his own understanding of the plot was the highlight.
The most prominent feature of this book was that the main character was a real good-for-nothing at the beginning. He had neither a high-end cheat nor any skill. He even needed the help of an expert to open a storage ring. However, how could such a small character use his only advantage, familiarity with the plot, to complete a counterattack? To accomplish this, the protagonist not only had to piece together the hidden plot of the game through the details, but he also had to find a way to learn the only high-level cultivation technique that could be given to him in the early stages of the game before the incomparably powerful enemy arrived. The author had arranged the plot's rhythm to be quite reasonable and had written a sense of urgency, making it difficult for the eyes to take in.
Not only was the plot arranged smoothly, but the author had also created the characters quite well. In order not to be seen through, the protagonist had to act as a rich playboy. His actions and words were very suitable for the role. There were also other characters, such as a natural beauty, a seemingly cold but good villain, and all kinds of experts…It could be said that the author had brought the characters to life.
In short, it was a very good Xianxia novel. I recommend it.
6. National Forensics: Shiniao Village's new book.
The urban system's professional literature. The second generation of demolition had just graduated from university and became a forensic doctor. He had obtained the system and could obtain skills by completing system missions. Currently, he had obtained the Egg-Fried Rice skill and the fingerprint comparison.
Why I'm Reading This Book: Capybara's new book is still a professional novel, but it changed from a doctor to a forensic doctor. Tall, rich, and handsome don't focus on being handsome, but demolishing the second generation will make the rich stand still. The capybara's writing style was still there, and it was still interesting. There was also a lot of job-related science. It was obvious that he had put in some effort. It was basically a daily novel where a professional rookie relied on the system to become an elite.
Why not read this book? One was about capybaras 'water, and the other was about forensic science. After all, many people didn't like it.
In general, the grain would be evaluated according to the situation.

The characteristics of the work:
The main story was about the protagonist transmigrating into a martial arts world. In this world, there were two dynasties, the North and the South. There were happy grudges, martial arts, swords, and wine. In this world, the protagonist revealed his true identity step by step, met his own female friend and family, and created his own martial arts legend. The main story and side story were clear, the writing was smooth, and the fighting scenes were exciting. There were almost no poison points. It was a martial arts novel that was very worth watching.
Author introduction:
"This isn't the author's first book. I know about the author's previous books as well. They all have their own outstanding aspects, but they also have their own major flaws. The control of the rhythm and the arrangement of the plot are all very problematic. However, this new book is completely different. The author clearly recognizes his own strengths and weaknesses. In terms of setting, worldview, character background, and so on, he has made up for his shortcomings. This has allowed the overall structure of this novel to surpass the previous books." Furthermore, the shortcomings of the previous book were completely avoided, and the improvement was very obvious. If the character description of the main character at the beginning of this book was corrected, it could be said to be a divine work. He was looking forward to the subsequent performance of this book.
8."Mantang Huacai": A work that traveled through the Tianbao period of Xuanzong. It was a rare masterpiece among historical novels in recent years. It cut into the civil case and portrayed the struggle between the Crown Prince and Li Linfu. The advantage was that the plot was closely linked and the suspense was high. It was extremely catching and also had an excellent description of the shadow behind the Great Tang. The main flaw was that the characters were relatively flat. The main character was "very intelligent and close to a demon." Moreover, the harem was too obvious. As long as the female characters met the male lead, all their positions and wisdom were almost useless. They revolved around the male lead. Although this kind of writing was clever, it was a little flat. It was fine for ordinary novels, but it was a flaw for a book.
Slightly flat but still vivid characters: 6
A detailed description of the ecology of the prosperous Tang Dynasty: 8
Interlocking and Suspenseful Plot Design
9."Hidden Dead Corner":"Hidden Dead Corner" is an unforgettable novel. His works started from the Kendo Quintessence, and each of them had fascinating settings. Although there were times when one's combat strength would collapse, overall, the early and middle stages were quite exciting. The plot was compact, refreshing and heartbreaking, without any sloppy descriptions. This made "Hidden Blind Spots" attract many imitators.
Although I haven't read his new book yet, from his status as a guru, the quality is guaranteed. His books were usually very exciting in the early stages, but they were easy to end badly in the later stages. It was unknown if this book,"Hidden Blind Spots", had corrected this problem. Currently, it had already written 500,000 words. He was looking forward to an exciting ending of 800,000 words!
The beginning of the book was so exciting that I didn't know it was a new book until I got on Dragon. This was a book of fresh seedlings, and the beginning must be followed. Although there were only four chapters, it would be even more exciting after ten chapters on the weekend.
The Almighty's new book, Get Lost, was exciting. Although he was once a rotten dog, it was undeniable that his early skills still existed. At the beginning of the story, he showed a superpower similar to the Saint Seiya armor, making people think that he would write about mecha, but later on, the style of writing returned to the supernatural horror style he was good at. This book was similar to his "Nightmare Summoning". It had a supernatural and infinite feeling, and the details were not bad. In short, the evaluation of the early stage was grain.
10:"Final Divine Duty": It's still a big deal. How should I put it? I feel that the intelligence added is nothing but a stronger learning ability. Tsk, it might also be for the sake of the plot. Most of the time, it's just a rush.

