Zhuo Shu recently acquired himself a small-time celebrity, cool, aloof, and exuding an air of abstinence. He was low-maintenance, neither clingy nor demanding, and keeping him around required little effort. Moreover, his presence added to Zhuo Shu’s social cachet. The only downside? This small-time celebrity seemed entirely uninterested in advancing his career.... more>>

One evening, Zhuo Shu decided to take the initiative and asked, “So, tell me, what resources do you desire?”

Ying Tongchen replied, “Resources? Hmm… the deluxe edition of NCEE Study Guide, Gaokao Mock Exam Compilation, and English Grammar Explained should do.”

Zhuo Shu: …???

——

Ying Tongchen, a respectable and accomplished English teacher, somehow found himself entangled with an exceptionally attractive man. This wealthy, visionary, and steadfast man, however, seemed to have an unusual hobby—transferring money.

Staring at the extra string of zeros in his bank account, Ying Tongchen remarked, “I’m an upstanding person.”

Zhuo Shu: …???

[Watching the fun without feeling bored bottom x seemingly cold CEO, but actually loves to eat melons top] ... more>>

Wage worker An Xia dies suddenly due to working overtime all night, and when he opens his eyes again, he is transmigrated into a bloody and abusive love ABO Mary Sue novel, and becomes the assistant of the biggest villain CEO in the book, Fu Qingchen.

The villain CEO is young and promising, rich and handsome, but because he cannot get the love of the protagonist, he resorts to extreme measures, and is ultimately sent to prison by the protagonist bottom.

An Xia sighs at this— how did he become this top love-brain’s employee🙂

After all, everyone knows that it is not easy to be an assistant to the chairman, and it is even more difficult to be an assistant in a Mary Sue novel.

He was originally a miserable wage earner in his previous life, and he never expected that he’d still be a wage earner even after transmigrating!

An Xia had a smile on his face, but cursed inwardly: [No real person would arrange a task like finding out someone’s ancestry within three minutes, no way, no way. People who force others to do things will have no toilet paper when they go to the restroom in the future, hehe.]

Fu Qingchen, who was about to ask An Xia to find out all the background information of the protagonist bottom, suddenly paused, and his original words were swallowed back: “…Assistant An, please make me a cup of coffee.”

An Xia, who had been sitting for a long time and had a sore back, immediately agreed: “Okay!”

*

It is said that Fu Qingchen, the CEO of Fu Group, is at the top of Haicheng’s diamond bachelor list. According to informal statistics, the number of people chasing him could circle around Haicheng five times.

At a banquet, Fu Qingchen was taking a c*cktail from the protagonist bottom, and An Xia, who was standing next to him, had bright eyes—

[Ah! The protagonist added a lot of ingredients to this glass of wine, and they are all imported goods! Is the Chairman finally going to be taken down tonight!]

Fu Qingchen’s hand holding the glass trembled slightly, and he turns his head and stuffed the glass of wine back into the hands of the protagonist bottom.

*

On a sunny afternoon, Fu Qingchen was just about to play a round of golf to relax, but An Xia’s eyes lit up again—

[Eh! Fu Qingchen must have broken both hands in today’s golf game, which caused his ability to take care of himself to plummet. It is said that he can’t even wear underwear properly.]

[In the end, the protagonist bottom took this opportunity to finally take advantage of him, and even touched that unspeakable place…]

Fu Qingchen’s body trembled, and he sent a huge sum of money to An Xia with trembling hands: “An, An Xia, I suddenly want to drink coffee again. Please go again, I will reimburse you for the cost.”

An Xia was shocked by the million dollar coffee reimbursement on his card: [But I heard that drinking so much coffee will affect the function of that place, it won’t work in the future!]

Fu Qingchen collapsed: “I don’t want coffee anymore, change it to Nongfu Spring Water!”

*

It’s still an ordinary working day. Fu Qingchen, who was handling work, heard a familiar voice again. He subconsciously became nervous, fearing that An Xia would speak wildly again—

[OMG! Has the identity of the protagonist bottom, the fake young master, finally been discovered? Now the real young master has gone to his house, and they are arguing about doing a paternity test!]

Fu Qingchen, who finally heard other people’s gossip, breathed a sigh of relief, and silently put down the documents in his hand and waited for An Xia to continue.

Please talk.

Sure enough, other people’s melons are delicious! <<less

After changing jobs, Shen Duoyi encounters his new boss, Qi Shi'an. They had a brief entanglement during their youth. As misunderstandings clear up, they start over and grow closer, giving rise to sparks that eventually ignite a sweet romance.... more>>

Qi Shi'an is a versatile senior trader skilled in fighting, diving, and finance. Shen Duoyi is a highly capable senior actuary with good looks, good character, and high emotional and intellectual intelligence.

