In Maplewood, at 22 Paulownia Street, there’s a shop. The shopkeeper, Charlie, is worldly and knowledgeable, having sold countless answers and hopes.... more>>

A young Duke stepped out from his carriage, looking at him with arrogance.

“You can grant any wish, can’t you? Why don’t you find a way to lift the curse upon yourself?” the Duke asked.

The shopkeeper replied, “Because my curse is lovely. It brings me joy.” <<less

A pill, a tiny capsule encased in a biologically harmless water-soluble shell; A shell whose very existence is a result of a century of research and technological advancement. A manmade synthesis of Chemicals and product of complex processes.... more>>

And in the end, a means to an end.

A way to deliver a concoction of other Chemicals for an agenda; Vitamins for nutrition, medication for treatment, or… perhaps more.

We trust that what we eat won’t do us harm, and trust that those who are responsible for its creation had the best of intentions. But in the end, it is difficult or perhaps impossible to truly tell what lies within a pill.

That is until one day I entered a research institution as a test subject. All I did was swallow a pill I was told to be a health supplement. <<less

Lowly shepherdess. Illegitimate daughter. Disgraceful duchess.
Although she had married her beloved Duke Izar, Freesia lived as though she was trapped at the bottom of a bleak, hapless abyss.
Her family took complete advantage of her, and the people of the duchy hated her for being a stain on the household’s honor.... more>>

And then there was her husband, Izar.
Even after she had suffered a miscarriage, he remained cold.

"To be born to parents like us—happiness would forever elude that child."

At Freesia’s funeral, he had shed not a single tear.
But Freesia wished for one last thing.

Please, cry for me.
Shed even a single tear.
Dearly, I hope that your feelings might change.

Even if it means living for just one more year, that’s fine.
Once that time has passed, then.
Come and cry at my funeral.

*

For the first time, Freesia dared to glare at this man.
The dreadful document in her hand fell to the ground.

"How could you do something so cruel to me, to treat me worse than an animal!"

She was mistaken.
She thought, finally, this man held affection for her. That he trusted her.
That, perhaps... it could even be love.
But it was nothing like that. He deceived her.

"You ruined my life."

There were only five months left before her demise. <<less

"Kwon Ki-won, his husband and employer, was in a traffic accident. To make matters worse, he apparently got amnesia as a result. ... more>>

'Are you my spouse?' 

'Yes, to be exact, it's a contract...' 

'How old are you? You look too young.'

Kwon Ki-won cut off Yeon-woo's words and asked in a serious tone.

'I'm twenty-three. More importantly, our contract...'

'Do we have any children?'

'Of course not. We have a contract...'

'Then let's start planning for children.'

Was it a mistake that he cuts off his words even when he barely gets out the 'C' in contract? Yeon-woo's attempts to clarify their relationship were interrupted again.

Yeon-woo shook his head vigorously, bewildered. There was urgency in his gestures.

'No, wait a moment! Please listen to what I have to say. We're not really married...!'

'Whether it's real or fake, the documents say we're married.'

'What...?'

'Who would dare to stamp the marriage registration without fear.'

The surprised Yeon-woo blinked his large eyes several times. Surprisingly, Kwon Ki-won seems to want to make this marriage real." <<less

He Chuan Zhou had the same dream again. In that dream, a youngster would stand in front of everyone’s questioning and doubts and say with a high-spirited yet arrogant voice: "I will become a policeman!"... more>>

She felt that this freak was lame, unlike herself, who just wanted to make money.

Fifteen years have passed, and everything that was supposed to grow had grown.

When they reunited after a long time, he was sitting in the car, a glass window separating them, wearing a suit and leather shoes, holding an unlit cigarette in his mouth, as if gritting his teeth, but his eyes slightly glanced outside, speaking arrogantly and provocatively: "Hey, Captain He."

The so-called fate tricks people probably means that even though I have not changed my original intention, I still embarked on a completely different path from my dream. <<less

In a tragic reverse harem game, Saintess Daphnela was born out of the 'vaccine program', and she was entangled with influential and possessive madmen.... more>>

"You are mine. Your body, your life, your abilities, and every single breath you take."
The crown prince, Heizen, who's mad with possessiveness, said.

