Ten-year boyfriend is marrying a rich family; Fang Xingzhou broke up with him in sadness.

After the breakup, the boyfriend seems to have gone crazy.

He launched a frantic assault on Fang Xingzhou, acting temperamental, expressing jealousy everywhere, crazy, more and more unlike a normal human ……

At a certain family dinner, he opened a medical report in front of the whole family.

“My wife,” he said with deep emotion and a beautiful, eye-catching smile, “I am pregnant, and we are going to be together forever and ever.”

Fang Xingzhou, a doctor: “?”

Who is pregnant? How? Using where?

Although he felt that this matter was incredibly weird, after seeing the DNA report, Fang Xingzhou still took responsibility.

The misunderstanding about the marriage was resolved and they got back together.

Pregnant boyfriend’s possessiveness gets stronger than ever, Fang Xingzhou patiently took care for ten months, fifteen months, twenty months …… finally waited for the birth of the child.

He guarded the night and rushed over when he heard any activity-

The …… beautiful and incomparable lover was left with only a head, and the room was full of writhing tent**les, and in the middle of the tent**les was a bloody egg that was protected.

” Honey,” the head spoke with a face full of happiness, “look at our child.”

.

And then later.

Things got even weirder.

Fang Xingzhou looked at the little monster that hugged him and called him daddy, and saw a hint of cuteness in those pairs of scarlet pupil-less eyes.

His lover hugged him from behind and rubbed his shoulder tenderly, his voice cold and deep, “The child looks so much like you.”

Fang Xingzhou was silent for a long time and pinched his son’s tent**les.

Well ……

If you say so. <<less

The former top engineering student Wei San transmigrated into an interstellar child who was deprived of education. By picking up garbage and turning waste into treasure, she finally saved a sum of money before the opening season of school and immediately signed up.... more>>

She planned to become a Mecha Engineer in the future. It was said that it can make a lot of money and was closely related to her own original specialization. Plan pass √

Unexpectedly, because of her greed for cheap tuition fees, Wei San reported to the wrong major and became a mecha individual fighter——those violent maniacs who licks blood all day

Wei·Gentle & Quiet·Impoverished·Engineer: “……”

However, the environment could not make her give in, and Wei San decided to learn by herself in her spare time.

During the training period of a certain competition, the media interviewed and photographed the individual fighters of each school in turn, which was broadcast live on the whole interstellar network. The audience could see that everyone was training desperately, such as gravity pressurization, close combat, long-distance entanglement and so on.

【YY’s melee is too strong. Who dares to melee when the light saber is out!】

【ww’s whipping skills are too superb, NB(F****** great)! ! !】

Then Wei San was recorded sitting cross legged in the training hall, looking down and concentrating on reading a book.

【What’s that Wei San looking at?】

As the camera zoomed in, the cover of the book in Wei San’s hand was immediately seen clearly by the whole star network: “Qing Fei teaches you to become a mecha master in 21 days”

Audience：……

As long as one hears the title of the novel, they could tell it wasn’t read by serious people.

The next day, the star net headline: A military academy student was overwhelmed and mentally disordered during training, trying to change careers. <<less

To keep his secret, he must become the mask – must make himself be seen as more savage, more fearless than any others – a paragon of his race in the eyes of the whole world.

One day, a dragon egg waiting to recognise the ‘Chosen One’ as its Master through a blood rite suddenly hatched prematurely beside the ‘Villain’.

After seeing the strange and dangerous outside world, the weak and pitiful Chen Xing only wanted to hide.

But the man she was connected to by destiny was truly fearful – he even loved to seek places of danger.

Sob, she’s still a dragon baby, so why is her life so tough?

Everyone: You are a majestic Silver Dragon!

Chen Xing: But what does that have to do with me being weak, cowardly, and afraid of death?

Qin Ji never thought that in his past life, he’d die with a dragon and, in this life, be reborn with her too.

