Bai Xunyin was inadvertently traumatized by stress during the year she graduated from Middle School. She became a “little mute” who couldn’t speak. In her first year of high school, she spent her days listening to the cynicism and discriminatory bullying of people around her until her second year of high school. Bai Xunyin met Yu Luoyin. He was clear, elegant, with straight eyebrows and star like eyes. He was the most handsome boy in school, and was the dream boyfriend of all girls in school. But for Bai Xunyin, Yu Luoyin was the first to protect her, smile at her, discuss topics with her, and the person who had lunch with her. The onset... more>> of her crush was turbulent and confusing in her teenage years.

Bai Xunyin’s diary during the second year of high school was filled with the name ‘Yu Luoyin’. Bai Xunyin did not extravagantly ask for Yu Luoyin to like her, but she didn’t expect that in the third year of high school, she would inadvertently see his “true personality” in the corner of a corridor. Under Yu Luoyin’s gentle, elegant and handsome appearance was a scumbag. He faced his two tr*shy friends, smiled and said-“The little mute started to like me. Our bet ends here, I’m bored of staying with her.” Bai Xunyin could not speak, but her eyes knew how to cry. Since then, she never looked directly at Yu Luoyin again.

Afterwards Young Master Yu ridiculed her, mocked her, broke a table, apologized, and even hurt himself, he used various methods but it was still useless. He could only kneel in front of Bai Xunyin, his eyes red, and his voice hoarse, begging—”Yinyin, forgive me once. For the rest of my life, I will never dare to do this again.” *You are my unspeakable incurable pain. It hurts when I think of you, but it hurts even more when I can’t think of you. <<less

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

[Worldgate Online] the worlds first full-scale VRMMORPG.... more>>

After maxing out the notoriously bad healer class and completing an ascension event, I got transported into a world that closely resembled the game, but in which most of the game’s systems had disappeared, even though my appearance and skills remained the same.

Even though I am a boy, the pretty girl I was playing as became my real body, with shining wings on my back. A race that can “heal” the wounds of the world, which should have been extinct long ago.

But isn’t that a bit too harsh of a start for a level 1 healer?

It was by pure chance that Wen Yifan became housemates with Sang Yan, whom she had rejected during high school.... more>>

Normally, they lived their lives separately, as if they were two strangers living under the same roof.

But the peace was disrupted one morning.

The night before, Wen Yifan was still sleeping in her room, but she found herself waking in Sang Yan’s bed the next day.

Aware that she sleepwalked from time to time, Wen Yifan could only apologize and put it away as her fault. However, when the situation repeated again and again, she tried to suggest locking his door before he heads to sleep...

Sang Yan dismissed the idea, saying, “You’d just pick the lock.”

Wen Yifan tried her best to keep her composure. “Why in the world would I be able to do that?”

“Well…” Sang Yan lifted his eyes and drawled, “is there anything you wouldn’t do to climb onto my bed?”

After an awkward pause, Wen Yifan smiled. “OK, then go ahead and try.”

As the dean of the National Institute of Genetics, Ji Shiqing has taken over the institute since he was 25 years old. He held absolute power, excluding his colleagues and taking credit for the research results of other researchers, which eventually led to a rebellious and despised situation.... more>>

He died in the winter of the Empire’s year 1202 at the age of 31. It was only after his death that people came to know about the various illnesses and suffering he endured throughout those years. He single-handedly withstood the pressure and defamation from the Senate and developed the S305 drug, capable of curing genetic diseases.

At the age of eighteen, Shen Rou was sent to the flourishing Emperor Star from the Colossal Star by his family. ... more>>

When he looked up and saw the young man who had been engaged to him since he was a child, he was stunned for a moment.

When Shen Ruo plucked up the courage to confess to Chu Xiao, he accidentally fell and knocked his head on the stairs.

Shen Ruo, who was s*upid in the eyes of others, was extremely sad because it turned out that he was just a character in a book.

The old Duke of Chu’s verbal marriage contract was nothing important in the eyes of the Chu family. It was written in the book that he was finally broken off from the engagement, but he was not reconciled to return to the impoverished Colossal Star. After racking his brains hard, he fooled around with other aristocrats and was finally kept by them to remain on the Emperor Star.

In the end, because of offending Chu Xiao’s nephew, the protagonist in that book, he was sent to a more remote galaxy by Chu Xiao. In the end, there was no news of him, and there was a high probability that he was dead.

Shen Ruo didn’t dare to have any other thoughts. He wanted to go back home. Colossal Star was a little poorer, but as long as he worked hard, he would at least not go hungry.

But Shen Ruo, who had packed up his luggage, was taken back by that violent man.

After that, Chu Xiao stopped pretending in front of Shen Ruo. <<less

My name is Sota Kazama. I'm an ordinary second-year high school student.

He wanted to die for switching bodies with me and became shut-in at home. I wanted to stay at home too, but I had no choice but to do my best due to my surrounding.

I thought about what would happen when I could return to my normal life, and I tried my best to maintain the status quo and not be found out.
It was really hard for me to pretend to be a cheerful person.

The most difficult thing was to keep the relationship with his girlfriend, Otsuka Karen, as it was.

One day she became a f**anari. If her best friend ever found out, her world would end – she thought.

Ji Qingzhuo was socially anxious and clumsy, with nothing to offer except her appearance.... more>>

One day, after transmigrating, she bound a strategy system in order to save the world.

She had to capture Shen Rongyu, the black-bellied, beautiful senior brother in Xuan Yun Sect, to prevent him from destroying the cultivation world in the future.

Ji Qingzhuo had been single for twenty years, could she learn how to capture the villain?

Of course not.

She started acting clumsy and ignored the tasks given by the system.

