When Muxi encountered that female zerg in the underground district,... more>>

The female zerg was covered in blood and was in a miserable state. Its pair of heterochromatic eyes stared blankly at him, reminding him of his exotic pet cat at home.

But how could an exotic pet cat be this dirty?

Muxi wanted to clean up the female zerg, so he bought it.

Later, Muxi discovered that the other party was actually a ferocious large beast, nothing like his perception of a purebred cat.

As he looked at the female zerg beside him, carefully retracting its claws and bone wings, Muxi hesitated:

Should he throw away this zerg he had personally trained?

Shi’an turned back, “Male Lord, are you going to wear your pajamas?”

“Yes.” Muxi kicked away the bone wings that had wrapped around him to protect his robe.

Shi’an: “?!!”

Shi’an stretched his body, displaying his strong, rippling muscles, “Male Lord, the pajamas aren’t warmer than I am.”

Muxi: “……” That’s true.

Gu Rong was the heir of the Xiao Royal Residence. Tired of family strife, he gave up a bright future that was within easy reach and retreated to the mountains of Jiangnan for a semi-hermit, semi-reclusive life of self-cultivation.... more>>

Unfortunately, he didn’t end up becoming much of a hermit but instead met a young gentleman with similar ideals and exceptional eloquence.

The two of them spent their days brewing tea and playing chess in the mountains, discussing everything from the Hundred Schools of Thought to the grand affairs of the world, from astronomy and geography to profound philosophies. Eventually, one thing led to another, and their discussions ended up in bed.

Their bodies were perfectly in sync and as they slept together more and more, emotions inevitably followed.

So, they agreed to spend their lives happily in that mountain cottage, to grow old together as a pair of immortal lovers.

But the good times didn’t last.

A year later, the old emperor fell critically ill and the court’s situation took a sharp turn. A letter came in haste from the Xiao Royal Residence, summoning Gu Rong back to take charge and do everything possible to prevent the rumored cruel and increasingly powerful crown prince from ascending the throne.

Gu Rong couldn’t abandon his family. He looked at his gentle lover, sound asleep beside him, and could only leave behind a breakup letter and slip away.

***

Xi Rong was the current crown prince. He had grown up amidst blood and storms, and once, while escaping an assassination attempt, he accidentally entered the mountains and met a stunningly beautiful man.

They had a wonderful connection and after much effort, he managed to win the beauty over, spending every day entangled with him in deep intimacy.

But fate is fickle.

News broke that the old emperor had been assassinated. His brothers were all eyeing the throne hungrily, each wanting to seize it for himself.

Xi Rong had no choice but to think seriously about returning to court.

Just as he was fretting over how to convince his mountain-loving beauty to go back with him, he woke up one day to find that the beauty had left him a breakup letter first.

Xi Rong: Heh. <<less

The Once-Powerful Duke’s Household Has Fallen!... more>>

The only remaining young master, Shen Xuan, was taken back to Yunshui Village by his wet nurse. He accidentally fell into the water and became a half-witted little fool!

Without the Duke's Mansion as his backing, Shen Xuan became a burden living under someone else's roof. He was tormented by the wet nurse's Wang family, his skin rough and dark, living worse than a beggar!

People in the village all said that a ger like Shen Xuan wasn’t even good enough for the old bachelors in the village!

Unexpectedly, in his eighteenth year, people from the Xue family of the Marquisate, who hadn't been heard from in many years, suddenly arrived.

They presented a marriage contract, declaring that Shen Xuan had been betrothed to Xue family's eldest son, Xue Fenglin, in his childhood, and they were here to take him back for the wedding!

***

Xue Fenglin, the elegant and distinguished young master, was actually being forced to marry a foolish ger!

Countless noble daughters and gers in the capital had their hearts broken!

Everyone knew that the current Marquiss’ wife was not Xue Fenglin’s biological mother and had been at odds with him for years.

Clearly, she had dug up this marriage agreement with a “foolish ger” just to humiliate him!

