How fake could a fake couple be?... more>>

Bai Zhou: Thanks for the invitation. My secret marriage partner went abroad for two years. On the night of his return, I mistook my husband for a thief who broke into a house.

*

Bai Zhou, a minor celebrity in the entertainment industry.

His secret marriage partner was Sheng Siyu, the vice president of Shengshi Group.

As soon as they received the marriage certificate, Sheng Siyu left the country.

This made Bai Zhou very happy.

Having a husband who was willing to spend money on him and still gave him freedom was simply too blissful!

With the money Sheng Siyu gave him, he bought various luxury goods and visited various high-end clubs.

One day, Bai Zhou took his friends home drunk.

Seeing a strange man sitting on the sofa, Bai Zhou asked, "Who is he?"

The friend answered, "He seems to be your husband..."

*

After unexpectedly becoming popular, Bai Zhou attended an event where some reporters noticed he was wearing a diamond ring on his ring finger.

Bai Zhoudid not respond in front of the media due to the hidden marriage agreement

#EntertainmentCircle's first unsolved mystery: Who is Bai Zhou's husband?#

This topic occasionally exploded on Weibo.

Fans of Bai Zhou's rivals came out to criticize him.

[Got married and denied it to death? Laughable.]

[Was it possible that the husband was an ugly old man over fifty? So he was ashamed to admit it?]

Sheng Siyu, who took over as president of Shengshi Group, responded below: [?]

The next second, Sheng Siyu’s Weibo account was trending.

In the large picture, two pairs of beautiful hands were intertwined, and on the dominating hand's ring finger, there was a ring identical to Bai Zhou's.

The comment section went crazy.

[Wow! Looking at this picture, I could imagine a fantastic romance novel.]

[Was the background on the sofa? Ah!! Sisters, give me some oxygen!]

[Just based on these two hands, I was willing to relocate the Civil Affairs Bureau!]

Sheng Siyu replied, [No need, we've been married for three years.]

Jiang Juyou, who graduated from a second-tier university, was on the verge of giving up after having a breakdown from her internship. Suddenly she saw a job posting:

"Looking for interns, 9 to 5, weekends off, social insurances and housing fund provided after being converted to formal employee, internship certificate provided, monthly intern salary 8500, food and housing included, formal salary negotiable, requirement: strong stress resistance."

It's a perfect trap for college students.

Worried that it might be a scam but still went anyway. After arriving, she -

"Ding-"

"Welcome to the Entertainment Company Operations Manual!"

Got bound to a system.

"What the hell?"

Bound to the system, Jiang Juyou was forced to become an entertainment company boss, and so she became someone she hated but also wanted to be - the rich.

[I'm crying but I'm pretending I'm not.jpg]

Jiang Juyou's company became a wind vane in the entertainment industry:

She introduced a new talent show format, and those shows followed suit.

She created new conceptual peripherals, and those companies followed suit.

She operated a new model boy group, and those companies also follo...can't copy, because Jiang Juyou spent too much money.

The fan community shook daily, but Jiang Juyou dodged a bullet.

Fans:

"To the company: Made the petty Entertainment die. To Jiang Juyou: [wry smile] I'll let you off this time."

"Lol, Jiang Juyou got lightly let off because she's too pretty!"

"Can scold the company but don't scold Jiang Juyou!"

"Every time I see Jiang Juyou training trainees, I think why isn't she training me (sorry)"

After Random Entertainment became the hottest company in the industry, Jiang Juyou was isolated by capital.

Capital didn't play with her, so she became capital herself, becoming the main seat at the table, becoming the one everyone had to suck up to -

Lin Jing, after reading hundreds of pure love novels, went crazy criticizing under the serialization of "Baitangwogua":... more>>

"[The routine always involves the attacker making progress with the recipient; Author, are you an AI writing this?]"

"[The attacker's description is always 'knife-like features,' 'broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs,' 'deep eyes'; while the times are changing, the author's aesthetics seem to be stuck in the distant Jurassic era!]"

"[And still bomb-grade perfect looks? Am I going insane? Can a man's beauty really prevent a world war?]"

He even posted several long critiques spanning thousands of words, almost blowing up his phone.

And then... he transmigrated, becoming the protagonist in the unfinished ABO novel of "Baitangwogua," and was even equipped with a useless system that ranked first in nonsense.

But in the world after transmigration, there appeared to be a difference between buyer's and seller's shows. Ah, it was simply literary transmigration fraud.

Lin Jing: "[Where are the awesome alphas? Marshals? Academic tyrants? Emperors? And the invincible top attacker Gu Morong?]"

Useless System: "[They are all waiting for your... favor in the capital star.]"

Lin JIng: "[Where are those alphas striding with their two-meter-long legs, lined up like F4 in front of me?]"

