To elope with Jiang Wangshu, the wealthy young master, Duan Xiuze, stole his household registration book and ran away from home. After marriage, he plucked the stars from the sky, held them in his palms and gave them all to Jiang Wangshu.... more>>

But alas, the good times didn’t last long. Duan Xiuze had a car accident and lost his memory. All that’s left was the time from when he was 17, back when he and Jiang Wangshu were still bitter enemies.

Jiang Wangshu thought it’d be fine if he lost his memory. He was confident in making the other party fall in love with him again.

However, Duan Xiuze found him immediately after he was discharged and wanted to divorce him. He threatened by saying, “The 23-year-old Duan Xiuze must’ve been bewildered by Gu to marry you. Aren’t I just a pure and innocent high schooler?”

Jiang Wang scoffed and agreed to the divorce on the spot. “Friendly reminder, we signed a prenup. You have to leave everything if you want to file for a divorce.”

Duan Xiuze was dumbstruck — What the hell? Is he out of his mind?

But for the sake of his innocence, he gritted his teeth and left.

After the divorce, Jiang Wangshu received a huge sum of money, he was even followed by a small fresh meat. That day, he gave the little wolfdog a private birthday party. He was so comfortable, he completely forgot he had an ex-husband.

Duan Xiuze returned to freedom and was so happy, he set off fireworks at his door for three days straight.

When asked if he would regret it, he said with a serious face, “I have a deep-rooted hatred for Jiang Wangshu. At the age of seven, I vowed that I would never shake hands nor make peace with him. Ever.”

When this remark reached Jiang Wangshu’s ears, he sneered and sent a message asking, “Deep-rooted hatred? For exposing that you wet your bed?”

Duan Xiuze was so angry, he broke his phone. He really hated Jiang Wangshu. He swore he’d never regret his divorce in his life.

Later, Duan Xiuze’s search history gradually increased ——

“How can I cut off my ex-husband’s peach blossoms without appearing like I want him back?”

“Is a man’s self-esteem important?”

…

“How to win the heart of a prodigal ex-husband?”

“What kind of washboard is comfortable to kneel on?” <<less

I remembered. In my previous life, I was referred to as a fujoshi. And that this world is a BL game I have played back then. Not to mention.. my big brother is actually the protagonist! What kind of blessed life is this?!... more>>

However, it’s a pity that my brother is already in a secret relationship with his childhood friend. When all is said and done, I can only watch as the game’s main story timeline came to an end. Isn’t this basically the God amusing oneself by messing with this poor soul?! Really?? God?? When I can finally witness a real life BL, why must my joy be tempered with?! God! Ain’t this a bit too cruel of a treat!

Well, it’s alright I guess. In fact, to be able to experience this is already totally amazing. And the delicious treat is already served! Therefore, I will feed myself by observing the capture targets that was not tied to my brother!

… And that would be the first blunder I made. How could I forget… the fact that I looked so much like my brother–! <<less

Su Yunxi read a post-apocalyptic novel, and fell in love with the super invincible villain named Yu Bai. The poor villain was the one who defended his family and the country, but he was the one whose reputation got dirty, the one who was beaten by the pig’s feet (the protagonists in the book). It was him who made a room for the pig’s feet, and he was also the one who was almost killed. In short, he only moved the bricks in the story (only need to work). The pig’s feet were like two leeches biting on him, sucking his blood and eating his meat and wanting to kill him.... more>>

Su Yunxi’s whole person was in chaos, what about the good villain, what about the bad protagonist?.

He opened Du Niang (aka Baidu) and searched the definition of villain, “refers to those who are opposed to the positive characters, representatives of evil images, or incompatible with the protagonist in the story”.

Seeing the last sentence, Su Yunxi felt like he had realized something, “I’m falling, so the so-called villain just because it doesn’t deal with the protagonist, he has a reputation as a villain”.

