This was the dark days of the imperial court, where one needed to walk on a tightrope as one’s life was as powerless as an ant.

A beautiful but sad story about a woman divorcing her husband.

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”?

“Benevolent God of Light, may I ask when I will complete my training that has taken more than ten years?” <<less

“You were my enemy who always defeated me, but you were also a pretty good companion.”... more>>

“Shut up! What do you think will possibly change if you say that now after all this time?”

He, who was more like her than any other. That was why they were so fixated on only each other, why they were so madly obsessed about only each other.

The only difference between them was that one wholeheartedly wanted to have the other, while the other wholeheartedly wanted to defeat him.

This was the very reason why this catastrophe had happened despite that they were the other’s sole companion.

“This life is over. But in the next, I won’t be your enemy, but your knight.”

If there is a next life, I will offer up my sword to you.

A brightly burning flame was pathetically extinguished.

And so, Ianna Roberstein, a duchess of the Kingdom of Roanne and the strongest swordswoman on the continent, died at the hands of the Conqueror Arhad Roygen, the emperor of the Bahamut Empire.

‘But why am I alive?’ <<less

An age where science was at the height of its rapid development.
The smooth lines of railroad tracks had divided Ingram’s large landmass cardinally by the time people had really noticed,
And large airships were being developed in their factories by the day in hopes for future commercial use.
The fruits of science were being shared amongst everyone.... more>>

Yet, there still existed almighty beings who could create fire in their bare hands or summon the rain on demand.
It was a supreme talent that no enlightened reasoning could explain and not even the most developed sciences could dare encroach upon.
People had revered them and regarded them with fear and awe since long ago.

They, who were sometimes called gods and sometimes called demons —the witches.

Diana was an unfortunate witch who was born the daughter of a great witch but had inherited none of her mother’s talent.
“You must be the most worthless witch in existence."
Diana had been taken in by her teacher at the tender age of seven, and the only thing she had wished for ever since
Was only to gain her independence as quickly as possible and to live together happily with Hester, her beloved older sister.

But dark clouds hang over even the path she took to finally meet her sister after having gained her independence…….

“Your trip might be a little long.”

The stars had set down an ominous prophecy —what kind of future did they point to? <<less

To save Gao Zhun from the shackles of his invisible illness, Fang Chi overcomes obstacle after obstacle, inching closer and closer to his heart. But…... more>>

Everything you have done so far amounts to nothing more than a technique? What about…

Your feelings?

—–

Can the course of human feelings ever be truly understood?

In an attempt to diversify his career, Zhang Zhun agrees to co-star with award-winning actor, Chen Hsin.

Their first task, by the director’s orders:
15 days of cohabitation in a couple’s room.15 days of watching raunchy movies in the same bed, in preparation for the filming of their first scene together.

Yet, things begin to go wrong as they get into bed for the camera.
No one on the set is safe from the passion of their performance.
No one is exempt from the heat of their desire.

Even the director cannot help but fume: Have I ever asked them to take things this far?

But… isn’t it our job to go deeper into the act?

—–

You are my secret sunshine.

Chen Hsin risks everything in his possession as Zhang Zhun walks down the path of no return.

How should they define the bond between them?

Perhaps it should not be known as love, for love is too heavy and terrifying a word for them.

And yet…

There will never be another film like this! Your performance and the feelings you conveyed will never be surpassed! This is a masterpiece that belongs only to the two of you!

When their eyes meet – before the camera, according to the script – Zhang Zhun feels the tips of his fingers go numb.

Who is he?
Has he become Gao Zhun? Or is he still Zhang Zhun?

Who is this before him?
Is it Fang Chi? Or is it Chen Hsin?

—–

When the filming comes to an end, the characters will recover, the actors’ passion will fade, and they will forget each other eventually as they return to their individual paths.

In the end, how should they make sense of it all?

Have they truly been hopelessly and deliriously in love?
Or have they simply lost themselves too deeply in the act? <<less

Richt kept craving for my attention and affection like a puppy.

No, you can just guarantee my comfortable retirement, right?

At every little moment he is constantly wanting to take advantage of her, always trying to touch her soft slender hands. It’s hopeless, who told this lady to just be so interesting, causing his heart to helplessly be moved by her—-

The Lin family has a daughter, Wu Niao, who time traveled into the internal strife to become the champion of chefs just as she was cooking some noodles, and she then cooked instant noodles together with the brilliant prince and imperial chef.

Lin Wu Niao was blind in the kitchen and had no ambition. Despite being born in a noble family of chefs, neither her legs nor her arms were diligent. Rather, she was too lazy to practice cooking, and she was only skilled in cooking cup noodles.

By chance, because she was cooking instant noodles, the pressure cooker exploded and she was blasted into a country that did not exist in history - the Jin Dynasty. There, Lin Wu Niao transformed with a single shake, becoming the recommended chef of the imperial kitchen's first chief manager, the imperial Lin kitchen.

Without even the slightest bit of culinary talent, Lin Wu Niao had no choice but to toughen up and participate in the selection for the imperial kitchen. Relying on five packs of instant noodles and a stick of Maybelline lipstick, she was easily chosen.

After entering the emperor's palace, handsome men and beautiful cuisine became the modern-day Lin Wu Niao's romantic undertaking, a double harvest. Not only did she harvest the love of the mensao kitchen chief, she also obtained the title of first of the palace hall's imperial chefs.

Yet, because of the ambiguity of the chief manager of the imperial kitchen, Miao Man Xi, she was drawn into an inner court rebellion. On one side, a beautiful man. On the other, a beautiful career. At the end of the day, which one should she seize?

Hilarious to the point of making one's hair stand up, the crazy lady chef decisively battles the imperial palace with the powerful beauty of the kitchen-blind. She challenges the imperial kitchen with pots, bowls, ladles, basins, battling to the summit. <<less
