This is a story about a demon and a manga. ... more>>

Previously a human, Yuan Yuan Yuan had accidentally became a half-demon. As a half-demon, she abided by the rules of the demon realm, and wholeheartedly attempted to keep her identity as a half-demon under wraps.

However, her peaceful life came to a halt after that one night — she disguised herself and saved a human from a demon.

One week later, when she was flipping through her favourite manga that she had been following, she suddenly discovered that the plot contained a disconcertingly familiar sight.

A black haired demon… had saved a human from another demon…

With his extraordinary abilities, strikingly handsome, aristocratic face and enigmatic background, the male demon quickly rose in fame as a 2D fiction character. Yuan Yuan Yuan looked at the latest chapter of the manga, flabbergasted, before she decided to quietly chomp on some chips and choose to selectively close both eyes — none of this is real!

Soon, she realised there was a pattern to this. Ever since that night, there was a very high chance that the things she did would appear in the manga.

In fact, whatever occured in the manga were things that had happened in reality as well. Therefore, in order to stay alive, Yuan Yuan Yuan had to try her best to hide her identity

As time passed, those that were interested in such unsolved mysteries came to realise the uncanny similarities between the manga and reality, and the pattern that it appeared to follow. And so, they started searching for these 2D characters in the real world. <<less

To love someone deeply is to wish to imprison them with a golden lock.... more>>

When Duan Yelin first saw Xu Hang, he wanted to lock him up and hide his beauty in the golden house—in fact, he did so.

If he seized him by force, he is a robber; if he is being patient and indifferent, he will be meat in someone else's chopsticks.

Xu Hang was unwilling, but he wanted to live. There were still many things he had not done, so he finally entered Xiaotong Guan.

It's a long-standing battle.

Even after four years of entanglement, Xu Hang always seemed like a bowl of freshly brewed medicine, with a faint aroma, but only after drinking it could one know whether it was poison or antidote.

It was a long time later that Duan Yelin realized that what he had locked up was not a cold and arrogant golden sparrow but a cold and sharp golden hairpin. <<less

When Qin Yan was five years old, she left the capital with her mother and went to the Pingxi Army under the command of her grandfather, Duke of Zhenguo, in the Northwest. When she returned twelve years later, things were different.... more>>

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.

I was the Crown Prince's favored consort. He treated me exceptionally well, but what he didn’t know was that I was a spy from an enemy nation.... more>>

For three consecutive years, I secretly sent out intelligence.

Later, when the Crown Prince ascended the throne and wanted to make me Empress, I couldn’t hold back any longer and went to meet with my contact.

"There was no task about becoming Empress in the mission! When can I leave?"

My contact was dumbfounded: "Huh? The two nations made peace three years ago. You didn’t know?"

I was dumbfounded too. Then, who had I been sending all that intelligence to over the years?

Late at night, the Emperor held me tenderly and said, "My love, let me read you a bedtime story."

The more I listened to the story, the more alert I became.

Damn it, wasn’t this the intelligence report I had written?

The Emperor paused for a moment and said, "Oh, wrong one."

He slowly switched to another book: "Once upon a time, there was a mountain, and on the mountain, there was a temple..." <<less

Jing Li transmigrated to ancient times, becoming a rare koi fish with a unique koi buff that can quickly change the fortunes of those around him.... more>>

The little koi ended up in a remote mountain village, where he was picked up by the village’s most famous sickly person.

The sickly man, named Qin Zhao, came to the village three years ago with no memory of his past, his identity shrouded in mystery. So ill that he could barely move, he was ostracized by the villagers.

Looking at the empty mud house where Qin Zhao lived, Jing Li decided to help him.

The little koi wagged its tail at Qin Zhao: “I heard I can help people fulfill their wishes!”

Qin Zhao: “Anything?”

Little koi: “Yes, yes, yes!”

Qin Zhao smiled faintly: “I want a husband.”

From that day on, the sickly man in the village suddenly recovered and was incredibly lucky.

Whenever he ventured into the mountains, he found rare herbs; a casual act of saving someone turned out to be the son of a wealthy merchant from the city; even when digging in the ground, he unearthed a silver ingot…

He built a house, got married, and established a private school. Life got better and better. The villagers, driven by curiosity, started climbing the walls, trying to steal his luck secret.

They only saw the sickly man squatting by the pool, gently coaxing the bright red koi blowing bubbles at the bottom:

“Come out and eat, or I won’t let you have baby fish.”

Soon, this news spread in the circle: "I heard that Lu Zexuan, an S-class sentinel, took a fancy to a C-class little guide?" "That guide is only 18 years old!" "General Lu really has a unique taste."

At the federal banquet, the newly grown guide came followed by the tall general, looking innocent, pitiful and weak. Lu Zexuan subconsciously protected him from behind him.

Until one day, the Falcon Special Combat Team was surrounded by mu*derous alien creatures, Lu Zexuan was seriously injured and on the verge of mental collapse.

Before he lost consciousness, he saw the guide beside him stretching out countless spiritual tent**les towards the beasts.

Yu Ran, who was usually simple and innocent, his gaze at that moment was decisive and sharp, his strong spiritual power made all monsters instantly surrender to his feet.

He stepped over the corpse mountain and blood sea of the beasts, calmly walked to Lu Zexuan, and stretched out his hand towards the sentinel: "Do you need me to protect you, General Lu?

Lu Zexuan: "............"

No one knows that the boy with different pupils who is innocent on the surface actually has a terrifying and powerful spiritual power.

And he, not only devoid of the memories of his original self, but upon opening his eyes, he is tasked with a dangerous mission of hostage rescue…

Ji Mingzhu: Well, it seems like I’m in for a rough ride.

When the battles approach, Ji Mingzhu sits inside the mecha and gazes at the c*ckpit filled with intricate circuits and control buttons.

Ji Mingzhu: It looks somewhat familiar.

Ji Mingzhu: …Isn’t this the interface from “Warfall”?

Question: When you suddenly find yourself in a world overrun by monsters after winning an eSports championship, facing a deadly start with no knowledge other than gaming, how do you deal with the perilous situation of being surrounded by wolves?

The young man sits in the Titan mecha, known as the “God of Mortals,” and loosens his gloves, skillfully manipulating the complex buttons above.

Then, under his control, the hundred-meter-tall Titan rushes towards the alien creatures, with the power core emitting a deafening hum, alloy blades tearing through the clouds like lightning, firepower systems pushed to the limit, and explosions and flames engulfing the Titan, resembling an ancient deity, its immense power eclipsing the sky.

Ji Mingzhu: Thanks for the invitation, but I think we can crank up the intensity a bit more.

PS:

1. This story leans towards the plot and has a minimal focus on romantic relationships. Please be aware if that’s not your preference.

2. In the original world of “Warfall,” the c*ckpit design is semi-holographic, allowing the protagonist to quickly adapt to operating a real mecha. This will be explained in the story.
