Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times.... more>>

Good news: He's bound to a system.

Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people's private information and scandals. Utterly useless.

More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown.

Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler... doesn't understand the classics, can't write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel.

...

In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear.

Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System.

[Wow, the emperor just took in a 16-year-old noblewoman yesterday! A beautiful addition! He's getting stronger with age! And he was tossing and turning in bed all night but still has such a powerful voice now! Amazing!]

[This noblewoman used to be the crown prince's concubine! And the crown prince even knows how to write passionate love letters!]

[Wow wow wow! The crown prince sneaked into the grandpa's harem... hiss—got intimate while the old emperor was attending court! Do it quickly! Why isn't there any video...]

[Huh? Why is there no sound?]

Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around.

[What happened? Why is everyone kneeling? Where's the emperor?]

—The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem.

*

The "imperial exam cheating" bomb finally exploded.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn't match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn't understand the classics.

The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary:

How do I explain the source of my information...

[Say that I secretly met with the Chief Examiner, the Minister of Rites, three nights before the exam? Impossible, that night, the Minister of Rites was dressed as a woman, spent the night at the General's Mansion, with the general...]

The general's body shook, and he interjected: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there's still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu... Xu... Xu Yanmiao's attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!"

The crown prince, who couldn't hear his thoughts: ??

[Also, what's with saying that the examiner faking yawning and tiredness was intentionally leaving me a gap for cheating? He spent the night before the exam in the pigsty without sleeping, how could he not be tired the next day? But, surprisingly, the Imperial Academy lecturer actually believed in pig's milk...]

The Imperial Academy lecturer's face went pale, and he burst out: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"I... I agree with the General's words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He... he... he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!"

Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ??

Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved.

[They're all good people, even if their brains don't work well, they're trying their best to find reasons and excuses for me.]

[But I really have no way to turn the tables, alas, it's a pity that I haven't finished watching the TV series I've been following. The old emperor angered the empress last night and got kicked out of the bedchamber, and now I'm going to die before seeing the ending. He seems to be planning to paint his face with ink and pretend to be a cat to cheer up the empress...]

"Bang—"

The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: "I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!"

The civil and military officials couldn't wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip.

"Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You've tired him out by making him stand for so long!"

The crown prince: ??

Did Xu Yanmiao drug them with hallucinogens or something? <<less

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

"I'm tired. I want to stop now."... more>>

Dowook tilted his head slightly. He raised his subtly thick eyebrows as if to ask what that meant.

"You and I have been together for fifteen years, and we've been dating for eight."

"Only eight years."

"Yes, as many as eight years."

Dowook's eyes sink terrifyingly. With those eyes, he called out gently, "Junhee."

"I must have upset you because I'm drunk today. Are you angry because I called you out late at night while soaked in alcohol? I won't do it again. I'll be damn obedient. Please cut me some slack. You don't contact me. You say you will, but you damn well don't. So of course I'd be upset, wouldn't I?"

"Being by your side isn't enjoyable at all. It's not exciting."

"......"

He stared directly at Junhee as he stubbed out the cigarette he was smoking on the window frame. It was a nervous gesture. Then, as if the buttoned collar filling his nape was suffocating, he roughly pulled down the neckline of his shirt.

He glares at Junhee again as if to kill her. Junhee also looked up at those eyes as if confronting him. Dowook twisted his lips, smirking.

"If it was going to be like this, we should have just had car s*x."

A low, deep laugh brushed against her nape. <<less

A man who loved one woman to the point of ruin.

"Just as you needed money, Lee Eunsoo, I needed you. Let’s leave it at that."

A woman who had nothing but debt, pride, and her body—Lee Eunsoo.

"...I asked him to buy me. For as much as possible. At the highest price."

Life had been so hard she had never once loved anyone.

"Please don’t make me feel guilty, sir."

—From the novel—

"What brings you here at this hour, Eunsoo?"

Relieved by the familiarity in his voice, Eunsoo lets out a soft sigh and manages a faint smile. "It’s nothing. I just haven’t been able to come for a few days. I wanted to stay by your side..."

Moochan tries to close the door on her, his tone cold. "That’s not necessary anymore. Go home."

