“Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” -Matthew 7:14... more>>

Guomen, 過門/过门, meaning marriage in Chinese. If explained literally, it means going past the gates/door-a reference to the Bible(see above).

“Through the Strait Gates”: to me, it’s the best way to explain it.

The gate’s narrow, the road small for them.

Their past and future interwoven into a tangled, messed up web.

Thirteen years of sour and bittersweet memories. And seven years in between that washed out everything they had like water, leaving only stark, plain, throbbing dullness. <<less

The protagonist shou, Xie Sui, was a proud son of heaven. He had an illustrious family background, was cold and removed from desire, and attracted many (psychopathic) admirers. From the gentle senior to the paranoid president, to the haughty and proud arch-enemy, these big guys were all top leaders of their respective fields, yet they were all crazy about him.... more>>

After pushing him down a series of mentally and physically abusive paths, the three of them decided to join hands to destroy the Xie Family, imprison Xie Sui, crush his pride, and turn him into a pet that could only rely on them.

While the crowd of readers howled “Wuwuwu the feels~”.

Song Yu was already so angry he was going crazy. Not wanting to read any more of this eye-searingly bad novel, he cursed, “Idiots.” and hurried offline.

As a result, when he woke up, he’d transmigrated.

He’d transmigrated to become the Third Young Master of the Song Family in the novel, who had only been briefly mentioned in passing, would die of a terminal illness, and was Xie Sui’s childhood friend.

Song Yu was terribly upset. At the same time, he’d already come to a decision in his heart––those three idiots, had better not think about wanting to get close to his little childhood friend!

Xie Sui was born cold-hearted. In two lifetimes, he’d never tasted the sweetness of love, nor had he ever experienced the feeling of being protected.

After destroying three big families and personally killing his enemies, he was reborn back to when he was 15 years old. He had to hide the violence and coldness in his heart and pretend to be the youth with a gentle and clean appearance that he’d been in the past.

Everything was the same as before, except that the little childhood friend who was nothing but a vague memory in his previous life was exceptionally different this time.

Like the spring breeze that thawed the frozen soil, someone reached into the abyss and grabbed his blood-stained hand.

Song Yu tore apart a love confession letter like he was venting and fumed, “Don’t pay attention to those people, don’t believe in their sweet words. They’re all scum, and their love is worthless. Don’t like them, okay?”

Xie Sui gazed at him for a long time, then laughed, “Alright, I don’t like them.”

I only like you. <<less

Three days ago, Gin and the Red Team entered the final round of their showdown. Gín held three pairs of kings and a bomb, while the Red Team made an amazing comeback with flying dragons and attacking the opponent’s face.... more>>

A certain driver surnamed Fu was in handcuffs, and said seriously to the person who arrested him: “The boss was a decent person in his lifetime, let me send him a bouquet of flowers before I go.”

For water plants, the world filled with spies, traitors, and lackeys is not as beautiful as it seems. They tried to blend in, but chose the wrong direction and ran all the way to the enemy’s road, ultimately leading to their collective madness and self-destruction. They thought this was the final outcome until Gín was dragged back from the brink of death and bound to a dimensional travel system.

System: Galaxy Technology, a miracle of the universe! Welcome to use…zzz…No. 25…zzz…f**k! This damn pager! What kind of crappy network is this?

Gin: ????

In the first world, he arrived at the Chaos Amus**ent Park.

System: The people here are super friendly and nice to speak to, you’ll love it here!

He rode on the Single Horse of the Rotating Hell, the Fate of the Skyscraper Booze Ghost, the Mahjong Three Missing One Haunted House, and the Hi-DJ Bumper Cars.

System: Watch me give you a good time!

Gu Wei, the popular yet controversial lead dancer of boy band T.ATW.... more>>

Jiang Xun, a god-tier professional esports player.

One day, after a certain variety show aired, these complete strangers became a trending topic together.

Gu Wei's Anti-Fans: Do these two have anything to do with each other? Gu Wei is absolutely shameless. He'll try to leech fame off anything that moves, even esports legends. Ignore him, ignore him!