Both are academic elites — a suave top and a sweet bottom, both wealthy.

The summary from hundreds of years ago:

Shen Duoyi's parents died in an accident when he was young, leaving him to be raised by his grandfather. As a teenager, he worked part-time jobs to support himself and ended up working as a server at an entertainment venue, where he unexpectedly encountered a young Qi Shi'an, who was already a patron at that age.

Due to a misunderstanding, one thought the other was not a decent person, the other thought that he could be bought with money.

When they meet again, it seems like a lifetime has passed. Qi Shi'an now sits in the office of a senior partner, impeccably dressed, exuding professionalism. Shen Duoyi, having shed his youthful awkwardness, now presents himself as a refined white-collar worker. They become superior and subordinate, gradually discovering each other's hidden strengths and flaws, embedding themselves in each other's hearts and minds.

The story mainly takes place years later, with a few teenage flashbacks sprinkled in. The summary is a mess — don't take it too seriously.

Both are academic elites: Senior Trader x Senior Actuary.

Top: mature, rational, and long-legged.

Bottom: smart, kind, and handsome. (Trying my best to hype them up.) <<less

Gao Gusheng is the protagonist of an indescribable story. From age 18 onwards, his life is covered in mosaics.

Gao Shi is Gao Gusheng's father.

After seeing the plot, Gao Shi silently clenched his fist.

It's hard, his fist is hard.

Domineering CEO: You're destined to be my caged bird, with broken wings, singing only for me.

Gao Shi: It's getting cold, time for a certain CEO to go bankrupt.

[Shocking! A certain CEO surnamed Li imprisoned for massive tax evasion!]

Yandere actor: You're heaven's most perfect creation, an undying rose in my collection room.

Gao Shi: Very well, let's see if it's rose-red or your nosebleed-red.

[Shocking! A certain actor surnamed Xiao turns out to be a serial killer!]

Passionate race car driver: Don't smile, when you smile you don't look like him.

Gao Shi: Don't cry, save your tears for when you're inside.

[Shocking! Famous race car driver involved in hit-and-run!]

Cold-hearted Taoist priest: You're my bait, my eternal prisoner.

Gao Shi... Before Gao Shi could act, Gao Gusheng stepped up and gave the chanting priest a left hook, physically interrupting the spell.

Watching the disbelieving priest being taken away, Gao Gusheng blew on his fist, proud as a little fox who'd eaten a fish.

"Nowadays, who waits for you to finish chanting before striking? Right, Dad?"

Gao Shi nodded approvingly.

"The child can be taught."

---

Gao Shi never expected that a trip out would result in bringing home an amnesiac Taoist priest.

The priest remembers nothing, not even basic life skills, as blank as a sheet of paper.

Gao Shi had no choice but to teach him hands-on.

The priest is obedient and pure, his eyes always bright when looking at Gao Shi.

Until one time, during a mission, Gao Shi encountered a powerful ghost he couldn't handle.

He was about to die.

In his last moment of consciousness, he thought, if only he'd agreed to bring ice cream for the priest.

But he didn't know that after he fainted, a figure caught his falling body.

Ying Bujie held Gao Shi with one arm, a peach wood sword in the other, his face colder than Gao Shi had ever seen.

No one could take away his Captain Gao.

Not even ghosts.

Father Gao Shi is 26, son Gao Gusheng is 18, biological father and son

“I know he is hypocritical and cunning, inconsistent inside and out, ruthless, selfish and willful, and possessive, but that doesn’t stop me from liking him.” — Lin Fei... more>>

*

As the most popular romance novel of the year, “Under the Rose” features its most intense rivalry not between the female lead and the supporting female character, but between two male supporting characters.

The “White Moonlight” Lin Fei is the male god of the campus, whom the female lead has had a secret crush on for years. He is aloof, indifferent, handsome, and noble, looking down on everyone else, and excels academically, consistently holding the top position in his grade. He later becomes a successful entrepreneur and a regular on the Forbes list, representing the eternal moon in the female lead’s heart.

The “Cinnabar Mole” Ji Leyu is the dark antagonist who pursues the female lead but never wins her over. He is ruthless, two-faced, and hides malice behind his smile. When he goes crazy, no one can stop him, especially with the powerful Ji Group backing him, making him even more arrogant and domineering. Ultimately, he becomes the mosquito blood in the female lead’s heart.

