Shu Tang woke up one day to find the world gone mad; humanity was no longer content with just male and female, creating six ABO genders instead.

Shu Tang felt she might be one of the common betas, making up 80% of the population—non-aggressive, not too sensitive, quite peace-loving, and without anything extra to her person, just an utterly ordinary beta.

Then, on her adulthood test: Supreme Alpha!

Shu Tang: ?

Shu Tang's spirit is a cat. Supported by her SSS-tier spirit, she not only interned at the federal secret sanatorium but also got matched with a fragile omega.

When visiting her delicate fiancé, she mistook 10 for 01 and entered Restricted Area No. 1.

In the Restricted Area lives "Patient No. 1".

An unbeaten legend, the grand leader of the federation, known as the pioneer of human nuclear weapons.

This leader is an omega, with a merman as his spirit—no secret there.

However, due to his monstrous combat abilities, the discussions usually aren't about whether he's omega, but whether he's human at all.

After a psychic outburst, he became a "monster."

Wherever he resided turned into the Restricted Area.

Those who trespassed met grim fates.

Shu Tang entered the Restricted Area.

Reportedly, her fiancé was too frail to fend for himself.

She saw her fiancé's terrifying, silent figure in the dark.
Shu Tang noted: He must be shy.

She saw her fiancé's fishtail in the sea, water dripping down, his complexion pale and eyes pitch black.
Shu Tang noted: Low blood sugar.

She found her fiancé's voice hoarse, never speaking, only emitting beast-like, raspy threatening sounds from his throat.
Shu Tang noted: Quiet by nature, not talkative.

Shu Tang managed to get out.

An alpha asked: Did you see any terrifying beings?

Shu Tang: "Are you talking about the blue rose?"

Other alphas: ?

Blue rose? Who?

Cat, blushing: "He's nice, just not very healthy."

Other alphas: ?

Why would she be blushing?

Later, everyone thought Cat a was the one who most relied on the grand leader.

But they didn’t know—

To him, Cat was the blue rose, his spiritual support, his lifeline, his entire conception of living.

She was the one he clung to as he withered.

And in her presence, he grew silently. <<less

S Vol. 1... more>>

Shiba is a detective in the fifth anti-organized crime division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, a.k.a. “Anti-Gang 5” specializing in handgun seizures. Shiba’s secret weapon is “S” (“spy”), an informant who plays a key role in Shiba’s information gathering. Shiba is training an informant who has been officially accepted into Shinjuku’s Matsukura Group within the Budoha crime syndicate. One day, Shiba awakes to an anonymous phone call. “Watch out for your S.” A tale of two men whose lust, pride and loneliness collide!

S Vol. 2: A Love Bite

Detective Masaki Shiiba's informant or "S," Keigo Munechika, has proven himself to be an excellent source of information. But the payment of s*x for every lead given is taking its toll on Shiiba. But with his new assignment as back-up to a fellow undercover detective, Shiiba learns that there are far worse things than having s*x with your male S--falling helplessly in love with him, for example. S volume 2 continues the drama and passion between a detective and his spy set in the highly-charged underground world of Tokyo.

S Vol. 3: Split

For almost a year now, Shiiba has been using Keigo Munechika as his “S,” his spy, to get information on the gun dealings of the Yakuza world. Shiiba uses his body in exchange for Munechika's sensitive information… and only his body as far as Shiiba is concerned. Shiiba vows their relationship will not go beyond that. But when a rowdy young man with a penchant for piercing and an enigmatic Yakuza leader cross paths with the young detective, sins of the past are unearthed once more-sins that just might shatter the fragile bond between the detective and his “S.”

S Vol. 4: Afterglow

At the end of S volume 3, detective Masaki Shiiba was last seen running away from the hospital room of his injured S, Keigo Munechika. Now, Shiiba has turned in his resignation, bought a gun of his own, and is bent on only one mission--to kill Takanari Godou. He vows to get the truth from Godou, even if he has to throw away his morals and life to do it. But can he do it? Can he shoot another person and commit cold-blooded mu*der for revenge? <<less

The staff frowned as they looked at the handsome young man in front of them.... more>>

No wonder he's a top graduate, with that skin, those features. With his appearance alone, he certainly has the qualifications to be an outstanding graduate.

When the young man restrained the few traces of gentleness on the surface, his expressionless face truly resembled a cold and stunning beauty. He didn't need to do anything; just standing there was enough to tantalize people's hearts and lungs.

—With such a cold and elegant face, he could surely fit into a "forced love" script.

Little did anyone know, this person just has a cold facade, but his mind was focused solely on being a good wife, assisting his husband and educate his children, doing laundry and cooking. <<less

I don't know anything about the outside world, about human warmth, about my parents' love, about words, about food, about clothes, about joy, anger, sorrow, and self-expression.
My mother left this world due to a difficult childbirth, and as a result, my father never smiled at me, gave me nothing but violence, locked me in a private room, gave me only a small piece of bread that was too hard for me to eat and a glass of water a day, and kept me in confinement.

