Sui Cannong met up with his netizen friend in real life. It turned out that the netizen was none other than his very own colleague at work. He also noticed that this colleague of his… seemed a bit suicidal.... more>>

One time, they were gaming together and,

“Mr. Sui, please, you should keep these weapons and ores instead. I won’t be needing them anymore,” said Ji Ling.

Sui Cannong’s heart nearly skipped a beat.

Another was the time when the school was hosting its annual Halloween festival. The two of them were arranged to act as ghosts in a haunted house.

Whilst they stayed together in the darkness, Sui Cannong felt his heart beating. He heard Ji Ling murmur softly to himself,

“…it seems that being a ghost is quite nice.”

Sui Cannong’s soul flew out of his body.

And when Ji Ling entered the classroom of Sui Cannong holding a large flower pot of greenery:

“Mr. Sui, this Bengal rose is the only plant I have kept growing in my classroom. I’ve had it for two years.”

And with a stiff expression on his face, Ji Ling said clumsily,

“Now however, I don’t need it anymore. This is why I’m giving it to you.”

This is when Sui Cannong really started panicking,

“Y-you you can’t do this, take it back, you better continue to properly care for it, so keep it living until next spring…”

Ji Ling felt subtly dismayed by his refusal. For he had only wanted to give the person he liked a nice present.

In this sweet fluffy tale, a low Eq man pursues the man he likes in the most straight man-ish way possible. <<less

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

In order to resist the arranged marriage arranged by his family, the CEO spent 30 million to “buy” a professional actor.... more>>

Thinking that he had bought a “perfect and worry-free package,” he didn’t expect to end up with an extremely! Troublesome! And! Annoying! person!

This troublemaker is highly professional, he will do the things seriously when he takes money from others. With the demeanor of an experienced actor, he presents various professionally researched melodramatic plans for the CEO to choose from.

Troublemaker: “Mr. Yan, I would like to discuss with you the setup of our love story. Would you prefer a version where we love and hate each other, or a version where we fall deeply in love at first sight?”

CEO: “...”

Troublemaker: “I understand, you like something more exciting, like a Christmas night gift play?”

CEO: “Shut up.”

Qin Fang was one of the most handsome guys in C National University. His visuals were impeccable, but, the problem was, he was a great troublemaker, and knew how to fight. ... more>>

Xing Yan was a stellar student in the Chemistry Institute, but his temperament was cold and introverted, and he communicated little with others. The first time he met Qin Fang, the two forcefully rammed their shoulders into each other. When their four eyes met, both knew that the other was not any good person.

Qin Fang jokingly flirted with Xing Yan, saying, "I’m Qin Fang, sophomore in Global Commerce. You can come find me any time, your Fang Ge will wait for you."

Later, on a quiet evening, Xing Yan was smoking on the balcony. Qin Fang used his legs as a pillow, his expression containing a little embarrassed smile as he pointed to the evening sky and said, "Actually, Qin Fang was a name I changed myself, my original name was… Jian Xingxing*."

From then on, I was not afraid of even the darkest nights, since I could just raise my head to see stars.

*T/n: The novel name, in chinese pinyin, is Jian Xing Xing (捡星星) while the mentioned original name of the character is Jian Xingxing (简星星). However, the "捡(jian)" in the title means to pick up, while this 简 (jian) is a surname. The same two characters that follow are xing (星), meaning star. <<less

Ji Qingzhou crossed into a book of dogblood scum and abuse. There were two choices in front of him.... more>>

A: Choose the genuine slag Gong in the original book, and start a sadistic and abusive romance with Fang Yaoxuan filled with domestic abuse, a dead mom, and leaving the entertainment circle.

B: Choose the cannon fodder Villain, Chu Cheng, and be free of the slag Gong forever.

Ji Qingzhou wordlessly chose B without a second thought.

Chu Cheng was of distinguished birth and became the head of a popular company at a comparatively young age. He had seen many beauties in the entertainment circle but just happened to be fond of Ji Qingzhou.

