Lu Yingjiu had a special constitution since he was young– he was plagued with misfortune. Under the guidance of an old master, he married a ghost.... more>>

His original words were: “Let me find you a gorgeous female ghost.”

However, he didn’t expect that the old master was a liar and got him married to a wandering ghost whom he didn’t know anything about.

When the ceremony was over, the wind blew. The old master knelt down with a puff, shivering with fear and refusing to say more.

But since then, Lu Yingjiu had never met with bad luck and gradually forgot about the marriage.

Until he left the Alliance of Exorcists and started from scratch, strange things began to happen around him.

For example, if something was broken at home, he would find a brand new one at the door the next day.

For example, guests who came to his store to make trouble always had nightmares.

For example, when he opened the door early in the morning, the person who framed him kowtowed to him and shouted, “Leave me alone, I will never dare do it again!”

Lu Yingjiu: “……?”

Later, a light bulb outside the door would often shatter. It was definitely done by a ghost

The light bulb had Yin energy, which couldn’t be eliminated entirely. Lu Yingjiu would come here every day to exorcise it, but he couldn’t catch the ghost.

He then chose to stay a night and wait, and forced the ghost to show its image——

Then appeared a handsome man holding a light bulb from the underworld.

They looked at each other.

The man opened his mouth and said, “I want to help you repair the light bulb. Every time you repair it, it breaks again. The quality must be really poor.”

Lu Yingjiu: “…”

Lu Yingjiu then said, “Why do you want to repair it for me?”

The man said shyly, “Aren’t we husband and wife?”

Lu Yingjiu:???

Where was the promised gorgeous female ghost?! <<less

Of course, that's just what ordinary people see. In fact, underneath lies another intriguing phrase discreetly concealed beneath the seemingly mundane information.
"Every fifteenth of the month, the Yin guest arrives. No exceptions. Find other arrangements if late."

On a certain fifteenth of a month, Yin Wushu stood on a black stone by the bridge and shouted at Xie Bai from a distance, "Since you moved to this ghostly place, you haven't let me in again."

Xie Bai gripped the door, expressionless, "Is that all?"

Yin Wushu continued, "After all, I've raised you with blood, sweat, and tears for nearly a hundred years."

Xie Bai's face remained cold, "So what?"

Yin Wushu suggested, "Should we go easy on the door?"

Without a word, Xie Bai raised his hand and with a loud "bang," slammed the door shut, causing even the stone bridge to shake.
Yin Wushu: "..."

Yin Wushu, dumbfounded and at a loss for words, gazed in disbelief, realizing that his heartfelt plea had been met with an indifferent and powerful rebuke.

In this complex and intricate narrative, we witness the tale of two individuals caught in the clutches of their twisted circumstances. One, the “Lived for too long and accidentally became twisted” pursuer, finds themselves entangled in the web of their own existence. The other, the “Lived too close to that twisted person and couldn’t avoid becoming twisted too” vulnerable and fragile recipient, narratively misleads us with their outward appearance, concealing a deeper fragility within. <<less

Shen Jie found himself in the body of a passerby in a post-apocalyptic novel. The passerby was an ordinary person without any superpowers, just a low-level employee at the research institute. Besides conducting experiments, his usual role was to liven up the atmosphere by clapping and shouting “666”.... more>>

After living an ordinary life for seven years, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind: “Do you want to change the fate of a cannon fodder, experience an extraordinary life? Do you want to find the meaning of life, save the broken world? The Cannon Fodder Reversal System is at your service!” “I don’t want to,” Shen Jie replied without hesitation.

The system felt depressed. It had accidentally come online seven years late, only to find its bound host wanting to live a simple life with his partner, ignoring the impending doom of the world. Even as the world was on the brink of destruction, they were still in love—

The younger generation pulls the trigger as the fans are waiting for Ran Shu to see when he will burn thoroughly.

But as if it was only a day and a night, he then returned again on the hot search. However, the news seemed to be a little strange.

# Ran Shu saved a cat and had gotten into an accident in the middle of the night.
# After the haters scolded Ran Shu, the keyboard warriors continued to attack him nonstop.

A few days after Ran Shu publicly stressed that he was single, he had gotten drunk in a live broadcast on his cellphone. And from there, he entered Sang Xian’s house while slurring: “Husband, show them your chest muscles! Don’t be shy; my fans are not outsiders.”

It’s a complete reversal of his statement.

The next day, his car was immediately surrounded by his fans. Fortunately, a helicopter came and land on the roof of the building. Ran Shu took the helicopter to leave.

Congratulations? Where’s the joy in that?

Soon after, the players trapped in the escape game found that there was an incredibly beautiful but tragic player in the game.

The face is unbelievable, the strength is unbeatable, but the luck is so bad that the copy he gets either has a bug or is a horror S level.

Just when everyone thought that the little beauty would certainly die, he broke through countless levels and embarked on the road to immortality.

Qin Zheng transmigrated into the role of the Princess Consort,... more>>

but Qin Zheng, an engineer dispatched to a foreign country, didn't get the script for a palace drama, nor did she have the chance to experience the luxurious life of a Princess Consort.

Because, the nation had perished.

A eunuch held three feet of white silk and said, "Your Highness, the city has fallen. Please leave with dignity."

Qin Zheng: "..."

What kind of beginning was this?

In order to avoid being forced to commit su*cide, Qin Zheng had no choice but to go to the bed of her half-dead husband, the Crown Prince, and pretend to be deeply affectionate, shedding a few tears to delay time.

Emperor Chu Chengji, founder of the Great Chu Dynasty, was valiant and skilled in warfare.

He conquered the northern barbarians and drove out the southern savages, ushering in the prosperous era of Xuan Chu.

He spent his entire life in battles, without a wife or concubines.

Consequently, after his premature death, only a young scion from a collateral branch was selected to succeed him.

He departed during the peak of his prosperous reign, only to open his eyes and find himself at the time of his nation's demise!

He was reincarnated as the current Crown Prince, his own nephew of many generations.

Learning that the territory he had opened up in the past was directly lost, the Emperor of the founding dynasty couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

How useless were these descendants?

Back then, he could establish this long-standing empire single-handedly, and today, he could rebuild it!

As for this stunningly beautiful Princess Consort, who cried so pitifully in front of him, the Emperor of the founding dynasty was extremely disdainful:

"Women would only hinder his speed of restoration!"

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

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.
