After a night’s sleep, the world is shrouded in strange black fog, animals and plants mutate, and the apocalypse descends and puts everyone in danger!... more>>

Shen Yi activates the Infinite Supplies System: one bottle of mineral water per second, with no limit to how much it can increase!

One bottle per second, over 80,000 bottles a day, there’s simply no way to finish them!

Moreover, as long as Shen Yi takes in Goddesses who meet the criteria, he can unlock new types of supplies, and the quantities stack infinitely!

Unlock mineral water, beverages, self-heating hot pots, beef, lamb, rice, white flour...

Superpower fruits, pistols, rifles, submachine guns, tanks, planes, the missiles...

“Apocalypse? Bring it on!” Shen Yi said, looking at his endlessly stacking supplies. <<less

【Time Travel + Workplace Competition + No Lazing Around + Ambitious Female Lead】... more>>

Overachiever Shen Wei traveled through time and found herself as the lowest-ranking maid in the grand residence of the Yan Prince.

The Yan Prince held a prestigious position, but his consorts were all content to live dull lives. The noble-born princess consort was as tranquil as a chrysanthemum; the concubine sought a life of monogamy; the reincarnated woman was utterly disillusioned with the Yan Prince and had given up on striving for anything; and the other timid concubines dared not make a move...

The queen of workplace competition, Shen Wei, declared: Don't stop me! I'm going to outwork these unambitious slackers!

...

The Yan Prince had grown accustomed to the stagnant atmosphere in his harem, until a particularly skilled courtesan appeared.

This concubine was stunningly beautiful, adept at both literature and dance, hardworking, and always brought him fresh excitement. The Prince couldn't help but take a second, then a lifetime-long, look at her.

Years later, Shen Wei became the all-powerful Imperial Noble Consort, with children and the emperor's exclusive favor.

Meanwhile, the princess consort remained as tranquil as ever; the concubine was aging and had yet to experience a monogamous life; and the reincarnated woman was still eating simple meals in her modest abode...

After half a lifetime of striving, Shen Wei finally reached retirement and revealed her true nature, fully embracing a life of leisure. The retired emperor interjected: "You competed for favor just to retire?"

Shen Wei snacked on melon seeds: "What else?"

Living is all about retirement!

The retired emperor was even more surprised to find, in midlife, that other men were vying for his wife's affections! <<less

[Invincible] [Super Cool Story] ... more>>

Chen Xuan, the Holy Son of the Grand Righteous Sword Sect, sacrificed himself to protect the Jade Maiden Peak for the sake of his master and senior sisters. He detonated his 9th Grade Golden Core and became a cripple.

But he never expected that this was all part of a grand conspiracy against him…

Facing the betrayal of his fiancée, the vicious schemes of his junior disciple, and the ruthless cruelty of his master and senior sisters—

Chen Xuan, who was expelled from the sect, let out a cold laugh, “You will regret this.”

Then, in front of everyone, he activated the True Dragon Heart and cultivated the supreme inheritance, forging the Supreme Yang Divine Dragon Body!

From that day on, Chen Xuan, accompanied by countless beauties, embarked on an invincible path, crushing all the prodigies throughout the ages!

The beautiful master begged, “Good disciple, your master knows she was wrong. Please, come back.”

The senior sisters cried, “Junior brother, come back quickly! We all long to be your women.”

Chen Xuan sneered, “In the past, after driving me out of the sect, you even tried to kill me completely. Today, I will make your entire sect build graves for themselves.” <<less

Zhou Tong was framed by his junior brother and misunderstood by his master and senior sisters. In anger, he left the sect and joined a new faction instead!... more>>

At that moment, he opened the door to a brighter world.

A seductive and domineering demoness constantly tried to attack, hoping to make Zhou Tong surrender to her charm.

The second junior sister, unparalleled in swordsmanship, was illiterate but surprisingly skilled at writing love letters.

The third junior sister, a money-lover, willingly entrusted Zhou Tong with her secret stash of gold.

The most captivating of all was his stunning new master. She was actually…

…

As Zhou Tong’s new sect flourished and grew stronger, his former master and senior sisters wept with regret.

“Dear disciple, I was wrong. Please come back to me. I’m willing to do anything to make it up to you.”

“Yes, junior brother! Let us belong to you!”

Zhou Tong: “I’m a man of great ambition. How could I stoop to such disgrace? Get lost!” <<less

Jiang Heng lived a carefree life until he was eighteen, when he was suddenly informed that he was the fake young master in a switched-at-birth scenario. The pampered young master of the Jiang family instantly became an orphan with no one to rely on. Before he could recover from this news, an out-of-control truck overturned, crushing him on the spot and ending his life.... more>>

When he woke up again, he found that he had not only transmigrated to four years later, but had also become a stray cat.

