Lu Xingzhi: "Old man, don't be so shameless."

Huo Jinchen: "This old man loves you dearly. Good girl, let your husband love you dearly."

In the eyes of Lu Xingzhi: A black bellied old man.

"What are you doing with your clothes off?"

"Seduce you."

Love her and love her deeply. It's an essential homework for Huo Jinchen with Lu Xingzhi. <<less

Unexpectedly reborn, she once again returned to the starting point and obtained a unique inheritance.

Si Huang touched her chin and thought: It is indeed fabulous to be reborn. She can settle all the old debts and take revenge on old enemies.

Back on the throne of the entertainment circle, she is now the first male god in the eyes of all women.

En… what’s more, she is the apple of someone’s eyes.

However, one day, when everyone comes to know that this person is a woman, the entire country boils!

Facing a group who are rushing forth like wild bees unrestrainedly, a certain man sneers: the wife that this old man has been protecting for so long, who dares to snatch from him?

“Reporting to the boss, Li family’s young master asked Young Master Si out for a meal.”

“Shut down his family’s hotel.”

“Reporting to the boss, Young Master Si and Wang family’s little crown prince have fought.”

“Tell the military doctor to take ‘special care’ of the patient”

“Ah? But Young Master Si is alright!”

“The ‘special care’ is for that one of Wang family.”

“…”

Many years later, the little bun pointed to the list of ‘Most Desired Men and Women’ chosen by the citizens. He looked at the man next to him with a tangled expression.

A certain male put on a gentle fatherly face, “Little Treasure, what’s wrong?”

Little bun twiddled his fingers for half a day and asked, “In the end, are you my father or my mother?”

A certain male’s face instantly darkened. “Of course I’m your father!”

Little bun earnestly said, “But they all say that dad is the male god and the male god is married to you!”

Forty years ago, the shark demon had returned for revenge, the relics of the goddess were left in the secret land, the withering snake shaman had reappeared in the world, and the legendary evil sword had resurfaced…

Could the Heavenly Lord afford to lose??

As Zanxing faced the escalating difficulties of the plot, she only had one purpose—to get to the ending.

——Destiny is something that happens no matter what you do. Regardless of how you struggle, the end will not change.

——I must change it.

My name is Yin Xiaomei and they all say that I am a bad woman. But I don’t think so.... more>>

What? You want me to start from my childhood? Okay!

I don’t think its such a bad idea to shoot a nude photo of my brother, right? After all, I’m helping my female compatriots. You don’t know how much a single photo can sell… If you’re going to ask for the amount… it's a secret!

What? You said that my mother and father divorced? Please, it’s my handsome old man who’s been going outside. You can see how much father and son are alike! Although my parents rarely come home, but when they do, they are more active in bed than anyone else! Mom is young and beautiful, and the money she has is infinite! Tsk tsk.. let me wipe my saliva and continue.

Not only had he not taken responsibility for her, he had also dissolved his betrothal to her, causing her to be a laughingstock.

Three years later, she did her best to stay as far away from him as possible. But how…?

She’d met him by chance at a banquet. She’d met him by chance at dinner. She’d even met him by chance while on the way to the washroom! This had to be a curse!

Finally, the heartless Gu Yu coldly warned, “If you appear before me again, I won’t let you off!”

“Shengsheng, Shengsheng…”... more>>

He always addressed her so gently and lovingly.

People described him as a bright and graceful young man who was as noble as a piece of jade, heh, but they had never seen how he looked cutting open corpses with a scalpel. Oh, how his eyes glowed red.

He had a name that sounded gentle: Shi Jin.

Jiang Jiusheng first saw Shi Jin in the elevator of her apartment.

“Your hands are really pretty,” she exclaimed in genuine admiration and was unable to shift her gaze away. “Can I… touch them?”

He was surprised.

She explained, “I’m sorry, I have a slight hand fetish.”

He hesitated for a rather long time. “I’m sorry, I’m a bit of a clean freak.”

After a pause, she asked in a serious tone, “Is it okay for me to just touch them briefly?”

The rock star, Jiang Jiusheng, had a hand fetish. Her new neighbor was a doctor and coincidentally had a pair of hands that she wished she could keep for herself.

Some time in the future, he stood in the bathroom of their new apartment, holding a scalpel with his bloody hands. His back was to her. There was blood all over the floor, and a broken limb. From the pile of bloody bones, she could tell that they belonged to the stray human she had brought home.