While Shen Rongyu was practicing his swordplay, with snowflakes dancing in the air, she was supposed to stand beside him and applaud, showing her admiration for the senior brother.

Instead, she was busy eating pastries and accidentally fed the pastries to Shen Rongyu’s sword, a weapon that had taken countless lives.

After she left, Shen Rongyu raised his sword and shook it several times to make the pastry come out.

When Ji Qingzhuo accidentally discovered Shen Rongyu’s old injury after he got hurt, she was supposed to shed tears and show her care for him.

But she struggled for a long time without shedding a tear and could only dryly touch the wound, saying, “Senior brother, your tattoo looks really cool.”

Shen Rongyu was infuriated by her words and fell ill for three months.

Finally, she had a chance to have a heart-to-heart conversation with Shen Rongyu, where she should have taken their relationship further.

However, Ji Qingzhuo overslept and the next morning she went to Shen Rongyu with breakfast, asking if he wanted to eat together.

After waiting all night, Shen Rongyu, who was extremely tired, replied, “I’m not eating.”

In the end, the righteous sect was still overturned, and Shen Rongyu walked amidst bones and blood, covering her eyes with one hand to shield her from the gruesome sight.

Ji Qingzhuo was extremely nervous, wondering if it was her turn now. Her long eyelashes trembled restlessly in his palm.

Just as she was about to explain to the system about the aftermath, unexpectedly, Shen Rongyu leaned down, and his lips brushed against her ear.

In the darkness, his voice was deep and slightly obsessive.

“Ji Qingzhuo, at this point, when you’re capturing me, can you be a bit more serious?” <<less

There exist in this world a set of six daggers that carry a terrible curse: the ability to inflict a death beyond time. Those under the daggers' curse shall reincarnate without end, never able to know happiness and always drawn to die once more by the dagger. This is the story of "Raine" and "Marie", two souls bound by the daggers' curse to kill one another, over and over again.... more>>

France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

The French-German border, 1916. As World War I rages on, Raine and Marie's latest reincarnations live the life of a sub-lieutenant in the French army and a medic with the Red Cross, respectively. The two lovers are reunited at the site of the Battle of Verdun, but no sooner have they met then Raine finds himself faced with a barrage of impossible circumstances. An enemy soldier's head suddenly vanishes, right before his eyes. One of his subordinates reports the same thing happening to an ally. Four more headless bodies vanish from a flooded bunker in the minute he looks away. These baffling events are a prelude to the return of their old tragedy.

Northern Hokkaido, 1989. Kimiyo, age eighteen, is already dying, an inoperable tumor in her hypothalamus leaving her with less than a year to live. Refusing to despair in the face of her tragic circumstances, she spends her remaining days with her friends at "The Library at the End of the World", a private library so called due to its isolated nature. One day, a man named Kito approaches her out of the blue, regaling her with a story about a set of cursed daggers, knights in the 13th century, and the two of them being cursed, fated lovers. Naturally, Kimiyo is intensely skeptical, but the events that come next don't require her to believe in them.

Arriving at the scene of these three tragedies is Snowy, an enigmatic figure of indeterminate gender who claims to be "a detective charged with managing the world's chaos". <<less

Everyone has seen the ruthless side of Qin Song, the arrogant Qin Song, but no one has seen him holding a little girl in his arms, speaking gently, "Darling, can't you just comfort me a little?"... more>>

Qin Song never expected to be interested in a delicate little candy. He couldn't stand seeing her suffer even a bit, couldn't stand seeing her cry, and especially couldn't stand her smiling at other men. Eventually, that unique candy belonging to him turned into his greed and obsession. However, what he least expected was that the timid little girl would suddenly disappear from his life, leaving him fiercely searching for her. How could she dare to do that? How could she just abandon him like that?

For Ruan Tang, there have been very few truly happy moments in these many years, so few that she can hardly remember. The only year she spent getting to know Qin Song was the most anxious, palpitation-filled, and happiest time for her. The beautiful moments made her forget the cruelty of reality. In the end, she chose to face her own reality, carrying the memories of the two of them.

In the years she was away from him, she relied on the few memories to sustain herself. During those years, he became even more unapproachable, colder, and more ruthless.

When they met again, she wanted to escape with all the unbearable feelings she had, but there was no escaping. This time, he would not allow her to leave him again, even if it meant using despicable means...

Xu Qi was jealous of Liao Jinxue.... more>>

He knew that the pair of shoes on Liao Jinxue’s feet would require his salary of three months. Every diamond on the watch on his wrist was genuine, the elegant cypress fragrance on the body exudes the smell of gold, not the shabby appearance that was there ten years ago.

Xu Qi hated Liao Jinxue.

He saw Liao Jinxue put his arms around his wife’s waist, the woman who has always been reluctant to show a smiling face, looking shy, the ring-wearing left hand caressed and flirted with Liao Jinxue’s chest, and finally leaned on his shoulder meekly.

Thirty-year-old Xu Qi has ordinary looks, a meagre salary job, and a precarious marriage. However, he also blamed all the fault on the young man who seduced his wife – peeping, stalking and cursing Liao Jinxue to wake up, ugly and impotent.

But it backfired and God made a sarcastic joke on him.

After waking up with a hangover, there was a dazzling light, and there, beside him was a man with the fragrance of clear cypress wood. His handsome eyebrows and eyes coincide with every photo taken by him, like an absurd dream.

As he tried to flee hastily, Liao Jinxue pulled him back to his side, his lips were on the back of his neck, Xu Qi’s arms were tightly bound and his voice was cold, like unmelted snow.

“satisfied?”

He wished that Liao Jinxue would lose this beautiful face, his ability to seduce people, and his lavish spending. He wants Liao Jinxue to be an ugly and disgusting man, who can’t take anything away from him.