A newly weaned, little over a month old, seriously ill kitten, one that could kick the bucket at any moment.

Jiang Heng held up his furry paw, bewildered in the wind, "..."

How can this meow live?

With no survival experience, after getting himself covered in dust and dirt, Jiang Heng, having learned his lesson through painful experience, decided to find a sucker – a human to scam.

So he snuck into the university he had applied to before his death.

He saw Lu Yichuan in the crowd, his childhood friend he grew up with.

The dirty little kitten darted out from the bushes, bumping into Lu Yichuan's shoes, then delicately fell to the ground, his intention to scam very obvious.

Lu Yichuan was about to leave, but when he saw the kitten's bright, star-like eyes, he paused, slowly squatted down, extended a fingertip and poked the kitten's forehead, his voice as gentle as always, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Meow~"

Top-tier meal ticket, activated!

****

Lu Yichuan, a second-year graduate student in the Philosophy Department of A University, is the university's recognized male god, with a reputation so good it's breathtaking.

He is gentle and reasonable, treating everyone with good temper, his words and actions impeccable.

Over the years, countless men and women have confessed their love to him, and he hasn't agreed to any of them.

Someone was curious about what kind of person he likes.

The man looked up at the sky, the sun dazzlingly painful to the eyes.

He smiled and said, "Someone like the sun, I guess."

It's just a pity that his sun sank to the bottom of the sea in his twentieth year.

Since then,

The world could no longer be illuminated by a single ray of light.

****

Jiang Heng felt that becoming Lu Yichuan's cat was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

The man never restricted his freedom, cat food was plentiful, canned food was readily available, and he could wander outside for days and nights without being noticed.

Until Lu Yichuan was suddenly hospitalized. When he woke up, he tied a red string around his neck, and everything changed.

The perpetually open window was shut tight, and the man, who often stayed out all night, now spent almost twenty-four hours a day in the dormitory.

If he felt stuffy, the man would take him for a walk. If he felt the dormitory was small, the man would take him to a large villa...

As long as he left Lu Yichuan's sight for more than ten minutes, the man could always pinpoint his location.

He held his favorite canned food in his hand, his eyes holding an unreadable darkness, "Rongrong, it's time to go home."

Jiang Heng: QAQ

He didn't want to go back either, but he had canned food! <<less

[Dog Food] [Regret] [Chasing Brother to the Crematorium] ... more>>

In his previous life, Qin Yi was a child lost from a prestigious family. He spent over ten years suffering ab*se outside, and even after being found and brought back, he was still neglected by his relatives.

The life that should have belonged to him was ruthlessly stolen by a substitute.

In the end, he died alone and tragically because of a surgery.

In this life, Qin Yi no longer held any hope for those so-called family members. He would rather die alone again than stay with them—he chose to leave.

And it was precisely this decision that led him to the most precious light in his life.

"Fool."

"They didn’t cherish you, but I will."

"Come home with me."

The woman wore a simple white dress. She gently held Qin Yi’s hand, a warm smile on her face—like an angel. <<less

Ruan An was a renowned beauty and female physician. In her previous life, she saved countless lives but died tragically from a stray arrow, without a peaceful ending.... more>>

The newly crowned emperor, who had usurped the throne, found her lifeless body and removed his dragon-patterned outer robe to cover her.

The emperor was tall and imposing, with a sinister and handsome appearance. He was also the young man she secretly admired in her past.

Due to their difference in status, Ruan An never mentioned to him that they had a son.

As she opened her eyes, Ruan An was reborn.

She didn’t want to repeat the mistakes of her previous life and only wished to return to her hometown with her young son. However, on her journey, their carriage was intercepted by someone.

At that time, Huo Pingxiao was the Marquis of Dingbei, holding military power. His expression was indifferent, but he looked at the child by Ruan An’s side with a bewildered expression.

The child bore an uncanny resemblance to him. <<less

He never expected that, in order to save her white moonlight, she would heartlessly use the child in her womb as a medicinal ingredient.

If a woman's heart can't be warmed, then it's time to let her go.

With a wave of his sleeve, Ning Que turned away with grace and decisiveness, leaving behind the divorce papers.

He inherited the title of prince and gathered his former subordinates.

Internally, he reformed the court to benefit the people. Externally, he launched campaigns south and north, unifying the entire divine continent.

He donned the imperial robe and ruled from above.

Lin Xianhong cried out, "I was wrong. I know I was wrong!"