Facing this arranged marriage set by his birth mother when she was alive, a glint flashed in Xue Fenglin's eyes, but no emotion could be seen on his face.

He made time to go to the separate courtyard, quietly circling to the back of Shen Xuan's room. He was just about to poke a hole in the window paper to secretly peek at this little ger-

Creak—

The window opened from inside. Shen Xuan, clutching a small bundle, was halfway out the window when he bump into Xue Fenglin, terror written all over his face!

Xue Fenglin: ...

Shen Xuan, who was about to sneak away: ...

***

After falling into the water, Shen Xuan’s soul had transmigrated to the modern world, where he was raised with love and care by wealthy, prestigious parents and even graduated from a top university.

When Shen Xuan woke up, he found himself transmigrated back again, and was about to be used as a tool for a family power struggle! And marry the young master of the Xue family!

Shen Xuan: Being single is great. Actually, Young Master, you don't necessarily have to marry me...

Xue Fenglin: The marriage contract is proof, it's a match made by our parents and the matchmaker. You are my fiancé!​ <<less

The ugly blacksmith in Liuxi Village married a delicate and beautiful man.

The morning after their wedding, Qingyan, sore all over and weak, clung dependently to the man. With his fair and fragrant fingers, he delicately touched his scarred face.

Qiu Henian stiffened all over, dodging as he turned his face away.

“You should wash your face first…”

Qingyan softly lay on him, his breath fragrant like orchids, “I want my husband to wipe it for me.”

The little husband was so pure and delicate, and Qiu Henian was worried that he would be bullied, almost wanting to pin him to his belt.

Until one day, he was anxious to go back to see his husband and closed the door of his shop early and went home.

Qiu Henian heard that the pitiful young husband, who dared not speak loudly and trembled at the sight of strangers, was arguing loudly over the fence with the neighbors.

“You must have lacked great virtue in your past life to marry such a useless ugly man!”

“F*ck your dad’s bullshit, your man is useless! My man does it seven times a night, I’m so damn happy!”

Bang!

Qiu Henian stumbled and fell, crashing through the gate.

Qingyan turned to look, guilt written all over his face.

Qiu Henian strode over, picked up his husband, and walked back into the house.

Qingyan was uneasy, “What are you doing?”

Qiu Henian replied, “Going back inside to do it seven times a night, but it’s too late and there’s not enough time.”

Qingyan: “…” <<less

When Qiao Le was 18, his father committed su*cide by jumping off a building after a failed investment, and his mother disappeared without a trace.... more>>

To support himself and his younger brother, he dropped out of school and started delivering food during the day, working at a bar at night, and picking up part-time gigs on his days off.

One day, while working at the bar, he accidentally drank a spiked drink and ended up having a drunken one-night stand with Shen Hechuan, someone he’d only met twice before.

To deal with pressure from his family to get married, Shen Hechuan offered Qiao Le a marriage contract—ten million in exchange for a marriage on paper.

After the contract marriage, Qiao Le happily took the money and returned to school, thinking that once the contract ended, they’d just go their separate ways.

What he didn’t expect was that at their engagement banquet, a bowl of “tonic soup” ended up with him and Shen Hechuan rolling into bed again.

Even more unexpected—two months later, he found out he was pregnant.

The marriage between He Yang and Lu Tingfeng is on the verge of collapse. Lu Tingfeng does not love him—his heart belongs to an unforgettable white moonlight. No matter how hard He Yang tries, he cannot make Lu Tingfeng fall in love with him.

Battered and broken, He Yang kneels before Lu Tingfeng and pleads, “I don’t want anything anymore. I just beg you to let me go. I’ll disappear far away and never get in your way again.”

…Three years later, He Yang returns to the capital with a three-year-old child in tow.

Lu Tingfeng, now utterly deranged with regret, clings to He Yang relentlessly.

“Laopo, I was wrong. You can scold me or hit me—whatever makes you happy.”

“Laopo, here’s my card, the password, and my car keys. Everything I have is yours.”

