Every night, Ji Ling dreamed of intimate moments with a beautiful, unfamiliar woman. To find a solution, she traveled to the countryside to meet her "destined person." However, a thick fog rolled in, and the sound of suona horns reached her ears. When she opened her eyes again, it was midnight, and ghosts surrounded her. Stumbling, she ran to a house lit by candlelight, only to see red silk and veils. A woman in a red wedding dress sat by the bed. On the table in front of her was a red ledger, with the two prominent characters: "Love Debt."... more>>

It turns out that in her previous life, Ji Ling was a yao (a type of demon or supernatural being in Chinese mythology). While fleeing, she met Lin Qingjiu, who saved her life. In the days that followed, Ji Ling aggressively pursued her savior. After finally winning Lin Qingjiu over, Ji Ling, for reasons unknown, decided to leave without a word.

As a result, Ji Ling was forcibly bound to the "Love Debt" system. She must repay this debt to completely sever this karmic connection. The method of repaying this love debt is as follows:

"Ah... that's enough..." Ji Ling weakly pushed away Lin Qingjiu's hand. The other person leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Good girl, just one last time."

Night after night, Ji Ling was utterly consumed, her body covered in hickeys that never truly faded, old ones fading as new ones appeared. Her once beautiful face became haggard and pale. Ji Ling despaired, thinking, "When will this ever end?" <<less

Jiang Lou can't hear out of his left ear, the result of a fight with three middle school students when he was ten years old.... more>>

At the time, with blood covering his face, he was sent to the hospital. The doctor asked where his guardian was, and he recalled the woman who had given birth to him, who at that moment was accompanying another child to a piano lesson.

That child also called her "Mom."

Eight years later, Jiang Lou attended No.1 High School in Xucheng, earning scholarships, with X in the parent fields on his student information form.

One day after school, he saw the new transfer student from his class cornered by a few hoodlums on the side of the road.

The transfer student was frightened pale, hunching his shoulders tightly against the wall, looking comical yet pitiful.

Jiang Lou watched from afar, his heart unmoved, feeling no pleasure in revenge.

Jiang Lou intervened and rescued the transfer student.

Two days later, Li Tang blocked him in the stairwell during a break. Amidst the noisy surroundings, Jiang Lou had to turn his head, using his right ear to listen to Li Tang's gratitude.

This allowed Li Tang to easily notice that Jiang Lou's profile was even more attractive than his front view, seeming to seek a kiss when he moved closer.

During a winter camp later on, Li Tang sneaked into Jiang Lou's room, embracing him from behind, eyes red as he asked, "Why did you save me back then?"

Facing away from Li Tang, the dark night outside reflected in Jiang Lou's eyes as he coldly said, "I didn't want to see you bullied by others."

"...Others?"

"Mm."

I want all your pain to be caused by me. <<less

She was an ordinary girl, Liang Manyue.... more>>

About 80% of the world would choose what she did.

He said, “Manyue, I originally wanted to take you to England.”

I remember many years ago, I was still a little girl who was unhappy that she couldn’t go to England.

A boy once told me not to worry and that he would just take me in the future.

I almost forgot about this promise, but he remembered. So, he remembered.

But right after, he angrily said, “But Liang Manyue, you don’t deserve it.”

I stood before the bed, bit my lips hard, tried not to cry, and nodded. “Right, I don’t deserve it.”

Sorry, between my family and love, I chose my family.

During my short life, I was always abandoned.

I couldn’t believe that the first time I had to abandon someone, I chose to give up my love—all of it! <<less

That summer afternoon, spent beside the being who had become the heaviest in my world, with the verdure of the season deepening within the confines of my lone space, self-isolated from others. Solitude was no longer an option for me. A life without Woonu only promised loneliness.... more>>

I lost my family and experienced the loneliness that lingered in their absence, living a lonesome life without holding anyone close to my heart, stewing in my solitude. Loneliness and solitude cannot coexist. Only those who have chosen solitude know of this truth.