But looking at this gluttonous and lazy dragon who loved luxury and pleasure, he’d often wonder whether it was his memory or the world he was reborn in that was wrong. <<less

In this life, I will live for you.

In the novel, apart from a protagonist who occupies all the heavenly fortune, the essential was the powerful tragic villains. They were either amazing or powerful, but due to the crazy obsession with the protagonist, they became paranoid and insane, and finally became the villain that everyone hated.... more>>

The authors abused their bodies and their hearts. There was no place to take root and no place to be buried. In the end, they became bitter in life. They did not see the light of day, they were not loved, and they did not know any sweetness. The world hated them, shunned them, and showed them no kindness.

The readers cried a lot and begged the author to give them a good ending and not abuse them. But the unscrupulous authors said: villains, of course, the more miserable the better, the more bitter the better, the more ruthless the better. It is better to break an arm and a leg.

#The worse the readers cry, the happier I am#

However, perhaps because the readers’ resentment was too great, one day these unscrupulous authors suddenly found themselves bound to a system.

System: Please save them.

Authors: Who?

System: Your villains.

Authors: What?!

System pulled things out of his pocket: Come on, this disfigured villain is yours, this villain with a broken leg is yours, and this crazy villain is being criticized…

Authors knelt down and spat out their old blood: Please let me go! <<less

“My dearest husband, come follow me back to the mountains.”

Ji Lang was amused. Amongst the ghosts he had met, this was the first time he met one who came to groomnap.

“In that case, shouldn’t we first have our nuptial night?” said Ji Lang. Wu Miaomiao tilted her head. She felt it was logical and headed home with her husband.

Ji Lang was the reincarnation of Ephialtes. It was said that if he was to be fully awakened, he would possess the powers to drown the entire human population in their nightmares. He could enter into anybody’s dreams, probe into their dreamscapes and pry into their deepest secrets.

Because of this ability, for these 20 years, Ji Lang could not have a good night's sleep. He was forced to sink into all sorts of nightmares till the day he met the girl from the Witch Clan. On the first day he met her, he slept on her bed.

Ji Lang: “You said that you are my wife? (I finally can have a proper sleep (#^.^#))”

The people from the metaphysical world feared the power of Ephialtes. They were constantly wary of him fully awakening his powers and destroying the world afterwards. They planted spies near him to put an end to him upon signs of his awakening.

Wu Miaomiao: “I heard that you people want to bully my dearest husband, I will curse you all oh~~~”

Ji Lang: (#^.^#)

Big shots from the metaphysical world: “When are the two of you going to divorce?”

What’s even worse, he transmigrated at the time when the protagonist shou was already killed by the original body.

At the funeral, Jiang Luo was pushed in front of the coffin.

The deceased body of the protagonist shou in front of him was serene, with a smile at the corner of his lips. However, Jiang Luo knew that he had turned into a malicious spirit and was eyeing covetously at him.

The more dangerous it was, the calmer Jiang Luo became. When his desire for survival reached the critical point, he knelt on the ground with a puff, and forced himself to cry.

Lin Feilu, or better known by her nickname—Green Tea Princess, was the best of all the scheming b*tches that the world had ever seen.

Simply put, she was the proverbial villainess.... more>>

Ah, but retribution came way too early for this malicious personage and she died on her 27th birthday.

In death, Lin Feilu reflected on her career of 20 years as the Green Tea Princess. She was full of regret and remorse over the life she once led. She vowed, if there was an afterlife, she would atone for her misdeeds and be a good person.

She transmigrated into a five-year-old princess of the Dalin Dynasty. In the name of family, she had a sickly mother disfavoured by the emperor, a mentally challenged and daft older brother.

Her life was constantly in danger, with having little to eat and trying to stay warm.

