Yaya died.... more>>

She committed su*cide.

This person, with whom he had no blood relation – whom he’d called ‘elder sister’ for many years, was all too suddenly gone. She left him not just a considerable sum of inheritance, but also a child.

That year he was only 19 years old, still a child himself, and yet all of a sudden was in charge of the welfare of a 15 year old youth.

This child was not bothersome, he had none of the impatience nor rebelliousness characteristics of a typical adolescent.

He had an extremely high IQ, paired with a stability and maturity far exceeding his physical age.

Be it daily living or academics, he didn’t have to worry at all with the boy. He was able to manage everything on his own.

But the more he got to know the boy, the more he realized how frightening this child’s many intentions were.

He wanted to change his mind, could he just take the money and leave the person behind? <<less

Xu Tangzhou lost his memory. He always dreamed of an unfamiliar Alpha who made his legs go weak, and his dreams caused one to be red in the face.... more>>

One day, he saw the Alpha he dreamed of on TV. Apparently, the other party was a huge celebrity called Ling Che.

Not long after, he debuted and his manager said that he wanted to find someone to guide him.

After meeting Ling Che, Xu Tangzhou’s facial expression was indifferent. “Oh.”

Xu Tangzhou’s inner thoughts: Ahhhhhhhhhh he’s so hot!

Four years ago, Ling Che’s Omega disappeared overnight and thoroughly broke up with him.

Four years later, Ling Che had already become the king of the music industry. He met the partner who was newly assigned to him by his company for a business couple.

That newcomer was called Xu Tangzhou.

The manager smiled obsequiously. “Our Zhou Zhou looks like a cold beauty but beneath the surface, he’s exceptionally pure.”

Ling Che coldly laughed. “You want me to guide him? Maybe in the next life.”

That night, the cold beauty that was exceptionally pure beneath the surface appeared in front of Ling Che’s room door.

He was clean and fresh, and he loosely wore a bathrobe with a wide collar.

The next day, the sweetest CP in the history of the entertainment industry was born. <<less

Jung Jiheon was once a promising swimmer, but retired early due to an injury and is now working diligently at a sports agency. Currently, the greatest interest in the sports market is none other than Kwon Jaekyung, and numerous agencies are fighting fiercely behind the scenes to scout him.... more>>

In the meantime, Jiheon is ordered by his boss to somehow lure Jaekyung into his agency, and he miraculously succeeds thanks to their insignificant and brief relationship of going to the same swimming center 10 years ago.

Jianghu has been peaceful and stable for many years already, yet the Demon Cult suddenly reared its head in the Northeast, at Xue City.... more>>

Outstanding righteous heroes gathered together at the Wulin Conference for a joint discussion of a crusade, to suppress the chaos once and for all.

Wulin Alliance Leader: “Why hasn’t Palace Master Li of Wanren Palace come yet — which of you will go pass him a word?”

All Sects have exceptional tacit understanding; all as one retreated three steps.

After a moment, there only remained one figure at the front of the hall: an extraordinarily talented and good-looking youth in white clothes.

Wulin Alliance Leader, as if relieved of a great burden: “Then I will trouble Young Master Zhu, much obliged.”

Zhu Yanyin’s smile froze on his face, wait wait, what were you talking about just now?

Wanren Palace’s Palace Master, Li Sui — not a demon, but more demonic than one.

He lifted his eyelids, lazily and leisurely examining the person before him: “You also want to crusade against the Demon Cult?”

Zhu Yanyin hurriedly refuted: “No I don’t, I just want to stroll onto the stage when two sides are fighting, and charm the entire jianghu with my astonishingly elegant demeanor.” <<less

Wen Jianyan was a fraudster that was best at deceiving people.... more>>

One day, he was suddenly forced to become a novice anchor in the Nightmare live broadcast room.

Wen Jianyan: “…..”

A newcomer became the most-watched anchor because he was too good at deceiving people.

He lied to his teammates to deceive the audience and NPCs. He could deceive people as well as ghosts.

Sooner or later this guy will overturn!

There were more and more spectators who were gloating with schadenfreude, looking forward for that day.

But…why was the mission in this live room getting more and more strange?

