Kong Wenyu rose to power at a young age. Countless people offered themselves to his bed, hoping to climb up the social ladder through him.

Many of his business partners even tried sneaking “canaries” into his sheets.

But he never accepted any of them.

A friend once asked him why. The noble young man, long-haired with dark eyes, rested his chin on one hand. His gaze flickered briefly toward a shadowed corner before he replied calmly, “No reason. I simply don’t want to.”

Yet the voice that was cool and clear yesterday had turned hoarse today, and the slightly loosened collar revealed traces of suggestive red marks.

There was no doubt—his bed was not empty.

Sensing the shift, the friend tactfully changed the subject: “I heard your bodyguard is quite skilled. Lend him to me for a while?”

Kong Wenyu: “…”

The tall, broad-shouldered bodyguard stood silently behind him like a shadow, head slightly lowered, expression unreadable.

After the guests had left, a man with wheat-colored skin knelt on the ground, hands bound, his chest covered with mottled marks.

Kong Wenyu tilted the man’s chin up with the handle of a whip, voice teasing yet edged with malice:

“Out of all the bodyguards, why did he choose you?”

Nie Jun: “…”

—

Three years ago, Nie Jun had been one of the most feared mercenaries in the underworld—until that day on the cruise ship, when he met someone.

The man’s beauty was almost intoxicating. He had reached out, clutching at Nie Jun’s sleeve with drug-hazed eyes, and whispered:

“Save me.”

#Do personal bodyguards have to warm the bed too?

#If his voice goes hoarse from calling out, why still no official title?

#How long does a secret affair have to last before it becomes legitimate?

"Noona, you’re so pretty."

Ian rose from his seat, quietly gazing at Dayoung lying on the sunbed. Her beauty was the kind you could never get tired of looking at. He climbed on top of her, seeking her lips.

Prying open her slightly parted mouth, his tongue explored every corner. Ian traced his fingers along the scar on Dayoung’s waist, following its path downward.

A strange sensation made her toes curl.

"Hahh… This feels weird… Wait—"

"It’s not weird. It feels good, right?"

Dayoung couldn’t tell if this was a dream or reality.

A scene she had only imagined while reading zombie stories—

Now, it was happening to her in real life. The pleasure was intense, but the thrill in her mind and heart was even greater.

A deep moan escaped her at Ian’s touch, her body burning up as if scorched by fire.

"Haa… Ian…"

The growling of zombies had long since faded from their awareness.

Jiang Ciqing is the heir of an ancient blade-forging family. At sixteen, she stunned the entire Imperial Star with her first forged blade, hailed as the most talented blacksmith of her generation. Those seeking her blades formed lines stretching from the city gates, winding around the capital three times over. Everyone eagerly awaited her differentiation, hoping she would forge blades capable of slaying demonic beasts. ... more>>

Jiang Ciqing did not disappoint their expectations—she did indeed differentiate into an Alpha.

But she became the lowest-ranked Alpha, utterly incapable of imbuing her blades with the power to kill demonic beasts. Her pheromones were so faint they were almost undetectable, and she couldn’t even mark others.

The celebrated genius became a worthless failure. Unwilling to accept this, she scoured ancient texts and finally discovered a method to alter her fate: if a low-ranked individual bonded with a partner of vastly superior rank, the lower-ranked partner could gain an upgrade.

As everyone knew, there was only one S-rank Omega on the Imperial Star—Xu Fusheng, the infamous queen of the lawless lands, a ruthless figure perpetually at the top of the empire’s most-wanted list with a bounty of millions.

Once a proud blacksmith, Jiang Ciqing shattered her own pride, bending every effort to approach the woman rumored to despise Alphas to the core.

Through meticulous schemes, she made Xu Fusheng fall for her.

But after being reverse-marked, the Alpha fled in the dead of night, clutching her clothes, determined to return to her reclusive life of forging—no photos, no interviews, using a pseudonym, never revealing a single clue.

And yet…

Why did that abandoned collar suddenly appear at her doorstep?

