In his previous life, when Ye Chaoran was 16 years old, he was suddenly visited by a rich man who told him he was the young master of the Fang family who lived in a different city.... more>>

Little did he know that the purpose of his biological parents was just to find a heart for his brother who had a heart disease.

The parents who he tried to please: “When the operation is successful, we’ll directly announce that he suddenly died.”

The older brother he wanted to be close to: “Don’t appear in front of me. Disgusting.”

Even the man Ye Chaoran cared about most only regarded him as a substitute.

As for his beloved younger brother Fang Yan, Ye Chaoran thought he was the only one who was good to him. Until the last moment, when he showed his true face.

It turns out that all along, he’s only been ridiculed, rejected, and hated.

Then he was reborn.

Now, Ye Chaoran just wants to repay his adoptive parents, get revenge while he’s at it, and live his life well.

–

Ye Chaoran, who’d just been found, refused to leave with his biological parents. The Fang family tried everything, giving him houses and cars, then persuading, then coercing. Finally, they prepared to kidnap him by force.

But bodyguards in black descended from the sky and threw the garbage aside.

An old man showed up, looking calm and proud: “Who dares to touch anyone from my Ye family?”

Ye Chaoran was confused: “Who is this?”

The adoptive father looked sad: “My father.”

Only then did Ye Chaoran realize that his adoptive father turned out to be the richest man’s runaway son!

His family is countless times richer than the Fang family! <<less

“Ding Dong! Arrived at White Garden station.”

The world suddenly became quiet-

“Does the Zhongdu metro have a stop called White Garden station?”

In the year 1245 of the Star Calendar, the S-level mecha athlete [sink] shone brightly, setting numerous records. Despite his immense glory, he announced his retirement after achieving the grand slam, leaving countless fans feeling regretful and saddened.... more>>

During the same year, the KID base’s mecha mechanic had his team doctor qualification revoked for violating league rules. The base’s owner had no choice but to release a recruitment announcement, which instantly sparked a heated debate within the league.

“What? Hiring? How much is the salary?”

“As we all know, KID is very poor. Don’t bother applying.”

“There are so few mechanics, yet you offer this salary. Are you taking us as fools?”

Before long, the KID base actually recruited a mechanic. The mechanic wore a hat that obscured his face and loose long sleeves, revealing faint glimmers of cold light from intricate mechanical hand within his sleeve. He appeared frail and delicate, more like a vase than a mecha mechanic.

“Is his right hand a prosthetic? Mechanical hand? Are you kidding me? Can it be accurate?”

“I doubt he can even lift an outer armor plate.”

Two years later, the Mecha Alliance underwent restructuring, requiring the team doctors of the alliance’s base teams to participate in battles. The KID club submitted its roster, and there was a new ID on the list—[sink].

The people in the league then realized that KID not only recruited a mechanic but also one with explosive combat power.

Ying Chenlin was reborn and returned to his genetically mutated 18-year-old self.

During that year, he had just won the first grand slam of the Mecha Alliance, following his heart and pursuing his dreams relentlessly. However, two years later, he suffered from genetic backlash, leaving him disabled in half of his body, leading a life confined to a wheelchair.

In his most difficult years, it was KID’s boss who took him in, giving him a chance, teaching him a new profession, and pulling him out of the abyss. Starting anew, he turned down offers from various bases, resolutely retired before his body deteriorated further, and applied to become a mecha mechanic at the KID base.

Repaying the debt, recovering his health, starting over again—he had experienced the pinnacle, and even if he was full of scars, he was determined to reach the summit once more.

Apart from being less lucky, better-looking and being able to escape with body intact, there was nothing special about him.

But the people around him didn’t seem to think so.

Reunited after breaking up, a sweet and satisfying 1v1 ... more>>

In public, he acted like a wolf-like dog, but behind closed doors, he was clingy and like a sweet bean. A wealthy dog top, tough-mouthed but soft-hearted; a poor beauty who was a dog training master, and a bottom.

Ruan Song, a down-and-out screenwriter, had a five-year love marathon with the popular movie star Ren Qinming. When they were together, Ren Qinming was unknown, but when he became famous, they suddenly ended their relationship with a bang.

