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

The noble ladies in the capital all have a common moonlight in their hearts. Xie's eldest son, Xie Yun, is exceptionally handsome and noble.... more>>

But Sang Yao does not like him. It all started when she accidentally sprained her foot next to him. He could have reached out to support her, but instead, he casually dodged aside, watching Sang Yao fall, causing her to lose face.

Sang Yao: ╰（‵□′）╯

Sang Yao remembered this for a long time. Every time she passed by Xie Yun, she would snort in anger. But Xie Yun never looked at her.

Sang Yao: even more annoyed (｀Δ?）！

Until one day, Sang Yao happened to pick up Xie Yun's notebook, and when she opened it— Not only did it detail Xie Yun's infatuation with her, but there were also many romantic stories with the two of them as the main characters. What was even more outrageous was the love letters Xie Yun wrote to her, so rich in emotion, it was simply outrageous!

Sang Yao was furious and slammed the notebook shut, her face flushed red.

From then on, she looked at Xie Yun differently.

Indeed, even the most outstanding people have their troubles. Xie Yun, who seems to be able to do anything, is actually just a poor guy who loves her but doesn't dare to say a word to her in reality, and can only fantasize about her in his dreams every day.

Sang Yao has always been soft-hearted and occasionally takes the initiative to talk to Xie Yun. Xie Yun remained cold. Sang Yao: Just shy.

Later, there were changes in the clan, and Sang Yao had no choice but to seek Xie Yun. For Xie Yun, this was just a meeting that needed to be perfunctory.

He looked cold and said indifferently, "Miss, please leave, this matter has been settled." She knew this dog of a man wouldn't easily agree to her request. Without saying a word, Sang Yao went up and kissed him on the cheek, "Stop pretending, it's time to act." … In the silence, the two looked into each other's eyes. The once famous and always calm Xie Yun finally began to take this daring girl seriously. <<less

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.

Shen Wei bound herself to a super kindergarten system and returned to her villainous childhood period.

The future computer genius who would destroy the world was currently just a stubborn little darling suffering from domestic violence.

The future renowned autistic painter who would later commit su*cide had not yet been mol*sted by her stepfather.

The future highly intelligent criminal with an antisocial personality disorder was currently fighting dogs for a meal—everything could still be remedied.

Shen Wei found each of these children one by one and brought them back to the kindergarten, nurturing them with care.

After going live on the internet, the kindergarten became a hit!

"Which kindergarten teaches high-level math and calculus?"

"The kindergarten cafeteria serves a full imperial feast for lunch? It's still early, let me sleep a little longer."

"Did I see that right? The kindergarten's game room has the most advanced games on the market. Um, are they accepting 300-month-old babies?"

Before long, everyone flocked to it like a craze.

The once most high-end bilingual kindergarten in the city, which was previously deserted, now left the principal tossing and turning all night: "She must be insane!" <<less

She was the Queen of The Variants in the post-apocalyptic world, but after perishing together with the Zombie King, her soul transmigrated into a foreign world.... more>>

There, her heartless mother abandoned her husband and daughter, while her beauty daddy laid low and mysterious.

Not to worry, we’ve got the sickly Crown Prince that was poisoned from head to toe that she could absorb endlessly, he was the source she could use to activate her ability.

" I regret the moment I divorced you. And my folly that I knew nothing about until your heart left me. Rebecca, I want to win your heart back."

"Your Highness, you said you would live next door for the time being, but you didn't ask me to regret it?"

"You've been struggling, because of me..."

With those quiet words, Rebecca let go of their clasped hands.

"...How about you, Cedric?"

At that moment, instead of my departure, all I had to do was stay with Cedric...

***

There was only an unexpected sense of emptiness.

'Rebecca is gone. And with another man.'

The image of man and woman holding each other in their arms kept disturbing my mind. Soon, a thick tendon bulged above the back of my clenched hand.

'Rebecca, you can't leave me yet.'

Even if she did, it would be this way now. At least for the time she promises to stay in this castle. I had to give myself the slightest chance to catch her.

"Answer me, really, did you try to run away with another man? You did it to punish me because you can put up with it." <<less

From childhood to adulthood, Luo Zhi didn’t seem to have done anything right.... more>>

His biological parents didn’t like him. They only saw an excellent eldest brother, a caring sister, and a sensible stepson in their eyes. The sister whom is well-behaved towards everyone else, only treats him as air. The childhood friend that he grew up with would accept his gifts on the surface, only to turn around and throw it to the stray dogs on the roadside.

When he debuted as a singer, it was not gifts that he received, but countless of threatening letters scolding him for using his family background to oppress others and threatening him to quit the circle. He started his own film and television company, and spent money to hire an eighteenth-tier star to say “Happy Birthday” to him. When the little star unexpectedly exploded into the top stream, it was regarded as a robbery by fans, and it was picked up and scolded all the way to the hot search. The family accidentally fell overboard, and Luo Zhi was immersed in the bone-chilling ice cold water. He could only watch as his always indifferent eldest brother eagerly stretch out his hand to save his adopted brother.

When he was completely engulfed by the darkness, Luo Zhi finally felt that the world was really dull. If there was someone who can love him, let them appear. He wasn’t able to find them anyways.

After waking up in the hospital, he leaned back against the bed. He didn’t care current state of health nor did he care about the treatment. He was no longer interested in anything. But this time, everything was different.

His parents kept going to top hospitals and begged countless doctors just to save his life. The eldest brother’s eyes were red while he took care of him. His sister cried to the point of fainting by his bedside.

With scarlet eyes and fierce methods, he frantically took revenge on the eighteenth-tier star who slandered him at the beginning. He was inexplicably on the hot search once again, but this time the entry became #The whole world is waiting for Luo Zhi to come back#.

