Chen Wan was very adept at dealing with people. Relying on his thoughtfulness and meticulousness to be reliable, he mixed with the group of princelings. As long as he was there, even the humidity of the air would feel just right.... more>>

He didn’t go through all this trouble in hopes that Zhao Shengge would like him. Chen Wan never left his name nor sought credit, keeping to the shadows. Zhao Shengge did not even have to know that he existed; glimpsing him from afar just once or twice was enough.

His friend, impatient at his low expectations, asked, “What are you playing at?”

“I’m not playing at anything,” Chen Wan smiled, holding on to his unbreakable oath of secret devotion. “I just hope that my presence would make him a little happier and more comfortable.”

Zhao Shengge was the favored child of the heavens, holding a high position and wielding immense power. Chen Wan was very self aware. He wouldn’t hold any hopes about something that was simply impossible, believing that his careful distance was maintained flawlessly.

When their paths crossed at the auction, Chen Wan would blend into the crowd, offering only the same greetings as strangers;

When he came across Zhao Shengge’s belongings, he would ask his friend to pass them on;

When someone tried using him to get close to Zhao Shengge through him, he’d apologize and say that they don’t actually know each other……

Or at least that’s what he believed.

Until that moment on the cruise ship, when the other person stared at him quietly, cigarette between his lips as he slowly said: “Chen Wan, I didn’t bring a lighter.”

On the surface, it’s the shou chasing the gong, but it’s actually the gong calmly orchestrating the chase, maneuvering the shou towards him.

Song Yunhui is the young master of the Song family. When he was young, his mother died of illness and his father married another woman, bringing him a younger brother.... more>>

Since then, he has never experienced the feeling of being held in the palm of someone’s hand.

He studied hard and practiced calligraphy and piano with little success, failing to gain anyone’s love and appreciation.

As soon as he entered the entertainment industry, he was accused of being jealous of his younger brother’s fame. He was accused of stealing scenes while acting, of lip-syncing while singing, and people even accused him of having bad intentions while saving a fellow actor who fell in the river.

Finally, he was successfully blacklisted all over the Internet, and everyone condemned him.

After rescuing the actor who fell into the river, he fainted. When he woke up again, Song Yunhui discovered that this world is a book, and his brother is the protagonist. Song Yunhui is simply the cannon fodder obstacle on the protagonist’s path that everyone hates.

His father likes his younger brother. The person he likes likes his younger brother. Even the internet only likes his younger brother.

No matter what he does, no matter how well he does it, no one will care.

Song Yunhui thought about it.

If you don’t like someone, leave. If people don’t like you, don’t force yourself.

After he packed up and announced his retirement, he found a small villa in a small town. There, he would write songs by himself and occasionally stream while singing and playing games to support himself.

From time to time, he’d go to the neighbors house and poach a meal. It’s a very comfortable life. <<less

Ye Er first saw that female zerg in an advertis**ent. He was cheap, and significantly damaged, with only a pair of golden eyes that remained beautiful.... more>>

Later, when he saw him again, it was in the female s*ave exchange live broadcast, where he was trampled, his spine crushed, shamelessly humiliated, his eyes silently enduring the pain and embarrassment. Yet, he shed not even a single teardrop.

Later on, Ye Er picked up that dying female zerg back home.

Nursing the female zerg back to health was like repairing an old, rusty machine. He was severely mutilated, had lost his bone wings, was blinded in one eye, and had his legs broken, unable to walk.

Broken and tattered, completely lacking in value, silent yet sharp.

Ye Er cared for him like a stray dog he had picked up, changing bandages, feeding, caressing his head to appease, turning on the lights at night to drive away spasms and nightmares… striving to be a qualified keeper.

However, after continuous nursing, the female zerg who unknowingly grew powerful and returned to the peak of power, surrounded him with his newly grown bone wings, gently and cautiously with matchless devotion.

Five years after the war ended, the empire and the military welcomed back their “sacrificed” general, leading to a strong reshuffle, resulting in the dismissal of numerous noble military officers.

On the surface, the scene was of foul wind and blood rain, with fear and trepidation.

While the media was subtly pointing fingers at the arrogant and cold-blooded tyrant, the tyrant was wearing a soft pink warm apron, skillfully baking matcha cookies with a gentle expression as he called Ye Er to wash his hands before eating.

