Once upon a time, there was a makeup artist who possessed outstanding skills and top-notch aesthetic judgement. When he did makeup for various stars, he could embellish sharpness onto the smooth vases that lacked edges, and he could make models who exceeded the boundaries of aesthetics to appear delicate and soft, more approachable to people.... more>>

Male stars loved to request him, for he had a thorough understanding of masculine charm in particular, and the makeup he did was never garishly slathered in oils or powders, instead exuding a natural, dashing air of elegance.

Female stars loved to request him, for not only was he excellent in his skills, he was also everyone’s closest confidant; when they chatted, he could easily hold any conversation, and his mouth would be tightly sealed, never allowing anyone’s privacy to slip out.

Although this person was quite young, after getting by in the makeup industry the past few years, he was virtually considered as a distinguished personality in his profession, and would be referred to as a ‘master’ wherever he went.

But he had a terrifying secret. He needed to carefully tread on thin ice and couldn’t expose even the slightest traces; otherwise, nobody would invite him to work ever again, and nobody would apply to the classes he led anymore.

—He was a straight man. <<less

Miss Song, the cemetery keeper in Changping District, found a man on the roadside while returning home from her night shift.... more>>

He wore a white shirt and a suit, and was covered in bruises.

With broad shoulders, a slim waist, a well-defined chest and a firm buttocks, he was exceptionally handsome.

The next day, yawning, Song Zhixiang pushed the door open and saw the man in the suit wrapping a bandage around his arm and wearing an apron to make breakfast for her.

The scarred and lean waist was covered with plasters, bruises, and the marks she left from pinching him, all mixed together.

Song Zhixiang hugged her arms and urged him to leave: "Aren't you leaving yet?"

He said, "Miss Song, we've slept in the same bed."

She replied nonchalantly, "How much do you want?"

He said solemnly, "According to my family's tradition, I must marry you."

Song Zhixiang: "...Huh?"

-

One day later, Miss Song felt his abs and sighed at how peculiar her cemetery job was, allowing her to easily pick up a pure and unaffected male fox spirit.

He had a fever and held her hand, saying, "Wife, give me a kiss."

(A humorous and cute passage)... more>>

Despite being a nobody dressed in second-hand clothes and often unlucky, Chu Yu had a powerful advantage that made her feel great.

The male protagonist in the original book, Long Aotian, was currently illiterate. By becoming his junior sister, Chu Yu could benefit from his luck and extend her lifespan.

Meanwhile, the villain in the original book, who would eventually become the Demon Emperor, was currently just a foolish youngster who wanted to cause chaos in the world of cultivation. By tricking him into becoming her senior brother, Chu Yu could also benefit from his connections in the demon realm.

However, due to some unexpected events, Chu Yu found herself bound to a blood oath with the tragic cannon fodder of the original story. There was a hint of ambiguity in their relationship. He is incredibly attractive and would often say things like “I guard my body like a piece of jade, pure and untainted.”

Chu Yu nodded in agreement and replied, “Yes, I will always remember my mission and never forget my original intention!”

She worked hard to persuade him to join her in making their sect stronger and more powerful.

Since he was born, Pei Xingzhi had been entrusted with great responsibilities by his family. At the age of three, he started practicing with a sword regardless of the harsh winter weather, and he became well-versed in various types of literature.

At the age of sixteen, Pei Xingzhi became the next head of the Pei family. He was as fierce as the morning sun, with a sturdy and upright posture. He could easily defeat many talented individuals and was about to become the next Holy Son of the Ye Continent.

But he never expected that everything was a lie. His background was fake, his education was fake, and he was only a tool to be used for gaining power and influence.

When he was close to death, Pei Xingzhi pulled on the black collar around his neck, which he had worn since he was a child. He realized that it was not a protective talisman but a soul-breaking curse. Once he removed it, his soul would disappear.

He looked down in shame and muttered, “So they raised me like a dog, a dog that would bite people.”

A warm hand touched his collar, and a young girl said, “Brother, your collar is quite stylish! It’s really popular now!”

“Brother, I made ten thousand of these collars overnight and sold them at the Daoist s*x shop for one thousand spirit stones each! Everyone wants one!”

“Oh, and one more thing, Brother. I really like this collar. It’s forbidden and exciting, and it matches your fair skin perfectly. You look so handsome with it on!”

Pei Xingzhi remained silent.

(This is a passage about the journey of four silly friends who have been inseparable since they met. It features a lively and clever girl from a parallel world and a cold and melancholic male protagonist known as the “bitter melon spirit.”)
