“Tap, tap, tap…” Qin Yan sat on the sofa, drenched. The room was dark, with only a faint trace of light from outside the window. He vaguely heard a sound—perhaps water dripping from his pant leg onto the floor. He stared at the television. Inside the screen, a dark, indistinct figure was staring back at him in a daze. He no longer seemed to recognize who that was. Strands of wet hair clung to his face. His pale skin looked as if it had been soaked in cold water for a long time. His…- 132.6 K • Completed

No one knew what he had done before, only that he was wealthy, handsome, elegant in demeanor, and a gentle, friendly, and generous person. Everyone liked him. It was…- 513.7 K • Completed
The biting cold of early spring in February filled the streets of Feng City, where leafless trees stood bare and people dragged their feet back to work after the Spring Festival with lethargic postures. In the evening, on the outskirts at the film base, Jiang Ruo collected his crew lunch box and found a less crowded spot against a wall. He didn't care whether the shredded potato was too salty or bland, or if there were eggs in the egg flower soup. With a snap, he broke open the disposable chopsticks and…- 178.8 K • Completed

The young man slouching in the interrogation chair had delicate features, his eyelids sinking into sharp, cold creases when he lifted his gaze. He raised a brow slightly, staring unblinkingly at the middle-aged officer across from him, his tone playful and indifferent—almost like a provocation: "Yeah, I killed them." Lu Anchi,…

The continent was engulfed in the flames of war, and the scent of blood permeated the vast plains. Shattered armor and fragments of magic crystals lay scattered across the ground, glinting in the fading light of dusk. On the battlefield, only a squadron of heavy cavalry and a single mage remained. The cavalrymen surrounded a black-haired nobleman who, thanks to their protection, remained unscathed. The mage had long, dark golden hair and eyes. His pristine white magic robe was spotless, as if he had…- 224.9 K • Completed
When Guan Lan returned to his hotel room, he found someone standing at his door. A young man, not a student, but decent-looking. However, having seen his fair share of beauties, Guan Lan wasn't particularly impressed. The young man wore an awkward, hesitant expression, his eyes glued to Guan Lan the moment he stepped out of the elevator. Guan Lan instinctively checked the room number and his keycard, confirming he hadn't made a mistake, and opened the door. Although it was obvious the young man…- 76.9 K • Completed

- The setting sun melted gold into the rippling lake, and the boats densely scattered on the water basked in the orange twilight. "Remember, if they're anything like those from last time, I'll send them away just the same, alright?" Xu Chun wore a light apricot round-collar robe, lazily fanning himself. His features were striking, and the orange-red evening glow from one side of the pleasure boat illuminated his face, making his skin appear like translucent white jade. Young Lord Xu had eyes…