After being reborn back to her high school days, Song Qiang decides that this time, the moment she sees Ji Leyu, she will run away and never give him any chance to get close to her again.

However, before she has the chance to run, she sees Lin Fei standing beside Ji Leyu.

They go to school together, eat together, go home together, and participate in extracurricular activities together.

Song Qiang even sees Ji Leyu pulling Lin Fei by the collar to kiss him.

Song Qiang: !!! Let go of her male god!!

Just as she is about to rush over, she is shocked to see her male god lower his head and kiss Ji Leyu on the lips.

Song Qiang: ????

What happened to being aloof and heartless?!

Male god, what is going on?!

Song Qiang cautiously observes in secret and is horrified to discover that her former pursuer and the one she used to pursue are now together!

Her “White Moonlight” and her “Mosquito Blood” are together!

Song Qiang: …This world seems a bit off.

***

Song Qiang confirmed that Lin Fei and Ji Leyu were together. She didn’t want her male god to get hurt, so she quietly reminded Lin Fei, “Do you know that he’s not as well-behaved and cute as you think? He’s much more complicated than you imagine!”

Lin Fei’s tone remained as calm as ever, “I know.”

“I know he’s hypocritical and cunning, inconsistent inside and out, ruthless, selfish and willful, and possessive, but that doesn’t stop me from liking him.”

“To me, he is the most well-behaved and adorable.”

How could he not know?

Since the age of six, Lin Fei had known what kind of person Ji Leyu was.

But he loved this imperfect yet irreplaceable Ji Leyu in his heart.

***

Ji Leyu leaned against Lin Fei, rubbing his head against Lin Fei’s shoulder and whimpering, “Come on, comfort me.”

Lin Fei put down his book, turned, and kissed him on the lips, then patted his hair. “Good boy.”

Ji Leyu hugged him tightly, like a rose with its thorns retracted.

— Dazzlingly brilliant, yet blooming for only one person.

He was his bottom line, he was his devotion.

—

Lin Fei is the top, Ji Leyu is the bottom.

The structure of the first sentence of the synopsis is inspired by “The Painted Veil.”

—-

《面纱》 (The Painted Veil) is a novel by W. Somerset Maugham, published in 1925. The story is set in the 1920s and revolves around the tumultuous marriage of Kitty Garstin and her husband, Walter Fane, a bacteriologist. The plot thickens when Walter discovers Kitty’s infidelity and takes her to a cholera-infected region in China, where he works. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships.

The title “The Painted Veil” refers to a line from Percy Bysshe Shelley’s sonnet “Lift Not the Painted Veil,” which suggests the idea of not looking too closely at life’s illusions or the facade people present to the world.

The phrase “子非鱼” (zǐ fēi yú) originates from the classical Chinese text “Zhuangzi” (also known as “Chuang Tzu”), which is a foundational work of Daoist philosophy. This phrase is part of a longer passage that involves a dialogue between Zhuangzi (also known as Zhuang Zhou) and his friend Huizi (also known as Hui Shi). The dialogue goes as follows:

Zhuangzi and Huizi were strolling along the Hao River when Zhuangzi said:

“The fish are swimming so freely, this is the happiness of fish.”

Huizi replied:

“You are not a fish, how do you know the happiness of fish?”

Zhuangzi responded:

“You are not me, how do you know that I do not know the happiness of fish?”

The phrase “子非鱼” directly translates to “You are not a fish.” It is Huizi’s argument challenging Zhuangzi’s assertion about knowing the happiness of fish. The broader philosophical implications of this dialogue revolve around the nature of knowledge and understanding, especially concerning different perspectives and subjective experiences. <<less

Qiao Muyu was good-looking and academically outstanding. He seemed perfect in every way, yet he was a hopeless late-stage top student addict.... more>>

On the surface, he appeared calm and indifferent, unfazed by praise or criticism, lazy and laid-back. In reality, he studied like his life depended on it and had long dominated the top of the grade rankings.

Until his third year of high school, when his throne was usurped by an unremarkable transfer student. From that moment on, he was demoted to the perpetually frustrated runner-up.

Outwardly, Qiao Muyu remained polite and composed. "Being top of the grade? I’ve never cared for such empty titles"

But inside, he was cursing up and down the street. "Damn it, I will reclaim every bit of glory that belongs to me"

One day, he overheard a friend gossiping. "That couple from the next class, xxx and xx, just got caught for dating. No wonder their grades dropped so badly recently. Dating really does affect academic performance!"

Qiao Muyu slapped his thigh. "Brilliant!"

