Li Rong married Pei Wenxuan at the age of 18.... more>>

Li Rong used Pei Wenxuan’s family background to avoid disaster, and Pei Wenxuan used Li Rong’s identity as Princess to establish himself.

They married for political reasons, without the slightest bit of affection.

Later on, she lost herself in the midst of wine, song and dance. As for him, he had a home yet did not bother coming home because he already had someone in his heart…

Husband and wife for 30 years, yet nothing between them but power.

In the end, it was hardly surprising that someone turned them against each other, leading them to die under each other’s schemes.

However, when they woke up, they had actually returned to the year when they were 18 years old, returning to the most difficult time in their lives.

So Pei Wenxuan went to look for Li Rong.

“Does Your Highness feel that we should go through this marriage again?”

“Let’s do it…”

“Then this humble one must get rid of your ‘Guest Official’ first.”

“Do you think I’ll let your sweetheart off?!”

After a long wordless silence, Pei Wenxuan spoke again: “How about we bear with one another for the time being? In two years, when we each have power in our hands, you and I will divorce. From then on, if there are grievances, settle those grievances, if there are grudges, settle those grudges. What does the Princess think?”

Li Rong hesitated for a moment, and then said: “Fine, go ahead with it first…”

Later, Pei Wenxuan and Li Rong secured the power to control the Imperial Court. Seeing Li Rong write up the divorce letter at home, Pei Wenxuan looked left and right, considering the situation from all angles, then finally walked into the study. “The children are already this old, how about we keep living like this for a while?” <<less

I shouldn’t have but I couldn’t help but think of Yan Chao Sheng.

For the past centuries, he had always stood in front of me stubbornly, even taking and blocking lightnings for me.

On these naive times , I used to think that he loved me. Until later, he brought back the one who was truly in his heart, a fairy with whom I shared a great likeness.

I sighed, how cruel.

I gave my last breath too soon, therefore I didn’t get to see a figure staggering towards me under the heavy rain.

Yan Chao Sheng, the powerful demon king who owned everything under the sky, couldn’t even fly on a cloud at that moment.

Opening my eyes once again, I returned to seven hundred years ago.

Yan Chao Sheng back then was still young, not yet the demon king, but just the lowest disciple who was born with a demon pulse and suffered all kinds of mistreatments.

I surely felt that being s*upid once was already enough.

When he grabbed the corner of my clothes and I then trampled on his fingers, he still refused to let go.

I no longer loved him and this was just the beginning.

Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). ... more>>

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.”

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.

He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA.

After her parents passed away, Fan Changyu faced a string of hardships—her childhood sweetheart broke off their engagement, greedy relatives wanted to seize her inheritance, and with a five-year-old sister to care for, she decided to take a husband in name only.... more>>

Her plan centered on a man she had saved: wounded, with nothing to his name but a strikingly handsome face. They quickly reached an agreement: she would take him in to recover, and he would pretend to marry her, helping her hold on to her family assets.

Once the family business was secure, Fan Changyu prepared to write the divorce agreement, as promised. However, a war erupted, and soldiers were recruited; her “husband” was conscripted and vanished without a trace.

The next time she saw him, he was drenched in blood, lying in a wounded soldiers’ tent. His handsome face was smeared with blood, while his simple soldier’s uniform was torn to shreds. Seeing the hardship he had endured, Fan Changyu’s eyes reddened with tears.

“Don’t be a soldier anymore,” she whispered, her voice choked. “Come back. I’ll slaughter pigs to support you.”

He barely opened his eyes, coughing up blood. “You… wanted a divorce…”

Her eyes filled with tears. “No divorce, no divorce!”

Xie Zheng, the Marquis of Wu’an, became renowned at a young age, his achievements in battle granting him the title of marquis before he even turned twenty. His methods in military command were famously strict and ruthless, making him unmatched across the entire Dayin dynasty.

Recently, however, the soldiers noticed something peculiar about their marquis. He no longer resided in his spacious command tent, preferring instead to squeeze into the cramped and shabby tent designated for the wounded.

Though he’d taken a serious injury—a wound deep enough to bleed through his armor—under normal circumstances, he’d be back on his feet within a couple of days. Yet this time, he’d been lying there for over ten days with no sign of improvement.

The camp’s grizzled strategist clicked his tongue after visiting him. “Hmph. If someone is by your side to wipe your brow and feed you medicine, of course the wound takes longer to heal!”

It wasn’t until the marquis’s mysterious wife—who had never shown herself before—snuck into the barracks, wearing her husband’s tattered soldier’s uniform, and took his place on the front lines, fearing her “delicate, sickly husband” might die on the battlefield. Only then did the “gravely wounded” marquis leap up from his bed in shock, hastily don his armor, and rush to chase after her.

As the blood-red sun set, a lone goose cried across the vast sky.

With a butcher knife in hand, Fan Changyu hacked off the enemy general's head and squinted toward the distant friendly troops kicking up clouds of yellow dust as they approached. She pulled over a nearby soldier and asked, "The one charging at the front, wearing that bright armor with the Qilin shoulder guards and riding that big horse… why does he look a bit like my husband?"