Ning Que sneered coldly, "It’s not that you realize you were wrong—it’s that you realize you’re about to die." <<less

In my past life, I, Lu Chen, a disciple of the Profound Spirit , endured three hundred years in the Demonic Abyss. To protect the sect’s peace, I sacrificed my spiritual roots and severed my cultivation. Yet, I was despised by my fellow sect members, treated with cold disdain, and ultimately met a tragic end, perishing with deep hatred!... more>>

Now reborn, I decisively leave the sect. From this moment on, I am peerlessly invincible!

All sects rush to win me over, igniting a battle to recruit me!

As the truth gradually comes to light, the sect master is struck with deep remorse and leads the disciples to kneel, begging for my return.

"My good disciple, I was blind and foolish. Please… come back!"

Senior Sister: "Junior Brother, I was wrong. The one who was ungrateful and heartless was me!"

Little Junior Sister: "I deserve to die! Senior Brother, please give me a chance to atone for my sins!"

Now, as the Supreme Emperor, I narrow my eyes, my voice shaking the heavens—

"You want me to return to the sect? That will only happen when the sun and moon reverse, and rivers flow backward!"

The sect? I will never return!

My enemies? I will never save! <<less

Qin Yuan transmigrated into a novel and became the main villain. ... more>>

He also found himself as the devoted simp for the heroine of this world.

However, Qin Yuan decided to abandon the path of simping, as he knew exactly what the heroine was truly like, having full knowledge of the novel’s plot.

When the heroine told him, “I don’t like you,” he calmly agreed and canceled their engagement, one that had been arranged by his past self.

Who was he, after all? He was the Holy Son of the Heavenly Vault Holy Land, the Young Master of the Great Emperor’s Family!

He was exceptionally talented and undeniably handsome.

With all these blessings and multiple identities, why would he continue simping for a fake noble heroine? That was simply out of the question.

With the awakening of the Destiny Villain System, Qin Yuan embarked on a journey to seize the protagonist’s opportunities and torment the heroine relentlessly.

In the end, the protagonist realized that the heroine was useless and discarded her. It was only then that she regretted her choices and finally remembered Qin Yuan’s kindness.

“Qin Yuan, I realized that I still have feelings for you…”

“What? You want to enter my Human Emperor Banner?” <<less

“I want to have you.”... more>>

Life wasn’t particularly difficult, but it wasn’t fun either.

Among all the things I had been given or would ever be given, there was nothing I truly desired.

And yet, everything had already been perfectly decided —

Everything, except for that man.

“Whatever you do, just blame it on me.”

The man who barged into my tediously well-ordered life whispered like the devil.

“Say you couldn’t help it. Say it’s my fault you became like this.”

Among all the things I had, he was the only filthy, despicable thing. <<less

Jingzhe is a eunuch. But he’s just a fake eunuch.... more>>

It’s a secret.

Even more troubling is the secret that he hooked up with a palace guard.

The guard is beautiful but has a violent temper.

Of course, their relationship has a reason behind it.

Jing Chen was unlucky to get caught up in a strange system that assigned him impossible tasks.

Even worse, if the mission fails, there will be punishment!

What’s even more unfortunate is that when he failed for the first time, there was an unlucky guy who was rolled up beside him!

But… The unlucky guy looks pretty good.

Unfortunately, he has a bad temper.

Very bad!

*

Jingzhe didn’t know if he was dizzy or sick. Why did he cause such trouble for himself?

Maybe it’s because he looks good.

He is also very beautiful.

When he was dragged out of the cold palace and forced to his knees, blood stained his clothes.

Someone stepped in the sticky blood and pulled him up. When he raised his head to show his face —

The emperor, who looked exactly like the beautiful guard, stared at him expressionlessly.

A bloodstained hand stroked the side of his face. “What are you afraid of?

The emperor sniffed Jing Chen’s neck, and his damp, cold breath made people shiver.

“Don’t you like me?”

Jingzhe regretted it. If only he had known...

Friend: "If you had known, you wouldn't have messed around, right?"

Jingzhe: "...But he’s so beautiful!"

Friend: "You're hopeless." <<less

Lu Yunshuang Dreamed She Was the Villainous Cannon Fodder Unable to Achieve Love... more>>

Lu Yunshuang had dreamed that she was a villainous cannon fodder in a novel, desperately in love but unable to attain it. In this dream, she was the spoiled son of a general’s mansion, wholeheartedly infatuated with the female lead. However, she was schemed against by others and, along with the male lead’s sister, Princess Ji Qingyuan, ended up having a marital union. She was forced to marry Princess Ji Qingyuan.

