The Peng Society for Gentlemen — a secret friend-making club for the homos*xual men of the Great Xia Dynasty. Its services were designed to help its members along in their quest for their lifelong partners. Upon paying a monthly fee of fifty coins, members could get themselves listed in The Pengornisseur after providing a self-portrait, a mailing address, their age and hobbies, as well as a self-introduction. All members would receive a copy of the monthly publication, and they could communicate with one another in private using the information in The Pengornisseur.... more>>

Wu Xingzi, a bachelor about to turn forty, worked as the adviser to the magistrate in Qingcheng County.

Qingcheng County was a place with barely any resources. In other words, it was poor. In the list of counties of the Great Xia Dynasty, it had been ranked at the bottom for the past two hundred years.

Wu Xingzi felt that his life was hopeless: not only was he a homosexual, he was also a virg*n. Even his retirement fund was lacking. Worse still, his looks were… forgettable.

He might as well die.

Hence, Wu Xingzi decided to commit su*cide on his fortieth birthday. However, he was unwilling to remain a virg*n to death! And so, gritting his teeth, he joined the Peng Society for Gentlemen and received The Pengornisseur. It was very painful; after all, fifty coins were the sum of his daily expenditure for ten days! He would only pay it once, and he was determined to succeed on his first try. <<less

Shen Jue was punished for his misdeeds and had to go through the suffering of reincarnation. In order to break free from this cycle, he had no choice but to kill those beautiful heartthrobs, and before doing it, he had to attack and seize the other party and have the other party willingly die for him.... more>>

It’s just that, gradually, those heartthrobs who were captured have all blackened…

Yin Bai once thought that Xiao Nian truly loved her. So, she graciously provided her with the best resources, elevating her to a revered position. ... more>>

After achieving fame and success, Xiao Nian, in the name of true love, unceremoniously kicked her aside.

Yin Bai became the most ridiculed patron in the entertainment industry. On the night when Xiao Nian received the Best Actress award, she publicly declared her lifelong love in front of Yin Bai, infuriating her. She stormed off to the parking lot, where she took her anger out on her car with a cane, creating a resounding cacophony.

Coincidentally, this awkward scene was witnessed by Xiao Nian's arch-rival, Zuo Jing You.

Yin Bai promptly put away the cane, cleared her throat, adjusted her sleeves, and casually greeted her, "Long time no see, Miss Zuo. The weather today is quite pleasant, isn't it?"

Zuo Jing You remained calm and composed, saying, "Ms. Yin, please rest assured, I didn't see anything."

After saying this, Zuo Jing You walked past Yin Bai, leaving her so infuriated that she nearly snapped her cane that evening.

A few days later, Yin Bai encountered Zuo Jing You and another person having an argument in the hospital corridor. The man on the other side, with red eyes, uttered a memorable line, "You only lost a husband who didn't love you, but he lost genuine love!"

Yin Bai paused, locking eyes with Zuo Jing You's profound gaze. She then sympathetically mouthed, "I didn't hear anything..."

Yin Bai: I thought I was the little prince who tamed the rose. In the end, I realized I wasn't. I was just a little rose with four thorns who thought I could do as I pleased.

Zuo Jing You: I used to think that in love, as long as I did well enough, it would be sufficient. But love isn't that simple; it's not enough for just one person to do well.

So this time, I will learn to love you properly.

“I want to be a real family.”

Navia, who had been hung up on her family’s affection, does her best to become an empress while being abused, but the moment Vivian, the duke’s biological daughter, is cured, her family abandons her.

No, it would be fair to say that they abandoned her every time.

“How much longer do I have to try? To be your family.”

Navia took off her blood-soaked gloves.

Then on her right wrist, an invisible number that wasn’t visible to others was revealed.

“Now, I’m going to stop playing with family games.”

At that moment, the number on the wrist changed.

Exquisite taste of Xinfeng County's finest liquor, perfectly complemented by the freshness of okra, the tenderness of bamboo shoots, and other refined delicacies.

Lin Yan, the capital city’s Deputy Magistrate, cast his gaze at the fair-skinned and almond-shaped eyes proprietress.

Alas, how unfortunate it was for such a noble lady to find herself ensnared in the clutches of this predicament, compelled to partake in the humble trade of selling food for her livelihood...

Shen Shaoguang: Surrounded by mouth watering cuisines and exquisite wines all day, and to top it all off, there’s occasional eye candies passing by, satisfying my every need! Ah~ my life is too good to be true~

Lin Yan's expression darkened. The young people in this city seemed to be consumed by their superficial appearances, indulging in frivolous activities like c*ckfighting and dog hunting. It was high time for them to undergo a transformation and embrace more meaningful pursuits! <<less

“Witch Hazel should be executed for kidnapping!”
“You’re going to be executed for kidnapping the younger siblings of the Archduke!”
“If you execute Hazel, I will starve for the rest of my life!”