Startled by his rejection, Eunsoo quickly blocks the door with her foot. "Why are you acting like this, sir?"

"I told you to leave."

Determined, Eunsoo pushes past him. Displeased, Moochan furrows his brow and grabs her arm, stopping her from coming any further.

"You’re hurting me, sir!"

"Eunsoo, you seem to be under a big misconception. Do you think there’s something between us? We were bound by a contract—nothing more, nothing less. And now that the contract is over, you can’t just barge in like this."

Frozen by his coldness, Eunsoo can only stare at him with wounded eyes. She knows he’s never given her any hope, but did he have to push her away so harshly?

"We can just extend the contract."

She wants to stay by his side, even if it means lowering herself, even if it means being the villain.

"I need the money anyway."

With a forced smile, Eunsoo tries to hide her pain. Moochan’s gaze is icy.

"And you need me, too, sir." <<less

The Marquis Yunyang was deposed by the Emperor and his family ended up in dire straits overnight. As such, the Third Miss of the Shen Household, her family’s most precious jewel, found herself abandoned by all with a sick brother on her hands. Having no other choice, she set up a cosmetics shop in Chang’an.... more>>

But to the eyes of all, especially her relatives’, she had become nothing but an alluring flower any man could pick at will.

Passing by her Baixiang Pavilion, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Zhen, Lu Yan, witnessed her being harassed by the idle sons of Chang’an’s leading class. Her appearance reminded him of dreams that had been plaguing him lately, revealing to him a past with her and the sultry love affair they had shared in a previous life.

With shaking fingers, he also remembered the bitter taste of heartbreak when she left him to marry another man.

Thus, in this life, he decided to save her once more, lure her into an affair, install her as his mistress and never let her escape his sphere of influence again.

However, to keep Shen Zhen by his side, finding her a place to stay and caring for her brother was not enough. Little did Lu Yan know he would be pulled into the darkest corners of Chang’an and take part in games of power that at times implicated the Main Gentleman of the Empire, the Emperor himself. Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.

All for the sake of Chang’an’s First Beauty. <<less

Sia twirled a bite of spicy jjolmyeon around her chopsticks, balanced it on a spoon, and held it up to Hangyeol’s lips.... more>>

"Come on, try it. You’ll never forget this taste."

With a bright smile, oblivious to the red sauce smeared around her mouth, Sia offered him the noodles. Unable to refuse, Hangyeol took a deep breath and accepted her offering. The flavor was tangy and bursting with umami, but the heat was intense. Even after gulping down water, his throat and ears burned bright red.

"Whew. Wow... It’s definitely unforgettable."

The lingering spice left Hangyeol dizzy.

"I’ll get you some more water," Sia said, jumping up and returning with a chilled bottle. She filled his glass, and he drained it in one go.

"Are you not good with spicy food?"

"Ha... No, not really."

"Then, how about we eat spicy food together more often?"

Thinking she was joking, Hangyeol frowned, but Sia’s expression was completely serious.

"Right now, Hangyeol, you look incredibly sexy. Let’s eat spicy food together all the time."

Even with her lips stained red, Sia’s radiant smile lit up the room. After years of devoting himself to just one person, Hangyeol’s heart began to stir, as if ready to awaken for someone new. <<less

At 26 years old, Duan Baisui faced two choices:

1. Marry an Omega with a high compatibility score from the pheromone match database.

2. Fulfill his childhood promise and marry his "silly" childhood friend.

Duan Baisui chose the second option.

Summary 2:

After the wedding, Duan Baisui was polite and respectful to his "silly" spouse but lacked the intimacy expected between lovers.

However, his spouse wasn’t entirely foolish—he was just slower to react than most, but he understood emotions that mattered.

When entertainment tabloids published rumors about Duan Baisui’s alleged affair, the "silly" spouse arranged a meeting with the rumored third party.

He pushed two bank cards and a piggy bank in front of the man.

With a serious and earnest expression, he said, “Here is a total of 2,078,645.5 yuan. I’m giving you everything. Please leave my husband immediately. I know the market price is 5 million, and I’ll pay the remaining amount in installments.”

Before marrying into the richest family in Jiangcheng, An Xun did his homework thoroughly. His future husband, Bo Xiangzhou, liked obedient people. However, An Xun had a foul temper, loved to swear, and often got into fights. He couldn’t be further from obedient.

To win over his rich and powerful husband, he put on the guise of a well-behaved “good baby.”

When his husband wasn’t looking, An Xun would curse under his breath, full of resentment, and could fend off a group of Alphas with just a bottle of wine. But when his husband was around, he would appear weak, fragile, and pitiful, with acting skills that could rival a top-tier celebrity.

Day after day, An Xun lay by Bo Xiangzhou’s side, calling him “husband” in a delicate voice. But when he met Bo Xiangzhou’s knowing smile, a shiver ran down his spine.

Had he… been found out?

An Xun, wrapped in his fragile disguise, continued to dance around Bo Xiangzhou’s boundaries.

At a banquet, he showed up looking pitiful and was subjected to harsh words from others. After dealing with them in a place where his husband couldn’t see, he turned around only to bump into Bo Xiangzhou.

Despite the undeniable evidence, Bo Xiangzhou firmly believed that his little liar was the one who had been mistreated.

Bo Xiangzhou, selectively blind: “My baby is an obedient sweetheart. There’s no way he’d hit anyone. If it did happen, he must’ve been forced.”

Bystanders: “Mr. Bo, can the surveillance footage lie? Who has ever seen a ‘good baby’ who curses like a sailor and hits as hard as a boxer?”

Cheng Xiaonan, a carefree and bold young man, unexpectedly entered her world.

The night breeze was gentle, and the starry sky was dazzling.

The young man’s eyes held only her reflection, but she left without saying goodbye out of fear.

Seven years later, they meet again by chance.

This time, Cheng Xiaonan doesn’t give her the chance to run away.

Under the dim glow of the streetlights and the bright moonlight,

he gazes at her silently and makes a heartfelt wish—

“I hope that Yu Qian will forever stay by my side, forever remain in my heart.”

Cheng Xiaonan had a girlfriend outside of school, who drove a red sports car and was both beautiful and fearless.

His friends advised him: “Brother Nan, no matter how wild we are, we’re still students. You can’t handle a woman from the real world!”

Cheng Xiaonan responded nonchalantly: “Just for fun.”

Not long after, Cheng Xiaonan was indeed dumped.

He still smiled with his usual aloofness: “It was just for fun.”

However, the next day, his friend witnessed Cheng Xiaonan with bloodshot eyes: “She went to pursue her Ph.D. at Stanford University in Germany.”

Friend: “?? Wait... isn’t Stanford in the U.S.?”

Yu Qian smiled seductively and pointed to her temple: “I was in a car accident a few years ago.”

Cheng Xiaonan assumed Yu Qian had lost her memory and decided to pursue her again.

As he pursued her, he discovered that the “accident” she mentioned…

She is radiant and unrestrained, like a th**ny rose—prickly yet alluring. He accidentally stumbles into her rose garden, intoxicated by its fragrance. Despite knowing the thorns could hurt him, he can’t resist the temptation.

With one step forward, he falls completely under her spell.

---

[EXCERPT] To make the most of the private jet, D-grade diamond, and designer handbags Jiang Yanzhou bought her, Song Zhi devoted herself to staying by his side, playing the role of his favorite delicate flower.

That is, until the legendary "white moonlight" returned—

A proper, genuine delicate flower.

In no time, Song Zhi became the laughingstock of high society.

"Just a small-time actress from humble beginnings, dreaming of marrying into wealth, only to realize she was nothing more than a substitute."

Without hesitation, Song Zhi cut up the supplementary card Jiang Yanzhou gave her and sent him a preemptive message: "Let's break up, you dog!"

Then she turned on her heel and left, finally free to focus on her career.

At the prestigious acting awards ceremony, Song Zhi wore an eight-figure custom haute couture gown, Valentino heels, and dazzling diamond earrings.

During the interview, the media asked about her rumored boyfriend: "We heard that Jiang Yanzhou, the president of Shenhuan Group, is your boyfriend?"

