Pei Yan (with a cold and scornful look): she does nothing of use; only steals and flirts. Constantly appearing in front of me no matter where I go. Does she covet the position of the Pei family’s patriarchal wife so much?

A spell of dense fog awakens the animal inside.... more>>

Under a heavy fog seen only once every century, the whole university had stopped classes and was under lockdown. Yet, there would still be disobedient classmates.

For example, Lin Wu who climbed over the school fence.

For example, Wang Ye who was receiving a confession from the prettiest girl on campus.

As a result, Lin Wu, straddling the top of the fence, heard the most awe-inspiring reason for rejection in all of history—

The school flower: “I like you.”

Wang Ye: “Sorry.”

School flower: “Why?”

Wang Ye: “It isn’t your fault. It’s mine”.

School flower: “You can’t possibly be using that overdone excuse, like ‘I don’t like women’?”

Wang Ye: “I don’t like humans.”

Three days later, the fog cleared up. Lin Wu discovered that he suddenly had overwhelming urges to run around. Moreover, every nightfall, he wanted to sing loudly towards the moon.

Students and teachers alike all experienced different changes in their bodies. This strange phenomenon of “wild awakenings” accompanied a chain of foggy spells across various regions and began to spread to the rest of the world.

Lin Wu: “Thanks to the power of your lucky words, all the humans in the world now aren’t quite human anymore.”

[I’ve found someone I like, so I want you to break up with me.]... more>>

My childhood friend and girlfriend, Yoshino Sumika, suddenly broke up with me at a family restaurant.

[Is there anything wrong with me?]

[I guess it’s because there’s nothing wrong with you.]

Even when I asked her why she didn’t like me anymore, I wasn’t convinced at all, but Sumika just said what she said and left the family restaurant.

At that moment, when I was tormented by the sadness of being dumped by Sumika and was feeling desperate, thinking that I wanted to die, what I saw was a beautiful girl who was about to be hit by a car.

I pushed her away and lost consciousness.

◆◇

When I woke up, I was on a hospital bed, and I saw a beautiful girl who was leaning against me sleeping, and I could have mistaken her for an angel.

The beautiful girl, Arayashiki Kohime, seemed to be the girl I had saved, and she suddenly said to me,

“Please let me return the favor !”

Thus, I was repaid with a favor from Kohime, who was tens, thousands, or even a billion times prettier and gentler than Sumika, and we began to build the best relationship ever. <<less

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

My childhood friend went to the academy.

Yue Qianling secretly admired Gu Xun for a long time, and finally confessed her feelings to him just before his graduation. ... more>>

There were countless girls in the school who had a crush on Gu Xun, but he had a slight impression of Yue Qianling.

Facing her sincere confession, Gu Xun suppressed his impatience and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t like you, and I will never like you.”

It was raining heavily that day, even heavier than the day when Qi Gui was beaten to death. Yue Qianling returned to her dorm, logged into the game, and after angrily taking down 18 opponents, she couldn’t hold back her tears.

For once, her usually aloof, high-scoring teammate took the initiative to worry about her, “What’s wrong with you?”

Yue Qianling replied tearfully, “Buhoooo… I got dumped.”

Her teammate hesitated for a moment, then turned to his dormmates with a smile, “I’ll treat everyone to dinner tonight.”

Dormmate: “What’s the big occasion?”

Meanwhile, other game teammates were consoling Yue Qianling, “Who was the one blind enough to reject our little cutie?!”

Yue Qianling replied, “He’s the school’s grass, that one surnamed Gu… woowooo”

Gu Xun, who had just decided to treat everyone: “…?”

The first day Song Yan transferred to his new school, he met his new roommate being blocked by gangsters in an alley asking to pay up a debt.... more>>

The stick in the new roommate’s hands fell, and the little gangster fled in defeat, but didn’t forget to yell in anger while running:

“Look at your little white face, if you find a wealthy woman and get rich, how can you still be afraid to pay up!”

The new roommate looked on in approval, and seemed to have realized the light: “Makes sense.”

Song Yan: “……” What kind of nonsense.

So to block his new roommate from going astray, Song Yan began the road to ruin of targeted poverty alleviation for pure and beautiful male high school students.

No money to buy dinner, so he treated him. No money for book expenses, so he sponsored it. No money for a scarf, so he took advantage of the buy one get one promotion from the store in front of the school to send him a scarf.

The eldest young master Song who already had his expenses cut off by his family had no choice but to learn to be thrifty and hardworking.

Later, his dad brought him to attend a dinner banquet: “Come, Xiao Yan, let me introduce you to grandpa Xia’s grandson, Xia Zhiye.”

