Other people might say that it was a marriage without love, but it wasn’t for Chloe. She loved her husband with all her heart.... more>>

But then…

“I guess you don’t know how uncomfortable it is for me to be with you.”
“Get out. Don’t come near me for the time being.”

Think about it.
Once she dies, what will he do?

“I will die in two years.”

She had only two years left to live.
She wanted to live the way she wanted, even if only for this short amount of time.

“Divorce. Let’s do that.”

Chloe presented the neatly arranged divorce papers to her husband.
And she thought he would have no qualms.

“My wife has finally gone crazy.”

He tore the papers apart and gritted his teeth.

“A divorce, or anything similar to it. We can’t do it. Never.”

Her husband started acting strange.

Why now? <<less

I am Everiel Solgren.... more>>

I died at the age of fourteen along with the fall of my lineage, in the hands of the emperor.

“I’m weally…”

I thought I was dead. But when I opened my eyes, I found myself back on my birthday nine years ago.

“Am I seriously five years old now?”

Momentary confusion amidst the inexplicable regression. If things go as planned, Solgren will perish once again, and so will I.

To avoid a dreadful fate, the only way is to bolster my father’s, Duke Herwin Solgren’s, influence to resist against the emperor.

Yeah. If Dad protects me, I’ll be fine! That’s all there is to it… except for one little problem.

“Cough, cough…!”

My dad is too frail.

What should I do?

* * *

Herwin silently drew his sword. The blood dripping from the blade belonged to the assassins scattered in the corridor.

“Sloppy.”

“I suppose this will suffice.”

As rumored, Herwin was ‘known’ to be frail. A sickly Northern duke so weak he couldn’t even leave his bed, let alone his chamber. But contrary to gossip, Herwin was strong. Overwhelmingly so, capable of facing multiple assailants alone without breaking a sweat.

“Clean it up without a fuss. Make sure my child doesn’t wake up.” <<less

According to popular legend, the war god of Da Liang Huo Wujiu was once captured by the enemy country. His meridians were severed and both his legs broken before he was thrown into prison. In order to humiliate him, that dissolute ruler even gifted him to his cutsleeve brother as a concubine.... more>>

General Huo suffered a great deal of humiliation and insult. He bided his time for three years before the cicada shed his skin and he escaped back to Da Jing. After treating his crippled legs, he led his army in three months to storm the enemy’s capital, slaughter its emperor, raze its capital, and finally beheaded that garbage cutsleeve, hanging his head on the city walls for three whole years.

Since then, the world has been united.

——

Jiang Suizhou, a history department graduate advisor at a certain university, received a dissertation which used these unofficial histories of Huo Wujiu as their basis, and criticized the student to no end.

When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into that cutsleeve prince from the stories.

There were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere. A servant came, sending word that the disabled general of the enemy state had already entered the prince's manor in his wedding sedan.

Facing down General Huo, who had been tortured to the verge of death, dressed in red wedding clothes, glaring balefully, Jiang Suizhou only then knew - these wild stories could also come true.

And cause him to be beheaded for public display, his head hung on the city walls for three years.

Jiang Suizhou’s only option was to provide for General Huo well.

The overt and covert attacks of the imperial court, the witless ruler's every possible humiliations -- he grit his teeth and absorbed it all, all in the hopes that in three years time, he could but keep this head of his.

Of course, he didn’t dare to even dream of asking this 9 ci* tall “concubine” to actually serve him.

However, before the three years was up, General Huo’s legs actually healed on their own.

Not only did he slaughter the useless ruler and unified the country, but he also forcefully blocked him in the room and insisted on fulfilling his duty as "concubine."

“Oh, dear.”

There were fallen assassins everywhere and my husband, who was covered in blood held a sword against me.

“You’ve been caught.”

“……”

“I thought you wouldn’t come.”

Apparently, my sick husband is too healthy for some reason.

“I think you’re healthy enough now, so I’m leaving.”