When Ren Qinming couldn’t find a way to reconcile, he felt melancholy all day long. His aloof persona became even more unstable. After a night of drinking, he finally gave in and went to Ruan Song’s house, where he was discovered by the paparazzi. And then, “boom,” their relationship was made public.

The entertainment industry was shaken, and fans went crazy, refusing to believe it. “Our cold-faced King of Hell, who never paid attention to beautiful women, how could he be in a relationship?! How could anyone in this world be worthy of our brother?!”

In order to prove that Ren Qinming was single, his fans shared his schedule. Out of 365 days in a year, he would spend 330 days on set. How could someone handle having a boyfriend like that?

Ruan Song found it amusing, and yes, he couldn’t handle it either, so they broke up.

Just as Ruan Song was about to clarify things passionately on Weibo, he received an invitation to a top-tier celebrity dating show, inviting him and Ren Qinming to appear and show their love.

Ruan Song scoffed, saying, “Only a crazy person would go after breaking up.”

But in the next second, when he saw the remuneration offered by the variety show, being penniless and unemployed, he said, “I must be crazy to decline, count me in.”

On the variety show, Ruan Song made an appearance.

Fans instantly changed their minds when they saw him. “Wow! He’s beautiful!”

And the cold-faced King of Hell, who claimed to never pay attention to “beauties” was—

Ren Qinming, “Wife, come closer to me, everyone is watching.”

Ren Qinming, “Wife, give me a smile. There’s a camera in this corner too.”

Ren QingMing, “Wife, it seems like I need a kiss.”

Ruan Song, “…”

Then, Ren Qinming added, “Wife… your ears are turning red.”

Ruan Song gritted his teeth and covered his mouth, saying, “I’m… hot!”

Fans wildly waved their flags. “Not hot! Stick! We want beauties to be sticky!”

Ruan Song was completely speechless. “Weren’t you all saying no one was worthy of him before?”

Fans with yellow faces: Teacher Ruan, you’re being too harsh. What does Ren Qinming’s fans’ words have to do with us, the shippers of the double burden CP powder?

Ruan Song: …

Damn it, who could have imagined that going on a celebrity dating show for money, and faking the relationship, would make someone famous! <<less

Recently, Ming Ci discovered a mole growing on his collarbone.... more>>

Crimson, round, like a drop of blood splattered on the snow-white skin.

At first, he didn't pay much attention, just couldn't help but take an extra glance when looking in the mirror. But after a while, that red mole started to grow, like a puddle of blood flowing downward, spreading... almost occupying the entire chest.

Ming Ci felt he should get it checked out. On the night before going to the hospital, as he passed the mirror on his way, he subconsciously took a look.

—The crimson mark had disappeared.

Ming Ci walked up to the mirror, carefully observing his collarbone and chest, the skin was snow-white and clean. He breathed a sigh of relief, about to turn off the light, but caught sight of a blurry figure behind him.

It drew nearer slowly, its soft limbs elongating, like intertwining red ropes enclosing Ming Ci's body.

One Day, Sea King Chi Huo capsized.

The men who had been sailed by him rallied to kill him, crushing him to ashes, marking the fall of the Sea King.

After his death, Chi Huo’s consciousness awakened and realized that he was the Sea King villain in a danmei novel. The romance he thought before was just the fate of being forced to follow the plot.

The so-called Sea King was just a fish in the eyes of Heaven, and will eventually be wiped out.

Later, he was reborn as a young swordsman a hundred years ago, where he met himself who was about to capture his first fish.

Big Chi Huo: Let go of this fish.

Small Chi Huo: I can let him go, but you must stay.

Big Chi Huo: Little brat, these tricks of yours to tease men are all leftovers from me.

The most important duty of a Taoist priest is getting rid of monsters, exorcising ghosts, and raising his temple’s reputation! Xie Lingya, though, is not a Taoist priest. He just has the Immortal Roots…... more>>

Some people can learn in a day what takes others ten years of hard work. Xie Lingya is like this–other people have to cleanse themselves and meditate to draw talismans, but he can do it as easy as drinking a glass of water. Unfortunately, in this era, graduating from a renowned university is much more valuable than the talent for cultivation. He who has the Immortal Roots finally chose to study finance.

However, the world is unpredictable. His uncle, a Taoist priest, died unexpectedly, leaving his temple to Xie Lingya. His last wish was for his nephew to find the right person to inherit his sect’s teachings.

