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...

Shen Fengyue was a senior back office staff member of Jinjiang harmony Co., Ltd. because of an accident in the company, he was transferred to the task department to deal with bugs.... more>>

Shen Fengyue rubbed his hands, “Eliminate bugs? Easy, let me do it! ”

However,

The first world——

At the beginning, Shen Fengyue entered the campus world just like a hero stepping on colorful auspicious clouds, saving a little cutie who was being bullied on the campus. The little cutie was soft, adorable, and easy to tease. When Shen Fengyue was happily playing with him, the little cutie showed his hidden fangs.

The double personality cutie smiled softly, “Come on, baby.”

Shen Fengyue, “?!”

The second world——

Shen Fengyue re-entered the dream world. He refused to believe in evil, so he devoted himself to protecting the handsome and kind-hearted dumb youth. He tried his best to escape from the crazy, ugly woman, and when he thought he was assured of victory, the dumb boss’s backhand was a flag inserted into him, with the words “I am behind the scenes” shining brightly.

Shen Fengyue, “…”

The third world ——

Shen Fengyue learned from his previous experiences and didn’t save people indiscriminately after crossing into the next world. However, just when he was picking up a piece of garbage, he was saved by a hero.

He was extremely grateful and tried to express his gratitude.

The mermaid boss raised the corner of his lips, “It’s not enough to say thank you when you can repay my gratitude with your body.”

"University Professor x Beautiful Forensic Doctor... more>>

 Often gentle, occasionally assertive top x a dedicated career lover who is slightly insecure bottom.

 Shen Xun was arranged for another blind date. Before the date, Shen's mother repeatedly advised him, 'Don't scare your date away by saying you're a forensic doctor the moment you meet. First, tell them you're a civil servant, someone within the system. Remember that.' 

On the day of the blind date, a handsome man arrived. From his looks to his fashion, he perfectly met Shen Xun's aesthetic standards. So Shen Xun went blank and said, 'I'm a forensic doctor within the system.' ... Oops, he messed up.

 But unexpectedly, the handsome man smiled and said, 'Actually, I'm a university professor of law. In our professions, we both have the word "law" in common.' 

Shen Xun felt like he and Meng Yuan Cen were from two different worlds. Meng Yuan Cen was clean, had a respectable job, didn't need to deal with corpses that were bloody, decaying, and smelly every day, and didn't have a partner on standby 24/7 during his time off.

 However, Meng Yuan Cen believed that he and Shen Xun saw two sides of the same world. It was only after they got together that they discovered the whole world.

In the last exam before summer vacation for his 2nd year of High School, “Troublemaker” Yu Sheng from the terrifying Central Third High jinxes himself into the place where the cream of the crop gathers — The Provincial Interhigh Summer Camp.

Because of his face, he was picked to be the partner of the neighbouring Province Point High School’s No. 1.

The night before their finals, the undefeatable Young Master Yu who has never blanched before speaks up. He hurtles tonnes of tr*sh-talk at the No. 1 Home Tutor who slams the door on him—

You were almost late to the exam!

You almost forgot to shade your MCQ!

You nearly got off-topic in your essay!

You can only score 50 points more than the city’s No. 2 at most!

The dead broke small streamer Zong Qi received a random message one day.... more>>

[Congratulations! You have received Alpha access to the system, Horror Film Director. Signing actors with potential, come and shoot the film that fits you the best!]
Zong Qi: ? tr*sh commercial, deleted

That night, he got pulled onto the set of a horror film and was informed that if he didn’t shoot it… He’ll die.

He was lucky that the actors were all working as hard as they could, and the director only needed to stand around and watch the show.

But because he had been given way too much, Zong Qi didn’t hesitate at all before making his own changes.

Under his false identity was an ‘evil mastermind’ that fought with the actors on everything.

The immoral things he’s done on set include but aren’t limited to–

Personally putting makeup on the ghost, teaching actors how to mess and change the script, exposing himself at crucial times…

People as arrogant as him usually don’t have good endings when their identities were revealed.

What Zong Qi didn’t expect was that instead of the actors joining up for revenge, an unlucky bastard’s whose plans had been spoilt by him countless times appeared instead.

The man took off his glasses, revealing a pair of closed eyes, his face beautiful and cold.

The brush dipped in paint hooked past the young man’s neck, full of danger.

“You dirtied my brush.”

He smirked, drawling, “As punishment, I’ll dirty you.” <<less

Yao Jinxi likes spring. This is because after spring, the weather becomes warmer. His favourite new tea would also be on the market by then.... more>>

It was also in the mild and rainy spring season that he was forced to take care of Wu Yang, a strange and troublesome guy.

Hence, spring is a suitable time for the story to begin.

Regarding the attributes of gong and shou, it’s hard to say at first. But probably:

Yao Jinxi: Are you saying that this guy is schizophrenic?

Wu Yang: In fact, Jinxi is very cute. Despite his temper, which is worse than the way he looks. Despite him liking to sleep in and being picky with what he eats. And despite him refusing to wash the dishes after cooking… He is really cute.