She raised her head with a polite greeting, but on other hand her husband’s expression is not good.

"Leaving? Where?"

"Well, I’m thinking of using my powers to set up a hospital."

I carefully stuck out our divorce contract. And then—

(Sfx : clap!)

My husband ripped the divorce contract with an expressionless face.

The protagonist shou, Xie Sui, was a proud son of heaven. He had an illustrious family background, was cold and removed from desire, and attracted many (psychopathic) admirers. From the gentle senior to the paranoid president, to the haughty and proud arch-enemy, these big guys were all top leaders of their respective fields, yet they were all crazy about him.... more>>

After pushing him down a series of mentally and physically abusive paths, the three of them decided to join hands to destroy the Xie Family, imprison Xie Sui, crush his pride, and turn him into a pet that could only rely on them.

While the crowd of readers howled “Wuwuwu the feels~”.

Song Yu was already so angry he was going crazy. Not wanting to read any more of this eye-searingly bad novel, he cursed, “Idiots.” and hurried offline.

As a result, when he woke up, he’d transmigrated.

He’d transmigrated to become the Third Young Master of the Song Family in the novel, who had only been briefly mentioned in passing, would die of a terminal illness, and was Xie Sui’s childhood friend.

Song Yu was terribly upset. At the same time, he’d already come to a decision in his heart––those three idiots, had better not think about wanting to get close to his little childhood friend!

Xie Sui was born cold-hearted. In two lifetimes, he’d never tasted the sweetness of love, nor had he ever experienced the feeling of being protected.

After destroying three big families and personally killing his enemies, he was reborn back to when he was 15 years old. He had to hide the violence and coldness in his heart and pretend to be the youth with a gentle and clean appearance that he’d been in the past.

Everything was the same as before, except that the little childhood friend who was nothing but a vague memory in his previous life was exceptionally different this time.

Like the spring breeze that thawed the frozen soil, someone reached into the abyss and grabbed his blood-stained hand.

Song Yu tore apart a love confession letter like he was venting and fumed, “Don’t pay attention to those people, don’t believe in their sweet words. They’re all scum, and their love is worthless. Don’t like them, okay?”

Xie Sui gazed at him for a long time, then laughed, “Alright, I don’t like them.”

I only like you. <<less

Shen Ci accidentally transmigrated into a novel. He became the tragic protagonist shou in a dog-blood novel featuring the rich and the powerful.... more>>

The owner of this body was originally the spoiled young master of the Shen family. But by a twist of fate, his family fell into ruin. He was therefore sent into a marriage of convenience by his cruel father.

And the person Shen Ci’s going to marry was exactly the villain Qin Yi, who, in the novel, made the blood run from people’s faces.

Qin Yi was a musical genius who became famous at a young age. However, his legs were disabled due to a car “accident.” He could only be accompanied by a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Ever since then, he became gloomy, paranoid, and moody, and he avoided others.

After news spread that young master Shen was marrying Qin Yi, everyone waited to see him become a joke.

Waited to see him being bullied to tears by this surly and vicious psycho.

–

Later, Shen Ci, who was finally bullied to tears, sat on Qin Yi’s lap. His eyes were red: “If gege does this again, I will…I will run away from home!”

Qin Yi held Shen Ci tight in his arms, wrapped his slender fingers around the back of Shen Ci’s neck, and whispered in his ear: “I’ll never let you run away.”

Lu Qingze, a people’s teacher, once transmigrated into a book and became an unfortunate imperial teacher.... more>>

Surrounded by wolves, either defect to the prime minister who has power over the government, or cultivate the young emperor into a generation of emperors through the ages.

Out of professional habit, Lu Qingze chose the latter.

No one is in awe of Lu Qingze, the emperor’s teacher who raised the young emperor with one hand. He has countless supporters of the imperial teacher. It is rumored that Lu Qingze has an ugly face, so he always wears a silver mask, lives in a secluded place, and rarely shows himself in front of others.