Tang Bai was born into a wealthy family. His body was soft and slender, and he loved to act spoiled. His family searched far and wide to find him a handsome and rich prospective fiancé. However, the prospective fiancé liked independent and strong omegas and was very resistant to this business marriage.... more>>

One day, Tang Bai’s brain short circuited, causing him to believe that he lived in a book. He was the cannon fodder shou, and his prospective fiancé was the protagonist gong. The protagonist shou, Xie Ruheng, was a strong, independent omega of the new era who pretended to be an alpha. In the future, he would become a marshal and the light of the omegas.

No wonder the love-filled bento that he worked super hard to make was rejected by his prospective fiancé who didn’t even look at it. Tang Bai’s eyes reddened as he turned around. He saw that Xie Ruheng was eating the horrible tasting training meal. How could the future light of the omegas eat this kind of devil’s cruise that was fed to the pigs?

Tang Bai shyly said: “This was personally made by me. Us omegas need to pay attention to our diet and take care of our bodies~”

Xie Ruheng: ……?

The first time Xie Ruheng saw Tang Bai, he thought that even when this omega cried, he was still like the omega of his dreams. Although Tang Bai was virtuous, delicate, beautiful, and cute, he already had a prospective fiancé!

Xie Ruheng expressed with grief: “I won’t be the third party.”

Tang Bai was extremely moved, thinking that Xie Ruheng had already become good sisters with him and wouldn’t come to steal his man. There was a saying that Alphas were like clothes and good sisters were like one’s hands and feet. Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of you!

Xie Ruheng: ……

Very soon, Xie Ruheng heard a rumor. Tang Bai’s prospective fiancé hated Tang Bai, but he couldn’t defy the orders of his family, so he could only create trouble for Tang Bai everywhere.

Xie Ruheng: This is the omega of my dreams that I want to hold in the palm of my hands, and you actually don’t cherish him? tr*sh!

Xie Ruheng: Isn’t it just stealing a man? So sweet.

Tang Bai found out in horror: Why are the protagonist gong and shou fighting because of me?!

Tang Bai: Oh! They must have a love and hate relationship! <<less

Xu Ji was notified that he was to be betrothed to someone else. Someone who had fair beautiful skin, and a lovely smile.... more>>

The Xu parents were thrilled with his soon to be, they praised him for his beauty and family-centeredness. Li Ting shyly lowered his head and said thank you.

However, Xu Ji hates good kids like him. He said expressionlessly, “This is just a business marriage. You do your thing and I’ll do mine.”

Li Ting’s tone instantly dropped. “Okay.” he said.

Even so, every time Xu Ji came home, there would be warm food and a made bed waiting for him, as well as a beautiful wife who would tenderly say, “You’re back.”

If it weren’t for the chance encounter at the party——

Li Ting, attired in a silver-gray suit, with a little beauty resting on his leg, was blowing out smoke rings even more impressive than he could.

Seemingly unsatisfied, Li Ting faintly clicked his tongue, grabbed the little beauty’s hair and pulled it back.

Xu Ji, “…”

The other party wasn’t surprised to see him. He even lazily raised an eyebrow, saying to the person next to him, “Look, my husband’s here.”

Later, through a series of events, the two ended up in bed together. Xu Ji patted Li Ting’s face and said, “Be good, and I won’t hurt you.”

Li Ting closed his moist eyes and rubbed his cheek against Xu Ji’s hand.

Xu Ji was very satisfied, to the point that he didn’t even react when his wife suddenly flipped him over.

He cursed and tried to flip him back over with all his strength – but he couldn’t budge him!

Li Ting was pressing down on him, smiling beautifully. “You do your thing, and I’ll do you,” he said.

Then when he woke up, Xu Ji calmly asked for a divorce, and the smile on Li Ting’s face froze. <<less

Yet, the worst part is that he is the only Guide in the book who has a 60% compatibility rate with the most terrifying villain Sentinel.

Gong: Wait, that wasn’t mentioned in the book. Didn’t the Sentinel die because he didn’t have a Guide who met the minimum compatibility with him?

Villain Sentinel: Does that mean you came just for me? I’m so happy, I’ll not destroy this planet for now.

