He had four disobedient disciples, who now achieved success, won recognition and established their own sects.... more>>

The embarrassing thing is that it was him who drove those four out of his sect to make them independent.

But one day he had an incident and lost his cultivation. His life was hanging by a thread. Wandering around, he walked into his third disciple’s territory.

What should I do?

Mountains and seas can be tamed, days and nights can disappear.

Only you, the exceptional you, refuse to give up.

——

A man blessed with fortune, the best in his generation, had an accident and started anew; broken in body but firm in spirit, he now uses his wisdom to guide his evil disciples back to the right path.

He Bai won the lottery, became rich, and reached the pinnacle of life. Then, he inadvertently took a picture of the Film Emperor Di Qiuhe being killed. And after reporting this case to the police, he was reborn in a midst of confusion.... more>>

He Bai: I don’t have any horrible relatives to abuse. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I do.

He Bai: I also haven’t been betrayed or harmed by anyone. Why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: But I have.

He Bai: I just want to have some money to live freely and eat well. I already achieved that goal, so why was I reborn?

Di Qiuhe: I have money, but don’t live freely or well.

He Bai angrily flips the table: So what’s the use of my rebirth! Just to make me suffer again?!

Nurse Bai Yan and Mayor’s assistant Kang Jian suddenly got married, but they realized that this was not a Cinderella and Prince storyline. He already had a lover in his arms, and there were political enemies watching from behind. Her mother-in-law regarded her as a thorn in her eye, while her father-in-law and her mother were old acquaintances. It was all very confusing. ... more>>

Later, Bai Yan stated: if you are a sparrow that accidentally becomes a phoenix, don’t take it too seriously, it’s just a legend.

One flower that never withers, one that stays fresh throughout the seasons in the river of time, one that shines in your purest years with its youth and beauty, and one that you remember with a gentle smile even as you age gracefully.

We’ve all had beautiful first loves.

There is always a most cherished memory hidden in our hearts.

Love is elusive, but marriage is very realistic.

Love is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families.

There are always various reasons why two people in love may not necessarily walk down the aisle together.

What should you do if you cannot marry the person you love?

After Kang Jian and Bai Yan broke up, their lives went through many ups and downs. The road of love was long and uncertain, and the hand of fate was unpredictable. Where would their love end up? Would they forget each other in the world or stay together through thick and thin?

Do you have a paper rose in your heart?

“Arrogant Prince. You’re not the only one who can toy with others.”... more>>

Valentia Syner, the greatest mind in all of the Imperial Academy’s history.

Her fellows at the academy called her “The Iron Maiden”. Some did it out of jealousy. Others, out of contempt. But no one ever approached Valentia. Even her own family avoided her.

The first person to ever reach out to Valentia was the playboy of the Imperial family—the Prince, Lexus.

“Who dares to slap the Imperial Prince?”

Their first meeting went terribly. They exchanged awful words and there was even a slap involved. But over time, the two of them became very close.

However, Valentia discovered a terrible truth just before she was about to confess something to Lexus—she was pregnant with his child.

Valentia had to run away to protect herself.

And then a few years passed.

“Did he just say you were his mom?”

That awful man, Lexus appeared once more before Valentia, who was living a quiet life with her lovely son, Elijah. <<less

For eight years, Ye Fei and Gu Ang, two alphas who raised their ranks in the military, were lovers and did everything together. But then, soon after their marriage, Gu Ang asked for divorce.... more>>

Unsure of the reasons why, Ye Fei became heartbroken.

Unknown to the two of them, they woke up soon after their divorce eight years in the past; back when they were freshman; back before they ever met; back before they loved one another.

Although the two of them have different views on being reborn, the main question is whether or not this world they were reborn in was exactly the same as their old world or not. Had they created a butterfly effect? Could they save the ones they had lost in those eight years? Were they still going to end up together?

Soon they would learn that not everything was the same…. Something was entirely different than their old world… And that was Gu Ang’s secondary gender. He was now, unknowingly, an omega. <<less

We’ve been married for three years, and I didn’t like her at first. She is so cute, only cold and hard to approach on the surface.

The rebellious, rich second-generation Chi Xueyan was forced to go on a blind date for the 11th time. He cut straight to the chase: I have a hot temper, I snore when I sleep, and I haven’t deleted my countless exes. If you can accept it, we will get the marriage certificate on the spot.... more>>

The handsome man named He Qiao sat opposite him and was silent for a moment with a strange expression. Then he nodded and said he was a book transmigrator. He knew that Chi Xueyan was the supporting male villain in this novel role and would become the future marriage partner of the protagonist Lu Siyi. He gradually lost himself in an increasingly paranoid unrequited love, did all sorts of bad things and eventually died.

He Qiao couldn’t bear to see Chi Xueyan, who was still active and healthy, end up like that. Therefore, he proposed to marry Chi Xueyan to avoid the plot. In any case, he was a workaholic straight man who only wanted to use the information from the novel to develop his career for the benefit of the public.

Chi Xueyan heard this and suddenly realized: Use advance as a retreat and use the typical schizophrenic symptoms to scare off blind dates. This person was an expert.

He decisively remembered this trick and waved his hand to pay the bill as his token of appreciation.

Soon, Chi Xueyan ran into a handsome man who completely matched his aesthetics. Moreover, he didn’t hesitate to take the initiative to ask for the other person’s name and contact information.

As a result, the handsome man replied with an indifferent expression, “I am Lu Siyi.”

Chi Xueyan: “……!!!”

This name was too familiar.