Useless System: "[Maybe the author deleted that part after your criticism?]"Lin Jing: "[...Then where are the omegas who are a combination of beauty, dominance, and combat prowess, except for being subdued by top alphas?]"

Useless System: "[It's you, it's you, it's all you...]"Lin Jing: "[Open your titanium alloy dog eyes wide and take a look, do I look like one?]"

—He transmigrated to a desolate star inhabited only by insect-like creatures.

But he gladly accepted this post-apocalyptic star where there was no 996 work schedule, no brainwashing sessions during breaks, and no alphas to date him.

Who knew, with a thunderous roar from the sky, came an alpha... no, it was a romantic rival.

Since they were all omegas, why compete against each other? Let's join hands and be good brothers. In the future, brother, as the model strong omega, dominating the world while I'll be your solid support. I'll drink yogurt and eat ice cream while watching you overthrow those alphas who look down on others!

Mu Bai was a mischievous bed-pressing ghost. The kind that fed himself by pressing down on people. Recently, he was assigned to haunt a newly graduated manga artist. However, for three months, Mu Bai hadn't managed to get a single meal. He couldn't understand how someone could sleep less than a ghost. ... more>>

So, Mu Bai had to switch targets. He chose the artist's young uncle, who was a CEO of a big company, known for his stable and calm demeanor, extreme self-discipline, and a habit of going to bed early and rising early.

Mu Bai was delighted, secretly visiting the CEO every night to press down on him. Worried that the CEO might change his early-to-bed, early-to-rise habit if pressed too often, Mu Bai considerately chose to only haunt him for half the night. After a while, having had his fill of meals, Mu Bai began to slack off. But the CEO began to sleep earlier and earlier, and for longer periods. Eventually, he was sleeping all day, and soon, he even started to reverse his day and night routines. Mu Bai found this very strange.

CEO Yan would see a little ghost pressing down on him every night. The ghost was small, murmuring "I'll just press down a bit, I'll just press down a bit" as he lay on him. Once, the CEO turned over, causing the little ghost on top of him to roll off in a confused tumble.

CEO Yan: "..."

He thought to himself that this little ghost didn't seem very powerful. So, he switched to a larger bed. But then, the ghost's visits became less frequent, and eventually, he stopped coming altogether. No matter how early the CEO went to bed, whether he slept all day or reversed his sleep cycle, even if he showered with incense-scented body wash, the bed-pressing ghost never returned.

Ultimately, CEO Yan spent a lot of money to hire a Taoist priest. After catching the ghost, the CEO's first question to Mu Bai was, "Who are you pressing down on now?" His second question was, "Is the grass always greener on the other side?"

Mu Bai, being held by the neck: "?????" <<less

The business bigshot who covered the sky with one hand, Zhao Yao, died of an illness. Once he opened his eyes, he returned to the age of 23 when he was discharged from the hospital after a car accident. He was pushed in a wheelchair into a meeting where the family was fighting for power. Facing the Zhao family’s fighting, Zhao Yao moved to a comfortable position and watched the farce. “You are free to do as you please.”... more>>

In his last life, he was so powerful but he died of illness. In this life, he had no intention of entering the Zhao family’s bottomless family business. Facing a new life, Zhao Yao thought of the advice from his psychologist in his previous life. “Mr Zhao, perhaps you need to fall in love?”

Mr Zhao had been single all his life so he placed an order to buy highly rated reference books, including ‘The Guide to Love.’ He went through them one by one with the attitude of reviewing a 10 billion yuan project. “Step one, become a rich man.”

Zhao Yao frowned slightly. “So simple?”

After a while, the stars of a performing arts company shone, the performance of a live streaming company was rising and so on…

Zhao Yao, who was still single, asked his partner in a distressed manner, “Pei Mingzhan, have you ever been in a relationship?”

Pei Mingzhan’s gaze was deep. “It is simple. I’ll teach you.”

Later in the hotel’s business room, Zhao Yao finished reading the yellow book and casually shouted, “Pei Mingzhan, how are you?”

The first time Shi Nian Nian met Jiang Wang was at the entrance of the police station. The young man’s expression was pale without any emotions, and he was morbidly white.... more>>

Later, she learned that Jiang Wang was the son of the school director who broke the news in First Middle School last year. He had a hearing problem, and was imprisoned for half a year.

Shi Nian Nian thought that Jiang Wang was the number one troublemaker she had to stay away from.

Shi Nian Nian thought that she would never see any sort of emotion on Jiang Wang’s face.

Until she saw the enraptured look on Jiang Wang’s face.

The smell of wine on the young man’s body was mixed with the smell of soap on his clothes. It evoked an unusual sense of flirtatiousness in the atmosphere.

His jaw tightened, his eyes lowered, and he whispered in her ear with restraint and forbearance——

“Hey, little stutterer. I’m a little drunk on wine, and now I have this really strong urge to kiss you. Can I?”

