Abstinence, mature and gentle dad-type Alpha × rebellious and defiant Omega... more>>

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?”

An Xun, clutching his husband’s sleeve: Feeling guilty… <<less

This volume features two interconnected stories about love in its most complicated forms.... more>>

The first follows a student and his teacher, bound by a secret relationship that quietly pushes against the boundaries of what's allowed, and what's left unsaid.

The second centers on Kakegawa, a university student nursing a broken heart, who ends up entangled with an older man whose sharp tongue and difficult nature are as striking as his good looks. What begins as a purely physical arrangement starts to shift into something neither of them anticipated.

Both stories capture the awkwardness, tension, and vulnerability that come with falling in love — especially when it’s with someone you probably shouldn’t.

Perfect for readers who enjoy younger seme, emotionally messy dynamics, and romances that evolve from distance to unexpected intimacy. <<less

In his last life, he was a superstar that dominated the entertainment circle. In this life, he is a rebellious second generation wastrel.... more>>

Confronting the aunt and uncle who wants to seize the family property and getting rid of those slag friends who only know how to eat and drink…

Rong Xu: To not speak out means to perish in the silence!

From starting out as a third-rate celebrity, he had to rely on his own efforts to rise to the top of the entertainment circle, aspiring to once again sit on the throne!

Seok Mun-pyeong, the 3rd Team Leader of the Soul-Slaying Unit—one of the most peripheral posts in the entire Demonic Cult—didn't think much of it when the War of the Demonic Dragons, the contest to select the cult's next successor, was suddenly canceled. Even the outlandish news that the Cult Leader, a figure revered as the sky above the sky, had accomplished Rejuvenation was just a distant rumor to him.... more>>

He never imagined that this monumental event would become a fire dropped squarely on his own feet.

“Naturally, I’m not asking you to perform the standard duties of a Majeong. As you well know, you are not suited for such work. The role I have for you is something different. I want you to be His shadow, and at the same time, His tail.”

'No way... when he says 'Him,' does he mean the 'Him' I'm thinking of?'

Seok Mun-pyeong was thrown into confusion. It sounded like madness, but the official's expression was dead serious. A chill began to creep down his spine.

'So, a Demonic Shadow is 'His' shadow, and I'm supposed to be both the shadow and the tail? A 'tail' means to track and report on His movements... Is he really ordering me to spy on the supreme Cult Leader?!'

“...Me?” <<less

The protagonist shou, Xie Sui, was a proud son of heaven. He had an illustrious family background, was cold and removed from desire, and attracted many (psychopathic) admirers. From the gentle senior to the paranoid president, to the haughty and proud arch-enemy, these big guys were all top leaders of their respective fields, yet they were all crazy about him.... more>>

After pushing him down a series of mentally and physically abusive paths, the three of them decided to join hands to destroy the Xie Family, imprison Xie Sui, crush his pride, and turn him into a pet that could only rely on them.

While the crowd of readers howled “Wuwuwu the feels~”.

Song Yu was already so angry he was going crazy. Not wanting to read any more of this eye-searingly bad novel, he cursed, “Idiots.” and hurried offline.

As a result, when he woke up, he’d transmigrated.

He’d transmigrated to become the Third Young Master of the Song Family in the novel, who had only been briefly mentioned in passing, would die of a terminal illness, and was Xie Sui’s childhood friend.

Song Yu was terribly upset. At the same time, he’d already come to a decision in his heart––those three idiots, had better not think about wanting to get close to his little childhood friend!

Xie Sui was born cold-hearted. In two lifetimes, he’d never tasted the sweetness of love, nor had he ever experienced the feeling of being protected.

After destroying three big families and personally killing his enemies, he was reborn back to when he was 15 years old. He had to hide the violence and coldness in his heart and pretend to be the youth with a gentle and clean appearance that he’d been in the past.

Everything was the same as before, except that the little childhood friend who was nothing but a vague memory in his previous life was exceptionally different this time.

