A genius schemer, creating an emperor!... more>>

“Only when your brother is happy can you be happy.”

She committed all kinds of evil deeds to make him Emperor. However, Artezia’s devotion was repaid with betrayal. It was the Grand Duke Cedric, a righteous enemy, that gave her a hand of salvation at the threshold of death.

“Devise a plan.”
“…”
“I can’t think of anyone but you who can reverse this situation. Marquess Rosan.”
“…”
“Lend me your strength.”

There is no plan that can reverse the already declining power and save the fallen empire. However, there is a method. To turn back time before everything went wrong.

With tears of blood she sacrificed her body to an ancient magic. This time, she will not fall.

Artezia, who returned to the age of 18 before death, resolved to become a villainess for the Grand Duke Cedric.

“Please give me your hand in marriage. I’ll make you emperor.”

In exchange for kneeling to the devil, the devil shall dirty her hands for you. <<less

Xu Zhaixing’s idol, Cen Feng, was a new star, slowly rising in the entertainment circle. She firmly believed that everyone would see the brilliance of her idol one day. But she could no longer wait for the day to arrive…... more>>

Cen Feng had committed su*cide at home because of depression. It was only after his death that the injustices he had suffered had been revealed to the public.

It turned out that he was an adopted orphan, and his biological father was actually a mu*derer.

It turned out that the reason he never touched the piano again was that his little finger was intentionally trampled by his teammates.

It turned out that the team was harassing him, and he offended a higher-up company, resulting in resources being divided.

It turned out that the treasure, which she had been so afraid to hold on to her palm in fear of breaking it, had been trampled on, had been beaten black and blue…

Six months later, Xu Zhaixing died in a car accident, only to be reborn as a high school student. She was just a freshman that year.

It was ten years before Cen Feng committed su*cide.

I’m going to use these ten years to build the best road just for you. All those who hurt you will never appear in front of you. Brother, let’s walk the flowery road together this time. <<less

Ye Mu knew that Yan Chen didn’t love him, but he always simply thought that accompanying him meant declaring one’s love in the long run.... more>>

For eight whole years, he had been revolving around Yan Chen’s world, believing that he could just keep going like this.

But when Gu Huai came back, everything changed.

Yan Chen dumped him, the reason his whole family’s property went bankrupt, and his father suffered a heart attack in a fit of anger.

He was in a tight spot, he was deeply hurt and under despair decided to give up. In the end, he went to another company and shed his last ounce of strength to work. He unexpectedly met his boss, Chen Mo, who hated gay men the most. A lot of interesting things happened between the two.

Yan Chen had always been disgusted and irritated by Ye Mu, thinking that he was just a cheap person. After breaking up with Ye Mu, he decided to marry Gu Huai. But after marriage, he always remembered every little detail of being with Ye Mu, and felt that he must have been too disgusted with this person.

He started to look for Ye Mu time after time, and Ye Mu always refused. Yan Chen felt that it was nothing, this was merely another cheap trick of the other party by playing hard to get.

But one day, when he found out that Ye Mu no longer loved him and was with Chen Mo, Yan Chen felt strange.

Why did he feel so tight in his chest? Why did he feel so angry?

Then things became very awkward (ˉ▽￣～) <<less

Except for runaway espers.

Runaway espers, due to their unstable metrics, are like ticking time bombs that could go on a rampage again at any moment.

And he has come to be matched with a runaway esper.

“From now on, I will be your matching guide, Joo-hyun. Please take care of me.”

Once celebrated as a war hero, now a guide bearing scars from past injuries, Kang Hajung.... more>>

Just a day before his discharge, Hajung is assigned to guide a new recruit, Kim Moohyuk, who has been rushed into the center.

“…If he doesn’t receive guidance, Kim Moohyuk will die.”

Hajung saved him simply because he couldn’t let him die, but in doing so, he found himself irrevocably tied to Moohyuk, an extraordinarily high-ranking Esper unlike any in history.

