Xia Yiwei froze on the spot: "???"
The room buzzed with hushed whispers, and the expressions on everyone's faces could only be described as... priceless.
Lin Yu walked away without another word, leaving no trace of his involvement.
Such petty tricks.
They were all games he'd long since outgrown.
Xia Yiwei stomped her foot in frustration:
"This song... damn it... ugh!!"
She wasn't the type to back down from a challenge.
Having accepted the bet, she had no choice but to down all four glasses.
......
As the rounds progressed,
Though Su Qiu had once harbored deep feelings for Ruan Sitong, he had now let her go.
Snowflakes continued to drift lazily from the sky. Lin Yiyi glanced upward, then, under the bewildered gaze of the security guard, began walking down the hill.
Ever since the princess had told him that day to avoid visiting the palace unnecessarily and to cut off all contact with her...
Yet Lin Yiyi was certain this was her first time meeting this person, yet an inexplicable sense of familiarity nagged at her—though she couldn’t recall why.
"Damn it! That bastard! Tang Xiao! That bastard Tang Xiao, how could he just leave her behind and walk away?!" Tang Doudou's large eyes shimmered with unshed tears.
Murong Yanxing helped Mu Yutian into her coat, wrapped a scarf around her, and made sure she was bundled up against the wind before leading her outside.
There was, in fact, one peculiar thing. When she had first approached Yate Chenxi among the Snow Clan, the angelic mark on her wrist had burned hotter, as if warning her. The moment she returned to Solomon, it fell silent—only to flare up again days later, the pain like countless needles tracing the outline of the wings, piercing deep into her wrist.
Lin Yiyi never expected Ning Shixiu to bring her to a rehabilitation center. Was he visiting someone important? But hadn’t all his family already passed away? Could her information be wrong? Though puzzled, she kept her questions to herself.
Sheng Xia’s test results were worse than expected. Beyond the injuries from her loss of control, her vitals were all abnormal—anemia, malnutrition—but the real issue was her long history of drug abuse.
Nearby, Tang Buhuai watched Murong Duoduo with a faint smile, relieved that the matter had finally been resolved.
A complete re-evaluation was impossible. The only option was to subject these award-winning writers to a new "examination."
Yin Lian agreed wholeheartedly with the actor’s perspective, admiring his clear-headed and upright worldview—then promptly crossed his name off the candidate list.
Lin Chuan suddenly picked up speed. If they didn’t locate the tree demon’s true form before the branches snapped entirely, they’d lose their chance. Understanding the urgency, Qinghu and the vulture quickened their pace behind him.
But such heavy artillery was far beyond Fan Chen’s reach. He couldn’t even get his hands on basic ammunition—those things were strictly government-controlled, utterly inaccessible through civilian channels.
Lu Mingyue sighed as if genuinely perplexed by the situation, lamenting the failure of this romance.
But with such limited space in a short script, she knew these few words couldn’t possibly capture the complexity of her emotions. After much deliberation, she decided to spare Yin Changsheng and focus instead on a story about herself and Madam Yin.
"I like you. Is that so wrong?" Leng Zirui chuckled, slinging an arm around his elder brother’s shoulders as they stepped out of the private room.
Su Yao braced herself against the bed, kicked off her high heels, and stepped barefoot onto the flat floor. The plush carpet brushed against her soles as the pain gradually faded.
Hu Qing opened the door with some unease, silently resolving that if the Second Young Master sought intimacy again, she would demand answers—this time, she’d make him explain.

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

with countless casualties. As a top-tier gamer, Liu Xuan volunteered to join the fight, intending to dominate with his skills, but instead he obtained the hidden class: [Pacifist]. Unable to attack. Unable to use active skills. Fortunately, with each level gained, he acquired a new passive skill. And so, armed with a body full of passives, Liu Xuan slaughtered his way through the battlefield of ten thousand races! [You attacked Liu Xuan] [You gained the debuffs: 'Poison', 'Fear', 'Burning', 'Bleeding', 'Freeze', 'Silence', etc.] [Your attack speed has been reduced by 99%] [Your armor and magic resistance have been reduced by 99%] Warriors of the Ten Thousand Races: How the hell am I supposed to fight this?!

] [Lone Wolf, No Male Gaze] [Protagonist is pursued early on; extreme protagonist-stans, stay away!] The "Carnival Paradise" descends and slowly devours the real world in the form of a game. By chance, Zhu Yan awakens the talent [Roleplay], becoming one of the first beta players. He thought he could develop safely, but after clearing the first instance, he is branded by humanity as the chief culprit behind the game's spread—a traitorous villain. A villain? Who would ever... become one! He'll be the villain! From then on, Zhu Yan is not only a player but also a lackey for the Carnival Paradise. Between the straight path and the crooked path, he chooses the con. With his left hand, he dons the villain's mantle, staging scenes within instances, infuriating players who decry him as a despicable traitor, all while the game happily promotes him. With his right hand, he joins the non-human organization "Fangcun Mountain," which opposes the Carnival Paradise, transforming into a mysterious player who slaughters game bosses, earning cheers of "Long live the expert!" from fellow players. Gradually, Zhu Yan rises to become an S-rank human player in Fangcun Mountain's archives, while also being the Carnival Paradise's certified top game Boss. But when the final war erupts and both major factions place their hopes in him— Players tag his various aliases: "Experts, this offensive depends on you." The Carnival Paradise's supreme Boss throws an arm around his neck: "Bro, you're the iron, I'm the steel; you can't let me down again!"

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