A friend asked him, “Do you like this little star?”

Chu Cheng shook his head. “No, just playing with him.”

Outside the door, Ji Qingzhou nodded. Yes, that was what the book said.

A few months later, Ji Qingzhou was walking away while answering the phone, when he overheard someone saying, “Ji Qingzhou? Oh, Chu Cheng is just playing with him. Once he’s played enough, they’ll split.”

Ji Qingzhou was just about to nod, but then he heard Chu Cheng’s furious reply: “Nonsense! Which bastard told you that! Doesn’t he know that those who disturb a marriage will be kicked by a horse!”

Ji Qingzhou: ??? Wait, no, this is not what the book said! <<less

The first time Fu Luoyin saw him, he brought him home without even asking his name.

Other people said that Second Young Master Fu had fallen in love at first sight, but only Fu Luoyin knew that the boy before him didn’t need a name, because he was fated to stay by his side as a mere substitute.

Afterwards, he gradually realized that Lin Shuicheng had never asked his name, either.

(Once he knew the truth, the gong shed tears.)

Passerby 1: Are you sure that the research institute’s brilliant, outstanding, stunning top student who’s skilled in the boardroom and the kitchen should really be…your substitute? I recommend seeing an optometrist.

Childhood Friend 2: What? He’s a substitute? That’s wonderful—if you don’t take him seriously, I will! Sister-in-Law, please take a look at me!

Counselor 3: Someone like you wants to sleep with my student? Hah.

Father 4: Darling, we’re not worthy of him, so let him go.

The washed-up magician Zong Jiu transmigrated into a horror, infinite flow novel about a survival show, taking the place of the cannon fodder who died tragically in the first evaluation round. This show was very interesting. Out of the tens of thousands of people, only a hundred people could survive, and the c-position (strongest contender) could even get a universal wish ticket.... more>>

If it were someone else, they’d probably be scared to death.

No one expected that Zong Jiu was not only unafraid, but also caused a sensational stir, shamelessly showing off his tricks the whole way.

Once his tricks stopped, and his life could be considered safe and sound, he ended up in a rivalry with the novel’s big villain.

Today you try to get at me, tomorrow I’ll get you back, back and forth, it’s pretty fun, heh.

As a result, though it was just playing around, one time they got carried away and really did end up sleeping together. Watching the nemesis who was pressing him to the ground, Zong Jiu lazily lifted his gaze. “If you want to kill me then kill me, don’t speak nonsense.” Even when at a disadvantage, he showed no trace of fear, and actually continued to provoke him.

That person used his ice-cold finger to trace his ear, and the action heading toward the aorta suddenly stopped.

“What a pity. I’ve changed my mind.”

—

He was once very willing to personally give Zong Jiu death. Every day, he used to regret not gouging out his flesh, personally snapping his neck. But after this person fell into his hands, another, more urgent desire grew like weeds.

Compared to winning or losing, he would rather see him crying and panting, with eyes red, begging for mercy. <<less

I, Mukouda Tsuyoshi, was caught up in a summoning circle into a different world where sword and magical skills are the norm.... more>>

However, when the summoners cast ‘Status Appraisal’ on us, the three other people who were summoned with me had [Heroes from Another World] in the occupation box, whereas I was the [Random Guy Caught Up in the Summoning Spell].

As for our ‘Skill Set’, the three Heroes had outrageous sounding skills rolling after their names like [Holy Sword Technique], [Holy Spear Technique] and [Sacred Magic].

In fact, I too have a skill you know? My one skill is called… [Net Super]…

Because it’s clearly not a combat skill, I am automatically treated like garbage.

Furthermore, the King of the country who had summoned us looked really shady.

As a veteran lightnovel reader, I can read the atmosphere well enough to come to the conclusion that ‘This is a bad world to be summoned into’.

Thus, it is decided. No matter what, I must get out of this castle as soon as possible and escape from this rotten country! <<less
