Jing Li failed to succeed in the tribulation and transmigrated into a novel with a scumbag gong and cheap shou.... more>>

In the novel, the scumbag gong is a typical phoenix man who climbed onto the rich young master for his future, only to turn around and pursue his true love, the white moonlight. After seizing the young master's family fortune, he dumped him and got together with the white moonlight.

And Jing Li happens to be the young master who got dumped, and he is immediately confronted with a scene of catching his lover in the act of cheating.

At that moment, the scumbag gong protects the white moonlight with one hand while sorrowfully shouting at him, “You don’t trust me? If that's the case, we might as well break up!”

Jing Li watches the show and readily responds, “Good! As you wish.”

He then proceeds to retract all the resources he had given to the other party.

Not only that, but afterward, every time the scumbag gong comes to entangle him, he inexplicably starts having bad luck: either he chips a tooth or sprains his foot when going out, or even just drinking cold water would choke him into directly landing in the hospital…

Shen Yourong, as the eldest daughter of the Duke’s household, engraved the word “propriety” into her bones. Her words and actions never faltered. She neither harbored secret affections at a young age, nor engaged in the childhood antics of love-hate relationships. Moreover, she never encountered any strange encounters while traveling, smoothly embodying the epitome of a noblewoman.... more>>

The only hiccup in her otherwise flawless life was her marriage, which didn’t go smoothly. Despite discussing marriage with her nephew, she ended up marrying her uncle, which was quite embarrassing.

The Emperor, advancing in age, favored the fourth prince, Ji Chengyao, for the heir position. The fourth prince’s foster mother, Lady Shu Fei, hinted at a marriage alliance between Shen Yourong’s maternal family, the Duke of Qi’s household, and the fourth prince. Both overtly and covertly, they suggested that Shen Yourong should befriend the fourth prince.

Ji Zhuo always felt that Shen Yourong, this so-called model noblewoman, was not as genuine as she appeared. A noblewoman who seemed diligent and earnest shouldn’t be casually snacking on melon seeds while watching the fourth prince flirt with other girls, as her family tried to curry favor with him. <<less

Bai Lixin was caught in a strange game.... more>>

[Ding! Welcome players to the immersive escape game.]
[Ding! Let’s begin the luck detection. The luck will be linked to the player’s copy selection.]
As the other players’ tests were A,B,B..the detection system slowly pulsed on Bai liXin’s head.

[Ding! Congratulations player; your luck is F-, and the universe deems you unlucky!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the player. You have obtained the special title – “God of Bad Luck” (unique).]
Bai Lixin: “???”

Congratulations? Where’s the joy in that?

Soon after, the players trapped in the escape game found that there was an incredibly beautiful but tragic player in the game.

The face is unbelievable, the strength is unbeatable, but the luck is so bad that the copy he gets either has a bug or is a horror S level.

Just when everyone thought that the little beauty would certainly die, he broke through countless levels and embarked on the road to immortality.

Bai Lixin, the full-level boss, mistakenly strayed into a strange game to find his husband.

Later, he found that his old attacker had become all kinds of bosses in the copy and these big bosses were most often not human.

A water body, the true ancestor of the vampire clan, an undead knight, a dragon….

Well, he had to admit that each had its own advantages <<less

Immediately after Gu Changge realized he had transgressed into a fantasy world, the world’s protagonist, and fortune’s chosen, vowed to take revenge on him. Envied by all, he not only has the female lead head over heels for him but he’s also treated as a distinguished guest wherever he goes.

Lan Chang’an has gone through two lifetimes of reincarnations, and in the third life, he aimed for stability until reaching the Nascent Soul realm in hopes of unraveling the mystery of the Nine Seal Stele. Consequently, he cultivated the Ancient Trees Evergreen Technique, which wielded modest power in return for greater lifespan.... more>>

His approach is not one of fearlessly engaging in battles, but of navigating with steady precision and forging meaningful bonds with others.

Throughout his long cultivation journey, he encountered individuals at various stages of their cultivation, including a Decent Faction Head, a Prodigious Beauty, a Giant Demon Lord, an Evil Cultivator, a Thousand-Year Old Demon, and a Puppet Master Pulling Strings From Behind The Scene.

Observing the ebb and flow of the world, witnessing its ups and downs, he unknowingly became a living fossil in the realm of cultivation, akin to an evergreen tree spanning through eternity.

In the world of mortals, the flow of life is steady, shrouded in the illusion of longevity, yet decisions are made decisively, with a clear sense of morality. <<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.

She's...

Shen Jie found himself in the body of a passerby in a post-apocalyptic novel. The passerby was an ordinary person without any superpowers, just a low-level employee at the research institute. Besides conducting experiments, his usual role was to liven up the atmosphere by clapping and shouting “666”.... more>>

Shen Jie was quite satisfied with this new identity and even found a suitable partner along the way. Although his partner often went on business trips and was taciturn, he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, capable of doing half a month’s work in a day. With this new life, Shen Jie felt content and happy every day.

After living an ordinary life for seven years, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind: “Do you want to change the fate of a cannon fodder, experience an extraordinary life? Do you want to find the meaning of life, save the broken world? The Cannon Fodder Reversal System is at your service!” “I don’t want to,” Shen Jie replied without hesitation.

The system felt depressed. It had accidentally come online seven years late, only to find its bound host wanting to live a simple life with his partner, ignoring the impending doom of the world. Even as the world was on the brink of destruction, they were still in love—

Until one day, the system discovered a secret. The soul of the host it was bound to seemed to be the culprit behind the world’s destruction.

…Help, host, please just remain an ordinary person!

Many people in the Center of Abilities knew that Zong Lin had a beloved person he cherished dearly. This cold and taciturn human, one of the strongest superpower users, after piercing the hearts of the aliens with his spear every time, would take out the pocket watch his lover gave him and kiss it gently with his deformed hands. It was like a deep prayer, as if he were willingly trapping himself in a tender prison of love.

Rumors had it that Zong Lin’s beloved was just an ordinary person with no strength to speak of, except for a pretty face. One day, Zong Lin’s beloved was abducted by an SSS-level alien. Zong Lin went berserk, leading a group of people into the alien’s nest. There, they saw Zong Lin’s beloved holding a knife to the alien’s neck, smiling sweetly: “Two choices. One, you extend your neck for me to stab. Two, I push the knife in. Which one will you choose?” <<less
