Driven by circumstances and with no other choice, Qiu Cheng could only find himself a sponsor.... more>>

He was clever from a young age, resilient, and extremely perceptive.

In the end, he found a man that others wouldn’t even dare to consider.

Ever since Qiu Cheng met Mu Xingtian, his debts were paid off, he had the money to treat his relatives’ illnesses, and the troublesome harassers around him disappeared.

He even started filming dramas and participating in variety shows, gaining access to various resources, and those resources only got better and better.

Onlookers secretly gritted their teeth, feeling that Qiu Cheng definitely wouldn’t have it good for long; once that man got tired of him, he would be cast back to his original state.

Little did they know, what Qiu Cheng and that man were playing at was genuine sincerity.

Xu Ji was informed that he was to be betrothed to someone—a person with fair, beautiful skin, as well as a lovely smile.... more>>

Xu Ji’s parents were thrilled with his soon-to-be son-in-law, who they praised for his appearances, and his family-orientedness. Shyly bowing his head, Li Ting thanked them.

But Xu Ji hated good kids like him. His face devoid of all expression, he told him, “The relationship between us is nothing but a business marriage. You do your thing, and I’ll do mine.”

Li Ting’s tone of voice sank in that instant. “Okay.”

Despite that, there would be warm food and a made bed waiting for Xu Ji whenever he arrived home, together with a beautiful wife who would tenderly greet him saying, “You’re back.”

If it weren’t for the chance encounter at the party——

Li Ting, all decked out in a silverish grey suit, had a little beauty propped up on his leg. He was exhaling rings of smoke even more adeptly than he could.

Seeming dissatisfied, Li Ting clicked his tongue softly as he grabbed the little beauty’s hair and gave it a tug.

Xu Ji: “…...”

He wasn’t in fact surprised to see him either. Instead, he lifted an eyebrow lackadaisically, saying to the people beside him, “Look, my hubby’s here.”

Eventually, things took an unexpected turn, and the two got into bed together. Xu Ji patted Li Ting’s face and said, “Be good. I won’t hurt you.”

Li Ting’s moist eyes squinted as he rubbed his own cheek against Xu Ji’s hand.

Xu Ji was so satisfied that he couldn’t even react in time when his wife suddenly flipped him over.

A curseword emerged from his lips. He then used all his strength in an effort to flip him back over——but he couldn’t lift him at all!

A beautiful smile emerged on Li Ting’s countenance as he pressed down on Xu Ji, saying, “You do your thing, and I’ll do you.”

When he next awoke, Xu Ji calmly expressed his wish for a divorce. The smile on Li Ting’s face froze in that instant. <<less

【Military Marriage + Transmigration + Space + Revenge + Slow-Burn Romance + A Physically Gifted Officer Husband vs. A Stunning Capitalist Heiress】... more>>

Jiang Si was born with fair skin and striking beauty, radiant and captivating. But one day, she woke up to find herself transmigrated into the world of a period novel, becoming the infamous capitalist heiress of Shanghai.

In the original story, she despised her taciturn and unromantic officer fiancé and dreaded the harsh, resource-scarce life on a remote island, so she stubbornly refused to honor their marriage arrangement.

Little did she know, when the storm of political upheaval arrived, her scheming father and stepmother would first manipulate her into being sent to the countryside, then flee to Hong Kong with the family’s century-old fortune in tow.

Left to suffer alone in the rural backwaters, her health deteriorated within two short years.

But Jiang Si, armed with knowledge of the plot, had no intention of enduring such misery.

They wanted to exile her to the countryside? Fine! She turned the tables, packing off the entire pack of ungrateful relatives to the remote southwest instead.

A mountain of family assets with nowhere to stash them? No problem! After a drop of blood awakened her ancestral space, she swept up all the gold, silver, property deeds, antiques, and paintings—leaving not even a chicken feather behind for them!

No place for a capitalist heiress in the new society? Think again! Jiang Si sent a telegram straight to the military island. Though she braced herself for a life of hardship, she soon discovered that island life wasn’t nearly as tough as she’d imagined.

Her officer husband was not only a man of action but also a master in the kitchen, and his family doted on her beyond measure.

Life with him? Sweeter than honey! <<less

'If only things could stay just like this.'

However, Nelie's modest wish faded when her father collapsed, and she headed to Tevant, the city of arts, to study and revive the fallen family business.

"My wallet!"

"Haha! Thanks for the easy money, Miss!"

But life in the city, where people would take advantage of any weakness, wasn't easy. After losing her tuition money, Nelie ends up working at a gossip newspaper that publishes sensational articles.

