We keep reviewing and seeking out the motives of criminals, exploring the subtlest emotions driving them. It’s not to put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize, or even forgive them; it’s not to find some reasons to exculpate their crimes; it’s not to kneel down before the so-called “complexity of human nature”; nor to introspect social conflicts, much less to alienate ourselves into monsters.

We just want to have a fair trial – for ourselves and for those who still have hope for the world. <<less

Xie Chi is a patient with multiple personality disorder. On the surface, he is educated and gentle but the secondary personality is cold, ruthless, and powerful, with explosive strength.... more>>

Xie Chi can never fall in love with others because the secondary personality is his boyfriend.

Xie Chi’s only dream is to one day embrace his lover.

Xie Chi smiled softly and shook his head. “That isn’t enough.”

The first male lead was dumbfounded.

Xie Chi smiled slightly. “Brother, help me beat him up.”

Her mysterious ability remained a secret known only to her.

During her pilgrimage to become a priestess, Frea woke up in a strange man's bed.

"Who... are you?"

The man, Aran, glared at her with glowing red eyes, his tone threatening.

Aran looked exactly like the hero in the mural she had seen and admired since she was a child, even sharing the same name.

Hello, everyone! My name is Shen Jianguo. I am a night school instructor teaching ideological development and Marxist philosophy, occasionally analyzing recent policies and measures for my students.... more>>

All my classes are held in the middle of the night; I've never seen my coworkers or students during the day. The training institute's classrooms are all in abandoned schools, hospitals, or residences. The license plate number of the bus that picks me up is 444; it always arrives at my house at precisely midnight and disappears at five in the morning.

What? You're saying I've met a ghost? Impossible! As a staunch scientific materialist, I absolutely don't believe there's any such thing as ghosts!

I've only had one problem recently: couldn't the training institute hold its classes a little earlier? Wouldn't around 8 PM do? I fear neither heaven nor hell, but I do fear going bald. <<less

The washed-up magician Zong Jiu transmigrated into a horror, infinite flow novel about a survival show, taking the place of the cannon fodder who died tragically in the first evaluation round. This show was very interesting. Out of the tens of thousands of people, only a hundred people could survive, and the c-position (strongest contender) could even get a universal wish ticket.... more>>

If it were someone else, they’d probably be scared to death.

No one expected that Zong Jiu was not only unafraid, but also caused a sensational stir, shamelessly showing off his tricks the whole way.

Once his tricks stopped, and his life could be considered safe and sound, he ended up in a rivalry with the novel’s big villain.

Today you try to get at me, tomorrow I’ll get you back, back and forth, it’s pretty fun, heh.

As a result, though it was just playing around, one time they got carried away and really did end up sleeping together. Watching the nemesis who was pressing him to the ground, Zong Jiu lazily lifted his gaze. “If you want to kill me then kill me, don’t speak nonsense.” Even when at a disadvantage, he showed no trace of fear, and actually continued to provoke him.

That person used his ice-cold finger to trace his ear, and the action heading toward the aorta suddenly stopped.

“What a pity. I’ve changed my mind.”

—

He was once very willing to personally give Zong Jiu death. Every day, he used to regret not gouging out his flesh, personally snapping his neck. But after this person fell into his hands, another, more urgent desire grew like weeds.

Compared to winning or losing, he would rather see him crying and panting, with eyes red, begging for mercy. <<less

It’s the era of Transmigration.... more>>

I wanted to possess a body of a rich young lady in a Rofan childcare novel, and live while receiving lots of love.

No. 1 to be avoided!

No. 1 in frustrating the reader!

I possessed someone inside an infinite return novel called: Return Until the World is Saved.

Forget being a young lady from a prominent family, I will soon be ruined because the survival difficulty of the original work is S-Class.

I became an extra. Ailette, the young daughter of a servant in the Count’s manor.

We are poor, but it’s a happy life between a kind brother and a good father.

I’ve got a best friend I’ve never made before because I was always busy.

Even the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau are openly fond of me.

I’m living a life full of confidence.

On top of that, I accidentally bought the ‘After-Life Insurance’ full package just before my death.

I leveled up with the high-speed growth buff, and diligently destroyed the original plot.

Thanks to plenty of special privileges, I came to give satisfaction for all the frustrated readers of the original work.

Zhao Yelan was born as a criminal s*ave and was rescued by the Third Prince. After years of painstaking efforts to put him on the throne, Zhao Yelan became a sycophantic minister whom everyone detested, but he was actually given a marriage by that person to general Yan Mingting, the lone star of Tiansha.... more>>

The general caused the death of his own father, his mother, his wife, and his dog. Everyone hoped that the curse would also kill Zhao Yelan as soon as possible.

On the wedding night, Zhao Yelan, who was dressed in red, took out a dagger, his eyes sharp: “What do you want?”

Yan Mingting held his hand tightly, and borrowed his dagger to carve a large character on the head of the bed – – Early.

“You’re weak and frail, get up early every day and practice horse stance with me!”

“?”

The common people thought this marriage was truly wonderful!

They heard that this big minister was beaten every day. He had to repair the roof tiles when the house leaked and also work in the kitchen. He served his husband and was very obedient, and from then on, he didn’t dare condemn people.

Hey, the general was truly mighty!

Zhao Yelan sat lazily by the bed, playing with the dagger, and raised the ends of his eyes slightly: “Where did these rumors come from?”

