After the 108th Monster Population Census, the Monster Family Planning Office issued a new regulation: Given the rising single monster population, which poses a threat to the society and undermines the harmony between humans and monsters, Monster Family Planning Office decided that from this day onward it’s forbidden to be a single monster of marriageable age.... more>>

As a result, Ying Qiao and Tao Tie, two ancient monsters who had remained single ever since their creation, were forced to go on a blind date.

To discourage their date, they both decided to lie about what they truly were.

Ying Qiao: “I am an orphan snake monster with no house and car under my name. My monthly salary is three thousand yuan. Can’t afford social insurance.”

Tao Tie: “I have a temporary job and eight brothers living off my eighty yuan daily salary.”

They both agreed they were not a good fit for each other. But under pressure, they agreed to put on a show to set a good example for the benefit of the new regulation. They planned to be a fake couple.

A foreign monster entered their nation illegally and committed many crimes. Jiang City Monster Bureau was put on high alert, and elite members were deployed to hunt for the suspect.

After having his dragon scales polished, Ying Qiao spread his wings and joined the hunt.

Putting his brother into his pocket, Tao Tie went out to join the hunt too.

In the sky above Jiang City, they had a chance encounter.

Curling his tail to hide his expensive jade tail ring, Ying Qiao said.” I am on a business trip.”

Putting his hand behind his back to hide his wristwatch worth a million, Tao Tie said.” What a coincidence, so am I.”

Knowing that their lies were exposed, they stared at each other long and hard. They both said, “We will settle accounts after getting back.” <<less

Shen Kanyu had chased after Gu Yansheng from the moment they met and all years following. He has been married to him for 3 years, has birthed a daughter for him, and now lives at this house he hates to return to, cooking for him even on days he doesn’t return. Still, he is content to continue on as long as their days pass like this.

Having no other choice, she set up a cosmetics shop in Chang’an.... more>>

But to the eyes of all, especially her relatives’, she had become nothing but an alluring flower any man could pick at will.

Passing by her Baixiang Pavilion, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Zhen, Lu Yan, witnessed her being harassed by the idle sons of Chang’an’s leading class. Her appearance reminded him of dreams that had been plaguing him lately, revealing to him a past with her and the sultry love affair they had shared in a previous life.

With shaking fingers, he also remembered the bitter taste of heartbreak when she left him to marry another man.

Thus, in this life, he decided to save her once more, lure her into an affair, install her as his mistress and never let her escape his sphere of influence again.

However, to keep Shen Zhen by his side, finding her a place to stay and caring for her brother was not enough. Little did Lu Yan know he would be pulled into the darkest corners of Chang’an and take part in games of power that at times implicated the Main Gentleman of the Empire, the Emperor himself. Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.

All for the sake of Chang’an’s First Beauty. <<less

Height 183, weight 72, CSAT score 485, ability 0.

Those were the familiar, adequate, and ordinary numbers that described myself, now twenty years old.

I was accepted into a university well above my grade level as an extra. However, when I went to the bank to pay my tuition, I met a man who called me an ability user. An ability user who was immune to abilities. I scored a flat 0% in every category of the ability test, can’t even bend a spoon, and possess no combat skills whatsoever, though?

I didn’t know what use my ability would be in the military, but I became affiliated with the ability user group, S.E. Jung Haekyung, the one who dragged me into S.E., was the only one who reached out their hand to me, someone who was suddenly dragged to an unfamiliar place and treated unfairly.

Xiao Yu: Isn't she the one you introduced?

Mom: ???

The scene was so awkward it was suffocating. But three days later after their blind date, walking out of the Civil Affairs Bureau with a marriage certificate, Xiao Yu began to question his life.

Fuelled by his desire for revenge, Kain trained hard every day and managed to awaken his powers as the hero. On the other hand, Nord is blessed by the demon king. Nord got engaged in a fierce battle with Kain, where they clash with their mighty powers, which ultimately lead to Nord’s downfall.

“At last…at long last…this day has finally come. Ever since you humiliated me, I've been waiting for this moment. Now, tr*sh like you should be burned by the flames of hell.”

“No…s-stop it…ugh…”

Elise is finally reunited with Kain, and the story ends happily…

No way! Since I’ve been reincarnated, all I want is a peaceful and slow life!