No one could have imagined that during the day, the general, who was violent and unparalleled, skillfully tearing mechas apart on the military training ground—

Would obediently open up his heart completely with his own hands, trembling all over, his eyes red and moist from being bullied, hoarsely voicing his forbearing affection.

To emphasize the villain’s evil before he meets his end at the protagonist’s hands, an extra is falsely accused by his own brother, Letiyan, and dies imprisoned in the duke’s castle. ... more>>

That was supposed to be Vivisian’s role.

But when Letiyan died, the original story was thrown into chaos.

After enduring relentless torture, Vivisian no longer wished to go on living.

He wanted death.

But the gods kept rewinding time, pulling him back just before he could die.

Then, just as he resigned himself even to death, he unexpectedly found himself sitting in the temporary duke’s seat—

And taking in a child.

"Take care of this baby for me."

"I’m not a baby! Don’t call me that!"

"Maybe it’s that awful temper of yours, but no matter what I do, your fever won’t go down."

For now, he decides to postpone his death.

Because he must find this child a real family.

Not a family as broken as his own.

Not the ones who stole everything from him.

A true family.

"Sia, I’ll find you a family."

* * *

Using his abilities, Vivisian safely returns Sia to his family.

And in the aftermath of his power running rampant, he believes this is finally the end for him.

He even thinks he might have smiled at the very last moment.

But when he opens his eyes again, he’s in his own room.

A damned god’s so-called kindness has granted him one more year.

And in the Patos Desert, he meets that child once again.

"Vivi, you were the one who said it first. If someone lets one thing slide, the other should do the same at least once."

"......."

"I watched you die right before my eyes. So now, it’s your turn to listen to my request. …Please."

The child, now grown, begs him to live by his side.

Because if Vivi saved him once, then his life belongs to him as well. <<less

Clo Heartfield is a feudal lord of a remote region.... more>>

He was born with the primary knowledge of "this world". Reincarnation, otome game, magic, academy, the future of this world. In other words, according to his memories, this was a world of a game from his previous life. However, he was reincarnated not as the main character, the villainess or the capture target, but rather as the son of a noble, who barely missed the chance to attend the academy with the protagonist due to their slight age difference and didn't even appear in the main game. Also, he didn't get any privileges that came with being a reincarnator. In addition, he made an enemy out of a person with high status at the academy and was demoted into being the feudal lord of a remote region.

Just as he had changed his way of looking at his life, considering it as a second chance to live a different life unrealted to the game, his marriage was suddenly decided. And his partner was Violet Valentine, the woman who fulfilled the role of a villainess in this world.

"I'm going to marry you, Do Seung-han."

"So, are we going to start dating or something?"

There was nothing to be gained by acting arrogant. She just had to put up with him for half a year. But he tested Yu-ju's patience at every turn.

"Is tormenting people your hobby?"

"I'm thinking of making it my hobby from now on."

What a j*rk. What a rude b*stard. This shameless...

He touched her as he pleased, probed her at will, and treated her arrogantly. Do Seung-han immediately threw Yu-ju into a state of confusion.

Jiang Heng lived a carefree life until he was eighteen, when he was suddenly informed that he was the fake young master in a switched-at-birth scenario. The pampered young master of the Jiang family instantly became an orphan with no one to rely on. Before he could recover from this news, an out-of-control truck overturned, crushing him on the spot and ending his life.... more>>

When he woke up again, he found that he had not only transmigrated to four years later, but had also become a stray cat.

A newly weaned, little over a month old, seriously ill kitten, one that could kick the bucket at any moment.

Jiang Heng held up his furry paw, bewildered in the wind, "..."

How can this meow live?

With no survival experience, after getting himself covered in dust and dirt, Jiang Heng, having learned his lesson through painful experience, decided to find a sucker – a human to scam.

So he snuck into the university he had applied to before his death.

He saw Lu Yichuan in the crowd, his childhood friend he grew up with.

The dirty little kitten darted out from the bushes, bumping into Lu Yichuan's shoes, then delicately fell to the ground, his intention to scam very obvious.

Lu Yichuan was about to leave, but when he saw the kitten's bright, star-like eyes, he paused, slowly squatted down, extended a fingertip and poked the kitten's forehead, his voice as gentle as always, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Meow~"

Top-tier meal ticket, activated!

****

Lu Yichuan, a second-year graduate student in the Philosophy Department of A University, is the university's recognized male god, with a reputation so good it's breathtaking.

He is gentle and reasonable, treating everyone with good temper, his words and actions impeccable.