The soldier: …Isn’t it possible that he actually is?

Synopsis:... more>>

Fu Jing was taken to a bar by her good friend to find romance.

Inside, the lights flickered, shifting between bright and dim.

She saw a stunning woman with a cool demeanor sitting by the window, holding a glass of whiskey, seemingly contemplating whether to drink it. Her features were exquisite.

—The legendary "face of the establishment," Gu Qingci.

At just one glance, Fu Jing's heart fluttered. She inquired everywhere about how to pursue her.

She heard the beauty liked amiable people, so Fu Jing maintained a sweet smile, was attentive, and threw herself into the pursuit.

She heard the beauty liked gifts, so her credit cards were swiped until gifts piled up in the booth.

Later... it seemed the pursuit was going pretty well?

The beauty would smile as soon as she saw her.

Fu Jing was taken to a dinner party. Her mother pulled her over to greet a powerful investor whom she had gone to great lengths to connect with.

"This is your Aunt Gu. She bought you toys when you were little, do you remember?"

Fu Jing's expression was utterly thunderstruck.

She hesitated to greet her. Her mother anxiously tried to smooth things over, "Oh, this child has always been a bit slow!"

But the woman reached out and pinched her cheek. Her usual cold demeanor from the entire evening suddenly vanished, and she smiled meaningfully, "It's fine, I don't think she's slow at all. She's quite cute."

Fu Jing: "……………"

She ended this failed pursuit, waving a white flag, ready to retreat.

This woman was too cunning; she was indeed a cold moon that Fu Jing could never reach, even by climbing a ladder to heaven.

But why... after she distanced herself, Gu Qingci moved into her house under the pretense of a temporary stay?

Gu Qingci made supper when Fu Jing was studying, and opened red wine to celebrate when Fu Jing published a paper.

When Fu Jing was showering, she blushingly handed clothes through the crack in the door,

only to have her wrist grabbed, preventing her from leaving. Gu Qingci's tone was aggrieved:

"Kid, why aren't you saying you're going to pursue me anymore?"

#How can I pursue you when you're richer than my entire family combined?# #I wanted to hook up with you, but you're my Auntie Gu…#

From Gu Qingci's perspective: #You're almost caught, and you want to just walk away?# #Let's see where you go.#

This is a story about a talented rich second-generation woman from the physics department who tried to flirt with someone using money, only to accidentally pursue a truly wealthy woman.

To marry such a person was to ruin one’s life.

Especially because after marriage, she learned that this person was also forced to marry her.

Liu Yuru was heartbroken, and after locking herself in the room for three days, she came to a realization.

Marrying such a dandy, why should she remain a perfect young lady?

So on the third day of marriage, the famously gentle lady shook her hands, carried a knife, and used all her courage to go to the brothel.

To the drunken Gu Jiusi, she said –

Get up!

Jiang Lan transmigrated into the role of the male lead's gold-digging first love. According to the original plot, all she needed to do was meet the male lead's mother once, and she could walk away with 20 million yuan.... more>>

Sitting in the restaurant, Jiang Lan said, "Give me 20 million, and I'll leave your son."

But the male lead's mother replied, "Here's 20 million for you—may you always be happy, may you always be joyful."

Jiang Lan: "..."

Through a twist of fate, Jiang Lan and the male lead's mother ended up participating in the reality show "Mother-in-law Has Arrived." Initially, everyone expected the Cinderella and the wealthy mother-in-law to be at odds, but instead, they overshadowed the leads of the hottest drama and became the internet's most beloved couple.

In the sweet and pampering segment, the mother-in-law regularly took her daughter-in-law on shopping sprees. Yu Wanqiu and Jiang Lan attended fashion shows, sitting between a top-tier young idol on the left and a handsome middle-aged man on the right.

In the wealthy family segment, while other daughters-in-law nervously prepared elaborate meals to please their mothers-in-law, Jiang Lan dragged Yu Wanqiu to enjoy fried chicken, beer, street food, hotpot, and skewers.

When the show ended, Yu Wanqiu hooked her arm around Jiang Lan's shoulder and said, "Whether you break up or not doesn't matter. Even if you do, it won't affect our relationship. Actually, breaking up might be better—I'll introduce you to someone even more handsome and richer."

Lu Yicheng: ???

Mini Theater:

When asked about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships, Yu Wanqiu's initial response was very diplomatic: "They shouldn't live together, meeting a few times a year is enough. Don't interfere in the couple's affairs. Let them decide how many children they want. It's important to be well-matched. If things don't work out, they can break up or divorce."

But after the show ended, Yu Wanqiu's answer was a complete reversal: "It's best to live in the same building as Jiang Lan, doing yoga together morning and night. As for children, it's better not to have them too early—it could affect my relationship with Jiang Lan. If they divorce, I fully support it. I know plenty of young idols, and if Jiang Lan prefers the mature type, that's fine too."
