Everyone knew that Master Qiao Si stood for the word “ruthless” in City S.... more>>

No one dared to call him by name,

Even Master Qiao Si himself seemed to have forgotten his actual name.

At this point of life, Master Qiao Si thought he was capable of seeing through anything in the world,

Except for his half brother –

He’s willing to exchange anything he could afford for a look from Qiao Che.

Duan Heng, who came to serve him ten years ago,

A future star under his patronage and one of his pets,

Was also one of the “tributes” to Qiao Che.

However, this young man was like a loyal and handsome large puppy for him.

His bold love was almost addictive.

Momentary happiness, though it might be illusory, was nonetheless happiness.

Those feelings that should have been long forgotten started to come back…… <<less

To pass as an imperial concubine, one must be professional.... more>>

As he had been repeatedly kidnapped, Fang Yun’an, the second young master of the Fang family of Watercloud Planet, changed his name to Lu Yunchu and grew up in a civilian family to hide his identity.... more>>

Fortunately, he fell in love with Qin Rui, the young master of the Qin family from Central Planet when he was in college. Unfortunately, Qin Rui thought Lu Yunchu’s family was mediocre and could not match with him, so he abandoned Lu Yunchu without mercy.

When the two met again, Lu Yunchu was already living in a luxurious villa and driving an expensive star shuttle. Qin Rui couldn’t help but sigh, “Where did you get so much money?”

“My sugar daddy is rich and willing to spend money for me.” Lu Yunchu showed Qin Rui the black-diamond gold card in his hand.

“You are so shameless, being kept as mistress by another man!” Qin Rui angrily rebuked.

“So what? Do you remember everyone around you thought I was so shameless to be kept as mistress by you in college? So why should I keep my face? You are really lifting me up.” Lu Yunchu shook the Château Lafite in his wine glass and said contemptuously. <<less

Yang Feng somehow transmigrated into a different world and received a legacy of an ‘ancient high tech’ family, which does not directly raise his power, but gives him the technology to build things which are way more advanced than the seemingly medieval world.... more>>

But to build something you need resources and energy. To receive resources you need strength. To gain strength you need knowledge. To gain knowledge you… need strength? or a background? Or maybe a fully armed army of high tech robots who aren’t afraid of death?

But is this legacy really for him to keep? <<less

Major General Moore Houston was successfully matched in marriage by the main system. The entire planet was stunned.... more>>

Everyone knew what kind of prestigious existence he was: The Imperial Marshal’s son, the empire’s youngest Major General, the planet’s most handsome ger, the planet’s goddess in the eyes of the male population……

However, he unexpectedly got matched to an unknown nobody: A 30-year-old poor teacher with nothing.

Everyone was not calm anymore.

Regarding this, a certain Ji person’s slender brows twitched indistinctly. He had just transmigrated over and they already gave him a bride. This world was really way too good.

One cold, one indifferent, who exactly fell first. <<less

Sheng Xiyan was born again.... more>>

In the last life, she didn’t know until after her death, that she had been living in a novel.

The protagonist of the novel is her fiancé Yongning Hou Shizi and his true love and his white moonlight Zhao Yuanrou, who is her cousin. Zhao Yuanrou is a noble and talented transgressive female, whereas she is a cannon fodder who hinders their lifelong relationship.

In order to stay together for a lifetime, they met to jump into the lake and try dying in the name love.

They did not die, but moved the queen mother. The queen mother made the decision for them, to let his True Love be with him and so both of them married into the Yongning Hou Mansion on the same day, but she fell “seriously ill” before even seeing the husband’s face.

After a deep sadomasochistic relationship, the hero and heroine finally got together happily. In order to make way for them, Sheng Xiyan, who “dominated” the position of his wife, “died from illness” in the cold palace.

In this life, Sheng Xiyan was reborn on the day the hero and heroine eloped and died in love.

Faced with the fiance whose face was deeply protective of Zhao Yuanrou and the queen mother who was moved by true emotions, Sheng Xiyan chose to marry the eldest son of Zhenbei King Chu Yuanchen who had died on the battlefield.

Chu Yuanchen was a well-known and famous general in Dasheng, who had made great achievements in battle. In a battle with Beiyan, he defeated Beiyan and fled, but he himself was seriously injured and his whereabouts were unknown.

Sheng Xiyan became the eldest wife of the Zhenbei Palace instead of the Marquis Mansion.

I thought that this life could finally live comfortably, but I didn’t expect that the man who died early in the novel would actually come back to life!

Note: The heroine’s marriage in her previous life was ordered by her parents, in name only. <<less

I possessed of the Empress in the novel of Rofan.... more>>

Isn’t that good thing?

The problem is that the Empress is a supporting character who will be pushed off the throne by the cunning Emperor, then eventually dies of illness.

Like the original empress, I couldn’t die in the cold valley, waiting for my love to come.

But I couldn’t die. I’ve to be villain to get divorced.

"White evening primroses are in full bloom -!”

It was a strange succession ceremony in which the strongest member of the royal family succeeds the throne.

Seriously, was surviving by simply looking like the weakest not enough?

The crazy princess, with no power or backing, was about to die, but a suspicious wizard suddenly appeared before her.

“What should I do to get your kiss?”

“A deal. If you help me, I'll kiss you.”

“Good. I have no intention of letting you die in the hands of anyone besides me."

