"To live or to die, that is the question."

Su Guifei¹ was favored and envied by countless imperial consorts in the harem. Chen Wang² grew up with His Majesty showing favoritism to him. However, anyone, who was more or less educated, would sigh with regret and say that this pair of mother and son were sure to come to a bad end in the future.

Ming Jiuzhu, who was about to marry Chen Wang: Really? I don’t believe it.

Chen Wang in Jiuzhu’s eyes: a beautiful and kindhearted little fairy boy vs. Chen Wang in the eyes of others: His Majesty and his favored consort’s hedonistic son.

Jiuzhu often wondered why people always gazed at her and Chen Wang with a ‘you are doomed one way or another’ look. Could this be the ugly side of jealousy?

The first time the two officially met:

“The purpose of the prison is not to destroy people’s lives; it’s meant to replace the broken chains of law and morality, to bind the beast in their hearts again, until it is completely subdued,” said Leo.

“Everyone has beasts in their hearts, agent, and so do you.” Sha Qing extended an index finger and pointed at Leo’s heart.

“Yes, but unlike you, I will use those iron chains to lock it tightly in a cage.”

“It’s not as easy as you think, Leo. Things are always changing, and often beyond your control …”

With his blood-stained lips, he suddenly kissed the stunned FBI agent.

The salty bloody taste spread in their mouths and the fiery contact was enough to burn the tips of their tongues.

Leo’s eyes suddenly felt heavy, but his face did not show any irritation from being calculated upon.

“Have you foreseen this in your plans ?” He raised his wrist with effort, then slowly closed his eyes.

Sha Qing looked down and saw that a pair of steel handcuffs had fastened his left wrist with the other’s right arm.

He lowered his head and kissed the sleeping man’s wet, dusty hair, and said in a soft voice:

“Goodbye, brave young lion.”

He then dislocated his own hand to remove the shackles that bound them together.

Sha Qing stood up and walked away, until his figure disappeared into the darkness… <<less

Met by the disgusted gazes of everyone in the Eastern Palace, Tao Ti was a little flustered.

Just then, the crown prince who was rumoured to soon die from illness comforted her, “Don’t be scared, I’ll give you a letter of annulment before I die, and return you your freedom.”

Tao Ti was stunned, “A-alright.”

Inwardly, she thought, “A gentle and beautiful man; I’m fine with this!!!”

Later——

When the crown prince was ridiculed, Tao Ti rolled up her sleeves to defend him.

When the crown prince was sick with a high fever, Tao Ti boiled the medicine herself.

When the crown prince’s appetite was poor, Tao Ti cooked, fried, steamed, and baked.

Everyone in the Eastern Palace: Safeguard the best crown princess in the world!

~

The prince of the outlying tribe was muscular and bold; he planned to abduct Taoti to the grasslands once the crown prince died.

The crown prince broke the prince’s leg, then, in the middle of the night, blocked Tao Ti.

Tao Ti’s voice trembled, “Your… Your Highness?”

The crown prince’s eyes were dark, and his smile was warm. “If I had known that you liked wild ones, I would’ve stopped pretending.”

*T/N: Taotie are ancient Chinese mythological creatures with an insatiable appetite, commonly emblazoned on bronze vessels. It’s now used as a term to describe gluttonous people. Written as 饕餮, it’s pronounced ‘Tao Ti’ in Chinese, which happens to be a homonym of the FL’s name, 陶缇 (Tao Ti). <<less

After maxing out the notoriously bad healer class and completing an ascension event, I got transported into a world that closely resembled the game, but in which most of the game’s systems had disappeared, even though my appearance and skills remained the same.

Even though I am a boy, the pretty girl I was playing as became my real body, with shining wings on my back. A race that can “heal” the wounds of the world, which should have been extinct long ago.

But isn’t that a bit too harsh of a start for a level 1 healer?

The defeated general thus returned, only to face endless humiliation. However, something changed the day he was defeated—Fang Chen realized that his soul could leave his body and roam the world.

Shen Xingcong transmigrated into a specific starting point of the cultivation script and became the cannon fodder senior brother of Xiao Lin, the main villain in the text.... more>>

At that time, Xiao Lin was still an unworthy junior brother, but Shen Xingcong knew that this person would one day slaughter the whole family completely. Even his fellow teachers, who treated him very well, won’t be let off!

Therefore, when he woke up and saw his junior brother had been bullied and humiliated by the original owner, there was only one thought in his mind.

Well played!

Beat him to death, beat him to death!

Xiao Lin was born with an antisocial personality. Since it couldn’t be changed, it would be better to retaliate (cross out) and educate bluntly!

Shen Xingcong was no longer afraid.

.

Until one day, he came back home.

The baleful Shura stood among the sea of blood with a sword, his eyes were bright red, and he looked back at him.

Shen Xingcong straightened his neck firmly and waited silently for the sword to penetrate his chest. Unexpectedly, the man smiled.

“No one will hinder us again.”

His face was stained with blood, but his tone was utterly inconsistent with innocent.

“After I take over the sect, you will be the wife of the sect leader, okay?”

.

Xiao Lin was defective in human emotions and desires since childhood. He was unable to feel happy and never even feel pain. Only the sense of emptiness spreading unceasingly in his body.

Until that person appeared, a dark heart finally burst into waves.

He ignored the man’s terrified look. He pushed the man to the bed forcefully and brushed the corner of his reddened eyes with his cold fingertips.

“Senior brother is the one who provokes me first.”

His eyes were slightly curved, yet they seemed to sink into the mud, and the bottom couldn’t be seen.

“So, you should also be responsible to the end.”