Like the spring breeze that thawed the frozen soil, someone reached into the abyss and grabbed his blood-stained hand.

Song Yu tore apart a love confession letter like he was venting and fumed, “Don’t pay attention to those people, don’t believe in their sweet words. They’re all scum, and their love is worthless. Don’t like them, okay?”

Xie Sui gazed at him for a long time, then laughed, “Alright, I don’t like them.”

I only like you.

Pairing: Rebirthed Gong x Transmigrator Shou <<less

Shen Liuxiang stayed up all night reading a novel about a white lotus protagonist shou and his easy road to power. Having finished it, he thumped his chest and stomped his foot in unhappiness. ... more>>

In the novel, there was a villainous shizun who shared his name.

He was as beautiful as a flower, but would rather ruin his own looks to imitate others.

He was infatuated with the Bingshan Sword Venerable, who had his heart set on the protagonist shou. Foolish and shameless, he continued to entangle with and chase after the other.

He severed his connection to his father, the Venerable Emperor, and renounced his ties to his senior brother in the Sect. He fought to the death with his blood brother, the Demon Venerable.

For the Sword Venerable, he was even willing to get rid of his toughest rival-in-love—his own disciple, who would later become number one in the cultivation world!

After going to sleep, Shen Liuxiang woke up to find himself transmigrated as the villain Shizun in the book.

"Strive to look like the protagonist shou? Wake up, this immortal is the most beautiful in the world!"

"Sword Venerable, who? Is he stronger than my father, the Venerable Emperor?! Is he more handsome than my senior brother in the Sect?! Is he fiercer than my blood brother, Demon Venerable?!”

Facing the protagonist's greatest backer in the future, Zhou Xuanlan, Shen Liuxiang decided to grab onto the opportunity, seize his good fortune, and stifle the danger in the cradle.

However, his disciple was too well-behaved.

"All spiritual treasures in heaven and on earth belong to Shizun. All ancient relics belong to Shizun. This disciple also belongs to Shizun."

Shen Liuxiang: "...Alright, I’ll give you a chance QAQ"

Initially an indifferent shizun, Shen Liuxiang slowly became fiercely protective of his disciple. His disciple, in turn, was upright, righteous, and increasingly loyal towards him. However, right at this time, Shen Liuxiang miscalculated. The Zhou Xuanlan from the original novel had returned!

"Shizun has changed so much," the man spoke with a dangerous air, hugging him from behind, the low voice resounding right beside his ear, “but I like it very much."

Shen Liuxiang cried. He wanted his obedient disciple back! <<less

“Master, the people from the Zhuang family have come to cancel the engagement.”... more>>

“My fiancé whose beauty was said to be capable of causing the downfall of a city, finally decided to throw me away?”

“I think so.”

“I want to see this legendary beauty, and confirm whether this bastard is really great as people say, to have no flaws in all 360 degrees, a picturesque appearance however you look at him; does he need me to help him open the corner of his eyes (Epicanthoplasty) or reshape his chin (Genioplasty)?”

“Actually, he didn’t come.”

“He didn’t? He didn’t even come to cancel the engagement? What a wicked b*tch.”

“He definitely will get karma.” <<less

I became a side-character who died in anguish because of her good-for-nothing husband.... more>>

If I can’t avoid getting married, why don’t I change who I marry instead?

“Excellent, marriage sounds good.”

“Wise choice. Then let’s have a wedding ceremony that isn’t too ceremonious. Following that, I’ll need you to go down to the Fief and behave like the lady of the house until I call for you. Naturally, there won’t be any time to spend in leisure whilst dousing yourself in luxuries."

"I’m not marrying you, but your father instead."

“......Pardon?"

Today, I am a substitute for your fiancee. Tomorrow, I’ll become your sister-in-law!... more>>

Mu Mingtang is the substitute of the male lead’s first love. After she lost her family, she was adopted by the Jiang family and eventually became engaged to the male lead, the Prince of Jin.

