After becoming the stand-in for the ‘White Moonlight’, the real ‘White Moonlight’ has returned.... more>>

Qiao Wan has always understood that she is the substitute for Mu Xiaoxiao, the younger martial sister of the Kunshan Sect, whom they found as a replacement after Mu Xiaoxiao passed away.

Her martial uncle, elder brother, and elder martial sisters cared for her mainly due to her resemblance to Mu Xiaoxiao.

Despite how others said she wasn’t as brave, adorable, or smart as Mu Xiaoxiao, Qiao Wan didn’t mind that her own worth was erased. She doubled her efforts, hoping not to disappoint the expectations of her sect.

One day, the dearly beloved and long-gone Mu Xiaoxiao, the true younger martial sister of the Kunshan Sect, returned, reclaiming everything that belonged to her.

As the stand-in for ‘White Moonlight’, the counterfeit Qiao Wan felt embarrassed, indignant, emotionally broken down, she angrily flipped the table and ‘left the mountain’, declaring that she wouldn’t continue this substitute role.

For so many years, she had been living for others. Now, Qiao Wan just wanted to live her life in a dignified manner for once, and not to forget, to crush those foolish people who tried to manipulate her.

The defendant Kiska is hereby banished to the interior of the dungeon for the crime of mu*der.... more>>

So said the judge.

Kiska was falsely accused and banished to the dungeon interior.

Kiska was persecuted in the village because he had the same hair color as the family that betrayed the humans.

To make matters worse, the village chief’s child killed someone he loved, and Kiska took the blame for it.

Hateful. He hates all the villagers who have humiliated him so much that he wants to kill them all with his own hands.

But for Kiska, who had no skills and was not an adventurer, being banished to the depths of the dungeon was like a death sentence.

But.

“I will save you.”

At the moment he was attacked by the demons, and he foresaw his own death, someone told him that he was going to die.

“The skill I’m going to give you is called ‘Save and Reset’.”

Someone had given him a skill.

With this skill, Kiska has the power to rewind time back to just before he was killed by a demon.

This seemed to avert death, but it was only the beginning of hell.

This is the story of a man with nothing but the power of reverting back to death, who dies many times while trying to conquer the most difficult dungeon. <<less

Sirens: a name derived from an ancient creature, used to describe those who could charm, lure, control, and heal others by singing.... more>>

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered, “Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

“Let’s fall down to hell together.”

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

[Marry me.] Aria extended her hand and gave him the contract. [Let’s get divorced in 10 years…]

The young duke took the contract from her hand.

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

[I’ve found someone I like, so I want you to break up with me.]... more>>

My childhood friend and girlfriend, Yoshino Sumika, suddenly broke up with me at a family restaurant.

[Is there anything wrong with me?]

[I guess it’s because there’s nothing wrong with you.]

Even when I asked her why she didn’t like me anymore, I wasn’t convinced at all, but Sumika just said what she said and left the family restaurant.

At that moment, when I was tormented by the sadness of being dumped by Sumika and was feeling desperate, thinking that I wanted to die, what I saw was a beautiful girl who was about to be hit by a car.

I pushed her away and lost consciousness.

◆◇

When I woke up, I was on a hospital bed, and I saw a beautiful girl who was leaning against me sleeping, and I could have mistaken her for an angel.

The beautiful girl, Arayashiki Kohime, seemed to be the girl I had saved, and she suddenly said to me,

“Please let me return the favor !”

Thus, I was repaid with a favor from Kohime, who was tens, thousands, or even a billion times prettier and gentler than Sumika, and we began to build the best relationship ever. <<less

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

The first day Song Yan transferred to his new school, he met his new roommate being blocked by gangsters in an alley asking to pay up a debt.... more>>

The stick in the new roommate’s hands fell, and the little gangster fled in defeat, but didn’t forget to yell in anger while running:

“Look at your little white face, if you find a wealthy woman and get rich, how can you still be afraid to pay up!”

