“I shall serve you as if I loved you, my lady.”

An earl's daughter and a lover of paintings, Riz, is told “Give yourself to me” by John, the temporary art gallery manager employed by her uncle. However, those words weren’t of love or romance, but because he wanted the “Holy Eyes” that could see the demons lurking in paintings which Riz had. Pressed into a contract by John, who was actually a demon, the response Riz gave was— that she was going to own a demon!?

This is a love fantasy concerning the painting of an unconventional young lady and a caustic demon! <<less

The life of a traveling merchant is a lonely one, a fact with which Kraft Lawrence is well acquainted. Wandering from town to town with... more>> just his horse, cart, and whatever wares have come his way, the peddler has pretty well settled into his routine—that is, until the night Lawrence finds a wolf goddess asleep in his cart. Taking the form of a fetching girl with wolf ears and a tail, Holo has wearied of tending to harvests in the countryside and strikes up a bargain with the merchant to lend him the cunning of “Holo the Wisewolf” to increase his profits in exchange for taking her along on his travels. What kind of businessman could turn down such an offer? Lawrence soon learns, though, that having an ancient goddess as a traveling companion can be a bit of a mixed blessing. Will this wolf girl turn out to be too wild to tame? <<less

“Then why don’t I marry you!” Yu Dong suddenly proposed.... more>>

“You…” Xia Feng thought he had misheard.

“You see, you’re looking for someone to marry to ease your mother’s heart, and I also want to get married. We’re right in front of the doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and with all our papers too!” Yu Dong exclaimed while holding up her red household book.

“And the most important thing is that we just broke up with our exes. This is fate, ah!”

Right up until they left the Civil Affairs Bureau again, holding a newly registered red book, Xia Feng remained dazed still wondering, how did he end up getting married?

Did he just pick up a wife at the doors to the Civil Affairs Bureau?

What Xia Feng doesn’t know is that Yu Dong traveled back in time from 10 years in the future.

Now, having a second chance in life and able to secure a good husband, Yu Dong will live her life at full throttle and without regrets. <<less

What was even more shocking than how Li Wei won the world’s highest prize in theoretical physics at such a young age of 35 years old was the fact that he was found dead at home due to committing su*cide the day before the award ceremony.... more>>

In his letter to his student Jackie, he wrote: I have only been doing one thing crazily all these years, and physics is all I have. On the day it ends, the darkness will completely engulf me.

Many years after graduation, Zhang Man saw a love letter in her physics book while sorting her things out. It was signed by Li Wei. After his su*cide, she couldn’t eat or sleep at night, until one day she woke up and found herself back at the age of sixteen.

–Later, Li Wei, who became a leader in the world of physics again, said in an interview with global media, “I survived because of two essential things in my life: physics and her. Physics gave me the ability to think rationally in the darkness, and she gave me my light.” <<less

A commoner girl.... more>>

Olivia didn’t develop immunity to those disgusting words. Titles such as the first female university student and the best graduate became meaningless.

But one day…

The Herod royal family offered her the royal flower, Noah Astrid. Even though it seemed to be a flower full of poison, there was no way not to hold it and she couldn’t help but love the first flower she held.

Because it was like salvation.

“Where is the princess? She is supposed to attend an event with me today?”
Herod’s cynical and self-righteous King, the father-in-law.

“Olivia. If there is anything that you’re upset with Noah, tell me anytime.”
A beautiful queen, the mother-in-law.

“You’ll stay with me today, right?”
Even the cute youngest member of the royal family loved Olivia.

Except for one person, her husband, Noah Astrid.

He knelt down on his knees, put shoes on her feet, and held a glass of water to her mouth, telling her to drink it.
Then, he whispered cruelly with that beautiful face.

“Think carefully about what I should have received and what you have to pay me in exchange for marrying you. It’s not difficult.”

What she must pay for her salvation

It was the thing she hated the most in the world.

* * *

Noah watched in a daze as his salvation fell over the sea.

“OLIVIA!!”

She was limp, bleeding and dying.

Only then did he realize that her existence alone was already salvation.