Then, while living such a harsh life, she accidentally crosses paths with the beautiful Duke of Tevant.

A drawing of the Duke that Nelie sketched out of curiosity unknowingly transforms into an obscene caricature and appears in the gossip paper.

"Shall we start with spreading false information?"

"What?"

"If you drew someone in such an absurd way, you must take responsibility."

Nelie faces the crisis of being charged with defamation overnight, and the Duke visits her. Things couldn't get any worse. Nelie makes an impulsive gamble.

"Well, Your Grace has a beautiful face, so... so your body must be good too."

"And?"

"Na-naturally, that part must be, too."

"Then let's check."

"...Pardon?"

"Let's check and if it's not true…"

Xia Weile was diagnosed with poor internal development, making it difficult for him to conceive, a discovery made during a marital health check.... more>>

Despite Jin Ze having no particular desire for children, the continuous pressure from both sets of parents was relentless after the couple’s marriage, which was as passionate as their courtship.

After seven years of marriage without conceiving a child, Xia Weile grew tired and weary. Even though he loved Jin Ze, he couldn’t bear the external pressure anymore, nor the guilt of not being able to provide his partner with a complete family.

“Do you really want a divorce?” The alpha’s face was frosty, his deep voice holding back anger.

Xia Weile remained unmoved: “Yes.”

Jin Ze locked him in a room for a day and a night, trying every trick in the book to change Xia Weile’s mind to no avail.

They sat in the civil affairs office, signed the papers, received their certificate, and ended their seven-year marriage.

A month later, Xia Weile fainted in a swimming pool and was rushed to the hospital. When he woke up, he heard the doctor’s diagnosis:

FTM is an experimental boy band created by Shengyao Media Company. The chief planner impulsively finalized the lineup, leading to a hasty debut, earning them the nickname “the most amateurish team in history.”... more>>

After their debut, FTM remained lukewarm in popularity—until a variety show changed everything. During a relay race segment, Fu Fei, the youngest member, slipped and fell.

At that moment, the five members were standing in a line. Fu Fei's fall caused a domino effect, knocking over Tan Junwen, Tang Che, Fang Yinnian, and Mo Xun in succession. Like falling dominoes, all five ended up in a heap on the ground. Fu Fei, the culprit, instantly became a living meme with his exaggerated “shocked and broken” expression.

#How can someone cause such a big mess?

#Dragging your teammates down with you!

This hilarious incident went viral and trended on social media, skyrocketing FTM’s popularity.

Sharp-eyed fans noticed that during the fall, lead vocalist Fang Yinnian landed perfectly in captain Mo Xun’s arms. With their ideal height and skin tone contrast, the two staring at each other created an unexpectedly harmonious scene.

Thus, the hashtag #MoFangHeavenlyPair quietly emerged online.

A dance leader x lead vocalist pairing? Too good to resist—this time it might actually be real!

...

Initially thought to be a comedic group gaining fame through mishaps, fans were stunned to discover:

- Lead vocalist Fang Yinnian has a vocal range spanning three octaves and can effortlessly hit challenging high notes?

- Captain Mo Xun has been dancing since childhood, wowing audiences with his performances and even winning international awards?

- Rapper Tan Junwen is fluent in both Chinese and English rap styles?

- Tang Che plays so many instruments that fans lost count?

- And troublemaker Fu Fei? He’s an all-rounder who consistently ranked first during trainee evaluations?

Wait—you’re not just a comedy troupe? This is actually a top-tier powerhouse group!

...

Five boys with vastly different personalities unexpectedly form a boy band. From being an obscure and overlooked group to becoming a household name as the ultimate dream team. From initial rejection and unfamiliarity to becoming family who trust, rely on each other, and walk forward together side by side.

"In this chaotic world, I will be your most steadfast support."

One day he went bankrupt, and his parents passed away.... more>>

Cheng Yue absolutely hated the man who suddenly appeared to adopt him.

But out of necessity, he had to live under someone else’s roof with his tail between his legs.

He even had to agree to three rules:

No swearing.

Fine. He could hold it in.

No going to nightclubs.

That works. He didn’t have any money anyway.

No dating girls.

Sure. He didn’t like girls anyway.

He tolerated all of this.

What Cheng Yue didn’t expect was that the man, who always wore a cold expression, was actually a weirdo.

“This pink dress is for you,” the man said, maintaining his cold demeanor.

“……”

“I don’t like…” Cheng Yue hadn’t finished his sentence.

“Don’t like this color?” The man furrowed his brows and pulled out another one from behind him.