And the person who appeared in front of me, the cat, and the bird was not an assassin, but a scary-looking, very strong older brother.
Why?

I was reincarnated into a bloody novel famous for its bad ending!... more>>

I’m even the last “doll” of the tyrant Emperor, who is suffering from insomnia due to his severe trauma?

I must survive his grasp until the original heroine appears a year later to save the tyrant.

But he’s starting to obsess over me, while I’m thinking about running away to safety?

Even the heroine who appeared earlier than expected is suspicious!

‘Then what about my grand plan to leave the tyrant to the heroine and run away?’

Will I be able to survive safely?

***

“Who are you.”

The hairs on my whole body stood up. It was as if a hungry black panther was making a threatening sound.

“I must have told you not to let anyone in.”

I saw golden eyes that seemed to be made by melted honey between scattered black hair.

I was suffocated when I met with those fascinating, but young eyes.

‘You’re not gonna kill me if I make eye contact with you, are you?’

He came close to me while I was distracted for a moment.

‘What just happened?’

I was suffocated as soon as I was surprised.

It was because the emperor, who came closer to me in no time, grabbed my waist and lifted me into the air.

‘Well, at this rate, I’m going to die right now, let alone three years of dawn!’

The golden eyes that entranced me shook slightly.

A moment passed, and a husky and low voice flowed through his red lips.

“Lily… … Ana?”

“Lilly… do you know?”

That was the name of the original heroine.

And it was the moment that I officially became a tyrant’s doll. <<less

The Northern Garrison Prince possesses authority that reaches all the way to heaven, surpassing tens of thousands of people.

The mute s*ave was born with the beauty of an exiled immortal, but also the disability of voicelessness; because of his appearance that might attract misfortune, he was locked away in the courtyard by his mother.

Suddenly one day, the prefectural magistrate’s household bestows upon him the name of Shen Yu and sends people to teach him how to serve another before delivering him onto the bed of the “Living King of Hell.” Will he become the tenth ghost to die unjustly under the Northern Garrison Prince’s body?

Somewhere with strange people and endless dark forest.
One could occasionally hear crying at dawn.

As soon as he realized that he was in someone else’s body named ‘Ian’, the high gates were opened, and he met the owner of the mansion, who had blue blood on him; the color of the serpent.

"I've been worried a lot since you got back covered in blood.
It's good to see you breathing fine."

His hair disheveled and as dark as the night. Tall, dark skinned with slender eyes, the aura around him felt slightly dominant.

[Ah, he’s the man I had already killed.]

Ian realizes the moment he looks at his face,

He can't think of his name or the reason why I killed him.
The man had a suspicious attitude…. <<less

The rich second generation Song JingWei transmigrated to the ancient times when there were more men but fewer women. The scum sister designed him to lose his chastity, become pregnant, and be reviled by others.... more>>

Song JingWei calmly married to the countryside and his life changed drastically. The other party was the son of a peasant family who was not only a farmer but also a scholar and was from the family which had everything to do with both the studying and farming for generations.

The only son of the Shen family, Shen JunXi, was poor and dumb, and still single at the age of twenty-four. An accident caused him to marry the young master of the richest family in LiHua Town, and it caused a sensation in the whole village.

Shen JunXi knew that he was not good enough to keep Song JingWei. But in the days together, he still tried his best to love him, pamper him, and respect him. <<less

His elder brother fell off a cliff, his fate unknown. ... more>>

Rumors spread that Shen Hanxing became cold-blooded, bloodthirsty, and brutal. Everyone avoided him as much as possible.

The emperor chose a wife for him, and the illegitimate daughter of the Lin family, Lin Xingxue, was deemed compatible with Shen Hanxing based on their astrological signs. With an imperial decree, Lin Xingxue married into the residence of Jinning Hou as a celebratory event during illness.

On the day of the grand wedding, he sat in a wheelchair, looking towards the young girl with an indifferent expression.

Lin Xingxue suppressed her fear, held onto his hand, wrote the characters for “husband” on his palm, and silently said his name with her lips.

The skin on her fingertips trembled faintly as she, both frightened and determined, moved closer to him. Her pair of eyes were pure and clear.

Afterwards, the imperial physician asserted that he had at most one year left to live. Lin Xingxue waited until there was no one around before daring to cry.

Shen Hanxing listened outside the room for a while before finally pushing the door open. The young girl’s eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn’t dare let him see.

He took a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on her face, casually asking, “You don’t want me to die?”

“But if I live, you’ll have to stay by my side for the rest of your life. Are you willing?”

“Willing!” The girl’s voice was firm, without a hint of hesitation.

Shen Hanxing chuckled lightly. Perhaps he believed it, perhaps he didn’t.

Later, he indeed fulfilled his words from that day. They became inseparable, sharing their lives together until death did them apart.

He seized control of the world, transferring the power from the ruler. Holding her hand with determination, together they ascended to the highest position, causing everyone to bow before them. For the rest of their lives, no one dared to disrespect or mistreat her again; just as he had vowed to protect her for a lifetime.
