Shen Kanyu had chased after Gu Yansheng from the moment they met and all years following. He has been married to him for 3 years, has birthed a daughter for him, and now lives at this house he hates to return to, cooking for him even on days he doesn’t return. Still, he is content to continue on as long as their days pass like this. In a place where their hands touch the same bowl, where Gu Yansheng comes to linger in his daughter’s grip, and where warmth softly ghosts him.

For more than 10 years, my body was possessed by someone else. It would have been nice of ‘that person’ if she used my body and returned it in a good condition, but not only did she get married with my own body, she’s also clinging to her husband like a stalker..?!

“First, let’s get divorced.”

I tried to start a new life by dumping my husband, who has been treating me like tr*sh, and my family who treated me like dirt.

But.

“Leaving? You will leave me?”

My husband who doesn’t believe me.

“Why are you taking his side, sister?”

A younger brother who’s suddenly jealous.

“Stay in this house. You can’t go anywhere.”

Even my father who hated me all along is suddenly obsessed? What’s wrong with them all of a sudden? <<less

An admired boss with a child and a wife. I was convinced that I would never be able to have him. But―... more>>

“Hisaki-san. It’s ‘common sense for a boss to take care of his subordinate’s health and lifestyle’.”

“Since ‘it is common sense that daily life includes handling s*x drive,’ if I want to kiss you, you as my boss must answer to that, right?”

Hisaki-san responded, “Sure,” with a muddled look in his eyes, and put his arms lightly around my cheek.

And then―

His well-formed lips, which I had assumed I could never possess, overlapped with mine.

Having acquired the power to manipulate anyone he touches at will, Yuinosuke thrusts his admired boss, senior members of the same team, the president of the company, as well as the people in the office, into a world of debauchery as his desires dictate― <<less

Princess Leah wrote a su*cide note ahead of her wedding.... more>>

It was because she was certain that she would die after the wedding night; a miserable end of a princess who devoted her life to the country and to the royal family.

But before giving up her life, Leah planned her last revenge to the family, one that would surely leave them in ruins even after she became a cold corpse.

She would bring them shame by being a non-virg*n bride.

“Why did you throw away your first experience? Don’t you just want to run away?”

“I… I want to die.” Leah impulsively confided to the man she slept with for one night. <<less

She is the Crown Prince’s fiancee, but on the night of their wedding, an edict was made and she was given off to marry the crippled and paralyzed God of War.... more>>

On their wedding night, the paralyzed groom pressed her under his body: “Do you want this prince to kill you or poison you?” Lin Chujiu was a famous surgeon so she didn't feel threatened that easily. She turned and pressed the crippled man under her body: “Say, do you want me to completely waste your legs or waste your third leg?”

She is a genius surgeon doctor in the Modern Era that was transmigrated into the body of the Eldest Miss of the Lin Family.

He is a famous prince named as the God of War and was feared by many.

“I, Lin Chujiu, am not a good woman. I do not know how to write melodramatic words.”

“I am in love with you and willing to do anything for you. I will bear the blame of our country or even help you seize the vast territory of our motherland…”

“I hate you, I am willing to pull out your heart, take out your bones and after you lose your life I will destroy this picturesque country…” <<less

Master Gu explained with a tangled expression on his face, "Time travel, do you understand? It means you've traveled from your dynasty to the 21st century."

Mu Ci was confused and asked, "...like the story of Peach Blossom Spring?"

Gu Huai covered his face and said, "Almost... Anyway, don't worry, I will take care of you. From now on, you can eat ice cream and watch TV as much as you like."

Mu Ci was relieved, thinking he was holding onto a powerful and amazing thighs, and the rest of his life would be carefree. However, he didn't expect that this CEO would develop an interest in him and attempt to force him into a marriage contract by using his compromising sleeping photos!

Mu Ci was shocked, "Wait, can two men get married?"

Gu Huai was greedy: "Actually, I still want to have a child with you."

Mu Ci was shocked, "I am so ignorant that I don't even know that humans have evolved to the point where men can have children in the 21st century."

Gu Huai corrected himself, "I meant adopt, adopt! A family of three is the most stable. Once we have a child, you won't run away again!" <<less

Ruan Yōu became a brainless cannon fodder in the Mary Sue entertainment novel, with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs. She was criticized by fans as “trying to climb up” after looking at the top male lead too much, and the female lead took the opportunity to suppress her, causing her career to plummet.... more>>

Ruan Yōu accepted her fate and decided to retire from the industry to study finance and live a laid-back life as a salted fish.

However, her billionaire parents and CEO brother came knocking on her door, their eyes filled with guilt.

Ruan Yōu: ?!

Fu Jiazhan had known since he was a child that the little princess who had been betrothed to him had gone missing.

