Xie Gu was your typical CEO. ... more>>

His favorite was money. His best skill was earning money. His unique selling point was having money. His dream was to make money generate more money automatically. 

And then, a money-lover like him died in a car accident when he was avoiding an arranged date. 

Just when he was beyond grief on never being able to earn money, the Villain Counterstrike System came knocking.

“Do you want to live again? Then follow the story and accept my missions.”

Xie Gu: "Move aside, System. You're in my way from earning money."

Xie “The New Villain” Gu: “Now, protagonists. Are you ready to face the CEO’s economic sanctions?” <<less

Jiang Luoluo clutched his strawberry ice cream and repeated his refusal three times: “I can’t! I don’t know how! He’ll probably kill me!”

Later on—

after being trapped deep inside the mansion by the tycoon with a dual personality, his slender ankle was firmly grasped by those bony fingers. They caressed it boldly as he said, “Baby, be good, and your husband will love you even more.”

The disciple, the black hearted Demon Lord went mad with jealousy, his pupils turning blood-red: “Why can’t Master’s eyes only look at me?”

The obsessive Alpha boss gently kissed the slightly bulging belly, his Adam’s apple rolling slightly as he asked, “My wife, three months in, it’s okay.”

The crazy school heartthrob kissed his wrist, his cool features tainted with morbid possessiveness. He chuckled softly, his voice husky, “Baby, your knife is crooked; you won’t be able to kill me.”

The cold and sentimental mixed-race movie star pushed him against the door, his voice slightly hoarse and overflowing with jealousy. “My wife, don’t love them, love me…”

After completing his tasks, Jiang Luoluo returned to the real world. The eleven villainous bosses surrounded him in a hot spring, closing in step by step, and softly coaxed him, “My wife, who do you love more, me or them?”

Experience extreme pampering! Massive indulgence! The kind that treats you like the apple of their eye!

University student Wei Shao unexpectedly transmigrated into a Zerg BL novel and became a rare species in Zerg society—a male zerg.... more>>

Then, he was picked up by the protagonist shou, who hates males.

Looking at General Philo's cold and unapproachable face, Wei Shao thought endless darkness awaited him. But to his shock—

1.

Philo: "Marry me, and all my wealth, reputation, and status will be yours."

Wei Shao: "......"

Bro, aren't you supposed to hate males?

Bro, aren't you the protagonist shou??

What's with this overbearing general falling in love with me scenario???

Wei Shao put on a soulless smile and politely declined: "General, I think every zerg should earn their own keep—how about we let this one slide?"

Later:

#The general cooks for me, and he's surprisingly good at it!#

#The general says I'm amazing, he's so sweet (blush)#

#The general doesn't like seeing me with other zergs—is he into me?#

#The general risked his life to protect me! He must like me!#

#The general smiled at me—he likes me! He loves me!#

#He's absolutely head over heels for me!#

#I... I like him too!#

……

#WTF, who’s this first love that looks just like me???#

#Cheating on me emotionally means swallowing a thousand needles!# (bursts into tears)

2.

Wei Shao’s eyes were red as he cornered Philo against the wall, radiating with rage: "You think of me as him, don’t you?"

Philo: "I didn’t—"

"How dare you lie to me!" Wei Shao interrupted with gritted teeth, his voice trembled with anger, his hands clenching and unclenching into fists. "You’re lucky I don’t hit my wife."

Philo was silent for a moment: "Is there a chance... you just couldn’t beat me anyway?"

"......" Wei Shao was on the verge of exploding. Damn it.

3.

Now a man of immense wealth and power, Wei Shao tightly embraced the general's waist and trapped him in his arms.

"Give me your heart, and my body, wealth, reputation, and status—everything—will be yours."

Philo stayed silent.

Wei Shao bit down on Philo’s neck, growling through gritted teeth, "You’re still hung up on that first love? Was he really that good?"

Cold, handsome, insanely strong, fishing general shou × seemingly naive but secretly possessive, ambitious gong who rises to challenges.

"I, Shen Miaomiao, reluctantly took over a game company at the start."... more>>

Fortunately, the rebate system awakened just in time. As long as the company incurred losses, the system would compensate me with ten times the amount!

So, the goal of this young CEO is to bring the company down! Financial freedom!

"I, Gu Sheng, transmigrated into a game designer at the start."

Fortunately, the Game Treasury System awakened, allowing me to climb to the throne of the Game King by creating hit games!

So, the goal of this Game Director is to expand and create brilliance once again!

...

When a laid-back CEO encounters a determined game designer, the company's direction gradually becomes abstract.

"You said no one plays mech games? What is this 'Titan's Fall' you created?"

"You said the horror game market is lacking? What's the deal with this 'Escape' game?"

"You said second-generation shooters are easy to lose money? Are you remaking 'Call of Duty'?"

As Shen Miaomiao looked at the profitable financial reports, her mind buzzed.

Not a single penny was lost, so she made up her mind!

