“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...

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...

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....

On Friday afternoon, Shen Miaomiao arrived outside the editor-in-chief's office with her latest printed manuscript in her arms. These were Chapters Six through Eight, which she'd spent an entire week ...

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...

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...

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...

The following afternoon, Shen Miaomiao came into the company late, sporting a pair of dark circles. She'd worked past midnight the night before, then tossed and turned at home over Lu Chen's jacket. A...

At half past ten at night, the Moxiang Literature editorial office was still brightly lit. Outside, the city had fallen asleep, with only scattered headlights cutting through the darkness. But this se...

The basement of the Zhao residence. The darkness was almost absolute. Blood and rust tainted the stale air; chains clattered against one another. Anyone stumbling upon the room might have mistaken it ...

Ever since Lu Chen had pronounced her first three chapters “a huge improvement,” Shen Miaomiao had let the success go straight to her head. “Sweet contemporary romance? Is that all there is to it?” On...

After Lu Chen rescued Chapter Four with his red pen, Shen Miaomiao finally learned her lesson about writing. She stopped chasing exaggerated domineering-CEO formulas and began concentrating on details...

To grow up, to become a calm person, requires shedding many tears. "Chairwoman Su arranged for me to pick you up and take you home." "Why do you call Mom 'Chairwoman Su'?" "Because I don't want to be ...

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...

With that, Yu Chong stood and looked down at him. “As for the soul-suppressing talisman, keep it.” “So you don't lie awake all night.” Then he dissolved from Ding Peichen's sight like a wisp of black ...

Ning wandered all around the area with her camera, Leo following a short distance behind to keep an eye on her. When they reached the town's only restaurant, Ning turned toward Leo, a few steps away. ...

11:59 p.m. Shen Miaomiao sat cross-legged on her sofa in oversized pajamas. A single floor lamp cast a warm yellow glow through the living room. On the table sat an unsweetened Americano that had long...

“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 ...

Summer vacation seemed steeped in honey. Amid the milky fragrance of the dessert shop and the warm sweetness drifting from its ovens, the days became wonderfully full and light. Chen Jingming and I bo...

Qin Zu vented his cruelty against the windowsill of the F Group president's office. Today was his last day working at F Group. He imagined the day he would become a king the entire world under his con...

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...

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...

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...

“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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Once he was in the car, Gong Zheng's craving for a cigarette returned. He silently cursed Zhao Zhouming. The bastard had lit one for him, then taken it away after barely a few drags and forced himself...
