Shi An is the last Abyss Dragon in the world. Since he was bored, he decided to go into a deep sleep while hugging his treasures. After fifty thousand years of satisfying slumber, Shi An opened his eyes only to discover that he had become a weak human with short hands and legs.... more>>

He glanced down at his mysteriously downsized body and then lifted his head to look around his empty cave. “……” Where is my powerful and majestic body? My big tail? Most importantly, where are my treasures?!

After thousands of years of hard work, sleeping just once has sent me to square one.

***

In the year 2202, the conflicts between humans and monsters are becoming more and more intense. Although the monsters are strong, the fantastical species that used to rule the continent have all but disappeared.

Shi An, the Shi family’s youngest son, is Mage Academy’s infamous mage who has no magic power. Each student’s magic power is measured at the beginning of the school year. Shi An looked at the three destroyed magic detection equipment and innocently asked, “Eh? Are these equipment’s quality not very good?”

During actual combat training, low-ranked monsters fled before Shi An could get close. Shi An looked at their fleeing figures and innocently exclaimed, “Yay, lucky!”

Everyone else was speechless. “……?” I believe I am dreaming.

Mu Heng——human species’ strongest mage——is the only remaining human who bears the noble dragon slayer bloodline.

He coldly and arrogantly said, “Dragons? Extinction is their best outcome.”

A long time later, Mu Heng turned his head back to look at the dragon cub reclining on the piles of treasure. Mu Heng withdrew his gaze and leisurely asked, “Are there any other jobs? I want a well-paid one.”

Extinction is out of the question now. As a matter of fact, I can only earn more money so that I won’t get kicked out of bed at night. <<less

In 2121, a terrible pollution disease swept through the world.... more>>

“We call it distortion, but perhaps, the history records of later generations will call it an evolution.”

The world experienced involution.

Today, that person’s head split into two. Tomorrow, that flower would grow fangs. The day after that, that fish would climb ashore with its legs…

Lu Yan: And I am merely a mediocre doctor who treats the pollution disease.

*

Patient A: When I first grew 18 tent**les, I was having a great time eating [beep—] by the seaside. As soon as Dr. Lu came, he cut 17 of them for me. He’s really a brilliant doctor!

Patient B: I am a poisonous mushroom. My spores are highly toxic and can be parasitic. I gave birth to hundreds of thousands of microspores, which made it worse for my already poor family. Dr. Lu helped me practice family planning when he came. This great kindness will forever be remembered!

Patient C: I have eight mouths. I was a picky eater and only ate meat, so I set up a slaughterhouse for this purpose. But then, Dr. Lu cured my picky eating. This woman of faith is willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of her life in exchange for Dr. Lu’s happiness and well-being in this life.

Lu Yan, the top of the food chain, the eternal god. <<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

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.

However, when they agree to meet for the first time in a long while, Kwon Jaekyung is not interested in the terms of the contract. He just suddenly asks about Jiheon’s second gender…. <<less

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

Ye Yao found out that he was in love with his friend Lu Xun.... more>>

They ate and slept together, were almost inseparable, and were each other’s best friends.

From what he has learnt over the years, Lu Xun is a straight man of steel, and because of his good looks, he is very attractive to guys with a male s*xual orientation.

Whenever such a person appeared, Lu Xun would cut them off without a second thought. Even if he was a good friend before, he would still blackball them without any hesitation, keeping them completely out of his world.

To preserve this friendship, Ye Yao minimised the time he spent with Lu Xun, a relationship that should not have been discovered.

Lu Xun wanted to travel alone with him, but he refused.

Lu Xun wanted to take a bath with him, but he refused.

Lu Xun wants to sleep with him, but he still refuses.

……

Ye Yao managed to reduce his contact with Lu Xun, but one day, when he was alone at home, he was blocked by Lu Xun.

The man who was always cheerful and sunny to him now had a horrible dark face and pinned him against the wall.

“Hiding from me?” Lu Xun laughed coldly, “If you can’t give a proper reason …… you can’t blame me for following you every minute of every day.”

Ye Yao confesses in part.

He tells Lu Xun that he likes men, but does not say that he likes Lu Xun.

Lu Xun, who shunned homosexuality like a snake, gave him exceptional treatment.