So Xie Lingya, who had no intentions to become a Taoist, ended up as… the owner of a Taoist temple. He began to earnestly manage the deserted little place, striving to gain believers. He also struggled to recruit priests, in hope of finding a suitable successor for his uncle. After a chance encounter, his target became Shi Changxuan, who came from an influential Taoist family and had outstanding skills. Not scared off by the man’s aloof personality, he struck up a conversation and tried to get his phone number. He didn’t realize this move could be easily misunderstood… <<less

Ruan Qing, a surgeon who died suddenly from working overtime, transmigrated through time and became a useless doctor in the Dayan Dynasty.... more>>

Not only was the original owner of the body a quack doctor, but he was also terrible with his education and turned the Second Imperial Prince into a cripple. As a result, he was sent to prison, interrogated fiercely, and almost died tragically.

Ruan Qing: "……What kind of damned opening is this?"

At this time, the system suddenly appeared: "Dear, the surgical system is now bound to you. It not only provides MRI, vaccine development, medical cosmetology, and other modern medical technologies, but it also drops various medical equipment and medicines from time to time!"

So Ruan Qing returned to his old profession and started practicing medicine in the Dayan Dynasty.

The first trial—testing the water: Huizhou was hit by a pandemic and a vaccine was developed to save thousands of victims.

Gradually moving on to his next case: For the deformed child in Liuhe Village, genetic diagnosis technology was used to avert his tragedy.

Now the confident third case: the Empress was strangely disfigured and the medical cosmetic treatment helped restore her youthful appearance.

After the nth case, Ruan Qing became completely famous in the capital and became the Imperial Physician of the Dayan Dynasty. The Emperor rewarded thousands of taels of gold and countless manors, but he declined them one by one. Every day, he would go back home to farm the fields and ate three meals a day cooked by a certain jealous man.

The key point was that not only did this jealous man have great stamina and often attacked, but he also always liked to cling to him desperately, calling him "wifey" in an aggrieved manner if he got scolded even just a little.

In this way, the little doctor was tricked into having one baby after another. Looking at the babies crawling all over the floor and their silly and cheerful father, Ruan Qing (shrugged) said: "I can’t help it, my husband is too clingy."

Xiao Ziheng was the Second Imperial Prince of the Dayan Dynasty, but he was crippled by a doctor of unknown origin. In extreme anger, he sent the man into prison. But who would've thought the little doctor would change his ways? Not only did he solve a pile of medical problems for Dayan and helped the people, he was also able to help him surpass the First Imperial Prince, which was a big deal.

Xiao Ziheng: "……I think I'm falling in love, what to do?"

However, the little doctor was terribly afraid him. He would pitifully try and please him all day long, but the little doctor never came any closer and so Xiao Ziheng couldn't help but reflect: "Are you telling me that not liking to smile is illegal?"

Later, when the little doctor encountered trouble, he finally bared his canine teeth to protect him. Looking at the surprised look on his face, he laughed: "Be good, are you still afraid of me?"

The little doctor blushed in embarrassment and was carried back to his home by Xiao Ziheng to get married. He was so favored that if he wanted the stars or the moon, the Prince was willing to pluck them down the sky for him.

Xiao Ziheng (with an evil smile): "Can't be helped, my wifey is too cute." <<less

In the era of popular esports, a globally popular game called "Destiny" was born.... more>>

This is a close-quarters holographic reality game with a focus on cold weapons such as swords, spears, guns, bows, and other melee weapons.

The charm of close combat, the interplay of flashing blades and shadows, the brutal battle where only one survives out of a hundred, captivate players and make the major world esports tournaments thrive.

Chen Xingran, a weapon master from an ancient martial arts family, wakes up from slumber and finds himself in a strange world, becoming an ordinary student at the Capital Esports Academy, endlessly worrying about how to reach Silver rank.

As he looks at the familiar Tang Sword, broadsword, silver spear, dagger, long whip, and more in the game... Chen Xingran falls into contemplation.

"I'm familiar with this."

Thus, in "Destiny," a formidable specialist in weapons emerges.

His swordsmanship is sharp and elusive, his heavy sword has no edge, his gun moves like a dragon, and his dagger is as agile as a serpent... No matter how challenging the weapon is, it becomes a magnificent and dangerous performance in his hands.

"A Tang Sword is not used like this."

