Three years after breaking up, Ji Yao encountered his ex-boyfriend, Jiang Heng, at a bar.... more>>

Jiang Heng was known in their circle as a playboy with a vast selection of potential partners, but with one good trait—he only dated one person at a time, never cheating.

Ji Yao had originally thought of himself as just an ordinary fish in Jiang Heng’s pond, until three years later when he saw the coin used to decide heads or tails on Jiang Heng’s bedside table.

Jin Zhou was not someone to mess with. He had strong fists and understood the law. The local thugs in his area had to address him as Brother Jin. But no one knew that Jin Zhou, who feared neither heaven nor earth, had actually stumbled under someone's influence before.... more>>

Jin Zhou thought that his encounters with Yang Shi Yu were limited to passing each other in the court. Unexpectedly, one day, Yang Shi Yu would condescend to come to his territory and say to him while he was fixing a car, "Don't get involved in this case." Jin Zhou laughed and slid out from under the car, saying, "Sure, Your Honor, give me a kiss, and I won't get involved." In Jin Zhou's expectation, Yang Shi Yu would leave indifferently just like he did in the past. But things didn't unfold quite as he had predicted...

"To kill you as a villain would be a bit of a waste."
"How about it? I want to give you a chance."

No, I thought I was dead.
But was it because of what the enemy-like guy said just before I died?

‘Gerun, that son of a b*tch...!’

When I opened my eyes, it was ten years ago. And in a different world!

*

Since I've already come back to life, there’s nothing I can do about it.

To avoid repeating the foolish past,

"Give me everything from here to there."
"...You’re going to buy all of this?"

I used that enemy-like guy as my wallet,

"Well, I heard from my friends that my dear granddaughter likes shopping so much, and that you act cute, too."
"It's just because I need a wallet.
"......"

"Father, I'm going to attend a party. Can you escort me?"
"...Of course. But are you alright with me?"
"Yes. As long as you dress up nicely."
Even the once-broken family relationship was splendidly restored.

"...If I say yes, I like you, would that make things difficult for you, Roxelyn?"
"Then, how about we date for just six months?"
"...Pardon?"
The business of love, which I had once already given up on, had also started perfectly.

It was the perfect future I had hoped for...

"Rox, you also have an Abyss."

Even to someone like me who thought I was incompetent, power awakened within me.
As such...

In her youth, Yan Zhen enjoyed teasing Gu Qinghe, a flower on a high peak, seeking opportunities to approach, pluck, and claim her as her own. Whether she succeeded or not is another story.

As of now, Yan Zhen has already become a highly popular actress, unwavering in her original intention, focusing only on “picking” Doctor Gu.

She always thought her beloved was just an “ordinary person”——

A cardiothoracic surgeon, though naturally cold and ascetic, is kind and gentle, captivating those around her.

Of course, she still couldn’t make Doctor Gu’s heart flutter, which troubled Yan Zhen.

However, Gu Qinghe didn’t think it that way; she was born with the blood of a demon. Her thoughts, belonging to darkness, had long harbored the desire of tearing and consuming the other — right down to the bone. She would eliminate any threats, ensuring Yan Zhen belonged only to her.

I’m a high school student who became an author after debuting at Dengeki Bunko. After taking a year of hiatus from school to write my work, I transferred out to another high school to study, and met a girl called Eri Nitadori in school, a rookie voice actress cast as a character in the anime adaptation of my work.... more>>

In school, we treat our professions as a secret. However, Nitadori’s very popular in class, and I’m a loner…the only chance we get to talk to each other is when we take the Limited Express train together every Thursday, seated side by side as we head off for an anime, After Recording.

To improve her skills, she asked me questions regarding the profession. While I was answering the questions regarding the process–how did it end up like this.

I’m in a secret, bad romance with a love dependent student—... more>>

「Having a secret meeting with a student one is in charge of at school… Isn’t it exciting?」

The special relationship with Kirihara that no one can know about began when I took up my post at Mori Kawara High School as a teacher.

At school, she’s the serious student council president who has earned a lot of trust from other teachers, but when it’s just the two of us, she becomes mischievous, clingy, and jealous.

On weekends, I cook meals at her place, play games together, and pamper her as if we were lovers.

Unable to reject her because she knows my weakness, and despite knowing it’s wrong, we continue to pile up secrets little by little every day…

「Sensei, my feelings of liking you have grown very strong.」

As Kirihara openly confronts me with her feelings, the emotions I’ve been holding back grow even stronger.

Even though it would all be over if it were exposed, that sense of immorality ironically only accelerates things further— <<less

[Infinite Knowledge Quiz]
Question: When you return home and find a ghost resting on your bed, you rush to the door, only to hear eerie noises outside. You look out through the peephole and see another ghost preparing to open your front door. What should you do in this situation?... more>>

Among various answers like “hide in the shoe cabinet” or “hide in the kitchen,” Jie Fangcheng chooses to slowly draw his sword: first, kill the one on the bed, and then kill the one in the elevator.