Solitude is a blank, and loneliness is a dearth that seeks to be filled. Because solitude is closer to nonpossession than it is to resignation, while loneliness is like a jar with a leaky bottom. That imperfectly solid blank of mine, built from my fleeing of loneliness, became desperate to contain a whole being.

Woonu, having felt the rain at the tip of his fingers, arm stretched beyond the eaves, suddenly straightened his legs and leaned his upper body forward.

“Huh? A green frog!”

“Where? Are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

“There, over there! Oh, oh, it’s jumping!”

“Oh, there really is one.”

“Where did it come from? Has it always lived here?”

I quietly gazed at the side of his face, his mouth agape with a bright smile adorning it.

Where did you come from? Where did you come from for it to feel as though you’ve always been here? <<less

Jian Anjie was sure that Xi Xichen was the greatest mismatch that God had handed her. His cold temperament and personality lending a leering, arrogant appearance. She cannot stand being around him, and yet life seems determined to keep their fates entwined.

What she doesn’t know is that this cold front that Xichen portrays is a wall he’s built to hide a sensitive and childlike interior deep inside himself. This is why, on that fated day, she rejects his confession of love to her outright.

But Xichen is adamant and pours out to her a shocking revelation.

“My love for you is forever. I would never do anything to harm you or force you into something you don’t want. You are the love of my life, and I am willing to wait until the winds of change open your heart up to me. I will wait forever.”

These words start a twinge of something in Anjie’s heart, but will it be enough?

“Whether through a distance that spans the world, or the intimate space between two pillows, my love will find you again. I will nestle it into my heart so that I may find warmth on the coldest winter day, and a wonderful cool on the hottest summer one.” <<less

In this life, the biggest ‘unresolved case’ that Gong Wuhuan handled involved Gong Changxiao.

She was certain she had killed him but why is this man still alive?

When the man stared at her with that greedy look, he was like a cat staring at a fish.

And what made it most unbearable was that he kept calling her…….wife.

“Wife, you can’t kill your husband, do you understand? Otherwise, who will help to warm your bed and watch over you at night?”

Suddenly, she thrust out the sword……..it didn’t kill him.

“Wife, don’t fight anymore because Husband is afraid that my martial arts is too powerful and may hurt you by mistake. My heart will hurt.”

She shot out a concealed weapon…..it missed.

“Wife, you must not castrate your husband’s second brother. Without him, you won’t have happiness.

Pa! She slapped his face fiercely, hitting right on target. She was stunned.

She saw him stroking his face with enjoyment. “As Husband expected, Wife’s hands are so soft.”

Instantly, Gong Wuhuan’s heart sank to the bottom and she had a hunch.

It’s afraid this man will be haunting her like a lingering ghostly soul that refuses to scatter until her death! <<less

Have you ever possessed a character in a novel where the male protagonist has died?... more>>

I managed to do that difficult feat.

I ended up possessing a necromancer in a novel that the author abandoned after killing him off, who unfortunately was an accomplice of the black mage who killed the male protagonist.

Although I successfully bound the male protagonist’s (Castian) soul using necromancy, everyone is wary of me and despises me.

But for some reason, the once-distant male protagonist has become increasingly kind.

When I rejoiced, thinking that at least he understood my feelings, his kindness took a rather peculiar direction.

“Wasn’t it said that the closer I am, the easier it is to use necromancy?”

“Well, that may be, but you’re already quite close.”

“This should make it even more convenient, then.”

Castian gave a dangerous smile as he pressed a kiss to the back of my hand.

This man must be losing his mind since he lost his life.

The ill-fated encounter between a lowly necromancer and the male protagonist destined to save the world—will things really be okay like this?

