Abandoned by her family, Yuri lived in a temple. ... more>>

One day, the darkness spoke to her.

“Baby. I don’t hate you. I just want to give you a chance.”

“ A…..chance.”

“Yes. You’ll be married to the frontiersman soon. If you can get him to promise, you will win. I’ll listen to whatever you want.”

“….”

“But if you can’t, you’ll have to give me everything.”

How long had it been since she had accepted the bet? Yuri fell in love with the northern man.

“If I, I…….looked a little more like that woman. Would you have loved me…?”

“No, I swear. Even if I died, I wouldn’t love you.”

“Eddie….I, I.”

“You’re not my mother.”

She eventually surrendered to the darkness on the day she was abandoned once again by the people she loved. Yuri closed her eyes as the curse took everything from her. And when she woke up,

“I’ve been waiting for you, for years. I missed you.” (Husband)

“Mother. I’ve never regretted saying that word.” (Child)

“Yuri, if you agree. I want you to come back to the Duchy.” (Father)

‘Why are you saying that now? If I were then, I would have forgiven you. And I could have been happy saying thank you.’

Tears came out.

‘It’s too late to apologize. I am no longer the person I was then.’ <<less

She was driven out from her birthplace and her home. Even her reason to exist was denied.
However, there still was someone who willingly offered her a helping hand. Years had passed and then she was alone again. She who had grown beautiful and strong, departed on a journey to explore the world which once rejected her. ... more>>

“Of course you can,” the boy’s replied nonchalantly, without changing his expression, “if you want to see me bleed to death, Fa…ther…” He leisurely pronounced the last two words. The six-year-old Qi Mingyue moved the hands away from his waist, ignoring the expression on the man’s face, and stood up to leave.

When he was the number one of a host club, he died from a gunshot. When he woke up he was a prince, and he met that man. The cunning and two faced, flirtatious and inconsistent man, but when it came to himself, it was unconditional love and care… so what if they were father and son?

As an emperor, he had encountered many people, and to him, there was but little difference among them, which made life dull. However, this prince subverted his perception. Gentle and profound like water, cold and indifferent like the moon… so what if he was destined to bring calamity, having mu*dered his own mother?

Just showering him with love and indulgence would be enough. <<less

Wen Li was reborn.

She looked at the fierce-looking man with an angry expression in front of her and suddenly hugged him while crying bitterly.

"Shu Huai, you're still alive! It's great that you're still alive!"

Wen Li's tears seemed to confuse Shu Huai, the fierce-looking man.

"What are you up to again? Be frank with me! Do you want the fur of the tiger I just hunted or do you want the thousand-year-old ginseng I just picked to treat your beloved crush?"

"Neither one of those. I want you to marry me!"

"Have you gone crazy!?"

"If you don't marry me, I will tell everyone that you r*ped me! In the end, you'll still have to marry me!"

This time around, she planned on living a good life!

But then she abandoned him and their children to follow Zhou Han as he moved to work in other places.

Later on, Zhou Han sold her to the red light district and she contracted a disease. Eventually, Shu Huai found her and decided to never leave her again.

When she was bullied by gangsters, Shu Huai fought to defend her and killed several people by mistake. Then he was imprisoned and they never saw each other again until he died....

In that city, a peculiar urban legend circulated.... more>>

"If one found themselves alone in a room at midnight, a ghost would slip through the window and stealthily enter. Once marked by its blade, there would be no escape, and life would quickly meet its end."

Only she and her master know that this urban legend hold some truth.

Egret, a girl who was taken in by the assassination guild at a tender age, before she could even comprehend the world around her. She was raised as an instrument of assassination and utilized accordingly. Due to her exceptional aptitude for assassination, she was highly valued, but it also subjected her to rigorous training. Emotionally detached and carefully honed, she grew up to be an elite assassination tool, earning the moniker "Ghost."

On that day, her routine was the same as always—to carry out her assigned tasks.

However, the job she received was different from the usual. It involved a target with a hidden secret. The mark was the eldest son of a duke—a man possessing military power on par with that of a "hero" within the immensely influential duke family.

As she embarks on the mission to target an opponent of overwhelming strength, unexpected encounters and unforeseen events await her.

Mana Doll.

A humanoid weapon crafted in the ancient era of the magical civilization. Designed to resemble humans, capable of speech and thought, this tool took the form of a girl. The encounter with such a mana doll would transport her beyond the confines of her "ordinary" existence.

Through a series of varied incidents and encounters, their bond would deepen.

Lian Xi was born with yin-yang eyes. Since he was a child, from day to night, he would be begged by ghosts to do things for them.... more>>

Helping ghosts fulfill their long cherished wishes would result in a reward. However, prior to finishing the task, no one would know if the reward would result in a blessing or a curse.

Once Lian Xi completes helping a ghost with something, the little ghost would start to glow with light.

If it was a gold light, that meant a blessing. If it was a red light, that meant a curse.

If it was a blessing he could win the lotto. If it was a curse he could step into dog sh*t every time he walked out of the door.

After finding bugs in his takeout for three days in a row, Lian Xi came to realize: “Only by pretending to be dead can I save my world!”

Originally he thought that he could live his life peacefully by pretending to be dead, but who knew that more and more ghosts started appearing around him. Not only them, but more and more strange people too. Until suddenly one day, a pure golden light passed by in front of him. Lian Xi’s mouth fell open, dumfounded, and then he reached out and grabbed it!

Gold Light / Lie Chen: ???

Lian Xi (*Organizing his breathing*): Hello, may I ask, do you have any long cherished wishes? A good deed results in good karma. I’m not interested in money falling from the sky, the most important thing is I’m kind and like to help people. I’m a modern-day Lei Feng and a current-day red-scarfer. I want to help you solve your heart’s problems so you can happily enter reincarnation and return to being a good person~~

So…

[Host, why did you kill him!!!]
[Host, why did you throw the big villain into the pile of zombies?]
[Host, calm down, what do you want to do with the cage!!!]

The host doesn’t play by the rules and System 168 expresses its extreme weariness.

Wen Su, who came from the abyss full of bones, said, “If the heavens forsakes me, then let the hundred ghosts roam the world; if the world hates me, then let the blood flow into rivers; if my families and friends hate me, then I’ll disregard moral principles and turn my back on my own blood relatives.”

Bai Tang: Be good, I will provide you with food and clothing, a place to live and transportation. I will guide you to strive for a life that is both intellectually and emotionally rich, and one that is filled with diverse and meaningful experiences. Just be a good person! Then I will not point my sword at your heart, nor put you in an iron cage.

Wen Su: Oh? I want you.
I was originally in the abyss, but since you came in carrying poisonous light, I wasn’t burnt by its poison. Since then, unable to forget, I put away my body full of spikes and thorns.

Childhood, upbringing, family background, social relations, traumatic experiences…... more>>

We keep reviewing and seeking out the motives of criminals, exploring the subtlest emotions driving them. It’s not to put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize, or even forgive them; it’s not to find some reasons to exculpate their crimes; it’s not to kneel down before the so-called “complexity of human nature”; nor to introspect social conflicts, much less to alienate ourselves into monsters.

We just want to have a fair trial – for ourselves and for those who still have hope for the world. <<less
