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?

It wasn’t long before the original owner was drugged and sent to the bed of an investor who enjoyed making short videos. The next day, the news of his scandal was all over the internet, and the original owner jumped off a building in shame. Si Huaixi did not escape the drugging plot after crossing. But, he unexpectedly spent the night with a handsome male Alpha.

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

Su Yuzhou reincarnated into the ABO world after his death and became a top-level alpha. Influenced by the conceptions of his previous life, he never thought that a susceptible period would have any effect on him – after all, as an upright young man, how could he be enticed by pheromones to push down a weak Omega?... more>>

Then, he became the one who was pushed down _(:з”∠)_

Atypical ABO story, Omega Gong X Alpha Shou. <<less

Tang Dynasty painter Fu Yi died and found himself reincarnated in the modern world in the body of a young master named Qi Linqing whose economic resources had been cut-off.... more>>

In order to make ends meet, he started to diligently paint and write calligraphy.

Everyone was waiting for this young master to make a joke of himself as he tried to fake his painting skills, but what really happened was ——

The director of the costume drama cried bitterly: Come to my play!

People’s Daily: # Qi Linqing, the youngest genius youth in traditional Chinese painting #

Facing the media interview, Qi Linqing said very honestly: “I am actually very average at painting.”

After all, he was poor in his previous life.

The crowd: “?”

Why do you have misconceptions about your own strength?

Later, the well-known master of Chinese painting exclaimed, “Your brushwork looks like the Saint of Painting ……”

Upon hearing the phrase Saint of Painting, Qi Linqing hastened to be modest: “I don’t dare to be.”

Master: “……Saint of Painting Fu Yi.”

As Qi Linqing finally realised this: “?”

Fu Yi, was this not himself?? <<less

【Pampered Young Master Gong (Yan Sheng) x Gentle and Elegant Male Mom Shou (Shen Er)】... more>>

Shen Er had been in the professional scene for many years without ever winning a single championship trophy. Retiring with an array of occupational illness and the title of “Lucky E”, he accidentally stepped into thin air and fell down the stairs.

When he woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital bed, opening his phone to an exciting esports novel on a popular reading app.

When he discovered that the cannon fodder supporting character in the book shared his name and had the exact same experiences, he had an enlightenment.
Shen Er: …Can't the author be a little kinder!

·

Back in reality, penniless Shen Er had no choice but to return to his old profession, earning a living as a paid companion player in an internet café.

Unexpectedly, once he escaped the cannon fodder identity, Shen Er's usually unlucky luck skyrocketed, reaching the heights of SSS luck.

First, he won a grand prize at the internet cafe with a pentakill, then he carried his way through the accompanying player orders he casually accepted, and finally, he was hired at a high price for long-term play by a man with a deep and pleasant voice, making his wallet thicker and thicker.

Until one day, Shen Er received a trial invitation from a rising league team, and he went as agreed, only to see a man leaning lazily against the door in a coat.
Yan Sheng lazily looked at him and said in a very familiar voice, "Owl, welcome."

Shen Er: ...
It turns out to be you, Mr. Customer.

·

Shen Er quickly became the starting mid-laner for the rising team BTF, developing incredible synergy with Yan Sheng across countless matches.
He gained considerable fame in the game, winning both big and small awards, and finally compensated for his past regrets and was no longer the lonely Lucky E.

On the day when BTF won the finals of the World Championship, Yan Sheng, the jungle player and owner, spoke on behalf of the team, and Shen Er looked at him sideways, hearing him say:
"Splendor will be Owl's exclusive jungler."

Yan Shixun had roamed far and wide, making a modest living by helping people exorcise ghosts and dispel evil spirits. He enjoyed a carefree life doing odd jobs for a little extra cash.... more>>

However, just when he was living his life on his own terms, his rich third-generation friend who was shooting a variety show couldn’t find enough artists to participate and cried out, “Brother Yan, if you don’t come, I’ll die here!”

Yan Shixun: “…”

He looked at the amount his friend was offering and reluctantly agreed.

As a result, Yan Shixun unexpectedly became an internet sensation!

