Si Lan is the great demon king, but he is more known for his ‘wife-exterminating’ reputation than anything else.... more>>

The first time he was married, on the way to the wedding reception, a violent storm raged, and the bride was blown away and left dead on a tree, darn it!?

The second time he married, right after drinking his wedding toast, his bride had a severe alcohol allergy, vomiting uncontrollably before rolling her eyes back and passing away, what?!

The third time he married, he was armed with the experience from the previous two marriages and immediately entered the bridal chamber, only to find out that his bride had encountered a heavenly thunder calamity and exploded, what the heck!?

Since then, the demon king’s consecutive ‘wife-death’ incidents have become known throughout the six realms.

Every time the marriage rate in the demon realm plummets and couples are at odds, the demon palace only has to release the news that the demon king is looking for a new consort. As a result, the young eligible demon realm girls will suddenly get engaged one after another. Even widows get a second chance at marriage (not with the demon king of course) and the demon realm becomes peaceful.

As the main character, the demon king, after a hundred years of being single, couldn’t help but go to a fortune teller to divine his marital fate.

The fortune teller, holding a turtle shell, frowned, feeling that the situation was not simple. “You are destined to have only male partners. If you marry a woman, you will certainly doom her to a fate of inescapable death.”

“…,” the demon king thought, “The demon realm is open-minded, and same-s*x relationships are not uncommon.”

He had tens of thousands of brave and skilled soldiers, and twelve exceptionally handsome demon generals. Finding a male partner shouldn’t be difficult. As soon as he turned to speak, the brave soldiers and the twelve exceptionally handsome demon generals behind him scattered like birds and beasts.

Fortunately, his loyal but leg-impaired right-hand man didn’t leave.

The demon king, deeply moved, grasped his right-hand man’s hand. “I knew you were the best.”

“No, Your Majesty, you stepped on my clothes.”

“Oh.” The demon king moved his foot, and when he looked up again, he saw his right-hand man, who had been crippled for over a hundred years, carrying his wheelchair and running away on his legs.

“…”

Excerpt from the preface of 『Holy Sword Legend』.

My childhood friend, Magali was chosen as a saint.

From now on, it seems that she has to keep smiling to everyone in the capital, and has to live in a terrifyingly strict world that has things like manners and dance.

We’ve been together since birth. As expected, there is something left in my mind.

While feeling a little lonely… I held down my childhood friend who no matter what was trying to escape and turned her over to the knight who came to pick her up.

「Alistaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!」

I could hear a resentful voice, but that was probably my imagination.

I was taken along to the capital to see her off as a last struggle… but, it ended without any problems.

「Now, I’m going home. Good luck ^^」

I turned my back to my childhood friend who looked at me with resentful eyes. And when I was on my way home… I was being chased by goblins.

「Noooooooo!! Someone help meeeeeeeeeee!!」

This is a misunderstood legend of a hero and saint with the worst personalities that’re pulling each other’s leg while pursuing a happy life. <<less

Iris is known as the “Icy Lady.”... more>>

Born as the only daughter of a certain marquess family, she became the wife of Duke Matthew of the Krum Duchy a few years ago and has never once smiled. Given this, it's no surprise that she hasn't been able to build a proper marital relationship. Not only did she never share a bedroom with her husband, but they never talked, and started to not even see each other as time passed. One day, Iris noticed something unusual about her health. She began experiencing occasional, excruciating pains in her chest.

"It's 'Frozen Heart Syndrome,'" the doctor declared.

The doctor called in an incurable disease. A curse from a witch of ice said to have lived in a distant northern country.

Those afflicted with this disease have their hearts slowly freeze over. And within about a year from the onset, they inevitably die.

A few days after receiving this diagnosis, her husband, Matthew, informed her of their divorce.

"Since I’ve contracted an incurable disease, this is perfect timing," Iris said, leaving behind only those words as she departed from the ducal household.

That was supposed to be the end with her husband... or so she thought.

But for some reason, Matthew chased after Iris— <<less

Everyone says "like father, like son", but Gu Fuyou has mediocre talent. So mediocre that when people see her, they mock her, wondering how Gu Wanpeng could have such a daughter.... more>>

She was so ordinary until she was accepted into the Xuan Miao Sect, with some suspecting that Gu Wanpeng pulled strings for her behind the scenes.

During a beast-taming class, the master was teaching disciples how to summon spirit beasts.

Someone, trying to mock her, chuckled, "I've heard your father's golden spirit bird can attain the nascent soul stage. Like father, like daughter, right? I bet the spirit beast you summon will be equally impressive."

She started the summoning formation, but there was no movement for a long time.

Everyone laughed, "She can't even summon the lowest-level young beast." This was beyond mediocrity; it was downright useless.

Suddenly, the formation emitted a blinding light, and fog covered the ground. Everyone gasped in surprise.

She summoned something, not a bird or beast, but a living person.

This person was the unparalleled genius of Xuan Miao Sect.

Even she didn't expect it, and the summoned person looked equally bewildered.

In a sudden impulse, she used her ring finger's blood to mark the person's forehead and named her 'Nanzhu Jun'.

The master intervened, shouting, "Stop, she's your senior sister!"

But it was too late; they had already formed a pact. <<less

It was the twenty-third year of Tianxi. Rumours traversed the streets that the all-knowing Imperial Advisor suffered a great calamity and could not help but enter seclusion to focus on cultivation.

Duan FeiZhou decided to stay away from the strife to avoid falling off the horse and became a salted fish.

On the one hand, crazy black market customers hope that the black market will close down as soon as possible. On the other hand, the Nightmen are negatively idle, hoping that he is quickly fired.

Little did Ou Yangming know that as he slowly unfolded the mysteries of the Military Fire and his mental power, he was advancing step by step on the immortal path to Heaven! <<less