Thanks to the children, it was good that I became the nanny of them, but my employer…

‌On the long-awaited retirement day.
“What kind of potion did you use for me? No, I’d rather you use it because it’s a potion”

#Mutual attack story#
#A short story to practice writing; proceed with caution#... more>>

Ruan Baobao, the little crybaby, has a secret—
He likes his deskmate Ling Yue, a fierce and cold Omega.
In Baobao's mind, Ling Yue is super good-looking and cleaner than those Alphas.
So starting at the age of 15, Baobao makes a wish every birthday, hoping that Ling Yue will suddenly transform into Alpha and match with him 100%!
On his 18th birthday, his wish came true.
Sure enough, someone was differentiated for the second time—from Omega to Alpha.
But—
It's him!
No matter what, he became the one with the strongest mental power!
Why ? ? ?

Ruan Baobao's eyes turned red as he cried: Wuwuwuwu (onomatopoeia for crying, can be translated as 'boohoo'), from my name to my looks, I am so delicate, soft, cute, and sweet, how can I be an Alpha ne! ! !

The saddest thing is that, as an Alpha, he can no longer stay in the Omega High School and be deskmates with Ling Yue!

His family no longer calls him Baobao and asks him to change his name to Ruan Yongqiang Q_Q

He doesn't want to! ! ! !

Small theater:

1. Ruan Baobao came back from the alpha training ground crying.
He raised his reddish hand to show Ling Yue: "Ling Yue, it hurts~"
Ling Yue: "I heard that you sent four alphas into the hospital?"
Ruan Baobao: "Q_Q They called me a macho guy!!!"

2. Ruan Baobao returned home after four months of training.
Ling Yue sent a message: "Will you come out to play tomorrow?"
Baobao: "Give me one week!"
Ling Yue: "?"
Baobao: "Wuwuwuwu, I'm tanned and my flesh has stiffened. I'm too embarrassed to see you!"
Ling Yue: "...come to my house tonight."
Baobao: "? ? ? ?"

Warning! Mutual attack story!
In the main text, he does not give birth to a child, but in the extra story, he gives birth to a child (Ling Yue gave birth to a baby, but it cannot be born in the ending)

Cheng Zhi Chu was pulled into an infinite stream of horror games. If he didn’t clear them, he would die.... more>>

But can someone tell him why others clear the games using violence and force but his method of clearing the game is by kissing the boss?!

Cheng Zhi Chu: I am a straight man. Even if I kill myself or am killed by monsters, I will not kiss the boss!

Boss: Be good. Kiss me and I’ll let you go.

Bai Yi had been trapped in the game for many years.

Rather than exploding in anger in the silence, he had turned crazy. And so…….he split himself. His soul was broken into many pieces and each of them became the boss in the games.

But, regardless of how the soul was split, from the beginning to the end there was one thing that didn’t change —–He, likes Cheng Zhi Chu.

Every fragment of his soul was utterly in love with him.

It was also because of this that he and every fragment of his couldn’t stand seeing people other than himself getting close to Cheng Zhi Chu —- Even if the other party used to be a part of himself.

Dark desire gradually surged inside him.

Anyone who gets between him and Cheng Zhi Chu——even if it’s himself —– he would kill them all.

“The person who you should really kiss……is me.” <<less

"...... yes."

“Must have been hard pretending to love the enemy’s daughter.”

Annette, of royal blood and the only daughter of a military general.

After two years of passionate love, she married her father's loyal subordinate, Heiner.

The happiness she thought would last forever with her wonderful and loving husband.

Everything was perfect.
Everything seemed perfect.
Until her husband's treachery caused the downfall of her family.

"I'm divorcing you, Heiner.”

"It is not granted."

“Do you still have any use left for me? My parents are dead, the monarchy has fallen. I have nothing. Your revenge is over."

“Madam, where do you intend to go to be happy?"

“...... there is nowhere I can be happy.”

Heiner stretched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“If that's the case anyway, you'll be unhappy by my side for the rest of your life.”

Annette suddenly realized that his revenge was not over.

And that she had to break off this sickening toxic relationship with her own hands. <<less

She lost everything to one scheme, and only then did she realize that the man she had always treated with coldness and indifference was actually deeply in love with her. At the end of her life, she was left with endless, irreparable regret.

“If I am given another life, I will make every single person who owed me pay me back a hundredfold, and I will do everything within my power to ensure you a safe and happy life!”

Maybe her persistence was simply too impressive, because in the blink of an eye, she returned to a time three years ago and obtained a very special System—The Virtuous Wife System.

Was this telling her that she had been the Entertainment Queen for too long, so she should try something new and become a virtuous wife instead?

Qin Jiran: The new generation Film Emperor, handsome and domineering, a lofty male god in the eyes of countless fans.

In his entire life, he only ever loved Su Yanyi. It was a pity that she did not love him back, and even after three years of marriage together, it was all still just a contractual transaction to her.

“Yanyi, do we have to divorce?” Hidden within the man’s cold, hard expression was deep sorrow and despair.

In both her past life and her present life, their fates intertwined. Su Yanyi was reborn back to the day they were supposed to divorce.

Will she adhere to the choice she had made in her past life, or will she embark on a different path?

With the help of the Virtuous Wife System, the dense and stoic Su Yanyi set out to pamper her oblivious husband, stumbling over her own inexperience as she tried to convince him that no, he was not having auditory hallucinations, and no, she was not feeling ill!

Just, why was the first task —make him smile genuinely ten times— already so difficult? <<less
