After a red meteor slashed through the heavens, human progress ground to a halt. ... more>>

Since that momentous day, humanity lost its ability to create rockets, nuclear weapons, airplanes, cars...

The towering pyramid of civilization, meticulously built from the achievements of modern science, crumbled into dust.

Yet, the catastrophe didn't stop there. The grey realm, following the arrival of the red meteor, like a ghostly reflection behind a mirror, dragged the civilized world bit by bit into the abyss of disorder.

In this new age, a human life was no more significant than a speck of dust, yet amidst the ruins, humanity's spirit shone as brightly as the stars.

Amid the crumbling edifice, observers could see a figure—an actor—defiantly standing on the wreckage of civilization, his red cloak as vivid as blood, his expressions flickering between laughter and tears. Behind him, the curtain of the era gently parted. With arms wide open, he whispered to all who would listen— "Let the show begin." <<less

From childhood to adulthood, Luo Zhi didn’t seem to have done anything right.... more>>

His biological parents didn’t like him. They only saw an excellent eldest brother, a caring sister, and a sensible stepson in their eyes. The sister whom is well-behaved towards everyone else, only treats him as air. The childhood friend that he grew up with would accept his gifts on the surface, only to turn around and throw it to the stray dogs on the roadside.

When he debuted as a singer, it was not gifts that he received, but countless of threatening letters scolding him for using his family background to oppress others and threatening him to quit the circle. He started his own film and television company, and spent money to hire an eighteenth-tier star to say “Happy Birthday” to him. When the little star unexpectedly exploded into the top stream, it was regarded as a robbery by fans, and it was picked up and scolded all the way to the hot search. The family accidentally fell overboard, and Luo Zhi was immersed in the bone-chilling ice cold water. He could only watch as his always indifferent eldest brother eagerly stretch out his hand to save his adopted brother.

When he was completely engulfed by the darkness, Luo Zhi finally felt that the world was really dull. If there was someone who can love him, let them appear. He wasn’t able to find them anyways.

After waking up in the hospital, he leaned back against the bed. He didn’t care current state of health nor did he care about the treatment. He was no longer interested in anything. But this time, everything was different.

His parents kept going to top hospitals and begged countless doctors just to save his life. The eldest brother’s eyes were red while he took care of him. His sister cried to the point of fainting by his bedside.

With scarlet eyes and fierce methods, he frantically took revenge on the eighteenth-tier star who slandered him at the beginning. He was inexplicably on the hot search once again, but this time the entry became #The whole world is waiting for Luo Zhi to come back#.

Later, the whole world did not wait for Luo Zhi.

However, someone familiar with the matter revealed that the Ming family, who built an entire maritime business empire and sank a top-level luxury cruise ship worth hundreds of billions of yuan, not only has another young master, but also the youngest captain who sails the world. <<less

Ye Yunting, the unpopular first son of the Duke of Qi, was married by an imperial decree to Prince Yong’an, Li Fengqi.... more>>

Prince Yong’an defended the northern border and had killed countless enemies, deserving the title of the “War God of Bei Zhao”.

However, when Ye Yunting married him, this bed-ridden War God was already poisoned, his meridians severed.
　　　　
Ye Yunting was devastated by the marriage. Out of fear of the War God’s reputation, he hid in his own courtyard to live a life of peace. Not long after, he accidentally drank the poisonous soup given to the Prince of Yong’an and died.

Before his death, the Yong’an prince, who was said to be dying, half-knelt in front of his bed, held his hand, and solemnly promised, “You lost your life because of me. From now on, I will do my best to protect your loved ones, so go in peace.”

Later on, he ascended the throne as the emperor, and indeed honored his promise to shelter Ye Yunting’s only family.

In his second life, Ye Yunting still couldn’t avoid the fate of marrying Prince Yong’an. But this time, he decided to take good care of the dying man and repay his kindness from his previous life.

However, he did not expect the man to be cured and then to be impatiently pulled into his arms.

He was held tightly in the man’s embrace: “Follow me. From now on, I will protect you.”

【Serious Version Synopsis】
As demons wreak havoc across the continent of Divine Land, humanity retreats to sprawling metropolises, barely clinging to survival amidst rising discord.

From north to south, divisions deepen; noble houses and imperial factions clash incessantly; the common folk suffer under oppression; and roving bands of rebels bide their time, ready to upheave the fragile order at a moment's notice.

Describing this human world in two words?

1. To regain his health through physical training.

2. To become stronger!

[Worldgate Online] the worlds first full-scale VRMMORPG.... more>>

After maxing out the notoriously bad healer class and completing an ascension event, I got transported into a world that closely resembled the game, but in which most of the game’s systems had disappeared, even though my appearance and skills remained the same.

Even though I am a boy, the pretty girl I was playing as became my real body, with shining wings on my back. A race that can “heal” the wounds of the world, which should have been extinct long ago.

But isn’t that a bit too harsh of a start for a level 1 healer?

The story is about a protagonist with low combat power and various handicaps, relying on those around him to overcome their problems. <<less

Eugenia Biscon was the second daughter of a poor country family who thought she would live a normal life like everyone else after meeting a decent viscount as her prospective husband, but everything started to change after a nightmare she suffered a few days ago. ... more>>

“Lady Biscon?”