Song Yan looked at the boy in front of him wearing a custom-made suit, with the worn out scarf that he dredged out from the buy one get one promotion in front of the school wrapped around his neck, and expressionlessly raised up a knife.

That night, in some male high school’s dorm room came the yell of domestic violence: “f*ck off, don’t pretend to be poor with me!”

However the target of the domestic violence patiently coaxed him: “I didn’t pretend to be poor, I’m really poor. But later on I’ll be very rich, and I’ll even give it to my boyfriend to manage, so how about you consider it again?” <<less

As a recognized beauty in the Mathematics Department of Tsinghua University, Gu Jiqing’s pure and lustful appearance captivated all the girls in the school. However, on the first day of school, he admitted that he was a Gay and reportedly even twisted several straight men.... more>>

Zhou Cibai, as a recognized member of the Architecture Department of Tsinghua University with a height of 1.9 meters and bursting with a hormonal aura, is praised by all the girls as a big walking general attacker. However, he was clearly a homophobe from the first day of school.

On the first day they were assigned to the same dormitory, Zhou Cibai said with a stern expression, “Sorry, I’m not interested in men.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiqing thought to himself: Fortunately, anyway, he doesn’t like large dogs either.

The two hit it off and thought they could get along well.

However, when Gu Jiqing took a shower and forgot to blow his hair, Zhou Cibai would blush and slam the door. When he woke up and forgot to wear pants, Zhou Cibai would blush and slam the door. When he was sick and rubbed his palms unconsciously, Zhou Cibai would still blush and slam the door.

Gu Jiqing thought to himself that Zhou Cibai must be homophobic to the extreme.

Until one day, he was drugged at a bar. In front of Zhou Cibai, he was about to find a young, handsome, clean, and lively fellow to help him. Zhou Cibai, however, pressed down on his waist and said through clenched teeth, “Gu Jiqing, do you think I’m not handsome enough or do you think I’m not clean enough?”

Gu Jiqing blinked in confusion and said, “Ah? Isn’t it because you can’t?”

.

When Zhou Cibai was in junior high school, he had a goddess whom he fell in love with at first sight. However, because of a gay stalker, causing him to lose face in front of his goddess, and from then on, he kept a respectful distance from gay.

As a result, Gu Jiqing took a bath and wanted to seduce him with wet hair. He exposed his thighs when he got out of bed to seduce him, and when he’s sick, he even softly acted spoiled to seduce him. And even the red mole on the corner of his eye was the same as his goddess.

Zhou Cibai finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said with a cold face, “Gu Jiqing, can you restrain yourself a bit? Don’t try to bend me all day long.”

Then that night, he put Gu Jiqing to sleep.

Zhou Cibai, who grew up believing that holding hands meant falling in love, looked at the rubber cond*ms on the ground and felt that although he has h*mophobia, he still had to take responsibility for Gu Jiqing.

So he decided to destroy the goddess’s photo, bid farewell to the past, and establish a formal romantic relationship with Gu Jiqing.

However, Gu Jiqing, who had been pestering him all night, just laid in bed, lazily hooking at a photo of the goddess, and asked in a muffled voice, “How come you have a photo of me from middle school?”

Then he raised the corner of his eyes and lightly wrote, “Oh, by the way, ten thousand yuan has been transferred to you, just think of it as your hard work charge last night. You’re welcome.”

Zhou Cibai, who has h*mophobia, with a fortune worth only 10,000 yuan a night. “???” <<less

Yan Li: Who wants you to support me in my old age?

Yan Li was angered into asking her child's father to divorce. She thought it would be easy.

As a result, Gu Heng coaxed gently, "If you think he is annoying, go on a trip for a walk. Tell me where you would like to go. It doesn't matter if you are gone for a year and a half. Think carefully before mentioning divorce."

Yan Li: ????

When the young male protagonist heard that she wanted to divorce his father, he immediately panicked. He found Yan Li and said, "I heard that you asked my father for divorce. If you two divorce, Yan Beibei will be pitiful. Besides, it's not easy for my father to find a partner at his age... [divorce] really doesn't work. I won't look for you if I have something to do in the future. I'll look for him."

“Just the thought of you hanging out with some other mediocre guy instead of me gets on my nerves and keeps me awake.”

Same age. S-class mercenaries. Their personalities were equally disastrous, which seemed to create an underlying sense of camaraderie.

They seemed to have become close in the blink of an eye.

“Erica, there’s something I really want, and if I can’t have it, I might go crazy. If someone else takes it from me, it’ll be war, seriously.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but why are you staring at me like that? Did I take something from you?”

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
