He didn’t imagine that this thirst for revenge would cost him the chance to see the person one last time. <<less

Until one day...

"Mr. Qin, your son is already in primary school!"

"???" I have only had one boyfriend!

Seven years after the breakup, the old lover returned to the wealthy family with a little fat pig in his arms: "Zaizai is a big eater, I can't feed him. Zaizai’s primary school homework is too difficult, I can’t do it. I'll give you guardianship from now on! Will you let me go to your construction site to move bricks? Son, say ‘Mommy’!"

Mr. Qin: (No, I couldn't give birth to such a fat kid!)

Later...

Onlookers: I heard that Mr. Qin has adopted an illegitimate child born to his old lover by some woman?

Mr. Qin: Let me introduce to you, this is my own cub! <<less

My fiancée is a much renowned hot-tempered young miss. She’s beautiful, strong, and deeply loves me. Upon my start down the path of the Jianghu, I entirely relied on her to provide cover for me and before long, I became renowned as the #1 Pretty Boy of the Immortal Path.

Yet one day, I discovered that this person is apparently a man. A man in drag!

More unforgivable is that he thought I was a woman dressing as a man!

Me, as if my liver and guts are being cut to pieces: “Brother, what have you done with my fiancée?”

Him, as if a knife has been twisted in his heart: “Brother, what have *you* done with my fiancée?”

The waters of the Jianghu are indeed murky. Even if I am starving, even if I’m dying far from home, from this point on, I will not eat even a mouthful of rice prepared by him.

—So fragrant. <<less

The penniless noblewoman Evelyn and the Empire’s only duke, Islay. It was a relationship that wasn’t meant to be, so she couldn’t tell him.... more>>

Growing up in an orphanage since he was a child, Tao Mu, who had suffered so much, never thought that his life was actually a result of picking up the wrong script.... more>>

Eighteen years ago, two children were born at the same time, but due to the negligence of the medical staff their name tags were switched. Tao Mu, who was supposed to be born in a wealthy family, was sent to an orphanage instead.

Eighteen years later, the mistake was discovered. Tao Mu originally thought everything could go back on track. However, his parents and siblings who were supposed to be the closest family disliked him deeply, lovers and friends also turned their backs on him.

Receiving such a shock, Tao Mu completely revealed his dark side, becoming a vicious cannon fodder that everyone hated. In the end he found himself utterly isolated and committed su*cide by jumping off a building.

After being reborn, Tao Mu was surprised to find that he actually lived in a book. The male protagonist in the book was the Silly White Sweet** who was the other baby that he had mistakenly switched identities with. As for him, he was just the vicious cannon fodder encountered by the Silly White Sweet in his sweet and pampered life.

Tao Mu: f*ck this plot, and f*ck this stereotypical routine. I won’t be playing along in this life!

In other words, this is a dog blood story of a highly provoked cannon fodder no longer mistreating himself to please anyone after being reborn. Instead he will be relying on himself to build an entertainment empire that will catapult him to the top.

Yang Lei turned around. The moment he turned, with the sound of the wind, a brick smashed onto Yang Lei’s head. Yang Lei wasn’t even aware of when someone had gotten close from behind.... more>>

Fresh blood flowed down from his forehead, blurring his eyes. Through the spray of blood, Yang Lei saw a person. A tall and thin, clean man, expressionlessly smashing a second brick onto Yang Lei’s face.

A long time later Yang Lei recalled, what had left the deepest impression in his mind was that white dress shirt on the other person’s body. That white dress shirt was dazzling, white as snow, spotlessly clean; very few fighters dressed so cleanly. That white dress shirt was quickly dyed red with blood, Yang Lei’s blood.

They were gold class fighters, number one warriors of two crime bosses. They had experienced countless fierce battles, establishing their status in Jianghu. From rivals to friends, to brothers who would live together and die together.

What was a brother? Many years later, you say the word, my life, I give to you.

A man’s friendship, a man’s love. <<less

In the summer of 1992, Shan Ming was injured during a mission and got separated from his teammates. He was lost in the vast and horrifying primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border.... more>>

Relying on his rich experience in wildlife survival, he still holds absolute confidence in his ability to escape from difficulties.

However, it took him double the time expected to escape from this devil’s land.

The reason was that he accidentally picked up a creature that should’ve never appeared in this place – a child – a little Chinese boy.

On a whim, Shan Ming picked up the child from the gates of death. As a result, he changed the fate of two people, or perhaps even more.

The untraceable plane crash, the numerous crises faced by the mercenary group, the suspicions and sacrifices among the members of the group, and the ice-thin relationship with the government organization.

The fear-stricken “National Weapon” project, the legendary and tragic fate of the “Dragon Blood Kins”.

Huge conspiracies were hidden behind the seemingly ordinary missions and everything seemed to be connected with the child’s mysterious identity.

His appearance dragged Shan Ming and his mercenary group step by step into irreparable doom…

Ahem, the text above is sort of tricky. Let’s try a more relaxed version:

Due to a plane crash, a five-year-old (human?) shota got lost in the primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border. He was forcibly raised by a Chinese member of an international mercenary group.

Since falling into the hands of this inhuman mercenary, the shota has completely bid farewell to his delicate childhood and begun his painful ripening.

When other five-year-old shotas were acting mushy gushy in their mothers’ arms, he had been forced to learn how to shoot a headshot.

When other seven-year-olds were held in the palm of their parents’ hands, he had to solo the pe*verted killer who lusted after him.

When other ten-year-olds were still innocently crushing on their female deskmate, he had already followed his foster father, who had no lower limit to his morality, into and out of the colorful brothels in Las Vegas.

After being under the influence of his foster father for a long time, the naive little shota finally became abnormal…

So this is the story of a delicate young master who has been bullied and cruelly trained since childhood.

One who eventually grew up to be a black-bellied cold-blooded mercenary and successfully overpowered his despicable foster father that always treated him like reserve food and ordered him around like a dog. <<less

Her fellows at the academy called her “The Iron Maiden”. Some did it out of jealousy. Others, out of contempt. But no one ever approached Valentia. Even her own family avoided her.

In the post-apocalyptic world, Si Huaixi was bored with killing zombies, so he picked up a novel to read.... more>>

The title of the novel is 'Interstellar Heartthrob.' Si Huaixi thought it was a science fiction novel set in a peaceful era. But he had no idea it was about a strange ABO world. The men in it would actually have children?!

The protagonist was a male Omega who could give birth!!!

What shattered his world view even more was the fact that the protagonist managed to dominate the interstellar entertainment industry by seducing various rich and powerful alphas.

Si Huaixi wanted to throw the book away after reading it, and then he did!

Unexpectedly, he transmigrated into the novel and became the gloomy 18th-line ‘Beta’ starlet, who had offended the protagonist by stealing his limelight with a stunning photo.

How can the cannon fodder who offends the protagonist have a good life?

When he woke up the next day, Si Huaixi was surprised to find that the Alpha who spent the night with him was Pei Zhaozhou, the villain in the book!!! However, the villainous Pei Zhaozhou did not get angry. Instead, he pinched his eyebrows, smoked a cigarette, and let Si Huaixi go.

Si Huaixi thought everything was over, but Pei Zhaozhou suddenly showed up one day with a medical report, saying in a slightly restrained tone, "I’m pregnant, and my pheromones are in chaos. I need the father of the child to accompany and comfort me." <<less