***
After working diligently for 1,500 years in the underworld, Jie Fangcheng finally retired as an outstanding employee.
His kind-hearted boss asked him, “Would you like to return to the mortal world? That way, you can continue your work as a 007 agent in the underworld after a hundred and eighty years.”
Jie Fangcheng nodded in agreement.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in an infinite game.
The game, “Do Not Respond,” was renowned for its horror, bloodshed, and cruelty. The survival rate in its dungeons did not exceed thirty percent, and death in the game meant real-life death.
Mysterious mountain villages.
Terrifying fairy tale towns.
Apocalyptic Battle Royales…

As players contemplated how to survive in the dungeons, Jie Fangcheng diligently guided and redeemed each NPC.
Jie Fangcheng: “Hello, I’m a recently retired department manager… and now I’m back on the job!”

***
It is said that a newcomer has entered the game, and the dungeon they entered has never been reset.

***
It is also said that someone witnessed NPCs panicking and running around.
Player: How is that possible…

Jie Fangcheng stabbed the ghost leader with his sword, completing the redemption, and wiped his blade: “Who’s next?!”

#What kind of lousy game is this? ［Do Not Respond］but I’ll respond!

#Trying to steal people from the underworld? Did you ask us, the official personnel of the underworld?

Consumption Notes:
1. Not a leveling-focused story, starting at maximum level.
2. Attack and defense mechanics deviate from the traditional rules. The game allows for forced storyline alterations and NPC manipulation.
3. Features a significant number of supporting character perspectives, god-like viewpoint, but not a large ensemble cast. Main focus is on the protagonist and their romantic interest.

#This is a story of when one school boss meets another school boss…

Zhai Yao transferred from one rubbish school to another rubbish school, and on the very first day, he sent shockwaves through his new class, leaving his classmates utterly bewildered.

With a pale and delicate countenance and a slender figure, Zhai Yao appeared anything but the rumoured fighter who could take on ten opponents at once. Yet, the very next moment after entering the classroom, he confidently strolled to the back row, kicked a desk in the corner, and dropped his backpack on it.

The male student, who had been reading with lowered eyes, lifted his head and looked up with an indifferent expression. “Need something?” Zhai Yao glanced at the name on his book, knocked on his desk twice, and said, “Shen Xing (沈行), right? …Move aside.”

He remained utterly oblivious to the ominous hush around him—

Very well, the new student had just arrived, and on his very first day, he had already clashed with the school’s big shot.

The big shot sneered, rising to his feet. With a casual flick of his hand, he sent Zhai Yao’s backpack sailing into the rubbish bin. He corrected him, “‘Heng (珩)’.”

–

Zhai Yao and Shen Heng became desk mates.

Zhai Yao felt that his new desk mate was both devious and pretentious. Not only was he ruthless in fights, but he also always carried a book in his hands. As fate would have it, their academic standings left them ranked side by side at the bottom-most. To put it bluntly, he was nothing more than an overbearing king of pretence.

It wasn’t until one day, by a twist of fate, Zhai Yao ended up visiting Shen Heng’s home and discovered a wall decorated with certificates and awards.

Shen Heng accompanied his senile elderly grandpa. He patiently and tirelessly answered the old man’s repetitive questions while revealing his strong yet slender arms, preparing a meal consisting of three dishes and a soup.

He cast a cold glance at Zhai Yao. “Come and have dinner.”

Zhai Yao chuckled and approached, narrowing his eyes. “Tsk, you’re quite a homemaker, huh.”

Shen Heng gazed at Zhai Yao’s exposed fair neck, his eyes lingering for a moment before he averted his gaze. His earlobes betrayed a subtle blush.

–

Zhai Yao once thought that Shen Heng was a bit of a pitiful soul, implicated by the hardships of life, from being an all-around academic genius to falling into a delinquent.

To the extent that, when Shen Heng pinned him against the wall in the stairwell and even locked the door behind them, Zhai Yao still maintained a light-hearted demeanour, joking with a mindset of rescuing a wayward youth, “Want to kiss me? Wait until you break into the top 100.”

Shen Heng’s breath hitched ever so slightly, his gaze deepening with a mysterious intensity. “I’ll just get the top rank instead. Would that be enough to bed you?”

Liu Chuan came from a great family background with a well-known professor as a father and a successful businesswoman as a mother, who came from a wealthy family. What most of the world didn’t know, except for a selected few, was that he was also a first-class god in the country’s e-sports league. He had led his team to win many different competitions and was the only one in the country to lead their team to win the Annual Grand Slam. However one day, he had vanished unexpectedly and retired from the e-sports league for personal reasons. ... more>>

Later, he returned home when his school suspension period was almost over and he followed his parents’ wishes. He had to return to school to graduate and ended up having to stay at a dorm in room 301.

Those who were into games or followed the e-sports community, all know or admired various professional players. However, what they didn’t expect was that one of their gods was just within arms reach, and even more so, a first-class one too.

This is the first part of the god series. The first two parts have been finished. The plots do not affect each other.

Zheng Shu read a danmei novel with deep sadomasochistic love and was deeply impressed by a wealthy cannon fodder with the same name and surname as him.... more>>

The cannon fodder is ignorant, arrogant and domineering, and suppresses the protagonist Shou beyond his means, and finally ends up being broken by the protagonist's gong.

