“Business World” chronicles the Machiavellian rise of the Si family to supremacy in the business realm. Employing intricate schemes, they managed to overshadow their biggest adversary, Lu Huan. Employing a facade of matrimony, the Si family strategically wedded, designating their most compliant ‘black sheep’ as an expendable pawn.... more>>

In a stroke of literary dexterity, the formidable Lu family was irrevocably shattered by the machinations surrounding this ostensibly ‘insignificant’ member.

Lu Huan’s consciousness was abruptly rekindled before his fatal car accident, igniting a surge of pent-up resentment and granting him a second lease on life just before his nuptials.

Confronting the marriage certificate, Lu Huan’s lips curled into a sardonic grin, “Very well.”

———

By a twist of cosmic destiny, Yu Baihan transmigrated into the role of the Si family’s ‘black sheep’. On the auspicious occasion of his wedding night, he found himself face-to-face with his enigmatic titular spouse. Unperturbed by appearances, he ventured boldly into uncharted territories.

Yu Baihan laid there serenely: “I adore you, come indulge me with your affections.”

In the ensuing heartbeat, Lu Huan’s fingers pinched Yu Baihan’s chin, his words weaving a deliberate cadence, “I’m intrigued to fathom the depth of your desires…”

Yu Baihan shifted his stance flirtatiously, “How about a little unexpected surprise?”

Lu Huan’s response hovered in the air: ” …”

Yu Baihan comprehended—Lu Huan had an appetite for this kind of thing.*

———

In a groundbreaking narrative turn, Lu Huan commandeered the plot to exact retribution upon the Si family. Their dynastic structure lay in ruins, internal strife proliferated, and heirs vied for dominance. Unmasking his true persona, Lu Huan orchestrated a schism, irreparably cleaving the two family legacies.

Within the recesses of the Lu family estate, Lu Huan reclined in an armchair, half-shrouded in obscurity. His gaze rested on Yu Baihan, resembling an observer of a theatrical spectacle, “What are your thoughts?”

Yu Baihan playfully applauded like a seal, “Marvelous! When you blossom, butterflies shall flock naturally; If your brilliance shines, the divine orchestrates!”

Lu Huan: “…”

———

In due course, the narrative spun into disarray, akin to a stray hound vanishing without a trace.

Anticipation simmered as the Si family’s ‘prodigal son’ teetered on the brink of expulsion, the burgeoning power of the Lu family poised to expel him. Even the underlings of the Lu family meticulously calculated the hours, preparing for the climactic reckoning of this ‘misfit’.

Yet, surprise and bewilderment swept through the ranks as they beheld Lu Huan marching purposefully into the master bedroom, Yu Baihan enshrouded in blankets. The latter wore a look of eager anticipation: “Show your vigor, Lu Huan! Have you skipped a meal?”

“…”

The bedroom door resounded with a finality that left the underlings flummoxed.

Subordinate: ???

Jian Mingzhou graduated from a prestigious school, had a striking appearance, and was amiable, appearing perfect in the eyes of outsiders. But there was one thing unknown to others: he enjoyed reading boys' love (BL) stories.... more>>

After graduation, Jian Mingzhou lived alone, working as a well-regarded BL manga editor. To the outside world, he was a mature and stable adult, but in reality, his solitary room was filled with BL fanworks.

One day, he received a call from a friend.
"My nephew is in sports training near your place. Is it convenient for him to stay with you for a while?"

Jian Mingzhou: "How old is your nephew?"

"Quite grown up."

He bent down and slowly hid a room full of BL fanzines.

—
The university student who came to stay was named Xie Jing. He was an athlete, tall, handsome, intelligent, and had many friends.

What pleased Jian Mingzhou the most was that Xie Jing showed no curiosity about him.

He then let go of his guard and freely pursued his interests.

—
At a crowded BL fanworks exhibition.
Jian Mingzhou had just left his booth when he ran into Xie Jing, who had been forcibly brought along by a friend.

The BL fanzines in the handbag were still quite eye-catching.

The two remained silent for a few seconds.