Later, the whole world did not wait for Luo Zhi.

However, someone familiar with the matter revealed that the Ming family, who built an entire maritime business empire and sank a top-level luxury cruise ship worth hundreds of billions of yuan, not only has another young master, but also the youngest captain who sails the world. <<less

Ning Shu traveled back to the 1970s and is now facing two challenges:... more>>

First, she is married in this body. However, because of military marriage regulations, she cannot divorce. Should she accept this man?

Second, this body has three sons. With their father absent and their mother neglectful, they constantly demand to report the original owner to their father when he returns.

Later, when the man returned, he saw his eldest and second sons wearing tattered clothes while cleaning, and the youngest son sitting on the floor massaging Ning Shu's legs.

Ning Shu, wearing new clothes, was eating melon seeds.

The man's face darkened: "I send you my salary every month, and this is how you take care of the children?"

Before Ning Shu could spit out the melon seed shells, the three sons erupted.

Eldest son: "You haven't been back for a year. What right do you have to talk about my mother?"

Second son: "Do you know how hard it has been for my mother to raise me this past year?"

Youngest son: "Bad person, hit...hit bad person..."

Man: "..." So the thirty yuan he sent each month went to the dogs?

Following the military, Ning Shu sat in the family compound cracking melon seeds while her sons washed vegetables and dishes beside her.

Some women couldn't stand it and said Ning Shu was lazy and didn't do housework.

The sons immediately retorted.

Eldest son: "I am my mother's son. Can't I feel sorry for my mother and want to be filial to her?"

Second son: "Just because you don't have anyone to be filial to you doesn't mean you can't allow others to be filial."

Youngest son: "Good son, filial to mother."

The women went to complain to the man, saying that Ning Shu had spoiled their sons.

The man thought, as long as his sons' sharp tongues weren't aimed at him, he didn't care about anyone else. <<less

She died.

Heaven gave her a chance to start again.

She vowed to earnestly repent and mend her ways.

Shi Qinglou, an expert in agriculture, opened her eyes after her death and transmigrated into an ancient peasant girl.... more>>

In the beginning, she was sold by her family and forcibly taken away to be buried with the rich son who was about to die of illness in the county town.

Shi Qinglou rolled up her sleeves and fought back.

Controlling evil with evil, and controlling violence with violence. She made her family cry and made them take the initiative to retire her from marriage, and support her.

After turning around, she took the initiative to marry Xiao Hanzheng, who was in a coma after being separated from his family.

Shi Qingluo looked at Xiao Hanzheng’s weak mother, weak younger sister, and well-behaved younger brother. She touched her chin in satisfaction.

From then on, she took on the important task of supporting the family, grasping the planting and breeding, leading the whole family to become rich, and accidentally becoming the richest woman in the country.

Xiao Hanzheng woke up.

His younger brother who drowned was alive and kicking. His younger sister who was dragged and buried alive after marriage was still at home. And his mother who went to the mountains to earn money to buy him medicine and was bitten to death by wild animals was still alive.

The point is that when he woke up, he had a capable little wife.

His mother and younger siblings all depend on and loved this little wife.

He looked at the little wife: “You support the family, so what should I do?”

The little wife: “You are in charge of being as beautiful as a flower, and you will be my backer when you take the imperial examination and become an official.”

Xiao Hanzheng’s cold heart came back to life, “Okay!”

From then on, he rolled up his sleeves and went to work. From being a young scholar, he became the most glorious and powerful minister.

Everyone in the capital waited for Xiao Hanzheng to divorce his mountain village wife. Countless ladies wanted to marry him and become his wife instead, but who knew that he would keep doting on his little wife?

Only he knew that from the moment he woke up, his little wife was his salvation in this life. <<less

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered, “Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

“Let’s fall down to hell together.”

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent struggling to survive in the apocalypse.... more>>

She felt her life slipping away, and a sense of relief washed over her. At last, she wouldn’t have to face this harsh world alone any longer. With a heavy heart, she slowly closed her eyes, a single tear rolling down her cheek.

As she teetered on the brink of death, a familiar voice, filled with regret and sorrow, called out her name. At first, she thought it was a mere hallucination, but the sound of someone digging through the snow to reach her seemed all too real.

Mustering the last of her strength, she forced her eyes open, desperate to catch one final glimpse of the face that had never left her heart. However, when her vision finally focused, she found herself in a completely different reality—she had been reborn.

—

Bi Qiao'an, who survived until the third year of the apocalypse, found herself reborn a year before the catastrophe began. Carrying the memories of her previous life's weaknesses, vulnerabilities, and desperate struggle for survival, she was now armed with the knowledge of the impending disasters. With this foresight, she made a resolute decision to seek the protection and support of her nation.

Shen Yanming, her long-lost childhood friend whose voice had called out to her in the final moments in her previous life, had also been reborn. Reunited in this new life, he not only gifted her a magical space but also assisted her in securing employment and amassing crucial supplies. He stood steadfastly by her side as they navigated the perils of the impending apocalypse together.

However, as they faced the challenges head-on, they discovered that the apocalypse in this life had taken a different course from the one they had previously experienced. The world was not only plagued by global rains and droughts but also by parasitic diseases, the devastating HZ virus, locust plagues, earthquakes, and solar mutations.

Amidst the chaos, the Alliance and the Guardian Team emerged, better prepared and no longer as helpless as they had been in Bi Qiao'an's previous life. The couple, witnessing the unity and resilience of the Qinghua Nation, felt a profound sense of hope and belief that by holding fast to their country, they would undoubtedly survive the apocalypse.

Years later, as the apocalypse finally drew to a close, Shen Yanming embraced his beloved wife and whispered, "Shouldn't we consider having another child?"

With a playful pout, Bi Qiao'an replied, "Aren't two enough?" <<less