She said, "Long time no see, my Alpha." <<less

This was way out of hand. :)

In her past life, Yu Nanqing disguised herself as a man to take the imperial exams and became the top scholar, only to choose the wrong master and end up abandoned in the wilderness. Reborn before the exams, Yu Nanqing decisively accepted the imperial decree to marry the deposed crown prince, Xiao Qiling, as a "lucky bride" to ward off his misfortune. ... more>>

Rumors said the deposed crown prince had been poisoned years ago, afflicted with a madness that drove him to kill and drink blood when the toxin flared. On their wedding night, the sound of blades clashing outside sent Yu Nanqing fleeing—until she saw:

Corpses littered the courtyard, and Xiao Qiling stood with hair cascading over their shoulders, calmly removing their cloak to reveal a slender, unmistakably feminine figure.

The deposed crown prince… was a woman?!

Before Yu Nanqing could process the shock, those supposedly tender peach-blossom eyes turned sharply toward her, icy with disdain. Thinking fast, Yu Nanqing—her eyes reddened from the wind, shimmering like spring waters—stumbled forward, feigning weakness as she collapsed into Xiao Qiling’s arms: "I’m scared of pain… Could you bite a little gentler?"

Xiao Qiling: …?

From that day on, Yu Nanqing devoted all her talents to providing Xiao Qiling with "end-of-life care."

One day, she swore deep affection; the next, she vowed she could live for no one else. Taking advantage of Xiao Qiling’s supposedly imminent demise, she even dared to climb into the sickbed in sheer, gauzy robes, gazing tenderly as she offered to mourn her for the rest of her life.

But Yu Nanqing never expected that Xiao Qiling’s ascetic indifference was a lie—and her "impending death" even more so.

So when—

Xiao Qiling faked her death to escape, a brilliant new strategist joined her army, composing dazzling battle plans and deploying troops with godlike precision. Thrilled, Xiao Qiling decided to meet this prodigy in person.

Yet when the curtain lifted, the figure seated below bore an uncanny resemblance to that delicate, clingy little wife of hers who had done nothing but orbit around her back at the deposed crown prince’s residence.

No—not just similar. It was the same person!

Listening as Yu Nanqing gushed in that achingly familiar tone—"I’ve admired you for so long," "I could never serve another"—Xiao Qiling remembered all those sweet nothings from the past. With a cold smirk, she removed her mask.

Yu Nanqing’s voice died in her throat. She turned to flee.

Too late.

That night, blindfolded, Yu Nanqing shivered as the woman behind her coaxed in a honeyed whisper: "Be good, Qingqing… just one more bite.” <<less

Yan Wei hears on set that her Omega younger sister has brought a female Alpha home. She rushes back overnight, only to open the door the next morning and be enveloped in the arms of a beautiful Alpha who smells sweetly of milk.... more>>

With their pheromones perfectly matched, Yan Wei’s glands flare red-hot. Yet the girl in her arms seems completely unaware and sweetly calls her “Sister.”

From the first glance, Yan Wei knows: this girl is trouble.

…

Jiang Mi has always longed for a gentle big sister. As a child, she loved following her older neighbor-sister around. When that sister moved away, she was heartbroken for ages.

She never imagined that one day, she’d meet her again through a temporary stay—and even more shockingly, that her childhood crush turned out to be none other than her idol, the film queen Yan Wei!

In a rush of emotion, she sprains her ankle and throws herself into Yan Wei’s arms.

…

Yan Wei is a famously aloof and cold beauty, estranged from her family. Jiang Mi, eager to ease tensions between Yan Wei and her family—and even more eager to make her idol feel at home—slowly gets closer. She treats her with care, showers her with affection, and practically worships her.

But Yan Wei remains indifferent, rarely offering even a smile. After the two finish filming a movie together, Jiang Mi, worried she’s become too much, quietly pulls away.

Until—

She lands another dual-female-lead drama. There’s a kiss scene, and with no experience, she nervously goes to Yan Wei for advice.

The door opens, and she’s suddenly pinned to the sofa by an Omega in heat.

Yan Wei leans close to her ear with a featherlight laugh:

“You really asked me to teach you that kind of scene? You’ve got guts.”

It’s only then Jiang Mi realizes:

So much for ‘cold and abstinent’—this woman’s a total maniac!

…

Extra Drama:

Jiang Mi ends up trending online in a CP (couple pairing) with her co-star from the drama.

That night, Yan Wei locks up her Alpha, ties her hands, gently offers her neck, and whispers:

“Be good. Mark me, and I’ll let you go.” <<less

Xu Ling switched from modeling to acting just so she could have some connection with Qin Cong’an.... more>>

But a widely known “secret” in the industry nearly shattered her spirit—Qin Cong’an was allegedly in a secret relationship with a top male celebrity.

