The boundless universe was filled with all sorts of wonders.... more>>

I, Chen *Ping'an, only have one sword, to move mountains, turn the seas upside down, suppress demons, deal with gods, pluck stars, break rivers, destroy cities, and open the heavenly abode!

My name is Chen Ping'an, Ping'an* of Peace, and I am a swordsman.

The Midland world was full of wonders.

In the center of the world, there was a scholar who had once used a sword to slash out a waterfall of the Milky Way. This was the person he was the most proud of.

At the edge of the East Sea’s cliffs, there was a nameless Daoist who was unwilling to ascend to the peak of a mountain. He only wished for a cool breeze to brush against his face.

In the Western Pure Land, there was an old monk who liked to treat people to chicken soup and tell stories.

In the southern border of the Wilderness, there was a blind painter who controlled golden-armored puppets that were as tall as mountains to move the hundred thousand mountains, creating an embroidered picture.

An impoverished youth who grew up in the north. One day, he saw tens of thousands of Sword Kinesis Immortals above him, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.

He wanted to see for himself the scholar that the storyteller had mentioned, the surging tides of the East Sea, the vast swamps of sand in the west, and the majestic mountains of the Southern Wasteland.

Thus, one day, the youth picked up the wooden sword and began to descend south.

Notes:

* Ping'an means peace

It was something that happened while I was waiting for the day of the primary school entrance exam. I realised that I had become one of the characters of a shoujo manga that I loved reading in my old life, ‘You Are My Dolce’.... more>>

The role I was assigned was a character who bullied the commoner protagonist and tried to get in the way of her love with a rich boy nicknamed Emperor; a typical villainess rich girl, Kisshouin Reika.

At the end of the story, Reika suffered the Emperor’s retribution and even her family fell into ruin. With the villain gone, the protagonist and the Emperor overcame their trials and became a couple. And they lived happily ever after.

Wait, that’s terrible for meee! The manga ended there, but I have to continue living my life after my family is ruined!

The protagonist can enjoy her romance or love or whatever on her own. I’ll erase my presence so that I don’t anger the Emperor.

Eh-? The story isn’t progressing well because there’s no villain, you say? But I’m busy saving up money and studying so that I can live well after the collapse. <<less

Song Yu has three requirements for Yue Zhishi:... more>>

– You cannot call me gege in public.

– We won’t do anything together in public.

– You cannot let other people know you live with me.

Yue Zhishi has always been obediently following these rules. They were practically strangers at school. At the opening ceremony, he suddenly collapsed due to an allergy-related asthma attack, sending everything into chaos. At this moment, the student representative Song Yu suddenly stopped speaking…….

That night, a hot post appeared on the school forum.

【Shock!! Our junior high school department male idol and our senior high school department male idol are actually ‘brothers’!】

—————

Ever since his father brought back a mixed-race baby when he was six years old, Song Yu’s life has been completely entangled by this clingy little guy who couldn’t speak Chinese well.

Le Le who was in kindergarten: Xiao Yu gege, my classmate said today that he has a beautiful sister-in-law. What is a sister in law?
Song Yu: His older brother’s wife.
Le Le: No! I don’t want a sister-in-law!
Song Yu: ……
Le Le: I’ll be your sister-in-law! (Something isn’t quite right…….)
Song Yu: Please study up on Chinese familial relationships.
Le Le: Wait, wait. I’ll be my sister-in-law!
Song Yu: ……

Mouth says one thing but body does another, cat-like gong x mixed-race, obedient and straightforward puppy-like shou.

1. Childhood sweethearts with older gong. Slice of life (with some twists and turns), with a lot of scenes involving eating. Those who like fast-paced stories, be cautious.
2. Shou is in third year of junior high at the start of the story. There is no blood or legal relationship between the shou and the gong. Remember, they’re not under the same household registration book.
3. Gong spoils and dotes on shou. Very strong double sided arrow, essentially younger brother complex x older brother complex.
4. Cute shou, not strong shou.
5. There is a wlw side couple, not much scenes.
6. Please don’t read if you can’t take even a little bit of unexpected events. This is not solely a sweet fluffy novel.