Tang Bai was born into a wealthy family. His body was soft and slender, and he loved to act spoiled. His family searched far and wide to find him a handsome and rich prospective fiancé. However, the prospective fiancé liked independent and strong omegas and was very resistant to this business marriage.... more>>

One day, Tang Bai’s brain short circuited, causing him to believe that he lived in a book. He was the cannon fodder shou, and his prospective fiancé was the protagonist gong. The protagonist shou, Xie Ruheng, was a strong, independent omega of the new era who pretended to be an alpha. In the future, he would become a marshal and the light of the omegas.

No wonder the love-filled bento that he worked super hard to make was rejected by his prospective fiancé who didn’t even look at it. Tang Bai’s eyes reddened as he turned around. He saw that Xie Ruheng was eating the horrible tasting training meal. How could the future light of the omegas eat this kind of devil’s cruise that was fed to the pigs?

Tang Bai shyly said: “This was personally made by me. Us omegas need to pay attention to our diet and take care of our bodies~”

Xie Ruheng: ……?

The first time Xie Ruheng saw Tang Bai, he thought that even when this omega cried, he was still like the omega of his dreams. Although Tang Bai was virtuous, delicate, beautiful, and cute, he already had a prospective fiancé!

Xie Ruheng expressed with grief: “I won’t be the third party.”

Tang Bai was extremely moved, thinking that Xie Ruheng had already become good sisters with him and wouldn’t come to steal his man. There was a saying that Alphas were like clothes and good sisters were like one’s hands and feet. Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of you!

Xie Ruheng: ……

Very soon, Xie Ruheng heard a rumor. Tang Bai’s prospective fiancé hated Tang Bai, but he couldn’t defy the orders of his family, so he could only create trouble for Tang Bai everywhere.

Xie Ruheng: This is the omega of my dreams that I want to hold in the palm of my hands, and you actually don’t cherish him? tr*sh!

Xie Ruheng: Isn’t it just stealing a man? So sweet.

Tang Bai found out in horror: Why are the protagonist gong and shou fighting because of me?!

Tang Bai: Oh! They must have a love and hate relationship! <<less

There are three things he loves the most in his life:

1. Holing up at home playing games

2. Cosplay

3. Collecting the entire sets of Teacher Balls’s doujinshi art books.

On his first day at work, a colleague asked about his interests and hobbies, and Ruan Cunyun came forward with the practiced fake answers and fake smiles: “Sports, travelling, music.”

After he finished speaking, he saw a man in a crisp suit walking into view, exuding a strong professional aura.

The colleagues respectfully said, “Hello, Mr. Qin.”

Ruan Cunyun broke out in a cold sweat: Shit, I seem to have seen him at the comic exhibition four years ago. Am I going to be exposed on the first day?

Qin Fanglu, the co-founder of a black horse company, had started from scratch and climbed up through challenging experiences. His paperman obsession was buried deep underneath his mature and elite appearance.

No employee knows that the meticulous young entrepreneur was actually an Otaku for ten years with hundreds of thousands of fans online, and was addressed as “The Circle’s Great God Teacher Balls.”

Qin Fanglu considered himself as an extremely rational papermen-sexual.

He has never liked real people and doesn’t know how he should like them.

But the newly hired child unexpectedly barged into his life.

A baby face, cool touches. A pair of tiger teeth were sometimes exposed when he smiled.

The self-cognition of being a papermen-s*xual for more than 20 years collapsed.

How should normal young people date?

The old acute Otaku took romance courses from scratch, yet why does he fail to understand it no matter how much he studied?

The male protagonist, Lu Xingchi, had a bug-level existence and easily crushed everything, but one small detail left his team being wiped out.

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.

In the year 2202, the conflicts between humans and monsters are becoming more and more intense. Although the monsters are strong, the fantastical species that used to rule the continent have all but disappeared.

Shi An, the Shi family’s youngest son, is Mage Academy’s infamous mage who has no magic power. Each student’s magic power is measured at the beginning of the school year. Shi An looked at the three destroyed magic detection equipment and innocently asked, “Eh? Are these equipment’s quality not very good?”