Xu Ling’s half-dead heart suddenly reignited the moment she received a script with Qin Cong’an as her co-lead in a dual-female-lead film.

Straight girl? So what?

Xu Ling seduced Qin Cong’an into sleeping with her, under the pretense:

“Don’t you want to shoot better scenes? This is artistic dedication. Try it with me, then it’ll have tension.”

She had drunk a little too much and was speaking recklessly under the influence, but unexpectedly, Qin Cong’an turned out to be a very dedicated actress… and very committed in bed too.

Xu Ling pretended not to know Qin Cong’an had a boyfriend, but deep down, she always knew she was the third party. Even as she indulged in the pleasure again and again, she loathed herself more with each time.

After filming wrapped, at the celebration banquet, Xu Ling got completely wasted and decided she wouldn’t contact Qin Cong’an anymore. It was just too painful.

She woke up in the middle of the night and called her, saying, “It’s finally over.”

On the other end of the line, Qin Cong’an stayed silent for a long time, before coldly replying:

“Get lost.”

But during the movie’s promo season, the two still had to meet, and even fake a couple for marketing—

Fans said:

“Why does this feel like a post-divorce vibe? I’m obsessed! This tension isn’t fake—they must’ve had something going on!”

The AnLing couple (An = Cong’an, Ling = Xu Ling) became an overnight hit, so much so that Xu Ling, terrified, immediately agreed to the company’s next move—staging a fake romance with a male celebrity.

Photos of the two on a late-night walk on Nanshan were deliberately leaked by the paparazzi.

Heartbroken CP fans sobbed:

“Alright then, we’ll rename the ship to AnLing (安陵 = funeral), may it rest in peace.”

That night, Xu Ling scrolled through fan-edited videos of their couple moments, watching Qin Cong’an sneak glances at her during promotions. She thought Qin really was dedicated—even now she’s silently selling the ship.

Then—ding dong.

Xu Ling stood frozen at the door for a while before opening it.

Qin Cong’an grabbed her by the chin, pinned her against the door, and said through clenched teeth:

“Xu Ling, I thought you at least had some feelings for me. Turns out you were really doing it for some s*upid art? But after everything we did, how can you still like a guy like that? Huh?”

Xu Ling: ?!! <<less

Zhou Tian fell in love with Wen Mingzhi at first sight.... more>>

In the hazy, dim lighting of a lounge, Wen Mingzhi sat in a booth wearing a black spaghetti strap dress, her long black hair cascading down, adding to her sensual allure. With elegant fingers holding a cigarette and the other hand cradling a wine glass, she raised her smoky eyes slowly—cool and alluring.

Just one glance, and Zhou Tian fell—hard.

Zhou Tian had intended to ask for her contact info, but the beauty pulled her into an embrace and marked her during her heat.

From that day on, Zhou Tian relentlessly pursued Wen Mingzhi.

Even though their status gap was enormous…

Even though Wen Mingzhi was hot and cold—gentle when she needed something, dismissive when she didn’t…

Zhou Tian was still willing to be her tool for easing through heat cycles—and enjoyed it.

Until one day, Wen Mingzhi shattered all her fantasies with her cold, practical words:

“Isn’t this arrangement fine? I support you. Our pheromones are very compatible.”

“You’re just an A-rank Alpha—a mediocre singer. My future wife will only be an S-rank Alpha, someone of equal status.”

“Zhou Tian, I’m getting engaged.”

At that moment, Zhou Tian’s heart finally broke.

She ended things with Wen Mingzhi and disappeared from her world.

While healing on a remote island, a song Zhou Tian wrote suddenly went viral. She was invited onto a show—only to run into Wen Mingzhi as the first person she saw.

Her eyes slightly red, Wen Mingzhi pressed forward, pulling her into an embrace:

“Zhou Tian, love doesn’t work like that. You can’t just say you love and then stop loving. It’s not that simple.”

Zhou Tian met her misty eyes head-on:

“You never loved me.”

Wen Mingzhi replied:

“When did I say I didn’t?”

“You were the one who seduced me first.”

“You’re not allowed to leave me.”

