A War Without Casualties.... more>>

The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighbouring Giadian Empire’s army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that’s what the government claims.

In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the “nonexistent” Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the “unmanned” weapons into battle…

Shin is the leader of a squadron of eighty-sixers. Lena is a “handler” who commands the detachment from the remote rear with the help of special communication technology.

The farewell story of the severe and sad struggle of these two begins! <<less

"You’re a failure, don’t ever cross my threshold again!" ... more>>

In a country where magic is everything, especially in a kingdom where everything is determined by the ability of ‘bloodline magic’ that only nobles are born with. Hermes, who was born as the second son of a certain noble family, was found to be a “failure” with no bloodline magic despite his high magical talent, and was exiled from the family. Hermes was almost killed in the depths of his disappointment, but then he was picked up by Rose, a “witch” he met, who saw his talent and made him her apprentice.

After five years of training, he returns to King’s Landing with the most powerful magic of all – the ability to recreate all magic – and learns all kinds of magic he never knew he could. He corrects the wrong thinking spreading in the kingdom, saves his childhood friends who suffer from magic, destroys the incompetent position of the bloodline magic-dependent people who banished him, and eventually makes a name for himself as the savior of the kingdom. <<less

Yu Le transmigrated into a male lead of a danmei novel. This male lead was particularly pe*verted and had a total of three personalities.... more>>

The main personality is gentle and kind, silently admiring his childhood sweetheart, a genius violinist, from afar. Eventually, he sacrificed himself for love.

The second personality is vicious and crazy; in order to defeat the main personality and gain control over the body, he secretly colluded with the CEO gong, courting death in all kinds of ways.

The third personality is a little sister, a cute idiot who chased stars all day long.

In the end, this supporting male lead turned into a fool and was admitted to a mental hospital.

After finding himself in his body, Yu Le’s back turned cold: …Fortunately, I am the only one in my body now.

In order to avoid his tragic fate, he gave up on the little shou from the very beginning and worked hard to become the best security guard on the protagonist’s road of love.

In order to match the leads, he tried to find Mr. CEO at the concert: “May I ask if you know a man with a straight nose, a big adam’s apple, good looks, and who is capable at first glance?”

The man next to him frowned: “Little idiot, do you think my nose is straight enough? Is my adam’s apple big enough? Am I capable enough?”

Yu Le was taken aback: “I’m sorry Mr. CEO, I was taking liberties.”

In order to make up for his mistake, he pretended to send flowers to the little shou in the name of Mr. CEO, but he was discovered by accident.

Little shou was shocked: “A Yu, I didn’t expect you to love me so much?!”

Yu Le: “No, let me explain….”

In order to prevent the third lead, a green tea celebrity, from sneaking in, he dug out his female attire and mixed into the crazy fan circle. Following his schedule with a camera every day, he closely monitored his movements.

In a certain interview, the big star said with a smile: “I have a male fan who must be present at every event. He is proficient in photography and make-up. Although he likes women’s clothing and often resorts to stalking me, his pe*vertedness is still very cute.”

Yu Le: “...???”

Realising that something was going wrong, he immediately packed up his things to run away.

But things soon came to light.

The three men had turbulent emotions and dark faces as they backed him into a corner.

The little shou’s face was gloomy: “A Yu, why are you doing this?”

The CEO’s eyes were dark: “What is your purpose in approaching me?”

The big star had a copy, paste fake smile: “Which one of us do you like?”

Yu Le: “... I’m sorry if I was ever misleading, but I actually don’t like any of you.”

The faces of the three changed drastically: “No, you must like us!”

“Pick one of us right now! You have to choose!”

Then it’s best to stay out of the little shou’s way; he can only reluctantly point to the green tea star: “Then…I pick you?”

He immediately showed a victorious smile and bent down to kiss his hand: “I am honoured.”

Later.

Big star: “A Yu, you and I are a perfect match!”

Yu Le was shocked: “How is this possible? You’re so abnormal!”