Understanding very well that she was only a substitute, she removed her claws and fangs and turned herself into an imitation of the Prince of Jin’s first love. She couldn’t speak or laugh as she wished, she was prepared to live in the shadow of another woman for her entire life… until one day, the real Miss Jiang returned.

The real Miss Jiang was reborn. When she learned that she was the male lead’s first love, she immediately returned to fight for her engagement and identity.

In order to please his first love, the Prince of Jin gave the substitute to the Prince of Qiyang, who had become a dying madman. She was just a low-quality fake, anyway. If she dared to anger his first love, he would turn her into a childless and powerless widow for the rest of her life.

Mu Mingtang, the target of their mockery, finally snapped: Okay, since you gave me to another man, I’ll make you bow and call me sister-in-law!

However, none of them expected the Prince of Qiyang, the God of War, to actually wake up!

Xie Xuanchen is the son of the late emperor. The whole world once trembled beneath his feet, but one day, for a reason unknown to even Xie Xuanchen himself, his nature suddenly changed. He became cruel and bloodthirsty, leaving his father with no choice but to pass the throne to his uncle.

Eventually, Xie Xuanchen was unable to resist the illness and fell into a coma.

When he woke up again, there was a beauty standing before his bed, looking at him in surprise. Then, for the sake of his domineering little princess, he revived his name as the God of War, reclaimed the throne, and united the world.

I once captured the world to satisfy my own ambition. Now, you are the reason for my ambition. <<less

Xie Ruan wakes up to find that he is living inside a school-themed BL novel.... more>>

And he is merely a brainless cannon fodder who is obsessed with the main character gong, doomed to jump off a building at a young age and die tragically.

Xie Ruan: “...” Slip away, slip away.

———

After discovering the truth about the world, Xie Ruan has only two wishes:

To study hard and save Bo Jin, the academic god from the original novel who was fated to commit su*cide on the rooftop.

He watched Bo Jin carefully, determined to prevent him from getting anywhere near the rooftop again.

But as time goes on, something started to feel off…

Bo Jin: “Long holiday, bored at home. Come over and do homework with me.”

Xie Ruan: “Not coming.”

Bo Jin: “Oh, then I guess I’ll go to the rooftop.”

Xie Ruan: “...you come back, I’m coming!”

Bo Jin: “Are you mad at me? Ignoring me?”

Xie Ruan: “Get lost!”

Bo Jin: “Alright, I’ll go reflect on the rooftop.”

Xie Ruan: “...you come back, I’m not mad anymore!”

Q: What do you do when everyone thinks you're going to jump off a building?

A: Thanks for asking. I’m in college now and already tricked my 'wife' into my hand. <<less

Xu Mo transmigrated into a book, thinking that if he followed the plot, the dog system would send him back to his original world. In the end, he realized he had overthought things.... more>>

[Hey, why is Shen Manni, the female lead, acting strange? Shouldn't she be fawning over the male lead at this point?]

[Zhou Qiaoqiao, are you sick? Weren't you supposed to break off your engagement today?]

[Damn it! An Youyi, please do your job as an undercover agent and sell my information to the protagonist, you idiot!]

...

At this moment, Xu Mo himself didn't know that these female leads had already heard his inner thoughts.

Then they decided not to play by the rules.

Xu Mo: Please respect my profession as the big villain! <<less

Lin Yi lived to thirty-five years old in his previous life. He became famous when he was young and was arrogant by nature. He sang and acted well. He died just as he was about to win various awards.... more>>

When he opened his eyes again, Lin Yi was in the interstellar era and has become a fragile omega that can be easily deceived and has lost their fertility.

At the Star Network press conference, a reporter cited Qin Nuo, the strongest Marshal of the Empire, as an example, contemptuously: “A low-grade omega like you can’t stand by the Marshal in this life, right?”

Lin Yi’s eyes drooped slightly, and his lips slowly opened: “Want to make a bet?” <<less

Yusuke Oyama and Yukina Himemiya are childhood friends. When they were young, they were inseparable; they always did everything together and even promised to get married someday. However, at some point, despite being physically close, they became distant, and this continued into their third year of high school.... more>>

One day, when Yusuke thought that their days would just continue like this, the two unexpectedly ran into each other at an unusual place: the maid cafe where Yusuke was a regular customer. To his surprise, Yukina was working there as a maid.