Her quiet voice, tinged with sobs, betrayed her pain. <<less

Luo Yunye transmigrated into a novel—right into the role of a scheming substitute Alpha bride.... more>>

In the original story, the heiress of the Qin family, Qin Yiwan, ends up in a coma after a car accident. The woman who was supposed to marry her was Luo Yunye’s older sister—she refuses to be stuck in a loveless marriage caring for a “vegetable” woman  and backs out. So Luo Yunye steps in to marry Qin Yiwan instead.

The original Luo Yunye was ruthless. She quickly took control of the Qin family’s wealth, hooked up with her lover right under Qin Yiwan’s nose in the hospital, and even tried to slowly poison Qin Yiwan to death—so she could legally inherit the estate and marry her beloved.

But fate had other plans. Qin Yiwan woke up. Not only that—she gathered evidence of Luo Yunye’s crimes and handed it all over to the police, sending her straight to prison.

That’s when this Luo Yunye arrived.

Standing beside the hospital bed, she gazed at the beautiful woman lying unconscious and gently traced her delicate cheek. This stunning beauty… is my wife?

From that day forward, Luo Yunye devoted herself to caring for Qin Yiwan. She entered her dreams to slowly pull her out of the shadows of her tragic past, standing by her side through every significant moment, teaching her how to love—and how to heal.

Luo Yunye waited eagerly for the day Qin Yiwan would finally wake up.

But when she did, the first words out of her mouth were icy and calm:

“Thank you for taking care of me. But we’re not right for each other. Let’s get a divorce.”

Luo Yunye tried everything to save their relationship. But in the end, she failed.

Realizing the person before her was no longer the one she had fallen in love with, Luo Yunye accepted the divorce papers, took a generous sum of money, and walked away to live her own carefree life.

Later on, when Qin Yiwan saw Luo Yunye with someone else, all she could do was watch with red-rimmed eyes, her heart aching.

And then, every day, she started sending flowers.

Every night, she stood outside Luo Yunye’s apartment—just to catch a glimpse of her from afar.

Story Summary:... more>>

Crazy yandere wolfdog construction foreman (Zheng Ling · Top) × Icy aloof goddess-like actress (Shu Xuan · Bottom)

In this setting, if you're 25 and still unmarried, the government will assign you a partner.

Zheng Ling never expected that as a mere construction foreman, she'd be assigned a celebrity!

That woman was devastatingly beautiful. Everyone said she was cold, emotionless, and untouchable—like a god descended to earth, indifferent to mortals. Anyone who got involved with her was destined to suffer.

On their wedding night, the superstar tossed a document onto the bed.

“Ten Rules of Marriage”

1. No gossiping about Shu Xuan in front of others.

2. No getting angry—Shu Xuan comes first in all matters.

...

8. No getting in bed!

9. No getting in bed!

10. No getting in bed!

Zheng Ling tucked the contract into her pocket and grinned, “Alright, whatever the wife says goes.”

One week after marriage:

Zheng Ling overhears crude remarks about Shu Xuan's photo at the construction site. She charges in like a mad dog and punches the guy without hesitation.

One month after marriage:

Zheng Ling waits at home for her wife. When Shu Xuan doesn’t return, she storms off to the film set, only to discover Shu Xuan was framed.

Without a word, she hoists Shu Xuan over her shoulder and carries her home. Later, she quietly collects evidence and sends the culprit straight to jail.

One year after marriage:

Zheng Ling sneaks into bed. Her calloused fingers roam boldly over the silky fabric of Shu Xuan’s pajamas, making her flustered. But then Zheng Ling mutters, “Forget it... there’s the ‘Ten Rules’.”

Shu Xuan snuggles up, whimpering sweetly with teary eyes full of affection and shakes her head.

Zheng Ling: “You’re the one who made the rules, remember?”

Later, the two are photographed vacationing in Santorini. Zheng Ling is the first to spot the paparazzi. She immediately pulls Shu Xuan into her arms and whispers something into her ear. Shu Xuan instantly blushes, while Zheng Ling shoots a fierce glare at the camera.

Bystanders: “Damn! That look! I’m obsessed!”

Fans: “They’re a real couple! I’m shipping them!”

Anti-fans: “I’ve changed my mind—I want to be Zheng Ling’s wife too! She gives off insane protective energy T_T”

That night, the entire internet blew up with people wanting to marry Zheng Ling.

