The old Song family had five sons in a row, all of them resembling their father, tall and robust, with hearty appetites. They spent their days catching chickens and playing with dogs, much to the distress of their mother, who just wanted a sweet and considerate daughter. She wondered why it was so difficult.... more>>

With a big belly, she prayed to the heavens every day that this pregnancy would finally bring a daughter. The sincere prayer was answered, and Song Baozhu was born. As the only daughter, she became the family's treasure, treated like a golden nugget. The family firmly believed that their daughter (sister) was a reincarnated fairy; otherwise, how could she be so beautiful and smart?

Song Baozhu loved her parents and five brothers who always gave her the best. She lived a happy life, although she was inexplicably tied to a learning system that threatened to electrocute her if she didn't study.

After experiencing the pain of being shocked to near death for playing too much, Song Baozhu reluctantly wiped away her tears and forced herself to study. Later, she discovered that learning was not so bad after all. It could help her family live a good life, ensure uncles and aunts in the village had enough to eat, and make the village chief proud.

As Song Baozhu grew up, she entered into a relationship with a disciple from the capital. The family worried about her facing discrimination due to her background, but to everyone's surprise, she became a pillar of the nation and the treasure of her husband's family, bringing pride to the entire country. <<less

Two years ago, for one million, I “sold” myself to Huo Yuchuan.... more>>

As the contract neared its end, that night, I poked at the rice in my bowl and dutifully told him that I would be moving out next week.

Huo Yuchuan didn’t say anything. After finishing his meal, he asked me to weigh myself.

I had gained eight pounds since two years ago.

He said he couldn’t afford to lose money and demanded that I return those eight pounds to him.

I had never met such a miser.

Gu Qingci died unexpectedly in the apocalypse, only to wake up transmigrated into the body of the scummy wife of the female lead in an ancient ABO novel.

As a fallen noble who married a merchant’s daughter, she not only lived off her wife’s wealth but also looked down on her. She mistreated her, took multiple concubines, and after draining her wife’s fortune, divorced her to marry someone else. In the end, her ex-wife, who had risen to become the richest imperial merchant, and her new wife, the eldest princess, conspired to have her exiled to the army, where she died of starvation and cold.

When Gu Qingci transmigrated into this world, she found herself holding a cane, about to beat her kneeling wife—pressuring her for money to take a concubine.

Gu Qingci, whose survival instincts were honed in the apocalypse, immediately dropped to her knees in front of her wife.

Wife: ???!!!

Gu Qingci, teary-eyed and pitiful: Sister, what’s a concubine? Can you eat it? I only want you!

(Frantically hinting: Rich wife, hungry, food, sob sob, obedient, helpless, can eat a lot.)

…

Ruan Zhi noticed that her good-for-nothing wife—whose only redeeming quality was her beauty—had been acting strange lately. She seemed dumb but not entirely.

She no longer complained about Ruan Zhi’s "stink of copper" defended her everywhere, voluntarily handed over household management, and let her take full control of their estates and shops. To avoid taxes, she even took the military imperial exams and became a scholar!

Just as Ruan Zhi thought she was plotting something big, Gu Qingci brought her to meet the emperor’s eldest daughter and smirked: Sister, want a wife? I’ll help you! After the divorce, you keep all the assets—I just want a 10% cut.

Ruan Zhi: …

Once Ruan Zhi understood her wife’s intentions, she leaned in close, her breath warm against Gu Qingci’s ear, and whispered: If you want your cut, you’d better learn how to please me. Do it wrong, and you won’t get a single coin.

…

Later, to protect her soft, fragrant rice bowl (cough), Gu Qingci became a great general defending the nation, then an imperial prince of the highest rank.

During court, the emperor tried to bestow noblewomen upon her as concubines.

Just as everyone expected her to kneel in gratitude, Gu Qingci trembled and said: Your Majesty, please have mercy! I don’t want to go home and kneel on an abacus—have pity on this subject!

Before: Rich wife, hungry, food!

After: Darling, hungry, darling~ <<less

Pei Xiting transmigrated into the canary substitute in “Raising.”... more>>

The tyrannical, loyal young marquis, the virtuous prince who turned from a rotten cucumber to a good man; the noble, sickly green tea young master —the scum gongs group couldn’t get the white moonlight, so they set their eyes on the white moonlight’s younger brother. After truckloads of body and heart ab*se texts, the substitute stabbed his own throat and committed su*cide; thus the literary passion of the crematorium unfolds.

Pei Xiting, who had finished reading: “Ughh…”

Halfway through, he was thrown onto the bed with a chokehold by scum gong no. 1.

Pei Xiting: “?”

The scum gongs group was powerful, so in order to protect his butt, Pei Xiting, who was unfamiliar with the place, decided to lightly hug a thigh, and the target was the crown prince of the current dynasty.