Fans of Jiang Xun's Technique: If our God Xun wanted to, he could buy this whole country. If he's playing around with some nameless celeb, he'll just play until he gets bored and moves on.

But before long, an unexpectedly heated controversy sparked around the two:

Jiang Xun slacks off during a livestream to promote a celebrity!

Jiang Xun's little brother Jiang Ying says he's being forced to defend his nemesis Gu Wei against anti-fans!

Gu Wei, Jiang Xun… a shocking affair?!

Netizens: ???

The two do have talks of an engagement brewing between them, but it wasn't Jiang Xun who Gu Wei fell for first… it was Jiang Xun's reaction memes.

When Jiang Xun first met Gu Wei, he came away with the impression that Gu Wei was his diehard fan. He never would have imagined Gu Wei was only a fan of his memes.

Gu Wei: Ge… I think your reaction memes are better looking than you.

Jiang Xun: Little Gu, you're a little rebel, aren't you?

Then, affection gradually began to grow between the two. Gu Wei finally mustered up the courage to confess his feelings to Jiang Xun.

Gu Wei: Jiang Xun, I think I've started to ship us.

Jiang Xun, fiercely: You're late. I've already become your stan. <<less

The traitorous general Gu Mang was returning to his homeland. Everyone wanted to see him dead, and it was said that the one who hated him most was his former best friend—the cold and ascetic Young Master Mo. ... more>>

The rumours said: Young Master Mo prepared three hundred and sixty-five methods of torture to interrogate him with, just waiting to try them out on Gu Mang. They were so varied it was more than enough to toy with him for a year without repetition.

Except these rumours were very quickly forbidden by Young Master Mo. The reason given was that they described him as a lunatic, and were severely inconsistent with reality.

So what was the truth?

The truth was even more unspeakable—

Mo Xi’s identity: the most abstinent commander of the empire.

His relationship with the traitor Gu Mang: they’d slept together before. <<less

I am a holy knight. To be precise, I am the Church of the God of Light’s Sun Knight…in training.... more>>

The Church of the God of Light worships and serves the God of Light, and theirs is one of the three largest religions on this continent.

As the whole continent knows, the Church of the God of Light has the Twelve Holy Knights, and each one has his own unique personality and features.

To be the Sun Knight is to have shining golden hair, sky blue eyes, a compassionate nature, and a brilliant smile.

…even the Sun Knight-in-training is no exception.

The 38th generation of the Twelve Holy Knights have completed their term of office, yet the time for the 39th generation to take over is still far in the indefinite future.

The Judgment Knight is brash and easily angered; the Storm Knight and the Leaf Knight are always fighting nonstop, day and night.

Since childhood, the Sun Knight-in-training has watched the others grow from kids into adolescents.

What must he do in order to become comrades, who will fight through thick and thin for each other, with this group of “younger brothers”?

Demon King: Ant, if you don't retrieve the remnants of this king's scattered souls from different worlds, this king will kill you! Make your soul scatter!

In short, the demon king can kill him just by blowing his breath.

So Han Zhiyuan was forced to embark on a journey to awaken the remnant souls of the demon king. But how to awaken the remnant souls of the demon king?

The demon king is cruel and ruthless by nature. The only way to awaken the soul is by making them feel true emotion.

So the only way is, "Let the remnant souls fall in love with me"?

Han Zhiyuan: Can this get anymore bloody?

The demon king raised his eyebrows: Huh?

Of the ancient gods, only one remained in the world. This god lived alone for thousands of years and no longer had any desires. Legend has it that—during the great war between the worlds—he used his powers to turn the tide, managing to seal the cataclysmic rift and bring order back into the three realms. Time flew by and hundreds of years passed in the blink of an eye. ... more>>

In this time, Shen Li was born into the demon world. Known as the Azure Sky King, she was used to living a bright and dazzling life full of successes. Little did she know that her 1000th birthday would bring misfortune to her doorstep—a politically arranged marriage with her name on it. The Azure Sky King would henceforth marry the thirty-third grandson of the Heavenly Emperor, Fu Rongjun. This arranged marriage was meant to unite the Heavenly realm with the Demonic Realm, bringing the two together. Most would consider it good fortune to be related to the Emperor.