I feel like I entered the tiger's den while trying to escape the wolves…

Is it really okay if I make this deal?

Yamai Zenjirou is your everyday office worker in modern Japan. One morning, he suddenly finds himself summoned to a tropical world where dinosaurs roam the land. ... more>>

He is told that this is the kingdom of Capua and the person who summoned him - its monarch, Queen Aura - wants him to marry her and leave his old life behind for a life of carefree extravagance as her prince consort.

The reasons for her offer are many and varied, but she needs an heir, and she wants him to be the one to provide it! If he accepts, he’ll never have to work again, lazing around in luxury with no worries other than securing the kingdom its next monarch.

Certainly, sleeping with the buxom beauty is far from a hardship, but is everything really as it seems? He’ll also need to give up everything he knows on Earth.

Is he ready to drop it all at a moment’s notice for her sake? And how well will he be able to navigate the politics, people and culture of this new world if he does? <<less

Still, inadvertently becoming an undercover professor for a mysterious secret society at the renowned Sören academy was never in my to-do list! <<less

Did heroes write history or did history create heroes?... more>>

Someone returned to the time of the Three Kingdoms Era, which was originally just history to him, and he became a hero.

After that, it became a dance between heroes and history.

Then again, whether it was changing the course of the long flowing river of history or thinking of the heroes under his command like clouds, what was most unlucky was that he transmigrated into a minor emperor nicknamed “The Broken Jar”. <<less

“Your mission is to gain Prince Rui’s trust.”... more>>

“How?”

“Prince Rui is gay, now you know what to do?”

“…I get it.”

He is the guard of Prince Qin who saved him and cultivated him from young to be his sharpest sword. He is first taught martial arts, then musical instruments, painting, chess, etc. to make him the best assassin.

However, after being assigned the mission to gain Prince Rui’s trust, he gradually falls for him, the one he is supposed to kill. Adding to that entanglement is the mystery about his own origin and the truth about the famine in his childhood. So now the one who he has cherished for all these years turns out to be the very person who caused the famine?

Life plays a joke on him.

However, whatever identity Su Jie holds, he will take to heart this only person who is willing to shield swords for him and forsakes his own identity just to be with him.

The country of Coffin, a grassland blanketed by grey clouds.... more>>

On a certain day, the kingdom that worshipped the dragon that danced in the sky was invaded by an army accompanied by a giant beast they called “God”.

The six prefectures of Zhongbo were offered to foreign enemies on a silver platter, and Shen Zechuan was taken into custody in the capital, reduced to a drowning dog* loathed and condemned by all. Xiao Chiye followed the scent of the furor and made his way over. But instead of setting others on him, he kicked Shen Zechuan with his very own leg, rendering the latter an invalid.

I’m an imperial uncle; his imperial majesty’s uncle.... more>>

Once, someone with nothing better to do took a comprehensive survey of the current dynasty, and summed up the imperial court’s three great cancers.

Wang Qin leads in corruption; the treasury is never full.

Yun Tang favours a few, forming cabals; leading to corruption in our politics.

Prince Huai plays with power, and serves as the head of a hundred poisons — thus causing instability to the throne.

When they talk about the most venomous of vipers, the wicked one who plays with power, the biggest cancer of them all, they’re talking about me: this insignificant prince, Prince Huai, Chengjun.

I can only say that I feel rather hapless in the face of these theories.

In truth, I have been ever dutiful, ever devoted, devoid of intention to monopolise power, and possess even less of a heart to covet the throne. In the entire imperial court, I dare say there is no loyal subject more loyal than I.

But, most tragically, in all the realm, the matter of me being a loyal subject is something that not many would believe. <<less

“Send a dowry escort.”

During the 19th year of the Yuanqing Era, Qi Yunruo boarded a carriage and entered through a corner door of the second prince’s estate. Then, across the watery corridor, he gazed at the prince from afar.

Notes:
In order for aristocratic women in imperial China to marry into a family part of the upper nobility, they must be of the legitimate line and must also have a dowry escort that married into that family. That escort would be a “ying” (媵) and could be considered a concubine. <<less

Resident no. 233, a frustrated novel villain of the City of Sin had a hard life due to his fondness in acting like a protagonist in each parallel world he enters. The measly sin points he earned wasn’t even enough to fill his belly.... more>>

Having enough of begging in the streets of the city where villains like him lived, he stood up with a determined face and promised to stick to his villainous roles to earn more sin points and live a decent life!

But just as he was rebuilding himself, he met Lily, a one-of-a kind heroine who seeks revenge for the death of a protagonist killed in cold blood by Wei Batian, another villain.

Lily mistakenly thought that 233 was also a righteous martial artist like her, so she came to him and offered a proposal.

“Please Mister! You have to help me! As righteous martial artists, we have to find and kill Wei Batian!”

This is f*cking embarrassing… <<less

If Wei Zifu loved you, then her story could only have ended the way mine did.

People often said that the limits of love lay in one’s ability to endure – to endure the fact that the man we loved would have three wives and four concubines.

Wei Zifu managed to tolerate. So, she accompanied you by your side for thirty-eight years.

She could accomplish this because she did not love you.

All along, what she wanted was never love.

If, from the beginning, all I wanted was only the precious throne belonging to an Empress, perhaps I would not have lost you as quickly as I had.
