One day, while Lin Chen read a book, Xing Cong Lian said to him, “You’re a psychologist. Can you help me find out what kind of person is suitable for me to marry?”... more>>

Lin Chen remembered telling him love was the most immeasurable thing in the world. Even psychologists couldn’t predict love, because its progress in two people’s lives had countless variables.

What variables?

Lin Chen thought, at the time, the first variable was: You’re just an ordinary police officer who liked eating crayfish at the stall with a bottle of beer. I didn’t know you were…

Or: I didn’t know when I fell in love with you or when you fell in love with me. <<less

Liang Cheng: Is there anything in this world that you dislike, Qiao Yuanlin? ... more>>

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Yuanlin replied, "Failure."

Ironically, it was soon after this exchange that Qiao Yuanlin, who despised experiencing setbacks, encountered the biggest setback of all at the hands of Liang Cheng.

After several years had passed, Qiao Yuanlin found himself face-to-face with Liang Cheng again, this time at his father's second marriage banquet.

To his utter shock, Qiao Yuanlin discovered that Liang Cheng had become his stepbrother.

Father Qiao announced, "From this moment forward, you shall be brothers. Best of luck to both of you."

Unimpressed by this newfound familial connection, Qiao Yuanlin lashed out in frustration, exclaiming, "Damn you!" <<less

She was reborn as Myne, the daughter of a soldier in a world where the literacy rate is low and books were scarce. No matter how much she wanted to read, there were no books around. What is a bookworm to do without any books? Make them, of course.

Her goal is to become a librarian! So that she may once again live surrounded by books, she must start by making them herself. <<less

A fickle, decadent, wilful person going through life like it’s a game.... more>>

An experienced, logical mind that’s above feelings.

This was a relationship that had started off with “Carpe Diem”, but slowly turned into a bloodless, psychological battle. They shared a mutual distrust, but also mutual attraction. As they suspected and tested each other, challenging each other’s limits, they both fell into the enemy’s hands with their eyes wide open. Sentiments growing amidst ignorance, they finally, were caught in their own traps.

Cold tyrant lord President Xie You has a one ton heavy weibo focus on Yu Nian, the new singer. Yu Nian participated in a singing variety show and became popular overnight, and his singing voice was called the sound of nature.... more>>

Xie You: Oh, it must be a tuner, how could it be so good!

Yu Nian’s GIF with a smile while singing swept the whole internet and he was praised for his looks.

Xie You: Oh, must have been a plastic surgery, how could it be so beautiful!

A few months later, President Xie, the antifan leader, updated his Weibo: Hello everyone, we are together @YuNian

Sunspots & Netizens: Joking with us?

Yu Nian was invited to be a guest on a treasure appraisal program. Yu Nian only glanced at it and concluded that an ancient painting worth 70 million yuan was fake.

After the show was broadcast, many netizens started the group mocking mode. They were addicted to mocking Yu Nian crazily, looking forward to slapping him in the face.

When Xie You knew: “No, no, no, NianNian, listen to me, this time it really wasn’t me who brought the water army!”

Soon after, Yu Nian’s life experience was picked up…

After all the netizens had fallen silent, they entered the collapse mode: “Painting is indeed false, because the authentic one has been in his house for three hundred years!”

“The point is, this is the same person who can not afford to takeout, why are you so good? Been trained, trained, trained – do we still have a chance to call you laoji?” <<less

In college, Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui were very different from each other— their paths would never cross.... more>>

One was a free spirit, a moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. The other was a well-behaved and quiet girl, easy to be ignored.

As she finished her assignments one after another in the library, she had no intention to listen to matters regarding him and others. Yet, she had witnessed him changing girlfriends one after another.

At a party, Xu Sui was drunk and summoned up the courage to confess to him.

Zhou Jingze froze for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips and said casually: “I’m sorry, you are too well-behaved and quiet.”

They met again, countless times, whether it was intentionally or unintentionally. Xu Sui should have pushed down her thoughts and kept a distance from him.

Yet, he kept pressing, leaving her nowhere to hide. Finally, Xu Sui was against a wall: “Why me?” Zhou Jingze lowered his head and whispered to her: “There is no why; I used to be blind.” <<less

He had four disobedient disciples, who now achieved success, won recognition and established their own sects.... more>>

The embarrassing thing is that it was him who drove those four out of his sect to make them independent.

But one day he had an incident and lost his cultivation. His life was hanging by a thread. Wandering around, he walked into his third disciple’s territory.