After the marriage, she treated Ji Qingyuan with great indifference, only stepping into her courtyard once a month. As a result, Princess Ji Qingyuan was constantly ridiculed both within the Lu household and externally, with people saying that her husband did not value her. In the end, the male lead ascended to the throne by leveraging the Lu family’s power but retaliated by accusing the Lu family of treason and betrayal, leading to the extermination of nine clans.

Only her neglected wife dared to storm into the palace, kneeling in the cold autumn rain, pleading with her imperial brother to revoke the decree. She watched helplessly as Lu Yunshuang was executed. To avenge her, her wife poisoned the male lead’s wine, and they both drank the tainted alcohol. The male lead was saved by the imperial physicians, but Princess Ji Qingyuan perished in that cold, desolate autumn.

Lu Yunshuang and Ji Qingyuan became the despised villains in the novel…

Upon waking, Lu Yunshuang dismissed the dream as complete nonsense. After all, she was a woman—how could she harbor such feelings? And how could she have a marital union with the Fifth Princess?

Unexpectedly, upon opening her eyes, Lu Yunshuang saw the ethereal and beautiful Fifth Princess lying disheveled in her arms, tears still clinging to her feathered lashes, as if she had been bullied and had cried. Unfortunately, this was exactly the plot in the novel where they were about to be caught in an illicit affair.

Lu Yunshuang: !!!

Fortunately, she woke up early and no one saw the scene.

Due to this absurd dream and the novel’s plot, Lu Yunshuang began to pay attention to Ji Qingyuan. She noticed that Ji Qingyuan would often sneak glances at her, and when caught, would hurriedly avert her gaze. Despite being a princess, Ji Qingyuan did not have a happy life.

Gradually, Lu Yunshuang felt pity for her. She decided to protect Ji Qingyuan under her wings, marry her, and planned to arrange for her to leave and live a comfortable life when the opportunity arose.

However, as time passed, she realized she no longer wanted to let Ji Qingyuan go. <<less

【Soft Girl × Wild Young Master × 1V1】

The first time Xu Zhiqiao met Zhou Cong was in the Courtyard of her new home.

The man was lounging lazily in a rattan chair, legs crossed, drawling, “Such a cute little darling—call me Big Brother, let me hear it.”

Glimpsing the gleaming metal cuff on his ear, Xu Zhiqiao instinctively backed away, utterly terrified of this devilish man who stirred up chaos yet seemed capable of controlling everything.

That day, in the warmth of winter, she opened her door—and there he was, impossibly handsome, flashing a roguish grin:

“I lost my ID. Let me crash here for the night?”

She let him stay, and just like that, Xu Zhiqiao had herself a boyfriend.

Until one day, hiding behind a row of potted plants, she overheard Zhou Cong’s amused voice:

“It was just a fling. Honestly, I’d rather not have met her.”

—

Everyone knew the Zhou family’s Young Master was raising a delicate flower. He gave her money, power, time—treating her like a rare gem, not letting a single outsider lay eyes on her.

Then one day, that delicate flower disappeared.

And the Young Master of the Zhou family lost his mind.

Later, at a grand banquet, with all eyes watching, Zhou Cong dropped to one knee. He used his sleeve to gently wipe the dirt off the girl’s crystal shoe, his voice trembling as he pleaded,

“Come back to me.”

The girl coldly turned away, her dainty shoe kicking his hand aside.

Zhou Cong grabbed her wrist and pressed it to his chest, his voice hoarse,

“If you want payback, shoot me in the heart—just don’t ignore me.”

Years later, their child bragged proudly to playmates,

“My mommy hunted my daddy down like prey!”

Zhou Cong scowled,

“Nonsense. It was Daddy pestering Mommy to death that finally won her over.” <<less

Hou Mo stared back and sneered: Quite the Helen of Troy isn’t he – pretty enough to start wars over, and has quite the temper. Forget about being the most handsome guy in the school, you can be the school belle.

Sui Houyu had a manic mood disorder and severe insomnia but found that as long as he was close to Hou Mo, he could fall asleep. From then on, Hou Mo had an additional little grumpy monster by his side.

After winning a doubles tennis match, the partners who then would arrange to duel/fight against one another on the rooftop, could only be Sui Houyu and Hou Mo. After their teammates found out about the matter, they were filled with anxiety.

After some time, Sui Houyu returned with his lips were slightly swollen, and the corners of his mouth bruised, causing everyone to be furious with Hou Mo on his behalf.

When Hou Mo returned to the class, he had tooth marks on his throat and had lost two buttons on the top of his shirt. He quickly explained to Sui Houyu: “I really didn’t smile at any girls while we were playing. That’s just how my face looks.”

Everyone can disperse now…

Interviewer: Please use four words to describe what you think about him?