"From now on, let's torture the players mercilessly!"

She couldn't believe that she couldn't lose this money!

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng unfolded a stack of game proposals in his hands.

“That s*ave over there. Can you give him to me?”... more>>

Because that s*ave is actually the male lead of this novel and the long lost son of a duke.

So, if you don’t want to be executed for abusing the male lead, just hand him over to me quietly.

To prevent a massacre ending and to collect the reward offered for the male lead, I risked my life to protect him.

I used him to escape from this miserable household and to fulfill the dreams I couldn’t achieve in my previous life.

“Thank you, Duke.”

When I exchanged the male lead for the reward, his face seemed stained with betrayal, but…

It doesn’t matter.

I made sure to keep a strict line between us so that the male lead wouldn’t catch the rampant male lead affliction: obsession.

So now I plan to run away from him!

Five years later.

I finally managed to open a ‘convenience store’ in this romance fantasy world, and it’s a huge success!

One day, a suspicious customer visited me.

“Welcome!”

Even I, who had the knight commander, the mercenary king, and a priest—who were all famous in the whole empire by the way—as regular customers in the capital, had to catch my breath at the beauty of this customer.

“Are you looking for something?”

“Right here.”

“Pardon?”

“She’s right in front of me.”

His gaze was fixed directly on me.

“I’m sorry, dear customer, but I’m not for sale….”

“Master.”

As I hurriedly bowed my head, I was startled by the familiar yet unfamiliar address from the customer’s mouth.

“You bought me, didn’t you? You must take responsibility to the very end. Like that time, when we shared a single blanket… and spent many nights together. Remember?”

…Wasn’t I supposed to be safe from the male lead’s obsession?

An indignant Zhu Xiang initially considered giving the child to someone else, but then he learned that the child’s name was Zheng, and his father was none other than Sun Yi, a noble from the Qin state. Zhu Xiang was bewildered. “My nephew is Ying Zheng? But my sister’s name isn’t Zhao Ji; it’s Chunhua!”

Determined not to let the future First Emperor disappear from history, Zhu Xiang decided to grit his teeth and tighten his belt to raise the young Emperor Qin. With a “ding,” the cultivation system came online, and he could exchange goodwill with historical figures for superior crops. Tears filled Zhu Xiang’s eyes as he kissed the young Emperor Qin on the forehead. “Truly worthy of being the Future First Emperor! You’re amazing! Just watch, your uncle will cultivate a vast empire for you!”

Many years later, Emperor Qin Shi Huang would still recall his childhood memories. His uncle held his small hand and walked through endless fields, pointing to the vast golden fields that stretched to the horizon. “Zheng, my nephew, your uncle has a dream – to plant superior crops across all the lands bathed in the sun and moonlight, so that everyone in the kingdom can have enough to eat.”

“Uncle, Zheng can conquer all the lands under the sun and moon and give them to you for farming, how does that sound?”

“Ah? Hahaha, that sounds great!” His uncle let out a hearty laugh, lifting him onto his shoulders. “Wherever Zheng’s kingdom expands, your uncle’s fields will follow.”

A large hands firmly holding onto the smaller one. “It’s a promise.”

After the heiress Mu Wan suddenly died from overworking, she thought it thorough and came to terms with her situation—let’s fully enjoy her second chance at life by indulging in food, drink, and leisure. To hell with work, scheming, and power struggles!... more>>

Then, because of her new carefree attitude, excessive indulgence, and idleness, her engagement was broken off.

Mu Wan: …

Then, out of the blue, an imperial edict came, arranging her marriage to the powerful but intimidating Marquis of Zhenbei—clearly intended as an insult to him.

Mu Wan: ???

Her reborn half-sister arrived, gloating: “So what if he’s tall, elegant, and handsome? Marquis Zhenbei is cold towards women, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. He killed the Empress Dowager and the puppet emperor to put his nephew’s on the throne, but he died on the battlefield later. Even if you don’t die, you’ll soon be widowed, my dear eldest sister.”

What Mu Wan heard amidst the unintelligent noises: Marquis of Zhenbei, put his nephew on the throne, and then died…

So, in a few years, she would inherit both an emperor nephew and all the Marquis’ wealth?

What a stroke of luck! She’s in!

***

Zhenbei Marquis Manor indeed needed a figurehead mistress, so Xie Heng made a strategical decision to marry the easily controlled daughter of a lowly merchant family. It was nothing more than a political move; he treated her as a convenient pet, like a house cat.

But to his surprise, this delicate little cat wasn’t one to be bullied. He couldn’t hit her, nor could he outsmart her in arguments.

Xie Heng began to suspect that she was out to annoy him to death.

One day, Mu Wan sighed: “The Chi Ling Tribe may be barbaric, but their gemstones are truly beautiful.”

Xie Heng, with a cold voice: “So you really wish for my death, don’t you?”

Mu Wan: ???