What should I do?

Mountains and seas can be tamed, days and nights can disappear.

Only you, the exceptional you, refuse to give up.

A young master who lived in his maternal grandpa’s residence in the countryside, and led a pampered life saw him in his girly attire…

For the sake of cheating him out of spicy sticks and ice creams, Xue Youka used his cousin sister’s name and played house with him, becoming his little girlfriend. The other party even promised to marry him in the future.

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.

"I just love music, but I became an actor instead, and I’m not even popular." ... more>>

The eighteen tier young actor Lu Wen had low EQ. He had talent for acting but no foresight. On the first day of joining the filming crew, he offended Qu Yanting, a big screenwriter in the circle.

Lu Wen: It was not intentional.

Later, he thought that Qu Yanting would use his position as a big name in the circle to take revenge, using upspoken rule on this small fresh meat then using money to ruin his reputation.

Lu Wen: The entertainment industry is really dirty.

Repeatedly jumping between being turned over and overturning, fighting with traffic actors, making daring statement, face-slapping program group, abandoning the script on reality show, Lu Wen: I like Teacher Qu very much.

Gu Zhuoyan and Zhuang Fanxin. ... more>>

They met in their teenage years, two bright stars colliding in the night sky. They fell in love, and together they passed the happiest days of their lives. But all good things must come to an end, and they eventually broke up.

Time passed, and they lost contact. They grew up apart, each going their own way. But even though they were apart, they never forgot their first love.

One day, they met again by chance. They were both on blind dates, and they found themselves sitting across from each other. They were both surprised by how much they had changed. They were no longer the carefree teenagers they once were. They had grown up, and they had experienced the pain of loss and heartbreak.

Husband, Xue Duan has been out of date for three months, do you not love me anymore ? TvT... more>>

On Shangyuan's Lantern Festival , a banquet was held in the Imperial Garden. Officially, it was in the honor of the monarch and his officials, but in fact, it was to select a princess consort for His Highness the prince Dongbei.

At the banquet, Ying Ying, the daughter of Marquis Cheng'en, bowed down and offered a song, Clouds Over the Rivers Xiao Xiang. At the end, she softly said : "The official's daughter has no talent ; I've made a display of my poor skills"

A man dressed black brocade who sat at the center coldly interrupted her "Since you know you have no talent, then don't show yourself."

Everyone turned silent, with no one who dared to refute. The young miss of the Ming family who was sitting at the last seat of the table took a glance from afar, only to feel that His Royal Highness King Dongbei was rude and arrogant to the extreme, really not a kind person.

Later, the bridal chamber was full of candles, the wine was exchanged, and the red candles were shining.

The young miss of the Ming family shivered when helping him undress.

The man suddenly talked, asking her to play the tune Wild Geese Come to the Sand Dune.

She pretended to be courteous and happy, but she was so nervous that she forgot to refuse, so she only tried : "Since I am not talented, then... why... why show myself?"

She raised her eyes to glance at him, but saw a pair of eyes that seemed to refrain from smiling, "You are not untalented, this prince actually thinks, my wife is very beautiful." <<less

In the summer of 1992, Shan Ming was injured during a mission and got separated from his teammates. He was lost in the vast and horrifying primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border.... more>>

Relying on his rich experience in wildlife survival, he still holds absolute confidence in his ability to escape from difficulties.

However, it took him double the time expected to escape from this devil’s land.

The reason was that he accidentally picked up a creature that should’ve never appeared in this place – a child – a little Chinese boy.

On a whim, Shan Ming picked up the child from the gates of death. As a result, he changed the fate of two people, or perhaps even more.

The untraceable plane crash, the numerous crises faced by the mercenary group, the suspicions and sacrifices among the members of the group, and the ice-thin relationship with the government organization.

The fear-stricken “National Weapon” project, the legendary and tragic fate of the “Dragon Blood Kins”.

Huge conspiracies were hidden behind the seemingly ordinary missions and everything seemed to be connected with the child’s mysterious identity.

His appearance dragged Shan Ming and his mercenary group step by step into irreparable doom…

Ahem, the text above is sort of tricky. Let’s try a more relaxed version:

Due to a plane crash, a five-year-old (human?) shota got lost in the primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border. He was forcibly raised by a Chinese member of an international mercenary group.

Since falling into the hands of this inhuman mercenary, the shota has completely bid farewell to his delicate childhood and begun his painful ripening.