CWs: light PTSD, talk of su*cide/self-harm, talk of death/dying, h*mophobia (from side characters). Please do not read if these make you uncomfortable. <<less

Luo Zhiyu and Xiao Yan, both presenting in the middle of a gang fight, are carried to the hospital one after the other. One becomes an omega, and one becomes an alpha. ... more>>

Probably because the two were in the middle of an intense brawl at the time of presenting, their pheromone compatibility is an historically unprecedented 0%.

Other than sometimes fighting and getting on bad terms every time they meet, these two people put together are definitely safe — to the point that when there are not enough hotel rooms on a school trip, teachers put them in the same room.

Teachers: Anyone has the potential to date in high school, but these two definitely have no chance!

The principal catches an alpha and an omega walking on the side path in the evening, supposedly dating —

Students: There is no way, those two are definitely innocent!

Everyone, including Luo Zhiyu himself, thinks that there is no way between them.

And then one day, Luo Zhiyu gets permanently marked by Xiao Yan.

Luo Zhiyu: ? No, the pheromones say we are not compatible, we must believe in science.

Xiao Yan pulls out the new compatibility report, dropping it in front of Luo Zhiyu: Enough nonsense, go steal your hukou identification so we can get married.

As Luo Zhiyu attends his high school’s first year military training, under the scorching sun, second-year Xiao Yan sits in front of their squad drinking iced water and eating watermelon.

Luo Zhiyu picks up a stick and swings it at Xiao Yan for two whole blocks.

Guomen, 過門/过门, meaning marriage in Chinese. If explained literally, it means going past the gates/door-a reference to the Bible(see above).

“Through the Strait Gates”: to me, it’s the best way to explain it.

Ye Muo found himself transmigrated into an interstellar world, becoming the illegitimate son of one of the Empire’s minor noble families.

However, during a highly anticipated battle simulation among the military academies, Ye Muo astounded all the onlookers by achieving psychic power resonance with none other than the Emperor himself, seated high upon the judging platform.

Norton Grantz was thus referred to as The Last Grantz.

Zhao Mian, the Prince of Nanjing, had an encounter with a stranger while he was on a secret incognito visit. Both of them were simultaneously poisoned, and the poison would be released every month on the night of the full moon. ... more>>

They had to engage in a deep conversation in order to survive.

The Crown Prince, who was powerful, handsome, and splendid, stared at the unremarkable face of the stranger, and through gritted teeth, he declared, "I can be killed by my elders, but I will not be humiliated."

The stranger was perplexed and asked, "I have no issue with you being proud, but why are you pointing a sword at me?"

Zhao Mian sneered and replied, "I would rather kill you than suffer humiliation."

The stranger tried to calm the situation and suggested, "Let's not get agitated. We can talk after I remove my disguise."

When the stranger took off their disguise, they were no longer a mere passerby, which alleviated Zhao Mian's anger to some extent. Despite their reluctance, both of them cursed and engaged in a profound conversation before the release of the poison.

Later, when Zhao Mian ascended the throne, a neighboring country sent Ambassador Wei Zhenfeng to congratulate him.

In the grand hall, Wei Zhenfeng's eyes sparkled under the clear moonlight as he greeted, "Your Majesty, I hope you are in good health."

Zhao Mian absentmindedly touched his slightly swollen belly and fell into deep contemplation.

During the full moon feast for the eldest prince, Wei Zhenfeng arrived uninvited, seething with anger, yet still maintaining a smile.

He exclaimed, "I returned home for a brief period, and Your Majesty already has a child? Your betrayal truly caught me off guard."

Zhao Mian responded disdainfully, "Everyone in this world belongs to me. How can I be confined to one person? Someone, remove this ungrateful man from Beiyuan."