The new roommate looked on in approval, and seemed to have realized the light: “Makes sense.”

Song Yan: “……” What kind of nonsense.

So to block his new roommate from going astray, Song Yan began the road to ruin of targeted poverty alleviation for pure and beautiful male high school students.

No money to buy dinner, so he treated him. No money for book expenses, so he sponsored it. No money for a scarf, so he took advantage of the buy one get one promotion from the store in front of the school to send him a scarf.

The eldest young master Song who already had his expenses cut off by his family had no choice but to learn to be thrifty and hardworking.

Later, his dad brought him to attend a dinner banquet: “Come, Xiao Yan, let me introduce you to grandpa Xia’s grandson, Xia Zhiye.”

Song Yan looked at the boy in front of him wearing a custom-made suit, with the worn out scarf that he dredged out from the buy one get one promotion in front of the school wrapped around his neck, and expressionlessly raised up a knife.

That night, in some male high school’s dorm room came the yell of domestic violence: “f*ck off, don’t pretend to be poor with me!”

However the target of the domestic violence patiently coaxed him: “I didn’t pretend to be poor, I’m really poor. But later on I’ll be very rich, and I’ll even give it to my boyfriend to manage, so how about you consider it again?” <<less

Xia Qing died and was forcibly thrown into a book, becoming a sidekick to a tyrant. The system told him that as long as he took over the tyrant’s body and completed the plot, he could come back to life. Xia Qing looked at the unpredictable and cruel new emperor of the Chu Kingdom in front of him, rolled his eyes, and said, “Come back to life? Don’t you know I died poor in my previous life? Get lost, don’t stop me from reincarnating.”... more>>

The system shrank back, bracing itself, “Um… Host, how about I introduce the plot to you first? Maybe you’ll change your mind.”

Xia Qing reached out and grabbed it, “I don’t want to hear it. Shut up and send me back.”

However, the system didn’t shut up. Right in front of him, it talked non-stop, rapidly narrating a cheesy and popular story. The plot of the tyrant in the book was basically a series of suicidal actions in the early stages, followed by being hopelessly in love with the protagonist but unable to be with him, getting tortured and heartbroken to death.

The system cautiously asked, “Don’t you want to know the ending?”

What a joke. Xia Qing covered its mouth, “I don’t!”

“But I do.” A light laugh came from across the table.

Xia Qing and the system looked up at the same time.

The young emperor, who had been turning pages with his head down, finally put down the book and looked over. With his flowing black hair and snowy white robe, he placed his hand on the table and smiled gently at Xia Qing. His voice became tender and affectionate, as if whispering to a lover, “Go on, let him speak. I want to hear my own ending.”

Cold as ice, his tone was so light that it seemed capable of cutting through moonlight.

For certain reasons, the two of them reached an agreement.

#What’s it like to have a double soul with the tyrant?#

#It’s a tale of surviving (suicidal) in the palace.#

Lou Guan Xue was inherently cruel and sinister, with deep-seated hatred buried within his flesh and blood, like an evil spirit. When he first met the soul from another world, his mind was cold, and he only wanted to use him. But unexpectedly, due to a twist of fate, that person saw all his past — he saw the ugliest, most cowardly, and humiliating side of him, yet chose to rescue him from those memories filled with mud and blood.

Lou Guan Xue once thought about killing him.

But on the day when the tower collapsed, with merfolk turning into demons and darkness enveloping the world, that person put down his sword and his soul disappeared.

He knelt before the formation with bloodshot eyes, his black hair turning white, falling into madness overnight.

Afterward, Lingwei flowers blossomed throughout the heavens and earth, in the blue sky and yellow springs, all in search of one person.

And the receiver’s soul flying away isn’t caused by the attacker, mainly for the sake of returning to the original body (the synopsis feels like too many spoilers, whatever, it’s just a short story, love it or leave it)! Actually, there’s not much emotional turmoil in the plot. <<less

Win Rate: 100/100

No wonder they were afraid.