That top-ranked boy didn’t even look like he had ever held a girl’s hand. He was so pure he could drip water. If he fell in love, his grades would definitely fall apart!

Just a teenage boy with hormones. I’ll make sure he drowns in the sea of love and can't get out!

So Qiao Muyu stayed up all night researching love letter techniques, then wrote a letter so heart-fluttering and tearjerking that it could make anyone’s heart race:

"Lu Zhen, I like you. Please go out with me."

Lu Zhen nodded. "Okay."

Qiao Muyu: Eh? So quick?

Wait, why does something feel off

Never mind. I'll trick him into falling head over heels first.

—

The thing Qiao Muyu regretted most in his life was tricking someone into dating him back in high school.

His second biggest regret was not burning incense and praying before submitting his resume. Only after starting the job did he realize that the newly appointed supervisor in his department was none other than the ex-boyfriend he had slept with and then heartlessly dumped.

Terrified, Qiao Muyu submitted his resignation letter that very night.

His best friend tried to console him, urging him not to throw away such a great job opportunity. “So many years have passed. Whatever bad blood there was between you two can be resolved!”

Qiao Muyu looked like he’d lost all hope. “It can’t be resolved. The reason I gave for the breakup was way too cruel.”

Best friend: “What did you say?”

Qiao Muyu: “I said he was terrible in bed.”

Best friend: “...” <<less

The moment Doh Joo-won laid eyes on a profile named “Beom” a self-proclaimed leopard, he knew. It was definitely Chae Hyeong-seok.

And with that, his mind was made up.

He was going to take revenge…no, repay his teacher for all he had done.

How? Of course, through direct physical means.

Hiding his identity, Joo-won began chatting with "Beom" under the alias “J”, and before long, he successfully lured him into a hotel room.

Mr Chae, always so proud of his “leopard” strength. Turns out he’s actually… a cheetah, notorious for his hypersensitive body.

However, Sjoerd, known for his cruel methods but incomparable abilities, ended up harming countless people during a sudden rampage in a battle against monsters. Consequently, he met his death at the hands of Prince Reuschers, the Crown Prince's rival and the strongest Guide.

"There will never be anyone as terrible as you in this world."

At the brink of death, Sjoerd reflects on his life. Even the kind-hearted prince—who was liked by everyone—despised him. And his Guide, the Crown Prince, regretted everything and abandoned him in his final moments.

Sjoerd wakes up five years in the past.

Doubting this unbelievable reality, Sjoerd seeks a different life to prevent his rampage. He approached Reuschers, who had yet to awaken his power, and tried to talk to him, but then.

"Why are you acting like this towards me? Aren’t you supposed to hate and disregard me?”

Lin Qinghen is truly pitiful.... more>>

His mother passed away early, he has a scarred face, his cultivation talent is poor, and he is not favored by his family. Therefore, from a young age, he learned to act cautiously and keep a low profile. Even after suddenly binding with an alchemy system, he dared not make a splash, merely wanting to live quietly by farming and refining medicine.

That is, until a dramatic plot of marrying in someone else’s place fell upon him.

His cousin, Lin Qingshuang, a favored daughter of heaven, despised her fallen fiancé. Unable to break off the engagement, she impulsively decided to send him in her stead.

Her fiancé, Yin Jiuxiao of the Yin family, was said to have been glorious in his youth, born with a bone for swordsmanship. Unfortunately, his cultivation technique backfired, ruining his foundation and blinding him. Now, he is completely disabled.

Before the wedding, he met the man once and felt a sense of shared misery. He seemed like a nice person, easy to get along with.

“I’m ugly, and you can’t see; we are a perfect match,” Lin Qinghen patted his new husband’s shoulder on their wedding night. “Don’t worry, I’ll farm and take care of you.”

Lin Qinghen had no idea that the world he was in was a novel about the male lead’s revenge after being discarded.

The pitiful, quiet husband he played was actually the main character of this novel.

Moreover, this was Yin Jiuxiao’s second life.

Perspective of the dominant partner:

In his previous life, after Yin Jiuxiao’s fall from grace followed by humiliation from a broken engagement, he awakened his demonic bone amidst hardships and ultimately ascended as a revered dual cultivator of sword and demon. Everyone who had once scorned him groveled at his feet, and he returned all slights doubly.

After being reborn, his so-called regression in strength was just an act, as was his blindness, just watching those people reveal their true natures, ugliness and all, until the Lin family, like in his previous life, attempted to break off the engagement, and he wasn’t surprised.

But Yin Jiuxiao didn’t expect this life’s engagement to turn out very differently.