His long-awaited retirement slips out of reach, and to make matters worse, he’s designated as the pair guide for the much younger Moohyuk. Then, one day, he’s sent on a mission and meets his end, shot dead.

With a regretful thought of not making it to retirement before his death, he opens his eyes to an unfamiliar reflection—a stranger holding his own cheek, in complete shock.

Despite the chaos, Hajung quickly revives his long-deferred dream of retirement…

Jiang Shouyan, seeking solace, traveled to Lisbon where he encountered a mixed-race man.... more>>

Wild, free-spirited, and in great shape.

He dragged his surfboard to Jiang Shouyan, who was sunbathing on the beach, and said in perfect Mandarin: “Chinese?”

Jiang Shouyan later learned that he was his landlord.

Cheng Zaiye’s property was exclusively rented to Chinese tourists and was always stocked with wine and fresh egg tarts.

It was simply because he once had a chance encounter with a Chinese man outside a pastry shop. A few short meetings, yet the image remained etched in his mind for six years.

Later, he would return to Lisbon for a few months every year. Until the seventh year of summer, when he came ashore from the cool sea like previous years and with an accidental glance, caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

He was slightly thinner and taller than he remembered, his eyes more languid.

He walked over slowly, his heart beating like a drum, yet his voice remained calm as he asked, “Chinese?”

The moment Jiang Shouyan raised his eyes, no summer was more brilliant than that seventh year.

Jiang Wu is a wandering soul who has roamed the earth for a thousand years. One day, he finds himself in a body, reincarnated as a historically infamous and deposed emperor who was beheaded after a coup.... more>>

Jiang Wu: Hmm...

Being an emperor, a position he finds nightmarish, Jiang Wu, with his depressed outlook on life, just wants to hand over the throne and quickly return to his ghostly state.

To speed up the rebellion of the Yin family, he summons the Yin family's eldest son to the palace to serve him. Immediately, the court is filled with outrage, and the Yin family almost storms the palace to skin him alive.

That night, Jiang Wu lazily demands humiliating tasks from the fiercely glaring Yin Wuzhi: "Hold me, feed me, and lull me to sleep."

Finished, he sends Yin Wuzhi off to review documents.

The next day, the humiliation continues: "Hold me, push me on a swing, lift me up high."

Finished, he sends Yin Wuzhi off to review documents.

On the third day, the demands escalate: "Hold me, kiss me, and squat down to listen to what I have to say."

Yin Wuzhi, staring at the lazy, slumped figure on the couch: .....

This is too much!!!

If this Laozi doesn't kill you, I won't be called Yin Wuzhi!!!

Jiang Chen travels to a fantasy novel world and becomes the villainous senior brother.... more>>

He didn’t have any golden finger (cheat) and didn’t want to end up as villainous cannon fodder, so he repeated nine reincarnation cycles, only aiming to be an upright senior brother.

Yet fate is unjust, bestowing upon him the aura of a villain, causing him to suffer countless misunderstandings and disdain.

Until the ‘Tenth Life’!

In this life, Jiang Chen gave up. His heart grew cold, and he also finally let himself go.

Jiang Chen: “Since heaven wants me to be a villain, why should I defy it?”

After a seven-year-long relationship, just as Shen Yu and Cheng Mofei were about to get married, Shen Yu was diagnosed with terminal cancer.... more>>

In the final moments, lying on the hospital bed, his once-proud and strong lover held his hand tightly, crying uncontrollably.

When Shen Yu opened his eyes again, he traveled back twelve years to the year he turned eighteen, just after finishing the college entrance exams.

Given a second chance at life, Shen Yu decided on two goals:

1. Take care of his health.

2. Live a good life with Cheng Mofei.

Shen Yu resolutely filled out his college application to Cheng Mofei's former university, packed his belongings, and headed alone to the northern city where they had spent seven years together.