With one sentence from Qu Chenzhou, he killed Prince Liu’s family.... more>>

The reason was that he was the sword in the hands of the emperor, and the Prince was a thorn in the emperor’s eyes.

But the words were what Qu Chenzhou said himself.

After the Prince defected, he vowed that one day he would surely throw away his bones as ashes,

And for this word, he waited for the Prince in the capital for many years.

Until he died.

He confessed that he was sinful, and he didn’t ask the Prince to understand his secret help over the years,

He just wanted to pay off his sinful debt.

So in front of Prince Liu, he died in the most tragic manner.

But he didn’t see the Prince holding his body in pain, almost in madness.

“——Qu Chenzhou, how dare you lie to me!”

Yuande’s seventh year, Winter.

Qu Chenzhou died, and all parties clapped and cheered.

Except for one person who seemed as if he had lost everything. <<less

The true top predator, plundering the best survival resources and hunting the top prey.

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

When his ancestral foundation was destroyed and he was at the end of his tether, when he was betrayed by his relatives, he thought of the bodyguard who had been with him all his life, who he personally ordered to be executed.

When he opened his eyes again, time turned back like a big dream, and felt delighted that the silent and cold figure in black was still around. However, he didn’t notice that the other person’s eyes were full of broken cold light that seemed to have gone through great sadness and pain.

There exist in this world a set of six daggers that carry a terrible curse: the ability to inflict a death beyond time. Those under the daggers' curse shall reincarnate without end, never able to know happiness and always drawn to die once more by the dagger. This is the story of "Raine" and "Marie", two souls bound by the daggers' curse to kill one another, over and over again.... more>>

France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

The French-German border, 1916. As World War I rages on, Raine and Marie's latest reincarnations live the life of a sub-lieutenant in the French army and a medic with the Red Cross, respectively. The two lovers are reunited at the site of the Battle of Verdun, but no sooner have they met then Raine finds himself faced with a barrage of impossible circumstances. An enemy soldier's head suddenly vanishes, right before his eyes. One of his subordinates reports the same thing happening to an ally. Four more headless bodies vanish from a flooded bunker in the minute he looks away. These baffling events are a prelude to the return of their old tragedy.

Northern Hokkaido, 1989. Kimiyo, age eighteen, is already dying, an inoperable tumor in her hypothalamus leaving her with less than a year to live. Refusing to despair in the face of her tragic circumstances, she spends her remaining days with her friends at "The Library at the End of the World", a private library so called due to its isolated nature. One day, a man named Kito approaches her out of the blue, regaling her with a story about a set of cursed daggers, knights in the 13th century, and the two of them being cursed, fated lovers. Naturally, Kimiyo is intensely skeptical, but the events that come next don't require her to believe in them.

Arriving at the scene of these three tragedies is Snowy, an enigmatic figure of indeterminate gender who claims to be "a detective charged with managing the world's chaos". <<less

Simon’s eyes glistened coldly at my words. Apparently he’s smiling, but in a strange and spine-chilling tone, Simon asked me.

“…Oh, really?”

That low, shady voice, pretending to be gentle. The anger in his voice was cold and cruel enough to freeze his surroundings.

“Then, which bastard does that child belongs to?”

He’s angry. I’ve known him for a long time that’s why I could tell. That’s the voice that comes out when he can no longer hold back his anger. But then… why the hell is he so upset?

“If you’ll know, what are you going to do?”

“That jerk can’t even be a good father so…”

“…… so what?”

“I can’t let him live.”

Oh no. I’m in trouble. After seeing his golden eyes lit with fire, there’s no way I could tell him now that it’s his child.

In the previous life, Wen Yu forcefully kissed Ji Anning, and she slapped him hard enough to make his mouth bleed.... more>>

“You… don’t f^cking believe that I really like you, do you?” He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb.

“Your so-called liking is nothing more than being attracted to my looks,” the impoverished student Ji Anning coldly replied.

Later, Ji Anning’s soul drifted and saw the true feelings of the wealthy man who had been pestering her all along. He stood on the rooftop, gazing at the dark night, and whispered, “I have avenged you.”

With a single thought, Ji Anning is reborn to her first year of college. At this time, she hasn’t died yet, and his hands hasn’t been stained with blood for her.

“Ji Anning, don’t even think about escaping from my grasp,” he released her lips and held her jaw viciously.

“What do you like about me? Isn’t it just being attracted to my looks?” Ji Anning smiled slightly, tiptoed, and kissed Wen Yu’s thin and sexy lips.

When I first saw you in the crowd, I saw you inside my heart. I want to shelter you from the wind and rain and hold you in my arms.

[At first glance, it’s you. You’re everything to me, in life and death.]

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.]