From that day on, Yukina began to interact with Yusuke in different places—at school, in the classroom, and even at the maid cafe. On top of that, Yusuke discovered that they were neighbors, despite him living alone, and Yukina started invading his space at home too; she dressed quite differently from how she looked at school.

Yusuke lamented that this must be a fateful bond orchestrated by the Gods.

However, could this really be blamed on the Gods…? <<less

Omega Lu Zhao, known as the “Eagle of the Emperor” in military circles, married Bai Li, a retired Alpha who lost a leg.... more>>

Overnight, the Imperial Forum erupted in controversy. Countless omega cried for their idol marrying the wasteful son, and numerous Alphas gnashed their teeth in jealousy over Bai Li marrying a formidable military figure.

This marriage was no longer a bouquet of flowers in a cow dung fields, but flowers stuck on concrete – lacking not only aesthetics but also the nourishment provided by cow dung. On the wedding day, Bai Li received the title of “Empire’s Concrete.”

Fortunately, Bai Li must be the most handsome piece of concrete.

Many years later, Bai Li attended Lu Zhao’s celebration party as a family member.

Reporter: “Mr. Bai, what do you think of others saying that you’re living off your partner?”

Bai Li: “Living off someone is really delicious.”

Reporter: “Mr. Bai, how do you respond to criticism that you allow your Omega partner to work outside and even participate in mecha battles?”

Bai Li: “Living off someone is really delicious.”

Reporter: “… Mr. Bai, do you have any dignity as an Alpha?”

Bai Li: “You people, you’re just upset because you can’t enjoy living off someone like me.”

Reporter: “Mr. Lu, what do you think of others saying that you are too strong and not docile?”

Lu Zhao: “I can fight, can’t help it.”

Reporter: “Mr. Lu, how do you respond to recent accusations from the outside world about you being too prominent?”

Lu Zhao: “i can fight, can’t help it.”

Reporter: “You can do this too?”

Lu Zhao: “Well, he didn’t want to eat, but I insisted he eat.”

The Dandy Prince x The Cold and Abstinent General.

Ryuuzen Yuki is going to kill someone.... more>>

Specifically, the three corrupt figures in the television industry who mu*dered his childhood friend. The need for revenge burns deep in Yuki’s soul. He is only able to keep sane by clinging to his three self-imposed rules for revenge:

No matter what happens, act alone.

Do not involve anyone other than your targets.

If you fail, admit your crimes without complaint.

The stage for Yuki’s revenge will be Kakuriyo Island, a small tidal island south of Kagoshima Prefecture whose population was wiped out long ago in the bizarre mass-mu*der incident known as “The Beast of Kakuriyo Island case”. Though officially solved, the Beast of Kakuriyo Island is still the subject of many unsolved mysteries, not the least of which is the sheer, inhuman brutality of the crimes.

A television production crew comes to Kakuriyo Island to film a true crime special in which Mikumo Echika, an up and coming singer-songwriter and the descendant of the island’s former head priestess, will visit her family’s former home and discuss the incident that claimed her birthright. Yuki, having infiltrated the production as an AD, plans to trap them all and kill all three of his targets on the island with his own two hands.

But his plans are derailed when his first target is slain – by something else. Burning with rage that one of the men who killed Naoko will never suffer for his crimes, Yuki vows to confront both the killer and the remaining victims.

But his new enemy isn’t a mere human. The Beast of Kakuriyo Island is very real, and if Yuki seeks to achieve his revenge, he must learn what it is, how it operates… and how he can work around it and still manage to get away with mu*der.

Jiang Shi is a gaming livestreamer with outstanding appearance and top-notch skills.... more>>

At the same time, he is also an extreme hand-con and face-con.

He simply has no resistance at all.