The big star was surprised: “You don’t actually think that you are a normal person, do you?”

Yu Le: “Aren’t I?”

He stated the facts as he reasoned: “A Yu, you don’t shy away from wearing women’s clothes, you are an extremely picky eater but insist on eating everything in front of others, and you even have the mental capabilities to lead on three men to love you, but you still think you are a normal person…Look, you are a pe*vert.”

He smiled: “I’m a green tea, aren’t we made for each other?”

The little pe*verted heartthrob is attacked by the big green tea. <<less

Wen Fan liked his childhood friend, Shao Yisui, who he grew up with, a long time ago. But Shao Yi has a ten-meter-thick wall against straight men, has a bad temper and is homophobic, and avoids the gay community.... more>>

Although Wen Fan was gay, he had no interest in playing the straight-bending game. He thought it would be fine to just remain friends forever. However, on Shao Yisui's twenty-eighth birthday, a contract suddenly appeared in front of him.

A marriage contract.

Shao Yisui had a headache: "Fan Fan, my parents are pushing too hard."

Wen Fan, who also suffered from his parents' pressure to get married, agreed.

He went from being the good friend of the big boss of the Shao Group to Mrs.Shao. Everyone envied their loving relationship, but Wen Fan was very clear-headed. He always remembered that Shao Yisui liked women, and he would never pester him. He repeatedly stated that he didn't mind Shao Yisui bringing people home, and he would leave immediately when the contract expired.

Unexpectedly, one day, Shao Yisui drank some unclean wine at a social event and ended up stumbling into Wen Fan's room. After a night together, Wen Fan couldn't even get up.

This was an accident beyond the contract, and Shao Yisui knew he had made a mistake and wanted to compensate him. But Wen Fan waved it off: "We're both adults, forget it."

After that day, Wen Fan continued to live his life as he pleased, but Shao Yisui, who couldn't resist the taste of forbidden fruit, couldn't stay calm anymore.

Every day, he found Wen Fan more beautiful and tempting than the day before. Wen Fan sat on the balcony reading, and he stared at him foolishly all afternoon. Wen Fan came out of the shower wrapped in a towel, and he had a nosebleed all night. In his dreams, all he saw was the handsome figure from that night.

Wen Fan never harbored any illusions about Shao Yisui, so he forced himself to forget about that incident. He thought Shao Yisui, a straight man of steel, must have been disgusted by the whole thing, or he wouldn't have avoided him for so long. Wen Fan thought their contract would probably be terminated early.

However, at a high-end banquet, someone tried to make a move on Wen Fan, and just as they were about to kiss him, Shao Yisui arrived and knocked them down with a punch.

The man's eyes were filled with uncontrollable jealousy and rage. He gritted his teeth: "How dare you touch my wife?"

Later, their contract ended smoothly, but Shao Yisui seemed to have forgotten about the whole thing. Wen Fan had to gently remind him.

That night, in the dimly lit room, the man pressed him against the wall and pleaded, "Fan Fan, let's not get divorced, okay?" <<less

As the two famous beauties of the school, not a day goes by without Jin Siming and Yao Jin competing with each other. Although her grades are not as good as Yao Jin’s, in terms of her face and body, Jin Siming will never admit defeat! ... more>>

Recently she heard that Yao Jin had differentiated into an A-rank Omega. Jin Siming’s heart bloomed with joy when she heard this because, in the hospital’s recent report, it said that she will differentiate into an S-level omega in the future. With this alone, she will finally be above Yao Jin in something!

However, she was only happy for a few days when the tables turned on her.

Because she….actually differentiated into an Alpha.

Although she usually drools over the Alpha’s peerless and perfect bodies, she doesn’t want to become an Alpha herself!

After she was differentiated, not only did her appearance change, but her originally weak and weak temperament has disappeared too. Even the Alphas who used to surround and diligently chase her every day are now all avoiding her.

On the other hand, Yao Jin only becomes more and more charming after she differentiates into an Omega. Even just looking at her back, one can feel her boundless charm. The admirers around her continue to increase every day instead.