In Zheng Shu's view, this is completely avoidable!

Because the young master has a domineering ex-husband, who was appointed by his father to be a business elite to manage the huge Zheng Group for him, and he is the only character that the protagonist in the book fears!

It's a pity that the young master left him for a little star.

A car accident caused Zheng Shu to become this cannon fodder, and in the bright and clean CEO's office, he wanted to divorce the big boss.

……hehe.

He grabbed the divorce agreement and sent it directly into the shredder. He hugged his wife's golden thigh with embarrassment, and said affectionately: "Honey, I don't think our relationship has broken down, we can still fix it."

The original owner is so s*upid, but he is not s*upid, he is the winner in life if he lies flat, what more fancy things are needed?

Not only will he, not divorce, but he will also be a good husband. <<less

Before his near-death, Chi Shen entered an infinite game.... more>>

He vanquished tens of thousands of malevolent spirits, dodged covert and overt attacks from countless players, and finally emerged victorious.

Before leaving the game, he set two simple goals for himself:

1.Find a job.

2.Be a better person.

The first goal was a cinch. Matching his expertise, Chi Shen effortlessly landed a job as a horror game designer. He joyfully went to work, sneakily slacked off, casually adjusted the company’s feng shui, exorcised spirits for colleagues, and even… occasionally took on the role of proxy head for several prominent spiritual clans.

But the second goal proved challenging. The love from his adoptive parents he once longed for, the recognition from his birth parents, and even the family’s exclusive exorcism techniques – all came pouring in. The imposter, who had once led him to his demise and obstructed his return to the family, was now kneeling, sobbing uncontrollably, begging for his life.

Chi Shen glanced at his birth family’s home, the debts of blood accumulated by the prominent spiritual clan, and the lost souls in the hands of the imposter. With a smile, he retracted his hand, “Do not disturb my daily life. This is your only warning.” Within his shadow, a catastrophic spirit opened its blood-red eyes, gazing at everyone, and slowly unveiled a menacing grin. <<less

Zhai Xingchen has transmigrated into a novel about a rich and powerful love variety show. Almost all of the 8 guests have a combination of beauty and wealth, which can be called the pinnacle of a love variety show.... more>>

For example, guest No. 1 is notorious and cold. Everyone has to avoid him. He has only been interested in financial data in his life, but he has an extremely handsome face. A casual smile can make people blush and walk. He is the master of the Future Business Empire, and he can swipe his bank card at will.

Guest No. 2, a straight boss with evil charm, height 191, male dog waist, shark muscle, the son of luck who will be famous in the world. Now he is still starting his own business, but he will suddenly become rich in a year, and become the owner of a listed company at a young age.

Guest No. 3, a gentleman who is aloof and abstinent, his shirt is always buttoned to the top. Although extremely clean, he actually has a twisted and fiery heart. And he is a well-known domestic e-sports ace.

The other guests are all rich second-generation, such as the enthusiastic and gorgeous queen Bottom, the restrained and temperamental high-level intellectual Bottom, the mature and dignified Bottom and so on.

But Zhai Xinchen is the nobody in this romance novel. He does the most work and gets the fewest shots. He has never received a Touched Message from beginning to end. He is a complete nerd. Ah, this persona suits him so well!

Zhai Xingchen is determined to be the little match, to burn himself and illuminate other guests.

When someone was hurt by the indifference of guest No. 1, he comforted: “It’s only because of his unfortunate childhood that he was so dark. Don’t you want to be his only light?”

When everyone thought that guest No. 2 was too greasy and domineering, he explained: “Don’t you think he is full of the spirit of a king? He will definitely achieve something in the future, I am optimistic about him!”

As for the guest No. 3: “He looks so cold and abstinent, don’t you want to tear his shirt off?”

Thanks to his efforts, the show really exploded.

Guest No. 1: “He is my only light.”

Guest No. 2: “Only he understands me best.”

Guest No. 3: “What I thought in my heart, even if I say it, it will be banned from broadcasting.”

Four five six seven guests: “I love him.”

Zhai Xingchen: “…Ah?”

When the show first aired, netizens said, “I don’t think the guests seem to be in love.”

Later: “Every episode is a jealous Shura field, so exciting!”

“This is too damn sweet! My little face is flushed.” <<less

Little screenwriter Gu Nian has a secret. She was a big fan of an 18th-tier actor by the name of Luo Xiu.... more>>

Luo Xiu was good looking but his acting was awful. He had no work for 2 years, the one time that he was on a show, he was mocked to the point that even his own mother wouldn’t admit that he was her son.

As such, he dropped straight to 18th tier.

Gu Nian, on the other hand, was determined to become a gold medal screenwriter and had him be her dedicated male supporting character.

Luo Xiu had a loyal fan. Ever since his debut, she did everything that a fan would — wait for him at airports, vote for him online, and wave banners of his. Other fans would waver back and forth but this girl remained his loyal fan for two straight years.

Once she was drunk after they have met each other, she patted him on his shoulder, cried and said, “Son, its okay that you are not backed by big bosses! When Mommy become a gold-medal screenwriter, I will back you!”