He once fell in love with someone online because of a close-up of his hand. He stayed up late every day after the livestream to use his secondary account to help his partner gain points.

The key is that he is also sweet-mouthed. In order to please his partner, he always calls him “Gege” and sounds very obedient.

But later, Jiang Shi forgets the password of his secondary account, and the relationship ends without success.

Having lost such a high-quality partner, Jiang Shi recorded his feelings on his secondary Weibo account with a look of melancholy.

[I have only called one person “Gege”, and he will be the only one I call that in the future.]

[His hands are so big, he should be able to hold my entire neck, right? Will he like to grab me?]

[His fingers are so long, and he can help me do many, many things.]

[I don’t know if my Gege prefers doing it from the front or behind…]

This sad mood lasted until Jiang Shi saw the photo of captain Xie Xu on the recently popular TLG team——

He is simply a heavenly dish!*)

Jiang Shi: I’m alive again.

Jiang Shi sneaks into the TLG team that night.

One time, when he is duo-queuing with Xie Xu, he sees the other party’s amazing teamfight capability with his support hero, and blurts out: “Gege is awesome!”

That day, Jiang Shi is punished with extra training.

In the silent and deserted training room, Jiang Shi is grabbed by the neck and forced to look up.

Xie Xu’s slender index finger brushes across his lips, his lips curve into a smile, “Who are you calling Gege?”

——

Xie Xu once had a boyfriend, but he disappeared a few days after he won him over.

He found a blank Weibo account through the other party’s QQ.**

After waiting for a long time, the other party started posting, using bold words. The last post read, “Gege, I’m here!”

Below is a photo of Xie Xu attached.

The next day, a newcomer comes to the team, and his voice is very similar to his little boyfriend.

He also pretended to be very obedient in front of him.

The newcomer copies the exact methods used during their past online relationship, trying to ensnare him bit by bit.

Xie Xu curls his lips and accepts it all without a hitch.

Finally, Xie Xu looked at the newcomer – eyes red and body trembling – circles his fingers, lowers his head, and chuckles directly against his ear,

“I prefer it from behind.”

I, Shen Hao Hao, was known in the village as a fierce woman.... more>>

The day I was divorced, I carried a kitchen knife, shaved my ex-mother-in-law’s head, and slaughtered the pig I had raised for a year.

But less than half a month after my divorce, a matchmaker came knocking at my door, bringing me a marriage proposal.

The man was a widower from the neighboring village. His wife had passed away five years ago.

He was a hunter, often venturing into the mountains for several days at a time. Whenever he went into the mountains, he worried about leaving his two children at home, so he wanted to find someone to help him take care of the children.

“His family only consists of him and his two children. Once you marry into his family, you will be the one in charge. Song Quan is also a considerate man; he will never let you suffer any grievances.”

After hearing the matchmaker’s words, I immediately agreed to the marriage. <<less

After the mother was attacked and disappeared, everyone in the Prime Minister Mansion only knew of Concubine Song, but not her mother, the honorable mistress. They only knew that there was only one Miss Nian in the mansion, and they did not know that there was also her, the only eldest young lady of the first wife.

The concubine took over her mother’s dowry and pretended to be rich and generous to win people’s hearts. The concubine-born younger sister, with the identity that belongs to Qin Yan, was mixed up like a fish in water in the circle of noble daughters in the capital, and she also intended to get involved with Qin Yan’s fiancé.

The people in Prime Minister Mansion thought that Qin Yan could only be at their mercy when she returned to the capital alone. However, they never thought that within a few days of returning to the capital, Qin Yan was granted the title of Princess of Zhaoren by the emperor and given a palace as the Princess Mansion.

When Qin Yan took back the dowry that belonged to her mother, only then did her father Prime Minister Qin and Concubine Song knew that Qin Yan was the owner of Yu Qingfeng, the first bank in Great Xia.

The City Master of Gu City, an important town outside the Northwest Pass, was known as the owner of Yu Qingfeng, the first bank in Great Xia which claimed to be able to reach half the national treasury.