The most important duty of a Taoist priest is getting rid of monsters, exorcising ghosts, and raising his temple’s reputation! Xie Lingya, though, is not a Taoist priest. He just has the Immortal Roots…... more>>

Some people can learn in a day what takes others ten years of hard work. Xie Lingya is like this–other people have to cleanse themselves and meditate to draw talismans, but he can do it as easy as drinking a glass of water. Unfortunately, in this era, graduating from a renowned university is much more valuable than the talent for cultivation. He who has the Immortal Roots finally chose to study finance.

However, the world is unpredictable. His uncle, a Taoist priest, died unexpectedly, leaving his temple to Xie Lingya. His last wish was for his nephew to find the right person to inherit his sect’s teachings.

So Xie Lingya, who had no intentions to become a Taoist, ended up as… the owner of a Taoist temple. He began to earnestly manage the deserted little place, striving to gain believers. He also struggled to recruit priests, in hope of finding a suitable successor for his uncle. After a chance encounter, his target became Shi Changxuan, who came from an influential Taoist family and had outstanding skills. Not scared off by the man’s aloof personality, he struck up a conversation and tried to get his phone number. He didn’t realize this move could be easily misunderstood… <<less

Qi Xing is a typical spoiled second-generation rich individual who has always had an easy and carefree life. That is until he encountered his nemesis, Ye Xingzhou, the illegitimate child of the Ye family who suddenly rose to power and quickly took control of the family business.... more>>

At first, Qi Xing developed feelings for the handsome young man Lin Zhinian who was always by Ye Xingzhou’s side, but kept being frustrated by Ye Xingzhou constant interference.

The second time, he stumbled upon Ye Xingzhou’s dark secret and witnessed him pulling a gun on his own uncle, and Qi Xing found himself caught in the crossfire.

The third time, he witnessed him setting fire to the coveted sports car that Qi Xing had longed for. Filled with rage, he impulsively confronted him and ended up getting pinned down.

In public, Ye Xingzhou appeared to be a refined and gentlemanly figure, but Qi Xing couldn’t help but dislike him, firmly believing that he was nothing more than a beast in human skin.

Qi Xing went to great lengths to expose Ye Xingzhou’s true nature, but in the end, he fell into the trap set by him, losing everything in the process.

Ye Xingzhou had always ignored Qi Xing, a second-generation rich kid, until he saw the person under him with teary eyes, revealing a sense of grievance, anger, and unwillingness.

Arrogant yet fragile, that was the type of person he liked.

Duan Ling, the son of a righteous sect leader, was forcibly taken into an evil cult at a young age. Despite his circumstances, he grew up exceptionally handsome and held deep values of relationships and righteousness.... more>>

“Who are you?” Shen Ruozhen asked.

“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.

The washed-up magician Zong Jiu transmigrated into a horror, infinite flow novel about a survival show, taking the place of the cannon fodder who died tragically in the first evaluation round. This show was very interesting. Out of the tens of thousands of people, only a hundred people could survive, and the c-position (strongest contender) could even get a universal wish ticket.... more>>

If it were someone else, they’d probably be scared to death.

No one expected that Zong Jiu was not only unafraid, but also caused a sensational stir, shamelessly showing off his tricks the whole way.

Once his tricks stopped, and his life could be considered safe and sound, he ended up in a rivalry with the novel’s big villain.

Today you try to get at me, tomorrow I’ll get you back, back and forth, it’s pretty fun, heh.

As a result, though it was just playing around, one time they got carried away and really did end up sleeping together. Watching the nemesis who was pressing him to the ground, Zong Jiu lazily lifted his gaze. “If you want to kill me then kill me, don’t speak nonsense.” Even when at a disadvantage, he showed no trace of fear, and actually continued to provoke him.

That person used his ice-cold finger to trace his ear, and the action heading toward the aorta suddenly stopped.

“What a pity. I’ve changed my mind.”

He was once very willing to personally give Zong Jiu death. Every day, he used to regret not gouging out his flesh, personally snapping his neck. But after this person fell into his hands, another, more urgent desire grew like weeds.

Compared to winning or losing, he would rather see him crying and panting, with eyes red, begging for mercy. <<less

Xue Youka bit the ice cream and nodded happily: “Brother, this is delicious! Buy me another one?”

When they parted, they were extremely reluctant. Xue Youka thought that his spicy sticks were gone. The eldest young master was also sad because he wanted to see his lovely girlfriend next winter vacation.

All Meng Zezhi has to do is to live wantonly in these weird worlds.

“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: ???
