The outbreak plunged the world into chaos, forcing people to seek refuge in bunkers.

For Tae Yujun, however, the greater concern was the disappearance of Dr. Jang, a man he regarded as a father figure.

Determined to find him, Tae Yujun sets out on a dangerous journey, only to cross paths with a strange man, Won Hyuk, the head of a pharmaceutical company. Won Hyuk reveals that Dr. Jang had sent him a mysterious blueprint for a new drug and proposes that they join forces to locate him, venturing through streets teeming with zombies.

“If you team up with me, you’ll get my driving skills—former F1 racer, by the way—and a handgun. Oh, and one more thing—I’ll pamper you as much as you want, father.”

“The first two sound fine, but lose the last part.”

Tae Yujun can’t hide his distaste for Won Hyuk’s sly and cheeky remarks, yet the zombie-infested streets of Seoul leave him with little choice but to accept the offer.

“What do I need to give you in return for teaming up?”

“Whenever I get a headache, just stroke my head. Fair deal, right? What do you think?”

An unlikely partnership with a peculiar man who appeared out of nowhere.

What kind of trouble awaits Tae Yujun as he navigates a world in ruins alongside this suspicious companion? <<less

Song Fei’s university life was nothing special. He took his compulsory courses, skipped his elective courses, and took the CET-4 and CET-6. ... more>>

If he had to point out one thing that was bothering him, it’d be his “bad penny”, academic tyrant ex-boyfriend— Qi Yan. As the saying goes, exes, like villains, are hard to raise: too close and they’re impertinent; too far, then there’s resentment.

He thought his university life would pass by uneventfully just like this, until that day, when an infected classmate rushed into the examination hall…

The zombie virus spread like wildfire. All communication was cut. Campus turned into hell.

No one knew what the outside world was like. And no one knew if they should “persevere and wait for rescue” or “break through the heavy encirclement”.

Song Fei chose the latter. Qi Yan actually became a comrade-in-arms.

Without the power to exterminate everything in sight, without a martial arts expert’s physique, on this once familiar campus, they can only rely on their own knowledge and tenacity to fight for survival! <<less

“I know he is hypocritical and cunning, inconsistent inside and out, ruthless, selfish and willful, and possessive, but that doesn’t stop me from liking him.” — Lin Fei... more>>

*

As the most popular romance novel of the year, “Under the Rose” features its most intense rivalry not between the female lead and the supporting female character, but between two male supporting characters.

The “White Moonlight” Lin Fei is the male god of the campus, whom the female lead has had a secret crush on for years. He is aloof, indifferent, handsome, and noble, looking down on everyone else, and excels academically, consistently holding the top position in his grade. He later becomes a successful entrepreneur and a regular on the Forbes list, representing the eternal moon in the female lead’s heart.

The “Cinnabar Mole” Ji Leyu is the dark antagonist who pursues the female lead but never wins her over. He is ruthless, two-faced, and hides malice behind his smile. When he goes crazy, no one can stop him, especially with the powerful Ji Group backing him, making him even more arrogant and domineering. Ultimately, he becomes the mosquito blood in the female lead’s heart.

After being reborn back to her high school days, Song Qiang decides that this time, the moment she sees Ji Leyu, she will run away and never give him any chance to get close to her again.

However, before she has the chance to run, she sees Lin Fei standing beside Ji Leyu.

They go to school together, eat together, go home together, and participate in extracurricular activities together.

Song Qiang even sees Ji Leyu pulling Lin Fei by the collar to kiss him.

Song Qiang: !!! Let go of her male god!!

Just as she is about to rush over, she is shocked to see her male god lower his head and kiss Ji Leyu on the lips.

Song Qiang: ????

What happened to being aloof and heartless?!

Male god, what is going on?!

Song Qiang cautiously observes in secret and is horrified to discover that her former pursuer and the one she used to pursue are now together!

Her “White Moonlight” and her “Mosquito Blood” are together!

Song Qiang: …This world seems a bit off.