Not only does he not stay away from him, he takes him to the movies and tries to straighten him out.

“What’s so great about smelly, hard men, it’s disgusting.” Lu Xun put his arm around Ye Yao’s shoulders and pointed at the man working hard on the computer screen with one hand, saying to Ye Yao, “It’s hard and smelly, let’s not like men anymore, okay?”

Ye Yao was silent for a moment: “You’re right about everything, but …… I’m the one down there.”

Lu Xun was stunned, and then fled.

Ye Yao thought his friendship with Lu Xun would end here, but at one of the social events, in the darkness, he was wrapped up in a familiar embrace.

The usually casual voice was now full of anger: “How dare you let another man touch you?”

**

Ye Yao finally understood.

Lu Xun, who was straight, had become gay without Lu Xun knowing it himself. <<less

The cousin that Jing Huan has been closest to since he was a child was labelled as "the other woman" in a certain popular online game: only after devoting herself did she know that the other party was a jerk with a girlfriend.... more>>

After several days of being bullied online by people in the game, his cousin went abroad in a fit of anger and sorrow.

Jing Huan couldn't take this lying down; he decided to take revenge for his cousin using the same method as that guy - buy a character in game and kill that slag guy thousands of times online.

With his strength and skill as the Great God when the game was first launched, wouldn't he be able to kill that guy and force him to quit the server in minutes?!

He went online, eager to fight, but made a discovery after conducting a round of investigations — this slag guy was the number one DPS server-wide, number one on the expert ranking list, number one on the wealth ranking list, number one on the popularity ranking list, and number one on the fame ranking list.

Conclusion: Can't screw him over.

Jing Huan felt despondent. He was just about to give up when he personally witnessed his dormmate's online relationship end right after meeting each other in real life. The other party had sent fake photos and changed their voice, and had even cheated him of his money, triggering his dormmate so much that he was almost admitted to a hospital.

Jing Huan felt enlightened as a sudden realisation dawned on him. After comforting his roommate, he moved the high-priced voice changer back to his rented house overnight. <<less

In the stables, Qing Jiu rescues a young girl. This girl, with a stubborn streak, insists on following them. Qing Jiu allows her to stay, watching her grow day by day, only to eventually realize that what seemed to be a mere stubborn rock is in fact a precious jade.... more>>

Qing Jiu reflects, "Today I've found a seed, buried it in the soil, and nurtured it day and night with great care. Will a delicate flower bloom from it next year?"

In the depths of despair, Yu’er was given a helping hand. Qing Jiu's arrival was the first ray of light piercing through her darkness, and since then, she has stayed by her side. Even if she is as elusive as a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection on water, being a bit closer to her is enough.

Yu’er wonders, "Today, a bright moon settled in my heart. I chase after her relentlessly, day and night. Can I be closer to her next year?" <<less

“A reckless and prepared to sting instrumental performer (gong) x a gentle and mature mentor (shou).”... more>>

On Qin Qingzhuo’s twenty-ninth birthday, his friends in the circle organized a small birthday party for him. Outside the window, the sound of rain was pattering. Someone raised a glass to offer their blessings, expressing the hope that Teacher Qin would encounter a passionate and lasting romance before turning thirty.

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.

Meanwhile, that young man was eagerly awaiting his response, hoping to meet him on this rainy night.

The background involves a variety show featuring a band, with a mix of a rebellious and sharp musician as the gong and a gentle and mature mentor as the shou.

Jiang Ji x Qin Qingzhuo, with an age difference of ten years. <<less

At a banquet, someone saw Lu Fenghan standing next to the Supreme Commander, drawing a circle of admirers around him.

It seemed as if Lin Banxia was being targeted by something strange.... more>>

He was alone, but the home was full of strange noises; banging closets with nothing in them, dripping taps with no water, and strange chewing noises outside the window.

Until one night…

He woke up suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a skeleton as white as snow lying on the ceiling of his house. It turned its head, grinning at him with a brilliant smile. <<less

On the server “Altar,” an upper-class survival game was officially launched. Survival was the only logic in the human game of alliance, betrayal, and human-natured games of deceit and treachery. After the smoke of gunpowder ends, only the survivors can speak.... more>>

As soon as he opened his eyes, the amnesiac An Wujiu saw a person at his side killed. While in confusion, a floating green typeface appeared before him.

