Soft and Cute Assistant X Yandere Movie Emperor... more>>

There are rumors in the entertainment industry that the movie emperor Gu Xiao is sexually cold and distant from women, which the assistant scoffs at.

Sexually cold and distant? Not interested in women? Then who is the man who daily flirts with her, stirring up her desires and making her legs weak from being charmed?

There are also rumors that during his student days, the movie emperor Gu Xiao admired a female student at the same school and turned into a stalker, peeping at her every day.

The assistant scoffs, "Hmph, even if it's about my Gu Xiao, the rumors should be decent. Handsome like Gu Xiao, the junior sister would be wrong not to stalk and peep at him!"

Until one day, the assistant accidentally enters the room that Gu Xiao strictly forbids anyone from entering and sees that it is filled with pictures of her from their student days to the present.

Pictures of them shopping, eating, even sleeping and bathing…

The assistant's legs tremble, bidding farewell to you, Movie Emperor?! Even if you were the Jade Emperor, I would still sass you! <<less

I asked an information guild to arrange a matchmaking.... more>>

I just needed someone to be my husband for a year.

B.U.T!

The information guild chief, who heard the request, offered to be my temporary husband?

He is handsome….No, I was married because the conditions were okay, but suddenly the emperor gave my husband a title?

“What? The Grand Duke of Carriard?”

That crazy warlord, mu*derer, the nightmare of the whole continent, that reckless guy is the incarnation of the evil who calls the blood?

Help me! I’ve been swindled!

” Yeah, So?”
“Well, sir! … The condition I asked for is obviously below the baron!.”
“So?”
“Nothing…”

The devilish red eyes glared at her. One more word and he will kill her. Will Leyrin be able to get out of her scary husband and escape a fraudulent marriage? <<less

After a year, Helian Chunfeng at last saw it again, that long-gone smile on Hua Baisu’s face — reckless and free, unrestrained and unobstructed — but it was at the time the other had resolutely sacrificed himself for him.... more>>

He always thought Hua Baisu ought to hate him. Just as he himself couldn’t overcome that obstacle in his heart all this time; likewise, as a man, how could the other willingly submit to be under him? But when the other was on death’s doorstep, uttering such sincere words, the sudden flood of pain and despair rising from the depths of his heart let him see the light: as it turns out, what lingered between them was never hatred, ah…

Perhaps Heaven took pity on this true love that was let down; Helian Chunfeng, unexpectedly, was reborn and returned to a few years ago. He finally realized what feelings Hua Baisu harbored all that time, voluntarily stranded in the imperial harem in the foreign land — and also how, for the sake of that ridiculous self-esteem of his, the other party took risk to conceive his flesh and blood for him, ultimately resulting in the pregnant and the unborn dying together in the finale.

Going through this life again, he can give up anything, his only wish being: let Hua Baisu be happy and worry-free, and live for a long, long time. <<less

After Que Yining calmly met her death, she accidently transmigrated as the female partner who shared the same name as her. The female partner was vicious, brainless, arrogant and unreasonable. And very notorious for her obsession with the male lead, but Que Yining doesn’t agree with this, she wasn't interested in the male lead.

Everyone betted that Que Yinning wouldn’t be able to take down Gu Shanxue. They have only seen Gu Shanxue’s indifference toward Que Yining's ambiguousness, but they didn’t see Gu Shanxue’s gloomy face when she saw Que Yining smiling at others.... more>> style="line-height: 40px;"> Gu Shanxue to Que Yining was not only the fire of desire but also the light of destiny. <<less

//// About the Japanese novel and anime adaptations ////

Originally serialized in the bimonthly magazine Shosetsu June (小説ジュネ) spanning six chapters from December 1986 to October 1987, the novel was released with minor revisions into a hardcover edition in 1990.
This first version of the story received a two-episode/OVA anime adaptation in 1992 and 1994.

Between the years 2001 and 2007, the original story was greatly expanded upon and released in six paperback volumes. After a change of Japanese publisher, two more volumes were released between 2009 and 2010, completing the series (the six aforementioned volumes were released as volumes 1-4 in the newest Japanese edition).
This second version of the story was meant to be adapted into a twelve-episode OVA anime—initially planned to release in 2010—but was postponed to 2012, only to be discontinued after the fourth episode’s release.

//// About the English translation ////

The English paperback expanded edition is made up of eight volumes: the six first volumes (Seibido/Crystal edition) + the two later volumes (#7 and #8 in English, but #5 and #6 in the newest Tokuma/Chara edition).
The change in Japanese publisher led to a change in translator for the English edition between vol1 to 6 and vol7 to 8: it is highly recommended to read the fan translations of #7 and #8 as opposed to reading the licensed edition, due to the massive loss in translation (expect a 50% word count difference between the two).

//// Current translation status of the different editions of the novel (as of April 20th, 2024) ////

. Shosetsu June edition, unlicensed: 2/6 chapters, ongoing fan translation.
. 1990 hardcover edition, unlicensed: 2/6 chapters, ongoing fan translation. An older fan translation had 4/6 chapters translated but the project was dropped.
. 2000’s expanded edition, English licensed: fully translated, complete.

//// Drama CDs, prequel and side stories ////

– The Shosetsu June story was adapted into a drama cassette and a drama CD (Dark Erogenous).
– The expanded story was adapted into three drama CDs (Destiny, Nightmare, Resonance)
– A prequel called Midnight Illusion was serialized in Shosetsu June between December 1992 and April 1993, and released as a hardcover in 1996. 3/6 chapters have been fan-translated into English.
– The 5 side stories have all been fan-translated into English (Kizu/Wound, File-0, Cal’s Sighs, Musk, Illusion Night) and are based on the expanded version of the novel.