Bai Feng transmigrated—and he has a younger sister born with Immortal Bones.... more>>

He initially thought that as long as he clung tightly to his sister’s thigh, he could live a carefree life in this perilous world of cultivation. Until he woke up one day to discover that his mother was preparing to extract his sister’s Immortal Bones and implant them into him.

Only then did he realize he was holding the villain script!

Right at that moment, the System appeared. As long as he targeted any Child of Destiny and seized the Child of Destiny’s providence value, he could receive generous rewards.

At the same time, however, if he plundered too much providence, it would draw the Child of Destiny’s wariness—or even outright hostility.

Looking at the three Children of Destiny in this single city, Bai Feng decided—forget it!

Whoever wants to be the villain can go ahead; there are already three Children of Destiny in this one city alone. He didn’t even dare imagine how many Children of Destiny might exist across the entire world.

So, when the sects were recruiting disciples, he avoided that sect full of Children of Destiny. He also steered clear of those professions they frequented. Every day, he would just draw some ecchi arts, listen to music, and do whatever he felt like.

Many years later, Tianji Tower had the opportunity to interview some Children of Destiny who were close to Bai Feng, asking them for their thoughts on him:

Child of Destiny A: “No one understands Bai Feng better than I do. He’s nothing like the rumours that claim he coveted the Immortal Bones out of selfishness. On the contrary, he has no interest in Immortal Bones and has secretly been protecting his sister all this time.”

Child of Destiny B: “Many people call me a Child of Destiny, someone fated by the heavens. But in my opinion, Brother Bai is the true favored son of heaven. He’s warmhearted and upright, walking the path of immortality with an ordinary body.”

Meanwhile, Bai Feng, who was watching this interview, slowly tapped out a ‘？’

They’re slandering me!

And you bunch of Children of Destiny—stay away from me! <<less

In 1933, the city of Beiping was China’s busiest city, bustling with noise and excitement. However, its liveliness was unlike that of any other place: it came not from the wine-drinking and pleasure-seeking masses in brothels, nor from the ten-miles long markets filled to the brim with foreigners. Rather, it was a one of a kind type of noisiness, beautiful and elegant. The high-pitched singing of kunqu, jingju and qinqiang; the beating of the dagu and the clacking of the bangzi; the clear, loud voices of storytellers narrating the rise and fall of dynasties – each and every traditional art one can think of could be found here, mixed together to create the theatrical world’s... more>> most glorious stage.

This was also the place where the opera world’s most outstanding performer, Shang Xirui, reached his full glory.

An invitation to a home celebration, a face-to-face meeting – this was how Cheng Fengtai, the second master of the Cheng family, got to know the famous opera actor who seemed to only exist in rumors and legends. He plucked the red plum blossom hairpin from the lapel of Shang Xirui’s changshan and smiled, inserting it in the lapel of his own three-piece suit.

In the blink of an eye, they found themselves in the Palace of Eternal Youth.

Shang Xirui sang, “Come, come, come, I’ll accompany Second Master.”

Cheng Fengtai replied, “As long as you want me to, I’ll always accompany you.”

These two people, who grew close because of an opera, also professed their feelings to one another as though enacting lines on a stage.

Later, a distinguished scholar and casanova would narrate their tale in a perfunctory manner: “Today, dear listeners, I bring you a story. Pay close attention, lest you fall behind and fail to understand clearly what I’m about to tell you. Dear listeners, without further ado, this is Winter Begonia.” <<less

“As a fine arts student, you must know the male body well.”... more>>

With a low mocking tone, the croquis book fell to the floor. His intense eyes bore into the woman in front of him. Her slender face turned pale like a blank canvas, then flushed red again.

"What do you mean…"

"Ms. Song Seorin, you don't have the money to pay off your debt, right?"

Unlike the frozen Seorin, Taejeong slowly examined her trembling face.

His pale-colored eyes flickered like a candle in the wind. His slightly pouted lips, which could easily be gripped with one hand, and his chin both vibrated incessantly.

“So let’s do this, then.”

Taejeong, who had let out a brief laugh at the absurdity, lifted the bottle again. Even as he poured into the glass, his cynical gaze never left Song Seorin.

“Until the debt’s all paid off, either your legs day and night in front of pig bstards old enough to be your father—”

This time, her neat front teeth bit down on her lower lip. She looked as if, with the slightest touch, she would burst into tears like a balloon pricked by a needle. He found her peach-tinted face oddly pleasing.

A large hand, knuckles thick with bone, picked up the glass. Taejeong pressed the cold glass to his straight lips and parted them slightly. The cruelty he had hidden behind his ridge-like smile surged along the prominent line of his Adam’s apple.

“Or crawl under me.”

