During the reign of Emperor Yizong in the Tang Dynasty, the well-known female detective Huang Zixia turned from a talented woman who solved crimes to a mu*derer who killed her whole family overnight, and became a wanted criminal hunted by the government with an arrest warrant in every county. Li Shubai was born a prince, but he was weighed down by the looming curses of “widowhood, loneliness and sickness” that followed him like an inescapable plague. When the emperor bestowed the marriage, the prospective princess consort behaved suspiciously, and the curse of “widowhood” was threatening to be realized.... more>>

Huang Zixia had fled to the capital alone seeking redressal of the tragic grievances that suddenly befell her, and met Li Shubai, the Prince of Kui by chance. Li Shubai, who saw through Huang Zixia’s disguise, promised to help her re-investigate the brutal mu*der of her family members to exonerate her of the charges. In exchange, he asked her to go undercover as an imperial eunuch and stay at the Prince Kui manor to investigate the unfathomable mystery that had been perturbing him for a long time. <<less

There exist in this world a set of six daggers that carry a terrible curse: the ability to inflict a death beyond time. Those under the daggers' curse shall reincarnate without end, never able to know happiness and always drawn to die once more by the dagger. This is the story of "Raine" and "Marie", two souls bound by the daggers' curse to kill one another, over and over again.... more>>

France, 1243. Lapis Lazuli Castle is the name of an insignificant relay fort nestled away in a forest east of Carcassonne. Its ruler, Count Geoffroy, and his only daughter, Marie, are both believed to be insane. The root cause of their shared madness is the mysterious disappearance of Geoffroy's wife three years ago, which caused Geoffroy to grow detached from humanity and cast Marie into a deep depression. After three years of wandering in a state halfway to nonexistence, Marie works up the nerve to ask her chief bodyguard, Sir Raine, to investigate her mother's death, confiding that on the night of her mother's disappearance, she had witnessed something impossible. However, her investigation only prompts a new tragedy.

The French-German border, 1916. As World War I rages on, Raine and Marie's latest reincarnations live the life of a sub-lieutenant in the French army and a medic with the Red Cross, respectively. The two lovers are reunited at the site of the Battle of Verdun, but no sooner have they met then Raine finds himself faced with a barrage of impossible circumstances. An enemy soldier's head suddenly vanishes, right before his eyes. One of his subordinates reports the same thing happening to an ally. Four more headless bodies vanish from a flooded bunker in the minute he looks away. These baffling events are a prelude to the return of their old tragedy.

Northern Hokkaido, 1989. Kimiyo, age eighteen, is already dying, an inoperable tumor in her hypothalamus leaving her with less than a year to live. Refusing to despair in the face of her tragic circumstances, she spends her remaining days with her friends at "The Library at the End of the World", a private library so called due to its isolated nature. One day, a man named Kito approaches her out of the blue, regaling her with a story about a set of cursed daggers, knights in the 13th century, and the two of them being cursed, fated lovers. Naturally, Kimiyo is intensely skeptical, but the events that come next don't require her to believe in them.

Arriving at the scene of these three tragedies is Snowy, an enigmatic figure of indeterminate gender who claims to be "a detective charged with managing the world's chaos". <<less

I got trapped in a horror game where a maniacal mu*derer is on the loose. The only way to escape the game is to collect evidence about the mu*derer and identify them.

The setting of this horror game is the luxurious mansion of Duke Albert.

And I have possessed Duke Albert’s second child, Leah Albert, struggling to find the mu*derer.

But the three family members, who are suspects, are acting strangely.

I was just following the ‘system’ to clear the horror game by completing missions…

‘What do you want me to teach you?’

‘Just like you used to teach me letters when I was young, one by one…’

‘Lionel.’

‘Please control my d*ck, sister.’

Suddenly, my younger brother Lionel rubs his genit@ls against me, choking back tears.

As if the younger brother wasn’t enough trouble, Leah’s twin brother Lycan goes even further.

‘I know you slept with father, Leah.’

‘It’s a misunderstanding! I can explain everything.’

‘With you, I was finally perfect. But now that you’ve abandoned me, I am just a defective product that should be discarded.’

He’s a headache who would easily commit su*cide if he doesn’t get my attention, causing me to game out.

…And the most suspicious person in the mansion, our father Duke Daymond Albert,

‘I should check how my daughter has been doing in my absence.’

‘…’

‘What are you doing? Strip.’

He wants to control everything from his grown daughter’s meals to her baths.

This bastard is not normal either.