Only the young emperor knew what kind of pure and beautiful face lay beneath that mask.

After solving the trouble, Lu Qingze realized with hindsight that he raised the little cub to be a large wolf , and now the common enemy is gone, the little emperor started to move the people around him, and the next person who wants to fall to the ground is He; and now that the rabbits are dead, the dogs must be cooked! <<less

Fu Nianchi transmigrated into a book of Immortal melodrama.... more>>

He is a good-for-nothing young master who only has a good face, and he is about to marry the prince Ye Canglan who is about to die.

However, Fu Nianchi knew that Ye Canglan appeared to be a sick child who coughed up blood three times in one step, but in fact it was Lu Mu Xianzun from the Nine Heavens, who came to the world to overcome this human calamity.

There was only one month left before he died as a cannon fodder.

Fu Nianchi paid attention to everything, and took care of Ye Canglan who was seriously ill in bed, fearing that if the other party raised his hand in a bad way, he would die.

Fu Nianchi wiped Ye Canglan’s body, but accidentally knocked over the basin, and the hot water splashed all over the body of the immortal on the sick bed.

Fu Nianchi’s mind went blank: I’m going to die when it’s over!

However, Ye Canglan got up from the bed and tidied up the bed while vomiting blood: “No, you don’t need to do this job, are your hands burned? Hurry up and have a good rest, don’t worry about my life or death.”

Fu Nianchi:?

Brother, aren’t you a fairy, why are you trembling at me?

2.

Until one day, Fu Nianchi pushed open the door.

I saw Immortal Venerable rolling on the bed, muttering: “Today is the most serious day of mobile phone addiction. I lay on the bed and recited the Great Compassion Mantra desperately. I fanned myself to tears. I really feel like I am possessed by an evil spirit. In this sick world without mobile phones, I’m so lonely, I’m so lonely—”

Then he turned his head and saw Fu Nianchi who was stunned by the door.

Ye Canglan: ……………

Fu Nianchi: ……………

Ye Canglan’s expression became extremely frightened, and he knelt down on the ground with his head in his hands: “I’m sorry, I didn’t say anything, please don’t kill me!”

Fu Nianchi: “Huh???”

3.

Fu Nianchi: “So, I am the protagonist of your book?”

Ye Canglan nodded: “Yes, you are the sinner who masters arcane magic in the world of Xianxia. In the future, you will challenge the entire Nine Heavens with a magic wand in your hand, and gather spiritual energy from mountains and rivers to open the door to other worlds. From then on, monsters will run rampant and the way of heaven will be destroyed. ”

Ye Ming: This is an outcome I didn’t predict.

Shi Youqing, frail since childhood, found even stepping outside a luxury after a severe illness.... more>>

His mother began to play chess with him.

As the first piece was placed, everything became unsettling.

With each game’s end, the chessboard altered until the day he won, turning blood-red.

His mother, with pale eyes, asked him, “Youqing, do you prefer black or white?”

…

The world twisted bizarrely, birthing a Black World and a White World after a strange explosion.

In the Black World, indescribable monsters lurked, waiting to pounce.

The White World, devoid of the supernatural, hid countless dangers and malice.

Selected players, exhausted and cautious, suffered through brutal games until they met a fragile, sickly beauty, always with a thermos.

Initially met with disdain, annoyance, pity, and sympathy, someone recognized him.

“Wait, what! This guy was my teammate, dragged away by a ghost right before my eyes!”

“I’ve seen him! He chose the wrong food in the White World’s second level and melted into a puddle! I swear it’s true!”

“Wasn’t that you who fell into the lava before?”

“Aaaah, I watched him get devoured by zombies in the Black World…”

“It’s him – Shi Youqing!”

At first, he thought, apart from having to travel into the body of a scum cannon fodder, a scheming fake white lotus, everything else was okay.

In a desperate bid to survive, Xie Yin Xue, with no prior knowledge of exorcism, takes on a part-time job as a celestial master, helping individuals resolve paranormal occurrences. In return, clients are required to share a month of their lifespan with him and bear half of his afflictions.