***

Song Qiang confirmed that Lin Fei and Ji Leyu were together. She didn’t want her male god to get hurt, so she quietly reminded Lin Fei, “Do you know that he’s not as well-behaved and cute as you think? He’s much more complicated than you imagine!”

Lin Fei’s tone remained as calm as ever, “I know.”

“I know he’s hypocritical and cunning, inconsistent inside and out, ruthless, selfish and willful, and possessive, but that doesn’t stop me from liking him.”

“To me, he is the most well-behaved and adorable.”

How could he not know?

Since the age of six, Lin Fei had known what kind of person Ji Leyu was.

But he loved this imperfect yet irreplaceable Ji Leyu in his heart.

***

Ji Leyu leaned against Lin Fei, rubbing his head against Lin Fei’s shoulder and whimpering, “Come on, comfort me.”

Lin Fei put down his book, turned, and kissed him on the lips, then patted his hair. “Good boy.”

Ji Leyu hugged him tightly, like a rose with its thorns retracted.

— Dazzlingly brilliant, yet blooming for only one person.

He was his bottom line, he was his devotion.

—

Lin Fei is the top, Ji Leyu is the bottom.

The structure of the first sentence of the synopsis is inspired by “The Painted Veil.”

—-

《面纱》 (The Painted Veil) is a novel by W. Somerset Maugham, published in 1925. The story is set in the 1920s and revolves around the tumultuous marriage of Kitty Garstin and her husband, Walter Fane, a bacteriologist. The plot thickens when Walter discovers Kitty’s infidelity and takes her to a cholera-infected region in China, where he works. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships.

The title “The Painted Veil” refers to a line from Percy Bysshe Shelley’s sonnet “Lift Not the Painted Veil,” which suggests the idea of not looking too closely at life’s illusions or the facade people present to the world.

The phrase “子非鱼” (zǐ fēi yú) originates from the classical Chinese text “Zhuangzi” (also known as “Chuang Tzu”), which is a foundational work of Daoist philosophy. This phrase is part of a longer passage that involves a dialogue between Zhuangzi (also known as Zhuang Zhou) and his friend Huizi (also known as Hui Shi). The dialogue goes as follows:

Zhuangzi and Huizi were strolling along the Hao River when Zhuangzi said:

“The fish are swimming so freely, this is the happiness of fish.”

Huizi replied:

“You are not a fish, how do you know the happiness of fish?”

Zhuangzi responded:

“You are not me, how do you know that I do not know the happiness of fish?”

The phrase “子非鱼” directly translates to “You are not a fish.” It is Huizi’s argument challenging Zhuangzi’s assertion about knowing the happiness of fish. The broader philosophical implications of this dialogue revolve around the nature of knowledge and understanding, especially concerning different perspectives and subjective experiences. <<less

The Film Emperor transmigrated into a prince.... more>>

Facing the ruthless power struggles of an ancient imperial court, the Film Emperor remained unfazed: “I’ll survive on my acting skills alone!”

Emperor (gong) x Powerful Minister (shou)

The protagonist has a golden halo and a golden finger (but the golden finger is not too thick…)

************************

A shared universe to 《Our Male God Has Collapsed》, where the Prince of Ruyang transmigrates into a Film Emperor. (《Our Male God Has Collapsed》 is already completed.)

Content tags: Imperial Court, Aristocracy, Transmigration, Lighthearted

Others: Transmigration, Palace Drama, Slice of Life

One-sentence introduction: “I’ve decided—I’ll rely on my acting skills to survive!”

Purpose: Transmigration is tough, and romance is even tougher.

