A research genius, indifferent mad dog gong and a highly influential and stunning beauty shou... more>>

At his older brother’s funeral, Xie Hou encountered the male “widow.”

On a silent, rainy night, Shen Cizhu was surrounded by a group of dignitaries and led into the cemetery. He stopped in front of Xie Hou, lifting his umbrella, revealing the green eyes deeply etched in Xie Hou’s memory.

It seemed like he had been crying, and his striking beauty had become fragile as a result.

“Condolences,” Xie Hou said in a soft voice.

“Thank you,” Shen Cizhu replied hoarsely.

At the funeral, they pretended not to know each other, as if the night of their reckless passion had never happened.

After the crowd dispersed, the cemetery was cold.

Xie Hou looked down at Shen Cizhu, who was still kneeling in front of the tombstone. He leaned over, holding Shen Cizhu’s chin to make him look up. “Ge ge is gone. What will you do now?”

Shen Cizhu suddenly looked up.

“In that case,” Xie Hou, with an appearance of purity and coldness, murmured like an adulterer, “please let me replace Ge ge and inherit you.”

Shen Cizhu was adored by everyone.

In the eyes of others, Shen Cizhu was a noble son from a top-tier family, appearing compassionate and gentle, like the most sacred apple in the Garden of Eden.

But it was all a façade, and only Xie Hou knew his true nature.

The real Shen Cizhu had a destructive personality. He was gorgeous, arrogant, and greedy, harboring a permanent desire for control and possession over others. He was the most cunning and venomous snake in the Garden of Eden.

A venomous snake would never see itself as cruel; it would only follow its predatory instincts to ensnare its prey with a seductive whisper, and in an instant, its fangs would pierce the prey’s throat.

This predatory game was dangerous and rewarding for Xie Hou.

“My dear, it was clearly me who dragged you into hell, so why do you see me as your savior?”

Hormones can trigger the human instinct to seek a partner, but will your genes accept your partner?

Xie Hou had been conducting this research all along.

However, when everything seemed settled, it all collapsed with the arrival of Shen Cizhu.

He defied the warnings of his genes and fell in love with Shen Cizhu.

But at that time, Shen Cizhu was still his brother’s lover.

[I will devour all of him with blood and gore, but before that, I beg him to respond to my affection.]

"University Professor x Beautiful Forensic Doctor... more>>

 Often gentle, occasionally assertive top x a dedicated career lover who is slightly insecure bottom.

 Shen Xun was arranged for another blind date. Before the date, Shen's mother repeatedly advised him, 'Don't scare your date away by saying you're a forensic doctor the moment you meet. First, tell them you're a civil servant, someone within the system. Remember that.' 

On the day of the blind date, a handsome man arrived. From his looks to his fashion, he perfectly met Shen Xun's aesthetic standards. So Shen Xun went blank and said, 'I'm a forensic doctor within the system.' ... Oops, he messed up.

 But unexpectedly, the handsome man smiled and said, 'Actually, I'm a university professor of law. In our professions, we both have the word "law" in common.' 

Shen Xun felt like he and Meng Yuan Cen were from two different worlds. Meng Yuan Cen was clean, had a respectable job, didn't need to deal with corpses that were bloody, decaying, and smelly every day, and didn't have a partner on standby 24/7 during his time off.

 However, Meng Yuan Cen believed that he and Shen Xun saw two sides of the same world. It was only after they got together that they discovered the whole world.

An Luo’s life took an unexpected turn when he found himself reborn as the young master of a prominent business family after a disastrous accident. Despite being his grandfather’s favorite grandson, he quickly realized that he was nothing more than a pawn in his brothers’ ruthless struggle for power within the family empire. ... more>>

However, what truly terrified him were the enchanting but unsettling emotions that flickered in his younger brother’s eyes whenever he looked at him. Overwhelmed by these conflicting feelings, An Luo couldn’t help but wonder if he was condemned to be trapped in the never-ending cycle of “brotherly love.”

An Luo’s brows furrowed deeply as he contemplated his predicament. The weight of his brother’s gaze bore down on him, making him feel both unsettled and apprehensive. With a surge of anger coursing through his veins, he couldn’t help but question, in frustration, whether he was fated to be eternally trapped in this cruel pattern of love between siblings.

Suddenly, a figure materialized from the shadows, a mischievous smile playing on their lips. Startled, An Luo was caught off guard. It was as if this person had been there all along, listening to his inner thoughts. Caught in the act, An Luo hastily dismissed the words that had nearly slipped past his lips and replied quietly, “No… It was nothing.” <<less

When he woke up, Wen Chi transmigrated into a book.... more>>

In the book, the protagonist accidentally obtained a system, and with the help of the system, he pretended to be sick and escaped his engagement with the disabled Crown Prince. Then, at the peach blossom banquet, he demonstrated his extraordinary talent and attracted the attention of the fourth prince…

Finally, everything went well between the protagonist shou and the fourth prince and they fell in love very deeply. The fourth prince overthrew the rule of the previous emperors and became a model royal husband.

However…….

