Yao Yao was born as a little glutton, her appetite rivaling half a mountain.... more>>

One day, the old Taoist who adopted her passed away in meditation. At just three and a half years old, Yao Yao had no choice but to pack her small bag and head down the mountain to find her senior master.

By chance, she ended up saving a wealthy tycoon from a car accident and became the adopted daughter of the prestigious Gu family.

At first, everyone in the Gu family opposed the idea.

The Gu family matriarch tapped her cane and said, “Raising someone else’s child? Careful not to end up with an ingrate!”

The Gu family head, Gu Xuesong, said indifferently, “Picked up halfway? Who knows what kind of trouble she might bring.”

From the eldest to the seventh brother, their response was unanimous: “We don’t want a sister!”

But this little girl, rejected by the entire family, proved herself after joining the Gu household.

She resolved the business partner issues that even Gu Xuesong couldn’t handle, bringing in so many contracts that they couldn’t sign them all.

She cured the Gu matriarch’s chronic leg pain, to the point where the old lady was now striding around effortlessly…

Even the seven Gu brothers, one after another, benefited greatly from her presence.

It was only then that the Gu family realized they had brought home a treasure.

From then on, the Gu family’s attitude completely changed.

The Gu matriarch: “Yao Yao, do you want some cream puffs? Grandma will buy them for you.”

Gu Xuesong: “Yao Yao, do you want a private jet? Daddy will have one sent over to take you for a ride.”

The Gu brothers: “Yao Yao, do you want…”

And so, Yao Yao secured herself a meal ticket—one of the highest quality! <<less

July 11th, 1937, Shanghai. Apartment 699. At precisely 10 PM, Sheng Qingrang, a renowned lawyer, returns home from an academic discussion. The hallway light abruptly goes out.... more>>

July 11th, 2015. The same apartment. At precisely 10 PM, Zong Ying, a modern-day forensic doctor, returns home from a crime scene. The hallway light flickers.

Two time-spaces converge through this shared moment of light and shadow.

Sheng Qingrang is refined, gentle, and traditionally principled, with an inner strength that emanates tranquility.

Zong Ying is calm, decisive, and sharp in her work, possessing an almost unwavering determination.

Their first encounter: he is her "Mr. No Rush," sheltering her with a black folding umbrella as he escorts her to the hospital. Their reunion: he is a tenant from another time, holding a rental agreement dated 1937.

Time and space intertwine as they meet in the quiet of the night. Their love, born in separate worlds, transcends the boundaries of time and space. Once kindled, it burns eternally. <<less

While he was explaining the questions to me, I always admired the view of his side profile, seeing how the sunlight would hit his fluttering eyelashes, casting faint shadows just beneath his irises.

Every time I was entranced by his good looks, I would marvel at whether his biological parents were fools, because how could a normal person abandon such a handsome and healthy boy.

From then on, I believed the deep affection I couldn’t push aside for him was just the attachment I felt for an older brother, a dependency born from the lack of a father figure in my life.

Until the appearance of Qi Yang.

Xiao Zhou always felt that he and Jiang Chengyuan were using each other.

Jiang Chengyuan was infatuated with his pheromones, using his body to break free from pheromone control.

Meanwhile, he wanted to obtain parole, needing an Alpha to be his guardian to deal with regular checks and reports.

All of this was taught to him by Jiang Chengyuan, who told him to be gentle and patient, and to atone for his mistakes.

So when he regained his Alpha status, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the bizarre relationship between him and Jiang Chengyuan should end.

But Jiang Chengyuan still waited for him downstairs, still liked to hug him from behind as before, rubbing his gland with the tip of his nose, gently biting with his teeth.

Clearly unable to mark anymore.

Xiao Zhou felt uncomfortable all over due to the clash of two types of Alpha pheromones, but Jiang Chengyuan said in a hoarse voice, 'So this is your scent.'"

Due to body modification, changed from Alpha to Omega, will change back later.

Over the past 4 years as her classmate, Gu Yan robbed Qi Xi of countless opportunities and awards.... more>>

And just as she was about to speak on behalf of her class as Outstanding Graduate, Qi Xi received a letter from the expressionless Gu Yan... a confession letter that could only be compared to a form of s*xual harassment signed by the outstanding Gu Yan himself.