Xie Jing: "Uncle."
Jian Mingzhou calmly interrupted: "Do you know what a proxy purchase is?"
Xie Jing: "The autograph is about to fall off the to-sign."

Jian Mingzhou: "..."
Jian Mingzhou: "Oh. Thanks."

=======
Xie Jing, despite his good looks and affluent family background, seemed to get along with everyone but had no interest in anyone.

Until he saw Jian Mingzhou, six or seven years older, blushing but maintaining a calm demeanor.

"Uncle, do you want to read the new BL manga I bought for you?"
Xie Jing embraced him from behind: "Younger partner, cohabitation, you don't like this?"

"I don't like it; leave." <<less

The host: “Please briefly describe your experiences.”

Rong Yuheng: “In the first half of my life, I lived like a joke.”

Audience: “He must have a hidden tragic past!”

In his promotion, Rong Yuheng, with his comedy skills, muddled along and made a name for himself as he debuted as a comedian among a group of idols.

Audience: “……So, it turned out to be a joke like this!”

Meanwhile, Wen Zecheng, a top star in the entertainment industry, made his debut at a young age and won three awards, his road to stardom shining and bright.

It was commonly known in the industry that Wen Zecheng was a serious, rigorous, cold, and restrained man without any hint of scandal.

They danced together for the first time on the audition stage.

Rong Yuheng, with his mouth filled with obscenities, said, “Wen-laoshi, let’s rock! Raise your bu*t higher! You can do it right?”

Wen Zecheng: “……”

On a certain year, underneath dark, windy skies.

Wen Zecheng, “Raise your bu*t higher, you can do it right?”

Rong Yuheng, “……” Huhuhu. <<less

In the fifteenth year of the Chenghua Dynasty, the usurper Ning Chen finally died. The youngest left minister since the founding of the dynasty, his power extended over all the realm, and his methods were as ruthless as his heart. He formed a party around himself in order to extend his private interests, and assassinated loyal ministers who resisted his cause. In the end, a thousand arrows pierced his heart before the royal palace, and he died. ... more>>

At that moment, Emperor Li Wuting was standing before the palace, gazing down at him as if he were nothing more than an ant.

The night after Ning Chen died, Li Wuting reincarnated to the day he took the throne.

In his last life, he put his trust in an obsequious official, causing chaos in his court. This time, he resolved to strangle the problem in the cradle.

***

When Ning Rushen transmigrated from the modern era, it was the first year of the Chenghua Dynasty, and the new emperor was ascending to the throne.

In the solemn court, he saw the emperor who had just taken his place walk down the hall until he came to a stop before him. Killing intent surfaced in the depths of his eyes.

Ning Rushen, who had just transmigrated: …What’s wrong?

Seeing a swift slap about to land on him, Ning Rushen suddenly fell to his feet before the eyes of the court! His face was as pale as snow, and the corners of his eyes were red, like a delicate little white flower swaying before the wind.

The officials cried, “Your Majesty, have mercy!”

The new emperor, Li Wuting, who hadn’t even touched him: ???

Ning Rushen wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes and let out a little sob: This official is so weak.

Li Wuting smiled. What a wonderfully obsequious official :)

***

Afterwards, Li Wuting slowly discovered that this delicate flower was not only fresh, but also rather sweet at its core. <<less

He was adopted as a child into the Su family. He was beautiful but with a scorpion’s heart. He repeatedly persecuted his older brother and tried to take over the family business.

Su Huayi transmigrated at a time when the original owner was up to his usual schemes.

He crawled out from under his elder brother’s bed and looked up to meet the latter face-to-face.

Su Chi’s expression was sullen: "What are you doing here?"

Su Huayi shyly bowed his head: "… I wanted to give you a surprise."

*

As the eldest son of the Su family, Su Chi not only managed the family business but also had to take care of his younger brothers. He was planning to give that malicious adopted brother some trouble, to let him know that the sea of bitterness has no end and that he should turn a new leaf…

Su Huayi: It all depends on the waves.

Su Chi: "…"

To protect himself, Su Huayi acted coquettish to the point of no return, but he did not notice that the look in his elder brother’s eyes had gradually changed. <<less