Heaven and earth were the guest houses of all living beings, and time was a passer-by from ancient times to the present.
The difference between life and death was like the difference between dreams and waking up. It was ever-changing and could not be questioned.
Then, beyond life and death, beyond heaven and earth, beyond time, what awaits us?
"This Game Is Too Real": Moving bricks, running errands, picking up trash, delivering packages…The company can at most let you experience the hardships of 996, but here you can experience the super double 007.
Alright, let's cut the crap. The great manager has called me to move bricks.
That lord said that as long as we work hard and offer our livers, he will be able to get a brand new set of power armor next month. Then, he will bring us to a brand new map and pick up more trash in the vast wasteland!
……
Chu Guang, who had transmigrated to the Wasteland World, discovered that he had unlocked the Sanctuary System and could summon creatures called "players" from the parallel world.
From that day on, the entire wasteland was not proper.
"Red Heart Sky Patrol": It's very good. I can only say that the author of the physical book is very skilled. I strongly recommend it to readers who like classical Xianxia.
Ring of Destiny: Starting…This Wave of Operation Is a Little Fierce, I Can't Understand It
"State Preceptor of Ming Dynasty": You can treat this book as an ancient Ming Dynasty background cover, explaining modern political economics, sociology, currency theory, wealth of nations, and other aspects of dragon capturing techniques in the ancient world. Well, this could also be considered a hindsight in history.
As a snake hunter, Xu Ying had always been honest and diligent until this day when he caught a different snake...
On the first day of the third month, incense was burning everywhere in the Divine Land. The statues that protected the villages, towns, cities, and counties woke up one after another to enjoy the sacrifices of the people.
However, from that day onwards, the world was in chaos.
17:"Who's in Love After Rebirth": Big Love Feng Daidai
It was a very conventional plot, but the characters were well created, and the emotional lines were very interesting.
"Deep Sea Ember": Woke up in the room, abnormal state, unable to contact the outside world, no water and electricity, the lights are still on, the computer can also be turned on, but the power cord is unplugged. He tried his best to leave no marks on the wall.
The absurd story really happened. Although it was creepy, there was really a person named Zhou Ming who was trapped in a crazy and strange space-time phenomenon.
He opened the door of the white room and came out on a ship. He had become the captain and had to go out to explore the ship because he was running out of food.
He was called Zhou Ming in the room and Duncan Abnomar on the ship.
Why was he the only one on the ship? Where was the ship going? What if he didn't know how to sail?
19:"Cultivating Immortal in the Chaotic World of Demonic Martial Arts": Using the differences between the two worlds to cultivate Immortal Cultivators. Immortal Cultivators practice martial arts, then use martial arts to fight other Immortal Cultivators, and use spells to fight martial artists. It's also an old theme.
"Who told him to cultivate!" [Lezi Xiuxian]"I have repeatedly stressed that the ethos of the cultivation world has always been crooked. I didn't lead it astray. It is said that history books are written by the victors. Then why are there always people framing me after I win? "Sword Immortal Lu Yang said this to the reporters, expressing his anger.
The next day.
"I have repeatedly emphasized that I am the one who has led the cultivation world astray. "Sword Immortal Lu Yang said this in an interview with the reporters, expressing his anger. 'Daily Cultivation' reporting for you.
You can read these novels on Qidian Chinese Network.
I'm not entirely sure, but it could potentially be a novel that has a lot of elements that seem trapped or caged in a sense. Maybe the characters are trapped in their social status, like in a Jane Austen - like novel where the female characters are caged by the social norms of marriage and propriety. Or perhaps it's a novel where the story itself seems to be in a cage, not allowed to expand too far beyond a certain set of ideas or events. It could also be a term used by a specific group of readers or critics to describe a novel that gives the impression of confinement.
Well, in the story of the free bird and the cage bird, one moral is the value of independence. The free bird is independent, it can make its own choices, like where to fly, what to eat. The caged bird depends on its owner for everything. It tells us that being independent is an important part of a fulfilling life. Independence allows us to be in control of our own destiny.
Probably not real in the way we think of ghosts. The Bird Cage Theatre has a long and somewhat sordid history, which makes it a prime candidate for spooky stories. These tales might be more about the human need to create and believe in the supernatural. However, the reports of strange happenings could potentially be due to psychological factors, like the collective fear and anticipation of seeing something otherworldly because of the stories that are already associated with the place.
Well, 'bird in a cage' could imply themes like lack of freedom. In a graphic novel, the visual elements might show the bird's struggle against the cage. Maybe it's a story about the bird's journey to break free, both literally and metaphorically. The illustrations could play a huge role in depicting the emotions of the bird, like sadness or determination. It could also be about how the outside world views the trapped bird.
One possible example could be Charlotte Perkins Gilman's 'The Yellow Wallpaper'. The narrator in the story is confined to a room, which can be seen as a form of 'cage'. The novel is restricted to her perspective within that small space, and she is caged not only physically but also by the social norms of the time regarding women's mental health and how they should be treated. It's a very claustrophobic and self - contained narrative, much like what a 'bird cage novel' might imply.
