It wasn’t the first time she had met him.... more>>

However, at the time, in the corridor of the KTV, he smiled with charm as he hugged the girl in his arms.

It had left such a deep impression within her.

What happened later on?

Later–

Her boyfriend, Lu Sibei, luxuriously invited his group of friends. He came late.

Someone yelled, “You have to drink for being late.”

“Why didn’t you bring your girlfriend along?”

That person only smiled lightly, “We broke up.”

“Oh, how many months was it this time?”

That person lifted his eyes, his voice flat, “That’s enough.”

In the private booth, the lights were dimly lit. Meng Shengnan drank her cola with her head down, but the drink in her tongue tasted both cold and bitter.

At the time she hadn’t realised yet that later on, she really couldn’t have anyone else but him.

_

During her youth, Meng Shengnan had fallen for someone. Yet, she knew that she would never be the type he liked, so she buried her unrequited love deep within her heart.

Many years later, she met him again in her hometown.

He was no longer the unruly and carefree youth she remembered, instead, he would often pass through the old streets of Jiangcheng in a pair of flip-flops. The first time they met again, he stared at her, unshaven, his eyes full of untold stories.

Her heart raced and he chased after her relentlessly. For her, he got his act together, started all from nothing, and wiped away his past humiliations. It was as if he had responded to the words she had written many years ago in the book she had gifted him: “In the days where the flower of youth blooms, I want to help him find his way after losing his path.” <<less

In the devastating novel where the family of the female protagonists eats up the family of the male protagonist, she was reincarnated as the younger sister of the male protagonist who died while being tortured.... more>>

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

As a recognized beauty in the Mathematics Department of Tsinghua University, Gu Jiqing’s pure and lustful appearance captivated all the girls in the school. However, on the first day of school, he admitted that he was a Gay and reportedly even twisted several straight men.... more>>

Zhou Cibai, as a recognized member of the Architecture Department of Tsinghua University with a height of 1.9 meters and bursting with a hormonal aura, is praised by all the girls as a big walking general attacker. However, he was clearly a homophobe from the first day of school.

On the first day they were assigned to the same dormitory, Zhou Cibai said with a stern expression, “Sorry, I’m not interested in men.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jiqing thought to himself: Fortunately, anyway, he doesn’t like large dogs either.

The two hit it off and thought they could get along well.

However, when Gu Jiqing took a shower and forgot to blow his hair, Zhou Cibai would blush and slam the door. When he woke up and forgot to wear pants, Zhou Cibai would blush and slam the door. When he was sick and rubbed his palms unconsciously, Zhou Cibai would still blush and slam the door.

Gu Jiqing thought to himself that Zhou Cibai must be homophobic to the extreme.

Until one day, he was drugged at a bar. In front of Zhou Cibai, he was about to find a young, handsome, clean, and lively fellow to help him. Zhou Cibai, however, pressed down on his waist and said through clenched teeth, “Gu Jiqing, do you think I’m not handsome enough or do you think I’m not clean enough?”

Gu Jiqing blinked in confusion and said, “Ah? Isn’t it because you can’t?”

.

When Zhou Cibai was in junior high school, he had a goddess whom he fell in love with at first sight. However, because of a gay stalker, causing him to lose face in front of his goddess, and from then on, he kept a respectful distance from gay.

As a result, Gu Jiqing took a bath and wanted to seduce him with wet hair. He exposed his thighs when he got out of bed to seduce him, and when he’s sick, he even softly acted spoiled to seduce him. And even the red mole on the corner of his eye was the same as his goddess.

Zhou Cibai finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said with a cold face, “Gu Jiqing, can you restrain yourself a bit? Don’t try to bend me all day long.”

Then that night, he put Gu Jiqing to sleep.

Zhou Cibai, who grew up believing that holding hands meant falling in love, looked at the rubber cond*ms on the ground and felt that although he has h*mophobia, he still had to take responsibility for Gu Jiqing.

So he decided to destroy the goddess’s photo, bid farewell to the past, and establish a formal romantic relationship with Gu Jiqing.

However, Gu Jiqing, who had been pestering him all night, just laid in bed, lazily hooking at a photo of the goddess, and asked in a muffled voice, “How come you have a photo of me from middle school?”

Then he raised the corner of his eyes and lightly wrote, “Oh, by the way, ten thousand yuan has been transferred to you, just think of it as your hard work charge last night. You’re welcome.”

Zhou Cibai, who has h*mophobia, with a fortune worth only 10,000 yuan a night. “???” <<less

In order to prevent the fall of the empire, I died protecting my childhood friend, the third prince.... more>>

But when I woke up, I found myself occupying the body of a frail noble lady, and to make matters worse, the imperial palace’s edict to welcome her as the crown princess came down.

The Crown Prince was the third prince, and my friend ‘Signus’, whom I sacrificed my life for.

When I met Signus again, he was no different than a crazy tyrant.

At this rate, the empire was likely to be destroyed soon.

Yu Xinqiao lived a smooth-sailing life until the age of 24 when he encountered a car accident. After waking up from a coma, he found himself back to his 18-year-old self. He learned that he had become a famous musician, skipping six years of practicing the piano. But what surprised him even more was that he had married the person he had been yearning for since his youth. Xu Yanhuan, who had been as cold as an iceberg towards him before, now became his husband.... more>>

Yu Xinqiao was puzzled. He had chased after Xu Yanhuan relentlessly in his youth, even giving him a Blue Moonstone he had personally polished, only to be coldly rejected. He tried to regain his memory and asked Xu Yanhuan, “Where did we meet again?”

Xu Yanhuan replied, “At the law firm.”

Yu Xinqiao asked, “Is it possible that I came to trouble you?”

Yu Xinqiao asked, “Then, how did we get married?”

Xu Yanhuan said, “You proposed to me.”

Yu Xinqiao wondered, “You agreed to marry me just like that? Did I force you or use some kind of trick?”

Xu Yanhuan didn’t say anything. He didn’t know that Yu Xinqiao, who had lived a wild and carefree life, only had two things he was persistent about – playing the piano and Xu Yanhuan.

Yu Xinqiao also didn’t know that when he left Xu Yanhuan years ago, Xu Yanhuan had come back five minutes later, picked up the Blue Moonstone that had fallen into the mud, brushed off the dirt, and put it in his pocket.

Yu Xinqiao asked another question, “Have we ever…kissed after getting married?”

Xu Yanhuan replied, “En.”

Yu Xinqiao asked, “Occasionally?”

Xu Yanhuan answered, “No, every day.” <<less

Notes:
1. ….是爱你的形状 (… is in the shape of loving you) is a meme. It’s basically Yan Liang confessing his love for Shi An
2. This is a word play on his name. Yan Liang’s Yan consists of 日 on top of 安, and Shi An’s An is also (安). Basically, Shi An adds 日 on his 安 so he feels very hot because the sun is on top of him, so that’s why he says he’s afraid of the sun. <<less