His venture isn’t smooth sailing, prompting Xie Yin Xue to join a game named “Eternal Lock”. Once you’re in, failure to clear the game results in death. However, many participants are willing to endure temporary pain in exchange for extended life.

That is, until the day he meets a real NPC…

Xie Yin Xue: “Are you challenging me?”

After being reborn, Qi Juan returned to his sophomore year in high school. The good news was that he was reborn, but the bad news was that he was still a sickly person in this lifetime. He encountered the newly transferred teacher, Yu Yue Sheng, in his class. The teacher had a remarkable appearance, but unfortunately, they had a mouth that could spit swords. Whenever Qi Juan made even a slight mistake, the teacher coldly and impartially punished him with writing self-reflections or contacting his parents, seemingly finding fault with him.... more>>

During a coincidental bout of stomach pain, Qi Juan happened to fall into the teacher’s arms.

Qi Juan, in a daze: “Hug me.”

Teacher: “…………”

The teacher was not too willing, but their neck to earlobes turned red.

Qi Juan increasingly felt that the teacher was pretending to be refined but was actually easy to bully.

◆

Yu Yue Sheng is an educator who teaches and guides students. He finds Qi Juan, a mischievous troublemaker in the class, quite troublesome.

This student frequently experiences physical discomfort and often ends up injuring himself.

When Yu Yue Sheng gets slightly angry, this guy turns into a helpless little dog, with a face full of grievances, seeking to be patted on the head.

On a rainy night, Yu Yue Sheng is confronted and threatened in a small alley, ending up in a miserable state.

However, the punches thrown by the other person are blocked by the teenager’s palm. The ink-black hair nearly pokes into his eyes, and the pale skin exhibits a sickly appearance.

Yu Yue Sheng: “Qi Juan?”

But what he sees is a teenager holding a soaked tree branch, his voice so powerful that it pierces through his heart: “If anyone dares to harm Yu Yue Sheng again, give it a try!”

Ten minutes later, there were cries of pain all around.

Almost forgotten, the little dog is also a mad dog, a mad dog that belongs to Yu Yue Sheng alone.

The pale-faced young boy extends his hand towards him: “Don’t be afraid. I’ll take you home.” <<less

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.

Hidden from the prophecy, Runedeluz Esté, the daughter of the Marquis, was raised as a 'boy.'... more>>

Rune, as the sole heir of the Esté family,
applied to the academy to become a Sword Master following her father's footsteps. However, the Marquis consistently opposed it, isolating her from the world.

The seemingly forever closed gates opened, revealing an unfamiliar guest.

"It's been a long time, Runedeluz."
"...Do you know me?"

In her memory, an absent figure, someone knights would admire and idolize.
The leader of the Dark Knights and the commander of the Empire, Kylian Herais.'

"A closed door is ultimately just a wall. If you wish, I can be your key."

He suddenly appeared, disrupted her daily life, and then left.
He sent her the academy recommendation letter she had longed for.

And upon entering the academy and ranking first, he declared that she would be his squire.

"Runedeluz Esté. I appoint you as my squire."

Kneeling on one knee and briefly kissing the hilt of his sword, Rune raised her head.

"I pledge with all my heart and faith, staking my life and honor."

It was an honorable oath to become a knight solely for him.

* * *

"You always make me regret. And you make me scared."

Meeting again after three years, Kylian had a sharp face that seemed a bit more haggard.

Her lips, which had shared an oath with a kiss on the sword hilt, were now closer to Kylian's lips, as if they were about to touch.

"I'm giving you a chance to escape me now."
"...Do you mean to say that you want me, a man, now?"

Rune trembled.
She wanted to indulge in the emotions she had ignored for so long, even if what he desired was the false image of her as a man.

And as if conducting a verification ritual, he answered desperately.

"Yes, I want you." <<less
