In the mansion of the Duke of Tang in Jinyang, a pair of twin brothers resided. The elder brother, Li Shimin, was physically robust and excelled in martial arts, while the younger, Li Xuanba, had been consuming medicines from the time he was born. It was often said that twins shared a mysterious telepathic link. Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke, confirmed these rumors to be true.... more>>

After several moments of shock caused by the astonishing words originating from Li Xuanba's mind, Li Shimin decided to confront his twin. "Xuan, do you know that each time you focus your mind, I can hear your thoughts? Can you possibly stop doing so? I prefer not to listen." Li Xuanba, known far and wide as the fragile son who was always under the weather retorted, "No. If you're dissatisfied, you can talk as well." Li Shimin, though physically healthy but mentally not as robust as Li Xuanba, tried with all his might to conjure a mental expression, only managing to squeeze out a single character after turning a shade of purple. "Ah!!!!!!!" This left Li Xuanba almost laughing himself into convulsions.

In his previous life, Li Xuanba worked as an editor for a historical marketing account. He had specialized in trolling Li Shimin to gain traffic. However, after overworking himself to death one night, he was reborn as the fragile twin brother of Li Shimin, a character from a historical fiction novel famous for a bravery akin to that of Xiang Yu, but in reality died of illness at the age of sixteen. Li Xuanba thought, "Oh ho, this is retribution." Regardless, he decided to go with the flow, even telling his brother, "Hey, if you want any spoilers, I'll tell you!" Li Shimin, exasperated, retorted, "I don't want to hear anything!!"

Years later, Li Shimin was adorned in dragon robes, his hands stained with fresh blood. Li Xuanba, frail as ever, was still alive. One day, after Li Xuanba fell onto the ground pretending to faint after an argument with Wei Zheng, Li Shimin hoisted his brother onto his back and set off running, just like when they were children. "Hahaha, brother, you should have seen how twisted old Wei's face was!" Li Xuanba laughed. "Shut up!" replied Li Shimin. "Congratulations, brother. You can finally say two words, hehe." Once again, Li Shimin displayed a grimace of annoyance, carrying his bothersome brother forward with each step.

Footnote:
This is a story that the author enjoys writing, filled with palace intrigue, sibling rivalry, and acts of patricide. It's an alternative history, filled with many unfounded rumors and private settings. The dialogs and appellations are more modernized instead of being authentic to the Tang Dynasty. The main characters are far from perfect: Li Shimin has his flaws as a feudal emperor; Li Xuanba is even less of a good person, his main priority being his own well-being. Updates are daily. If any changes, an announcement will be made.

Next up is the lengthy novel "Ren Xiaojun Liu Ying Ye of the Great Han Dynasty". Please add it to your favorites! In this story, Liu Ying awakens his memories from a past modern life at the age of five. He knows his "history". He remembers his father, Liu Bang, tried to depose him, and his mother, Lü Zhi, attempted to scare him to death. All these memories ignited his anger towards his cruel parents.

Adelaide had risked her life in exchange for playing the role of the Duchess, but she never had any intention of loving Klaus.

He was a Northern noble with an elegant facade, yet lacking in any true nobility. Dealing with such a Duke was always a source of embarrassment for Adelaide, who had lived her whole life as a noble lady.

They were merely using each other. So there was no way that this could be love, just something as insignificant as that.

“You mean something to me.”

The more she fell for him, the deeper she fell, everything became a mess. Like an uncontrollable fire.

“Do you have any value other than yourself?”

Klaus sharply rebuked her with his lips against her throat.

“I want everything from you, even your very breath. How is this not love?”

“You’re completely insane…”

In the worst possible way, you made me realize. The fact that all we have left between us is nothing but hatred. <<less

Ten years later, the entire Di family was annihilated, with only a lone girl being banished to Mount Tai, and the century-old foundation of the Di’s family was destroyed.

If Di Shengtian had known that one day her own disciples would exterminate the entire Di family, would she still have shared half of her kingdom to secure a lasting legacy for the future?

Regardless of how the world marvels at the era of Di Shengtian, as time passes, when Ren Anle, bored and idle, reads this history of the wilds while curled up in her bandit’s den, she can only laugh and say… winners become kings and losers are defeated, this is how the world works.

