For the next two days, Shen Miaomiao might as well have unlocked a cheat code. By day, she sat at her desk at the company, writing like mad. At midnight, she took her place in front of her phone, punc...

“Forgive my bluntness, but without the cover, I would have assumed I was reviewing a general's revenge saga set in an imaginary dynasty.” Cold air seeped through the spacious, brightly lit editor-in-c...

“I know you're suffering. But your past life is over, and your next life is destined to be a very good one. Why put yourself through this?” Ling Wu could no longer bring herself to speak harshly to he...

Fang Runing followed He Yuanxia through the entrance and back into the thick darkness. The girl ahead walked too fast. The hem of her blue dress swayed twice like a fish's tail, then melted into the c...

Lu Siting's furious voice chased him from behind. Clutching his schoolbag, Xu Xingye rushed out of the classroom without looking back and ran down the corridor toward the stairs. School had just ended...

Xi Yan was taken into an enclosed metal chamber for a series of examinations. From head to toe, inside and out, he underwent twenty-three tests in all. After each one, a new group of people took him s...

The battered phone in his pocket vibrated until his thigh went numb. Chi Xingran pulled out the secondhand phone with its cracked screen. System notifications kept exploding across the top like a runa...

Ling Yu felt that this place was exactly as the notebook described. She also felt that using scenery like this in her own paintings would surely produce something different. She simply committed it to...

“Jingchuan, this is the caviar you like. Pair it with the foie gras in front of you. It's a rare delicacy.” Shen Jibai spooned out some caviar and had the servant beside him bring it to Ye Jingchuan. ...

“No wonder you're still such a useless, good-for-nothing fool after all these years! How could a son of mine, Qin Shaofen, be this worthless?” “I hear Qingbai topped the college entrance exam even whi...

Xi Yan skimmed the virtual world's background information, then promptly lay down on the ground, spread his hands, and closed his eyes. “Staying alive in this hellhole is hard enough. Who's going to b...

“I want to make money! I want a fat savings account!” With his daily mantra complete, Xi Yan threw himself into work as though someone had given him a shot of adrenaline. His colleague across the way ...

That was the scene Gu Huaizhi found when he opened the door. On the hospital bed, Yan Yu sat with his head lowered, slightly curling black hair obscuring his eyes. Fever flushed his face, making the d...

From the main courtyard, Wang Guizhi's wailing rose louder and louder, as though her heart had been gouged out. When Cen Sheng stepped through the gate, several rough-work matrons were clumsily helpin...

Summer vacation tasted as though it had been soaked in honey. Between the milky fragrance drifting through the dessert shop and the warm, sugary breath of its ovens, every day felt full and light. Che...

Xu Xingye simply stared at Lu Siting without saying a word. The guy was asking whether he wanted a beating, while inside his head he was thinking about eyelashes, beauty marks, and whether he could co...

Great Qi's spring examinations had always been the battle through which scholars across the realm hoped to leap the dragon gate. Outside the Ministry of Rites, candidates from every region formed seve...

After leaving the house, Sheng Linyou tried everything he could think of. He called Yin Xigui. The first time, the phone rang for a long while before the call was rejected. The second time, it was swi...

Yan Yu closed his eyes, unwilling to look at his injuries. Once he'd steadied himself, he picked up the bathrobe from the floor. At least his clothes were still in the bathroom. He wouldn't have to le...

Shangguan Jin lowered his brows and pulled aside the curtain. The person he had seized was a woman, plainly dressed, her clothes covered in blue patches. Murong Qing kept her voice low. “Who are you? ...

The moment they entered the room, Shen Jibai shut the door. When he looked up, his gaze was immediately caught by Ye Jingchuan. Jingchuan had just finished bathing, water still glistening on his skin....

The morning's work was nearly over. Shen Yueji saved her document, picked up her mug, and took a sip of water that had long since gone cold. A sudden commotion erupted across the office, followed by t...

“You thought you could scheme against me?” The voice above him was vicious. Yan Yu hit the floor. His forehead struck something hard, and warm blood began to trickle down his face. It didn't hurt. [Sy...

After fooling around on the forum, Shi Wei simply forgot about the student handbook. Shen Li only had a year left until graduation anyway. What trouble could a sensible, obedient model student like hi...

After morning exercises on the fifth day, Lin Ting sat on a stone bench in the garden drinking water while Shen Yueji stood beside her wiping away sweat. Her phone vibrated. A short message from Sheng...

Perhaps it was his imagination, but Shi Wei's room-change request seemed to be approved unusually quickly. They'd barely finished lunch before its status changed to Accepted. Xu Yan eagerly volunteere...

My name is Shi Wei. By the time you read this sentence, I will already have removed your brain... “Qiu He! Qiu He! Big news! Huge news! The forum's practically exploding!” Qiu He glanced at his franti...

A voice demanding my doom dragged me awake. “Miss Su. Mr. Fu says you must sign this agreement today.” The words poured down from above, ice-cold and professionally patient. I forced open my heavy eye...

When the white light faded, I found myself standing in front of a workstation. Sticky notes covered the partition. Three monitors were stacked at the edge of the desk, a packet of spicy snacks was wed...

My life ended with Yu Shen saying, “Ruan Ying, if you found out, I'd never be able to show my face again.” The rooftop railing was digging into my waist. Far below, a loudspeaker's announcement blurre...

Liang Zhecheng bent down, picked Lu Nan up, and settled him in the armchair in front of him. Then he leaned close and took an enormous sniff. “Yes! That's it! That cat smell!” Poor little Lu Nan tucke...

The café Lu Nan had been heading for was called Cats in the Alley. Its owner, a fairly young man named Xu Zhiyang, had expected him for an interview two days earlier. Xu Zhiyang had called twice witho...

Lu Nan was being held in a strange man's arms. He opened his mouth, but not a word came out. All he could do was marvel inwardly: a hero could still make a dazzling entrance without a thunderclap over...