**

After they had grown up.

Jiang Wang had become the stern and ruthless businessman with a chokehold over the business world. He was cold-blooded, brutal, and had no interest in women. Everybody knew that provoking Mr. Jiang was the same as seeking death.

That was until the end of the charity dinner that day, as the man was being escorted by the crowd, his gaze suddenly stopped.

His pace quickened, and he made his way through the crowd toward the person by the roadside. He pulled her in by the waist, leaned over, and buried his head in her neck.

Everyone was stunned. They were accustomed to seeing him dominate the business world, but now he held someone tightly in his arms in such an unimaginably subservient manner.

The woman lifted her hand and gently stroked his hair. Softly, she said, “Jiang Wang.”

He cursed in a low voice, unable to contain his choked-up emotions, “Didn’t think you knew to come back.”

The next second, his shoulders began to tremble, as if sobbing.

If there is only one pure and clean soul in this world, regardless of whether she becomes tainted by sin, she would only belong to me.

You are my delusion, my thoughts never forgotten.

The world condemned me to hell.

This story is about a strange woman who is looking for her lover in her past life but she always finds the wrong one.
1v1

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

"I can't move, absolutely can't move!" Li Wei admonished himself inwardly.... more>>

He had finally found this opportunity. If Zhou Yang believed he was in a vegetative state, then this assassination attempt would succeed. But he had underestimated Zhou Yang and misjudged the situation. Now, it wasn't that he couldn't move; it was that he couldn't move freely. He was trapped by his past self, ensnared in a labyrinth of memories.

Were he and Zhou Yang enemies or lovers?

If they were enemies, how could they explain the passionate intimacy in those videos? And if they were truly lovers, why would he give up such a perfect partner, willingly undergo brainwashing surgery to erase all memories of himself and Zhou Yang?

"Why? Why can't we go back to how things were?" Zhou Yang's choked voice echoed in his ears.

But they couldn't go back. They couldn't return to the past where Li Wei was still alive, to the past where they were unaware of their fates, to the past before Zhou Yang destroyed the only happiness he had.

Yes, because he wasn't the Li Wei that Zhou Yang loved. He was just a brainwashed stand-in, mistakenly believing himself to be Li Wei. And in the past, this stand-in hadn't loved Zhou Yang so deeply.

Love always vowed to be steadfast, but what could he offer to exchange for Zhou Yang's happiness, when he was an interloper in their relationship? Even if he gave Zhou Yang everything, even if he loved him with all his heart, inevitably, he would always have to compete with the past Li Wei. Their love would forever be overshadowed by Li Wei's shadow, and he would rather not have such bitter love. <<less

After enduring the hardships and finally becoming a famous actress, Yun Qinghuan unexpectedly opened her eyes to find herself transmigrated into the role of a deceased elder sister-in-law in a period drama.... more>>

In this particular historical drama, Yun Qinghuan's remarriage led to a tragic fate – she died after having a son, leaving the three-year-old as the story's main antagonist. Eventually, the child turned heaven and earth upside down, only to meet his demise in the end.

The audacious mastermind behind this major antagonist was none other than Bai Naihan, the silent and seldom-seen man in Yun Qinghuan's life.

Facing pressure from her family to marry and her mother-in-law's matchmaking attempts, Yun Qinghuan looked at the taciturn man and said, "Why don't we just fake a marriage?"

Tired of everyone scheming about her marriage day by day, she found it annoying!

The man pondered for a moment, then looked at her with deep eyes, saying nothing.

Thinking her absurd suggestion would be rejected, Yun Qinghuan was surprised when the next day, the man took her to register their marriage.

The society said that Granny Liu must have plotted this!

Everyone expected a joke, thinking that the ill-fated Yun Qinghuan would eventually leave the disabled Bai Naihan.

Even Yun Qinghuan herself believed this marriage wouldn't last, planning secretly to escape from this family, away from the main antagonist and the powerful figure behind him, to avoid becoming cannon fodder one day.

But who would have thought that this marriage, dismissed by everyone, would become increasingly stable?

Yun Qinghuan, the supposed jinx, turned into a successful film director!

To change her fate, she decided to proactively return to the countryside and cling to the thighs of her five brothers, who were all destined to be influential figures.

The youngest brother was extraordinarily talented in painting, gaining fame across the land. She couldn't miss the opportunity to rely on such powerful supporters.

However, she couldn't fathom why the influential secondary male character she saved on a whim was acting so strangely.

He constantly tempted her with his beauty, sometimes pretending to be a pitiful, innocent little puppy.

Her brothers unanimously believed he had ulterior motives and was up to no good, but Su Guan, looking at his face, thought that maybe, just maybe, it wasn't entirely a bad thing. <<less
