It was in the middle of the night that the woman who would be the Duchess came to see me.... more>>

She said my father and mother died, and my kind uncle became king.

She said it's not worth it for me, the crown prince, to be living in hiding, too.

"A while ago, Your Highness had been hiding from me. With all due respect, is that for the sake of survival? Just because your parents died doesn't mean you have no reason to survive. Actually, that fact alone made it all the more reason why you should live. If you die now..."

If I died now?

When I asked her while looking at her eyes, the woman eventually brought out the harsh truth with empathetic eyes.

"It's like a dog's death.”

"That's rude....”

It's been a long time since I said that. In a short while, he has been treated as a madman and beaten to death just by saying similar things. She loosened her arms that held me and I suddenly stiffened up due to it. Because I thought she might have loosened her arm to hit me. But she didn't.

She knelt down with one knee in front of me, just like a knight.

"Hastred's Sarian raised her salutations. May you accept it gladly.”

My first knight is beautiful and kind.

"Are you on my side?”

"Yes, Your Highness.”

It was all a lie. <<less

Humanity was inexplicably involved in a supernatural escape game.... more>>

To others, the escape game opened the door to a new world.

To Bo Ye, the escape game opened the door to a new coquettish wardrobe.

In the campus copy, everyone only saw the long-haired female ghost Sadako, but Bo Ye only saw the JK uniform on the female ghost.

He decided: “Bring a set back for my boyfriend to wear.”

In the hospital copy, everyone avoided the NPC nurse as if she was a venomous snake, but Bo Ye stared at the nurse’s white uniform for a very long time.

He decided: “Bring a set back for my boyfriend to wear.”

Boyfriend Tang Zhi: “Are you done being shameless? I’m not wearing it.”

The husband and wife worked hard together to turn every round of the game into a uniform temptation.

When forming teams, Gu Meng met three fresh and refined men: A pair of extremely capable husbands and a fool who was always joking around.

In the campus copy, Gu Meng became roommates with a fool who had an unknown background.

In the night when the sky was dark and winds were harsh, the male suddenly said, “Don’t use your phone to look at supernatural photos after turning the lights off.”

Gu Meng was so frightened and thought he had triggered a death trap. He hurriedly turned his phone off.

He looked towards the male. “W-Why?”

“Because……” The male’s gaze was solemn, and he finally said, “Playing your phone in the dark is bad for your vision.”

“……Stop fooling around.” <<less

Ten years ago, little Cyril said.... more>>

“Even if I die with you, I’m not going to marry you!”

Just like that, Adrienne’s first love seemed to end. But one day after coming of age, Cyril regrets those exact words to death.

“Why do you keep making me looking forward, you b*stard! I keep getting it wrong because of you—”

The last word fell hopelessly between the lips. Adrienne’s shaking shoulder was wrapped gently in Cyril’s hand.

“You're not getting it wrong.”

To save Gao Zhun from the shackles of his invisible illness, Fang Chi overcomes obstacle after obstacle, inching closer and closer to his heart. But…... more>>

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

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.

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

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.

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.