As a passerby in the original novel, the prince had very little information available. In addition, Pei Xiting had only heard two rumors:

First, the crown prince killed his elder brother and poisoned his father. He was ruthless and merciless, and his thunderous means shocked the court and the public. Now the emperor is just a puppet, and the crown prince is the one controlling the clouds and rain.

Second: The crown prince is extremely handsome and has topped various lists, such as “Yejing’s dream lover.” Unfortunately, he carries a terrifying aura of “Lonesome beauty, don’t touch; otherwise, I will scatter your ashes”. So far, there has been no brave beauty who can touch this high-mountain carnivorous flower.

He sounds like a dangerous character, but the arrow is already on the string, so Pei Xiting has to shoot.

At first sight, His Royal Highness the crown prince has calm eyes and looks like a person in an ancient painting. Pei Xiting’s hands are itchy: What a perfect nude model; I want to draw!

Later, His Royal Highness the crown prince stripped himself bare, flaunting his broad shoulders and narrow waist, abdominal muscles, and long legs. Pei Xiting’s heart is itchy: Just drawing… is not enough!

Later on:

"Don't get distracted." The voice was low and calm, like a towering jade peak, yet it also held the tremor of a collapsing snow mountain due to indulgence infatuation. The esteemed guest, who stood above thousands, had long fallen into the mortal world, now wielding a sickle of jealousy and possessiveness at those who coveted his treasure.

Pei Xiting caressed the man's Adam's apple, smiling like a fox who finally got what he wanted. "Mhm." <<less

She was a secret guard, codenamed 37, later named Qingge by Ning Wang.... more>>

One day, she narrowly escaped death and was sent out to recover from her injuries. On the way, someone approached her, claiming she resembled the young lady he served. The young lady was suffering from a chronic illness, and he asked her to take her place in the wedding, hiding the truth from the groom for five months. The man offered her a generous sum of silver notes, and Qingge, being greedy, accepted.

But what she never expected was that the fiancée’s groom turned out to be none other than her master, Ning Wang…

Fortunately, no one knew the face of the secret guards, except for Heaven, Earth, and their Pavilion Master. Ning Wang had no idea. Qingge successfully hid her identity and cautiously played the role of a Wangfei.

Ning Wang was extraordinarily handsome but had a violent temper. One day, while investigating a traitor, he harshly interrogated all the secret guards. One of them ended up being punished for a trivial matter, receiving a hundred whip lashes, leaving the ground stained with blood. Ning Wang remained indifferent.

The Emperor arranged a marriage for Ning Wang with the legitimate daughter of the presitigious Xiahou clan of Ganliang. The Wangfei was gentle, charming, and pure in nature. Initially, Ning Wang was indifferent and cautious but eventually fell for her.

After ten months of pregnancy, the Wangfei gave birth to a son. When she returned after a visit to her natal family, Ning Wang gripped her by the throat and coldly demanded, “Where is this prince’s Wangfei?”

Though the woman before him looked alike, she was not her.

It was then that he realized the Wangfei he had shared his life with was a fake, brought in by the Xiahou family with money!

In his fury, Ning Wang unleashed a bloodbath.

Afterward, he searched everywhere for that woman, but despite turning the world upside down, he could not find her.

Three years passed, and Ning Wang’s initial rage and hatred turned into silence and contemplation, eventually giving way to quiet coldness.

Until one day, under the dim light of the waning moon, he gazed at the fallen phoenix tree leaves at his feet, covering the elongated shadow of the secret guard behind him.

In a low voice, he asked, “It’s you, isn’t it?” <<less

Fishing-type shou (Yun Xunlan) × Overthinking gong who conquers himself through imagination and is a master tr*sh-talker (Yu Chen)... more>>

Yun Xunlan was once the top medical cultivator in the cultivation world, revered as Immortal Lord Xilan.

But no one knew he was bound to a system that required him to be scolded by someone every day, or else he'd risk sudden death.

After becoming an esteemed immortal lord, no one dared curse him anymore. As a result, Yun Xunlan failed his tribulation and was struck dead by heavenly lightning.

Reborn into an interstellar world, he became the Empire's Third Prince—a dream alpha beloved by billions of omegas across the galaxy.

Here, he held an even higher status than before, ensuring absolutely no one dared insult him. Thus, Yun Xunlan constantly faced the threat of sudden death.

Fortunately, just before his eighteenth birthday, the royal family decided to select a group of top alpha warriors from the imperial army to form a personal guard unit for his protection.

When his attendant showed him a live broadcast of the guard selection process, Yun Xunlan saw an alpha answering the examiner's question: "What strengths do you have that qualify you to stay by His Highness's side?"

The alpha raised an eyebrow and replied: "I can turn anyone into a dog who can only kneel and beg for mercy."

