The Crown Prince is dead, and the Great Xuan Dynasty is in turmoil.... more>>

The rebel army is at the gates.

To stabilize the situation and uncover the cause of death of her twin elder brother, Zhao Yan, Princess Changfeng, has no choice but to disguise herself as a man and take on the role of the Eastern Palace Crown Prince, facing the wind and shedding blood.

On the night she enters the Eastern Palace, the Empress repeatedly admonishes her, “As the only prince of a different surname in this dynasty, the cunning Prince Su has controlled the court and the military for many years. His ambitious nature must not be underestimated!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan feels like she’s walking on thin ice every day, her heart pounding.

Until one day, Zhao Yan is ambushed.

When she wakes up, everything is chaotic, and there, the powerful Prince Su, with his disheveled hair and half-dressed attire, looks at her with his dangerously handsome and slightly raised eyes.

This is bad!

Zhao Yan’s mind goes blank, and she turns to run.

In the next moment, her sash is caught.

Prince Su sneers and his voice carries a hint of displeasure, “Running away so soon, isn’t that improper?”

“The Little Crown Prince” with ink-black hair scattered and a pale face stammers, “I… I’m going to review the memorials.”

“Sure.”

The man leisurely hooks her hair strands, his voice low and hoarse, “As the Crown Prince reads memorials, I shall read the Crown Prince.”

——–

People used to say that the naturally rebellious and unruly Prince Su has changed his ways, no longer causing trouble or rebellion, but instead assisting the Crown Prince. He stays overnight in the Eastern Palace every day and even shares a bed with the Crown Prince.

Who would have thought that one day, it would be revealed that the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace is actually a girl disguised as a boy, causing turmoil in the court.

The whole court is in an uproar, and everyone speculates that Prince Su will seize this opportunity to overthrow the imperial power and take over.

However, during the court interrogation, Prince Su, draped in a black cloak, bows in front of the civil and military officials, reaching out to hold the delicate fingertips of the young girl.

“Don’t be afraid, let’s move forward.”

His voice is stern yet reassuring, as he calmly states, “If anyone dares to speak ill, I’ll kill them; if heaven obstructs, I’ll defy it.” <<less

Liang Xiao, a 17th-tier actor, debuted for five years, but he was not very popular.

Then, because he was frequently spotted entering and leaving the villa of Xingguan Entertainment’s president, he became an overnight sensation across the internet.

Inside the bedroom of the villa, Liang Xiao lay on the pillow, freshly showered, completely focused on playing a mobile game.

"President, have you finished biting? Once you're done, I’m clocking out."

2.

As the president of Xingguan Entertainment, Huo Lan had a secret.

He was a rare and mutated type Alpha. To maintain stability and avoid losing control of his pheromones—which could endanger his life—he needed regular marking by a compatible Omega.

President Huo had no interest in Omegas. On the first day they met, he coldly pushed a bank card and contract in front of Liang Xiao:

"Let’s get what we each need. Don’t get any ideas you shouldn’t have."

Liang Xiao diligently let himself get bitten, steadily took the money, and peacefully continued playing his games.

Until one day, he skyrocketed to fame in a major production funded by Xingguan Entertainment.

Facing overwhelming rumors of being a "kept man," Liang Xiao rushed home, dug out the contract, and prepared to ask the president to help clear his name.

Huo Lan’s gaze darkened. He took the contract, and in front of countless cameras and microphones, crumpled it into a ball before pulling Liang Xiao back into his arms.

“Don’t panic.”

Liang Xiao, pressed against the wall with a hand gripping his waist, calmly hugged President Huo, who had buried his face in his neck. Turning steadily to his manager, he said,

“He’s clearing my name right now.”

The manager lost his mind.

My name is Yan, and since I was a child, I've been able to see some strange things.... more>>

For example—

In elementary school, our new neighbor Aunt Tan had a pair of all-around genius twins, who were like the "precious little geniuses" with halos above their heads. They could recite the English-Chinese dictionary backwards at three, master both Chinese and Western musical instruments by five, and hack into a country's database by seven...

Growing up next to such prodigies, my life was inhumane, tragic, and constantly subjected to comparisons.

To escape the comparisons with these "other people's children," I specifically applied to a private boarding school for middle school.

On my first day, my deskmate was a small, thin girl with bangs, wearing an old uniform, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's.