The first time they met was at the freshman reception. Cheng Mofei was being confessed to by a junior, but his face showed clear disdain as he said, "I'm straight, I’m not interested in men."

Shen Yu: "?"

He distinctly remembered it was Cheng Mofei who had made the first move on him.

The second time they met was in their dorm room. Shen Yu had used a few connections to become Cheng Mofei's roommate.

Cheng Mofei threw an arm around his shoulders in a familiar way, leaned into his neck to sniff for a long moment, and asked, "Brother, what did you put on? It smells good."

Shen Yu replied with the name of a body wash brand.

It was Cheng Mofei's favorite body wash—the same one that bore witness to countless passionate moments they shared in the bathroom.

The next day, an identical bottle of body wash appeared in their dorm bathroom.

The third time they met was in the campus clinic. An athletic student had been harassing the pretty freshman, Shen Yu.

Cheng Mofei strode up, shielding Shen Yu behind him, his gaze icy as he said, “My brother is a straight man. Take your filthy thoughts elsewhere.”

Shen Yu: “…” Actually, he wasn’t.

While Shen Yu was torn over how to bend the still-closeted Cheng Mofei, Cheng Mofei seemed to be unknowingly courting him every day.

“Shen Yu and I hit it right away. We’ll definitely be good brothers for life.”

“What’s wrong with good brothers sharing a bed?”

“Good brothers should shower together.”

“We straight guys don’t care about stuff like that, do we?”

Shen Yu: “…”

—

Later, Cheng Mofei began to notice a few peculiarities about his “good brother.”

He realized Shen Yu seemed to have someone special in his heart. His phone password was a date—one that turned out to be their future anniversary.

He even muttered someone’s nickname in his sleep. And all this time, the body wash he had been using was the exact scent loved by that mysterious someone.

And… that "someone" seemed to be a man!

Cheng Mofei was completely floored.

On the anniversary from his previous life, Shen Yu had dressed up carefully and bought Cheng Mofei’s favorite small cake, hoping to celebrate this special day with him in this lifetime.

But as soon as he opened the dorm door, he was pinned against the wall.

The familiar fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose as Cheng Mofei, gritting his teeth, said: “You’re not allowed to be with some wild man.”

Shen Yu: “?” <<less

In the 23rd year of the Longfeng reign, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace had been deposed for five years. Once a figure of otherworldly grace, he was banished to the imperial mausoleum, crushed under endless humiliation. That same year, the Emperor, blinded by the pursuit of immortality, let the West Bureau eunuchs seize power. At the helm was Xue Shu, the Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau-a man whose influence eclipsed the court, silencing opposition with a single wave of his hand.... more>>

Even the throne itself danced to his tune. Princes grovelled and schemed, desperate to curry favor, hoping he would elevate them to the imperial seat. But no one could've guessed that Xue Shu would one day retrieve the deposed Crown Prince from exile and personally help him ascend to the throne.

The once untouchable, iron-fisted eunuch, who held the empire in his grasp, willingly knelt at the feet of the resplendent new Emperor, offering himself as nothing more than a footstool.

On the eve of the enthronement ceremony, Yin Chengyu bathed and burned incense. The infamous Nine Thousand Years (Jiuqian Sui) cradled the imperial robes in his arms, personally dressing the future Emperor.

In the full-length bronze mirror, the scarlet-robed Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau wrapped his arms around the Emperor-to-be, lowering his head to breathe in his scent, his voice a husky whisper laced with a mocking smile: "Your Majesty has finally achieved your ambitions. Might you grant me the chance to fulfill mine?"

But it was all a dream.

Yin Chengyu woke, yanked from the memories of his past life. It was the 17th year of Longfeng. He was still the noble and untouchable Crown Prince. His mother's family had yet to be slaughtered, and he hadn't been confined to the mausoleum, isolated and helpless. There was still a chance to change his fate-by roping in that scheming eunuch and wagering everything on one final, desperate gamble.

Then he met Xue Shu again. <<less