The price for salvation should not be paid by her… but by him. <<less

Interstellar World: Holy shit! The cosmic dragon that only robbed actually helped the weak, promoted justice, and went to college!

Online Game World: WTF? What’s going on with Feng Lianzhu? I’ve respawned ten times and my equipment was completely blown up, and he’s only dropped a drop of blood?

In the Interstellar Academy, there was a new F-grade freshman with low talent.
The freshman had a pale complexion and was unusually thin and weak, typical of the lower-class poor.... more>>

In the Interstellar Academy, students like Ji Fu were countless. The highest point they could reach was probably being picked by noble families to be cultivated as their appendages.

This was already the pinnacle that F-grade talent could reach.
F stood for the bottom, the bottom stream, and also represented the most barren resources and future, only able to survive by attaching to the nobility.
When the top nobles scrutinized Ji Fu with their critical eyes, they didn't know.

She came from the highest interstellar prison.
Once, with her own strength, she destroyed thirty-three planets and topped the interstellar rankings.
She was the highest-ranked inmate in the prison, with a danger level of 3S, the top criminal.

Because she was judged to be a low-level species without talent, Ji Fu had struggled to survive in a brutal and chaotic environment since she was young, from being trampled on by others to fighting her way to the top of the rankings.

At the age of sixteen, she was told that while she was fighting for survival, someone was sucking her blood to enjoy worldly glory, but still wanted to crush her flesh and blood into mud to nourish their nursery.

So, now — the game has begun. <<less

Childhood, upbringing, family background, social relations, traumatic experiences…... more>>

We keep reviewing and seeking out the motives of criminals, exploring the subtlest emotions driving them. It’s not to put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize, or even forgive them; it’s not to find some reasons to exculpate their crimes; it’s not to kneel down before the so-called “complexity of human nature”; nor to introspect social conflicts, much less to alienate ourselves into monsters.

We just want to have a fair trial – for ourselves and for those who still have hope for the world. <<less

Xie Chi is a patient with multiple personality disorder. On the surface, he is educated and gentle but the secondary personality is cold, ruthless, and powerful, with explosive strength.... more>>

Xie Chi can never fall in love with others because the secondary personality is his boyfriend.

Xie Chi’s only dream is to one day embrace his lover.

In order to realize his dream, Xie Chi willingly bound with the Horror Movie Actor App. The app regularly releases horror movie notices such as Spirit in Red Clothes, Zombie Lovers, 1552 Haunted House, etc…

On the first day of filming, the first male lead with a dirty personality blocked Xie Chi in the corner. “Follow me and I’ll help you be the second male lead.”

Xie Chi smiled softly and shook his head. “That isn’t enough.”

The first male lead was dumbfounded.

Xie Chi smiled slightly. “Brother, help me beat him up.”

The secondary personality gave a cold smile to the first male lead.

End of the shoot, the first male lead: Xie Chi.

Others: Struggling to survive.

Xie Chi: Defy the natural order to change fate.

A combination of absolute wisdom and absolute force.

Sang Luo traveled through time and was faced with a broken thatched hut and two children who were so hungry that they lost their looks.... more>>

Being poor and being a widow was still better than losing your life.

As for the lack of food at home, as long as they had hands, feet, and vast mountains, was there still a fear of starvation? Sang Luo wasn’t afraid; she rolled up her sleeves and got to work!

Shen Lie was pushed by his third uncle to serve in the military. After more than two years, when he returned to the village, the villagers were shocked to see him alive.

Upon inquiry, he found out that not only had he “died,” but he also gained an unseen wife. Moreover, his wife and two younger siblings were all divided up and sent away by his third uncle and aunt. They lived in the area where the Shen family was exiled, in the makeshift thatched cottage in the mountains.

A shabby thatched cottage which could kill people in windy and snowy days?

He didn’t bother to go home and question his uncle; he suppressed his anger and hurried to the mountains. When he arrived in front of the thatched cottage in the wind and snow, he could hardly recognise it as the place where he had lived.