She secretly made a decision as she gazed at her former rival’s boundless beauty–

She will drive all of Yao Jin’s admirers away!

However, Yao Jin’s admirers haven’t even been driven away yet when the rumors began to spread in school.

“Shocking development! The relationship between Jin Siming and Yao Jin has been reversed, from former rivals to lovers! Jin Siming has apparently been in love with Yao Jin for a long time and has made a move on her former rival!”

Jin Siming: ????
Yao Jin (leans forward): I’ve heard you have a crush on me?
Jin Siming: That’s your imagination, why would I ever fall for you?
Yao Jin: Oh?

On the campus forum the next day, photos of Jin Siming being pressed down by Yao Jin spread all over the homepage. <<less

Jiang Li transmigrated into a true and false daughter novel and became the cannon fodder in the book. On the first day of transmigrating, the wealthy parents came to the door and said that Jiang Li was their biological daughter who had been living outside for fifteen years.... more>>

According to the plot: Full of joy and anticipation, the novel Jiang Li went home with her parents, but found that the parents and brother only cared about the adopted daughter.

The elder brother also warned her more than once: My sister is not in good health, so don’t you dare make trouble with her.

Because the novel ‘Jiang Li’ was targeted everywhere by the female lead’s supporters, she was full of resentment and gradually became blackened.

Of course Jiang Li refused to follow the original plot, so she decided to find this body’s maternal grandfather.

After arriving at the Feng family, with the support of maternal grandfather and several older cousin brothers, Jiang Li suddenly became everyone’s favorite.

Only her youngest uncle Feng Qi had a cold face and was lukewarm to her.

But a month later, Feng Qi took her everywhere to show off: “This is my niece, biological!”

Three years later, the Jiang family came to the door and asked Jiang Li to donate a kidney to Jiang Ruo. They persuaded her to be kind, saying that people can still live with one kidney.

Feng Qi rushed home from the scientific research institute and protected Jiang Li behind his back, “The person who can bully Xiao Lizi has not been born yet!”

Seeing that the Jiang family still did not give up, Feng Qi coldly looked at his elder sister who had cut off her relationship with the family after eloping many years ago, “Sister, Xiao Lizi and Jiang Ruo are not related at all, but their kidney can successfully match each other. Does your pig brain have no doubts at all?”

After that, the Jiang family ran away with tails between their legs, and they no longer dared to make trouble with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li looked at Feng Qi curiously, “Uncle, how do you know that Jiang Ruo is Jiang family’s illegitimate daughter?”

Feng Qi said confidently, “I was just talking nonsense. Who knows if I hit it right.”

Jiang Li:……

What Jiang Li didn’t know was that not long after she returned to the Feng family, Feng Qi ordered people to investigate the Jiang family.

He kept silent over the years, only because he didn’t want that brainless sister to come snatching his precious niece.

But later, his niece was snatched for real.

At that moment, he really wanted to break that bastard’s leg!!! <<less

But on his very first day with his new team, he unexpectedly presented as an omega right in front of the team’s captain Chi Shuo.

Chi Shuo took his new teammate to the hospital for an examination. Afterwards, the boy looked up at him with a sheen of moisture in his eyes. The corners of his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse as he rasped, “Captain, the doctor says I’m allergic to suppressants. Can you help me?”

“…help you how?” Chi Shuo asked.

Ye Shaoyang simply turned his back to Chi Shuo. “Just give me a temporary mark. Bite me here, thanks.”

Chi Shuo’s expression gradually crumbled.

What was with this omega?! Was a mark something you could hand out so freely?!

Netizens:

[I heard Team Tianhuan’s new teammate is an omega!]
[Is he going to play support? Everyone, please be sure to take care of your sweet, delicate, adorable new omega support!]
That was the buzz, right up until Ye Shaoyang demonstrated his explosive prowess by single-handedly taking five kills in a competitive match.

Their opponents:
