KyungHyun stopped in the middle of a deep kiss and sighed. His lips began to form a smile, but his fierce glare said otherwise. Possessiveness and jealousy spread across his sculpted face.

He’s been able to see ghosts since childhood. His face, hidden behind long bangs and horn-rimmed glasses, is always shadowed. After discovering that ghosts don’t approach him when he’s near sunbae Young-won from their shared elective class, he’s been secretly stealing his positive energy. Though prickly like a hedgehog on the outside, he has a soft heart and unknowingly keeps pulling Young-won’s emotions in different directions.... more>>

Young-won was used to everyone approaching him with goodwill, so he became intrigued by Mo Yeon, the strangest person in school who showed no interest in him. He eventually becomes even more clingy than the ghosts to the cat-like Mo Yeon, while simultaneously suffering from severe denial about his feelings.

Mo Yeon discovers that ghosts don’t approach Young-won, the school’s brightest star, and becomes his stalker and energy thief. In the process, he learns new things about Young-won – contrary to his public image, he actually has a sharp tongue and isn’t so clean in matters of romance.

One day, when he wasn’t wearing his glasses, Mo Yeon is mistakenly labeled by Young-won as a gay man who wants to sleep with him. After that, Mo Yeon decides to steal his energy without any guilt. Fortunately, Young-won’s terrible face recognition means he doesn’t recognize Mo Yeon at school. He doesn’t seem to connect the quiet presence at school with his “gay neighbor.”

Just as things were going smoothly, Young-won approaches Mo Yeon using a group project as an excuse… <<less

Gu Yuanbai transmigrated into a BL novel as a weak, sickly emperor who barely had any sense of presence in the plot. The novel was a story of the struggle to gain the political power and love between the future regent and the first beauty in the capital, and he was supposed to serve just as a backdrop board.... more>>

Gu-wildly ambitious-Yuanbai: Don’t make me laugh.

He was the emperor—why would he let go of his power instead of expanding the national borders and leaving his name in the annals of history?

*

Xue Yuan, the son of the current supreme general and the future regent, hiding a burning ambition, accompanied his father into the palace for the first time. That day, he looked up, hidden among the crowd of courtiers, and caught a glimpse of the young emperor’s face.

Naturally rebellious, he sneered, thinking contemptuously that the little emperor looked prettier than the palace ladies. With this too-beautiful appearance and weak body, how was he planning to rule the country?

Others usually appeared as human when they possessed a book, but I… possessed a doll. It was also the favorite doll of the tyrant, whose head was sent flying by the male lead.... more>>

'I’ve already died once. I don’t want to die again!'

To survive, I must reform the tyrant.

To do that, I first need to move my body… What? Oh, it's moving?

"Are you really Chloe? No, who are you?"

The young emperor of the Burgundy Empire, a tyrant fated to die, stood before me. My goal? Reclaim my body while reforming him!

* * *

Her hair wasn't black. Instead, it was golden—shiny and bright, just like the doll's.

Standing frozen in shock, Declan asked again, his voice trembling.

"Chloe… Is it really you? But why do you look like a doll?"

Ever since the doll had moved its hand, he had hoped that Chloe might be inside it. Now, with a translucent figure resembling the doll standing before him, his hope grew.

Because in the end, people believed what they wanted to believe.

"I’m not the princess."

His eyes shook greatly at the firm response. <<less

‘Siren’ a name derived from an ancient creature, used to describe those who could charm, lure, control, and heal others by singing.... more>>

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered.

“Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

“Let’s fall to hell together.”

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

[Marry me.]

Aria extended her hand and gave him the contract.

[Let’s get divorced in 10 years…]

The young duke took the contract from her hand.

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

In this world, people are divided into three kinds.... more>>

The chang ren are just ordinary people. At the top are the xie, born with pure Yang bodies and seen as the most powerful. Then there are the kao—people with Yin bodies who can give birth regardless of their gender. They are rare, which makes them highly sought after by noble families.

When a xie and a kao come together, they bond for life and produce heir that is legacy of the their entire family.

***

Sanxi grew up neglected by the Shen family. As the son of a low-ranked concubine and a chang ren, he was treated more like a servant than a son.

