Chen Yuan discovered that his superpower would refresh once a week... more>>

In the first week, he noticed that every living being had a red number hanging over them, ranging from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands. The smallest number he saw was on a teddy bear, with a number of 0.00001 on its head, and the next second, it was crushed by a large truck.

In the second week, he found that he could hear other people's thoughts, uncontrollably. Whatever others were thinking, it would continuously flood into his mind, making him too afraid to go to public places like the subway or the mall. Moreover, he dared not look directly at the quiet girl with bangs and glasses sitting in the back seat...

Subsequently, he refreshed other special abilities such as "dream connection" and "body swapping."

Several weeks later, his superpowers suddenly stopped updating. He lived peacefully for several days, thinking he was finally going back to a normal life. Just when he thought everything was going to be okay, a girl in a red dress standing under a ginkgo tree tilted her head at him and asked, "Can you see me?" <<less

"I'll die in your place, Haeon."... more>>

On an Earth ravaged by monsters, gates, and the emergence of abilities, the world met its demise after the death of Cha Jae Kwon, the strongest hunter, and humanity's supposed hope.

"Haeon, hearing my name come out of your mouth is the most irritating thing in the world."

'Then why did you save me, Cha Jae Kwon?'

Jae Kwon, who despised him, sacrificed himself for Haeon.

As the last man alive, Haeon is transported back to when the catastrophe began.

Back to the past where Jae Kwon is still alive.

And he retains all the stats and skills he accumulated before his regression.

Determined to save both Jae Kwon and the world, Haeon decides he will die in Jae Kwon's place this time.

"I don't need your help. Are you deaf?!"

"I understand that you hate me. So what? I'm still going to help you."

Haeon's attempts to befriend Jae Kwon and help him, by acting differently than their previous timeline, are thwarted by Jae Kwon, who also acts unlike his past self.

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Although Sheng Dian is a young model who just entered the industry, she really doesn’t want use such cheap way like gossip and scandals that is so common in the entertainment industry to become popular. It’s a pity she couldn’t live up to expectations and bumped into the big star Sui Chen and fashion magazine editor-in-chief Du Yan Yan performing a romance drama in the hotel room, refused the money in exchange of her silence, and also carried away when talking to Sui Chen, and ended up being banned as a result. For the sake of her dream, Sheng Dian had no choice but to use the proverb “A greater man does not... more>> take note of a lesser man’s faults”, continuously pestering Sui Chen, and under Sui Chen’s pressure, reluctantly cooperated with him to stir up a scandal and cover up his affair with Du Yan Yan.

In Sheng Dian’s eyes, Sui Chen’s is cold and difficult to talk with, self-righteous and narcissistic, someone who gets easily offended and loves to take revenge on others. His methods of revenge are incredibly mean, and his motives of revenge are absolutely ridiculous. What exactly is so attractive about this kind of man… He’s just a common male creature who thinks with his lower body! “Excuse-me, but no mistake here, when facing you, my lower body won’t even function” said Sui Chen to Sheng Dian when he heard her complaining in his back.

Although she is often bullied by Sui Chen, but to spread gossips about Sui Chen also has its advantages : she met Qi Xuan. He’s also one of the most radiant stars, but he’s so much, so much sweeter towards Sheng Dan. That incredibly splending smiling face is like the the sun in winter, warm but not burning. Exquisite and moist lips, a tall nose bridge, and this pair of powerful peach blossom eyes, would make people feel numb from head to toe, and let Sheng Dian feel some warmth in this entertainment industry where loveable and hateful coexist.

As she spent more and more time with Sui Chen and Qi Xuan, Sui Chen cleared his misunderstanding about pure-hearted Sheng Dian, and gradually let his guard down. When she learned the reason why he was forced to pretend with her and found out Yan Yan’s other identity which caused Du Yan Yan to take action against her “rival in love”. Sui Chen’s indifference and domineering nature, Qi Xuan’s ulterior motives, and Du Yan Yan’s bullying and scheming caused naive Sheng Dian’s quick growth in the entertainment industry. When one day, Sheng Dian starts to dream that the fake scandal may come true, how will Sui Chen, who deeply loves Du Yan Yan, react? <<less

“Bring that girl in again tomorrow.”... more>>

It was a shocking move. It was the first time Blanchet's successor had brought the same servant twice.

The commoner girl, who stood out more than the anxious noble ladies, was insolent.

How dare she come in, covered in lies.

“If you were going to deceive, you should have done it right.”

The noble ladies who clung to him had at least some purpose.

In front of me, she doesn't smile like a doll, nor does she cry, harboring a rebellious purpose. Yet in front of others, she laughs so freely.

That's why he trampled on her and broke her down.

“You should cry for me.”

Someone like you should simply cry, grieve, and wail as I desire. Mourning for me who has limited time.

Rather than planning a radiant future, counting your remaining days. I want you to stay in the past. Forever.

Of course, I know well that such a thing will never happen.

Still, you must show sincerity. At least while I'm alive. <<less

The most talented woman in the capital, Gu Junruo, married the most handsome man in the capital, Han Mu. It sounds like a good story, but no one in the capital thinks that this is a good marriage.... more>>

Because the most handsome man in the capital has another important title – the number one silk trousers* in the capital!

Sure enough, just as Gu Junruo entered the door, an accident happened at the wedding banquet. Han Mu broke Jiang Huai’s leg, the second son of Marquis Yongping, who came to watch the ceremony. On the third day of their marriage, he was expelled from the capital and was sent to a poor county to serve as the county magistrate.

No one thinks that this is a good marriage, even Han Mu thinks so, and once wanted Gu Junruo to get out of his sea of suffering.
