If life could start over, she would never do such a s*upid thing as “justify bravely” again.... more>>

Since saving this dead little demon on the road at the age of seven, her life has fallen into a miserable situation.

From her mother, down to the soft-footed junior brothers in the martial arts hall, are all coaxed to be submissive by this dead little demon who looks like a beautiful flower boy.

As everyone knows, he’s just using his appearance to win love and sympathy. In fact, he is an ungrateful highest-ranking bastard who will frame her!

Since she was a child, she didn’t know how many suffocating losses she had suffered from him.

Since she can’t afford to provoke him then she can always avoid him, right?

However, he just won’t go away, wandering around her with his old love and still wickedly ruined her love affair repeatedly!

This bastard! She hates him the most! He can just go to hell──

Horses! Why did he become a victim of a car explosion?

“I’ve been pursuing you for so long, what do you think?’

Xu Xu could feel her heart pounding in her chest; however what he said wasn’t logical.

“You’re pursuing me?”

Ji Bai raised his black eyes looking at her quietly.

“Every morning I exercised with you, personally taught you how to shoot, prompted the police team to call you sister in law… If this isn’t pursuing, then what is it?”

She took a deep breath stabilizing her heartbeat.

“You don’t need to pursue me anymore.”

Ji Bai totally did not expect her to say that. His heart sank, coldly said: “What do you mean?”

Xu Xu looked into his eyes: “I also like you so you don’t need to pursue.” <<less

After the 108th Monster Population Census, the Monster Family Planning Office issued a new regulation: Given the rising single monster population, which poses a threat to the society and undermines the harmony between humans and monsters, Monster Family Planning Office decided that from this day onward it’s forbidden to be a single monster of marriageable age.... more>>

As a result, Ying Qiao and Tao Tie, two ancient monsters who had remained single ever since their creation, were forced to go on a blind date.

To discourage their date, they both decided to lie about what they truly were.

Ying Qiao: “I am an orphan snake monster with no house and car under my name. My monthly salary is three thousand yuan. Can’t afford social insurance.”

Tao Tie: “I have a temporary job and eight brothers living off my eighty yuan daily salary.”

They both agreed they were not a good fit for each other. But under pressure, they agreed to put on a show to set a good example for the benefit of the new regulation. They planned to be a fake couple.

A foreign monster entered their nation illegally and committed many crimes. Jiang City Monster Bureau was put on high alert, and elite members were deployed to hunt for the suspect.

After having his dragon scales polished, Ying Qiao spread his wings and joined the hunt.

Putting his brother into his pocket, Tao Tie went out to join the hunt too.

In the sky above Jiang City, they had a chance encounter.

Curling his tail to hide his expensive jade tail ring, Ying Qiao said.” I am on a business trip.”

Putting his hand behind his back to hide his wristwatch worth a million, Tao Tie said.” What a coincidence, so am I.”

Knowing that their lies were exposed, they stared at each other long and hard. They both said, “We will settle accounts after getting back.” <<less

*The Four Great Female Constables – Book 1/4... more>>

Not all women in the world desire to fight for the position of the main wife.

Just like Bai Yuxiao who is very happy to be a concubine since she does not need to care about other things. Since she can sleep well, eat well, and live well, compared to the swords and shadows that lurk in Jianghu, the fight for power in the inner courtyards is like house wine.

When she is free and at leisure, she can also tease these women and she can also regulate herself mentally and physically ~ ~

However, this can only be used to pass the time. She still has to take care of her own important business. Although being a constable may seem dangerous, it could bring great wealth if exploited properly.

*The Four Great Female Constables – Book 2/4... more>>

The first time Hua Qianqian met Yeqing, she was angry.

“Are you a killer?”

“Are you a constable?”

A killer meets a constable.

Similar to a dog seeing a cat, there are extreme ferocity and a mu*derous aura.

“I will arrest him and bring him to justice first, then later, you can find a chance to kill him. Then both of us won’t suffer a loss, what do you say?”

Yeqing was speechless. As a constable, she did not stop him from killing and even negotiated with him?

The second time they met, she smiled.

“Why didn’t you do a proper job as a killer but work as a male prostitute to let your chrysanthemum be poked? Did you lose your job?”

“Similarly, you quit your job as a constable and became a dancer, are you unable to hold on to your job?”

“Che! Being a constable is only a part-time job. A dancer makes a lot of money, don’t you know that?”

Yeqing was speechless again. Is the unconventional constable making fun of a professional killer?

The third time they met, she became familiar with him.

“it’s been a long time since we met. Did you change your job to become a painter? Ah……are you painting me?”

Holding up the portrait she cast an ambiguous look at him. To be on the receiving end of a secret crush is a bit embarrassing.

Yeqing said coldly. “That is your reward poster. Someone put up a bounty for your head.” <<less

“My dearest husband, come follow me back to the mountains.”

Ji Lang was amused. Amongst the ghosts he had met, this was the first time he met one who came to groomnap.

“In that case, shouldn’t we first have our nuptial night?” said Ji Lang. Wu Miaomiao tilted her head. She felt it was logical and headed home with her husband.

Ji Lang was the reincarnation of Ephialtes. It was said that if he was to be fully awakened, he would possess the powers to drown the entire human population in their nightmares. He could enter into anybody’s dreams, probe into their dreamscapes and pry into their deepest secrets.

Because of this ability, for these 20 years, Ji Lang could not have a good night's sleep. He was forced to sink into all sorts of nightmares till the day he met the girl from the Witch Clan. On the first day he met her, he slept on her bed.

Ji Lang: “You said that you are my wife? (I finally can have a proper sleep (#^.^#))”

The people from the metaphysical world feared the power of Ephialtes. They were constantly wary of him fully awakening his powers and destroying the world afterwards. They planted spies near him to put an end to him upon signs of his awakening.

Wu Miaomiao: “I heard that you people want to bully my dearest husband, I will curse you all oh~~~”

Ji Lang: (#^.^#)

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed.

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?
