I reincarnated as the villainess, Eliana Mussieux, who was killed by the scheming Emperor.... more>>

Rather than do nothing and die according to the novel, I planned a path to survival by seeking him out.

But . . . something’s not right?

I haven’t done anything yet, but the Emperor started to cling onto me first.

“Don’t go.”

Verkley grabbed Eliana’s collar. His gaze was entirely focused on her. Then, he whispered imploringly once more.

“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.

“If you go, I’ll kill that bastard.” <<less

Liu Ruosong had known Fu Yan for twenty-seven years, and he had never associated the words "savior of the world" with him—until one day he woke up from a dream, turned his head, and saw his lover, separated by the boundary between life and death, standing right beside him.... more>>

"... 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?"

Many years later, on a rainy night. Shu Nian met Xie Ruhe again. ... more>>

The man was sitting in a wheelchair, half of his face was covered by shadows and he had a set of peach blossom eyes with deep double eyelids. He obviously had a passionate face but his expression was as cold as ice.

Shu Nian held her umbrella and called out to him in uncertainty. Then, she said. “Did you not bring an umbrella? How about I—”

Xie Ruhe’s eyes drooped, he didn’t finish listening to her and went straight into the light rain.

Later, Shu Nian came out of the bakery holding a kraft paper bag. In a blink of an eye, the rain had turned heavy, pounding on the concrete floor.

Xie Ruhe appeared from nowhere, holding an umbrella as he stood beside her. Seeing her look over to him, he asked. “Do you have an umbrella?”

Shu Nian nodded and took out an umbrella from her bag. The next moment, Xie Ruhe stretched out his hand to close his umbrella and blankly said: “Mine is broken.”

They met in their teenage years, two bright stars colliding in the night sky. They fell in love, and together they passed the happiest days of their lives. But all good things must come to an end, and they eventually broke up.

Time passed, and they lost contact. They grew up apart, each going their own way. But even though they were apart, they never forgot their first love.

One day, they met again by chance. They were both on blind dates, and they found themselves sitting across from each other. They were both surprised by how much they had changed. They were no longer the carefree teenagers they once were. They had grown up, and they had experienced the pain of loss and heartbreak.

But would they be able to go back to where they started from? Could they pick up where they left off, ten years later?

Just as Jiang Zhige was about to die, he unexpectedly awakened the Life Memory Editing System which, as its name implies, could rewrite Demon Emperor's past and reveal it to the world.

As a result, parts of heart-wrenching memories appeared on the light curtain projecting in front of the world, laid bare for everyone to watch.

"Rou'er, you must always remember, be a beggar rather than a s*ave. As long as I'm still alive, I will never let you become a s*ave or a maid."

"Ziyan, if it is for you, I have nothing to lose in becoming a demon. What's the harm in being an enemy of the world?"

“Hi, I’m Diana!”

Just then, Diana, the youngest princess of the Duke of Elrad, appeared before me.

In order not to repeat the bitter regrets of my past life, I took care of Diana, and I was going to send this lovely daughter to the Duke of Elrad… but wasn’t she too nice to me?

“Sister! You’re really pretty! My princess! I’ll protect you!”

Then, Diana never wanted to leave me even just for a second,

“Am I an adult that you can’t rely on?”

“I’m sure I’ve warned you that men’s appearance isn’t everything!!”

Of course, the Duke of Elrad and his second son, who were known as indifferent to everyone except their family.

“I told you not to leave my side without my permission.”

Even the first son of the Duke, who’s famous for being cold, was acting strange!

──A strong shock to the head.... more>>

This is my only memory, and the reason why is that I have no prior memories is because I have amnesia. I woke up in my hospital room, and when some visitors came to visit me, I realized something.

I have three girlfriends.

Each of my three girlfriends is unique and attractive in her own way. Asuka Minato, a childhood friend who always takes care of me. Saki Arisugawa, a charismatic model in the same class, and Hina Fueno, an introverted otaku junior with a small-animal-like appearance, who was proclaiming herself as a fan of mine for some reason (?)

I have three girlfriends, I have no memory of my past, and my school life begins with a state of unbelievable anxiety.

Qi Han: “If you win, what reward do you want?”

Fu Ge: “I want a temporary mark, the kind with the pheromones injected.”

Qi Han: “What if you lose?”

Fu Ge: “If I lose, I’ll use these twenty prayer flags to pray for you, and Ah Han will always be safe.”

