My first love is my childhood friend, Yamagami Ibuki. For her, I’ve devoted myself to being like a “stand-in wife,” taking care of everything she needs. Our relationship had remained unchanged since we were kids, but as we reached the age of working adults, things began to shift. ... more>>

“Ibuki, if you end up getting a lover, then say goodbye to me cooking your meals, cleaning your house, doing your laundry, reporting to your parents, or even filing your taxes!”

“W-What? Why?”

“Because… if someone’s coming over to your house at least three times a week and frequently staying over, that’d be unfair to your lover!!”

Ibuki is a hopeless person who’s left all the housework to me. This can’t go on. For her own good, I need to distance myself. At least, that’s what I thought—until Ibuki started pulling tricks she’d never tried before to keep me around.

“Alright, fine! Yukino, let’s get married!”

“W-Wha!?!” <<less

“Ren… Why don’t we, make a bet?”... more>>

Just once is fine. I want to touch Ren even more…

Akito and Ren are the stars of a hot BL drama, who plays two completely opposite roles.

Just like in the drama, the two get along pretty well.

However, after filming a kissing scene, Akito becomes aware of his feelings for Ren, and is shaken by his quickly beating heart.

Once he noticed his feelings, he could stay by his side anymore…

But he wants to be by his side. He wants to touch him.

“I have no intention of touching a woman. That applies even to my wife.”  ... more>>

Ryu Sung-woon, a man seeking a child through in vitro fertilization from his blind date partner. Instead, Su-hwa steps in for the woman who stormed out and offers him a contract marriage.  

“I’ll give birth to your child.”  

After five years, she reunites with her first love. But Sung-woon fails to recognize her—not even realizing she was the intruder who once climbed over the villa’s wall.  

However, on their wedding night, when she expects them to sleep in separate rooms, her husband climbs into her bed.  

“W-Why are you taking off your clothes?” 

"Then, do you prefer keeping them on, Ms. Song Su-hwa?"  

Sung-woon had even come out as a man who preferred men. He didn’t want to be with a woman, which was why he had insisted on in vitro fertilization. So why…?  

“What’s the problem? You said you’d bear my child. It was clearly stipulated in the prenuptial contract and notarized, wasn’t it?”  

Looking into his wife’s wide, startled eyes, Sung-woon smirked in satisfaction. The intruder who had once made him question his own s*xual orientation had walked right into his life.   

How could he have forgotten those dark, pebble-like eyes? He had imagined kissing her countless times.  

“I won’t let you slip away a second time.”  

It seems my preference has always been the same. Back then and now, it’s still you.   <<less

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, the world lay in ruins. Darkness shrouded the world and shadows coveted the warmth of living creatures. Four dragons who each represented the four elements respectively grew from the darkness into living creatures. At first, the dragons were puppets for the shadows to control.

The four dragons then ruled for thousands of years to come, and became known as the Venerable Dragons.... more>>

In a Mary-Sue novel, the readers all liked the Devil Venerable, the second male lead who devoted himself whole-heartedly to the female lead. However the female lead only loved the male lead who ab*sed her physically and mentally.... more>>

Readers: Why doesn’t the female lead like the Devil Venerable?!

Devil Venerable: This Venerable also wants to know. But what I really want to know is why I even like the female lead at all.

In order to understand why the female lead wasn’t attracted to him, the self-conscious Devil Venerable brutally interrogated the entire cast of characters from the novel.

Background characters: I have so many things I want to say but I don’t dare to say it to his face!

Jian Yuheng doesn’t like his brother’s secretary, Song Ruocheng.... more>>

This cold, aloof, and smart omega never makes mistakes, like a perfect, exquisite robot.

But one day, Jian Yuheng discovers that Song Ruocheng can rewind.

