There are three treasures in the imperial city: Me, my husband and my mother-in-law. ... more>>

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?

Aiyah, the hearts of these people are so dirty.

In a city of the dead, long since ruined and far from human civilization, lives a single human child. His name is Will, and he’s being raised by three undead: the hearty skeletal warrior, Blood; the graceful mummified priestess, Mary; and the c*otchety spectral sorcerer, Gus. The three pour love into the boy, and teach him all they know.... more>>

But one day, Will starts to wonder: “Who am I?” Will must unravel the mysteries of this faraway dead man’s land, and unearth the secret pasts of the undead. He must learn the love and mercy of the good gods, and the bigotry and madness of the bad. And when he knows it all, the boy will take his first step on the path to becoming a Paladin.

In the fourteenth year of Chenghua, the imperial harem had one Consort Wan, just as the Western Depot had one Chief Eunuch named Wang Zhi. Crown Prince Zhu Youcheng was barely eight years old, and it was uncertain whether he could grow to adulthood without a hitch.... more>>

The Emperor was mediocre, and feckless. Eunuchs deceived those above them and kept those below them in the dark. Court officials patched up leaks left and right. Those doing evil were arrogantly savaging, and those doing good were helplessly sighing.

As Zong Yan sat in the classroom, he always felt like the odd man out. His body was there but his soul had sneaked out the window. He wanted to do anything, wanted to be anyone, as long as he wasn’t himself.... more>>

He had a cool and unbelievable superpower:

He could extract different persona cards from the void with his bare hands. With a high enough “SAN” value, Zong Yan could become an entirely different being. Superpowers, ancient gods, eldritch powers, even… an Outer God.

Soaring above the dome of the magical city, he was the free-flying son of the wind.

Strolling through the rain-soaked, foggy streets of London, he was the secretive and unpredictable night watchman.

Walking in the extravagance and glamour of New York, he was the sun god who held the light in his hands.

Diving into the geometric city of R’lyeh, he was the indescribable king.

In the gorgeous and colorful world of dreams, he was the original belief in the universe.

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 mouth 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.

“Did you also count this?” He raised his wrist with effort, then 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

Yan Wushi had walked a path full of blood and corpses.... more>>

He did not believe in the good nature of humanity. Even more so, he did not believe that there could be someone with great kindness and sense of justice, who would be so considerate of others without asking anything in return.

One day, Shen Qiao, who was the sect leader of Mount Xuandu, the number one Daoist sect under the heavens, was challenged to a duel but somehow fell off the cliff.

Yan Wushi happened to pass by down there.

Seeing Shen Qiao who was seriously injured to the point of dying, he suddenly came up with a perfect idea…

After thousands of autumns, who could stay eternal? <<less

Rege, before they met: Damn, who the hell is Jian Qiao? If he dares to steal my girl, I’ll mess him up!... more>>

Qin Yan was already a demonic cultivator when Fu Changling met him for the first time.... more>>

He had killed Fu Changling’s entire family before he placed an old jade in his palm.

He had said: Fu Changling, people are like jade. Only after they had weathered through the hundred sorrows of life and death, could they acknowledge their truest strength.

With this, their swords clashed as they spent half their lives trying to kill each other.

He had delivered Qin Yan to his trial on the Judiciary Platform to be hacked to death and watched as he cut out his love root.

Fu Changling died and was reborn into the year when he was seventeen.

This time, he met Qin Yan much earlier and was also informed of the truth that he hadn’t known in his past life.

And so, with his body drenched in blood, he climbed his way before Qin Yan and told him in a hoarse voice:
“Once, you’ve gone into the Golden Light Temple and suffered long nails driven through your bones; you fought ten thousand ghouls in the Ten Thousand Bone Cliffs; you waited for an entire night in a stormy rain at the Bridge of Reincarnation; you have lit the zen lanterns for ten years in the Unsullied Palace—all for my sake. Qin Yan, it was you who fell in love with me first.”

“But I’ve forgotten.”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, because I do.”

Shivering, Fu Changling took out the very same jade Qin Yan gave him back then. Stained with blood, he lifted his gaze at Qin Yan, and said word-by-word repeatedly—

‘People are like jade; that needs to be carved to become a fine specimen. Only when they are chiselled and carved by knives and axes, weathered through the hundred pains of life and death, could they acknowledge their truest strength.’

“Presently, Changling has truly turned into a carven jade,” Fu Changling swallowed as he spoke, “Would Shixiong be willing to start over?”

This is a path of redemption. Even if he has to walk through a field of thorns, he would give anything for that chance.

The eighteen tier young actor Lu Wen had low EQ. He had talent for acting but no foresight. On the first day of joining the filming crew, he offended Qu Yanting, a big screenwriter in the circle.

Lu Wen: It was not intentional.

Later, he thought that Qu Yanting would use his position as a big name in the circle to take revenge, using upspoken rule on this small fresh meat then using money to ruin his reputation.

Lu Wen: The entertainment industry is really dirty.

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.”

Tao Ti, a little taotie* cub, transmigrated and became the bride of the sickly crown prince who was meant to chase out his ill fortune, but ended up committing su*cide by ingesting poison. ... more>>

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
