One day, she finally mustered up her courage and whispered, “I…I want to be good friends with you.”

An arrogant personality with no brains whatsoever, she was the typical spoilt, rich child. He was the only one who could handle being her bodyguard. But how did this man manage her ? Did he use extreme and effective tyranny to counter her temper tantrums? He was so cold that even a polar bear would tremble. She didn’t have the courage to go against him.

"Reunion of Broken Mirror | Reunion at the Beginning... more>>

On a stormy summer night, at a street-side convenience store.

Gu Jiahe never expected to meet Li Zhao again.

They were deeply in love during their youth but suddenly broke up near graduation. After six years of complete disconnection, they unexpectedly reunite in the seventh year.

Li Zhao, braving the heavy rain, chased him all the way to his rental house.

Gu Jiahe tugged at Li Zhao's shirt collar and joked, 'are you feeling lonely, so you've come to relive old memories with me?'

Li Zhao's face darkened upon hearing this. 'Yes. It's been too long since I touched you, and it's burning inside.'

Gu Jiahe, feeling frustrated, decided that after this last night, he would move out immediately.

He would pretend that nothing had happened, and he would never see Li Zhao again.

However, two days later, Gu Jiahe, as usual, got up early and went to work at the company.

Turning around, he noticed an unfamiliar laptop on the desk next to his.

The next moment, someone opened the door.

Li Zhao stood at the doorway and waved, 'Manager Gu, I am the resident lawyer from the law firm collaborating with your company.'

Gu Jiahe's brain instantly froze: This is bad.

In the summer of 1992, Shan Ming was injured during a mission and got separated from his teammates. He was lost in the vast and horrifying primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border.... more>>

Relying on his rich experience in wildlife survival, he still holds absolute confidence in his ability to escape from difficulties.

However, it took him double the time expected to escape from this devil’s land.

The reason was that he accidentally picked up a creature that should’ve never appeared in this place – a child – a little Chinese boy.

On a whim, Shan Ming picked up the child from the gates of death. As a result, he changed the fate of two people, or perhaps even more.

The untraceable plane crash, the numerous crises faced by the mercenary group, the suspicions and sacrifices among the members of the group, and the ice-thin relationship with the government organization.

The fear-stricken “National Weapon” project, the legendary and tragic fate of the “Dragon Blood Kins”.

Huge conspiracies were hidden behind the seemingly ordinary missions and everything seemed to be connected with the child’s mysterious identity.

His appearance dragged Shan Ming and his mercenary group step by step into irreparable doom…

Ahem, the text above is sort of tricky. Let’s try a more relaxed version:

Due to a plane crash, a five-year-old (human?) shota got lost in the primitive forest on the China-Myanmar border. He was forcibly raised by a Chinese member of an international mercenary group.

Since falling into the hands of this inhuman mercenary, the shota has completely bid farewell to his delicate childhood and begun his painful ripening.

When other five-year-old shotas were acting mushy gushy in their mothers’ arms, he had been forced to learn how to shoot a headshot.

When other seven-year-olds were held in the palm of their parents’ hands, he had to solo the pe*verted killer who lusted after him.

When other ten-year-olds were still innocently crushing on their female deskmate, he had already followed his foster father, who had no lower limit to his morality, into and out of the colorful brothels in Las Vegas.

After being under the influence of his foster father for a long time, the naive little shota finally became abnormal…

So this is the story of a delicate young master who has been bullied and cruelly trained since childhood.

One who eventually grew up to be a black-bellied cold-blooded mercenary and successfully overpowered his despicable foster father that always treated him like reserve food and ordered him around like a dog. <<less

I suspect that I’m crazy.... more>>

Crazy. Insane. Mad. However you want to put it. And I mean the type where there’s really something wrong with me, something uncontrollable and life-ruining and in my brain, in my blood, and not just that I’m a little weird or have an overdramatic, rash personality. I suspect I have schizophrenia, OCD, depression and other mental illnesses.

But there's a gangster stutterbug that won’t even take mercy on a crazy person, oh my god. Where are his morals?

And while the Emperor did want Amelia to be the Empress…

…It seemed like he already knew her.

A strange, le*d sound echoed through the room. He said looking closely at her face,

“And I advise you, don’t do anything useless.”

As she gave him a puzzled look, he grinned and pointed down with his eyes. She saw his manhood poking her thigh.

“It’s up again.”

Contrary to his languid expression, his manhood stood ramrod straight again, as if he wanted to take her at that very moment. <<less

Qi Han: “If you win, what reward do you want?”

Fu Ge: “I want a temporary mark, the kind with the pheromones injected.”

Qi Han: “What if you lose?”

Fu Ge: “If I lose, I’ll use these twenty prayer flags to pray for you, and Ah Han will always be safe.”

That night the Alpha marked him eagerly and fiercely all over the back of his glandless neck, and Fu Ge took it for granted that his lover loved him too.

He never expected that eight months later, Qi Han would put the chains on him with his own hands, sneering, “You didn’t really think I liked you, did you? You and your love are worth nothing to me.”

Blinded by years of hatred, Qi Han thought that Fu Ge was using him from beginning to end, until the moment the truth came out and he was so sorry that his heart broke.

Five years later, they met again after a long time. Faced with Fu Ge’s drastic change in character, Qi Han—

“Wife, the pheromones are ready, do you want to use them now?”

“Wife, do you want to unplug my oxygen tube? Be careful not to leave fingerprints.”

“Wife, see this little box? Till death do us part, let’s sleep in this big bed together, okay?”

Fu Ge: “Go die, you.”

Facing such a scene, Jian Xiuyun calmly cut the rope on Kan Wenxiao’s body with the dagger, then stretched out his hand at him and said, “Be good, come here, Shizun will hug you.”

Kan Wenxiao had always known that Jian Xiuyun didn’t like him because he had an ugly face.

Although later he didn’t know why Jian Xiuyun suddenly changed his attitude, he could still feel his pretense and reluctance.

Kan Wenxiao felt that there was an unspeakable anger burning in his heart, but there was something else under this anger.

He didn’t know what it was until he held Jian Xiuyun in his arms and sprayed uncontrolled words in his master’s ears.

“Shizun, can I exchange my sincerity for your sincerity?”

When Yu Nian ran away from home at the age of eighteen, he was briefly taken care of by a handsome guy.... more>>

The handsome guy was named Qi Wang, only a year older than him, aloof and taciturn, mature and stable, the only flaw being a bit easy to deceive.

Yu Nian said his parents had died early, his family had fallen on hard times, and his siblings were harsh, and Qi Wang believed it all.

At first, he was impatient with Yu Nian, but later, he would spend hours waiting in line with him on winter nights to buy candied chestnuts and accompany him to set off fireworks by the sea in the late night.

Yu Nian unilaterally declared that he had found true love, and when his siblings came to take him home, he stubbornly refused to break up.

“I’ll elope with him tomorrow! Beating me won’t work!”

Yu Nian declared firmly.

But as expected, the unreliable Qi Wang disappeared, leaving Yu Nian determined but alone.

Actions speak louder than words about who is easy to deceive.

In the midnight reverie, Yu Nian often thought of this person with hatred, wishing for nothing but misfortune and poverty to befall him.

But eight years later, this person not only did not fall into ruin, but also became a rising star in the art world, appearing once again before him.

They met at a charity gala.

They politely and distantly extended their hands, as if meeting for the first time, exchanging casual pleasantries.

But the hands held together were burning hot, and their hearts beat restlessly.
