The Duchess of Farrens is a prominent noble family that supports the backbone of the Kingdom of Istoward.... more>>

Elaine Farrens, the duchess of Farrens, after her misdeeds and attempted usurpation of the country, finally died, her life taken by her own daughter.

In her dying moments, her high pride was finally broken, and she truly regretted what she had done, but it was all in vain.

She immediately realised that it was useless to try to understand her situation in such a situation, and decided to face the life in front of her, thinking about it after the birth for now. <<less

Ji Xiao Zhenren wielded his divine power, splitting mountains and parting seas, penetrating the heavens and the earth, known as the 'First Sword of Han Shan'.... more>>

Fellow cultivators respected him, disciples admired him, and demon cultivators feared him. If it weren't for his ignorant, incompetent, and inconsiderate Dao companion, he would have been almost perfect.

Meng Xueli's talent in cultivation was mediocre; he lacked a refined and ethereal demeanor and had never cultivated seductive skills. He was merely an ordinary beauty. The cultivation world was not short of beauty; being ordinary was almost synonymous with being tacky.

Ji Xiao unexpectedly took a liking to such a tacky Meng Xueli, revealing that cultivation does not necessarily elevate one from having bad tastes. His aesthetic judgment was indeed questionable.

It wasn't until the untimely demise of Ji Xiao Zhenren that Meng Xueli, at a young age, found himself widowed.

With the upheaval in the sect and enemies knocking at the door, chaos ensued. Eventually, with the collapse of the tree, the monkeys scattered, and the collapse of the wall, everyone pushed... pushed, but they couldn't move?! <<less

The Demon Slayer World and Demon Realm have recently been abuzz with a rumor: Yu Huai and Xu Yinian have crossed paths again. ... more>>

Five years ago, the Yu family met with unexpected disaster. As a result, Yu Huai was forced to escape into the Demon Burial Grounds that no one had ever dared step foot in. Everyone assumed he would die there, yet he ended up using merely two years to walk out of that hellhole of corpses and blood. Not only did his powers increase exponentially, but his conduct was now even more unbridled: Yu Huai had slaughtered an entire demon clan that he shared enmity with, leaving nothing behind, not even the ashes.

Such perverse behavior stirred both worlds into a widespread discussion, but it had to be noted that during this god of fury’s schooling years, he had for a time been in a pure and innocent campus romance.

Back then, Yu Huai and Xu Yinian could be considered as a pair of love birds known by all; they had even had an early engagement. However, when the Yu family met with calamity, Xu Yinian ruthlessly dumped Yu Huai, breaking off the engagement between them and becoming the classic example of a heartless soul.

Five years later, they met again. The joint forum had long been filled with a mountain of posts. A great deal of analysis later, everyone had come to the conclusion that according to Yu Huai’s typical style, Xu Yinian would at the very least be stripped of a layer of his skin if he were to ever fall into Yu Huai’s hands.

This was the consensus until one certain day, when a post had quietly made its way to the first page of the joint forum. “Are my eyes deceiving me? The person Yu Huai is hugging is Xu Yinian?!”

–

Xu Yinian had always possessed a little shortcoming. As a demon slayer who honed the art of electricity, whenever his emotions got the better of him, his powers would overflow. This was also known as an electricity leak.

When their paths crossed again five years later, Yu Huai attempted to correct this habit but encountered repeated failures. In the end, he could only tease him. “Just one simple kiss and you shock me. Are you a hedgehog?”

The tip of Xu Yinian’s ears burned up as he brazened it out. “How about you… try kissing me twice?” <<less

Takenaka Asahi, third year high school.

Right as we entered high school, the relationship that I thought would last forever… fell apart.

Trying to console my own heart, I forced myself to think that it was nothing but a fleeting immature love for three whole years.

"... I didn't do it for anything ," Fu Yan gazed ahead, oblivious to his own abnormality, and continued to answer the question Liu Ruosong had posed earlier, "If I had to say, it's so that you can still take pictures in places you'll like in the future."

He said it casually, but it wasn't until much later that Liu Ruosong learned that behind this "promise" was a solid sixteen years lost in the crevices of time for Fu Yan.

"Fu, on this special day, do you have any birthday wishes?"

"I want to watch the sunset with you, does that count?"

Yu Yue is a little prince. At the age of sixteen, he went to a barbecue shop outside of school with his classmates. There, he saw a boy working, dressed in black, with slightly long hair tied behind his head. His features were unbelievably attractive.

Yu Yue quietly asked someone who he was, and they told him that the person’s name was Xu Yuanzhe. After getting to know Xu Yuanzhe, Yu Yue has been enduring a tough life. His birthdays weren’t celebrated by celebrities, and his tiny 40-square-meter house was in a terrible state. The bathroom light was never fixed, and the windows never closed properly. Yu Yue thought he would eventually run away from Xu Yuanzhe. But he didn’t. He only grew to love Xu Yuanzhe more.

Until one day, Yu Yue felt like Xu Yuanzhe suddenly didn’t love him anymore.

Xu Yuanzhe was a poor boy who worked part-time at the barbecue shop outside of school. When he saw Yu Yue coming to eat at the shop, he fell in love at first sight.

In that moment, Xu Yuanzhe finally understood what true regret meant. <<less

Jae-hee took a sip of hot coffee. I can't sleep when caffeine goes into my body.... more>>

"Have you finished drinking?"
"Yes."
"Good job."

Jung-hoo smiled. The sound of him putting the mug on the table was especially loud. Then he stood up and approached Jaehee while loosening his tie.

"You're... now..."
"I'm not going to let senior sleep tonight."

With her eyes wide open, she looked at Jung-hoo nearing her.

"What are you doing?"
"Don't you usually scream? Aren't you going to scream?"
"Get out of the way, don't mess with me."

When he touched her lips, the lips suddenly opened and Jae-hee was surprised and tried to let go of his hand. However, Jung-hoo grabbed Jae-hee's hand and pressed it against his lower lip.

"I kept thinking about you."

His moving tongue touched Jae-hee's blunt calluses on the tips of her nails slightly. The hand holding her own was a fine hand without any callus. She was suddenly bothered by her calloused hand that was being held.

"What are you thinking about? I'm still speaking."

White teeth bit her itchy finger.

"Ugh..."
"Sleep with me. Sunbae just nod your head. I'll take care of the rest."

As I lowered my head gently, I could feel his black eyes examining my actions one by one. <<less

“You tamed me, Lili. You have to take responsibility.”

He bound her hands so she wouldn’t move. Before she knew it, Verkley’s lips touched Eliana’s fingertips.

From her fingertips to the back of her hand, his lips trailed kisses as if he were leaving a trace.

His eyes were fixed on Eliana the entire time.

With an unreadable expression, he pulled Eliana’s arm.

And closed the distance between them.

Then growled low with an insidious smile.