Yun Xunlan's eyes lit up immediately: "That's the one!"

—

The entire empire knew that Major Yu Chen of the royal guard couldn't tolerate anyone insulting Third Prince Yun Xunlan. Whenever he heard someone cursing Yun Xunlan, he'd become furious as if he'd been cheated on by his spouse. He wouldn't stop until he'd beaten that person senseless. Every day, he either argued online with haters or challenged them to fights offline.

Later, Yun Xunlan underwent a secondary differentiation from alpha to omega. Major Yu Chen smoothly "married" into the royal family. Only then did everyone finally understand: Major Yu Chen loved the Third Prince so deeply that he couldn't bear hearing anyone insult him.

Yu Chen: No, it's because when someone insults my wife, it genuinely feels like I've been cheated on.

Yun Xunlan: [wants to speak but stops.jpg]

Brief Summary:

The shou (bottom) intended to use the gong (top) merely as a tool for completing his system tasks. However, the gong mistakenly believed that the shou had special kinks and was madly in love with him, thus unknowingly completing his own romantic conquest.

"Who knew an esteemed immortal lord could have two faces?"

Reading Guidelines:

1. 1v1 pairing; double C; HE (happy ending); fictional setting with many original details.

2. Initially double Alpha (AA), later Alpha/Omega (AO); shou transitions from Alpha to Omega as necessary for plot purposes—this detail won't change and cannot be spoiled further at this time.

3. The gong is sharp-tongued and curses frequently but generally won't curse at the shou ("special♂circumstances" aside). Readers sensitive to this should proceed cautiously.

4. Romance-focused story with heavy emotional content and minimal plot complexity.

Xiao Chiye followed the scent of the furor and made his way over. But instead of setting others on him, he kicked Shen Zechuan with his very own leg, rendering the latter an invalid. Who would expect this invalid to turn around and bite him in a counterattack until he was all drenched in blood?

That was the start of an epic feud between both men who tore at each other every time they come face-to-face with one another.

“Fate wants to bind me here for life, but this is not the path I choose. The yellow dust submerged my brothers deep under. I have no wish to bow in submission to an illusory fate. The imperial edict can’t save my troops, and the imperial court can’t fill the stomachs of my mounts. I’m no longer willing to lay down my life for this purpose. I want to surmount that mountain. I am going to fight for myself.”

“If I’m going to be branded a ‘Assassin’ anyway, I might as well make it true.”... more>>

Shulineh Hazakura was raised for one purpose—to protect a certain individual. But that mission was never fulfilled.

On the very day she was to begin her duty as a bodyguard, the person she was meant to protect was assassinated. The blame fell squarely on Shulineh's shoulders.

All she had left were the sword skills honed solely to protect others—and the stigma of a killer.

So, she made a choice: if the world would call her a mu*derer, then she’d become one for real.

In a single moment, she cut down those she believed had framed her—and gained her freedom.

As she wandered, she came across a girl.

Her name was Lutesia Hailenwerk—who, as fate would have it, was being targeted by assassins.

When she was young, Wakako had a master.... more>>

Others called her Lady Saint.

The Saint had skin like ice and bones like jade, beautiful beyond human. She appeared cold on the outside, but spoke softly and gently.

Others said the Saint was destined to be offered to the King as his queen, sacred and inviolable, and that commoners like them should keep their distance.

"Are you leaving?" the Saint said calmly. "Only you will talk to me."

Wakako couldn't bear it, so she held her hand and solemnly made a promise: "I won't leave. I'll stay with you."

The Saint was stunned, then nodded.

Life is unpredictable. Later, during political turmoil, the Saint disappeared and was rumored to be dead.

Wakako became a decorated mercenary, but she still couldn't forget her former master.

During an urgent mission, she was forced to drink with her target and was subsequently drugged.

When she woke up, she found herself tied up and unable to move.

Opening her eyes, she saw the snow-white skinned Saint in front of her, her features seeming to radiate a divine light, making one want to submit at her feet and become her devotee.

Wakako had never been able to forget that face.

"Explain yourself," the delicate Saint commanded.

Just as expected, the Saint had blossomed into an Omega, as ripe and alluring as a crimson cherry. Her pheromones, released without restraint, instantly made the knees of the Alpha, who had never touched a woman before, weak.

She crouched down, looking at the flushed Wakako:

"You know what the punishment will be if you don't."

For as long as she could remember, Miki had lived like a puppet.

Her family told her she was the most noble Omega, destined to become the King's Queen. She had to be impeccably behaved, memorize noble etiquette, and learn how to please the King.

But no one truly cared about her.

Until she met that girl, the clumsy, silly Alpha.

Despite knowing nothing, she laughed without a care in the world, fearless and bold, promising to take Miki away.

It was the first and only time Miki had ever wanted to hold someone's hand.

And she never intended to let go. <<less
