Sister in law: "Qing, why is the eggplant you planted curved?" Li Qing: "What do you understand? Only curved ones are more enjoyable?" Sister in law's face turned red and she said, "Why are cucumbers straight?" Li Qing chuckled mischievously and said, "Only straight ones can go deeper."

Hey, have you heard of a rumour floating around recently? I heard that there’s this girl walking around, weird, right? She walks and just goes around the place, no one knows who she is, no one knows where she came from. Hell, I don’t think even she knows the answers. But oddly enough, she never seems to age, does she? Of all the dragons, dwarves, elves everywhere, there’s a simple tale passed down from generation to generation. Of a girl that does not age. But... How did it all start? In this fantasy world, how did this person come to be? A world where humans isolate themselves within their walls, wary of the monsters that lie outside. A world of magic, a world of fantasy, but nothing seems carefree nor fun. Dating back to one of the greatest disasters known to humanity, the disaster where many deaths were witnessed, life was made. Living eternally, forever wandering about the world. Monsters do not attack her, no sickness plagues her, and time becomes irrelevant. Wandering from village to village, eventually, she comes across a group of excited people. 'Hey, take us out to the unknown, we want to see the world!' This is a tale of finding the meaning of life in a world where nothing seems to go anyone's way. *(Notice: The first part of the story is a backstory. If you don't really like the theme of the backstory, I understand if you just don't read it.)

Thankfully, a glimmer of hope emerged and his golden finger, appeared before him, his "Infinite Horizons System." However, his happiness didn't last long as realised that his system wasn't anything extraordinary as described in novels. The only useful feature was the ability to save his progress like in a game, allowing him to respawn at the moment of the saved file after his death. He still had to work hard to survive in this new world, harvest tons of exp to become stronger and to make matters worse, he didn't have any memories of the body he occupied or any idea about the kind of world he was in. This ignorance persisted until his head was struck by a flying axe, causing him to lose his life, just minutes after his reborn, making him realise that he is in a world with difficulty set on Hell Mode. However, a legend was born after that day. Whispers spread throughout every goblin kingdom of a "crazy human hunter" – a man who always seemed one step ahead of them.

In a world where choices shape destinies, a man embarks on a relentless quest for self-mastery. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, performance, and freedom, he navigates the intricate balance between discipline and desire. His journey spans intellectual pursuits, physical excellence, and the search for deeper meaning—constantly oscillating between solitude and the longing for connection. As he sharpens his mind through philosophy, languages, and scientific inquiry, his body follows suit, sculpted by the rigorous demands of athleticism. Yet, beneath his structured routine lies a battle against fleeting impulses and the ever-present question: What is truly worth pursuing? Through reflections on success, failure, and personal transformation, Fragments of Discipline explores the paradox of ambition—the fine line between control and surrender, purpose and detachment. In the end, the protagonist must confront his greatest challenge: himself.

Qin Yao opens her eyes and finds herself transmigrated from a post-apocalyptic world into the body of an ancient peasant woman. Her family consists of four stepchildren needing care. A good-for-nothing husband, who has nothing but looks, is causing a ruckus. They live in a thatched hut, without a grain of rice, the family is emaciated like refugees. If that wasn't enough, someone even comes to collect debts! Anger rises in Qin Yao's heart, and she kicks the wretched husband out, "Debt collector, feel free to just beat him to death!" The four stepchildren: !!! With the world quieted, Qin Yao rolls up her sleeves to revive the family. Hunting, carrying bags, fighting bandits, she's an expert in all. But facing the fields, with her back to the sky, and her face to the earth, even a top-tier fighter from the post-apocalyptic world waves her hand: Can't take it! Really can't take it! Qin Yao scratches her head: In the ancient times where agricultural taxes are extremely high, how can I avoid farming? At this moment, the lazy husband who was sent away to die (twisting and crawling) (struggling to stand up) (screaming and roaring): My dear! I think I can be saved!

Shocking! The rough husband is the hidden master in the time-travel novel. She is the sacrificial victim for the male lead's pursuit of true love, the pitiful person who transforms grief and indignation into motivation, the obsessive person who constantly wants to slap the male lead's face with money, the lemon essence contrasting the female lead’s gentleness and generosity. Xu Qinghuan: Emma, is this talking about me? Xu Qinghuan transmigrated into a book, into a time-travel novel written by her best friend, where her father died early, her mother remarried, and she was raised in her second uncle's home since childhood. Her cousin and fiancé are entangled? "Break off the engagement, whoever wants the central air conditioner can take it!" Her biological mother manipulates her with work? Isn't it just going to the countryside? The Great Northeast's black land is fertile, where every year you can lie on the heated kang and eat for half the year. Which corporate slave wouldn’t love it? Most importantly, there is a big shot she wants to cling to. Jiang Xingye is someone that even the male lead admires, the future global richest man, the hidden master in the book. After going to the countryside, Xu Qinghuan goes straight to Jiang Xingye. Her original plan was to be a little follower for the big shot and never thought of developing an inappropriate relationship with him. When the man gruffly raises his eyebrows and coaxingly tells her to hold on a little longer, she only wants to ask: What about being wealthy and detached? What about having a strong career ambition and no time for romance? What about being a 007 workaholic who doesn’t even return home?