Shu Xuan posted a rare Weibo update:

"She’s mine." <<less

Synopsis:... more>>

Tang Li transmigrates into a popular GL novel set in the flower market universe—as a cannon fodder.

The original host was born into a good family but was seen as a lazy waste by her relatives. She was gorgeous but vicious, pretending to be sweet and innocent to trick the female lead into marriage. After marrying her, she cheated with other Omegas and even drugged and imprisoned the FL.

In their three-year marriage, the FL suffered terribly under her hand, until she eventually transformed herself and met her true destined partner, leaving the original host to die miserably in prison.

Tang Li arrives at a pivotal moment in the plot.

Facing the flushed, drugged Omega on the bed, she knocks them out cold… then hides in the next room—only to be grabbed by the heat-struck female lead. What follows is an entire night of blindfolded “games.”

The next morning, the beauty lying beside her has skin like snow, misty almond eyes full of longing, and an alluring scent like a misty tea mountain.

Such a female lead is doomed to become the target of countless Alphas and suffer indignities.

Staring into those hazy almond eyes, Tang Li’s heart softens. She resolves to protect the FL until the “real” male lead arrives.

...

Qin Shiyang, heir to the Qin family, suffers from a rare toxin that makes her heat periods painful and unbearable.

After that fateful night with Tang Li, the effects are miraculously relieved. She becomes hooked—and offers a three-year marriage contract, assuming Tang Li will gratefully accept.

To her surprise, the next second, the woman snuggles up, her cheek nuzzling against hers like a cat, eyes sparkling:

“Don’t worry. From now on, I’ve got your back.”

Qin Shiyang: “?”

...

Tang Li has a secret.

She’s actually a cat spirit, and during estrus, parts of her true form—ears, tail—emerge.

Her halfway-picked-up wife takes full advantage of this, playing with her ears and tail, bullying her until she curls up with her tail tip in her mouth, confused and dazed.

Tang Li always thought her wife was a pitiful sweetheart.

So she worked hard, determined to earn money and take care of her little “Yangyang.”

But reality starts going off script.

The professor who belittled her is quickly fired.

The colleague who stole her design returns it in panic.

Even the canon beauty Omega who hated her and sent her to prison is now blushing and handing her a love letter.

Eventually, Tang Li finds her seemingly fragile wife lounging in a CEO chair, dismissing the bankrupting rival company with a few icy words and a tilt of her crimson lips.

It hits her: her soft, sweet wife is actually a full-blown hidden boss villain.

After realizing she’s protected the wrong person all along, Tang Li panics and runs away.

...

Qin Shiyang is the cold and ruthless Omega heir of the Qin family, feared across the industry.

But backstage at a press event, a server accidentally witnesses a shocking scene—

The aloof and icy President Qin is nestled in a young Alpha’s arms, clinging to her neck, eyes watery, voice soft and aggrieved:

“Can you not leave me for someone else?”

Tang Li, who looks calm on the outside but is dying inside: “We’re really not close. Sniff.” <<less

Qin Chuan suspected this female subordinate of having ulterior motives, trying to climb the ladder by cozying up through useless moves.

To him, the most charming woman was his master in an online game—quiet, skilled, and a true gaming pro.

Bo He, on the other hand, thought her boss had a personality problem—handsome and wealthy, yes, but also prejudiced, convinced that 99% of women had hidden agendas.

In her eyes, her in-game disciple was far more endearing—pure, easy to tease, a total noob but earnest and respectful, and always so sweet to his master.

Until one day…

After the Emperor’s passing, history books later referred to him as the “Saint Ruler of the Renaissance” due to the Taichang Reforms. The mother of Li Ying, Consort Jiang, who had once been a palace maid, ascended to the position of Imperial Concubine, and eventually Empress, and later even crowned herself Emperor, alongside the Taichang Emperor, as two Saints. Everything they achieved was rooted in the early death of their beloved daughter, Li Ying.

Thirty years later, during a prosperous and peaceful era, while the people mourned the untimely death of the princess, they also found solace in the fact that her death had brought about so many changes. However, the soul of the young princess, still lingering in the mortal realm, appeared wearing the green silk gown she had worn when she drowned. Her face, preserved at the age of sixteen, with its delicate beauty, found the infamous and ruthless Minister of Affairs, Cui Xun, who was plagued by countless illnesses.