Could someone please save our male protagonist and, while you’re at it, maybe save me too? <<less

There exist in this world a set of six daggers that carry a terrible curse: the ability to inflict a death beyond time. Those under the daggers' curse shall reincarnate without end, never able to know happiness and always drawn to die once more by the dagger. This is the story of "Raine" and "Marie", two souls bound by the daggers' curse to kill one another, over and over again.... more>>

France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

The French-German border, 1916. As World War I rages on, Raine and Marie's latest reincarnations live the life of a sub-lieutenant in the French army and a medic with the Red Cross, respectively. The two lovers are reunited at the site of the Battle of Verdun, but no sooner have they met then Raine finds himself faced with a barrage of impossible circumstances. An enemy soldier's head suddenly vanishes, right before his eyes. One of his subordinates reports the same thing happening to an ally. Four more headless bodies vanish from a flooded bunker in the minute he looks away. These baffling events are a prelude to the return of their old tragedy.

Northern Hokkaido, 1989. Kimiyo, age eighteen, is already dying, an inoperable tumor in her hypothalamus leaving her with less than a year to live. Refusing to despair in the face of her tragic circumstances, she spends her remaining days with her friends at "The Library at the End of the World", a private library so called due to its isolated nature. One day, a man named Kito approaches her out of the blue, regaling her with a story about a set of cursed daggers, knights in the 13th century, and the two of them being cursed, fated lovers. Naturally, Kimiyo is intensely skeptical, but the events that come next don't require her to believe in them.

In front of Se-yeong was Baek Je-ha, who was full of life and just turned twenty years old. Nevertheless, nothing had changed from when she first met him, a 17-year-old boy who was full of youth, in front of the music room.... more>>

Blatant interest, favoring, affection. None of it had changed. No, it could be said it deepened during the time she did not see him.

“I want to hold hands, go on a date, and kiss Senior. I saved all my firsts to do with Han Se-yeong.”

“Then… do it. With me.”

Se-yeong pressed her lips as if she were stamping them. Even though she was pressing on his lips, Je-ha was so madly happy that his breath became rough.

Je-ha instinctively pushed his tongue inside. As if very delicious honey was hidden inside it.

Losing his mind, he took control of Se-yeong’s mouth, but he felt her hand hitting his back, so he stepped back.

“Haa! Ha… Ah…!”

Se-yeong, who thought she was about to be suffocated to death, breathed shallowly.

“I’m going crazy. How can others casually do this as if it is nothing?”

Je-ha smiled bitterly as he wiped his sore lips with the back of his hand. Even though the night air was chilly, she was sweating because of how much her temperature went up by a kiss.

She also wondered if what she did was a real kiss. If kissing meant being voraciously greedy for each other’s saliva.

“Humans are too high-strung—”

Xu Qi was jealous of Liao Jin Xue.

He knew that the shoes on Liao Jin Xue’s feet would cost him three months’ salary on credit. The starry dial on his wristwatch had real diamonds inlaid in every twinkle. The faint scent of cedarwood on his body reeked of money. He was no longer the pitiful, bullied figure from ten years ago.... more>>

Xu Qi hated Liao Jin Xue.

He saw Liao Jin Xue wrap an arm around his wife's waist, coaxing a rare, bashful smile from a woman who had never been generous with her affection. Her ring-bearing left hand gently caressed his chest in flirtation, eventually resting obediently against his shoulder.

Thirty-year-old Xu Qi had an ordinary face, a meager-paying job, and a marriage on the verge of collapse. Even so, he blamed everything on that young man who seduced his wife—he spied on him, stalked him, cursed him to wake up hideously disfigured one day, to become inhuman for the rest of his life.

But fate had other ideas—it played a cruel joke.

When he woke from a hangover, he was greeted by blinding light… and the scent of cool cedar lingering beside him. The man lying next to him had sharp, handsome features that matched every single photo he’d secretly taken—like something out of a ridiculous dream.

Panicked, he tried to flee, only to be pulled back by Liao Jin Xue, who pressed his lips to the back of his neck and bound him tightly in his arms, his breath cool and indifferent like unmelted snow.

"Are you satisfied now?"

Xu Qi was jealous of Liao Jin Xue.

He wished for that beautiful face to be ruined, for his charm to wither, for his spending power to vanish. He wanted Liao Jin Xue to become an ugly, repulsive man—one that no one could ever steal away from him.