“Laopo, I’ve been sleeping on the sofa for a month… Can I share the bed with you for just one night?”

“Laopo, can we discuss raising my allowance a little?”

The Lu family was poor in their early years and sent a child away. ... more>>

Eighteen years later, both brothers reached the age where they could start looking for marriage matches.

The older brother has a strong-willed personality, and the hunter his family arranged for him to marry is also stubborn. When they met for the first time, they clashed immediately, banging tables and glaring at each other, nearly getting into a fight over who would be in charge of the household. He thought, "If only I could call off this engagement."

The younger brother has a soft and gentle personality, and the scholar’s family his family arranged for him to marry is known for being "a meat bun"—they’ve gathered a group of relatives like wolves, all difficult to deal with. Just seeing them from afar scares him. He sighed, "If only I could call off this engagement."

By chance, the two brothers meet and decide to switch their marriage arrangements.

The older brother wears wedding clothes and enters the scholar's house. On the day of the wedding, there’s a noisy wedding prank. The weak scholar awkwardly shields him, but is shoved and hits his head.

Older brother: ???

"He’s going to be the top scholar, what are you people doing?!"

The younger brother covers his face with a veil and enters the hunter’s home. That night, he waits obediently and shyly for the wedding night. But the hunter glares at him coldly and sneers, "Stop pretending."

As soon as the words leave his mouth, the young husband’s eyes turn red, "Why are you acting like this right after we got married?"

Hunter: ???

"Is something wrong with you?"

Everyone knew that the Xie family couldn’t stand up for themselves. The whole family was soft and could be trampled by anyone. No one had any grudges against them, but anyone could spit in front of their door just because they weren’t in a good mood.

From that day onward, no one dared to do that anymore.

Xie Yan's husband could beat people up!

And as for the Li family, who everyone thought would argue and fight until they broke up, they now have warm meals on a heated kang every day.

People were curious whether his fiery husband had been beaten to death.

When they quietly went to check, they saw Li Feng gently coaxing the person, "I was wrong, don’t cry..."

Lowell slowly opened his eyes. ... more>>

The first thing he saw was someone’s broad chest.

Still groggy from sleep, he instinctively reached out, his hand grazing the firm surface.

Even in his hazy state, he couldn’t help but give it a few experimental squeezes before his gaze drifted up to the familiar black hair.

He gently stroked it, the way he would with a lover.

‘But there’s no way he’d have a chest like this. Besides, we’ve been broken up for ages.’

As his senses returned, Lowell glanced around, piecing together his surroundings.

Yeocheong, an inconspicuous prince of the Song Empire, was attending his first banquet and happened to meet Jihyuk, the crown prince of the Yeon Kingdom. They only had a short, trivial conversation, but strange rumours began to spread…... more>>

“Seventh Prince, it seems that you’ve developed feelings for the Crown Prince of Yeon. This emperor is not so narrow-minded as to dismiss the romantic feelings of a child.”

Eventually, Yeocheong was married to Jihyuk on the Emperor’s orders. But once they became husband and wife, Jihyuk remained cold and distant.

“I apologise for my improper behaviour that forced you into an unwanted marriage…”

“There is no need for such thoughts. It was a marriage that had to happen anyway.”

From a prince with no presence to a queen in disgrace with his king, Yeocheong decided to live a meaningless life. But for reasons unknown, Jihyuk began to approach him with unexpected tenderness.

“Because I love you… I think it would be good if time stopped here.”

But their happiness was short-lived, as Jihyuk’s behaviour suddenly changed.

His Highness never intended to have an heir with him in the first place.

You see, when an Omega drinks this, he can’t conceive for the time it takes to work.

What Yeocheong had received from Jihyuk was not love, but deception.

“You said… you loved me.”

“Did you believe that? Those moments may have been happy for you, but for me… well…”

In the end, abandoned by Jihyuk, Yeocheong met his death.

