Everything you have done so far amounts to nothing more than a technique? What about…

Your feelings?

—–

Can the course of human feelings ever be truly understood?

In an attempt to diversify his career, Zhang Zhun agrees to co-star with award-winning actor, Chen Hsin.

Their first task, by the director’s orders:
15 days of cohabitation in a couple’s room.15 days of watching raunchy movies in the same bed, in preparation for the filming of their first scene together.

Yet, things begin to go wrong as they get into bed for the camera.
No one on the set is safe from the passion of their performance.
No one is exempt from the heat of their desire.

Even the director cannot help but fume: Have I ever asked them to take things this far?

But… isn’t it our job to go deeper into the act?

—–

You are my secret sunshine.

Chen Hsin risks everything in his possession as Zhang Zhun walks down the path of no return.

How should they define the bond between them?

Perhaps it should not be known as love, for love is too heavy and terrifying a word for them.

And yet…

There will never be another film like this! Your performance and the feelings you conveyed will never be surpassed! This is a masterpiece that belongs only to the two of you!

When their eyes meet – before the camera, according to the script – Zhang Zhun feels the tips of his fingers go numb.

Who is he?
Has he become Gao Zhun? Or is he still Zhang Zhun?

Who is this before him?
Is it Fang Chi? Or is it Chen Hsin?

When the filming comes to an end, the characters will recover, the actors’ passion will fade, and they will forget each other eventually as they return to their individual paths.

In the end, how should they make sense of it all?

Have they truly been hopelessly and deliriously in love?
Or have they simply lost themselves too deeply in the act? <<less

If you could return to the day you met, what would the two of you do?... more>>

“Ah! Fate is unfathomable like that. Never would anyone be able to guess that such an ordinary encounter could lead to such an extraordinary future. Although our encounter that day contributed to a resplendent future, I sometimes find myself reminiscing about ordinary days. If time could be rewound, would I choose to step foot into that tavern where we met… Ah, no! Even if that tavern had not existed, we would definitely have met anyway, because our encounter was indispensable fate!”

“With my blade, I’ll cut the tavern, destiny, and this bastard in half all at the same time.”

A series depicting the battles of the third ranked family among the "Killing Names," the Zerozaki Family.

Most volumes are relatively disconnected, each using a different narrator with only a few recurring characters.

In each world derived from novels, there would be such a person; a protagonist, who although in name was no less than a proud son of heaven, had a destiny of neverending suffering, humiliation, betrayal, and abuse. The threads of these people’s fates were twisted in such a horrid way for one and only one simple reason; in the eyes of heaven, they were people whose temperaments should be honed and flaws smoothed akin to the surfaces of small pebbles fallen under running water, until the day came when they would finally be able to claim the seat at the pinnacle of the world that rightfully belonged to them.... more>>

But the harshness of such tempering was unbearable to the protagonists, and by the time they achieved their predestined glory, no residual goodness and kindness remained in their hearts. One by one, those people chose to walk the road of blackening, from which they were never to return.

Then, some systems received a rather strange task; change the destiny of the protagonist, no matter what it takes. This was to be done by (including, but not limited to:) [acting as the protagonist’s golden finger], [becoming the protagonist’s mentor], [acting as the protagonist’s good brother]…

The systems were confident in their success: there should be no problem, we can solve anything.

The protagonists replied: don’t worry, we’ll take care of anything that goes wrong. <<less

It’s just that Ye Xiao's cold colleague, who looks unfazed even when encountering mysterious events, seems to be…pretty strange too? <<less

Shen Lu spent a lifetime trying to get closer to Yan Chenli, and in the end was killed in the line of duty in an operation commanded by Yan Chenli.... more>>

According to the donation agreement he made during his life, he was turned into a human weapon—an Executioner. Because of his guilt, Yan Chenli almost lost his family fortune bearing the costs of a human weapon’s expensive energy consumption, just to keep Shen Lu by his side.

Most of the people turned into human weapons were prisoners given the death penalty, the “incorrigible dregs of society”.

Everyone knows that the operational capabilities of these Executioners are just two hours, and that they’re even stripped of the names they had during life, their mind is weak, incapable of independent thought, and they go madly out of control upon remembering the fact that they are already dead.

Shen Lu, Chief Adjudicator Yan Chenli’s Executioner, is the only exception.

[Don’t treat your Executioner partner like a human being, or you’ll be out of luck.]