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

The man she believed to be only a pretty boy told her to “fight” and a moment later he was wearing armor with a spear in hand. One person can become an army and single-handedly win over troops.

After he transmigrated, Ye Shuo became the Ninth Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.... more>>

His mother was the most favoured Imperial Concubine, and his grandfather was the Duke Zhen who had massive troops under him; his birth immediately made him one of the three most popular candidates in fighting for the throne, even overshadowing the Crown Prince.
The most important thing was, even his mother shared the same desires in competing for the throne.

A favoured concubine + Military power + an Emperor in the prime of his life; at first glance, this kind of arrangement already meant its upcoming doom was near. Not only that, he still had eight more elder brothers above him filled with ambitions.
Eight older brothers, and each one of them outstanding on their own.

Ye Shuo thought about it for a while, then closed his eyes and kicked his feet; whoever wanted to ascend this throne should just do it.

So what if they became the Emperor? There wasn't any Internet, not even electricity, as well as any games; even if he became the Emperor, the toilets still couldn't flush on its own.
As he had no desires to fight for it, just like that, the royal Ninth Prince who was treasured like gold and jade grew up to be an infamous dandy.

They had to go to the study room before dawn? So that's why the probability of children dying young was high; he definitely won't go.
Being a subject first then only a person? Even if he is the Emperor, wasn't he still his father？

At first, the Crown Prince and everyone else thought that this brother of theirs was just keeping a low profile while biding his time, only till that time when he was eight years old and still continued being carried on his father's back to class did they finally realized, that child was done for.

In the past, the current Emperor was always threading over thin ice, carefully maintaining his position as a son for thirty years before he finally ascended the throne. After taking the throne, his sons now were just like the previous him during those years before; until the birth of the Ninth Prince, that was the first time the Emperor met a child like him.

But for some reason that even he didn't know of, the Emperor was instead very invested in his young son; even if there were more children born after, he was still less attentive towards them than him.

More than ten years went by, conflicts started to arouse in court, feuds amongst brothers appeared, times were changing; and yet only Ye Shuo continued to remain the same.

Nobody could expect that, the new Emperor would pass away three years after he took the throne, only leaving behind his one and only child as heir. With painstaking efforts and great difficulty, Ye Shuo finally supported his brother's only child to the throne; however, he only took away his attention for a moment and just like that, the child was gone.

The imperial clan didn't have anyone left; and could only let this Imperial Uncle of him to inherit the throne.
During his time as the Emperor's uncle, he was only twenty six years old.

Ye Shuo: "..."

The day of his enthronement, when they thought back of how the previous Ninth Prince and the current Ninth Imperial Uncle hadn't even graduated from primary school; the ministers couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with grief, and almost made the Hall of Supreme Harmony overflown with tears.

Their Great Zhou Dynasty, was going to end.

Seeing how the Ninth Prince after becoming the Emperor continued with his out of sorts behaviour, everyone including the Imperial Tutor had already made preparations to be annexed by the two countries around them.

What they didn't expect was after a year, the country was still stable.

Three years went by, the common people no longer suffered from any hunger.

After five years, natural disasters started to appear, Ye Shuo took the oppurtunity to send out troops, and then annihilated the two countries.

Looking at this unified territory before them, the courtiers couldn't believe their eyes.

Who would've thought that in Ye Shuo's previous life, he was actually a genius. <<less

Su Su was a young shark who had just reached adulthood and often didn't have enough to eat because of his large food intake and poor hunting skills. Hearing that mermaids could be raised by humans, Su Su found the mermaid tribe in the sea and sought a way to become a mermaid.... more>>

The most beautiful little mermaid in the mermaid tribe escaped marriage and was originally promised to the imperial admiral, but he fell in love with a killer whale in the sea.

"No, I won't raise it, send it away immediately."

Qi Hanyi angrily hung up the phone and rushed back home: "Where is the mermaid?"

In the empty dark blue huge fish pond, a two-meter-long shark swung its tail and emerged from the surface of the pool.

He opened his mouth toward Qi Hanyi, showing a row of neatly pointed teeth, waving his fins to greet him cheerfully, and pointed to his mouth.

Then Qi Hanyi heard the shark in front of him stuttering to him in a not-so-skilled human language: "Honey, hungry, hungry, food." <<less
