But the world after his rebirth, it seems, something is wrong?

Scientific subversion, miraculous ghost recovery! Aunties danced in the square with the Dancing God, and the pen fairies in the stationery shop were out of stock. The whole society started a metaphysical upsurge. What’s more, since Wu Rong’s rebirth, strangers have been scrambling to call him.

Stranger A: Wu Rong, don’t die! Remember, on September 15, 2142, you must travel for a trip, otherwise, you will die!

Stranger B: Boss, it’s me! You should quickly die and we will rule the world together!

Stranger C: Hahahaha Wu Rong, Wu Rong, I’m back. Just you wait. I’ll eat you one mouthful at a time to relieve my hatred!

Stranger D: Hello, is it Wu Rong? I’m the Director of the Federal Security Administration. Please pay attention to your own safety and don’t die!

……

Wu Rong: ???

It’s said that after my death, I became the strongest ghost king in the world and almost ruled the world?

There was something wrong with this miraculous and resurgent world. Countless people and ghosts have been reborn from Ghost King Wu Rong's reign. At this time, the future Ghost King Wu Rong, who was full of resentment and hatred, tyrannical and mu*derous, was still just an unruly little gangster, Brother Rong.

Some people wished Wu Rong would never die and just live like a bastard. Others were eager to see the Ghost King come earlier. Even the resentful ghost begged and couldn’t help being infatuated to the extreme, loving him enough to kill him…

Wu Rong: ??? What the hell is this??

As a result, under the multiple influences of the reborn ones, Wu Rong has lived a colorful life since then, and even went back to the Miao area by accident to inherit his family business.

A few years later, the reborn people found out that the plot was not quite right.

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.

Retribution shall be meted out upon the two houses that, as they were blinded by greed, had abandoned their children
And they shall be bestowed with everything they rightfully deserve.

'If it's not in my hands, I'll take it by force.'

In this life, there came the resolve to metamorphose into a marauder of vengeance.

All was but a fragment within the mosaic of a meticulously crafted design.
Love, within this intricate orchestration, was deemed an unnecessary sentiment.
However...

"I’m going crazy. I just want so, so much to wrap my arms around your waist, pull you to me and give you a kiss right now.”

"I concede, Cecilia. You won."

"Therefore, as the victor, lay claim to the spoils of war."

On Qin Qingzhuo’s twenty-ninth birthday, his friends in the circle organized a small birthday party for him. Outside the window, the sound of rain was pattering. Someone raised a glass to offer their blessings, expressing the hope that Teacher Qin would encounter a passionate and lasting romance before turning thirty.

Someone nearby added, jokingly suggesting it would be best if he were liked by a handsome young man—eighteen would be too young, but nineteen would be just right. This playful remark elicited laughter from everyone present.

As glasses clinked and red wine flowed, Qin Qingzhuo, in a slightly intoxicated state, found himself thinking about a pair of eyes. He wondered if there really was such a young man.

Meanwhile, that young man was eagerly awaiting his response, hoping to meet him on this rainy night.

The background involves a variety show featuring a band, with a mix of a rebellious and sharp musician as the gong and a gentle and mature mentor as the shou.

Wen Shi unexpectedly got pulled into an infinite game.

【Congratulations to the player for awakening the ‘I Am Who I Am’ skill.”

I Am Who I Am: Spend one hundred points to summon another ‘me’ from a parallel world once.】

Wen Shi replied indifferently, “Summoning someone to their death?”

Until——

On the night of the horror castle, the castle owner insisted on finding the most perfect bride, eliminating one player every night until then.

The once unremarkable story took a drastic turn when Wen Shi summoned a girl with a long sword.

The girl affectionately called Wen Shi “Little Brother” while holding the sword’s tip to the castle owner’s forehead.

On that day, the castle owner became completely terrified of marriage. In the bloody dormitory, Wen Shi accidentally summoned a sickly heartthrob.

The sickly heartthrob knocked on every door with a smile at the indescribable residents. “Would you take care of me?”

On the night of Ghost Festival, when the gates of the netherworld were opened and the night was filled with spirits, Wen Shi and the summoned zombie stared at each other.

Wen Shi: “Come, follow my lead. The night of the hundred ghosts is dangerous. We should be cautious.”

Zombie: “H-hundred households’ meals smell delicious.”

Wen Shi: “Survive!”

Angry Zombie: “H-hungry, f-food, not picky!”

While on a smooth voyage, shocking news fell upon her.

“The Admiral is coming.”

Despite the hot weather, chills ran down her spine. Lil took her eyes off her hands and looked up at Alain, the boatswain.

“Who?”

“The Admiral of the Peninsula! That madman! Admiral Retiro!”

That infamous admiral, known for skinning the heads of pirates he captured and throwing their limbs as food for the cannibal fish, the one with an eccentric and bizarre reputation will come to the South.

“It will be for the best to not cross his path. We should get out of here before he arrives!”

In the dark and filthy underground city, Huo Xianfeng discovered a special omega.... more>>

He is gorgeous, cold, and sharp, like a rose emerging from thorns.

There were more than a dozen wailing alphas lying on the ground, and the beautiful omega was blushing from his turbulent estrus, panting hoarsely.

His silver hair was stained with blood. Disgust and mu*derous intent surged in his beautiful crimson pupils.

"Do you also want to… mark me?"

Huo Xianfeng, who suffered from Pheromone Recognition Disorder, was surprised——

"Why would you think so? I'm just passing by."
