"I'm... going to break you."... more>>

His low voice grew raspy towards the end. His hand on my hip tensed and began to tremble. His deep gray eyes were overflowing with masculine arousal. Lee Kyuwol's eyes were telling me. The gentle kiss we had just shared a moment ago was merely the beginning of his consolation.

The violent desire that had been hidden underneath his indifferent, gray eyes intensified the moment I gave him my consent, and he warned me that he would break my world. Within the murky fog of dread, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief.

"...I'd prefer that."

When he heard my whispered reply, Lee Kyuwol raised both of his hands and ripped open my black mourning dress. <<less

One day, his roommates were discussing what type of girls were the cutest.... more>>

Su Lin didn’t speak a word from beginning to end. He waited for them to finish then snickered disdainfully, “By your standards, slightly pretty and dumb little dwarves are considered cute.”

—

Later, he went to the French department for an elective class and got poked in the back.

Turning around, he saw a little girl.

Big eyes, white skin, pretty and tiny. She looked…. s*upidly cute.

Lu Yuanyuan looked at the guy’s handsome face and carefully asked, “Classmate, excuse me, can you let me through?”

The voice was very small, the tone matching the person, soft and sticky.

….. So f*cking cute.

Su Lin’s heart was about to jump out of his chest.

He suppressed his emotions and said: “Okay, tell me your name first.” <<less

Ji Zhen Tang first saw Zhong Yu Bai at her boyfriend's birthday banquet.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, the man sat calmly in the midst of swirling smoke, unruffled, quietly listening to the conversations around the table.
Her boyfriend leaned in to whisper to her, giving her a heads-up: "That's my third uncle, don't provoke him, I can't handle it."
On the same day of the birthday banquet, her boyfriend got drunk and embarrassed her in front of everyone.
Leaving the Zhong family mansion, she walked in the rain. Before long, an umbrella was held over her head, and Ji Zhen Tang looked back.
The person following her turned out to be the same uncle... more>> from earlier. The man smiled gently, with a comforting tone, "Let me walk you a bit."
-
Meeting her ex-boyfriend again at a friend's gathering, they were now former lovers.
Ji Zhen Tang overheard her ex-boyfriend's tone full of envy as he talked about his uncle, mentioning how Zhong Yu Bai bought a tea plantation in the prime land of the mountains and rivers for his little girlfriend.
People started gossiping, "Which woman is so lucky?"
Before anyone could finish their words, someone stepped in from outside. The man exuded an imposing aura, silencing the whole room.
Without paying attention to anyone else, Zhong Yu Bai walked straight to Ji Zhen Tang and gently embraced her.
"The feng shui of the mountains and rivers is suitable for begonias. Since she likes it, everything is negotiable."
-
Ji Zhen Tang had heard about Zhong Yu Bai from others, portraying him as a high-status, gentle and wealthy man. Mr. Zhong was perfect in every aspect, except for being too ruthless and not understanding the meaning of compassion.
But she had clearly seen it. When she was sick, he patiently brewed medicine for her by the stove, gently massaging her numb and painful hand until late into the night.
He spoke words of comfort in the softest and gentlest manner, afraid of troubling her.
"Does it still hurt?"

Zhong Yu Bai listened with a smile, his eyes full of affection as he gazed at his sparrow—

"She is a bird, and I am not her cage."

"I am her sanctuary." <<less

“He didn’t know that love is a meticulously planned encounter. On the first day of his transfer back to his hometown, Lu Ye was misled by a mistaken prostitution case, accidentally arresting his niece’s art teacher. From then on, he stepped into the vortex of fate and embarked on a doomed relationship.... more>>

The art teacher was gentle and serene, understanding and empathetic, but unfortunately, always caught up in trivial troubles. Due to their initial acquaintance, Lu Ye had taken care of him, but in the process of caring, he unknowingly fell into the trap carefully set by him.

Until one day, he suddenly realized the changes around him and discovered that Qi Yanbai was not the innocent and harmless little lamb he seemed to be, but a wolf cub that could bite.

From the first moment he saw Lu Ye, Qi Yanbai knew that this person was a gift from heaven.

Initially, he only wanted to possess him, but later, his greed grew, and he hoped that Lu Ye would love him.

