My WeChat friend… he might not be human.... more>>

Jian Mei added a WeChat friend by accident. The other party didn’t follow any celebrities or surf the internet, living as if he were in ancient times. Jian Mei cherished this friendship, even if the other party was exceptionally cold and seemed… a little abnormal.

Jian Mei: “I had fried chicken and a hamburger today. What about you?”

The other party: “Nutrient solution.”

Jian Mei: “I usually like playing games and watching movies. What about you?”

The other party: “Assembling mechas and reading  memorials to the throne.”

Jian Mei: ?

In the 26th year of Xingyuan’s establishment, the universe entered an era of rapid development. Lu Xingwang, the third prince of the strongest planet, Stan Star, was weak and sickly. He was criticized by the outside world for his physique. He had a dark personality and never communicated with the outside world.

One day.

Lu Xingwang found that his communication terminal would inexplicably receive strange chat messages.

Although boring, the strange sticker packs and wordy nonsense slowly became his only hope through his dark years.

In the 29th year of Xingyuan’s establishment.

The royal family was in turmoil, and the Third Prince Lu Xingwang was formally established as the crown prince.

It should have been the liveliest of time, but the only issue was that the person who had always reached out to him every day seemed to have lost contact. There was no news from him anymore.

Until a year later.

His Highness, the Crown Prince, unexpectedly saw a missing person report on the interstellar network: “Lu Dazhuang from an unknown planet, your friend Jian Mei is anxiously looking for you. If you see this message, please call us.”

Lu Xingwang: “……” <<less

I became the villainess who grew up in the same orphanage as the male lead.... more>>

Whenever the male and female leads were about to get together, this villainess would pretend to be sick to drive a wedge between them.

But when I became her, it turned out to be a hopeless fate filled with disability, incurable disease, and even mental illness.

Still, since I knew the contents of the novel, I decided to try my best to avoid the landmines, and I was finally on the verge of success.

'My life is just beginning now!'

But then.

"Did you hate me so much that you fled to this faraway foreign land in that condition?"

"Huh?"

The male lead smiled brightly as he picked up the bloodstained handkerchief I had carelessly tossed aside.

"You said you'd stay by my side forever. You have to keep your promise... so I don't go crazy, right?"

It seems that the male lead has darkened because I ran away...? <<less

My execution had been decreed, and thus, I met my demise.... more>>

"To kill you as a villain would be a bit of a waste."
"How about it? I want to give you a chance."

No, I thought I was dead.
But was it because of what the enemy-like guy said just before I died?

‘Gerun, that son of a b*tch...!’

When I opened my eyes, it was ten years ago. And in a different world!

*

Since I've already come back to life, there’s nothing I can do about it.

To avoid repeating the foolish past,

"Give me everything from here to there."
"...You’re going to buy all of this?"

I used that enemy-like guy as my wallet,

"Well, I heard from my friends that my dear granddaughter likes shopping so much, and that you act cute, too."
"It's just because I need a wallet.
"......"

"Father, I'm going to attend a party. Can you escort me?"
"...Of course. But are you alright with me?"
"Yes. As long as you dress up nicely."
Even the once-broken family relationship was splendidly restored.

"...If I say yes, I like you, would that make things difficult for you, Roxelyn?"
"Then, how about we date for just six months?"
"...Pardon?"
The business of love, which I had once already given up on, had also started perfectly.

It was the perfect future I had hoped for...

"Rox, you also have an Abyss."

Even to someone like me who thought I was incompetent, power awakened within me.
As such...

When Xie Qi was in his senior year of high school, his parents had a car accident, it was hit and run. The sky-high medical bills made Xie Qi breathless, and he seemed to be on the verge of dropping out of school and going to work as a naked male model.... more>>

Until one day, when Xie Qi was delivering food to his parents, he went to the wrong ward and was grabbed by a busy nurse to clean the vegetative patient on the hospital bed.

Xie Qi did as he was told, but when he was about to leave, his hand was suddenly grabbed by a vegetative patient. The nurse was shocked and hurriedly called for help.

Even the mother of the vegetative patient rushed to the scene. Seeing this, she immediately wiped away tears and said, “You are the one Yizhi likes, right? No wonder he reacted when he saw you coming.”

Xie Qi: “Auntie, I’m not…”

The other party interrupted, “You will be my daughter-in-law, and I will give you 200,000 pocket money every month, as long as you talk to him every day and stimulate him to wake up.”

Xie Qi: “…”

Xie Qi with a calm face: “Okay, Mom, can you sign the contract?”

After signing the contract, Xie Qi immediately symbolically married his husband who was in a vegetative state. <<less

Shin Ju-kyung has lived his entire life to fulfill his father’s wishes.... more>>

Finally reaching the pinnacle of the hunter world, he meets his end at the hands of his younger siblings, who feigned indifference and abandoned him.

When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself back 11 years in the past. With doubts about his life, he reflects on his own indifference and chooses to live not as the son his father wanted to be the best, but as an older brother to his young siblings.

However, as he tries to be a good older brother and gets closer to his siblings, things start to get twisted in strange ways…

“Shin Ju-kyung. Let’s make one thing clear.