He wanted to leave his footprints on the woman as pure as newly fallen snow. <<less

In just three years, Su Ling and Lin Feng went from being deeply in love to growing distant after their marriage.... more>>

When Su Ling received a call from his hometown urging him to return and inherit the ancestral home, he made the decision to pack his belongings and leave his disillusioning marriage and the bustling city behind.

Driven by the desire for self-sustainability, he took up a hoe and ventured into the fields to grow vegetables. Unbeknownst to him, his family’s ten-acre plot of land gradually transformed into a bountiful expanse of crops.

Eh?

Wasn’t this a tad bit too much? Since there were more vegetables than he could possibly eat, let’s live stream and sell them!

Surprisingly, the live stream’s popularity took an unprecedented leap, causing the vegetables to be sold out in no time. To add to the mystery, a fan base appeared out of nowhere?

At first, viewers entered a live stream with low expectations, anticipating nothing more than a mundane display of someone hawking vegetables. Just when they were about to express their criticism, their jaws dropped in utter astonishment the moment they laid eyes upon the streamer’s face…

Holy cow, holy cow, holy cow, holy cow!!!

Where did this stunningly handsome cutie come from?! TT^TT Someone save me! Why is a guy as good-looking as this one live streaming to sell vegetables here???

And so it continued…

Fan 1: The white cabbage from this cutie’s farm is refreshingly crisp and tastes amazing! Hope there’s more for sale next time!

Fan 2: We’re willing to send you gifts, Cutie, so please do more live streams! TT^TT

Fan 3: I’ve never been a fan of cucumbers, but ever since I tried the ones grown by this cutie, I can’t imagine a meal without them! (By the way, I could drool over Cutie’s face for a lifetime!) TT^TT

……

After returning from his business trip abroad, Lin Feng was greeted with a seemingly ransacked house and a slew of items missing. Amidst the mess, the sight of Su Ling’s divorce papers hit him like a ton of bricks, draining all color from his face.

Why did his wife decide he no longer wanted him after he left on a business trip?

In a mad frenzy, he feverishly sought any clues, only to be met with nothing!

One day, the assistant rushed over with a phone in hand, eager to show him a viral live stream featuring a farmer selling his agricultural products. Lin Feng’s astonishment knew no bounds when he realized that the handsome and graceful young man, clad in a white t-shirt and sporting a straw hat while holding a large cabbage, was none other than his missing wife!

Lin Feng raced through the winding roads toward the countryside, determined to bring Su Ling back with him.

With his pants rolled up and a hoe in hand, Su Ling proudly pointed toward the lush green fields and countered defiantly, “After all the sweat and toil I’ve poured into building this, why should I give it up?”

Lin Feng: “…”

Synopsis:... more>>

Shu Qingwan and Rong Yin once shared a past.

But she knew the gap between them was too wide, and there could be no happy ending.

When rumors spread that his first love had returned to the country, she let go and walked away.

After returning to China, as a highly popular inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, it was revealed that she was the star of the viral cheongsam video from years ago.

With her jade-like grace and delicate waist, exuding both elegance and allure, Shu Qingwan’s popularity skyrocketed.

During an interview, when asked about her past relationship, she didn’t avoid the topic, simply smiling and saying, "He taught me to let go of obsession and understand the impermanence of life."

That day, he was there in person, watching her speak every word.

She had stayed by his side for many years.

But what he had truly taught her was to embrace desire, to crave deeply.

Synopsis 2:

Shu Qingwan was the long-lost daughter of the Lin family. After being found, her parents, feeling deeply indebted to her, treated her like a precious treasure.

Seeing their son go from one relationship to another while their daughter remained single, they arranged a blind date for her.

The suitor, having passed her parents’ scrutiny, was naturally exceptional.

She thought there was no harm in giving it a try.

But just as she made up her mind, Rong Yin suddenly appeared, saying to her, "Long time no see."

The man, noble and aloof yet radiating an overwhelming presence, disrupted the scene, revealing his possessive and domineering nature in that moment.

The rose he had nurtured with his own hands could only bloom for him.

【Mini Theater】

Rong Yin was famously known for his ascetic and cold demeanor. He owned a secluded mountain villa where he would often stay for months at a time, as his friends well knew.

But suddenly, rumors began to spread that his mountain villa held a secret.

He wasn’t there to cultivate his mind—he was hiding his beloved white moonlight!

As the rumors grew, his friends became increasingly curious and finally decided to investigate while he was away.

The plan went smoothly, and they successfully infiltrated the villa.

What they didn’t expect was that their nighttime exploration wouldn’t uncover a white moonlight, but rather someone who had mysteriously disappeared for days—

Seeing the figure in a flowing dress running downstairs barefoot, someone exclaimed in shock, "Qingwan?!"