“Forget everything you’ve been tamed with. From now on, I will teach you.”

A righteous and loyal police officer as the dominant partner, and an art teacher with hidden sides as the submissive partner. Lu Ye X Qi Yanbai

Notes:

The sweetness and angst are balanced, with the submissive partner’s transformation in two stages during the story.

Mutual pampering, but the art teacher Qi might display mild symptoms of lawlessness.

However, no need to worry, the situation is under the control of Officer Lu. <<less

If “family” is the best gift that the Heavens can bestow, then why do the Heavens take back her present? She has no kin, no family, and no one to back her in case she foil up at work.... more>>

Because she is alone, she pours all her energy into work.

Because she is lonely, her boss becomes her emotional pillar.

She thought she has reached a state where she is numb …. until the day she meets him.

He is a good looking but bad-tempered ice skating athlete. He has the meanest mouth, but when she is in trouble, he is the one who dashes to her aid without reservations. And when she is at her lowest moment, he offers his home for her to stay without asking any questions. His caring and gentleness moved her, but despite everything, she cannot help but feel a deep-rooted unease. After all, how much love do they really share? Is it enough to last a lifetime? <<less

Lin Yuxing is mistaken for the love interest of Gu Zhongyi, a popular heartthrob. Gu Zhongyi then hires Lin Yuxing as his shield and treats him specially. Lin Yuxing develops feelings for Gu Zhongyi but believes it is one-sided. However, Gu Zhongyi has loved him for many years. Gu Zhongyi reveals he is from the future and both he and Lin Yuxing have been reborn.... more>>

... Due to a series of misunderstandings, Lin Yuxing, a poor student, is mistakenly identified as the love interest of the aloof campus heartthrob, Gu Zhongyi.

Lin Yuxing: Please stop spreading rumors and don't interfere with my part-time job.

Gu Zhongyi: I have too many pursuers, and I happen to need a shield. The monthly salary can be negotiated.

Lin Yuxing: Hello, Senior Gu, I am the best shield you can have!

In front of the seemingly unapproachable Gu Zhongyi, Lin Yuxing receives special treatment.

Unfortunately, the mutually beneficial arrangement doesn't last long as Lin Yuxing unluckily realizes that he seems to have developed feelings for Gu Zhongyi. Thinking that it's only one-sided, Lin Yuxing, who considers himself imperfect, hesitates to express his feelings. Little does he know that Gu Zhongyi has loved him for many years, and everything was planned in advance. <<less

In the spring of 1945, Shen Ruozhen, a patriotic banker, secretly sent out the last batch of anti-coins and closed Fuhua Bank. ... more>>

However, during the safe transfer, his ship was shipwrecked.

As he lost consciousness, he thought he was going to die.

Later, he heard someone talking beside him, reciting a pair of elegiac couplets.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in a 21st century advanced ward.

There was a handsome but indifferent stranger sitting by his bedside.

“Who are you?” Shen Ruozhen asked.

“Don’t you remember me?” the stranger replied.

“I don’t know you,” Shen Ruozhen said.

“Chu Zhichen, it’s no use pretending to have amnesia after such a big accident,” the stranger said.

Shen Ruozhen was confused.

He had never heard of Chu Zhichen before.

But as he looked at the stranger’s face, he felt a sense of familiarity.

The phrase “偷风不偷月” is a Chinese idiom, and its literal translation to English is “Stealing the wind, but not the moon.” This idiom is often used to describe someone who is content with small gains and is not greedy. It implies that a person is satisfied with obtaining just a small advantage or benefit, rather than trying to achieve something much greater.

The phrase also has a more negative connotation. It can be used to describe someone who is deceitful or manipulative.

Ten years ago, Yu Zhi Le was an older sister that was eight years older than Yu Zi Huan.... more>>

There were a few big bosses with different identities, all playing the same child raising apocalyptic game and raising the same daughter.... more>>

———they didn’t know about each others’ existence

The bosses would try all sorts of way to splurge on her every day, their only wish for their daughter to have the highest quality life possible during the apocalypse.

•

Bian Bian was given birth during the apocalypse and adopted by an elderly man. When she was five years old, grandpa got infected by the virus and turned into a zombie. And so, she became an orphan, living miserably every day.