Three months later, she woke up from a nap with a "rebirth" halo above her head.

She moved effortlessly among the cold academic genius, the wolf-like school bully, the fierce boss, and the gentle childhood friend, leaving me, a lonely onlooker, utterly amazed.

By university, I thought I had finally escaped this abnormal world.

But as soon as I stepped into my dorm room, my footsteps froze.

My roommates each had halos like "ancient times to modern," "post-apocalyptic superhuman," "will die if not spending money," and "ghost king revival."

I clutched my little blanket and applied to the counselor for a room change, but to no avail.

Over time, I gradually got used to it. "Handover systems," "management systems," "book transmigration," "infinite worlds," "three-and-a-half-year-olds," "interstellar live streams," "red envelope groups"...

The types of halos kept increasing, and I was able to calmly ignore all of it, focusing on my own life.

Every morning, I skillfully helped my "ancient to modern" roommate, who was being blacklisted online, dodge campus paparazzi and secure seats for class.

At noon, I assisted my tycoon roommate in distributing today's haul of luxury skincare and designer bags, tasting the city's top private chef's custom lunchbox, and exclaiming with emotion, "Darling, can I really accept these?"

In the evening, I enjoyed the flowers and plants cultivated by my superhuman roommate on the balcony, tasting a mutated cherry tomato and commenting, "I feel refreshed and purified."

Late at night, when my ghost king roommate quietly climbed back through the window, I peeked out to ask, "You're back a bit late today, didn't bring anything back, did you?"

My name is Yan, and I am not the protagonist of this world. <<less

An Jiu transmigrated into a wuxia novel, becoming the vicious female supporting character in “A Sword of Flying Frost.” She was also bound to a system that required her to conquer the second male lead in order to return home.... more>>

In the book, the second male lead, Pei Ji, was dressed in white like snow, gentle and refined, with extraordinary medical skills. However, he was a cripple, his meridians severed and his body poisoned. On the surface, he was a shining beacon of virtue, but behind the scenes, he had already turned into a black-hearted, crazy schemer. To obtain the secret manual of divine martial arts and cultivate unparalleled martial prowess, he calculated everything and manipulated everyone around him. Ultimately, Pei Ji was defeated by the protagonist, thanks to the author's favoritism.

Faced with such a daunting task, An Jiu initially refused. Could she conquer this intelligent villain? However, she soon discovered that the second male lead, the big villain, seemed to be trying to conquer her!

Miss An: This task seems like it might be able to be salvaged after all?

….

Reborn into this life, Pei Ji felt he had the upper hand. He hid himself even deeper, plotting everything. This time, he would never end up in the same situation as his previous life.

Everything was going according to plan, except for one thing: the spoiled, willful, and detestable woman.

Due to unavoidable circumstances, Pei Ji had to disguise his identity and deliberately seduce her into falling in love with him. He treated her with gentle affection, catering to her every whim. He saved her from danger several times, displaying a passionate devotion.

But why, after she had enjoyed his kindness, did she tell him with a guilty expression that she had fallen for someone else? He wouldn't allow it!

He threatened her, humiliated her, and wanted to kill all the men around her. He desperately tried to find that other man, intending to kill him in front of her.

In the end, she looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, “The person I love has always been you.” <<less

One day after I endured the hellish days of being a nameless extra that was abandoned by my parents, the people who attacked the orphanage took me to the Imperial Palace.... more>>

“Every day, at least ten minutes or more hold the prince's hand, but on the days of classes, please hold at least twenty minutes."

Then a man called the Emperor suddenly sees me and asks me to hold the hand of a prince who would grow up as a cruel tyrant in the future.

I thought I would maintain a thorough business-like relationship with the Crown Prince in order to prevent the death of the tyrant who was struggling in war.

"Your Majesty, I will retire in 3 years"

**Crack**

The teacup in Cedric's hand shattered, unable to withstand the terrifying grip.

“Yes, Cie? I'm sorry, but I didn't hear that well."

It seems like this crazy tyrant has no intention of letting me go

"The doctor said that it was not enough to hold hands anymore."

What? It could happen, but why are you in my bed?

"He said that we should spend a night together."