Can I safely find the mu*derer among my obsessed family members? <<less

The happy ending of a romance to be written into history. Beyond that are numerous forgotten faces.

After the married couple of the Pendleton Grand Duchy decorated the century with their growth into lovers from a secretive 'Daddy Long Legs' patron and beneficiary, the act of exchanging letters within secret patronages just like them became the trend.

However, would that romantic clandestine patronage always bring happiness?

Once her roommate became the victim of an attempted mu*der case, Andie Julinas, a prospective officer who was currently attending the Academy as a student of the Military Department with the help of a patron, put forth the hypothesis that the recent serial cases of mu*ders were targetting the recipients of secret patronages.

And before she knew it, she, too, was already long entangled within the case!

"I'm the fourth son, so there's no need for a heir, and since I can't use a gun, there's no need for me to go out to the site of the incident, so I can take care of the household, not to mention I'm from the upper class, so I'll be able to educate the children well......."

Cui Heng was transmigrated to another world and the system told him that the new world he was in was a high-grade Xianxia world.... more>>

It was a world where Celestial Kings soared the sky and terrifying monsters ruled the lands. The strong would destroy a planet if their mood was bad and Cui Heng trembled in fear when he learned of how scary the new world was.

Thankfully, the system had granted him the protection that last for 300 years. As long as he remained in the safety zone, he would not receive any damage.

With his safety secured, he began his cultivation training for the next 300 years.

Throughout the years as he trained, some people entered his safety zone by mistake.

There was a peasant who was once a monk and a beggar. Despite that, he still had the dream of bringing peace to the land and saving the lives of millions.

There was a noble who was once called the once-in-a-million-year genius. Yet, luck wasn’t at his side and his talent fell and was laughed at by others for years.

There was a princess whose only wish was to find her older brother. She could’ve become a celestial but decided to remain in the human realm to wait for her brother’s return.

There was a weak lady who was plagued with illness from birth but had the goal of adventuring and helping the poor and weak.

Cui Heng befriended these people and even gave them a few pointers before they left.

When Fu Nian first met Chu Zhaoyi, the late emperor was still alive, and Chu Zhaoyi was still a Wangye.... more>>

But at their first meeting, Fu Nian experienced the ferocity of this future ruler.

A cacophony rang in his mind, and as the metallic tang of blood flowed along his numbed skin, Fu Nian heard that devilish voice tell him,

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler. Just a bit of thunder, and you’re reduced to such a state.”

Later, he would hear these words again, but it would be a long time later.

“Thunder and rain, all are the grace of a ruler,” Chu Zhaoyi pronounced deliberately by Fu Nian’s ear.

With the remnants of his strength, Fu Nian struggled to suppress a sob, “Your Majesty, such thunder and rain, this humble subject… truly doesn’t deserve.”

[Opening in November]
Fu Nian’s first life ended due to poison.

Sensing his impending fate, he believed that the heart-connecting gu inside him was planted by a pitiable scapegoat, ordered by the ruler. Not wanting to implicate innocent people, he forcefully removed the gu from his heart, gasping his last breath only after handing it to the Imperial Guards.

After death, Fu Nian realized that the one who had planted the heart-connecting gu wasn’t anyone else, but Chu Zhaoyi, the one above ten thousand others. He thought of Chu Zhaoyi as heartless and merciless, someone who didn’t trust him, let alone love him.

Only in death did Fu Nian know that his master, who had plucked him from the pile of corpses and nurtured him, didn’t treat him as a disposable pawn, but genuinely cared for him. After Fu Nian’s death, his master went madly searching for medicine, going so far as to use living people as ingredients, all to save Fu Nian’s life.

His Senior Brother, too, surprised him. Fu Nian had thought that their last meeting before parting ways was the night his Senior Brother gifted him a sword.

Little did he expect that the one keeping their childhood sword manuals was his Senior Brother, and the one keeping the birthday gift he sent was also his Senior Brother. And after his death… it was his Senior Brother who clung to the jar containing the heart-connecting gu that he had dug out, crying uncontrollably.

But what surprised Fu Nian the most was Chu Zhaoyi.

He never thought that Chu Zhaoyi, whom he believed never truly loved him.

Would, after his death, hold onto his already stiffened body, gently place the phoenix crown and red wedding robes he never dared dream of onto him, kiss him devoutly over and over again, and even, like they did in their lifetime, sleep side by side through the night.

Awakening from a deep slumber, Fu Nian discovers a chance to rectify all the regrets of his previous life.

Everything is still within reach.

The cat, who had seen him rush to the front to play with the ghosts, couldn't help but express a sincere question, "???"