Over the years, countless men and women have confessed their love to him, and he hasn't agreed to any of them.

Someone was curious about what kind of person he likes.

The man looked up at the sky, the sun dazzlingly painful to the eyes.

He smiled and said, "Someone like the sun, I guess."

It's just a pity that his sun sank to the bottom of the sea in his twentieth year.

Since then,

The world could no longer be illuminated by a single ray of light.

****

Jiang Heng felt that becoming Lu Yichuan's cat was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

The man never restricted his freedom, cat food was plentiful, canned food was readily available, and he could wander outside for days and nights without being noticed.

Until Lu Yichuan was suddenly hospitalized. When he woke up, he tied a red string around his neck, and everything changed.

The perpetually open window was shut tight, and the man, who often stayed out all night, now spent almost twenty-four hours a day in the dormitory.

If he felt stuffy, the man would take him for a walk. If he felt the dormitory was small, the man would take him to a large villa...

As long as he left Lu Yichuan's sight for more than ten minutes, the man could always pinpoint his location.

He held his favorite canned food in his hand, his eyes holding an unreadable darkness, "Rongrong, it's time to go home."

Jiang Heng: QAQ

Masato suddenly finds himself transported to a world that's just a little more populated by women than his own. But hey, he’s got an identity, he can go to college—so apart from the slightly more assertive women, life doesn’t seem all that different, right? Confident in this naive assumption, Masato begins his new life, completely unaware of the impact his casual kindness (by his old world’s standards) has on the women around him.

Until one day, she spots an impossibly handsome man in a local tavern, and in her drunken stupor, she does something she shouldn’t have done.

“If you take someone’s first time you’re responsible for it for the rest of your life.”

He had a great face and body, but not a very good head.

“Do you really think you lost all your powers for no reason?”

The man in front of her was the Emperor of a neighboring country. He smirked, as if he knew what he was talking about.

“By the way, are you sure you don’t remember me? We’ve met before.”

“I’ll treat you especially different.”

At some point, as if it were only natural, Go Yohan claimed his seat at the very summit of the pyramid inside the school.

He, whose second nature seemed to be ignoring and suppressing others, showed interest in Kang Jun.

Kang Jun, who was subtly ignored by his friends for being weak, didn’t dislike Go Yohan’s interest, but…

With a low mocking tone, the croquis book fell to the floor. His intense eyes bore into the woman in front of him. Her slender face turned pale like a blank canvas, then flushed red again.

"What do you mean…"

"Ms. Song Seorin, you don't have the money to pay off your debt, right?"

Unlike the frozen Seorin, Taejeong slowly examined her trembling face.

His pale-colored eyes flickered like a candle in the wind. His slightly pouted lips, which could easily be gripped with one hand, and his chin both vibrated incessantly.

“So let’s do this, then.”

Taejeong, who had let out a brief laugh at the absurdity, lifted the bottle again. Even as he poured into the glass, his cynical gaze never left Song Seorin.

“Until the debt’s all paid off, either your legs day and night in front of pig bstards old enough to be your father—”

This time, her neat front teeth bit down on her lower lip. She looked as if, with the slightest touch, she would burst into tears like a balloon pricked by a needle. He found her peach-tinted face oddly pleasing.

A large hand, knuckles thick with bone, picked up the glass. Taejeong pressed the cold glass to his straight lips and parted them slightly. The cruelty he had hidden behind his ridge-like smile surged along the prominent line of his Adam’s apple.

“Or crawl under me.”

He wanted to leave his footprints on the woman as pure as newly fallen snow. <<less

In the moment before she loses unconsciousness, a pair of soft lips presses against hers.

When she awakens again, she finds herself submerged in a dim pool, lying next to a woman.

The woman is completely naked, her long, wavy hair cascading like thick seaweed, her features strikingly beautiful with an exotic charm, and she has a pale blue fish tail.

Yun Xi’s eyes roll up and she faints again.

Yun Xi can no longer hold on and decides to go on a hunger strike.

The innocent mermaid, thinking Yun Xi is ill, ventures up the mountain and into the sea, searching for everything edible. She carefully places the food beside Yun Xi, watching her anxiously, nudging her with her nose as if pleading. Eventually, she holds Yun Xi while crying uncontrollably.

Hearing the mermaid’s sobs, Yun Xi’s heart softens, and she ultimately abandons the hunger strike.

She must survive, just like all the other creatures on this island; survival is the top priority.
