Physically confronting your abusive superior might be cool and satisfying when it happens in a drama, but, as Kazuo Sugishita is learning, it isn't as cool when you’re sitting at home afterwards, terrified to learn how you’ll be punished when you return to work the next day.... more>>

The sentence he faces sounds surprisingly lenient – just a temporary reassignment to the company’s entertainment department while things blow over. But he changes his mind when he gets the specifics: Kazuo has been assigned as manager-in-training (read “servant”) to Shiro Hoshizono, the “Star Watcher”: A pompous, showoff-y, completely insufferable talent with no actual talents except using his sickeningly sweet words and foreign model looks to seduce lonely middle aged women into paying for the privilege of hearing him speak.

The day after his new assignment, Kazuo and Hoshizono leave for Saitama Prefecture, where Hoshizono has been recruited to become an image character for a campground in the mountains, alongside a group of other colorful characters, including a romance novelist with the looks of Cleopatra but the personality of someone’s grandpa and a UFO obsessed conspiracy theorist.

But the morning after their arrival, their host is found strangled to death in his lodge, the road back is buried in an avalanche, and… you can probably see where this is going.

Turns out, despite how he comes across normally, Hoshizono is actually a genius detective!

The novel features a unique chapter naming scheme where each chapter is titled as a three to four sentence summary of its own contents, focused upon what information about the case is discovered and what evidence appears, for ease of reference.

To get her internship certificate stamped, Ding Lei used connections to get into her cousin-in-law's company.... more>>

To her embarrassment, her cousin-in-law's daughter, Xi Zhen, seemed to have a problem with her.

Several times, while Ding Lei was still hesitating whether to greet her, she saw Xi Zhen walk away quickly with a cold expression.

Fortunately, the internship period required by the school was only six months. Once the time was up, she could get her stamp and leave.

*

To ensure Ding Lei had a ride to and from work, their elders arranged for her and Xi Zhen to live together.

Their initially awkward cohabitation gradually took on a different flavor.

The woman who initially avoided her began to have an increasingly strong presence in Ding Lei's work and personal life.

"Duoduo, I have a document here. Come and get it."

"Stay for dinner? I can't finish all this by myself." The dishes laid out were all Ding Lei's favorites, and chopsticks were already thoughtfully handed to her.

*

On the last day of her internship.

"Director Xi, these are the documents that need your approval and stamp."

"So happy? Did something good happen?"

"My internship certificate is stamped! Once these are done, I won't have to come anymore!"

After the documents were processed, she was pressed against the desk, and the woman whispered in her ear, "Where should the other stamp go?"

Ding Lei, blushing and annoyed, covered her mouth and threatened weakly, "You, if you do this again, I'll tell Sister Yongmei!"

Xi Zhen smiled, "Tell her what? That I'm being insubordinate?"

*

The perennially unchanged archives department added a new position, and on the same day, an intern joined, accompanied by the HR Director.

The intern, Ding Lei, was sweet, cute, well-behaved, and soft-spoken. In contrast, Young Director Xi Zhen was aloof and formidable; no one dared to make mistakes under her supervision.

Gossip is human nature. Everyone felt this newcomer with connections had a significant background. Some even speculated she was the CEO's illegitimate daughter, Young Director Xi's half-sister (from a different mother).

However, the two looked nothing alike and their styles were polar opposites, so discerning people scoffed at the latter speculation.

After it was noticed that intern Ding Lei and Xi Zhen were never seen in the same place, the illegitimate daughter rumors intensified.

Until someone witnessed the intern sitting in Young Director Xi's passenger seat in the garage, car door ajar, the two kissing passionately.

Huh? Can blood sisters do that?

So, not sisters, but lovers? Were they avoiding each other all along to keep it secret???

The rumors took a 180-degree turn, but the individuals involved were completely unaware.

Later, someone reporting work happened upon the CEO and the intern both in Young Director Xi's office.

Oh ho, now there's a show to watch!

Indeed, the CEO was very angry; her voice carried through the slightly ajar door.

"Xi Zhen! Duoduo is your younger aunt! How can you address her by her full name?!"

What? Aunt and niece?!!

*

After work, inside Xi Zhen's car.

After a lingering, deep kiss, Xi Zhen asked, "Shall I take you home tonight?"

"N-no, I'm not going back," Ding Lei said softly, her face flushed red, head lowered.

"Then, Little Aunt, one more time, okay?" <<less

After two years of not seeing Shu He, Jing Yi sat expressionless in his wheelchair. Before he could pretend to be cold and say anything, the woman had already walked past him with a calm expression.

No pity, no hatred, no disappointment — just looking through him as if he were a stranger.

Today, the person who brought Shu He home was an unfamiliar face — not the elegant elite man, nor that pretentious doctor.

The young man was tall and fresh-faced, wearing a clean white shirt, with that familiar handsome curly hair, and the silver-rimmed glasses she loved most.

At night, Jing Yi's eyes grew moist: "Shu He, are you looking for a new boyfriend?"

She used to love stroking his curly hair and kissing his eyes.

Now she just looked at his hands gripping the wheelchair tightly, without comforting him like before: "In what capacity are you asking me? As an ex-boyfriend?"

But what right does an ex-boyfriend have to inquire about such things?

Once again, Harriet couldn’t argue with her uncle’s decision to pin the blame on her for the trouble her cousin Bella had caused. After all, she was an orphan, living under the care of her guardian, her uncle.

Since transmigrating, all sorts of things that don't align with his original worldview have come his way, especially that Master in the Taoist temple, who is definitely clueless about how much he's screwing people over.

Let's see how a Little Taoist Priest strives to grow while shedding tears of frustration.

***

Xiang Jiannan, a modern soul mysteriously transmigrated into the body of a young Taoist priest in the remote town of Ping'an, just wants a quiet life. He's stuck with a master who's more interested in making a quick buck than imparting wisdom, and the local temple, Ping'an Temple, is more dilapidated than divine. But peace is short-lived. When a local family claims their "Peace Talismans" are useless against a haunting, Xiang Jiannan is reluctantly drawn into a series of increasingly bizarre events.

As he investigates, Xiang Jiannan discovers that Ping'an Town is a hotbed of strange occurrences, from restless spirits to a pig demon with a penchant for collecting debts. With his master's help (or hindrance), and his own surprisingly potent, though often unpredictable, abilities, Xiang Jiannan must navigate this supernatural chaos. He finds himself forming an uneasy alliance with a mysterious agent from the Fu Mo Si, a government agency dedicated to suppressing the paranormal, and facing off against a variety of colorful characters, both human and otherwise.

He'll be forced to question everything he thought he knew about Taoism, about his master, and even about himself. And through it all, he must learn to trust his instincts, even if they lead him down the most unexpected, and often hilarious, paths. <<less