Hey! Your Majesty, didn't the doctor say that I just need to hold your hand? <<less

A woman in her forties (unmarried, history buff) is reincarnated after the classic truck accident.... more>>

At first, she thought it would be an easy life since she was reborn into a noble zaibatsu family, but as she recalled her memories, she realized this world might actually be a recreation of an otome game she knew well.

On top of that, the body she reincarnated into was that of the classic ‘Villainess’.

And even if she weren’t a ‘Villainess’, if history continues on its course, Japan will lose the war, and as a noble zaibatsu family, her household will be doomed to destruction. <<less

With the decline of the six ancient divine clans and the rise of humanity, the continent was plunged into endless strife and shifting power. Amidst the chaos and suffering of this turbulent era, an unknown knight rose to prominence. After more than two decades of relentless warfare, he brought an end to the age of discord... more>>

He slew the cruel tyrant, shielded the young imperial princess as she ascended the throne, yet was ultimately stripped of his authority.

He saved the elven princess, defended the sacred lands of the elves from the ravages of war, yet faced exclusion and disdain from the very people he protected.

He aided the Fox Empress of Kyushu in purging corrupt officials and securing her reign, only to be betrayed in return.

He helped a fox-dancer from the Sakura Tribe escape her lowly status and assisted her in becoming a high-ranking official, only to be used and discarded as a stepping stone.

He cleansed the kingdom of a heretical cult’s corruption, only to be burdened with false accusations.

Gazing upon this flourishing continent that no longer needed him, the knight silently withdrew, his duty fulfilled. Gratitude was never what he sought. The world was at peace, his purpose achieved.

No longer young, he drew his sword and struck at an opponent he could never defeat, marking the final note of his life’s symphony.

Yet death did not claim him. The fox bloodline within him saved his life, though at the cost of his gender. Forced into a new identity, she resolved to leave her knightly past behind and live quietly as an ordinary person.

Unbeknownst to her, the empresses and princesses who once held complex feelings for him now drowned in regret upon hearing news of his "death"... <<less

I transmigrated into a novel, becoming the villain.... more>>

After dozens of attempts, I failed each time and couldn’t return to the real world.

Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger.

Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything.

Female Lead #1: “Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist’s opportunities. I just want to get stronger.”

Female Lead #2: “I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos.”

Female Lead #3: “What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?”

…

It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same?

Qin Shiwu grew up listening to his parents’ love stories from an early age.... more>>

He learned that his mother was known as a beautiful, gentle and virtuous Omega at school.

He learned that his father was known as a talented and courteous scholar Alpha.

Rumor has it that when they were in high school, they fell in love at first sight, became a harmonious couple and never had a single quarrel.

Once he transmigrated, he went sixteen years back to the time when his parents were still in high school and became a little fool who was bullied by everyone.

Who will tell him——

This person who grabbed him by the neck and shoved him to the ground! The super as*hole school bully who can’t get 100 points in all nine subjects is his father?!

That cold, unfeeling, kaolin flower, iceberg person, the most alpha Alpha in the whole school whom no one dares approach within a 500-mile radius is his mother???

Wait, mom! Were you so wild when you were young? You’re pretending to be an alpha!

“Didn’t I tell you? Everything you ever wanted—... more>>

I will take it all for myself.”

I possessed the body of a villainess who’s fated to die first at the hands of the yandere seme in a R-rated BL novel.

The mad dog pretended to be the duke’s loyal hound, only to bite his master’s throat and eventually devour the entire house.

“Nothing is permitted to you, my lady. Not unless I allow it.”

Originally, I was doomed to lose everything to him and die miserably.

Because the first person to die by the mad dog's hand was me.

But then—

when I handed over everything he wanted…

“And now… you’re saying you’ll leave me?”

The mad dog refused to let me go.

* * *

I thought maybe he was like this because

he never got together with the original uke in the novel.

So to set things right, I tried to bring him together with the Queen Beast.

“Why are you being so nice to me?”

I treated the Queen Beast with desperate kindness.

“You’re really strange, you know?”

We grew close, and I planned to link the Queen Beast with the mad dog—

But neither showed the slightest interest in each other.

“Don’t you want me?”

The Queen Beast grew strangely irritable.

“My lady, did you dare try to run from me?”

And the mad dog… he became even more insane.

“Do you really think I’ll give up on you—no, on my master—just like this?”

The moment I saw the tears in his crazed eyes, my blood ran cold.