In the travel variety show that eliminates the worst performance guest, a haunted villa in the woods echoed with ghostly cries at midnight, vengeful spirits surrounded and threatened the guests. Possessed by eerie creatures in a desolate mountain temple, the entire team of artists was on the brink of danger. Sinister forces in rural villages harnessed dark sorcery to deceive and ensnare…

As the viewers watched the travel variety show transform into a horror show, they were shocked and screamed in horror. Yet, amidst this, Yan Shixun remained composed, a gentleman with an extraordinary presence.

Yan Shixun plucked a leaf and turned it into a sword, piercing through the evil spirit’s chest. With a burning yellow talisman in hand, he forced the malevolent entity to flee in panic. With a single command, he sent the Ten Yama Kings quaking, instilling fear in the Yin officers.

The audience stared in astonishment.

However, Yan Shixun calmly dealt with the ghosts and spirits while confidently explaining to the camera with a disdainful expression.

He looked pessimistic and said, “Read more, believe in superstitions less. What ghosts? Everything is science.”

The enlightened audience: This man is amazing! Master, I have awakened.

The audience went crazy with their votes, and Yan Shixun’s popularity soared.

Yan Shixun, who originally thought he would be eliminated in a few days: Miscalculated!

As they watched the live broadcast of Yan Shixun becoming increasingly indifferent, cynical, and wanting to be eliminated, the audience became even more excited: Is there anything more attractive than an idol who promotes science with a touch of mystique? All major companies, please sign him and let him debut!

For a while, Yan Shixun’s name became a sensation on the internet, and entertainment industry giants and influential fortune tellers came knocking at his door.

Yan Shixun sighed deeply: “I won’t debut! I won’t date or build a fanbase! Just leave me alone; all I want is to exorcise ghosts in peace!”

A certain bigshot from the ghost world wrapped his arm around Yan Shixun’s waist from behind: You can consider dating… me.

//// About the Japanese novel and anime adaptations ////

Originally serialized in the bimonthly magazine Shosetsu June (小説ジュネ) spanning six chapters from December 1986 to October 1987, the novel was released with minor revisions into a hardcover edition in 1990.
This first version of the story received a two-episode/OVA anime adaptation in 1992 and 1994.

Between the years 2001 and 2007, the original story was greatly expanded upon and released in six paperback volumes. After a change of Japanese publisher, two more volumes were released between 2009 and 2010, completing the series (the six aforementioned volumes were released as volumes 1-4 in the newest Japanese edition).
This second version of the story was meant to be adapted into a twelve-episode OVA anime—initially planned to release in 2010—but was postponed to 2012, only to be discontinued after the fourth episode’s release.

//// About the English translation ////

The English paperback expanded edition is made up of eight volumes: the six first volumes (Seibido/Crystal edition) + the two later volumes (#7 and #8 in English, but #5 and #6 in the newest Tokuma/Chara edition).
The change in Japanese publisher led to a change in translator for the English edition between vol1 to 6 and vol7 to 8: it is highly recommended to read the fan translations of #7 and #8 as opposed to reading the licensed edition, due to the massive loss in translation (expect a 50% word count difference between the two).

//// Current translation status of the different editions of the novel (as of April 20th, 2024) ////

. Shosetsu June edition, unlicensed: 2/6 chapters, ongoing fan translation.
. 1990 hardcover edition, unlicensed: 2/6 chapters, ongoing fan translation. An older fan translation had 4/6 chapters translated but the project was dropped.
. 2000’s expanded edition, English licensed: fully translated, complete.

//// Drama CDs, prequel and side stories ////

– The Shosetsu June story was adapted into a drama cassette and a drama CD (Dark Erogenous).
– The expanded story was adapted into three drama CDs (Destiny, Nightmare, Resonance)
– A prequel called Midnight Illusion was serialized in Shosetsu June between December 1992 and April 1993, and released as a hardcover in 1996. 3/6 chapters have been fan-translated into English.
– The 5 side stories have all been fan-translated into English (Kizu/Wound, File-0, Cal’s Sighs, Musk, Illusion Night) and are based on the expanded version of the novel.
