In the 13th Year of Jian’an (208 AD), under a flickering oil lamp, a white-bearded old man handed over a bag made of cloth to the jail guard. He whispered, “He who obtains this Classic can save lives.”... more>>

The old man was none other than Hua Tuo, who was set to be executed by Cao Cao. Before his death, he wrote the Classic of the Black Satchel (青囊書), wanting to just continue to save lives.

In the history books, the book was burnt due to the jailer’s fear of breaking the law. It had never seen the light of day, causing Traditional Chinese Medicine to lose a thousand years of progress.

It involved signing a contract with a ‘Shan Xiao,’ a mountain spirit, using blood, in exchange for the ‘Shan Xiao’ guarding your wealth.

Mu Anqi once encountered a fortune teller who told her that great fortune would come her way at the age of twenty. She didn’t believe a word of it.... more>>

Then, at twenty, she won the lottery—three hundred million.

Just as she was thinking, So this is what he meant by "great fortune," huh?, she got hit by a car on her way to claim the prize.

When she woke up, she found herself in a strange place: the God’s space. She had entered a survival game world.

The rise and fall of life—this must be it.

Just as Mu Anqi was questioning the meaning of her existence, she discovered her activated ability was… surprisingly fun.

While other players were being chased by terrifying ghosts, the ghost in front of Mu Anqi was fuming in frustration—doing sit-ups?

When Mu Anqi was unluckily picked by the boss, she swiftly stuffed a red envelope into the boss’s arms. With a complicated expression, the boss was forced to escort her to the VIP viewing area… and redraw the “lucky” player.

When other players were sharpening their knives, ready to bully this “weak” girl, Mu Anqi threw a storm of red envelopes at their faces with lightning speed—“Heh, Players!”

I'm going to kill you, there are enough red envelopes! <<less

“I don’t understand why you’d want to leave the hotel.”

“…”

The day after a painful breakup, Shu Yao is introduced to a matchmaking event by a friend.... more>>

There, she takes a liking to Director Lin from Nanshan Hospital, a cold beauty and a renowned virtuoso surgeon.

The beautiful Dr. Lin is gentle and considerate. She picks Shu Yao up from work every day, leaning against her red car, her ink-black hair falling over her shoulders, the shadows of her thick, long eyelashes gracing her eyes.

She is always so affectionate, reluctant to part, as if she cherishes Shu Yao completely—a feeling Shu Yao thoroughly enjoys.

Until one time, after getting drunk and running into her ex-girlfriend, Shu Yao returns home and tearfully pours her heart out while hugging Director Lin’s slender waist, asking, “Will you… will you cheat on me like she did?”

Lin Ran falls silent.

From the soft plaid sofa, a mottled black-and-red tentacle emerges, followed by a second, and a third… They unfurl and sway before Shu Yao like a peac*ck displaying its feathers.

Her gentle girlfriend then asks at the perfect moment: “Which one are you asking about?”

Shu Yao: “……!”

She lets out a hiccup, scared sober.

No one knows that every night, as Lin Ran waits in the shadows by her car after dropping Shu Yao home, twisted and grotesque tent**les whisper encouragement in her ear:

“Cuddle… we want to cuddle…”

“Eat her, then we can cuddle forever!”

“A hug… so warm… we want to go somewhere warmer…” <<less

[Good news] : She transmigrated into the well-known Phantom of the Opera... more>>

[Bad news] : It was the horror movie version!

After waking up, Bo Li discovered that she had transmigrated to the 19th century. In the 19th century, smog was severe, tuberculosis was prevalent, and sanitary conditions were bleak. It was possible to step into a pile of manure at any moment.

To make matters worse, she had transmigrated into a crossdressing circus worker.

This was an era where short-haired, pants-wearing women would be harshly judged, so no one doubted her gender. They just thought she was an overly pretty boy.

However, as time went on, she would grow taller, and her feminine features would become more obvious. The circus was a mixed crowd. If she didn’t leave before adulthood, her crossdressing would be exposed sooner or later.

Before leaving, she convinced an ab*sed teenager in the circus to leave with her. She planned on opening a haunted house with him.

Author’s Note: Bo Li is mentally 6 years older than Erik, but they’re physically the same age. Bo Li will be a little afraid of Erik at the beginning, but she will soon enjoy his behavior. If the male lead’s every move doesn’t thrill the heroine, then what’s the point? <<less

Only then did everyone realize what it meant to be physically weak but mentally tough!

Does your life lack excitement?

Mysterious App offers you the most thrilling and exciting experience.

