Do they want to live for eternity?

"We'll make you happy. So, don't die yet."

"If you pledge to be one of us, you can have all the money you'll ever need for the rest of your life."

"Love, just talk to us. What do you need?"

"You can tell us everything you desire." <<less

Starting from junior high school, Jiang Qinglan finally had light in her life. To support herself and her useless, wastrel father, Jiang Qinglan had to start working as a prostitute at the age of 13, doing unspeakable things. Verbal and physical abuse, going to school with a battered face, were only a matter of course.

Before Xue Yunxin appeared, Jiang Qinglan had never known what others called “love.”

“Yunxin, will you leave me?”
“No! I’ll always be with you!”

After growing up, when thinking of these words, Jiang Qinglan only felt ridiculous. Liar!

And Xue Yunxin, who’d already become a criminal policewoman, had never expected that her reunion with Jiang Qinglan would be at the arrangement of a mu*derer. She’d also never expected that, one day, she would stand in opposition to her own lover. <<less

The Rainy Mansion was a house that looked damp and gloomy even on a sunny day. It was a place where the boundary between the living and the dead was ambiguous.... more>>

When a mu*der case happened at the Rainy Mansion, it seemed it could be easily solved because the heritance dispute among the residents was well known.

The detectives investigating the case were perplexed by the strange deduction made by Ayano Hayase, a beautiful woman who was freeloading at the mansion.

The witch, Eleonora Asil, has fifteen previous convictions.... more>>

And the transmigrator, Noah Park, had no intentions of being involved in the novel’s original plot of the dragon beheading the villainess. With that thought in mind, she abandoned her title as The Wicked Witch and sought to live a long and peaceful life.

So she heads down to the countryside wrought with deep remorse for all her misdeeds. And all should be happy… or she thought.

“Please raise me!”

And so it would seem that she stumbled upon the heroine’s pet dragon — the black-haired kid that would turn ballistic and obsessive later on — imprinted the villainess as his mother. And to make matters worse, the male lead suspects her as the prime culprit of stealing the dragon.

“How long should I keep up with you?”

She thought he’d arrest her right away, but seems like the male lead was slowly becoming the dragon’s butler.

“Can I hug you?”

“No.”

“Then… can you hold me?”

The villainess believes that the dragon needs a bit of taming.

‘Oh, male lead, won’t you sign a life contract as a real butler?’ <<less

Jun Zhenzhen might have been recently orphaned, but it didn’t dampen her arrogance one bit. She even snubbed her maternal family who took her in, seeing them as merely a stopover as she gained a foothold in Yangcheng. Her final destination, obviously, was with the scholarly and aristocratic Ning Family. More specifically, as the wife of the first son and pride of the Ning Family. After all, their grandfathers had arranged their marriage long ago.... more>>

But the engagement was denied! The family refused to meet with her, refused to accept the validity of a marriage arranged by elders long dead, refused to accept such an unruly, uncouth girl into their family.

She’ll show them.

Sincerity is everything, so she took a room in a nearby inn and strung up a length of white silk. Of course, she figured that once they saw how far she was willing to go, they would need to open their doors to her. Too clever!

Only, once her eyes fluttered closed… it was another girl who opened them again.

The recently dead Princess Jiuling, who was hacked to death during her attempted assassination of the King, has been granted another attempt at life and revenge.

But first, she has to get this petty Ning family and this nonsense arranged marriage out of the way.

Feng Ci pacified the Four Seas, created the Six Sects, single-handedly rescued all life under Heaven, and was regarded as the Grandmaster of Salvation.... more>>

Later on, he grew tedious and randomly found a cave to seal away all of his magic items and a small, skinny black snake that was unable to change form no matter what. Manipulating the boundaries of the realms with Dao, his spirit left to wander the great cosmos.

This abrupt journey lasted 3 thousand years.

3 thousand years later, Feng Ci’s divine consciousness returned. Not only had his little black snake and the magic items disappear, even his physical body vanished without a trace.

Feng Ci settled into the body of a youth who just lost his life. Forced to leave the mountains, coincidentally, the Immortal Alliance just happened to be accepting disciples.

Sitting above on a high cloud terrace, with black silk covering his eyes, the legendary coldblooded and merciless Leader of the Immortal Alliance, Pei QianYue, said coldly: Terrible innate constitution. You can go sweep the floors of the outer sect.

Feng Ci: …… Who talks to their Master like this???

After that day, a new disciple arrived in the outer sect.

Good-looking in appearance, cultivation hard to describe in words, and exceptionally lazy. A salted fish who did nothing but eating, sleeping, and waiting for death all day.

Everyone joined in the wager, betting how long it would take for the Leader to sweep him outside the door.

Until the Immortal Alliance turned traitor and the rebellion army marched straight up LinXian Terrace.

Feng Ci casually broke off a branch from the cold plum tree. With a light wave, the sword light shook the Heavens.

Then after that—

It’s said that the Leader knelt in front of the room of that outer disciple for three days and three nights, but still didn’t manage to enter the door. <<less

This strange event was transmitted throughout the base, and it became a sensation in the whole place.

She could understand beast language, eat fruits, and catch fish, but it was useless, her beast friends did not eat cooked food. For half a year, she did not eat a mouthful of cooked meat at all, and everything was so plain that she was going crazy.

She deliberated and pondered, thinking seriously about Cat’s remaining life—being a house cat is good, there will be a poop shovel officer (a pet owner) to serve me. A suitable poop shovel officer was not easy to find, living conditions were not guaranteed, and the risk of becoming a stray cat was high.

Therefore, she found an iron rice bowl (a lifetime employment), working for her home country (in a governmental position). <<less
