—El regalo de compromiso es de dos millones de dólares, ni un centavo menos. Jiang Yu ya tiene dieciocho años y puede casarse ahora. Envía el dinero a mi tarjeta, ¡y este asunto está resuelto! —Jiang Yu miraba a su madre, quien no paraba de hablar en la mesa de negociación. Observó cómo su madre ponía un precio mientras vendía a Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu no podía creerlo.

He is the genuine diamond bachelor of G City, ranking first in terms of net worth, Everyone knows that he had a deep and unforgettable love, But no one knows that, five years ago, he had a nominal marriage; She is the super nurse of G City People Hospital, with neither wealth nor high education, Everyone knows that she is divorced and has a child in tow, But no one knows that her ex-husband, the father of her child, is the man at the very top of the pyramid. Scene One: On the day she was diagnosed to be pregnant, her husband registered on the marriage certificate came back. The next day, at the breakfast table, an A4 sheet of paper appeared very abruptly by his right hand. "This is a divorce agreement, please sign it." She said, her internal organs trembling. "...Is there someone else?" He put down his chopsticks, looked at her, and asked calmly, his eyebrows almost imperceptibly twitching. He came back because there was something he wanted to talk to her, but now it seemed unnecessary. "...Yes." Having a child should count as having someone else, because from now on, she would love her child. When they got married back then, he had said that if she had a lover, she could ask him for a divorce. "Alright, I understand." He nodded, picked up the agreement on the table, and left. "..." Scene Two: "What's your name?" "Axel Hawkins." "Your last name is Hawkins?" The mother's name is Carolline Ruiz, his ex-wife, and the father's column is left blank, isn't it? "Yes, my dad's name is Bryan Hawkins, he's a Sky Walker." "..." At five in the afternoon, Carolline Ruiz picked up her son from school and saw him standing next to her son; she instinctively turned around and ran. Bryan Hawkins left Axel Hawkins in the Guard Room, warned him not to run around, and then chased after her with his long legs. "Carolline Ruiz, stop." "..." Almost instinctively, she really stopped. He slowly walked over and stood in front of her, a tall and imposing figure blocking all the setting sun. Carolline Ruiz couldn't help but look up, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminating his face, she couldn't see his features clearly at all. "What are you running for? If you dare to secretly love for eight years, do you dare to openly love for a lifetime?" "..."

If he wanted to boss around, he could do whatever he wanted. I would continue to farm, but if he tried to attack me, then he would not live to see another day. Zhao Hai was a shut-in until he was transmigrated to another world with a farm and taken over the body of a fallen noble. The land that the noble had was one that could not grow anything. He also had a fiance who was the heir to a principality. To make matters even worse, he was talentless in martial arts and magic where he couldn’t even learn both. “So what if I can’t do magic? I have my farm. Let’s see you try and attack me! I’ll let my bugs out to devour all of your military rations! I’ll put pesticides in your water source and grow weeds on your land! Let’s see you try and attack me after that!” “What? You’ll hire assassins to kill me? Try and do that when I’m hiding inside my farmhouse. Once that is over, I’ll rid your country of all your food sources! Your citizens will come after you instead of you coming after me!” The shut-in had a slightly foul personality. This is a story of how he, and his farm, became a nightmare to the people of a world of swords and magic.