The first time he saw An Wujiu, Shen Ti felt curious. The kindness and fragility in those eyes were not fake, so how could he survive in the Altar? It was until he saw the man had a sudden personality change. He recklessly gambled regardless of the cost, casually estranged people, grew further excited on the verge of death, and even calculated against himself to win. Only then did Shen Ti realize that it was his own cognitive bias.

The washed-up magician Zong Jiu transmigrated into a horror, infinite flow novel about a survival show, taking the place of the cannon fodder who died tragically in the first evaluation round. This show was very interesting. Out of the tens of thousands of people, only a hundred people could survive, and the c-position (strongest contender) could even get a universal wish ticket.... more>>

If it were someone else, they’d probably be scared to death.

No one expected that Zong Jiu was not only unafraid, but also caused a sensational stir, shamelessly showing off his tricks the whole way.

Once his tricks stopped, and his life could be considered safe and sound, he ended up in a rivalry with the novel’s big villain.

Today you try to get at me, tomorrow I’ll get you back, back and forth, it’s pretty fun, heh.

As a result, though it was just playing around, one time they got carried away and really did end up sleeping together. Watching the nemesis who was pressing him to the ground, Zong Jiu lazily lifted his gaze. “If you want to kill me then kill me, don’t speak nonsense.” Even when at a disadvantage, he showed no trace of fear, and actually continued to provoke him.

That person used his ice-cold finger to trace his ear, and the action heading toward the aorta suddenly stopped.

“What a pity. I’ve changed my mind.”

—

He was once very willing to personally give Zong Jiu death. Every day, he used to regret not gouging out his flesh, personally snapping his neck. But after this person fell into his hands, another, more urgent desire grew like weeds.

Compared to winning or losing, he would rather see him crying and panting, with eyes red, begging for mercy. <<less

Tang Bai was born into a wealthy family. His body was soft and slender, and he loved to act spoiled. His family searched far and wide to find him a handsome and rich prospective fiancé. However, the prospective fiancé liked independent and strong omegas and was very resistant to this business marriage.... more>>

One day, Tang Bai’s brain short circuited, causing him to believe that he lived in a book. He was the cannon fodder shou, and his prospective fiancé was the protagonist gong. The protagonist shou, Xie Ruheng, was a strong, independent omega of the new era who pretended to be an alpha. In the future, he would become a marshal and the light of the omegas.

No wonder the love-filled bento that he worked super hard to make was rejected by his prospective fiancé who didn’t even look at it. Tang Bai’s eyes reddened as he turned around. He saw that Xie Ruheng was eating the horrible tasting training meal. How could the future light of the omegas eat this kind of devil’s cruise that was fed to the pigs?

Tang Bai shyly said: “This was personally made by me. Us omegas need to pay attention to our diet and take care of our bodies~”

Xie Ruheng: ……?

The first time Xie Ruheng saw Tang Bai, he thought that even when this omega cried, he was still like the omega of his dreams. Although Tang Bai was virtuous, delicate, beautiful, and cute, he already had a prospective fiancé!

Xie Ruheng expressed with grief: “I won’t be the third party.”

Tang Bai was extremely moved, thinking that Xie Ruheng had already become good sisters with him and wouldn’t come to steal his man. There was a saying that Alphas were like clothes and good sisters were like one’s hands and feet. Don’t worry, I will definitely take good care of you!

Xie Ruheng: ……

Very soon, Xie Ruheng heard a rumor. Tang Bai’s prospective fiancé hated Tang Bai, but he couldn’t defy the orders of his family, so he could only create trouble for Tang Bai everywhere.

Xie Ruheng: This is the omega of my dreams that I want to hold in the palm of my hands, and you actually don’t cherish him? tr*sh!

Xie Ruheng: Isn’t it just stealing a man? So sweet.
