Master’s Favorite Hobby Is Standing on the Precipice of Exhilarating Danger and Hopping Up and Down
The Repentance of an Evil Disciple: My Master Was too Delicious... more>>

Ten thousand years ago, there was once a sword cultivator named Lord Yunzhen. He caught hold of a little sword spirit with outstanding talent.

Filled with joy, he became a master for the first time, assiduously raising his disciple. He could be called the very model of the profession, so dedicated that it was a little weird.

His disciple found his master so sweet and delicious that his heart turned black, and he became the lord of all demons.

***

The process: all sorts of exhilarating thrills that can’t be described in Jinjiang Literature City.

The result: My account got deleted, and I had to start over.

Ten thousand years later, Lu Yunzhen was a broke college student studying computer science. He met a terrifying high-level demon with outstanding talent, who wanted to take him as a master, and wouldn’t take no for an answer.

Mo Changkong acted honest. “I have pure intentions.”
Mo Changkong swore, “I’ll listen to everything you say.”
Mo Changkong was a practiced salesman. “I can slay monsters and demons.”
Mo Changkong guaranteed, “I’d never lust after Master’s beauty.”

Lu Yunzhen believed him!

Then one day, he recovered his memories, and realized his disciple wasn’t a loyal hound, but a possessive freak.

Lu Yunzhen: “???”

Mo Changkong: “Sorry, no returns allowed.”

***

This is the story of a loving master and loyal disciple, who stay that way so long as they’re not in bed. They fight monsters shoulder to shoulder, protect the public, and become heroes of the nation. In bed, well, that’s a different story—pillows and sheets go flying, and they quarrel as lovers do.

Lu Yunzhen: I love the world, it’s happy endings no matter where you go.

Mo Changkong: Master and I are the world. <<less

He Si Mu used to pick up people on the battlefield to earn her a living, but was unexpectedly picked up by someone.
The young general who picked her up seemed to see her as a weak woman orphaned by the war, and took great care of her.... more>>

So He Si Mu conscientiously and dutifully played the part of the weak woman.

— Oh my, blood! I am most afraid of blood, I faint when I see blood !

——This water basin is so heavy and I have so little strength, I can’t move it at all !

——You guys fight and kill all day long, how scary !

The female general who had an unrequite love on the young general angrily said, "Brother Duan certainly doesn't like such a delicate young girl like you!"

He Si Mu tilted her head: "Really?"

One day, the young general made a mistake on the battlefield, after being tricked by others.

He Si Mu, who couldn't lift her shoulders nor her hands and would faint at the sight of blood, loosened up her muscles, and lit up a ghost lamp: "I wanna me see who dares to bully our General Duan, little fox Duan ?"

Duan Xu then thought, he shouldn't have provoked the Ghost King.

It took him several months to learn that her real name was He Si Mu.

But maybe even with a lifetime, he still couldn't let her remember his name in her four hundred years of long life.

In her youth, Yan Zhen enjoyed teasing Gu Qinghe, a flower on a high peak, seeking opportunities to approach, pluck her, and claim her as her own. Whether she succeeded or not was another matter entirely.

Now a highly popular actress, Yan Zhen remained unwavering in her original intention, focused solely on “picking” Doctor Gu.

She always thought her beloved was just an “ordinary person”——

A cardiothoracic surgeon, though naturally cold and abstinent, was kind and gentle, captivating those around her.

Of course, she still couldn’t make Doctor Gu’s heart flutter, which troubled Yan Zhen.

Gu Qinghe, however, saw things differently. Born with the blood of a demon coursing through her veins, her thoughts were steeped in darkness. She had long harbored the desire to tear the other apart and consume her, right down to the bone. She would eliminate all threats, ensuring that Yan Zhen belonged only to her.

Someone nearby added, jokingly suggesting it would be best if he were liked by a handsome young man—eighteen would be too young, but nineteen would be just right. This playful remark elicited laughter from everyone present.

As glasses clinked and red wine flowed, Qin Qingzhuo, in a slightly intoxicated state, found himself thinking about a pair of eyes. He wondered if there really was such a young man.

He had thought he could hide it for the rest of his life, until Lee Jihoon asked in the fall of his twenty-nine.

"Don't you think it's even stranger that I've never heard you talk about women you've dated all this while?"

Realizing that he could no longer hide it, Ji Sunwook meekly confessed that he was dating a man and finally put an end to their relationship with the confession he had been putting off.

Lee Jihoon, who came to catch Ji Sunwook, denied that conclusion. He said that Ji Sunwook didn't love him, so this couldn't be the end for them. Not wanting to believe it, he blocked Ji Sunwook’s way out saying he would prove it.

Gu Jia Nian failed the college entrance exam and went to her grandmother’s house in the countryside for summer vacation.... more>>

She accidentally entered a villa covered in creeping plants and inhabited by a recluse known by the villagers as someone who never left their house and avoided the light.

Children even secretly called him a vampire behind his back.

As the vacation came to an end, she did two things: discussing with her parents about retaking the exam and confessing her feelings to him.

One succeeded, the other failed.

Two years later, Gu Jia Nian studied diligently in the competitive Chinese literature program at a prestigious university.

In a literature appreciation class, the professor assigned a reading list, with nearly half of it coming from a rising star novelist—who had won major literary awards with a full-length novel and a series of medium-length novels.

Gu Jia Nian sat in the library at 2 a.m., opening the preface of that full-length novel.

It began:

“Rough start, with over a dozen interruptions due to the erosion of romantic fantasies by harsh reality. Until one day, she knocked on my door, cleared the messy Chinese hawthorn outside, and handed me a box of pastries. From then on, light poured in.”

Guide for newcomers:

The male lead falls for the female lead after she comes of age.

They get together after she retakes the exam.

Six-year age gap, Student-Teacher Relationship (SC).

Told from the perspective of Chi Yan.

After deleting the twelfth draft’s beginning, someone with no sense of timing suddenly knocked on his door.

He opened it with a frown and found a shy high school girl standing outside, with big eyes, fair skin, and a box of cookies in her hands.

Due to family obligations, he reluctantly put an end to his reclusive life and started taking care of this girl who had been crushed by the pressure of the exam.

He let her read at home.

Gave her a key.

Accompanied her to doctor appointments.

Accompanied her on shopping trips.

Comforted her, encouraged her, praised her…

The girl was polite and sensible, but she never called him “brother.”

Finally, as her summer vacation came to an end and she was about to start retaking the exam, she awkwardly confessed her feelings to him.

“…”

Chi Yan glanced at her. “Let’s talk about this after you finish your exam.”

After the second year’s exam ended, Chi Yan sent her a text on WeChat, calculating the time the results would be released.

“How did it go?”

A long while later, she replied, “Well, I did great.”

Followed by another message: “Thank you, Brother Chi Yan.”

Chi Yan, brother.

“…”