Variable Name: An Wujiu

Attributes: Male, 20 years old

Game Rounds: 5

Win Rate: 100/100

Danger Rank: SSS

No wonder they were afraid.

The first time he saw An Wujiu, Shen Ti felt curious. The kindness and fragility in those eyes were not fake, so how could he survive in the Altar? It was until he saw the man had a sudden personality change. He recklessly gambled regardless of the cost, casually estranged people, grew further excited on the verge of death, and even calculated against himself to win. Only then did Shen Ti realize that it was his own cognitive bias.

Fortunately, he wasn’t a normal person either. <<less

Wen Jianyan: “…..”

I’m sorry, I’m very principled, thank you for not deceiving yourself.

— Don’t come here!

*Frying CP means pretending to be a couple. <<less

Jisu, bewildered: 'Senior, I'm a guy.'

Senior, with a fierce look: 'Precisely because you're a guy, and because you're more endowed than him, you have to make him understand the dangers of online dating!'

Jisu: '...'

To help the senior get revenge, Jisu adds the scumbag on WeChat with a new account, racking his brains every day to chat with him. But no matter how many good morning and good night messages he sends, the scumbag never replies.

Until one day, Jisu sends a photo to the scumbag. In the photo, he is wearing white shorts, revealing a slender and well-proportioned thigh.

This time, the scumbag responds instantly: 'Is that your leg in the photo?'

Jisu discovers that the scumbag senior has a leg fetish. The scumbag frequently finds excuses to ask for more leg photos. To avoid revealing his gender, Jisu buys skirts online and obediently sends leg photos.

Xia Qing died and was forcibly thrown into a book, becoming a sidekick to a tyrant. The system told him that as long as he took over the tyrant’s body and completed the plot, he could come back to life. Xia Qing looked at the unpredictable and cruel new emperor of the Chu Kingdom in front of him, rolled his eyes, and said, “Come back to life? Don’t you know I died poor in my previous life? Get lost, don’t stop me from reincarnating.”... more>>

The system shrank back, bracing itself, “Um… Host, how about I introduce the plot to you first? Maybe you’ll change your mind.”

Xia Qing reached out and grabbed it, “I don’t want to hear it. Shut up and send me back.”

However, the system didn’t shut up. Right in front of him, it talked non-stop, rapidly narrating a cheesy and popular story. The plot of the tyrant in the book was basically a series of suicidal actions in the early stages, followed by being hopelessly in love with the protagonist but unable to be with him, getting tortured and heartbroken to death.

The system cautiously asked, “Don’t you want to know the ending?”

What a joke. Xia Qing covered its mouth, “I don’t!”

“But I do.” A light laugh came from across the table.

Xia Qing and the system looked up at the same time.

The young emperor, who had been turning pages with his head down, finally put down the book and looked over. With his flowing black hair and snowy white robe, he placed his hand on the table and smiled gently at Xia Qing. His voice became tender and affectionate, as if whispering to a lover, “Go on, let him speak. I want to hear my own ending.”

Cold as ice, his tone was so light that it seemed capable of cutting through moonlight.

For certain reasons, the two of them reached an agreement.

Lou Guan Xue was inherently cruel and sinister, with deep-seated hatred buried within his flesh and blood, like an evil spirit. When he first met the soul from another world, his mind was cold, and he only wanted to use him. But unexpectedly, due to a twist of fate, that person saw all his past — he saw the ugliest, most cowardly, and humiliating side of him, yet chose to rescue him from those memories filled with mud and blood.

Lou Guan Xue once thought about killing him.

But on the day when the tower collapsed, with merfolk turning into demons and darkness enveloping the world, that person put down his sword and his soul disappeared.

He knelt before the formation with bloodshot eyes, his black hair turning white, falling into madness overnight.

And the receiver’s soul flying away isn’t caused by the attacker, mainly for the sake of returning to the original body (the synopsis feels like too many spoilers, whatever, it’s just a short story, love it or leave it)! Actually, there’s not much emotional turmoil in the plot. <<less