“If you insist on this… then I have no choice but to lock you away too.”

He brought the same chains he used to bind the Queen Beast—for me.

“Now, you can’t go anywhere… without my permission.”

Ah. <<less

Honest and dull laborer top x Sensitive and meek dumpling shop little boss bottom... more>>

Yan Xu had always been a marginal figure in the family since he was young. His mom doesn't love him, his brother doesn't care about him, and his stepdad treated him as an outsider.

On his birthday, his mom told him to come home for a meal, and even told him to pick up the cake she ordered at the dessert shop.

Yan Xu was immensely happy; this was the first time in over twenty years that his mom remembered his birthday and celebrated it for him.

Yan Xu hurried home full of expectation, but found out that he was being too sentimental and misunderstood. The meal was to celebrate his older stepbrother, Fang Jincheng, return. The cake was also prepared for him.

He awkwardly and embarrassingly returned to his little shop, but saw that someone was waiting at the store entrance.

This man was called Chi Ye. He was an ironworker at a nearby construction site. He comes to this shop to eat dumplings every now and then.

So, he invited Chi Ye inside for dumplings. He also told him that today was his birthday and wanted him to wish him a happy birthday.

Unexpectedly, he received a birthday present from Chi Ye the next day. The other party wore frayed nylon gloves when he handed the present over to him.

This gift from an outsider made Yan Xu, who had never been loved, felt flattered. It also became an opportunity for the two to become familiar with each other.

Not long after, he completely cut ties with his family, hiding in the corner and wiping away his tears silently. Chi Ye hugged him, saying, "Since they don't love you, I will."

Since then, an outsider became a loved one, and Chi Ye became his lover.

But Su Yunjing. He ended up doing it three times and always beside the same yandere.

The first time, he was eight years old, and the yandere was seven.

Su Yunjing walked up to him and said, “I want to be your friend!”

Fu Hanzhou, with his tiny milk voice, coldly replied, “I don’t need friends.”

Su Yunjing: …It turns out that yandere was cool when he was young.

*

The second time, Su Yunjing transmigrated back in again. They were both teenagers.

Su Yunjing, ever the enthusiastic one, asked, “Wanna share a bed tonight?”

Fu Hanzhou ignored him and lay down with his back to him.

Just as Su Yunjing, disheartened by the failed attempt at bonding, was about to leave, the person on the bed suddenly shifted.

Su Yunjing: …So now the cool yandere evolved into a tsundere?

*

The third time he transmigrated, the adult yandere became a top star in the entertainment industry, while he became a nobody, an 18th-tier actor.

An 18- tier got cornered right outside the dressing room by a big star.

“Long time no see. How does it feel, leaving me behind twice?”

Fu Hanzhou spoke, his voice soft and sweet, as if it had been dipped in honey, but his eyes were filled with barely contained fury and madness.

Jiang Lou can't hear out of his left ear, the result of a fight with three middle school students when he was ten years old.... more>>

At the time, with blood covering his face, he was sent to the hospital. The doctor asked where his guardian was, and he recalled the woman who had given birth to him, who at that moment was accompanying another child to a piano lesson.

That child also called her "Mom."

Eight years later, Jiang Lou attended No.1 High School in Xucheng, earning scholarships, with X in the parent fields on his student information form.

One day after school, he saw the new transfer student from his class cornered by a few hoodlums on the side of the road.

The transfer student was frightened pale, hunching his shoulders tightly against the wall, looking comical yet pitiful.

Jiang Lou watched from afar, his heart unmoved, feeling no pleasure in revenge.

Jiang Lou intervened and rescued the transfer student.

Two days later, Li Tang blocked him in the stairwell during a break. Amidst the noisy surroundings, Jiang Lou had to turn his head, using his right ear to listen to Li Tang's gratitude.

This allowed Li Tang to easily notice that Jiang Lou's profile was even more attractive than his front view, seeming to seek a kiss when he moved closer.

During a winter camp later on, Li Tang sneaked into Jiang Lou's room, embracing him from behind, eyes red as he asked, "Why did you save me back then?"

Facing away from Li Tang, the dark night outside reflected in Jiang Lou's eyes as he coldly said, "I didn't want to see you bullied by others."

"...Others?"

"Mm."

I want all your pain to be caused by me. <<less
