As a result of a plane crash, Chen Xing arrived in a never-seen-before dynasty. Here, there were not only women and men but also a Ger who could bear children. Not only did he become a Ger, but he was also married off as the substitute bride to a medicine jar that wouldn’t live for long. The first time he saw him, Chen Xing thought, ‘A medicine jar is a medicine jar, anyway, he is good-looking, so it’s not a loss for me. In the future, I can open a restaurant and support him.’... more>>

Later on, as his little restaurant grew bigger and bigger and as his customers also became more and more distinguished; he gradually realized that his frail husband was not quite the same as he had imagined. <<less

The Crown Prince is dead, and the Great Xuan Dynasty is in turmoil.... more>>

The rebel army is at the gates.

To stabilize the situation and uncover the cause of death of her twin elder brother, Zhao Yan, Princess Changfeng, has no choice but to disguise herself as a man and take on the role of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince, facing the wind and shedding blood.

On the night she enters the Eastern Palace, the Empress repeatedly admonishes her, “As the only prince of a different surname in this dynasty, the cunning Prince Su has controlled the court and the military for many years. His ambitious nature must not be underestimated!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan feels like she’s walking on thin ice every day, her heart pounding.

Until one day, Zhao Yan is ambushed.

When she wakes up, everything is chaotic, and there, the powerful Prince Su, with his disheveled hair and half-dressed attire, looks at her with his dangerously handsome and slightly raised eyes.

This is bad!

Zhao Yan’s mind goes blank, and she turns to run.

In the next moment, her sash is caught.

Prince Su sneers and his voice carries a hint of displeasure, “Running away so soon, isn’t that improper?”

“The Little Crown Prince” with ink-black hair scattered and a pale face stammers, “I… I’m going to review the memorials.”

“Sure.”

The man leisurely hooks her hair strands, his voice low and hoarse, “As the Crown Prince reads memorials, I shall read the Crown Prince.”

——–

People used to say that the naturally rebellious and unruly Prince Su has changed his ways, no longer causing trouble or rebellion, but instead assisting the Crown Prince. He stays overnight in the Eastern Palace every day and even shares a bed with the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that one day, it would be revealed that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is actually a girl disguised as a boy, causing turmoil in the court.

The whole court is in an uproar, and everyone speculates that Prince Su will seize this opportunity to overthrow the imperial power and take over.

However, during the court interrogation, Prince Su, draped in a black cloak, bows in front of the civil and military officials, reaching out to hold the delicate fingertips of the young girl.

“Don’t be afraid, let’s move forward.”

His voice is stern yet reassuring, as he calmly states, “If anyone dares to speak ill, I’ll kill them; if heaven obstructs, I’ll defy it.” <<less

Lots of food stalls, beautiful fireworks.... more>>

Just by looking at them, I felt like I was enjoying the summer festival to the fullest. I was watching this moment that comes only once a year.

This summer festival will never change…

“Hinata, thank you for liking me… I’m very happy. But---” <<less

In the eternal winter of the Duke’s mansion, a cursed beast resides. The owner of the place and the male lead in the book, Duke Winternox. Carol became his night-guarding tutor.... more>>

Originally, she was destined to die entangled in his rampage. To survive, she should have avoided getting involved with him, but on the other hand, she also wanted to prevent his tragedy.

She only wanted to teach him that he was not the only one cursed, but what he learned from her was not just that.

“It’s hot and silent. I wonder what the teacher looks like?”

She read the longing contained in his fingers. And just like all the other female leads, Carol failed to train him.

“…You’ve got the wrong person.”

“Got it wrong?”

The breath digging into her earlobe was hot.

“Remembering the moment I touched the teacher’s cheek, I thought about it every night.”

The voice, soaked in heat and cracked, bound her.

“How could I be mistaken?” <<less

At the No. 3 middle school, a strange little girl who seemed like a mute arrived, always wearing a hoodie and jeans one size too big, with her small face hidden tightly.... more>>

Everyone thought she was frightfully ugly, but once she revealed her face, she turned out to be astonishingly beautiful.

Soon, the little beauty became famous throughout the school, and the teenage boys couldn't help but gossip:

"Wow, is that the new girl, Su Miao Miao?"
"She's like a porcelain doll, with skin as white as snow!"

The boys chatted excitedly, unaware that someone had noticed the lazy boy standing in the corner.

"Yan, have you seen that little beauty?"

Someone chuckled, "How could Yan ge notice such a weirdo?"

Shang Yan didn't say anything, casually glanced over, and gave a disdainful snort.

A few months later.

In front of the whole class, Shang Yan blocked the startled girl in front of his desk.

He lowered his head, a smirk playing on his lips—

"You beg me once, and I'll let you go."
"......"
"Twice, and I'll be yours from now on." <<less

Jiang Juan had transmigrated into a book, becoming a cannon fodder who had pretended to be sick for many years, and was forcibly married off to Prince Li, Xue Fangli.... more>>

However, no one knew that Xue Fangli wouldn’t live past three chapters. Jiang Juan only needed to endure him until he died, and then he would harvest a happy salted fish life.

On the day of their marriage,

Xue Fangli: “I don’t have much time left. I’ve wronged you.”

Jiang Juan: “You haven’t wronged me, Your Highness. It’s an honor for me to be associated with someone as distinguished as you.”

Xue Fangli: “How do you feel about leaving? Would you like that?”

Jiang Juan: “I am willing to accompany Your Highness forever”

After a moment of silence, Xue Fangli coughed lightly, blood seeping from his fingers. “In that case, I’ll come back in a few days to ask you again.”

Jiang Juan’s face paled, but inwardly, he was ecstatic.