Wen Chi transmigrated and became the cannon fodder brother of the protagonist shou, and he was the one who was forced to replace the protagonist to marry the disabled Crown Prince.

It was rumored that the disabled Crown Prince was burned by fire five years ago. Not only was his face disfigured, but his legs also ended up being disabled. He lived deep in the Eastern Palace and stayed behind closed doors all year round. He had a very strange temper.

Only Wen Chi knew that the disabled Crown Prince would still become the emperor and became a famous tyrant in history. Unfortunately, he was later killed by the fourth prince for being too cruel. Even the cannon fodder, he was not spared, and he ended up tragically.

On the wedding night, the disabled Crown Prince grabbed Wen Chi’s chin. He sneered: “Here comes another one who wants to step on me to climb up.”

Wen Chi in silent tears: “No, no, no. I’m only sitting around waiting to die.”

The disabled Crown Prince: “???” <<less

Outsiders all say that Xie Zhongxing had hit the jackpot marrying the prince of the Qin Enterprise, Qin Zhongyue, even being treasured and favoured for five whole years. They were well-recognized as a loving couple.... more>>

However, they didn’t know that Qin Zhongyue had a lot of dissatisfaction with this marriage. He complained to his good friend, “He micromanages everything. Won’t let me drink or smoke, won’t let me go clubbing, and he even set me a 10pm curfew!”

“I have to hand over all my salary and bank cards and he would only give me a hundred yuan a day! Only if he is in a good mood, he would give me a few hundred more!”

Qin Zhongyue felt angry and wronged, “And I even have to wait on him!”

“If I ever get the chance to do this again, I will never marry him! I used to get eight million yuan a month as spending money!” The prince said this to his friend.

The day after he said this, Qin Zhongyue found himself reborn to the time when he was seventeen.

The Xie Zhongxing at this time was eighteen years old and poor to the point where he only had one set of old clothes to wear, holes in his socks and a pair of dirty shoes with its soles peeling off. Even if he had a nice-looking face, he was despised and looked down upon, and known in the school as a pauper.

When Xie Zhongxing’s parents came to handle the withdrawal procedures for him, Qin Zhongyue only then found out that he was a study tyrant ranked first in his grade, receiving scholarships every year, and that he was a seedling with good prospects the school had high expectations for and not the ‘useless high school dropout who didn’t like to study and only has money in his eyes’ as claimed by his younger brother.

Qin Zhongyue couldn’t bear the sight of this. He pulled Xie Zhongxing into his arms, angry, “Continue studying! Our Qin family has never had a top scorer before, you must keep studying!”

Xie Zhongxing raised his eyes and looked at him in confusion. The look in his eyes seemed to ask: Who are you?

Qin Zhongyue thought of Xie Zhongxing’s dictatorship after their marriage and shuddered. He then maintained a look of righteousness, “I am just a kind-hearted person who does not wish to reveal his name!”

Later, Qin Zhongyue asked Xie Zhongxing shyly, “If we get married, can you give me a thousand yuan a day as spending money?”

Xie Zhongxing, “?”

Qin Zhongyue, “…..Five hundred is also okay.”

Everyone knows that the popular entertainer Song Linchuan is crazy about his little aunt. Since the beginning of his career, he has mentioned her on various occasions.... more>>

During an interview with a reporter, he was asked, "What kind of girl do you find most adorable?"

He replied, "Someone like my little aunt."

The reporter was puzzled.

During a fan visit, someone asked him, "What are your plans after filming this drama?"

He replied, "I'm going back to see my little aunt."

The fans were confused.

As people across the internet were curious about Song Linchuan's mysterious little aunt, he brought her on a lifestyle variety show. When she appeared on camera, everyone was shocked to see that she was just a pretty girl in her late teens.

On the show, the young girl had an old-fashioned way of speaking and manners, despite her young age.

When Song Linchuan was too busy to eat on time, she said sternly, "Your body is your most valuable asset. Don't neglect to eat on time, or you'll get stomach problems!"

When he stayed up late playing games, she scolded him, "Young people should enjoy their games in moderation. Staying up late is not good for your health!"

The netizens teased Song Linchuan, but they also agreed with his little aunt's advice.

At a fashion magazine photo shoot, Song Linchuan's shirt collar was a bit low. The young girl approached him and said seriously, "As a boy, how can you dress so revealingly?"

The netizens laughed and said, "Haha, his little aunt is correcting him on how to be a man!"

Meanwhile, another popular entertainer, Pei Kuang, visited Song Linchuan's house while he was filming a lifestyle show. As soon as he entered, Song Linchuan pulled him over to meet his little aunt.

Song Linchuan said, "Pei Kuang, this is my dear little aunt. Don't just stand there, she's your little aunt too. Call her!"

Pei Kuang was speechless.

A few years later, paparazzi caught Pei Kuang walking with a girl who looked like Song Linchuan's little aunt, Song Anan. They looked intimately close, and everyone online called out to Song Linchuan, "Look, your good friend is about to become your little uncle!"

At that time, Song Linchuan was in the middle of filming in the deep mountains and had no idea what was happening.