Work Summary:

Film Emperor Li Yu transmigrated into a young prince who had just courted death. Stranded in an unfamiliar world, the Film Emperor felt immense pressure and faced great challenges. He fell in love at first sight with the world’s coldest and most beautiful man and immediately launched his pursuit! (Okay, that part is nonsense.) The Film Emperor found himself in the brutal power struggles of an ancient imperial court. With no other skills besides acting, he calmly declared: “I’ll survive on my acting skills alone!” He loves life, loves acting, loves the throne—even more so, he loves beauty. The Film Emperor used his acting skills to navigate court intrigue, highlighting the importance of mastering a skill. The emperor (Film Emperor) might seem naturally carefree, but his mental drama runs wild. The prime minister, a high-ranking, aloof power figure, remained as unmoved as the mountains no matter how hard the emperor tried to charm him. The plot will unfold at a steady pace to ensure its smooth development. The Film Emperor effortlessly shifted between his real self and his new royal identity—but can he win over the unshakable minister’s heart? In short, this is a story of “If there’s work, the prime minister does it. If there’s no work… the prime minister still does it.” Really.

KEIGHTY: Notes on the title:

The term “Zhen” – In Chinese, “zhen” (朕) refers to the first-person singular pronoun used exclusively by the Emperor, essentially meaning “I” or “we” when used by the ruler, signifying their supreme power and status as the “Son of Heaven” in traditional Chinese political theory. Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China, is credited with appropriating this term for his own use.

The term “Real Actor” – I actually translated this in the same way a variety show 《演技派》was translated in English as “Real Actor.” You can search for this on the internet. Basically, “Real Actor” is a noun for actors who rely on their acting skills (rather than good looks, etc.). They’re actors with excellent acting abilities (as opposed to just good looks)—actors of real skill. <<less

Lee Eunseok became an orphan after losing his family to the ‘Gate’ incident that occurred 20 years ago. Though he dreamed of awakening as an Esper to take revenge on the monsters, he reached adulthood without awakening. Among the limited choices given to orphans, he chose to join the military.

After working diligently in the field, he was considered a promising candidate for the next team leader position in the Intelligence Command. However, during a mandatory health examination, he is identified as an S-class Guide.

“Mr. Lee Eunseok, as you have awakened as a Guide during your health examination, you will be reassigned to the Bureau of Ability Management.”

“Who decided this?”

“We are not here to ask for permission, but to inform you.”

Moreover, under the Guide Protection Act, Guides are not allowed to enter Gates. While Eunseok, who had been a field special agent, contemplates his desire to enter Gates, Choi Hanseo, an S-class Esper and guild master of White Tiger, approaches him.

“Do you have the courage to enter Gates with me?”

Eunseok begins his life as a Guide after contracting with Choi Hanseo on the condition of participating in Gate raids. However, he finds himself increasingly bothered by S-class Hunter Choi Hanseo’s subtle yet obvious advances…

In the end... more>>

Xiao Rong traveled back in time and became the advisor to a warlord during an era of contending heroes.

This warlord was stubborn, refused advice, was overly sensitive and suspicious, prioritized military affairs over civil ones, and most importantly, was brutal and bloodthirsty. Xiao Rong had to assist him because his life was bound to the warlord's by a system that detected their matching energy fields. Xiao Rong's well-being depended on the warlord's fortune—when the warlord's luck declined, Xiao Rong would cough up blood and need medication.

Thus, the palace became a scene of vivid spectacles:

When the warlord wanted to execute a righteous minister, Xiao Rong clutched his chest to stop him: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

When the warlord wanted to release a pleading enemy, Xiao Rong, pale-faced, intervened: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

When the warlord wanted to massacre surrendered captives and innocent families, Xiao Rong, spitting blood, grabbed his sleeve: "Your Majesty, you must not!"

Eventually, the warlord became psychologically scarred by Xiao Rong’s blood-spitting episodes and started listening to him in everything, fearing that any displeasure would cause Xiao Rong to die.

The obedient warlord turned into a wise ruler, and the empire was within reach. Xiao Rong stood satisfied on the city tower, overlooking the vast lands.

At that moment, a hand reached for his waist.

Xiao Rong: "Your Majesty, you must not!!!"

Look at how many exclamation marks I used, you idiot!

However, the warlord examined his face and concluded: "No blood, so it’s okay."

Xiao Rong: "..." <<less

A certain old bandit snatched the potted plant, holding the beloved orchid with delight, and turned around while the standing Pan Xiangdong pretended to be serious, saying, “Please.”