—— You will ask me again in a few days? That’s impossible. You’ll die within three chapters.

Xue Fangli remained silent, quietly scoffing to himself.

— You are willing to accompany me forever? With your frailty, how long can you hold on?

*

Later, three chapters had passed, and although Xue Fangchi frequently coughed up blood, he remained alive and well.

Several months later, while Jiang Juan’s heart condition often flared up, he remained unharmed.

Xue Fangli: ?

Jiang Juan: ?

Later on, as the plot took unexpected turns, Xue Fangli ascended to the throne, and both of them changed their minds.

—He couldn’t die.

On this day, a renowned physician from Jiangnan arrived in the capital. Jiang Juan immediately left the palace to find him. He kicked open the door of his room and said, “Physician, my husband often coughs up blood and is weak. I’m not ready to be a widow yet. Can you help…?”

Inside the room, Xue Fangli grabbed the renowned physician by the neck with one hand and lifted him up, his face darkened. “My Empress suffers from heart disease, and his condition often worsens. He’s frail and unable to care for himself. Will you treat him, or…?”

The two people’s eyes met.

“?”

Something serious has happened. <<less

That night, I listened to the hymns till dawn, not for serenity, but to seek a sliver of your soul;... more>>

That month, I flipped through all the scriptures, not for enlightenment, but to touch the pages where your fingers once lingered;

That year, I knelt on the grounds, my head embracing the dust, not to pay obeisance to the Gods, but to feel the warmth you left behind;

That life, I wandered through ten thousand great mountains, not in search of an afterlife, but to cross paths with you –

Gao Fei, will you believe that I lived through this night, this day, this year, and this lifetime, only to hold your hand and accompany you in this journey of life? <<less

In the corner of the third floor of Kanghe Hospital, there is a forensic clinic with a schedule posted on the door:... more>>

Monday, Wednesday: Municipal Public Security Bureau
Tuesday, Thursday: District Public Security Bureau

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

If selected as a player in a horror game, it’s either clear the game or die.... more>>

Ruan Qing had it worse. He directly became a special player who played the role of an NPC in the horror game, essentially living in the opening credits.

What’s even more unfortunate for him is that his physique is extremely peculiar, attracting the attention of sadists and psychopaths no matter where he goes.

Game 1: [Horror Livestream Room] – A gloomy and delicate victim who can’t bear the slightest grievance – Completed.

Those who owe debts always have to repay them, and once you owe a debt, you will be selected by the horror livestream.

Ruan Qing was the first to be chosen: “…”

After Ruan Qing was chosen, various ways of his death flooded the invisible barrage in the livestream room.

However, when the camera focused on Ruan Qing’s face, the barrage froze, and the previously cruel and heartless comments instantly changed.

[I don’t think he deserves to die. Isn’t it just an insult? He didn’t lose any flesh. Why make a big deal out of it?]

[I agree, I don’t think he’s a bad person.]
Initially, everyone said, [Someone so malicious should just die!]

But later, everyone flocked to the Weibo accounts of the people Ruan Qing had insulted: [You can’t even afford grapes, but you dare to eat steak. Do you still have any humanity?]

People who were inexplicably insulted: “??? Are you crazy?”

If you discover a serial killer knocking on your door, about to break in within a few minutes, what would you do? If it were any other host, the audience would probably be excited and want to see various ways they would die.

But if it were Ruan Qing…

[Don’t open the door, Ruan Qing! Please don’t open the door! Run away quickly!!!]
Ruan Qing took out his phone and dialed the number of the neighbor across the hall (another serial killer), “Hello, your food delivery has arrived. Can you please open the door and pick it up?” <<less

Popular idol Mu Xingyu suddenly left the drama crew and terminated his contract with the management company. Haters said, “He was abandoned by his sponsor.” But not long after, diligent netizens discovered that Mu Xingyu is the only son of a real estate tycoon. This left the haters dumbfounded.... more>>

Later, Mu Xingyu got high-end endors**ents and appeared in a big-budget film and television series. Everyone thought he relied on his father, but the investment actually came from the Gu Group. Rumor has it that the head of the Gu family, Gu Yunzhou, has a disability and is known for being cold and ruthless, a true ice-cold tyrant.

Mu Xingyu wasn’t happy with this perception and posted on Weibo, “This is my husband. He has a gentle personality and good health!”

In the previous life, Mu Xingyu mistakenly trusted a scumbag and caused Gu Yunzhou’s death, with Gu Yunzhou even begging for the scumbag’s mercy before his death. Given a second chance, Mu Xingyu decisively married Gu Yunzhou and, using his skills, woke him up.

In the 26th year of Xingyuan’s establishment, the universe entered an era of rapid development. Lu Xingwang, the third prince of the strongest planet, Stan Star, was weak and sickly.

Shen Ning: “Ahem, cough, cough, what did you say!”

Gong’s weird friends: “Don’t think it’s a big deal that Xie Yin likes you, you are just a substitute… there will be angels who will love you for you.”

Shen Ning: ? Why suddenly poetic?

Later, when Gong’s ex-boyfriend returned to China, he sat elegantly in front of Shen Ning and said to him: “Did you know? Xie Yin likes to hear me play the piano the most.”

Shen Ning lowered his head and replied: “I don’t know, I just know that if you don’t return my phone to me, this place will soon be surrounded by police cars and ambulances.”

Shen Ning had just taken the phone back, and from the other end: “Why didn’t you answer my call?!”

Shen Ning frowned: “Your ex-boyfriend took the phone away.”

“You just gave it to him because he took it?” Xie Yin said angrily, “You’re driving me crazy on purpose!”

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.

The male lead smiled brightly as he picked up the bloodstained handkerchief I had carelessly tossed aside.