Bai Cha: Thanks for the invitation, it's quite stimulating. It's also the first time she's seen a ghost in her twenty years!

Harboring a secret excitement, she wanders between instances, moves through the sides of evil spirits, and personally destroys instance after instance.

Huh? Heard that ghosts are worried when they see her?

She's just a newcomer as weak as a dodder vine, how could that be!

The female ghost who was tricked to death in the instance: Bah! I curse you to a terrible death!

The fierce ghost who willingly offered power: That's right, she's just a poor child with no ability to protect herself. <<less

As soon as Guan Xiaoxuan opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a morgue—no heartbeat, no pulse, her whole-body cold. Around her lay motionless corpses. Clutching her body bag tightly, she was completely stunned.... more>>

After escaping the morgue, Guan Xiaoxuan realized that although she had no heartbeat, everything else about her was normal. So, she decided to hide her true identity, pretending to still be alive, taking things one step at a time.

But then, strange things kept happening—on her first day at school, she met a faceless female classmate; at the orphanage, a little boy would suddenly appear; on rainy nights, there was the mysterious bus No. 444 wandering the streets; and a ghost in red always lingered outside her window...

Seriously, I live on the 17th floor!

Every time this happened, Guan Xiaoxuan would silently remind herself: I didn’t see anything, I didn’t hear anything—please, heavens, give me a chance to survive!

The more scared she got, the more she realized one day that maybe these weird things weren’t so scary after all.

Xing Tianqing from the Special Incident Investigation Bureau has been troubled lately. As the team leader of the bureau handling strange cases, she often encounters all kinds of bizarre events. But ever since Guan Xiaoxuan became her neighbor, she felt her job had become even heavier.

At first, Xing Tianqing simply thought Guan Xiaoxuan liked her and so she cared deeply for the lonely girl. But later, she noticed more and more secrets surrounding Guan Xiaoxuan.

Guan Xiaoxuan crawled out of a pile of the living dead and became the ‘Red Girl’s’ curse.

Without any backup, she rescued more than twenty people from the faceless female classmate.

The little boy at the orphanage, full of violent energy from his tragic death, was strangely gentle with Guan Xiaoxuan.

The weird city bus No. 444 that roamed on rainy nights quietly called Guan Xiaoxuan its ‘master’ when it appeared again.

Even the red-clothed ghost, who troubled the entire bureau, started hiding in Guan Xiaoxuan’s shadow, never leaving her side, acting as her shadow and bodyguard.

Xing Tianqing was deeply puzzled—what kind of person exactly was her neighbor??? <<less

As a despised assault-type guide, Lin Yuan has a fiancé matched to her by the state. Her fiancé is from a prestigious family, handsome, wealthy, and impeccably mannered, making her the envy of many.... more>>

Why would such an excellent partner be assigned to her? She doesn’t even meet the standards for tea ceremony, and her cooking skills only earned a “B” grade.

“He’ll get tired of her eventually.”

“That’s right, they’re doomed to fail.”

After hearing these kinds of remarks so often, Lin Yuan also came to believe that she and Jiang Yangshuo were destined to break up. So, when her fiancé appeared before her with a gentle and lovely young woman, she didn’t hesitate to take off her engagement ring and toss it down the drain in front of them both.

From then on, Lin Yuan enjoyed a life of freedom, where the sky was the limit, and the sea was vast enough for her to roam as she pleased.

Who knew that after a few years of living unrestrained, her ex-fiancé would corner her at a royal banquet, his eyes red-rimmed, and declare that he had been regretting his decision all these years, that he was consumed with longing for her.

No, no, no, thank you, please don’t. Lin Yuan, who had become accustomed to her wild ways, had not a single desire to return to her previous life.

Her ex-fiancé’s face turned livid as he gritted his teeth, “I don’t mind your type, and I can try my best to tolerate your shortcomings. You won’t find a sentinel who indulges you more than I do.”

“Well, you see, I already have a new sentinel.” To completely shake off his entanglement, Lin Yuan casually threw out a name as a shield. She quickly reviewed the images of the sentinels she had met on the battlefield, choosing the name of a brother with whom she had shared life-and-death experiences. She figured the man wouldn’t mind.

“He just happens to be a receptive type, a perfect match for me, and he likes me a lot. He doesn’t care about any of my flaws.”

Just after sending off her devastated ex-fiancé, Lin Yuan turned around and bumped into the very man she had just name-dropped.

That man, who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and had achieved remarkable merit, had a slightly flushed, handsome face. He turned his head and said softly, “You…when did you know I liked you?”

Lin Yuan: “…” <<less