"Protecting teammates? Not necessary."

"Isn't it enough to eliminate all the enemies?"

...

In the world of "Destiny," a legend begins to spread about a fearsome demon king.

It is said that every professional player who faces him in combat meets a tragic end...

However, the good news is that this demon king seems incapable of using ranged weapons?

His archery skills are astonishing. Even with a rapid-firing crossbow, he can't hit a single shot, earning him the title of the "Master of Human Outline Drawing."

Yang Yunchen, the former champion of the FPS World Championship and hailed as the number one marksman, says this while watching the young man who effortlessly takes on three opponents with a Tang Sword.

"Why need ranged weapons when I'm here?"

The blushing young man, finished with the fight and sharpening his sword, chases after him and slashes three blocks.

PS:

1. This is a fictional holographic close-quarters battle royale game with many imaginative elements. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy the story.

2. Game skills and settings are inspired by games like "Eternal Punishment," "Apex Legends," "Overwatch," and others.

3. The weapon master is invincible in close combat but terrible at using guns, while the archer never misses a shot. They pretend to be weak and rely on their spouse, the cunning world champion, to save them.

4. This story doesn't follow the typical trope of the protagonist being overwhelmingly strong. There may be initial setbacks, but later on, the characters reach their full potential and dominate the game, creating various highlights. Please avoid making assumptions about the author and enjoy the story and comments harmoniously. Thank you.

One-sentence summary: A close-quarters weapon-based martial arts battle royale game.

Concept: Promoting traditional culture, showcasing the charm of blades and shadows in the martial arts world.

Highly recommended work: Chen Xingran, a weapon master from an ancient martial arts family, encounters a car accident and wakes up in a new world where the esports industry is highly developed. He becomes a freshman at an esports academy. In this world, a holographic battle royale game called "Destiny" featuring cold weapons has taken the world by storm. As he looks at the familiar Tang Sword, dagger, longsword, broadsword, and more in the game, Chen Xingran falls into contemplation. Thus, in "Destiny," a formidable melee demon king who is proficient in all weapons quietly emerges and becomes a terrifying presence in the professional gaming scene.

This story flows smoothly and naturally, with vivid and distinct character portrayals. The depiction of battle scenes is delicate and visually engaging, weaving together flashes of blades and shadows, tactical confrontations full of deceit, and the dangerous yet magnificent world of close-quarters weapon combat. With vivid storytelling, it paints a blazing legend in the realm of eSports.

TN:

Title: The phrase "磨刀不误砍菜弓[电竞]" in Chinese is an idiomatic expression commonly used in the context of eSports. It translates to "Sharpening the knife doesn't delay the cutting of vegetables with the bow [eSports]."

This phrase is often used to emphasize the importance of preparation and practice in esports. It means that even though it is essential to hone your skills and improve your strategies, it should not hinder you from taking immediate action and engaging in competitive gaming. Just like sharpening a knife is necessary for efficient cutting, training and preparation are crucial in esports, but they should not become an excuse for procrastination or hesitation. It highlights the balance between preparation and execution in the world of competitive gaming. <<less

Chu Yan never thought that he would transmigrate into a cultivation novel and enter a life-and-death contract with Xie Yunming, the main villain.... more>>

It would have been fine if he was just an unimportant side character, but according to the plot of the original book, Xie Yunming would only focus on breaking the life-and-death contract and send him off to the west.

In order to avoid this death flag, Chu Yan decided to work hard to restore his negative favorability points with Xie Yunming to ±0.

For example, he would take the initiative to find the ancient scroll that allowed them to undo the life-and-death contract so that they could peacefully split—

Shit!?

Chu Yan watched helplessly as Xie Yunming burned up the ancient scroll with spiritual flames until there wasn’t even ashes left.

In the dim light, the man’s face was full of smiles and his words were gentle, “What are you thinking, shidi? If I die, you shall be buried with me.”

Chu Yan: ???

Is something wrong with you?!

—

Rumor has it that after Xie Yunming, the head disciple of the Sword Sect, returned from his travels, he brought with him a shidi with extremely poor talent and a weak and sickly body.

This shidi had a peerless appearance as well as a gentle and kind temper. If it weren’t for his body that almost guaranteed he would die young, the number of people that would come to propose marriage would have probably smashed the Mountain Gate of the Sword Sect to the ground.