Qi Xi changed her graduation speech out of anger, starting with the confession letter. With a hearty and passionate speech, she called for society to respect women, and in the end she emphasized, "Gu Yan, you might have a crush, but it is a crime to confess like this! I'm someone you can't catch up with in your life!"

However, after finishing the speech, Qi Xi discovered a terrible fact... at the back of the confession letter was a line, "roommate Zhang Jia Liang" put together, the true signature of the letter was, "Written by Gu Yan's roommate Zhang Jia Liang"

Seo Yi-soo, a young prosecutor, is faced with a distressing situation when her journalist sister mysteriously disappears. While delving into the clues left behind by her sister, she stumbles upon a shocking revelation involving the country’s largest law firm, Yoon & Kang.... more>>

In her quest for information, Yi-soo approaches Yoon Hyun-seong, her senior from college and the son of Yoon & Kang’s representative, proposing a contract engagement. Aware of his legal expertise, she suggests a one-year engagement contract.

Their relationship begins as a mere arrangement to fulfill their individual objectives. Yi-soo, without harboring any doubts, firmly believes in this pragmatic alliance. However, her unwavering faith is shattered in an instant.

As she rejoices momentarily, fate throws an unexpected twist at her. The air fills with a captivating blend of wood and cigarette smoke. Hyun-seong, with a cigarette poised between his index and middle fingers, invites her to experience it. His lips gently graze the cigarette, revealing a lazy yet alluring smile. His eyes exude indifference, while the veins on his hand appear prominently.

As the tip of the cigarette turns red, Yi-soo’s heart races, feeling as if it were shattered into pieces. <<less

I joined a top law firm in Korea.

In the winter of three years ago, the first locked room mu*der in Japanese history was committed.... more>>

All of the evidence pointed to the defendant. It was certain they were guilty. And yet, they were found innocent and released. Why? Because the crime scene was a perfect locked room no one from the police or the prosecutor's office could solve.

"Since the room was locked, it was impossible for the defendant to have committed the mu*der. It's no different than if they had a perfect alibi." That was the argument of the defense, and that was the argument the judge sided with.

The ruling sent a ripple throughout Japanese society. No matter how suspicious you were or how much evidence you left behind, as long as you managed to create a locked room that no one could solve, you were immune from prosecution. With the common anti-mystery fiction talking point "there's no reason anyone would ever actually commit a locked room mu*der" completely overturned, the rate of locked room mu*ders in Japan skyrocketed.

When the police proved unable to deal with the surge of locked room crime, the Ministry of Justice published an official categorization of all known locked room tricks as an investigative aid. When that proved insufficient, Division Zero of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, a police division dedicated solely to solving locked rooms, was created. When that still proved insufficient, locked room detectives, private investigators specializing in locked rooms, were officially licensed by the state and authorized to participate in police investigations. Calling a locked room appraiser, someone specializing in searching buildings for secret passages, is now a common first step in criminal investigations.

On the other side of the spectrum, locked room agents, assassins and crime planners specializing in locked room mu*ders, have become some of the most notorious criminals in Japanese history, and even a cult worshiping the scenes of locked rooms as a way to purify the souls of the deceased has made rapid inroads into Japan.

The protagonist, Kasumi Kuzushiro, is an introverted, somewhat cynical high school student who loves mysteries. Kasumi often finds himself dragged along on bizarre journeys by his flighty childhood friend, Yozuki Asahina. Due to their staggeringly bad luck, these trips often leave them in the wrong place at the wrong time to be caught up in locked room mysteries. Fortunately, another of Kasumi's childhood friends, Shitsuri Mitsumura, is the greatest locked room expert in the world, and can always discover the truth.

Hm? How did a high school girl become the greatest locked room expert in the world?

It's simple.

You are the last rose in my barren wasteland.