“From my dog mouth.” Yan Mingting, who was in horse stance, patted his thigh. “Madam, please take the seat of honor. You don’t have to get up early tomorrow.” <<less

“You… don’t f^cking believe that I really like you, do you?” He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb.

“Your so-called liking is nothing more than being attracted to my looks,” the impoverished student Ji Anning coldly replied.

Later, Ji Anning’s soul drifted and saw the true feelings of the wealthy man who had been pestering her all along. He stood on the rooftop, gazing at the dark night, and whispered, “I have avenged you.”

With a single thought, Ji Anning is reborn to her first year of college. At this time, she hasn’t died yet, and his hands hasn’t been stained with blood for her.

“Ji Anning, don’t even think about escaping from my grasp,” he released her lips and held her jaw viciously.

“What do you like about me? Isn’t it just being attracted to my looks?” Ji Anning smiled slightly, tiptoed, and kissed Wen Yu’s thin and sexy lips.

When I first saw you in the crowd, I saw you inside my heart. I want to shelter you from the wind and rain and hold you in my arms.

[At first glance, it’s you. You’re everything to me, in life and death.]

In her previous life, the impoverished girl Ji Anning was pursued relentlessly by a wealthy second-generation man named Wen Yu, whom she found annoying.

According to popular legend, the war god of Da Liang Huo Wujiu was once captured by the enemy country. His meridians were severed and both his legs broken before he was thrown into prison. In order to humiliate him, that dissolute ruler even gifted him to his cutsleeve brother as a concubine.... more>>

General Huo suffered a great deal of humiliation and insult. He bided his time for three years before the cicada shed his skin and he escaped back to Da Jing. After treating his crippled legs, he led his army in three months to storm the enemy’s capital, slaughter its emperor, raze its capital, and finally beheaded that garbage cutsleeve, hanging his head on the city walls for three whole years.

Since then, the world has been united.

——

Jiang Suizhou, a history department graduate advisor at a certain university, received a dissertation which used these unofficial histories of Huo Wujiu as their basis, and criticized the student to no end.

When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into that cutsleeve prince from the stories.

There were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. A servant came, sending word that the disabled general of the enemy state had already entered the prince's manor in his wedding sedan.

Facing down General Huo, who had been tortured to the verge of death, dressed in red wedding clothes, glaring balefully, Jiang Suizhou only then knew - these wild stories could also come true.

And cause him to be beheaded for public display, his head hung on the city walls for three years.

Jiang Suizhou’s only option was to provide for General Huo well.

The overt and covert attacks of the imperial court, the witless ruler's every possible humiliations -- he grit his teeth and absorbed it all, all in the hopes that in three years time, he could but keep this head of his.

Of course, he didn’t dare to even dream of asking this 9 ci* tall “concubine” to actually serve him.

However, before the three years was up, General Huo’s legs actually healed on their own.

Not only did he slaughter the useless ruler and unified the country, but he also forcefully blocked him in the room and insisted on fulfilling his duty as "concubine."

Patient A: When I first grew 18 tent**les, I was having a great time eating [beep—] by the seaside. As soon as Dr. Lu came, he cut 17 of them for me. He’s really a brilliant doctor!

Patient B: I am a poisonous mushroom. My spores are highly toxic and can be parasitic. I gave birth to hundreds of thousands of microspores, which made it worse for my already poor family. Dr. Lu helped me practice family planning when he came. This great kindness will forever be remembered!

Patient C: I have eight mouths. I was a picky eater and only ate meat, so I set up a slaughterhouse for this purpose. But then, Dr. Lu cured my picky eating. This woman of faith is willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of her life in exchange for Dr. Lu’s happiness and well-being in this life.

She lost the memories she had of the three hundred years before the Catastrophe of Chaos occurred, which caused her to forget the love that was buried deep in her heart.

But she will never forget how this person quietly stayed by her side for sixty thousand years. She will never forget the thousands of years he spent in the Northern Sea, frozen in time. She will never forget how he stood on Qinglong Terrace, enduring the pain of having his bones crushed and body burnt. She will never forget how he chose to shatter his spirit into a million pieces, turning himself into ash, just so she could live.

Now, in the desolation of the Nine provinces and the loneliness of the Three Realms, she was the only figure standing on Gan Kun Platform.

In this lifetime, she is able to stand in front of all the immortals and gods. She is able to stand in front of the innumerable people and spirits living in the Nine provinces and Eight Lands. She is able to stand in front of her deceased father, God Qing Tian. But she couldn’t stand straight and prove herself worthy in front of one person.

She owes him so much more than one hundred and thirty thousand years. She is indebted to him for more than three lifetimes.

This time, she would be the one waiting for him to return. Even if millions of years pass, she would never, ever leave. <<less

She felt pity for the young master, confined in his room without a single friend and nameless. He was stricken with illness, so she brought him lotus lanterns, delicious foods, and took care of him.

“You’re so strange.”

Following this, the young master began to display a strange attachment. However, on the day the demon attacked the village, she witnesses the young master devoured by the demon before her very own eyes. In trying to save him, Beodeul’s identity as the descendant of a traitor is revealed.
“Listen, traitor. The Great Demon, sealed a hundred years ago, has awakened. Find it and destroy it. If you accomplish that, I shall lift your curse of treason passed down from your ancestors.”
Thus, she was treated like the king’s dog for four years. And then, she met the young master who she believed was dead.

In front of the man who smiled so gracefully, the love she had buried with the death of the young master four years ago, suddenly came back to life. The man, who had been staring intently at Sahye as if he would unravel all her secrets, suddenly smiled an unfamiliar smile.