Rong Yin had seen her at her most devoted, loving him deeply.

He had also seen her indifference when she said, "Mr. Rong, I will always have to marry someday."

"I saw flames rise from a lonely mountain."

Later.

She became his unconditional love.

Yuan Wan Shu’s life before 18 was meticulously planned out for her. She was a tool in her “parents’” palm. Even her character traits were controlled.... more>>

She was forced to uphold the perfect persona that her “parents” have created for her. Every day she told herself to keep enduring it while lying in bed. Bear with it a bit and it’ll be over, then you can be your real self again.

Just as she was preparing for college, Yuan Wan Shu’s family told her she had a fiancé.

Ah?? Why didn’t she know?

Her family said it was a childhood engagement so they won’t force it. If after interacting a bit and they aren’t a good fit then let it be.

As to how they’ll interact…

At the start of college, her mother used the excuse of her being in a foreign place to study makes it hard to look after her and conveniently packed her up and sent her into her never-before-seen boyfriend’s house.

Zhou Yan Qian was working overtime and came home at 10 PM. He opened the door and saw the fiancé that his parents mentioned. Reportedly, she is a very obedient, nice kid with little bravery.

He took off his suit, sat to side and said, “Hello, I am Zhou Yan Qian. My apologies allow me to say this in advance. I don’t plan on getting married.”

On a bitterly cold winter night, the man who appeared showed no mercy.... more>>

A groan escaped her lips. Her pulled-back head tilted sharply.

Under the crushing grip so strong it felt as though her scalp might be torn, she could utter nothing but a short scream.

“Answer me.”

Her vision was completely obscured, and the flow of air around her twisted unnaturally.

When the terrified woman fumbled, unable to find where to look, he firmly held her head in place with one hand.

On her knees, Ha-yoon rubbed her head against the edge of his thigh and blinked as she looked up at Moo-geon.

“Why don’t you do the thing you’re good at?”

With a gulp, Ha-yoon held back her tears and asked.

“Why… why won’t you cut it for me?”

Instead of answering, Moo-geon rubbed the back of her head with his large hand. Then he abruptly pulled her closer. It only took a moment for her head to be shoved between his legs.

“Ah, the debt my father owes…”

“Yes. Because of your father’s debt, I…”

Moo-geon tilted Ha-yoon’s head back with the hand holding her.

Partially crouching on one knee to meet her gaze, he leaned in close and whispered into her ear.

“I bought your misfortune.” <<less

She didn't think it had anything to do with her, an extra NPC.

Until she found their faces trapped in her paintings.

If she stays silent, she'll be accused of being a witch for imprisoning them and playing games with them, and she'll be executed.

Doing what she can to save them, she walks into the painting.......

"I never once thought of you as a friend."

"I was...... looking forward to seeing you again."

"I wanted to make you my wife."

"Honey, didn't you miss me?"

As the memories of a past that didn't exist before returned, she became horribly entangled with the male leads.

Why are they all doing this to me?

Just then, a white square window flashed before Pandora's eyes.

▶ Do you want to open Pandora's jar?

Maybe she...... opened something she shouldn't have.

"Good morning, Miss Pandora."

The story of Pandora, who is loved by five men, and Pandora herself, with her strong scent of paint.

The male leads...... they’re trapped inside my painting! <<less

"Was there ever a single moment when you were sincere with me?"... more>>

Adrian Leicester.

The person I had loved secretly for so long.

Golden hair as warm as sunlight, gentle light-green eyes that reflected his kind nature.

A handsome face with a mischievous charm like any other boy.

His large and reassuring embrace that made my heart race every time we touched.

"I’m engaged to Ayla."

As the original male lead, he naturally ended up with the original female lead, Ayla.

So, when I found out I was pregnant after a one-night mistake,

I faked my death and left.

I thought it was a flawless plan.

Until he found me five years later.

"I found you, Isha."

His indifferent golden eyes were as cold as ice.

His languid, sticky gaze clung to my face.

My eyes met Rian’s unreadable ones in the air.

With predatory eyes, he seemed like a beast ready to bare his fangs at any moment.

It felt like I was being devoured just by his gaze.

"Why do you look at an old friend like that?"

He let out a small laugh.

But the corners of Rian’s eyes were red, as if starved.

His fingertips dug deeper into my wrist, like shackles.

His tired face had an air of decadence and provocation.

So different from the Rian of the past.

"Don’t worry. You’ll love me again. And you won’t be able to run away anymore."

The last thing I heard before I lost consciousness was—

"Isha, I love you."

A love confession drenched in madness.
