Story 1: Bai Muxing was a once-in-a-century S-class omega with 100% compatibility with all four S-class alphas in the empire.

In his previous life, despite his achievements, he was treated like a toy by numerous alphas due to his unique glands. Nobody cared about his simple wish to lead an ordinary life. Jealousy and scheming brought him to his death in the chaotic currents of the galaxy.

In this new life, Bai Muxing chose to remove his glands and become an ordinary person. With a considerable pension, he arrived at a farming and ranching planet on the empire’s border, starting a carefree life of farming and retirement.

He also entered into an online relationship with a handsome beta netizen, fulfilling his life-long dream of “marrying an honest person.”

Apart from the minor annoyance of a husband, who clung to him like a child, and Bai Muxing’s occasional worries about his back pain, life was generally ideal.

However, everything changed when a scumbag alpha, who had once harassed him, followed him to the farming and ranching planet. To his surprise, his seemingly honest husband broke the S-class scumbag alpha’s leg barehanded. In the heat of anger, his husband revealed his true form, that of the king of an alien race whom Bai Muxing had once fought on the battlefield.

Bai Muxing: …I’ve been deceived into this marriage!

His husband, disguised as a big lion, lay down and said: Meow, meow, meow. <<less

The eldest brother of the Tang family, Tang Xu’en, has recently been very troubled.
His youngest brother, Tang Yuan, had suddenly brought a boyfriend home! And even expressed that they are dating with marriage in mind!
The three brothers had lost their parents at a young age and his two foolish brothers had been raised and brought up single-handedly by Tang Xu’en. Despite nearing thirty, he himself wasn’t married and he had never been in a relationship either.... more>>

Tang Xu’en went to find his good friend, Ji Wei, for a drink—--
“So it turns out Xiao Yuan likes men. What does it mean when a man likes another man? What kind of book should I read to know more about this?”
“That man is so old, he’s four years older than me! But he seems to be very rich. When I searched him online, he was on the ‘Billionaires List’. He’s from a completely different world from us. You come from a good background yourself, do you know him? Can you help me look into what kind of person he is? I’m afraid of Xiao Yuan being deceived.”
“Xiao Yuan, that child, is such a fool. He even said at the table that he thought you and I were a couple seeing how well we got along with each other and how we would always go out to play together. That was why he felt comfortable coming out to me.”

The alcohol had made his cheeks flush red and head dizzy. He softly continued, “Xiao Yuan is really talking nonsense. He actually said that you like me. Wouldn’t that tarnish your reputation?”
Ji Wei drank from his glass and said calmly, “Firstly, you should change your way of thinking. Even if I really did like you, it would not tarnish my reputation. You shouldn’t regard liking a man as a bad thing.”
Tang Xu’en nodded blankly.
Ji Wei continued as he helped pour him another glass, “Besides, someone as good as you deserves to be liked.”
Tang Xu’en blushed at this praise of his. Feeling embarrassed, he turned his attention to drinking.

The next day.
When Tang Xu’en woke up, he found himself sleeping on the same bed as his good friend, Ji Wei.
He only vaguely remembered that last night, Ji Wei had said that he would tell him what it meant for a man to like another man. He had readily accepted this offer and even praised Ji Wei, saying that he was truly his best friend.

NB: There is a play on words in the title. ‘Tang’ is the surname of the three MC’s in this novel and it also means soup.

A War Without Casualties.... more>>

The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighbouring Giadian Empire’s army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that’s what the government claims.

In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the “nonexistent” Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the “unmanned” weapons into battle…

Shin is the leader of a squadron of eighty-sixers. Lena is a “handler” who commands the detachment from the remote rear with the help of special communication technology.

The farewell story of the severe and sad struggle of these two begins! <<less
