Silver Mountain Academy.
"Chuan Chuan, did you know? I heard Huang Haotian hasn’t come to school these past two days." Walking along the campus path, Luo Xi suddenly remembered this. Ever since the Taekwondo Club competition, those guys had gone missing.
"Didn’t come? Whatever." Ye Chuan wasn’t particularly interested. After all, Huang Haotian was nothing more than a—
Paramecium.
Yeah, that’s about right.
"Ah, Little Fish!" At that moment, Luo Xi spotted An Shiyu not far away and greeted her cheerfully. "Good morning, Fishy!"
"Yo." An Shiyu, wearing purple cat-ear headphones, lazily acknowledged Ye Chuan and Luo Xi. "The lovebirds are as clingy as ever today."
"We’re not! He’s my son." Luo Xi giggled.
"Bull." Ye Chuan retorted.
"He is!" Luo Xi kicked Ye Chuan’s butt, only to have him kick her back a second later.
"Ugh, my skirt’s dirty now!"
Watching the two bicker, An Shiyu twitched her lips. What a nauseating couple.
As if struck by a thought, she lifted her leg and gave Ye Chuan a light kick. "Hey, Ye Chuan, got something to tell you."
"What?"
"The Taekwondo Club thing’s gone viral." An Shiyu said flatly. "The short video got crazy views, so… you’ll probably have a lot of trouble coming your way soon."
"Trouble?" Ye Chuan thought about it. Who’d come after him for beating the Taekwondo Club? "Who posted it?"
"Me." An Shiyu deadpanned. "Money’s money, right?"
"So you’re the one who brought me trouble?!" Ye Chuan glared.
"Want a cut?"
"Now we’re talking. How much?" The prospect of money instantly brightened Ye Chuan’s mood.
"Ten bucks."
Ye Chuan: "…"
Suppressing the urge to punch An Shiyu, he asked, "So, what’s this trouble you mentioned?"
"The Taekwondo Club’s former president, Jin Zhengxi, is coming back to challenge you." An Shiyu said coolly. "Heard he’s some inheritor of ancient Taekwondo or whatever. You ruined the club’s reputation—no way he’ll let that slide."
"His name sounds so… kimchi."
"He is Korean. Handle it yourself."
"No problem! Chuan Chuan can take him down with one punch!" Luo Xi pumped her fist enthusiastically. "Super strong!"
"Weren’t you the one who didn’t trust me before?" Ye Chuan smirked, amused. Last time, she’d been terrified during the match, but now she wasn’t scared at all.
"You took down the entire Taekwondo Club by yourself. Of course I’m not scared now." Luo Xi said.
After a pause, she added in a whisper,
"Even if you lose, getting beat up by one guy isn’t so bad."
Ye Chuan: "…"
The morning classes were uneventful. After grinding through a few lectures, it was finally lunch break.
"Chuan Chuan, I’m heading to the broadcasting room. See you later!" As a member of the Broadcasting Club, Luo Xi occasionally had to play music or read submitted letters over the school speakers. Her voice was pleasant, and she’d gained a bit of popularity in the school.
"Mm."
Ye Chuan glanced at An Shiyu beside him. "Wanna grab lunch together?"
"Nah. What if people think we’re a couple?" An Shiyu sounded disgusted.
"…" You’d be lucky to be seen with someone as handsome as me!
Ye Chuan headed to the cafeteria alone.
Silver Mountain Academy had plenty of dining halls. He picked the one closest to the classroom and soon arrived at the rice noodle stall. "Auntie, double the beef brisket, and all the toppings."
Carrying a massive bowl piled high with ingredients, Ye Chuan found an empty seat and sat down, satisfied.
Being rich was great.
No need to save a single piece of brisket like treasure for the last bite.
As he wolfed down his food, a figure suddenly slid into the seat across from him, their voice tinged with excitement. "Ah, Senior—"
Ye Chuan looked up from his beef, recognized the face, and twitched his lips. "…"
It was Wang Yanran. Dressed in Silver Mountain Academy’s uniform, she looked surprised. "You eat here too?"
"I’m broke." Ye Chuan cut straight to the point.
He’d spent most of the million he’d gotten and had no intention of paying it back. Something about this girl felt… suspicious.
Wang Yanran blinked, then realized.
Last time, she hadn’t given him enough!
"I still have over 800,000 left. I’ll give it all to you first." She said quickly. "I’ll transfer the rest as soon as possible."
Ye Chuan paused, sensing something off.
What’s going on?
Why is she giving me money?
She’s not here to collect?
"Spit it out. What do you want? This ‘coincidence’ isn’t fooling anyone." Ye Chuan said coolly. He wasn’t an idiot—no way they’d just randomly run into each other in the cafeteria.
"Um… actually, it’s my grandfather’s idea. The Wang Family… hopes to establish a good relationship with you." Wang Yanran admitted honestly. There was no point hiding it—her intentions were obvious anyway.
Better to be upfront.
"I don’t know much about your ‘super warrior’ stuff." Ye Chuan said.
Wang Yanran’s eyes lit up with realization.
Just as Grandfather said!
Rumors said ancient clans and sects followed different cultivation systems from secular families, so they wouldn’t know about super warriors!
This senior before her was definitely a young powerhouse from one of those ancient lineages!
"Huh?" Ye Chuan felt a little weirded out. Why did her gaze grow even more intense after his reply?
"Super warriors are essentially martial artists with supernatural abilities—like controlling fire, lightning, ice…" Wang Yanran explained. "Our Wang Family specializes in manipulating spirits."
Ye Chuan frowned. Sounded a lot like cultivation.
Weren’t these just elemental spiritual roots?
"So you think I’m strong and want to cozy up to my ‘family,’ is that it?" Ye Chuan asked.
Wang Yanran shook her head. "No. The Wang Family simply wishes to be on good terms with you."
She knew full well that Ye Chuan’s background was beyond their reach. If anything, forming a connection with a young prodigy like him was already a rare opportunity.
Angel investor?
Ye Chuan seemed to grasp the situation.
Wait… isn’t this just a giant money tree?
"Easy, easy." Ye Chuan suddenly grinned. "So… Wang Swallow, was it? Sit, let’s talk."
"Senior, it’s Wang Yanran."
"Eh, close enough."
Wang Yanran: "?"
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
with Taming My Adopted Niece) (Multiple Heroines + Power Fantasy) Before transmigrating, Wang Jianqiang suffered greatly from novels with no female leads. Holding firm to the belief that "women only slow down my blade," he stubbornly maintained his virginity even after decades in the Sect of Dual Cultivation. In his twilight years, with his cultivation stagnant at the third level of Qi Refining, he finally succumbed and "rewarded" himself once—triggering the awakening of the Godly Cultivation System. From then on, he realized women might actually be his lucky stars on the path to immortality. Deciding to indulge freely and savor life, he found his ungrateful adopted niece knocking at his door...
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards.

With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