Two weeks later, under the gazes of his relatives and friends, Chi Xueyan affectionately exchanged rings and kisses with his 11th blind date and the mysterious book transmigrator, He Qiao.

Initially, He Qiao was very wary of Chi Xueyan, the scheming and vicious villain of the novel. After the two of them cooperated to pretend to love each other and tricked their families into allowing them to get married smoothly, he planned to focus on his career and not interfere with the other person.

However, Chi Xueyan finally settled down from the chaos and started seriously studying the novel’s plot. He would occasionally come to the company to find He Qiao.

Unlike the arrogant and willful boss' wife that the employees imagined, Chi Xueyan mostly curled up on the sofa with a small blanket while quietly reflecting on his 2D life.

Occasionally, he would raise his head and ask, “Did Lu Siyi never like me at all?”

“…Yes.”

“He has no vision.” Chi Xueyan sneered and rolled over. “How did he become the male protagonist when you are obviously much better than him!”

He Qiao didn’t know why, but the investment plan in his hand suddenly became unsatisfactory.

What a scheming villain.

On the first anniversary of their agreed-upon wedding, He Qiao arranged the most romantic dinner and the brightest roses. He met Chi Xueyan’s blank eyes and finally asked the question he had been worrying about in his heart for a long time.

“You have a good temper and you sleep very quietly so…” He Qiao seemed casual. “Is it true that you haven’t deleted any of your exes?”

Chi Xueyan: “……”

What a scheming straight man. <<less

The Grand Duchy of Hessenguard lost its master. ... more>>

The two kingdoms, that were vying with one another for the dukedom, agreed to send their respective candidates from the royal family to marry and make their successor the heir of the duchy.

And so, Erna and Kalion arrive at Hessenguard to wed.

But, their initial impression of each other was extremely terrible.

“What, this pumpkin?”

“Oh my, he looks like a dried earthworm.”

Thus a marriage started just like that from the beginning with a horrible impression of one another.

They showed their teeth to each other for more than a decade, but lived together steadfastly for the sake of the Grand duchy.

Later, one day, a letter was sent for them.

‘You will have a successor within one year.’

After 10 years of marriage without any children, both nations raised the issue.

They said that if they don’t have children within a year, they’ll bring them back home.

But she wanted to climb from the slope to the top of the mountain, stand beside him, face hardships, troubles and pain with him, and witness the beauty of this city with him.

“Lize is trying to make her child be the First Prince,” he told me.

“Let’s get a divorce.”

I decided to abandon him.

“What?”

Raymond’s eyes shook violently as if he didn’t understand my words. His agitation, seen for the first time, for some reason made me feel relieved.

I opened my lips to him again with a soft smile: “I want to leave you. So Raymond, let’s stop now. Divorce me.”

It was the end of a long unrequited love. <<less

Yang Lei turned around. The moment he turned, with the sound of the wind, a brick smashed onto Yang Lei’s head. Yang Lei wasn’t even aware of when someone had gotten close from behind.... more>>

Fresh blood flowed down from his forehead, blurring his eyes. Through the spray of blood, Yang Lei saw a person. A tall and thin, clean man, expressionlessly smashing a second brick onto Yang Lei’s face.

A long time later Yang Lei recalled, what had left the deepest impression in his mind was that white dress shirt on the other person’s body. That white dress shirt was dazzling, white as snow, spotlessly clean; very few fighters dressed so cleanly. That white dress shirt was quickly dyed red with blood, Yang Lei’s blood.

They were gold class fighters, number one warriors of two crime bosses. They had experienced countless fierce battles, establishing their status in Jianghu. From rivals to friends, to brothers who would live together and die together.

What was a brother? Many years later, you say the word, my life, I give to you.

On the day Wen Yu found out her celebrity boyfriend had cheated on her, her family was also in danger of going bankrupt. That scummy ex of hers didn’t even feel any guilt. First, he cheated, then he mocked Wen Yu, declaring that he was no longer the poor man he had used to be. And thus, her status fell from a phoenix to a pheasant.... more>>

Wen Yu couldn’t take this insult.

After her break-up, she was accidentally hit by a car.

When she woke up, in front of her stood a man feared by everyone in the entertainment industry: Jiang Yuhe. He was the capital magnate who could essentially control the fate of all celebrities.

He asked her nonchalantly, “How do you want to be compensated?”

Seeing this as the golden finger sent by God, bold ideas suddenly sprang into Wen Yu’s head.

–

Wen Yu had claimed to have forgotten everything, firmly calling Jiang Yuhe “Older Brother”. And thus, the doctor diagnosed her with psychogenic amnesia, so her memories were distorted. Helpless, Jiang Yuhe was forced to temporarily take care of this “Little Sister”.

“Brother, are you coming home for dinner tonight?”

“Sorry Brother, a sister just called you. She seems to have misunderstood.”

“Brother, if you are well, then today will be a good day.”

Pretending to be an innocent little green tea*, Wen Yu was sweet, plain, and gentle and had a peaceful and beautiful temperament in front of other people. Behind that facade was a woman who would strike scummy men with a knife heavy-handedly.

On the day she humiliated her scummy ex and forced him to leave the entertainment industry, Wen Yu felt vindicated. Overly excited for a moment, she mistakenly texted her “brother” instead of her scummy ex.

The man squinted as he read the words on the screen out loud. “‘I tolerated and endured humiliation for three months’?”

He sneered, adjusting his position. “Well, aren’t you quite capable?”

“…”

Eventually, Wen Yu would finally learn on the true meaning of tolerating and enduring humiliation T_T
