What is love?... more>>

Love is a wound that is unable to be exposed merely from pictures;

Love is a sorrow that is unable to be expressed solely by words;

But love consists of more than just pain and despair,

Love can be exhilarating, it can also be blissful.

Even if it’s ambiguous, it can still be mutually protected for life.

In this novel, there are many stories; some maybe vague, others perhaps clear. <<less

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.

“Can’t you spread your legs a little more?”

The wolf knelt and looked into my thighs as if it were a gold mine. I closed my eyes tightly, but I couldn’t move closer to the wolf’s tenacious gaze that I could feel even when I closed my eyes. I just wanted this time to pass quickly. I felt like sweat would form on my thighs, so I wanted to tighten my thighs.

“Pull up the skirt a little more, okay? “

A very scratched voice. I opened my eyes and looked down. The wolf, who was burying his head in the width of her skirt, noticed my gaze, he pulled his hair out of my skirt and looked at me and scolded me.

“I can’t see well. you are standing .Can’t you sit down?”

“What are you trying to do in such detail? It’s over now.”

“You said you’d show me. After making a promise, why are you talking with two mouths?”

I was overwhelmed and frightened by the eerie eyes that sank lower and lower.

“I-it was actually a pressure interview. Pass.”
“What shall I do first, landlady? I’m good at housework, but I’m also good at other things.”

The man who suddenly changed into a friendly person gently showed a charming eye smile.

"That's okay."

Kwon Yi-tae raised one eyebrow. Raehwa continued to speak with a slight smile.

"If we want to imitate a fake couple, a kiss is...….”

There’s a notoriously hard-to-deal-with Alpha at No. 2 High School

Sleeping in school, and fighting outside school, Jiang Huai has consistently topped the list of ‘students teachers most want to beat to death’ among all the teachers who have taught him for many years. He also holds the first position in the ‘Most Aggressive Alpha’ list recognized by the official vote at No. 2 High School.

It is said that Jiang Huai has even forced an Omega he was interested in to transfer schools, almost leaving a lifelong mark on the person.

Despite being such an Alpha with a track record full of misdeeds and displaying bad behavior, someone has caught him in the restroom holding a syringe, injecting Omega-specific pheromone suppressants into his veins.

2.

Jiang Huai has always had a disapproving gaze towards Bo Jian from school—a well-off background, good-looking, and excelling academically. He ranks first in the No. 2 High School student-voted “Most Attractive Alpha” list and holds the top spot for “Alpha most desired for a relationship across the entire school”.

Bo Jian, being such a young and inexperienced pretty boy, Jiang Huai thinks he could easily overpower him with just one hand.

Until that day in the men’s restroom, when Bo Jian caught him injecting himself with pheromone suppressants.

He threw a punch that didn't land on Bo Jian's face. Bo Jian reversed his grip, pinning his hands behind his back, his breath pressed against the back of his neck, and casually said, "...Oh, you're an Omega?"

3.

Summer physical education class, before the class starts.

Bo Jian was cornered by Jiang Huai. “Don’t want to take suppressants, do me a favor, bite me.”

Bo Jian smiled lightly, “Why should I?”

Jiang Huai sniffed the faint, cool scent of peppermint leaves in the air, reminiscent of a snowy night.

“Because you intentionally used pheromones to seduce me.” <<less

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.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

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.