In the ballroom prepared by His Highness the King, Elliott Burns, the hero who had defeated the dragon, appeared there before her, and Eugenie froze as if struck by lightning the moment she saw him. Surprisingly it was a familiar face. No, to be exact it was a face she knew very well, although she had never seen it before.

Elliott Burns was the mu*derer who appeared in her nightmares from few days ago where he massacred all of her family. And now, that same mu*derer was staring at her persistently. <<less

The Marquis Yunyang was deposed by the Emperor and his family ended up in dire straits overnight. As such, the Third Miss of the Shen Household, her family’s most precious jewel, found herself abandoned by all with a sick brother on her hands. Having no other choice, she set up a cosmetics shop in Chang’an.... more>>

But to the eyes of all, especially her relatives’, she had become nothing but an alluring flower any man could pick at will.

Passing by her Baixiang Pavilion, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Zhen, Lu Yan, witnessed her being harassed by the idle sons of Chang’an’s leading class. Her appearance reminded him of dreams that had been plaguing him lately, revealing to him a past with her and the sultry love affair they had shared in a previous life.

With shaking fingers, he also remembered the bitter taste of heartbreak when she left him to marry another man.

Thus, in this life, he decided to save her once more, lure her into an affair, install her as his mistress and never let her escape his sphere of influence again.

However, to keep Shen Zhen by his side, finding her a place to stay and caring for her brother was not enough. Little did Lu Yan know he would be pulled into the darkest corners of Chang’an and take part in games of power that at times implicated the Main Gentleman of the Empire, the Emperor himself. Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.

All for the sake of Chang’an’s First Beauty. <<less

Wu Miaomiao was the last in line of the Witch Clan. When she was 2 years old, her master found her a fiancé. When she was 18 years old, she felt that it was time to meet with this fiancé. And so, she carried her school bag and took the train into the city.... more>>

“My dearest husband, come follow me back to the mountains.”

Ji Lang was amused. Amongst the ghosts he had met, this was the first time he met one who came to groomnap.

“In that case, shouldn’t we first have our nuptial night?” said Ji Lang. Wu Miaomiao tilted her head. She felt it was logical and headed home with her husband.

Ji Lang was the reincarnation of Ephialtes. It was said that if he was to be fully awakened, he would possess the powers to drown the entire human population in their nightmares. He could enter into anybody’s dreams, probe into their dreamscapes and pry into their deepest secrets.

Because of this ability, for these 20 years, Ji Lang could not have a good night's sleep. He was forced to sink into all sorts of nightmares till the day he met the girl from the Witch Clan. On the first day he met her, he slept on her bed.

Ji Lang: “You said that you are my wife? (I finally can have a proper sleep (#^.^#))”

The people from the metaphysical world feared the power of Ephialtes. They were constantly wary of him fully awakening his powers and destroying the world afterwards. They planted spies near him to put an end to him upon signs of his awakening.

Wu Miaomiao: “I heard that you people want to bully my dearest husband, I will curse you all oh~~~”

Ji Lang: (#^.^#)

Big shots from the metaphysical world: “When are the two of you going to divorce?”

Ji Lang: “Do you want to die?”

My husband entered an arranged marriage with me against his will. And he hates me.... more>>

I just lived every single day as though I was dead, waiting for the day that we’d get divorced…

“The Duke… seems to have lost his memory.”

“What…?”

Then, one day, he suddenly lost his memories. To be more exact, only memories of me had been wiped clean from his mind.

And it seems like this amnesiac husband of mine somehow fell in love with me…

“My dear… I’m really, really happy that you’re my wife.”

Who is this… this puppy-like man…?

Isn’t he the same man who bares his teeth at me every time he sees me?

“Once you remember everything, you’re going to regret it all. You’re being so nice to me like this…”

“No, I won’t. Not even a little bit.”

Haa. Seriously… He talks to me so sweetly now, but this will definitely turn into a shameful past that he’d come to regret later on.

After he recovers his memories, I know for sure that my husband will finally push ahead with the divorce.

I should prepare for it in advance. <<less

“I’ll fix your dress according to your taste this instant!”

“My request.”

“O-Of course! As per your request, there’s only one piece available in the whole Empire.”

People around me listen to me well even if I just frown and sit still. Since I don’t have to live in difficulty, I decided to just comfortably live on as a villainess.

“Father. Is it necessary for you to solve formulas in this slow and inefficient way?”

I thought it would be good to be a rich villainess, so I used all my knowledge.

“Why don’t you give me the honor of escorting the Princess?”

I have had enough of dealing with my father, so why did an unexpected character suddenly appear? What if this person disrupts my plan? <<less

"Your Highness, there’s something I’d really like for my birthday."... more>>

"What is it?"

"Will you promise to listen?"

Then the man blatantly laughed.

But who would point out his arrogance – a young Northern Duke who’s not even afraid of the Emperor? He could even get a throne if he wished for it.

But it was just a sweet lover’s birthday wish.

"Alright. I swear."

So, Juliet spoke lightly,

"Please break up with me. I don’t love you anymore."

A fiance just for show. A succession of meaningless nights.

Now is the time to end seven years of unrequited love. <<less

After her rebirth, Mingzhu from the bottom of her heart had only one wish : to escape from the cold and heartless crown Prince.

Mingzhu pretended to be moved on the surface, but when the time was right, she carried her pregnant belly and immediately ran away. After the person ran away, the prince only then deeply experienced how to write the word regret. <<less