Not long after Ning Wan was ‘banished’ to a rural neighbourhood by Zhengyuan Law Firm headquarters, a second victim was exiled to join her.... more>>

Vivacious, tall, handsome, a complete gentleman, he exuded the unique aura…

…of a character likely to die off-screen in a historical drama. Were he to become a community lawyer, he would surely end up berated by middle-aged aunties until he cried a river and came to doubt life. He was a big, silly softie, a newbie easy to pick on!

Ning Wan decided that she would beat this poor neglected novice into shape—

“Fu Zheng, isn’t it? Newcomers here must be obedient and discerning.”

“When I dig a pit, you’ll fill it in. When I eat meat, you’ll drink the broth. When I head east, you can’t head west. In short, consider me your God in this remote wilderness beyond the reach of the government.”

Although a little silly, the newbie was handsome, obedient, and tactful. She developed a soft spot for him and decided to impart the ultimate skills she had cultivated for a lifetime: how to shift the blame; how to loaf on the job; how to pay lip service to the boss.

She was very sincere, holding nothing back—

“Truthfully, my unique skills are not without cost. I advise you to like me as soon as possible. Let me analyze the advantages and disadvantages of liking me…”

That big, silly softie, Fu Zheng, succumbed to her coercion and temptation. From that day on, he devoted himself to Ning Wan.

Half a year later, Ning Wan attended the annual meeting at headquarters. There, she was introduced to the new senior partner…

A vivacious, tall, handsome gentleman.

“Hello everyone, I’m Fu Zheng,” he grinned. “I joined this firm to get rid of the bad atmosphere, such as: shifting the blame, loafing on the job, and paying lip service to the boss…”

‘Fu Zheng, you—! Goddammit! This is fraud!’ <<less

Innocent looking but is actually a scheming lawyer Omega (gong) x Gentle and honest police officer Alpha (shou)... more>>

Nie Zihang and Yu Jingxuan’s first encounter took place in the police station late at night. Because his omega lover had cheated on him with an alpha, he had tossed a sphere of concentrated pheromone extract into a packed hot pot restaurant. He had to tell his lover that all alphas were wild animals that couldn’t tell friend from foe when they sense pheromones.

The story concluded with him being questioned by a police officer who, despite his gentle voice and dainty features, turned out to be an alpha as well.

“Mr. Nie, as a lawyer, don’t you think it’s bad to deliberately break the law?” The alpha asked him.

Nie Zihang casually tossed a video recording of the incident while smiling. “In accordance with the ABO Protection Act, my actions were lawful as self-defense. Officer Yu, you should not show unprincipled favoritism to wrongdoers simply because he’s an alpha, okay?”

The alpha courteously released him.

He assumed the issue was over until the next day, when a familiar face arrived at the law firm. A casually dressed Yu Jingxuan entered his office and mused, “Mr. Nie has a strong animosity against alphas. Would you mind if I asked you for help suing an ex-boyfriend? I want his reputation to go down.”

Nie Zihang arched his brow. “Oh? More information would be appreciated.”

Only then did he learn that Yu Jingxuan was also engaged in AA relationships. His ex-boyfriend had also cheated on him with an omega.

Since AO is the right path, why don’t we give it a try?

Anyhow, the gender also coincided well. <<less

On a stormy summer night, at a street-side convenience store.

Gu Jiahe never expected to meet Li Zhao again.

They were deeply in love during their youth but suddenly broke up near graduation. After six years of complete disconnection, they unexpectedly reunite in the seventh year.

Li Zhao, braving the heavy rain, chased him all the way to his rental house.

Gu Jiahe tugged at Li Zhao's shirt collar and joked, 'are you feeling lonely, so you've come to relive old memories with me?'

Li Zhao's face darkened upon hearing this. 'Yes. It's been too long since I touched you, and it's burning inside.'

Gu Jiahe, feeling frustrated, decided that after this last night, he would move out immediately.

He would pretend that nothing had happened, and he would never see Li Zhao again.

However, two days later, Gu Jiahe, as usual, got up early and went to work at the company.

Turning around, he noticed an unfamiliar laptop on the desk next to his.

The next moment, someone opened the door.

Li Zhao stood at the doorway and waved, 'Manager Gu, I am the resident lawyer from the law firm collaborating with your company.'

Gu Jiahe's brain instantly froze: This is bad.

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, his 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.