She asked, “What are you doing?”

He answered, “Dissecting a corpse.”

She took a step back, but he pressed her down to the cold floor of the bathroom and ripped off her clothes. The blood on the floor stained her snow-white skin.

He said, “Shengsheng, if I can choose how I die, I hope I die on top of you.”

He said, “Shengsheng, I’m a doctor who can’t cure himself. I’m sick, blood makes me excited and compels me to slaughter, and you make me feel thirsty for blood. You’re the reason why I’m driven to mu*der.”

He said, “Shengsheng, save me. If you don’t hold my hand, I’ll kill myself after I kill everybody who tries to take you away from me.”

She took his hand, and said, “Shi Jin, the blood on the floor will dirty my shoes. I want you to carry me out of here.”

She had never loved someone so much that she was willing to descend into hell with him.

He had never loved someone so much that he was willing to set aside his butcher knife for her. <<less

Her mother: "What happened to you and Han Shen? Weren’t you impatient to marry him before?"

Her father: "The venue and wedding invitations are all ready. Now you’re talking like this? How to solve this problem? Where is the face of your parents?"

...

Before she was reborn, Xu Yizhang got married as soon as she graduated. After marriage, Han Shen was so busy that she raised their children alone.

The group of friends laugh at her and mock her: "Han Shen doesn't like her at all. She always nags him. As a result, she was given the cold shoulder after marriage and left alone everywhere..."

After breaking off the marriage, everyone was stunned. "Xu Yizhang broke off an engagement? Why? Does she think the most talented person on campus is not enough for her?"

"Are you crazy? Don't want such a good man."

"She probably thinks she is a fairy and wants a match with the Jade Emperor..."

…

Later.

Han Shen said: "Xu Yizhang, let's get married."

Xu Yizhang smiled coldly: "Sorry, I don’t want a married life."

Han Shen: "How can you love someone and not think of marriage?"

Xu Yizhang: "Get lost."

Han Shen: "What about our previous vows?"

Xu Yizhang: "Count them as idioms." <<less

Hua Manman never thought that she would transmigrate into a popular novel about harem fighting, and even become a female cannon fodder character in this novel.... more>>

She tried to make her counterattack, but found that so long as she went against the flow of the novel, her heart would hurt like it was being stabbed by knives.

In that case, she might as well just lie on the ground like a salted fish!

But what she finds incomprehensible is the question,

Why does His Highness Prince Zhao, who is known for being vicious and treacherous, like to always stare at her?

……

This Prince Zhao one day found that something seemed to be wrong with his ears.

So long as he stares at a person, he will be able to hear their innermost thoughts.

For instance, right now.

Youngest Young Master Mu: Bumpkin, it is embarrassing to say that you are my sister.

All the newspapers and magazines are mocking her. All the children of the Mu family are excellent, but the newly found daughter is really hard to describe.

Two months after Wenli packed her bags and moved out of the Mu family, the World Technology Competition was held in Ningzhou City and the street where she lived are filled with luxury cars.

People who once satirized her were in an uproar. Who said that this girl is raised in a poor backwater village? Which poor village can provide such a buddha?

During the two months, news broke out and a picture of the Nan family’s adopted son and the Mu family’s newly found daughter are cuddling together and is very intimate with each other.

Everyone mocked her saying that she wanted to fly up the branch and become a Phoenix, but she hooked up with the wrong person.

Who does not know that the adopted son of the Nan family is a dragged oil bottle that is good for nothing?

At the Nan family’s banquet, the head of the Nan family personally opened a car door and the person who got off the car had a delicate face and billowing lips, fascinating all women.

He was born in the top chain of power, yet he grew up inside the darkness, enduring among conspiracies. Maturing from a weak youngster to a war-god.

For the woman he has once loved, he met her on the battlefield [1]. Every move fierce. He helplessly watched her ripping apart her sleeve, falling into bottomless cliff with a smile….he was hurt to the core. After this imperial ancestral temple and jiang hu, sky and sea, are we never to meet?

Coming out of prince’s manor, visiting vast sea, walking on the grassland and dealing with maritime power struggle.

The world is in chaos, love came in troubled times. Palace. Jiang Hu. Power. Mutiny. Naval battle. Four years of silent endurance. She, commanding thousands of pirates, returned, swirling the imperial court and jiang hu.

Only, you have once said you have been waiting for a person — a person who you admire, who you adore, a woman who could stand side by side with you.

Now, have you regretted?