* * *

However, for unknown reasons, Yeocheong opened his eyes again in the past. This time he decided to live a different life and never get involved with Jihyuk again. But for some reason, Jihyuk started to show a different side than in their past lives.

“We must be more familiar with each other’s touch than anyone else’s. Isn’t that right?”

* This story contains dark and disturbing themes, including non-consensual acts, manipulation, and morally grey, scheming characters. *... more>>

Ji-cheong, who had cherished a forbidden love for the Emperor for a long time, struggled with emotions he wasn’t allowed to have. As a general of the imperial army—tasked with protecting the empire’s highest authority—such feelings were unacceptable. But when the Empress discovered his secret, everything changed. Ji-cheong, cornered and desperate, drew his sword and killed her.

Later, Ji-cheong was arrested, branded a traitor, and tortured. When confronted by the Emperor himself and asked about the incident, he gave a false confession—claiming he had tried to r*pe the Empress. He accepted his fate, preparing himself for execution. But instead of dying, Ji-cheong lost consciousness and awoke in an unfamiliar palace, surrounded by a fence of thorns.

“Don’t run away from me… You chose me, Yerak.”

Cheong’s fingertips trembled with fear. But the Emperor didn’t retaliate with cruelty. Instead, he brought Cheong’s fingers to his lips, bit into them, and s**ked the blood without hesitation. He didn’t seem disturbed by the taste or the blood on his hands. Then, as if releasing his anger, he bit the back of Cheong’s neck—chewing the skin.

His body, muscular and stiff, didn’t ease the Emperor’s excitement. On the contrary, he became more aroused. His eyes flushed red with desire, and an intense thirst overtook him. Cheong’s hair, soaked with blood and sweat, clung to his nape. The Emperor gently combed his fingers through it and placed a kiss on the wound he had created. Blood began to stain the corners of his lips, like flower water.

“Huh… haah, ah, ugh…”

Time lost meaning. Cheong’s strength slowly faded as the pain overtook him. His mind began to blur as he swayed with the Emperor’s movements.

“Cheong, you should know your place, don’t forget—I’m the only one meant for you. Without me, you’re nothing.”

The Emperor gave a faint smile. As Cheong’s consciousness dimmed, he heard a soft whisper echo in the darkness:

“Then why did you make me do this?" <<less

Zhao Mian, the Prince of Nanjing, had an encounter with a stranger while he was on a secret incognito visit. Both of them were simultaneously poisoned, and the poison would be released every month on the night of the full moon. ... more>>

They had to engage in a deep conversation in order to survive.

The Crown Prince, who was powerful, handsome, and splendid, stared at the unremarkable face of the stranger, and through gritted teeth, he declared, "I can be killed by my elders, but I will not be humiliated."

The stranger was perplexed and asked, "I have no issue with you being proud, but why are you pointing a sword at me?"

Zhao Mian sneered and replied, "I would rather kill you than suffer humiliation."

The stranger tried to calm the situation and suggested, "Let's not get agitated. We can talk after I remove my disguise."

When the stranger took off their disguise, they were no longer a mere passerby, which alleviated Zhao Mian's anger to some extent. Despite their reluctance, both of them cursed and engaged in a profound conversation before the release of the poison.

Later, when Zhao Mian ascended the throne, a neighboring country sent Ambassador Wei Zhenfeng to congratulate him.

In the grand hall, Wei Zhenfeng's eyes sparkled under the clear moonlight as he greeted, "Your Majesty, I hope you are in good health."

Zhao Mian absentmindedly touched his slightly swollen belly and fell into deep contemplation.

During the full moon feast for the eldest prince, Wei Zhenfeng arrived uninvited, seething with anger, yet still maintaining a smile.

He exclaimed, "I returned home for a brief period, and Your Majesty already has a child? Your betrayal truly caught me off guard."

Zhao Mian responded disdainfully, "Everyone in this world belongs to me. How can I be confined to one person? Someone, remove this ungrateful man from Beiyuan."

Qiao Suiman’s family was poor, with little land—but it didn’t matter. He knew how to make fragrant drinks, and that meant he could earn money.