His fifth sister, however, was a kao already promised to marry two xie sons from one of the capital’s most powerful clans—the Xu family. But when his sister mysteriously passes away, Sanxi is sent to the capital.

There, he learns the truth about himself: he is also a kao.

Now, he must take his sister’s place and become the shared kao wife of two illegitimate xie sons from the Xu family, along with their eldest legitimate son, a chang ren.

Amidst this journey, echoes of a mystic past linger.

Nian Jinsui, an Alpha, finds himself transmigrated into a novel as the malicious fake young master Omega who is crazily obsessed with the protagonist top.

In the novel, this behavior leads to Nian Jinsui being tortured to death by Qin Chengyu.... more>>

The worst part? He has to follow the storyline! How is he supposed to mistreat this poor pitiful guy when he can’t bring himself to do it?!

Chi Han stayed up all night reading a melodramatic and heartbreaking story.... more>>

In the story, the scummy protagonist separates from Bai Yueguang (ie White Moonlight) due to a misunderstanding, and under intense suffering, undergoes a complete personality transformation, becoming dark and irritable. By a twist of fate, he encounters a supporting male character who bears a striking resemblance to Bai Yueguang, immediately making him his own as a substitute.

Throughout, the cannon fodder supporting character is utterly devoted until Bai Yueguang returns to the country. The scummy protagonist then ruthlessly kicks him aside, making the supporting character finally realize his descent into self-destruction. Eventually, he goes insane, manipulated by Bai Yueguang and the scummy protagonist, and is locked up in a mental hospital until the story’s end.

As for the major antagonist who was manipulated by Bai Yueguang, his ending is equally tragic. After being overthrown by the scummy protagonist, he is left utterly defeated, his assets mortgaged, and not long after, he tragically takes his own life.

Chi Han, upon reaching the end, was so infuriated with the author’s forced attempt to make the scummy protagonist victorious by dumbing down the major antagonist. He abandoned the story on the spot. In the comments section, he left one resounding statement:

“If I were that supporting character, those doggedly scummy guys wouldn’t survive until the end!”

And then, on that very day, he somehow found himself transported into the novel, becoming a cannon fodder supporting character.

Chi Han: “…”

Can I take them back now? Is it still possible to delete those comments?

Regretful Chi Han, unable to change anything, continued to watch as the major antagonist, still underage, sat in a wheelchair, indifferently brushing aside the peaches that had fallen onto his shoulder. With a cold and proud demeanor, he passed by. Suddenly, he felt like maybe… it wasn’t all that bad?

In the Rong family’s line of heirs, there are no losers.

Due to his disability, Rong Xu had long been shunned by the family and excluded from their circle of power. He had tasted the ups and downs of human relationships. During countless dark nights, his only companion was the icy wheelchair beneath him.

A hatred akin to a venomous serpent relentlessly gnawed at his heart daily. He was determined that sooner or later, those who had trampled on him would pay the price!

Until one day, a person recklessly threw themselves into his arms. It was then that Rong Xu discovered colors beyond the darkness.

That person was Chi Han.

—I used to believe that this world would only treat me with darkness until that star fell onto my knees. I then realized that even the gods love me.

The fairy-like Countess Victoria was dragged into the shadows by a nobleman's son at a ball one fateful night.... more>>

Overwhelmed and at her wits' end!

Someone, help me!

As she screamed in her heart, the image of an unfamiliar young man floated before her like a mirage.

A tall knight with long golden hair and ice-blue eyes. He was well-built, skilled with a sword, and possessed a steely resolve to protect his charge at all costs.

Heathcliff Blueitt.

His name came to her mind naturally.

(If only Heathcliff were here, this wouldn’t have happened!)

Emotions that felt foreign to her began to overflow.

And then she remembered. She had once been known as "Ralph"… the prince of this country. Poisoned by his fiancée, the duchess Natalia, he had lost his life. Heathcliff had been the young man who served as Ralph's bodyguard.

This was not a thing of the past, but an event from the same era as now. Indeed, Natalia existed in this world as well.

However, Ralph was nowhere to be found.

In a world where Ralph had never been born, Victoria, who carried Ralph's memories, had yet to meet Heathcliff.

As Victoria was attacked by the man, she cried out desperately.

"Heathcliff, 'I' am here! Help me!"