Unfortunately, Fu Rongjun was infamous throughout the two realms for his Casanova personality. As the King who called the shots in the Demonic Realm, she had the ability to quell uprisings and end wars with a swing of her silver spear—there was absolutely no way she would marry such a flirtatious idiot. She had to escape from this marriage somehow even if it meant death!

In her escape, Shen Li never expected to meet a man that didn’t belong to any of the three realms. This oddball was truly strange! <<less

“Yes yes yes, you are the prince. May Your Highness have good health. So…Your Highness, could you take this medicine first?”

He learned that his father was known as a talented and courteous scholar Alpha.

Rumor has it that when they were in high school, they fell in love at first sight, became a harmonious couple and never had a single quarrel.

Once he transmigrated, he went sixteen years back to the time when his parents were still in high school and became a little fool who was bullied by everyone.

Who will tell him——

This person who grabbed him by the neck and shoved him to the ground! The super as*hole school bully who can’t get 100 points in all nine subjects is his father?!

Coincidentally, Lin Sifei transmigrated to become the cat of a villainess from a novel that she read.... more>>

Oh, but the villainess was quite tragic. Her parents had both died when she was young, and she suffered quite a bit of humiliation. Even though she was quite lonely, her cat also ignored her. And because she was the villainess and thus offended the novel’s original heroine, she was bankrupted by one of the many boyfriends of the aforementioned heroine.

Ah, she was very pitiful! Lin Sifei, after wiping away her tears of pity for the villainess, decided to give her comfort and warmth, and vowed to get rid of that white lotus green tea heroine for her.

When the heroine worked in the company, Lin Sifei immediately used her ultimate cat spying powers to find her issues and got her fired.

When the heroine became a model, Lin Sifei immediately acted cute and used her power as a cute cat to get onto magazine covers instead of her.

And when the heroine attempted to start a career in the showbiz, Lin Sifei went “pow”, turned back into a human, and immediately showed everyone the charms of a true movie queen.

Qin Yan was already a demonic cultivator when Fu Changling met him for the first time.... more>>

He had killed Fu Changling’s entire family before he placed an old jade in his palm.

He had said: Fu Changling, people are like jade. Only after they had weathered through the hundred sorrows of life and death, could they acknowledge their truest strength.

With this, their swords clashed as they spent half their lives trying to kill each other.

He had delivered Qin Yan to his trial on the Judiciary Platform to be hacked to death and watched as he cut out his love root.

Fu Changling died and was reborn into the year when he was seventeen.

This time, he met Qin Yan much earlier and was also informed of the truth that he hadn’t known in his past life.

And so, with his body drenched in blood, he climbed his way before Qin Yan and told him in a hoarse voice:
“Once, you’ve gone into the Golden Light Temple and suffered long nails driven through your bones; you fought ten thousand ghouls in the Ten Thousand Bone Cliffs; you waited for an entire night in a stormy rain at the Bridge of Reincarnation; you have lit the zen lanterns for ten years in the Unsullied Palace—all for my sake. Qin Yan, it was you who fell in love with me first.”

“But I’ve forgotten.”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, because I do.”

Shivering, Fu Changling took out the very same jade Qin Yan gave him back then. Stained with blood, he lifted his gaze at Qin Yan, and said word-by-word repeatedly—

‘People are like jade; that needs to be carved to become a fine specimen. Only when they are chiselled and carved by knives and axes, weathered through the hundred pains of life and death, could they acknowledge their truest strength.’

“Presently, Changling has truly turned into a carven jade,” Fu Changling swallowed as he spoke, “Would Shixiong be willing to start over?”

This is a path of redemption. Even if he has to walk through a field of thorns, he would give anything for that chance.