One day, an ability user found that on a rooftop balcony was a little girl dressed in a beautiful princess dress, happily eating hot pot!

While behind her stood two zombies, each holding a bowl of ice to help her keep cool.

Ability user: “……?”

Later on, Bian Bian’s birth parents came to find her.

Splurging daddies: “???”

Want to snatch my darling daughter away? No way!

Not long after, the sky changed. Dark clouds covered the world and true dragons swam in the skies.

The survivors were all trembling, only Bian Bian said happily, “My fathers are here to fetch me~”

Everybody: “???”

Why is father plural!? <<less

I forcibly occupied everything belonging to Ji Chenfeng, his status, family origins, and relatives…… Despite being completely aware that I am just a counterfeit, I nevertheless seized the magpie’s nest as a turtledove myself without any remorse. ... more>>

I was born with selfish genes flowing through my bones: greedy and shameless to the extreme; desiring to obtain everything for myself. Furthermore……I don’t intend to change.

A notion of goodwill is accompanied by ulterior motives; a notion of greed is accompanied by repentance.

When a scumbag is capable of loving someone, it’s perhaps the greatest retribution that god has bestowed upon them. <<less

Her entire existence revolved around him. She even killed for him.

Yet, her father was an empire traitor, and the person I killed was my own cousin. Ayla Weishafen, deceived and driven to kill her father by a dagger, died by its poison.

Shi Yunnan was sent out of the country by his parents since he was young, and lived like an unloved child, but he still played around wantonly and relied on his appearance to make trouble~... more>>

As a result, he was deceived by his elders into returning home and was informed that he was about to marry the young master of the Luo family.

“What kind of feudalistic ideology is this? It’s outrageous!”

Shi Yunnan packed his luggage that night, planning to escape the next day, but when he fell asleep, he dreamed of a terrible scenario——

He dreamed that his life was just a supporting character in a book. Because he didn’t get along with the protagonist who transmigrated into the book, he eventually ended up in a situation of being forsaken by everyone.

All tragedies began with this willful escape from marriage.

After waking up, Shi Yunnan hadn’t had the time to let everything sink in when he was blocked at the door of his own house——

“Second young master Shi thinks that our Luo family is not worthy of you?”

The man in front of him had a heavenly face, his temperament was abstinent and outstanding. His whole body was wrapped in luxurious outfits. Even those long legs, which relied on wheelchairs, wildly shook second young master Shi’s aesthetic point.

Sigh, I’m a good boy who listens to his parents and matchmakers!

Shi Yunnan pretended to be reserved for three seconds, then nodded like a chicken pecking on rice, “Worthy, of course, you’re worthy! Is the wedding banquet ready? Husband~”

The man stared at his smiling face and answered subtly, “Let’s do it this evening.” <<less

When he awoke, Pei Yi had transmigrated into the wealthy young master of the same name in a book.... more>>

The original owner was ten years old when he fell into the pool and nearly drowned. When he woke up again, he was a mentally impaired child and became the laughingstock of the entire Imperial Capital circle.

The profit-oriented elders regarded him as a bargaining chip for business transactions, and followed the instigation and arrangements of the Bo family to make him marry the Second Young Master Bo, who was blinded in a car accident.

A fool and a blind man, this was obviously a humiliation.

It was a pity that others didn’t know that Second Young Master Bo was the most important villain in the book.

Not only would his eye disease be cured, but he would become the only person with authority in the Bo family.

As for the foolish original owner, after being kicked out of the Bo residence by the protagonist of the original book, he still couldn’t escape the fate of falling into the river and dying tragically.

. . .

Knowing the plot of the book he transmigrated into, Pei Yi met “his” nominal marriage partner, Bo Yueming, not long after—

Gu Yanting dreamed that Tang Yi came to him with a knife and said to him, “Yanting, either cut Lin Rui out of your heart, or cut yourself out of mine. Either one, you decide.”... more>>

It was empty.

The battle for the scholarship was like wildfire. In the entrance of the school director’s office, Lin Yujing and Shen Juan came face to face.... more>>

Lin Yujing wore a pitiful look, tears threatening to fall. “Classmate Shen, to tell you the truth, I came from the countryside. My family’s poor and I was originally called Lin Cuihua. I was the only one in our Lotus Flower Village to have been able to make it to university. If I don’t get the scholarship this time, I won’t be able to pay off the school fees. If I can’t pay off the school fees, I can only go back to my village and feed the pigs….”