That night the Alpha marked him eagerly and fiercely all over the back of his glandless neck, and Fu Ge took it for granted that his lover loved him too.

He never expected that eight months later, Qi Han would put the chains on him with his own hands, sneering, “You didn’t really think I liked you, did you? You and your love are worth nothing to me.”

Blinded by years of hatred, Qi Han thought that Fu Ge was using him from beginning to end, until the moment the truth came out and he was so sorry that his heart broke.

Five years later, they met again after a long time. Faced with Fu Ge’s drastic change in character, Qi Han—

“Wife, the pheromones are ready, do you want to use them now?”

“Wife, do you want to unplug my oxygen tube? Be careful not to leave fingerprints.”

“Wife, see this little box? Till death do us part, let’s sleep in this big bed together, okay?”

Fu Ge: “Go die, you.”

One regrets to death, the other hates to death.

Xu Tangzhou lost his memory. He always dreamed of an unfamiliar Alpha who made his legs go weak, and his dreams caused one to be red in the face.... more>>

One day, he saw the Alpha he dreamed of on TV. Apparently, the other party was a huge celebrity called Ling Che.

Not long after, he debuted and his manager said that he wanted to find someone to guide him.

After meeting Ling Che, Xu Tangzhou’s facial expression was indifferent. “Oh.”

Xu Tangzhou’s inner thoughts: Ahhhhhhhhhh he’s so hot!

Four years ago, Ling Che’s Omega disappeared overnight and thoroughly broke up with him.

Four years later, Ling Che had already become the king of the music industry. He met the partner who was newly assigned to him by his company for a business couple.

That newcomer was called Xu Tangzhou.

The manager smiled obsequiously. “Our Zhou Zhou looks like a cold beauty but beneath the surface, he’s exceptionally pure.”

Ling Che coldly laughed. “You want me to guide him? Maybe in the next life.”

That night, the cold beauty that was exceptionally pure beneath the surface appeared in front of Ling Che’s room door.

He was clean and fresh, and he loosely wore a bathrobe with a wide collar.

The next day, the sweetest CP in the history of the entertainment industry was born. <<less

The two were going home side by side in the moist ambiance of the rain when their eyes met unexpectedly.

They had already been dating for quite some time… so she couldn’t resist and had s*x with him.

She only learned later that when it came to making love with her boyfriend in private, once there was a first time, there was bound to be a second time.

At the age of 17 or 18 in senior high, when she was secretly in love and deeply moved, the s*xual desire she felt just from looking at him was like the appetite during hunger; one you couldn’t suppress no matter what.

From childhood to adulthood, Luo Zhi didn’t seem to have done anything right.... more>>

His biological parents didn’t like him. They only saw an excellent eldest brother, a caring sister, and a sensible stepson in their eyes. The sister whom is well-behaved towards everyone else, only treats him as air. The childhood friend that he grew up with would accept his gifts on the surface, only to turn around and throw it to the stray dogs on the roadside.

When he debuted as a singer, it was not gifts that he received, but countless of threatening letters scolding him for using his family background to oppress others and threatening him to quit the circle. He started his own film and television company, and spent money to hire an eighteenth-tier star to say “Happy Birthday” to him. When the little star unexpectedly exploded into the top stream, it was regarded as a robbery by fans, and it was picked up and scolded all the way to the hot search. The family accidentally fell overboard, and Luo Zhi was immersed in the bone-chilling ice cold water. He could only watch as his always indifferent eldest brother eagerly stretch out his hand to save his adopted brother.

When he was completely engulfed by the darkness, Luo Zhi finally felt that the world was really dull. If there was someone who can love him, let them appear. He wasn’t able to find them anyways.

After waking up in the hospital, he leaned back against the bed. He didn’t care current state of health nor did he care about the treatment. He was no longer interested in anything. But this time, everything was different.

His parents kept going to top hospitals and begged countless doctors just to save his life. The eldest brother’s eyes were red while he took care of him. His sister cried to the point of fainting by his bedside.

With scarlet eyes and fierce methods, he frantically took revenge on the eighteenth-tier star who slandered him at the beginning. He was inexplicably on the hot search once again, but this time the entry became #The whole world is waiting for Luo Zhi to come back#.

Later, the whole world did not wait for Luo Zhi.

However, someone familiar with the matter revealed that the Ming family, who built an entire maritime business empire and sank a top-level luxury cruise ship worth hundreds of billions of yuan, not only has another young master, but also the youngest captain who sails the world. <<less