At that moment, a breeze swept through, and a familiar voice echoed in her ears, nostalgic and comforting. <<less

“God may listen, but He doesn’t grant wishes.”

The words were muttered cynically, barely loud enough for Liv to hear.

His low voice was chilling, yet somehow alluring, like the song of a siren.

In the palace struggle novel, the ultimate boss, Xie Bufeng, has been void of emotional attachment since childhood, being seen as a monster. The previous emperor, afflicted with a terminal illness, used him for medical experiments, casting him into battle to perish. Unexpectedly, Xie Bufeng climbed out of the pile of corpses, returning to the capital with three thousand cavalry to establish himself as the emperor.... more>>

As soon as medical student Wen Qingci exclaimed "awesome!" he found himself transmigrated into the role of a physician experimenting on Xie Bufeng's body with the notorious black lotus elixir. His eyebrows are dotted with cinnabar and skin as smooth as jade, and being deeply devoted to medicine without distinguishing between good and evil, he was named the "demonic-faced immortal".

In the end, he was torn apart and fed to vultures.

By the time Wen Qingci arrived, Xie Bufeng had already been captured by the medical department and understood his fate. He was sickly and had a fierce glare, like a wolf cub trapped in a cage, eager to crush Wen Qingci's throat at any moment. Under the watchful eye of the emperor's confidant, Wen Qingci flicked his wrist and shoved a piece of candy into Xie Bufeng's mouth:

"This is a poison that corrodes the intestines. If Your Highness cooperates, an antidote can be obtained once a month."

Under the surveillance of the emperor and with the ending written in the book, Wen Qingci pretended to conduct serious experiments while secretly trying to detoxify him. He risked his life to save Xie Bufeng from the brink of death. Madness ensued until the day of the palace coup, when Wen Qingci took an arrow meant for Xie Bufeng's heart.

The new emperor, speaking slowly between his teeth, forced out the words: "After your death, there will be no antidote, and I will have no choice but to accompany you." Wen Qingci smiled, coughing up a mouthful of blood and shaking his head gently:

"...What I feed to Your Highness is always honey made...by myself..."

A teardrop mixed with blood fell from the corner of Xie Bufeng's eye.

Ten miles of red wedding decorations welcomed Xie Bufeng's thin coffin into the palace gates. Xie Bufeng, full of resentment towards gods and ghosts, knelt in front of the temple, offering his blood as sacrifice to the heavens, praying to see him once again. Like a madman.

Outside the city, Wen Qingci faked his death and slipped away. In the Valley of Divine Physicians, a mysterious figure emerged, tending to flowers, reading books, and listening to music, living leisurely and carefree. Until one day, news of the emperor's old illness recurred, and he was "invited" to the imperial palace.

Before Wen Qingci could figure out how to handle the situation...

The supposed terminally ill new emperor coldly pulled aside the bead curtain, his fingertips as cold as snake scales, slowly unraveling his veil.

Mini Theater:

From birth, Xie Bufeng could hear the evil thoughts in people's hearts. He grew numb amidst aversion, curses, and malicious suspicions. Only Wen Qingci was an exception.

Xie Bufeng didn't believe that Wen Qingci's heart was as clear as a mirror.

Until one day, while the noble and sorrowful palace physician bowed to the emperor and whispered in his heart:

"Shut up, you **."

Su Weisheng was the high priest of the Su family, known for his single passion: anything gold and shiny. Even the tomb and coffin he slept in were personally adorned with gemstones.... more>>

Centuries later, upon realizing that his treasures were disappearing, he was so enraged that he emerged from his coffin, brimming with killing intent. He confronted the clueless little thieves.

The two young men stared at him in horror. One of them, a youth who bore a three-point resemblance to him, dropped to his knees with a thud. “Ancestor, please spare my life!”

Su Weisheng: “…” Damn, it’s an unfilial descendant!

After his slumber, Su Weisheng discovered that the Su family had declined with each generation. Whenever they couldn’t make ends meet, they’d visit the ancestral hall, sell off candlesticks and fans, and praise him for his foresight and generosity in leaving such “legacy treasures” for his descendants.

This particular unfilial descendant was Su Ran, a controversial top star in the entertainment industry, known for his unruly, infamous reputation. After falling out with his agency and becoming penniless, he had come to the ancestral hall to “mooch” off the family legacy.

