Confessing to my first love, once again. With time rewinding, I can redo the youth of that summer!... more>>

When I woke up, I had returned to my junior high school self─.
My job was going nowhere, I had no money, and though I was popular with women, I'd become a worthless adult who had given up on my dreams. I blamed everything on my life during junior high school, and in particular, on her—Akimiya Hazumi, my first love. Just when I was grumbling about this, I was involved in an accident and found myself time-leaping back to my junior high school days. Back then, I was a nondescript mob character, but now I had groomed my appearance and unleashed my adult social skills. Before I knew it, I was successfully reliving my ideal youth! Using my memories from the past, I managed to save the beautiful gal, Chigasaki, on my way to school, and cleared the troubles among the popular boys and girls in my class.

All that was left was to uncover and change the truth behind the incident from "that summer" when the sunflowers were in full bloom—an incident involving Akimiya Hazumi, the root cause of the downfall in my life─. <<less

Even though we had only met for the first time, I felt like I knew that voice.... more>>

Fraulia was a teenage nun who lost her memory due to an accident. One day, she delivered papers to Beritt, a doctor, on behalf of her friend who was reluctant to do so.

She was an utterly ordinary woman.... more>>

From a family that favored sons over daughters, to a job with meager pay, and a husband who was taciturn.

She thought she would forever remain ordinary until one evening when her husband didn't come to pick her up.

Misfortune struck suddenly, and she began to live in darkness, fearing that someone might say she attended a party that night or that someone might mention she wore a dress that night.

She feared her husband accusing her of infidelity and her family condemning her as immoral.

Until everything became unbearable, her typically silent husband sat on the couch, finished his last cigarette, and looked at her crying in the corner, utterly broken.

"What have you done wrong?" he asked.

Then he took her hand, called the police, hunted down the culprit, and appealed. 

Using his remaining life and risking his life, he sought justice for her, sought fairness, and gave love.

The road is long, life has cliffs, but there is always an end to this despair.

[The story of a heroine who, after being hurt, stands up again with her husband's support, facing her original family, facing herself, learning love and life.]

PS:

1. The heroine is not a perfect victim; she starts off weak but gradually grows stronger.

2. Dark beginning, healing ending, complete HE (Happy Ending), overall tone of "though thousands may oppose, I'll go forward," so it won't be overly sweet or cheerful, but the ending won't be stifling.

3. Several hundred thousand words, not your typical romance.

A part-time doctor, beautiful and gentle, with a talent for soothing people, joins the club.

Only Xu Jingyu, who has been charmed by her, knows that Ying Huan is actually a genuine little demon.... more>>

Xu Jingyu, the reigning champion, is interviewed after the championship match. The reporter asks, "It is said that you rigorously discipline yourself and abstain from alcohol and s*x for a month before each match to preserve your condition and energy. Is this true?" Xu Jingyu's face is marked with bruises, blood trickling from his brow and lips, as he smiles at the camera, "Yes."

At that moment, Ying Huan stands outside the crowd, looking at him coldly.

A curious friend who came to watch the game asks, "Is it true? Can the hormone-charged King Jing really abstain for a month?" Ying Huan remains silent.

Thinking she's confirmed it, the friend laments, "You've found such a handsome boyfriend, but you can only look, not touch." Ying Huan remains silent, not confirming anything but wondering how many times he broke his vow that night.

Xu Jingyu: "I never bow to anyone in my life, except to her, admitting defeat and surrendering."

Liang Qiuchi was shot several times on his way to the military court, and his head was seriously injured.... more>>

When he woke up, he couldn't see, and he couldn't remember anything.

To this, Mo Xin only lamented for a minute before readily accepting this fact.

Liang Qiuchi abandoned him for a whole eight years, only compensating with a pair of eyes, which was already considered cheap for him.

Mo Xin was the youngest and most promising general in the Federation, nicknamed the "War Machine".

During the day, he was aloof and cold as ice, yet at night, he would lose himself to another man.

Mo Xin thought no one would see his infatuation.

But he failed to notice the gradually gathering starlight in Liang Qiuchi's already bleak eyes.

"Mo Xin, I don't understand why you saved me but refuse to let me regain my sight?"
"Because I want you to stay by my side, even if you're broken."
"Do you want me to be a dog tied to your side forever?!"
"Yes."

Liang Qiuchi (top) vs. Mo Xin (bottom), strong vs. strong, 1v1, Happily Ever After (HE).

Interludes, mainly from the perspective of Liang Qiuchi (top).

The bottom's character is extreme, with a love-stricken mind, paranoid and submissive personality. Not suitable for all controlling party readers, please avoid if necessary. <<less

Born to a house where women were only seen as tools to birth children, I was already in my twenties. I was standing on the crossroads of life.... more>>

At my fingertips were close to fifty photos of different men. They were the marriage partner candidates my father had prepared.

Those who took the initiative and volunteered because they wanted his company, and those that were recommended to strengthen our ties with other companies. There were various reasons, but I was to marry one, and build up a child.

That was my reason for existence in this house.

I don’t think I can love another.

I wonder how everyone believes in something so shapeless as love. It was only a marvel to me.

That I couldn’t do something any standard person could must be because I was a person who was never properly loved.

I put a break on the countless unanswered questions I held since my birth, and stared down at the photos around me.

That I chose him was truly a coincidence. <<less

“Until the day humanity falls.”... more>>

In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases.

In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe.

An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot.

But An Zhe’s mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng’s eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds…
