    Name: Qing Di (青帝)

    Why It Should Get Picked Up: Written by one of the well known authors in China, this novel describes a man rising to power and ultimately dominating the world.
    Description:
    When the world is in crisis, the once powerful master Ye Qing goes back in time, inheriting Confucian Classics, cultivating the truth, befriend Mountain Gods, siege the Dragon Palaces, battling the various forces, and achieve the Dao of Qing Di!


    Pros:
    -Not your typical XianXia cultivating techniques (you'll see what I mean)
    -Reasonable world building, no BTTH nonsense
    -Protagonist uses his brains
    -Protagonist actually uses his knowledge from Earth! (later on in the book, eg., machines and stuff like that)
    -Enemies are reasonable, no arrogance
    -Protagonsit is not invincible
    -Many philosophical discussions
    -"A slap in the face" for the XuanHuan and XianXia Genre (you'll see what I mean)


    Cons:
    -Extremely hard novel to translate (a lot of Chinese culture)
    -Extremely hard read, similar to serious literature, might not be enjoyful to readers (you have been warned)
    -Might be confusing at times if it is not read carefully


    For some reason I can't post the raw link since the system identifies it as spam...

    Best for you to ask @Qidian via PM or send an email through the suggestions link on the Qidian English website. Most fan translators would be reluctant to pick a novel that Qidian would take over if it becomes popular.

    True, but considering how "different" this novel is from the rest, I don't think this novel will become very popular...

    Nah, this is a perfect novel classified as mature, on Q´s forum people are screaming for more mature novels.

    i don't know if I should tell you or not, but there's a little twist to this mature novel - such as the MC turning into a woman around chap. 1400 (I think?)

    BTW, only temporarily

    +1 to the fact that it's less likely for another group or an independent fan translator to pick this up because it's a Qidian project.

    That said, posting it here is still a good idea. Someone working for Qidian might pick it up or someone who wants to work for Qidian might. There's also the chance someone who just doesn't give a fuck will pick it up. Overall, it'll get much more attention here than on Qidian's forums. You might want to post there, too, though, if you're determined to draw attention to the novel.

    I don't prefer posting it on Qidian and I don't have an account for QI. Maybe some Qidian translator will see this and pick it up?

    Qidian has offended nearly all fan translators of quality. This will end up MTL'd on Qidian. Good luck.

    Based on my experience with this section, I will pray for this novel but I won't get my hopes up.