This is a little different from what he thought…

The house has obviously been repaired and is no longer as dilapidated as before. A high courtyard wall has been built with yellow mud outside the house, and an extra stove has been built in the courtyard. It was dinner time when a young woman came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of hot food, followed by two children carrying rice, bowls, and chopsticks. As soon as they saw each other, the two children’s eyes widened, then they yelled “big brother” and rushed out.

What if a husband falls from the sky? Waiting online it’s quite urgent. <<less

300 years after becoming a Demon King, the war angel Ansel faced a serious problem during a certain expedition.... more>>

——His halo grew out once again.

Ansel picked an auspicious place that was definitely and absolutely unmanned, and while cursing, he simply and skillfully broke off the newly emerged angelic aperture.

This thing was growing out faster and faster!

When will his undercover mission end already?!

The demon realm was divided and ruled by three kings. Demon King Saros was forced to go on an expedition with his sworn enemy, Ansel.

One day, he noticed Ansel sneaking away from everyone.

Saros decisively followed him, and was shocked to find that his sworn enemy, another demon king of the demon realm, took off a horn headband and fake bat wings. As Ansel cursed up and down, Saros watched as he skillfully removed a cute halo from his head.

This irritable, easily angered guy who loves fighting; the type that was cute when he shuts up but could make even demons angered to the point of ascending to heaven the moment he opens his mouth…

As the grandmaster of demonic cultivation, Wei Wuxian roamed the world, hated by millions for committing acts of necromancy. Overthrown by the powerful clans he had attempted to subjugate, Wei Wuxian is supposedly killed by his shidi in order to save the cultivation world. ... more>>

Restored to life in the body of Mo Xuanyu, the local cut-sleeve lunatic, in order to exact revenge on his abusive relatives, Wei Wuxian quickly finds himself spiralling back into his old life when he’s taken away by the cold-hearted, stern, and ultimately quite boring Lan Wangji – who might be harbouring warmer feelings than contempt. Perhaps of the…romantic kind?

But despite his new beginning, Wei Wuxian begins to unravel a decade and a half long mystery that is set to undo the very fabric of the cultivation world as they know it.

A trainee priestess under the protection of the princess.
An orphan abandoned in a mysterious forest. ... more>>

And...

Frea, who sees other people's emotions in colors.

Positive emotions appear as golden hues, while negative emotions manifest as black.

Her mysterious ability remained a secret known only to her.

During her pilgrimage to become a priestess, Frea woke up in a strange man's bed.

"Who... are you?"

The man, Aran, glared at her with glowing red eyes, his tone threatening.

Aran looked exactly like the hero in the mural she had seen and admired since she was a child, even sharing the same name.
However, she couldn't see the colors of his emotions.

At first, she thought it was just a dream, that she had been having strange dreams repeatedly.

But now… it doesn't feel like a dream anymore.

Who is this man?

And why does she keep going to him in her dreams?
Why does it seem to be about "her"? <<less

Born with the fate of a slaughterer, but all he wanted to do was help.

Guan Ling was now 30 years old.... more>>

Six years after his debut, he won an award for his performance and made a lot of money. He was also married to someone for these past seven years. According to reason, he should be the object of envy for everyone.

It was a pity…...

The award-winning work was a horror movie and the male lead character he played was a bloodstained one-eyed zombie. Therefore, even if he swaggered around the streets, there was still no one who would recognize him.

Since he had been introduced to the entertainment industry by a famous director, his salary was fairly high. If the money he had earned in those six years were to accumulate, it would make a total of eight-figures. Unfortunately, there was no opportunity for the money to accumulate. It would disappear into thin air almost as soon as it entered his bank account. It was all given away to his lover as funds to pour into that bottomless hole-like company.

As for the lover to whom he had been married for seven years…… Guan Ling glanced up and expressionlessly read the small line of words on the computer screen——

“The difference between the passionate love period and the indifferent period is that when you touched his hair, his XX would stand up but now you touch his XX, and his hair stands up.”

Oh, man! Guan Ling pressed the power button right away and the text in front of him disappeared instantly. He sighed in relief and silently threw himself onto the empty bed. <<less