"How can I make you look at me? Should I rip out the necks of the popes and cardinals?"
The commander of the Holy Knights, Vyleston, who whispers blasphemy with a noble face, said.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm definitely not worried about you. So, who was it that touched you?"
The hot-blooded young duke, Roxand, who barks without hesitation, said.

Daphnela earnestly wished that in the midst of the suffocating life, this whole world would just perish.

One day, in front of her, a mysterious man infected with the virus extends his hand.

"I've finally found you, Daphnela."

They were beings who can never be together. However, they were stuck on a fate where they could only recognize each other.

Hence, the vaccine and the virus met.

"If I were to confine you to a paradise, would you follow me?"

Was this man really a paradise?
Or was he the cruelest abyss?

If she takes his hand, how far can she tear down this wretched world? <<less

Following Xie Qing’s return from the small worlds such as the overbearing CEO text, cultivation text and farming text, he found that his original body that stayed in the real world had become dull and st*pid due to the loss of his consciousness. At the same time, he was also taken as a stand-in of his brother by a popular actor, a rich second generation and a few others. Looking at the pale panting face in the mirror, Xie Qing slowly raised his eyebrows.... more>>

The popular actor: “…”

One after another, bosses confessed to him: ‘It was all my fault that I was blind before. It turns out that Qingqing is my true love.’

The young man standing behind Xie Qing smiled with his red lips, “Say one more word and I’ll send you to hell.”

To create a better society, the first step is to clean up the garbage. <<less

Magic? It doesn’t work for me.

Song Nanshi arrived in a cultivation world composed of three novels, where everyone in the sect except her was a protagonist.... more>>

The Eldest Senior Brother was a reincarnated protagonist who withdrew from his marriage early on. He possessed a jade pendant and was known in the martial world as Long Aotian. He used a broken sword to build his foundation and killed the boss of the Nascent Soul realm.

The Second Senior Sister was a stand-in who was betrayed in a crematorium. After being reborn, she became enlightened and had both her cold master and her former fiancé lining up at the crematorium.

The Youngest Junior Sister was the female lead of a sweet novel. She raised a demon prince who could transform into a human in her cave. She was regularly pinched at the waist and pressed against the wall affectionately by the jealous prince.

Song Nanshi became the Third Senior Sister, who had the least presence in the sect. Not only did she lack any special plotlines, but she also, having been an atheist in her past life, became a professional fortune-teller in this life, using a turtle shell every day to tell fortunes.

Faced with the fate of being involved in the main storyline as a background character in her daily life, Song Nanshi, who considered herself the only ordinary person in the sect, chose to be indifferent.

Eldest Senior Brother: “Junior Sister, does being born lowly mean I have to accept my fate?”

Song Nanshi took out the turtle shell and comforted, “Senior Brother, your fate is in your hands.”

Eldest Senior Brother: “!”

Second Senior Sister: “Junior Sister, he has done so much for me. Should I forgive him? But I feel unwilling!”

Song Nanshi took out the tarot cards, shook her head after a series of operations, and said, “Delayed affection is inferior to grass.”

Second Senior Sister: “!”

Youngest Junior Sister hesitated, “Third Senior Sister, he said he wants to propose to me, but… he’s a demon, and I’m human.”

Song Nanshi looked up at the gloomy sky, “I have observed the celestial phenomena at night; you two are definitely a match made in heaven!”

Youngest Junior Sister: “!”

Eldest Senior Brother/Second Senior Sister/Youngest Junior Sister: She understands me so well!

In the original work, Song Nanshi, out of jealousy towards her fellow disciples, conspires with the antagonist and is eventually killed.

This time, she encountered a pitiful antagonist who had just been betrayed by his family.

After a moment of silence, Song Nanshi chose to take out her treasure, the turtle shell, and said sincerely, “Brother, do you want a reading? It’s only ten spiritual stones.” <<less