So, is the definition of good you’re talking about possibly love?”

“Yes. It’s love.”

Isn’t it natural to love your siblings?

Ju-kyung, who wonders why he’s being asked, and his siblings, who are shocked by his answer.

As misunderstandings and misconceptions pile up, will Shin Ju-kyung be able to change the terrible future and reach a happy ending? <<less

If selected as a player in a horror game, it’s either clear the game or die.... more>>

Ruan Qing had it worse. He directly became a special player who played the role of an NPC in the horror game, essentially living in the opening credits.

What’s even more unfortunate for him is that his physique is extremely peculiar, attracting the attention of sadists and psychopaths no matter where he goes.

Game 1: [Horror Livestream Room] – A gloomy and delicate victim who can’t bear the slightest grievance – Completed.

Those who owe debts always have to repay them, and once you owe a debt, you will be selected by the horror livestream.

Ruan Qing was the first to be chosen: “…”

After Ruan Qing was chosen, various ways of his death flooded the invisible barrage in the livestream room.

However, when the camera focused on Ruan Qing’s face, the barrage froze, and the previously cruel and heartless comments instantly changed.

[I don’t think he deserves to die. Isn’t it just an insult? He didn’t lose any flesh. Why make a big deal out of it?]

[I agree, I don’t think he’s a bad person.]
Initially, everyone said, [Someone so malicious should just die!]

But later, everyone flocked to the Weibo accounts of the people Ruan Qing had insulted: [You can’t even afford grapes, but you dare to eat steak. Do you still have any humanity?]

People who were inexplicably insulted: “??? Are you crazy?”

If you discover a serial killer knocking on your door, about to break in within a few minutes, what would you do? If it were any other host, the audience would probably be excited and want to see various ways they would die.

But if it were Ruan Qing…

[Don’t open the door, Ruan Qing! Please don’t open the door! Run away quickly!!!]
Ruan Qing took out his phone and dialed the number of the neighbor across the hall (another serial killer), “Hello, your food delivery has arrived. Can you please open the door and pick it up?” <<less

In the eternal winter of the Duke’s mansion, a cursed beast resides. The owner of the place and the male lead in the book, Duke Winternox. Carol became his night-guarding tutor.... more>>

Originally, she was destined to die entangled in his rampage. To survive, she should have avoided getting involved with him, but on the other hand, she also wanted to prevent his tragedy.

She only wanted to teach him that he was not the only one cursed, but what he learned from her was not just that.

“It’s hot and silent. I wonder what the teacher looks like?”

She read the longing contained in his fingers. And just like all the other female leads, Carol failed to train him.

“…You’ve got the wrong person.”

“Got it wrong?”

The breath digging into her earlobe was hot.

“Remembering the moment I touched the teacher’s cheek, I thought about it every night.”

The voice, soaked in heat and cracked, bound her.

“How could I be mistaken?” <<less

Finally, it was their first night. ... more>>

Leticia whispered, leaning her forehead against his chest.

"As expected, is it too far? Should I get closer?"

Dietrian barely swallowed a groan. His hand grasping Leticia's shoulder was shaking with a sweet faze, but she didn't notice.

"I know that you’re uncomfortable. But please bear with me until my mother comes."

Dietrian hated Leticia. It was natural as Leticia's mother killed his family. She had never doubted the fact.

So she didn't know, how badly his face was distorted by her words.

“You just have to put up with me for half a year. Then, I will divorce you as you wish.”

At the word ‘divorce’, he gritted his teeth. <<less

As a result of a plane crash, Chen Xing arrived in a never-seen-before dynasty. Here, there were not only women and men but also a Ger who could bear children. Not only did he become a Ger, but he was also married off as the substitute bride to a medicine jar that wouldn’t live for long. The first time he saw him, Chen Xing thought, ‘A medicine jar is a medicine jar, anyway, he is good-looking, so it’s not a loss for me. In the future, I can open a restaurant and support him.’... more>>

When Jiang Shiyu moved into the Shen family at the age of 16, he met Shen Li. It didn't take long for them to get together. From then on, everyone knew that the frail and beautiful Jiang Shiyu was the treasured apple of Shen Li’s eye. Shen Li protected Jiang Shiyu like a dragon guarding its treasure, slowly nurturing the broken and fragile Jiang Shiyu back to health.... more>>

A car accident caused Shen Li to suffer brain damage, leaving him with all his memories except those of Jiang Shiyu. After the accident, Shen Li believed himself to be a straight man and scorned Jiang Shiyu, even though everyone around him said that he was the one who first harbored impure thoughts and tirelessly took care of Jiang Shiyu. Shen Li didn’t believe a word of it, scoffing at the notion, and sternly told Jiang Shiyu, "I’m straight, stay away from me!"

Later, at the school’s freshman opening ceremony, Jiang Shiyu was invited to play a piano piece, stunning the audience. The performance received thunderous applause, and a bold freshman even confessed to him on the spot, causing quite a sensation.