Su Yunxi, who was distressed, grabbed his heart and pressed his mouth flatly, and then a long theoretical comment would put him down, sent him to the world of the book. He just opened his eyes and Yu Bai was standing in front of him. The man he loved was now in front of him,” How can I get the other party’s attention and get a good impression”. <<less

In First Experimental High School, Tao Zhi, a girl of great influence, had always dominated the world of her school and the finals' examination room.... more>>

One day, there were rumors that Miss Tao had somehow fallen in love with the legendary elite student who was the hope of First High in defeating the Affiliated High School— the provincial champion in the college entrance examination, Jiang Qi Huai.

Tao Zhi knew all about the types of girls that this legendary God likes:

1. The girl had to be good and obedient.
2. She needed to have good academic records. Candidates who had the accumulated scores below 700 points were basically out of the question.

Tao Zhi didn't fit into either criteria, so she relentlessly worked on countless exercises and turned into a ruthless question-answering machine for half a month. Then, she obtained 350 points in the monthly exams.

After the results came out, Tao Zhi blocked Jiang Qi Huai in the small alley. On the surface, their discussion seemed threatening, "Look, I like you this much, so how about you be benevolent and let me take the test again?"

His peachy eyes raised lazily with a cold expression, "You can get 700 with just two exams?"

Tao Zhi was very nonchalant as she casually replied, "I got 350 for the first test, so doesn't that mean I can get 700 for the second test?"

Jiang Qihuai, "..." <<less

Ruan Chacha very unluckily transmigrated to be an evil green tea side character that meets a tragic ending. ... more>>

The original character used all different methods of being a green tea* to the female lead and even schemed to harm her but each and every time, the male lead saved her.

In the end, the male lead ended this conniving green tea side character.

When a cold mechanical green tea system bound Ruan Chacha: “Your mission is to be a white lotus* using ten phrases, and then you’ll get green tea points based on their reaction.”

Ruan Chacha, who had her head lowered and was picking at her fingernails earnestly, raised her head and thought, “Oh.”

Wasn’t it just being a white lotus? Easy.

The green tea system was satisfied and nodded. It thought, she was a bit dumb but she was obedient.

That’s until it saw Ruan Chacha being a white lotus time and time again, and watched as her green tea score shot up …

The green tea system was dumbfounded, “Who the hell told you to seduce the male lead!!”

Ruan Chacha was confused after being scolded, “What? What’s wrong?”

She was actually getting really good at humiliating the male lead.

The green tea system finally shut up, “… Nothing’s wrong.”

It started to wonder how it could leave this weird and bizarre host …

The important important thing: this is a feel good novel!!! Hope everyone is happy reading it, hopefully it will make you laugh.

Notes:
1. Green tea = green tea b*ch, someone who looks really innocent and sweet but is actually manipulative and conniving
2. White lotus = similar to green tea, someone who looks pure and delicate but actually is completely different, sinister and calculating <<less

Shipwreck, zombies, heat wave, poisonous fog, ice age…

At first, Gou Fugui refused, but, wolves in front and tigers behind, he was left with no choice but to close his eyes and jump into the vortex.

Thus, Gou Fugui opened up the path to gather all kinds of riches and honors—

How can I survive if the sea floods the whole world?

Fear not! Turn into an otter and you’ll know how! You can float on the sea til the end of time, and you can store fish in your small pocket!

Hold on! Fainting goat Fugui teaches you how to play dead and become a winner in life!

Although these oddballs are a little bit weird, and maybe a little bit of a waste too, there’s always going to be an odd waste that will get you through the apocalypse!

Later, every time a Doomsday Gate closed, there would be more than a few strange conversations between the gate’s survivors:

“Who closed the Doomsday Gate this time?”

“I don’t know. I only saw a Tibetan fox still alive before I fled.”

“A Tibetan fox? Why did I see a honey badger fighting against the zombie king?!”

“Wasn’t it the husky pulling the sled that closed the gate?”

After the calamity, the State compiled a confidential dossier on the saviors:
