In the year 1989, the Japanese government passed the Media Betterment Act, allowing a group of soldiers known as the Media Betterment Committee (MBC) to destroy and censor any "problematic" media under the guise of protecting public morals. As a response, regional governments established the Library Defense Force (LDF), whose members take up arms and put their lives on the line to protect freedom of expression. At the top of the Kanto branch of the LDF stands the Library Task Force (LTF): an elite squad consisting of only the most exceptional fighters.... more>>

As a high schooler, Iku Kasahara experienced the terror of censorship first-hand when she refused to surrender the newest volume of her favorite series to MBC agents. She only came out unscathed thanks to a lone member of the LDF, who protected her and her beloved book. Now in her 20s and still unable to forget the man who saved her, Kasahara joins the LDF in the hope of becoming just like her prince.

But LDF training turns out to be far more rigorous than she could have imagined, and her instructor, LTF member Atsushi Doujou, seems fixated on making her life a living hell. Given her struggles, Kasahara is shocked when she is selected as one of the two new LTF recruits as a result of Doujou's recommendation. As Kasahara does all she can to become worthy of the LTF and unravel her enigmatic superior's motivations, she wages war—both on the battlefield and in her personal life.

Shao Xiaoxiao felt a panic in his heart.

As a handsome and upright man, how could he have a child without even having courted a woman?

And to make matters worse, his child's father is the big villain from those masochistic romance novels, always ending in tragedy.

Shao Xiaoxiao gritted his teeth and decided to pack his things and leave.

However, the chubby child tugged at his clothes and said in a tender voice, "Dad, can you raise me?"

Shao Xiaoxiao hesitated. The child may be ugly, but he was still his own. "Little guy, are you willing to be raised by me?"

What is love?... more>>

Love is a wound that is unable to be exposed merely from pictures;

Love is a sorrow that is unable to be expressed solely by words;

But love consists of more than just pain and despair,

Love can be exhilarating, it can also be blissful.

Even if it’s ambiguous, it can still be mutually protected for life.

In this novel, there are many stories; some maybe vague, others perhaps clear. <<less

“I gave you a choice, and the decision is up to you, Ms. Han Seo-Yoon.”

Tension and excitement are turned into hatred and contempt, and Seo-Yoon's heart is trampled down before she can even confirm the identity of her emotions.

Love? Of course she didn't love him.

Insanity and obsession felt in a calm consensus.

The more they tried to escape, the more they were tied up, the affectionate oppression.

“Nothing started it, as you said, but it makes no sense to end it.”

Is there any way to get away from him before being thoroughly broken? <<less

Immortal arts, magic weapons, magical powers, and the boundless spiritual qi between heaven and earth vanished into obscurity overnight, and all exorcists turned to mere mortals.... more>>

Three hundred years later, the Five Hus traversed the pass, it was a prelude to an era of great turmoil in China. They heralded the end of the world, where thousands of drought fiends stalked the night —— the collapse of the Divine Land is imminent.

Fortunately, within this long, dark night where silence had fallen on all magic, a lone star still glistened brightly on the horizon.

The Heart Lamp appeared, illuminating the vast expanse around it. A sixteen-year-old young man, who will end his life on his twentieth birthday, embarked on a journey to reclaim the spiritual qi of heaven and earth that had been sealed away —— only four years remain.

The road ahead was filled with countless thistles and thorns, and it seemed improbable for him to succeed.

He had taken possession of the body of a hopeless idol whose common moniker was "Beautiful Scum".

He thought he got blatantly ripped-off by signing that contract.

Everything aforementioned had been far from his actual self. He was a sob-story right out of a melodrama; not even close to being 'scum'.

This was the tale of how he, enraged by the body of the previous possessor's shitty life, personally took revenge for him.

So far, everything had gone accordingly. However, in the process, he gradually tamed the people around him.

He posed/masqueraded/feigned his pessimism as optimism.

Sometimes he appeared stoic, and other times cordial,
Whilst simultaneously acting innocent.
He was the sole person unaware of the harem that, little by little, began to encompass him. <<less

Aliya: “How come it’s my fault? You’re the coward one. You ran with your tail between your legs. You called yourself a male but your heart was filled with flowers and you screamed like a girl. You freaking rude transvestite!”

Somehow, their fight turned into a marriage. Since Aliya was still a student… she wanted to hide her status. If everyone knew she married with an actor, there would be an uproar in the university!