What came to marry him was a meek, ugly duckling who held him and said, “Don’t be afraid, let’s have a good life together.”

Quite interesting, really.

Note:

1.A powerful, possessive dominant partner X gentle, resilient, angelic partner, with mutual pampering, the dominant partner is reborn and the submissive partner is transmigrated, daily updates.

2.A sweet story, focusing on skills rather than martial prowess.

Attention! The main character has a significant golden finger and a substantial farming storyline. Essentially, this is an upgrading-through-farming story!

Jiang Chen transmigrated into a domineering CEO novel, becoming a cannon-fodder lackey by the side of the second male lead, and was bound to a gossip system.... more>>

The lackey had looks and money but wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed. He was a stumbling block on the path of the main couple’s romance—stubborn and troublesome—so his ending was predictably tragic.

His family went bankrupt, his parents died, he ended up in prison, and was “specially taken care of” on the male lead’s orders, ultimately taking his own life in despair.

Jiang Chen decided to cling to the second male lead’s coattails, play the role of a gossip-enjoying bystander, and steer clear of the chaotic main couple.

The female lead skipped school, refusing to take the college entrance exam. The second male lead tried to persuade her, even locking her up and hiring tutors to catch her up.

[It’s useless. This lovesick fool only has eyes for her little delinquent boyfriend, Yellow Hair. She’s not just skipping school—she got caught bringing Yellow Hair into the girls’ dorm to sleep and was sent home by the school to reflect.]

[As expected of the female lead, absolutely wild.]

[Yellow Hair’s no saint either. He planned to trick her into being sold off. Though our boy stopped him in the end, and she got into her dream university, she still holds a grudge against him for breaking up her romance.]

[Our boy’s got it rough!]

[Wait, hold on—our boy actually let her go?]

[She got sold.]

[And bought by the male lead… uh…]

Following the second male lead with his system, Jiang Chen indulged in gossip, only to find the plot veering further off course. The second male lead’s gaze toward him grew increasingly strange.

On the surface, Jiang Chen played innocent, but inside, he was thrilled. [My boy, Daddy loves you! Daddy’s gossip will lead you to the peak of life!]

Lu Chiyuan had long felt something was wrong with his world. He had a privileged background, a sharp mind, and a strong physique—his life should have been bright and dazzling, yet he was inexplicably trapped in a strange cycle.

That cycle revolved around his parents’ adopted daughter, Shen Zhiyi. His excellence seemed to exist solely to clean up her messes.

It wasn’t normal.

Lu Chiyuan wanted to break free, but whenever the thought crossed his mind, he’d suffer splitting headaches and absurdly bad luck—choking on water, crashing his car, roads closed by fog. He was stuck, only able to move forward by catering to Shen Zhiyi.

Fed up with this life, Lu Chiyuan was once again forced to ditch a business partner to return and deal with Shen Zhiyi’s chaos when he suddenly gained the ability to hear someone’s thoughts.

It was his subordinate, a lackey who appeared soft and obedient but had a vivid, audacious inner world, eagerly playing the role of his “dad.”

[My boy’s so handsome. I love you, my boy.]

Lu Chiyuan kept him close, and from then on, the gossip never stopped.

Shen Zhiyi refused to take the college entrance exam. The lackey: [She’s doing it on purpose to sabotage your business and make you lose money.]

Lu Chiyuan decisively let go, choosing to respect her fate.

The male lead tried to steal Lu Chiyuan’s business. The lackey: [No worries, the female lead will mess things up for him, and he won’t sign the contract. We can swoop in.]

Lu Chiyuan called a meeting with the relevant departments, prepared thoroughly, and secured the deal.

He discovered that as long as the lackey was near, the world’s rules couldn’t control him—the closer, the better the effect.

Later, when Lu Chiyuan was ambushed and the world’s consciousness urged him to seek out Shen Zhiyi, he defied the rules, stumbling to the lackey’s doorstep and knocking.

The moment the door opened, his sunlight broke through the world’s heavy shackles, shining on him.

After a chaotic night, the lackey played ostrich.

Lackey: [This wasn’t in the book! Holy crap, the plot’s completely derailed.]

Lu Chiyuan held the lackey tightly in his arms. This wasn’t derailment—this was everything falling back into place. <<less

It was undoubtedly loneliness.

On the other hand, Yuri tamed Chris and brought him to his knees. The master whispered human emotions and life to the once untamed beast. A being that could have been a disaster became human, willing even to sacrifice himself.

This is surely a downfall.

Yuri's lips moved.

"Engrave it firmly in that s*upid head of yours."
