France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

One day, a man named Kito approaches her out of the blue, regaling her with a story about a set of cursed daggers, knights in the 13th century, and the two of them being cursed, fated lovers.

This stands at the forefront of strategy guides to Life (a shitty video game)!... more>>

Life is a bad video game. This commonplace phrase is, unfortunate as it might be, the truth.

After all, Life has no simple, easy rules. The rules it does have are nothing but irrational and unfair. The strong claim that Life has a high level of freedom, but the weak have no choice but to cope with an overwhelmingly disadvantageous design.

That’s why it’s a sh*t game.

Since I, Japan’s leading gamer who has experienced and mastered a multitude of games, say so, there can be no mistake.

Destined to be a top-tier character, that person is the school’s perfect heroine, Hinami Aoi. And to top it off, she even says she will teach me the rules of Life?

Popular writer Qin Zhaoyi was interviewed by the media, and a reporter asked, 'A year ago, you were still struggling with relationships, but your new book has caused a sensation, and readers are saying they want to marry on the spot after reading it.

Qin Zhaoyi replied without hesitation, 'No skills, it's all inspiration from my wife.'

That day, Qin Zhaoyi + wife became a trending topic on the internet. Qin Zhaoyi posted her wedding photos, indirectly announcing their marriage.

At night, Luo Yue whispered in Qin Zhaoyi's ear with a hint of grievance, 'Wife, why didn't I know you took wedding photos?'

Qin Zhaoyi: '...'

'Can you put it on for me?' Luo Yue said, 'I want to see.'

So that night, the wedding dress Qin Zhaoyi had just put on... went to waste.

Chi Ning: Sure enough, I was disliked.

Chi Ning was depressed, thinking about how to maintain the relationship between husband and wife.

But when he woke up, he discovered that the top Alpha was being carried in. His handsome face was as pale as paper. When he looked at him, his fingertips trembled in fear, and he threw himself on him and cried.

Chu Shaochen: “…Don’t cry.”

Chi Ning’s beautiful eyes were watery: “Don’t die, I don’t want to be a widow.”