``` Pour le bien de sa famille, Ren s'est lancé dans le populaire VRMMORPG, COVENANT, qui utilisait de la monnaie en temps réel dans le jeu. Mais n'étant qu'un joueur médiocre qui ne savait que recueillir des informations, il se retrouva dans un rôle de soutien. Tandis que le jeu explosait en popularité et que chaque multinationale investissait dans le jeu, les choses ont empiré pour Ren. À cause de la quantité d'informations qu'il avait accumulées, des triches, secrets, quêtes et bugs qu'il avait découverts, il s'est tu par peur de vendre les informations aux autres guildes. Mais ayant une seconde chance, il remonta le temps quand son père était encore en vie et que COVENANT n'en était qu'à ses débuts. Cette fois-ci... il ne serait pas ce type à l'écart qui recueillait des informations jour après jour pendant dix ans. Équipé des connaissances du jeu qu'il avait accumulées, il deviendrait... un Alchimiste ! Mage Chrono ? Maître Djin ? Invocateur ? Nécromancien ? Seigneur du Chaos ? À quoi bon tout cela ? Certes, ce sont des classes puissantes et rares et recherchées par les guildes, mais c'est l'alchimiste qui forge des artéfacts et concocte des objets et des potions rares qui reçoit le plus de pièces à la fin de la journée! C'était mieux qu'être forgeron ou artisan ! De plus, il pouvait utiliser toutes sortes de magie sans limite de race et de classe ! C'était la classe ultime ! Et personne ne le savait même ! ```

There was once an innocent little boy who was about to graduate high school. But suddenly, a truck ran him over before he could step foot in adult life. From his cruel twist of fate, he learns that after a person dies, they simply go to a result screen—a simple score system based on how publicly known they are. Being the nobody, he only had enough points to use the wheel spin—three shots that would determine his upcoming life. The wheel first landed on females, crushing his hope of keeping his gender. But he wasn't just going to give up so easily as the male section remained. The next spin didn't land on what he hoped for. With one last shot, he slammed the button and prayed. A miracle, almost as if god answered his prayer, appeared right before his eyes as it landed on a male. "Thank you, god! I knew you'd never give up on me like that——Wait, what do you mean that's a bug?" Before he could say anything, he was reborn into a fantasy world where magic and cultivation coexist. Want to find out what he got for his upcoming adventure? Well, let's just say he experiences the three stages of grief with his awful luck. --- Disclaimer: Some of the love interests are related to the main character, and the main character's love interests are only towards women.

Poor Lucy Wood never foresaw things getting this dire. She was borne by a slave woman who died after giving birth to her and treated as a slave by her step mother and sister. Shunned and rejected by Alpha Thorne-her fated mate-she is all but shattered in her lonely misery. Yet, the fates can be hilariously sadistic. Not even six months into her abandonment, Lucy finds herself in the custody of the most feared Lycan King, Tristan Landon. Fearsome, with a reputation to make even the bravest cower, Tristan rules with an iron fist, his law extending over the whole realm of the werewolves. Still, beneath the commanding and intimidating exterior, Lucy feels that there must be something far more complicated about Tristan-some dangerous allure, perhaps even a spark of something more than dominance. Thrown into the world of royal politics, ancient bloodlines, and dangerous plots, Lucy's life does another flip when Tristan declares her his future Luna. His impulsive move rattles the very core of the kingdom, further enraging Zara-a cunning she-wolf who laid claim to the position of Luna.

Smitten by his growing feelings for Lucy and his need to control the powerful forces surrounding him, Tristan must ultimately decide if their bond is worth the risk of his kingdom. But when Alpha Thorne kidnaps Lucy's child, an ancient prophecy is illuminated-one that speaks of a great reckoning, one where the future of the packs hangs in the balance of Lucy's talents. Amongst betrayals lurking at every turn and old and new enemies threatening her at every pass, Lucy must make her way through a maze of deceit, love, and power. Now, will she be able to find her trust in Tristan and become the Luna their world needs, or will the darkness within tear them apart for good? This is a thrilling tale of love, power, and betrayal.

They say curiosity would be the doom of mankind. A group of researchers just proved that notion when they tried to investigate an ancient alter, mastakenly opening the gate to Entomorphia, the land of giant bugs known as Entomorphs. As millions of entomorphs poured out of the wormhole and invaded earth, the world superpower could do nothing as their guns, tanks and bombs were useless against the bugs. Soon, one by one, big countries perished. And when almost all hopes were lost, one ray of light showed up as humanity's savior. Alien beings called spirits. Living among humans and taking the shape of different lifeforms, these spirits extended their helping hand towards humans. Forging a contract with the spirits could grant the contractor known as Jaegers power. Power that could effectively destroy the entomorphs. Thus began humanity's tale of reclaiming the earth as its rightful inhabitants. Ray Foster, a student of the Jaeger Academy, was nicknamed the prodigal failure for his inability to forge a contract even after having the largest spirit energy reserve of all the Jaegers. But it changed when, on a fateful evening, Ray found and rescued an injured cat. As Ray healed up the cat with his care, he quickly learnt that the cat was a spirit. As a reward for taking care of her, the cat forged a contract with Ray, turning him into a full-fledged Jaeger. With Yuki, the cat, on his side, Ray began his journey of becoming the strongest Jaeger in the history of mankind.