Shen Juan wore a look of indifference and responded, “What a coincidence. I come from the neighboring Lotus Leaf Village. My original name’s Shen Tiezhu. I don’t only have to feed the pigs; I even have to farm.”

Lin Yujing: “…..”

The two people stared at each other for three seconds before turning around in unison and leaving.

Shen Juan got onto his private helicopter while Lin Yujing climbed into her Rolls-Royce.

–This is a story of two rich people trying their best to look poor in front of the other. <<less

The Tang family had two daughters.... more>>

Outsiders have only heard that the eldest daughter, Tang Luoqian, was beautiful and would be engaged to Luo Zhan, the young master of the Luo family, in the future and everyone envied her.

Few people knew that the Tang family has a youngest daughter who was blind, named Tang Ran.

Tang Ran’s sixteenth birthday present was a robot.

On the day the robot arrived, the whole family was in the front hall with her sister Tang Luoqian, preparing to welcome Luo Zhan, who was visiting for the first time. Tang Ran was alone in the side house, fumbling to see her robot.

Standing in the chaotic darkness, Luo Zhan spoke after a long time.

“Good evening, Master.”

With a good family background, a calamity-bringing face, and a top mind, Luo Zhan was the dream lover of countless girls in the AI field, but no one could stand next to him.

There was only one reason: Luo Zhan liked beautiful eyes.

Later on, Luo Zhan made a bet with his older brother to imitate a robot for the little blind girl from the Tang family.

—He never thought that he would fall for the little blind girl.

And then it spread that Luo Zhan had been beaten with the family rod by the old man of the Luo family in order to reject his engagement to Tang Luoqian, without uttering a single word.

Everyone was guessing who it was for.

A week later, for the first time, the Tang family threw a birthday banquet for Tang Ran, whose eyes had recovered. After the banquet, the little girl drank too much and hugged the stone pillar in the banquet hall, whispering that she wanted to see Luo Zhan.

The bystanders mocked when they heard, “The young master of the Luo family doesn’t even consider Tang Luoqian. She’s just a half-blind girl who thinks she can see him just because she wants to?”

Before finishing his sentence, Luo Zhan ran in from outside in a wretched state.

The young master of the Luo family, who was usually in high spirits, panicked and fell to his knees, at a loss to kiss the girl’s trembling eyes…

“Don’t cry.”

“Will you marry me, Ranran?” <<less

The first day Song Yan transferred to his new school, he met his new roommate being blocked by gangsters in an alley asking to pay up a debt.... more>>

The stick in the new roommate’s hands fell, and the little gangster fled in defeat, but didn’t forget to yell in anger while running:

“Look at your little white face, if you find a wealthy woman and get rich, how can you still be afraid to pay up!”

The new roommate looked on in approval, and seemed to have realized the light: “Makes sense.”

Song Yan: “......” What kind of nonsense.

So to block his new roommate from going astray, Song Yan began the road to ruin of targeted poverty alleviation for pure and beautiful male high school students.

No money to buy dinner, so he treated him. No money for book expenses, so he sponsored it. No money for a scarf, so he took advantage of the buy one get one promotion from the store in front of the school to send him a scarf.

The eldest young master Song who already had his expenses cut off by his family had no choice but to learn to be thrifty and hardworking.

Later, his dad brought him to attend a dinner banquet: “Come, Xiao Yan, let me introduce you to grandpa Xia’s grandson, Xia Zhiye.”

Song Yan looked at the boy in front of him wearing a custom-made suit, with the worn out scarf that he dredged out from the buy one get one promotion in front of the school wrapped around his neck, and expressionlessly raised up a knife.

That night, in some male high school’s dorm room came the yell of domestic violence: “f*ck off, don’t pretend to be poor with me!”

However the target of the domestic violence patiently coaxed him: “I didn’t pretend to be poor, I’m really poor. But later on I’ll be very rich, and I’ll even give it to my boyfriend to manage, so how about you consider it again?” <<less