Looking at the pitch-dark, empty ancestral hall, the high priest clenched his fists. It was time to teach these unfilial descendants how to properly honor their ancestor.

«Another Side of Family Life» was an online family-themed reality show. The production team had poured a fortune into inviting several famous family pairings from the industry, including a veteran film emperor and his same-s*x partner, an investor father and son from a wealthy family, a star screenwriter and his pet cat, and the final pair…

Top star Su Ran and his great-grandfather.

Netizens: ???

Has the production team gone mad, or has the top star lost it?

Before the show aired, the audience reaction was full of disdain: Who wants to watch some wrinkled old man? A grandparent-grandchild pairing? The top star must be desperate for money!

But when the show aired, as viewers furiously mocked through the barrage of comments, the camera shifted from the top star to a strikingly handsome young man with an icy, elegant demeanor.

Su Ran (pausing briefly): Let me introduce to you—this is my great-grandfather.

The audience was dumbfounded.

#YouWon’tBelieveItButIMBackInShowbizToEarnMoney

ForMyAncestor’sTomb#

But that was only the tip of the iceberg. The bizarre reality show was also being live-streamed in the underworld. A group of bored ghosts waiting for reincarnation stared blankly at the broadcast. Was this a new event organized by the underworld?

After the show went live, Su Weisheng was shocked to discover he could not only see the comments from the living but also those from the underworld.

For example, when the “Versailles” film emperor proudly declared on camera how his parents’ decades-long love inspired him to believe in love, a comment floated by from the underworld:

—Great-grandfather, could you pass a message to my son? Tell him to relocate my grave—I want a divorce. I want to raise a young puppy in the underworld.

The Film Emperor later: I saw someone’s house collapse in the distance. When I got closer, I realized it was my ancestral grave.

When the star screenwriter shared how much effort he had put into researching history for one of his dramas, another underworld comment floated by:

—LOL, does he know the inspiration for the high priest in his script is literally sitting right there? And he made him a lovesick fool? I’m so embarrassed I could dig a three-bedroom apartment with my toes.

The screenwriter later: Stop it. Thanks, everyone, for toe-digging me a villa.

When a notorious black fan stirred up trouble online, spreading slander about Su Weisheng, that very night, the influencer’s long-deceased mother appeared in his dream and smacked him upside the head:

—Who the hell told you to badmouth my idol in the mortal realm? Don’t you know your mom was the high priest’s top fan?!

Black fan: !!! Oh my god!!! <<less

I, a tentacled monster, am currently disguised as a human, deeply in love with my master—though it’s entirely one-sided.... more>>

Everyone who’s in love with their master knows the classic tale of tragic love between master and disciple: heart-wrenching betrayal, leaps from the Immortal Execution Platform, fatal stabbings to the heart, today’s fall into demonhood, tomorrow’s kneeling on the long staircase. Each one has a beautifully bleak ending.

But my master is different. He doesn’t put me through that kind of tragic romance. He kisses me, praises me, and has never let me go hungry. He even looks at me with a smile and calls me softly, “Zhi Zhi.”

He is the kindest human to me.

I like him.

For a monster, expressing affection is simple: liking someone means staying close, from wrapping them in tent**les to keeping our bodies close.

Using the spell my master taught me, I locked him in place and tried to stay close to him, hoping he’d start liking me back. But my master no longer kissed me. His eyes grew misty as if he might cry.

My master doesn’t seem to like me.

That’s okay. I extended more tent**les, clinging harder, day and night, diligently. Surely, he’ll be moved one day.

After I locked up my master, the sect grew suspicious. They broke into the dark room and pierced my monstrous body with a thousand swords. In my final moments, my master didn’t look at me. I suppose he really never loved me.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back at the moment I’d first joined the sect.

My master looked at me, with a slightly strange expression, then nodded at me like in my previous life and said,

“This one, then.”

But he added a new line:

“He will cultivate the Path of Emotionlessness with me.”

Me: …?

My countless tent**les: …QAQ?

Aren’t humans supposed to be together if they’re partners…

Master telling me to cultivate the Path of Emotionlessness = Master not letting me be his partner = Master doesn’t love me at all.

So I really am on the tragic romance route. I’ll never love Master again, QAQ. <<less