Backstage, in a narrow utility room, Jiang Shiyu was pressed against the wall with a hand over his mouth. The skin on his neck was rudely bitten, and he tilted his head back like an oxygen-deprived swan. Shen Li buried his head in Jiang Shiyu’s neck, speaking with dissatisfaction and grievance, "Baby, you’re too beautiful. Can I hide you away?" The difference in size and complexion was stark, with the frail and delicate Jiang Shiyu resembling nothing more than a sickly, pampered cat. <<less

Shen Ning transmigrated into a canary stand-in Shouwen story and became a miserable Shou who was tortured 90% of the time. Then he discovered that even if he transmigrated, he was still sick.... more>>

The young man’s eyes turned cold for a moment. Whether or not he was tortured, he was about to die anyway.

After signing the contract, Xie Yin discovered that he was not raising a canary but the “super invincible supreme” version of the “sickly little ancestor”.

Shen Ning: “Ahem, cough, cough, what did you say!”

Gong’s mother: “…It’s nothing, I don’t want to be a mu*derer “

Gong’s weird friends: “Don’t think it’s a big deal that Xie Yin likes you, you are just a substitute… there will be angels who will love you for you.”

Shen Ning: ? Why suddenly poetic?

Later, when Gong’s ex-boyfriend returned to China, he sat elegantly in front of Shen Ning and said to him: “Did you know? Xie Yin likes to hear me play the piano the most.”

Shen Ning lowered his head and replied: “I don’t know, I just know that if you don’t return my phone to me, this place will soon be surrounded by police cars and ambulances.”

Shen Ning had just taken the phone back, and from the other end: “Why didn’t you answer my call?!”

Shen Ning frowned: “Your ex-boyfriend took the phone away.”

“You just gave it to him because he took it?” Xie Yin said angrily, “You’re driving me crazy on purpose!”

Shen Ning was confused, when did he get involved? Aren’t *you* driving yourself crazy?

Lu Nian has transmigrated into a novel and become an insignificant and frail supporting female character. She is the heiress of the prestigious Lu family and appears as a pitiful and sickly beauty. In the original plot, she was a cannon fodder character who died after only a few chapters. Unfortunately, the Lu family brought a fake older brother from an orphanage to assist Lu Nian during her childhood. This "brother" is actually a servant of Lu Nian, treated as lowly and disposable as a dog.... more>>

When Lu Nian transmigrates, she sees a pale and handsome young man who is being trampled upon by others. His eyes are gloomy and cold, and he stares intensely at her from a distance. Lu Nian trembles when she hears his name. Isn't he the ultimate villain in the novel? He is the final successor of the Lu family, cold-hearted and ruthless, with immense power. He seeks revenge for the suffering he endured in his youth and nearly perishes along with the male protagonist.

Terrified, Lu Nian decides to treat him well during her limited remaining lifespan, hoping that he would spare her at least as a loyal dog after his descent into darkness. Qin Si never imagined that one day he would receive such tenderness from her, which he had daydreamed about.

"I'm not calling off the engagement! And I'll cover all living expenses while we live together!"

【Serious Version Synopsis】
As demons wreak havoc across the continent of Divine Land, humanity retreats to sprawling metropolises, barely clinging to survival amidst rising discord.

From north to south, divisions deepen; noble houses and imperial factions clash incessantly; the common folk suffer under oppression; and roving bands of rebels bide their time, ready to upheave the fragile order at a moment's notice.

Describing this human world in two words?

Utter chaos, a quagmire.

Transmigrated into this world, the frail youth Cheng Jinyang sets two modest goals for himself:

1. To regain his health through physical training.

2. To become stronger!

As part of the imperial family, every move by Chu Yuan in this game of chess is made with apprehension, fearing that with a moment of inattentiveness, the whole match will be lost in a single move.... more>>

Ascending to the throne at eighteen, not half a year passes before civil strife erupts in Yun Nan. Though the thoughts of the old guard at the imperial court are not exactly identical, they are all waiting to see how the new emperor will put an end to this.

Unexpectedly, before this side could make a move, a few thousand miles away, the King of Xi Nan, Duan Bai Yue, had already personally commanded troops to attack in all directions; not half a year had passed when peace was restored.

Sparse moonlight shines into the palace; Chu Yuan stamped the wax seal himself, and had a secret letter sent urgently to Yun Nan 800 miles away — this time, what must we(1) give in exchange?

Brush marks passed through the back of the paper; it almost can be seen, when writing this line, how angry the young emperor was.

Duan Bai Yue spread out a piece of paper unhurriedly, replying with only one word.

You.

Note (1): Chu Yuan is using the royal ‘we’ here.

A bag of blood for the Duke!... more>>

In the novel ‘The Duke Who Drinks Blood’, I was possessed by an extra whose blood gets s**ked mercilessly by the male lead and then dies.

For him, who can only use his power by drinking blood, Leoni in the original story calmly gave blood, but since I am the only person who can save the male lead, do I need to be obedient?

“I can’t walk because I’m dizzy because I got blood drawn. Please lift it there and move.”

So I tried to work as much as I could and ran away far beyond the north…
