As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

Marissa tried explaining to her husband that she was the one married to him, but he did not believe her.

Raphael Sinclair was the classic definition of drop-dead gorgeous and was the only heir of the Sinclair group of industries. What would he do when he came to know that all this time the woman who offered him, her love and her body was not Valerie but her younger sister Marissa Aaron? How would he react when he came to know that he was the father of the babies Marissa was carrying in her womb? Would he go after Marissa and win her back? And the million-dollar question! Would Marissa ever be able to forgive him and love him again?

Ethan Granger, a modern-day man, is suddenly transported into a Victorian-era world. Upon waking, he discovers that he has taken over the body of Elias Darnell, a poor, orphaned teenage boy living in a bleak, impoverished neighborhood. As Ethan grapples with his new life, something far darker and far more powerful emerges within him. He begins to experience strange powers—enhanced strength, speed, and a thirst for blood. At first, he brushes it off as a side effect of his transmigration, but the truth soon becomes undeniable: Ethan is not just any vampire—he is the first vampire, cursed by God Himself as punishment for an ancient, unfathomable sin. Elias Darnell is no ordinary boy; his body is the vessel for a divine punishment that dates back to the beginning of time. Ethan’s transformation is not merely the result of magic or a random accident—it is the curse of the first vampire, and his existence is a cosmic punishment for a sin so great that it defied the laws of both man and God.

Supreme System, has an exciting premise with plenty of action and potential for character growth. The year 2305 sets the stage for a futuristic world where humans and aliens are in a deadly conflict, and where superpowers have become part of human evolution. The introduction of Sahil as an underdog, someone without powers in a world where nearly everyone else has them, creates a compelling protagonist. Sahil's discovery of the red box and the Supreme System is a pivotal moment. It taps into classic themes of hidden potential and transformation, especially when he takes the mysterious pill, leading to his awakening as a Nexari, with the unique abilities of an Emotion Weaver. The system with its quests, celestial points, and cultivation introduces a game-like structure to the story, which readers of system-based or cultivation novels will find familiar and engaging. The story also brings in a lot of world-building elements, from the war with the Dalviks to the World Government, to the use of beast weapons. The emotional stakes are high for Sahil, as he was orphaned in the war and rejected by his own family despite their wealth and resources. This rejection fuels his determination to prove himself, making his journey from being seen as a “loser” to potentially becoming a powerful figure quite satisfying. It’s clear that Sahil's journey is just beginning, and there’s plenty of intrigue about how he’ll develop his abilities, navigate the military academy, and deal with the looming alien threat. The world-building, with elements like Qi Cultivation and beast armory, promises a rich universe to explore as Sahil evolves with the system's help. You’ve set up a lot of exciting questions: How will Sahil use his new abilities? What will he discover about the Nexari race? Will the Dalviks return for another attack? How will the other students react to his newfound power? This has the potential to be a thrilling blend of sci-fi and fantasy.

However, without Knight’s knowledge, Victoria is slowly enjoying the curves and words in those writings. Each night, she dreads time to pass quickly, anticipating another writing to be brought to her. She becomes intrigued until she desires to know the man behind the writing. Additionally, her mother pressures her to stand firm on the choice of the man she is to choose—Lord Edward, Knight’s elder brother, who is said to possess two hundred thousand a year.

Knight must navigate the rivalry with his brothers, particularly Edward and William, both competing for Victoria's hand, in addition to formally acquainting himself with the ladyship.

In order to be a hero or a villain a man must have ambition. The difference between the two is where that ambition lies." -The Dark Prince In 17th century France, the rich nobles control the world with a magic system called "Artifacts".