After a dangerous encounter in the mountains, he was rescued by Lu Dongqing, who happened to be there as well. Though the man looked fierce, Qiao Suiman soon realized he was actually kind-hearted.

Later, when they ended up selling goods at the same market, Qiao Suiman discovered Lu Dongqing’s exceptional bamboo craftsmanship. His carved bamboo cups were even more beautiful than those sold in town shops.

Perilla drinks, peach blossom drinks, osmanthus drinks… The business boomed. Along the way, Lu Dongqing’s heart became completely devoted to Qiao Suiman… though the oblivious Qiao Suiman remained unaware.

After winning first place in a competition, Lu Dongqing, face red, handed Qiao Suiman the prize and confessed: “I adore you.”

Qiao Suiman was stunned. “I thought we were just business partners, but you want to marry me?!”

Lu Dongqing sighed inwardly. What to do when your beloved is this dense?

But one day, Yue Lin woke up to find that his beloved had disappeared without a trace.

Yue Lin searched every corner of both the divine and demonic realms, only to unintentionally discover that his beloved was seated high on a nine-foot platform, dressed in pure white robes, gracefully leading a lecture on the Dao, exuding utmost dignity and elegance. It turns out that his beloved was actually the most righteous and esteemed Immortal Lord of the Daoist sects.

However, this beautiful Immortal Lord looked at him with an unfamiliar expression, not remembering his name or who he was.

Chu Hanjin, after emerging from seclusion, was already the most revered and respected Immortal Lord within the Daoist sects. Now, with his virtues and position at their peak, his grace and elegance were unmatched.

But just when he was ready to take on the great responsibilities, he suddenly discovered signs of life stirring within his body—yet he had no idea whose child he was carrying.

One day, as he was feeling dizzy from his pregnancy symptoms, the unfamiliar Demon Lord appeared before him.

Filled with shame and anger, Chu Hanjin refused to admit he was pregnant.

The Demon Lord, with a smirk, teasingly said, “Indeed, you’re not pregnant with a child.”

“What you’re carrying is your inner demon.”

— Your inner demon, who has been your partner day and night, bound to you as husband and wife.

The overly possessive gong who would crawl out of a coffin just to see his wife x The shou who is confused about who this man is but can’t figure out why he’s pregnant with his child

This is not some typical melodrama or dog-blood angst! It’s just a playful story about a mischievous Heavenly Demon constantly whispering flirtatious things into his wife’s ear, and then lovingly massaging his pregnant wife’s swollen feet. It’s a sweet and fluffy tale about raising their child together! <<less

He was brought back to his country by his elder brother because of the sudden death of their parents and then temporarily handed over to be in care of Song Zhixu. Lin Ran is very obedient, he can wash the dishes, do the laundry and mop the floor every day as well as very carefully try to please and curry favor with Song Zhixu, afraid that even Song Zhixu also doesn’t want him anymore, then like that, he would really have nowhere to go.... more>>

*Song Zhixu recently brought home a little fool. The little fool blinked his innocent eyes and wore his white shirt, showing off his two slender white legs all day long, dangling in front of him all day long, tickling his heart. But again, this was a little fool that his friend had entrusted to him and to be under his care, so he always kept ahold of his feelings.

It was only on a misty night, with the influence of alcohol that he finally couldn’t hold back and ‘bullied’ him. The little fool was pregnant and still had to do chores for him with his big belly. Shedding tears if he didn’t allow him to do so, therefore Song Zhixu could only go along with him.

When Lin Ran was cleaning, he found a metal box under the bed, full of his big brother’s things and the pictures of his big brother and Song Zhixu. Although he was s*upid, he understood when he saw his face in the mirror which resembled his big brother. Lin Ran held his stomach and cried for a long time before he finally packed his bags up and ran away from home.

Until the time when Song Zhixu rushed back home from work, Lin Ran who usually waited obediently for him to come home, that little fool with such a big belly, how could he just disappear like this? <<less