Later, Xie Heng led his troops to conquer the Chi Ling tribe and threw their royal family’s treasures at Mu Wan, sneering: “Sorry to disappoint you, but this Marquis will live a long life.”

Mu Wan: ???

That same day, Xie Heng lay in bed, flushed and gritting his teeth: “This Marquis will die at your hands sooner or later!”

Mu Wan: …

It was just a simple wound stitching. There’s no need to make it sound so suggestive—her medical skills are great, okay?

Everyone said Marquis Zhenbei Xie Heng was ruthless and cold, and the people he despised the most were those cowards who indulged in pleasures. Yet, when death loomed over him, his first thought was: If he died, who would bring home the tribute fruits for that house cat? Would she be bullied? Who would take good care of her?

He realized then that he must survive, so he could protect her, ensuring she would live a long life, filled with prosperity.

After a dangerous encounter in the mountains, he was rescued by Lu Dongqing, who happened to be there as well. Though the man looked fierce, Qiao Suiman soon realized he was actually kind-hearted.

Later, when they ended up selling goods at the same market, Qiao Suiman discovered Lu Dongqing’s exceptional bamboo craftsmanship. His carved bamboo cups were even more beautiful than those sold in town shops.

Qiao Suiman’s eyes lit up. Special bamboo cups paired with my homemade fragrant drinks? This is a golden opportunity right in front of us!

So he took the initiative to propose a partnership. Sure enough, their bamboo cup fragrant drinks wasn’t just delicious—it was visually stunning. Even the county magistrate praised them, earning them a loyal customer base. Soon, their drinks became the hottest novelty in Shuiqing Town.

Perilla drinks, peach blossom drinks, osmanthus drinks… The business boomed. Along the way, Lu Dongqing’s heart became completely devoted to Qiao Suiman… though the oblivious Qiao Suiman remained unaware.

Qiao Suiman was stunned. “I thought we were just business partners, but you want to marry me?!”

Lu Dongqing sighed inwardly. What to do when your beloved is this dense?

Chi Xiting: "Okay, so this is how it is. After living half a life, I return as a newbie again."

With the memory of his death in his previous life still fresh, Chi Xiting decided this time to resist the grind and live as an ordinary office worker. After all, work is about relaxation.

But too much relaxation wasn’t ideal... especially for his boss.

Chu Yu pushed up his glasses, giving Chi Xiting a faint smile. He glanced at Chi Xiting, then at the driver who was too distracted talking to Chi Xiting to notice he hadn’t gotten in the car. In a low voice, he replied, "I'm busy with a stock transfer agreement."

“Come with me.”

Yu Le asked, “Don’t you have any blankets in the rooms here?”

Synopsis:... more>>

Shu Qingwan and Rong Yin once shared a past.

But she knew the gap between them was too wide, and there could be no happy ending.

When rumors spread that his first love had returned to the country, she let go and walked away.

After returning to China, as a highly popular inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, it was revealed that she was the star of the viral cheongsam video from years ago.

With her jade-like grace and delicate waist, exuding both elegance and allure, Shu Qingwan’s popularity skyrocketed.

During an interview, when asked about her past relationship, she didn’t avoid the topic, simply smiling and saying, "He taught me to let go of obsession and understand the impermanence of life."

That day, he was there in person, watching her speak every word.

She had stayed by his side for many years.

But what he had truly taught her was to embrace desire, to crave deeply.

Synopsis 2:

Shu Qingwan was the long-lost daughter of the Lin family. After being found, her parents, feeling deeply indebted to her, treated her like a precious treasure.

Seeing their son go from one relationship to another while their daughter remained single, they arranged a blind date for her.

The suitor, having passed her parents’ scrutiny, was naturally exceptional.

She thought there was no harm in giving it a try.

But just as she made up her mind, Rong Yin suddenly appeared, saying to her, "Long time no see."

The man, noble and aloof yet radiating an overwhelming presence, disrupted the scene, revealing his possessive and domineering nature in that moment.

The rose he had nurtured with his own hands could only bloom for him.

【Mini Theater】

Rong Yin was famously known for his ascetic and cold demeanor. He owned a secluded mountain villa where he would often stay for months at a time, as his friends well knew.

But suddenly, rumors began to spread that his mountain villa held a secret.

He wasn’t there to cultivate his mind—he was hiding his beloved white moonlight!

As the rumors grew, his friends became increasingly curious and finally decided to investigate while he was away.

The plan went smoothly, and they successfully infiltrated the villa.

What they didn’t expect was that their nighttime exploration wouldn’t uncover a white moonlight, but rather someone who had mysteriously disappeared for days—

Seeing the figure in a flowing dress running downstairs barefoot, someone exclaimed in shock, "Qingwan?!"

Rong Yin had seen her at her most devoted, loving him deeply.

He had also seen her indifference when she said, "Mr. Rong, I will always have to marry someday."

"I saw flames rise from a lonely mountain."

Later.

She became his unconditional love.