When other five-year-old shotas were acting mushy gushy in their mothers’ arms, he had been forced to learn how to shoot a headshot.

When other seven-year-olds were held in the palm of their parents’ hands, he had to solo the pe*verted killer who lusted after him.

When other ten-year-olds were still innocently crushing on their female deskmate, he had already followed his foster father, who had no lower limit to his morality, into and out of the colorful brothels in Las Vegas.

After being under the influence of his foster father for a long time, the naive little shota finally became abnormal…

So this is the story of a delicate young master who has been bullied and cruelly trained since childhood.

One who eventually grew up to be a black-bellied cold-blooded mercenary and successfully overpowered his despicable foster father that always treated him like reserve food and ordered him around like a dog. <<less

In a world where strength is power and one’s worth is decided by birth, Chang An goes against the odds by learning the way of the saber.... more>>

He was born as a frail and sickly sub-beast, falling ill when exposed to even a little gust of wind, yet from a young age, he has always yearned to be strong like the beastman warriors. Everyone tells him that it’s impossible, and he himself nearly resigned to it as well. However, upon experiencing the death of a loved one, he learns that only by being strong can one be a master of their fate.

On the other hand, Hua Yi, the son of a Chief, is a beastman with silver marks. He is gifted with immense power and could rule over others if he so pleases. However, he finds himself to be different from the other beastmen. He has no desire to conquer, and inside he is softhearted. He would’ve liked to keep living a simple and carefree life, but after a betrayal from a family member, he is forced to grow up.

These two once innocent children are brought together by fate. Together, they navigate a cruel beastman world, and along the way, they learn more about life and themselves. <<less

The monk’s monastic title was Xuan Min, his memories all missing, yet was versed in the arts of Feng Shui Kan Yu**. On the very first day arriving in Ningyang, he did not hesitate to take care of a dangerous manor, picking up Xue Xian, who was hidden there, along the way.

Since then, Xue Xian – who had been all-powerful in the first half of his life – gained a new life pursuit: to get this baldy*** who had only a good outer appearance to take his last breath and “smile from his grave”.

Jiang Chao Ge, people called him “money hungry Jiang”. Went from a street hooligan to a newly appointed city official. The difficulties he experienced along the way he hid deep inside himself and did not say a word about it. He only wants be blinding in the eyes of everyone from now on.... more>>

Who would’ve thought that before he even had the chance to enjoy the wealth and reputation, he inexplicably passed into a different world. Moreover to his bad luck, the first thing he was faced with was being chased down to be killed. He just casually took a worn out rusted old sword to defend himself, why are these country bumpkins who’ve never seen the world chasing him so relentlessly?

In order to get himself a body guard, he tried to summon the ‘animal spirit’ in the sword. In the end, he summoned a devilish brat who rolled his eyes upon seeing someone, who only called him a good for nothing, who bit him whenever he got close. Where was the powerful, first class spirit weapon he was promised?!

No money, no power, no people, life constantly at risk. He couldn’t see the path ahead, nor could he face the fierce tiger behind. Jiang Chao Ge was beaten back into the abyss with one hit. In this unfamiliar world full of thorns, there is only one reason that allowed him to persevere and that is: to go back.

Hence, he was forced to embark on a desperate and risky journey with this devilish brat who he loathed mutually. <<less

San Lang: A blood-soaked phoenix, a precious pearl covered in dust. What sort of heart is hidden beneath his devastatingly beautiful face? When sunlight manages to at last shine into his heart, and when the door of his heart opens by a thread, like water that has spilled to the ground, these cannot be undone. Unforgettable is that brilliance he saw during the season when the peach blossoms bloomed, that seemed to burn his eyes, and even more unforgettable is that single unrivallable song that had been sung out upon that snowy bridge over the frozen river.

Xiao Ci [Little Ci]: Lithe like the waves, pure and attractive like the lotus. She is like a fairy of the mountains who flutters her wings, stirring up the most perfect storm within their worlds. She warmed those icy fingers, she embroidered that one twig of peach blossoms. In this complicated society of worldly affairs, a single statement of “understanding” [being understood, being told you are understood] is worth more than a thousand words.

Who shall win, and who shall lose? Who has lost, and who has gained? Who achieved, and who had to sacrifice? None of these are important. This story of legends will one day, when one has seen past the surrounding scenery, become one with the indistinct green, rolling hills and the forever flowing waters. <<less