Song Zhi smiled with three parts composure and seven parts elegance: "Jiang Yanzhou? Who’s that?"

The next day, the usually low-profile President Jiang of Shenhuan Group made a rare appearance for an interview. Gone was his typical cold, rational, and aloof demeanor.

He humbly pleaded with her: "Can we… not break up?"

In reality, he’s ‘just’ a cat-person.

No expressions, no words, always looks grumpy?

That’s because he’s a cat.

Extremely hates when plans go wrong?

That’s because he’s a cat.

Obsessed with his territory?

Of course. Cats are territorial animals.

Cats naturally create their own routines and plans,

And get irritated when those aren’t followed.

So this typical Northern Duke is just…

Simply a very ordinary cat.

But only his aide Ruan knows this truth.

When you keep expressing yourself in cat language, humans misunderstand because they don’t understand…”

“I didn’t become an aide to clean up cat hair! I quit!”

Finally losing patience, Ruan shouted while throwing the lint roller. The Duke, watching Ruan, opened his mouth.

Luo Tangtang was unexpectedly bound by a System!... more>>

The System wanted her to transmigrate into an old-fashioned dogblood novel to save the female lead, who was treated as a substitute and tormented and humiliated in every way.

The female lead was exceptionally talented and beautiful, the senior disciple sister of the sect.

But she was treated as a substitute by the master who raised her since childhood, coveted fiercely by the Demon Lord, and drugged by a demon dragon disguised as a sect senior brother. Furthermore, following the events involving the demon dragon, the very junior sister she trusted and had protected since childhood exposed the matter.

He opens his eyes, holding the confidential documents in his hand.

Facing him is the cold CEO, Yu Congyan. The two are in the bedroom, staring at each other.

With both human and material evidence present, the man in front of him remains gentle, yet his eyes are icy enough to kill: "Wanwan, your younger brother said you were going to steal my contract. Why would you betray my trust?"

The system comes online at this moment: [Host, please immediately admit your mistake and beg for forgiveness to achieve the ab*sed ending, and then you can return to the original world!]

Xia Wansheng immediately closes his eyes, hearing nothing.

Stealing trade secrets? How much compensation? How many years in prison?

Damn it, even after transmigrating, I still have to deal with this hateful capitalist. Returning to the original world? I'd rather just die!

He turns and opens the window, immediately ready to jump.

Yu Congyan's pupils quake: ??！？

No! I was just asking if you stole my contract to pressure you into admitting it, do you have to prove your innocence like this?!?!?

****

Everyone says Yu Congyan's canary is excessively fierce, daring to slap his face in this way.

At a c*cktail party, a scheming green tea bit*h provokes him, deliberately splashing a whole glass of red wine on Xia Wansheng's white shirt. The surrounding people gasp.

Xia Wansheng is expressionless, very calm.

——This shirt cost 88,000. Will the overbearing CEO pinch his chin and ask if he can afford to compensate?

Can——not——afford.

Better to die!

Xia Wansheng comfortingly pats the green tea female supporting character on the shoulder, calmly grabs a dinner knife from the table, and prepares to end himself.

Yu Congyan, rushing over to seize the knife, his eyes splitting: Who provoked him again?!

The scheming green tea is shocked: I just splashed some wine!! This is definitely extortion!!

****

Ever since his innocence was questioned, Xia Wansheng hasn't smiled, as if he has lost all desire for everything.

Yu Congyan's heart aches. He thinks, Xia Wansheng probably really loves him deeply, to be unable to bear even a shred of slander and suspicion.

Faced with repeated framing by the green tea receiver and business rivals, Yu Congyan only rubs his temples with a headache and says in a deep voice:

"He is innocent, he just loves me too much."

“?”

Until Yu Congyan finally proposes to Xia Wansheng, presenting a diamond ring worth hundreds of millions, gentle and affectionate: "Wanwan, I saw your sadness, I won't let you get hurt again, marry me."

Xia Wansheng is silent for a long while: "...Marry you? Does that mean you'll always be on top?"

Xia Wansheng's gaze moves downwards.

He abruptly stands up and pushes open the window.

Xia Wansheng: I can't handle this, I'm going to die now.