Everyone guessed that he wouldn’t live longer than a few years, and they lamented that such a proud son of Heaven like Xie Yunming had become cultivation partners with this shidi. Maybe he was looking forward to becoming a widower.

Unexpectedly, after hundreds of years, there were actually two sword cultivators from the Sword Sect who passed their tribulations and ascended at the same time. One was Xie Yunming, the proud son of Heaven, and the other was Chu Yan, his shidi who died young.

Chu Yan: Thank you for bringing me. We have now ascended and share the same life as Heaven and Earth.

Xie Yunming: Share the same life as Heaven and Earth?

Chu Yan: No, no, share it with you. <<less

[Welcome to Lucid Dream City, please wait as we retrieve your memory…]
Recently widowed Chu Feng was getting ready to upload his boyfriend, Xie Shiyu, into the game. ... more>>

They had grown up together and gotten married, but Xie Shiyu had unfortunately passed away in a plane crash. Chu Feng couldn’t accept this fate and thus chose to find solace like this.

The system extracted countless versions of Xie Shiyu from his memory and created Chu Feng’s Dream City from it.

“Chu Feng gege, I want a hug!” A 5-year-old Shiyu ran into his embrace.

“Where’s my good morning kiss today, Professor Chu?” An 18-year-old school tyrant wrapped his arm around Chu Feng’s shoulder.

“Let’s do it in my office later,” A 25-year-old President Xie wrapped his arm around his waist.

Chu Feng was very happy playing with the entire city of Xie Shiyus and thus lived happily ever after.

—That is, if you ignore the pain in his waist every night.

However, there was a curse in this happy Dream City.

The Xie Shiyus in his Dream City would also experience a terrible fate of death, whether it was the bus exploding, the playground catching fire, or the bridge cracking in half…

What was supposed to be a sweet couple game instantly turned into a survival game.

Chu Feng could only request the game to assign him a guardian for protection after that.

As a result, the system gave him the highest-ranked S guardian, X, to protect him.

It sounded very reassuring indeed.

But not long after, Chu Feng found that the S-ranked Guardian was a little over the top. He would hold his hand while disarming the bomb, grab his waist when jumping into the ocean, and princess carry him when walking out of a fire. There was even an instance where he brought Chu Feng to the 108th floor of the hotel to stargaze.

Chu Feng: I’m sorry but I’m taken. I have a boyfriend.
Guardian X: That’s not what the files in the system said.
Chu Feng: What does it say?

With a "sizzle," after a few seconds, the black ball disappeared.

Sure enough, it was just a hallucination, and he went back to sleep satisfied.

Once, while out, Xu Mu encountered an injured rabbit on the road.

He intended to bandage the rabbit's wound, but the rabbit kept struggling, refusing to cooperate.

"Be good, I'll take you back to bandage your wound."

The rabbit stopped struggling.

Xu Mu: How fierce, but quite spiritual.

After bandaging the rabbit's wound, it ran off without looking back.

Xu Mu felt regretful, his wish of raising a rabbit shattered.

His life as a shut-in continued, until one day, the doorbell rang.

A fair and gentle man stood at the door, offering cookies and speaking softly, "Hello, I'm your new neighbor who recently moved in..."

Xu Mu didn't catch the rest of the words, his attention entirely on the box of cookies.

So hungry.

The man smiled gently, "Go ahead, eat."

Xu Mu wolfed down the cookies, only realizing he behaved inappropriately afterward. He looked at his neighbor sheepishly.

The man didn't say anything, his gaze still soft and accepting.

Later, Xu Mu discovered that his neighbor, who frequently visited, was an excellent cook. He often received delicious food, juices, and occasionally, dinner invitations.

From initially feeling anxious and guilty, Xu Mu gradually felt at ease, all within a few short months.

Xu Mu pondered that it wasn't right to keep eating without giving back, so he handed his bank card to his neighbor.

The man slowly widened his eyes, "What... do you mean?" His face started to flush slightly, a hint of crimson on his skin.

Xu Mu focused on his game, hastily handing over the card, "Take it."

—My food expenses are all covered in there, thank you for your hard work.

Recently, the man's frequency of sending delicious food had increased, and he even accompanied Xu Mu to play games every day, sometimes even helping him tidy up the house.

Xu Mu felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