Yao Jinxi: … Are you really my CP?

Sorry. CP is Wu Yang (gong) X Yao Jinxi (shou)

… I wish you happiness. Amen.

This story strives to be warm and healing. Although there is some dog blood, entanglement and hypocrisy, I still swear that it’ll be as warm as spring breeze_(:з」∠)_ <<less

After waking up again, Cheng Chu returned to the high school era. She discovered that the autistic and stuttering boy in the class turned out to be her newlywed husband, the big businessman in the future.

She wants to compensate him well.

* In high school, Cheng Chu was the dream of many boys. Gu Miao stayed hidden in the darkness, knowing that he was unworthy of her, but the delusion in his heart still grew like weeds.

He thought it was a bitter and hopeless crush after all. Until that afternoon, when the bright sunshine flooded the classroom, the girl stood at his desk and asked with a smile: “Will you sit at the same table with me?” *

** ” Mr. Gu Miao, would you like to marry Ms. Cheng Chu? Love her and be loyal to her, no matter if she is poor, sick, or disabled, until death.” the pastor asked on the stage.

Zheng Shuyi’s ex-boyfriend cheated on her, and the other women’s uncle drove an eye-catching Rolls-Royce Phantom, with an arrogant straight numerical license plate number.... more>>

A few days after they broke up, Zheng Shuyi saw the unforgettable Rolls-Royce Phantom outside of the State Banquet Hotel.

Thinking of the scumbag and the white lotus flying away from her, she felt distressed.

Want to save 20 years of hard work? Don’t even think about it!

Do you still regard me as a relative? Well, sure. I’ll just be your aunt!

You’ll be forced to treat me with respect even when you feel so full of yourself.

At that moment, with self-fulfilling confidence, Zheng Shuyi tapped on the back seat window of the Rolls-Royce Phantom with a gentle smile on her face.

The car window slowly rolled down, and the young man looked over with his charming eyes behind his glasses.

Zheng Shuyi was quite shocked by the appearance. She thought to herself, the white lotus doesn’t look that good, but her uncle sure is handsome.

A few months later, Zheng Shuyi took the man’s hand and sat affectionately in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce. When she saw the scum and the white lotus, she hooked her fingers arrogantly to tell them to come closer.

“Shouldn’t you at least greet your elder?”

The white lotus’ face was pale. She moved over slowly and called out to the driver, “Hi, uncle.”

Zheng Shuyi: “……?” <<less

Later, Lin Xingling buys Cheng Che back to the team with his own wife's dowry and five million yuan scraped together.

Hottest reply: "It's safe. Just cover yourself with a blanket and sleep tight."

After one month with the team, Cheng Che becomes unstoppable in the league, but he feels intimidated by Lin Xingling alone and asks for help: "How can I appear obedient in front of others?"

Hottest reply: "Be yourself, and you'll be the most obedient cub."

After one season with the team, Cheng Che wins the Autumn Championship in the professional esports arena, and he asks: "How can I make the man I live with (love) me?"

Hottest reply: "Take a shower and go to bed."

Following the advice, Cheng Che takes a shower and waits for his captain in bed. However, Lin Xingling tucks him in and leaves without fulfilling his expectations.

"What should I do if my husband doesn't love me anymore?"

Hottest reply: "Cute cub, you're too young for me to do anything, but believe me, I really love you..." (Click to load more)

He spends all his savings to buy back the future top marksman, hoping to lie back and let him carry. However, he realizes something is off when he sees the way the child looks at him...

Until one day, the child sits on the bed, all clean and innocent, and Lin Xingling can no longer bear it. He turns around and leaves him alone in the room.

Child: "What should I do if my husband doesn't love me anymore?"

In his response, Lin Xingling reveals his true feelings, only to find Cheng Che standing behind him.

Cheng Che: "You bought me with your wife's dowry, so I am your wife."

Lin Xingling chuckles lightly: "If you were a few years older, I would have..."

But the child furrows his brows: "You're lying. Three years later, you're still not with me."

Lin Xingling: "???"

You have a new question waiting for an answer:

"What should I do if I realize the person I've been raising as a cub from my childhood, is also someone who has been reborn?"

In these villains and extras’ novels, it is the standard to help, whether it is the female lead, male lead, or villain.

I know the original, too; since it’s like this, should I try to seduce the duke to avoid the death flag?

‘I like the Duke as he is.’

Hearing this, this guy came to her in the middle of the night while covered in blood.

‘You said you like me the way I am. I love you too, you will never… You won’t leave me, right?’

Phew, you’re hopeless.

Just die.

But…

“You’re a kid with no blood or tears.”

“Argh! I’m sorry!”

“Where else are you going to disappear and hide?”

“……….”

“I tell you, no matter where you hide on this damned empire, there’s nowhere I can’t find you,” the Duke said, but it was not scary at all when he threatened me with such an insecure and desperate face. <<less