At a dinner, his brother was serving himself some food, and Song Ruocheng turned the table. Everyone’s eyes turned to him, and Song Ruocheng shivered slightly. The next second, Jian Yuheng realized that the chicken wings he had just eaten needed to be eaten again. Everything went back to half a minute ago, and Song Ruocheng elegantly picked up the serving chopsticks and placed the ideal dish in front of his boss. Everyone gasped in admiration—Assistant Song is perfect.

Jian Yuheng: ?

At the company annual meeting, just as Song Ruocheng was about to sit down, he tripped. Jian Yuheng started laughing, but the next second, time rewound. He had just finished his speech and was about to start again. Song Ruocheng skillfully avoided the obstacle and sat down gracefully.

Jian Yuheng: …

It turns out that all of Song Ruocheng’s calmness and intelligence were the result of corrections after the rollback. The real Song Ruocheng often messed everything up and was clumsy. Only Jian Yuheng could see this.

2.

Jian Yuheng found Song Ruocheng extremely cute and liked him more the more he looked at him.

Until one day, they went out together during his sensitive period. He had just gotten an injection to suppress his condition, and time rolled back. He injected again, and time rolled back again.

After receiving three unnecessary injections, Jian Yuheng couldn’t hold back his irritation. Filled with anger, he stormed into Song Ruocheng’s room and dragged him aside for a stern talking-to.

“What’s something you can’t handle again?”

Song Ruocheng, feeling guilty, said, “You… the cake you gave me is really delicious. I just wanted to eat it two more times.”

Jian Yuheng: …

3.

Song Ruocheng stayed up late reading a tragic novel about the main couple—where the protagonist and the love interest never speak much and it dragged on for over 500 chapters of heart-wrenching drama. Afterward, he transmigrated into the book.

He became the protagonist gong’s secretary and was bound to a rewind system.

In the office, the protagonist gong was on the phone with the protagonist shou, saying, “If you think like this, there’s nothing I can do.”

The protagonist shou, angry, hung up the phone.

The next second, Song Ruocheng slapped the protagonist gong hard and rewind the time.

Time rewound ten seconds.

The protagonist gong’s eyes turned red, his voice cold: “You want…”

Song Ruocheng slapped a file folder over the protagonist gong’s mouth: “Say it again.”

The protagonist gong: …

At a bar, the protagonist gong was hugged by a drunk green tea friend. The love interest, with red eyes, cried: “I knew you always loved him.”

The protagonist gong: Do you really love me? You don’t even trust me.

Smack, time rewound five seconds. Song Ruocheng kicked the approaching green tea guy away.

With his help, the tragic story turned into a sweet one. Misunderstandings were cleared up, and the protagonist and love interest lived happily ever after.

But—

Why does the protagonist gong’s younger brother, Jian Yuheng, always stare at him?

Mini-scene

After they got together, one day, Song Ruocheng rubbed his waist and tried to escape from Jian Yuheng’s side.

“Stay away from me, I’m exhausted.”

Jian Yuheng, expressionless: “You can rewind. We’ll start over.”

Song Ruocheng: …?

Is he a devil? <<less

The most peculiar thing is that they all come from the same planet!

A certain star: Actually, I’m the real one.

In this treacherous universe, mental powers can be stimulated by literary works.

Therefore, novelists are highly respected but have an extremely high assassination rate.

The star, having transmigrated from another world, chose to write to ensure its survival and health, while also wearing disguises to put on a show:

Today, alias A and alias B, as literary figures, belittle each other, each mocking the other’s writing as being like mushrooms;

Childhood, upbringing, family background, social relations, traumatic experiences…... more>>

We keep reviewing and seeking out the motives of criminals, exploring the subtlest emotions driving them. It’s not to put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize, or even forgive them; it’s not to find some reasons to exculpate their crimes; it’s not to kneel down before the so-called “complexity of human nature”; nor to introspect social conflicts, much less to alienate ourselves into monsters.

We just want to have a fair trial – for ourselves and for those who still have hope for the world. <<less
