Tao Suyun hadn't been back to Jian'an Alley for long when she discovered that the neighboring house, which had been vacant, now had people moving in. Her high school scandal partner unexpectedly became her new neighbor.

The two of them saw each other often, lifting their heads without seeing each other but bumping into one another when lowering their gazes. Apart from that, there wasn't much other interaction.

Until one night during a power outage, Tao Suyun, drunk, played the cello unrestrainedly under the moonlight. The next day, she suddenly and inexplicably received a five-figure transfer...

After hesitating for a moment, Tao Suyun knocked on the opposite door for the first time.

Who knew that the transfer sender leaned against the door, glanced at her, and said indifferently, "It's not free listening; just consider it a tip for last night."

"??"

Xu Ji's gaze wandered over her, and after a while, he spoke in a bland tone, "You were drunk last night, hugging me and crying and making a fuss, insisting on playing the violin for me. You also said..."

Tao Suyun lowered her head, her face full of embarrassment, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.

"I... what else did I say?"

Xu Ji raised his eyebrow slightly and slowly completed the earlier sentence, "You like me a lot."

Retreating to advance fox-like cool guy X super slow-burn fairy girl

Synopsis: Dark, controlling female lead VS honest, simple male lead!

Fang Zhiyue was a clumsy and honest man. After being sold into the Si family, although his wife soon passed away, he remained devoted to the Si family, caring for his elderly father-in-law and the daughter his wife left behind. Later, his father-in-law also passed away, leaving only him and his stepdaughter, Si Yao. He wholeheartedly focused on finding a husband for her and seeing her bear children. He never expected his stepdaughter to set her sights on him.

Si Yao was naturally cold and distant from family. Even when her birth mother died and her grandfather passed away, she couldn't shed a single tear. Moreover, she had a flaw: an extremely strong desire for control. Whatever she cared about, she had to completely grasp in her hands. She knew she wasn't normal. Fortunately, there were few things in this world that she cared about, and she had always known how to disguise herself, so no one ever noticed.

With her mother and grandfather gone, only she and her stepfather, Fang Zhiyue, remained in the family. She had given him a chance to leave, but he stubbornly insisted on staying, even saying ridiculous things about taking good care of her in place of her mother and grandfather, and seeing her marry and bear children. Si Yao scoffed, not caring. Since he wouldn't leave, then he could stay. The Si family didn't lack a mouth to feed him.

At first, she didn't care. But later, he haunted her dreams night after night, as if she were possessed. Si Yao's usually well-restrained desire for control completely erupted. She thought darkly, "If that's the case, then I shall possess him."

Xiao Mingyang, a top who is outwardly childish and a silly dog but actually scheming and manipulative, and Li Xiangze, a bottom who is outwardly aloof and cool but actually sensitive and soft-hearted.

Xiao Mingyang suddenly added a WeChat account claiming to be his 28-year-old self. This person told him something he hadn't known in his 18 years of life—he was gay. This person also said that his seemingly harmonious and perfect family was, in fact, turbulent underneath. Xiao Mingyang exclaimed, "This is definitely a new type of scam!"

It wasn't until their video call ended, and all the details matched up, that Xiao Mingyang thought: "Never mind the real situation at home, how could I not know my own sexual orientation?!" Then Li Xiangze appeared, and he fell in love at first sight. Xiao Mingyang quickly asked, "Uh, didn't you say you're the future me? How do I pursue my future wife...?"

***

Li Xiangze's first formal friendship since childhood was with Xiao Mingyang, an "invasion-like" friendship. The other party forcefully put an arm around his shoulder. Li Xiangze thought: "Good brothers seem to be like this." The other party followed him every day, inseparable. Li Xiangze thought: "Seems normal." The other party hugged him before parting. Li Xiangze thought: "Should be fine." Before leaving, the other party kissed him and asked, "You know what I mean, right?" Li Xiangze was utterly confused: "??? Friendship???"

Luo Shizhen was a truly honest person. He studied and lived very earnestly, but unfortunately, he was not very smart. After repeating his final year of high school for two years, his grades still wouldn't improve. If nothing unexpected happened, Luo Shizhen's future life trajectory would be to find a vocational school, learn a skill, and from then on live a stable, ordinary life with modest pay, but one achievable through hard work and diligence.

Then, an accident occurred. The entire world was hit by the advent of the supernatural: planchette spirits, zombies, ghosts, voodoo curses, and all sorts of other eerie entities turned the world upside down. Fortunately, awakened individuals possessing various abilities also emerged among humans, capable of battling these supernatural beings. Most of these awakened individuals were already outstanding before their awakening, each one formidable, either with high intelligence or strong physical prowess. Whether before or after the advent of the supernatural, Luo Shizhen seemed to exist in a different world from these favored children of heaven.

However, one day, Luo Shizhen awakened, becoming the rarest "Purification" awakened person.

Wang Zhaozhao originally had parents. One day, her mother became her paternal aunt, and her father married a stepmother. Later, she gained two more younger sisters: one born to her paternal aunt, and one born to her stepmother.

Life was filled with melodrama, with a big drama unfolding every day. Eventually, the family split. Wang Zhaozhao, this unwanted child, was tossed to her grandparents. For some unknown reason, her grandfather decided he wanted to send Wang Zhaozhao to school...

Xiao Qingcen woke up to find himself having transmigrated to the interstellar era, thousands of years in the future.

Even more outrageous, he seemed to no longer be human. Why would transmigration also involve changing species?

After struggling for a long time to finally break free from his eggshell, Xiao Qingcen looked up and saw his high-definition, extremely cute snow leopard animal form being livestreamed to the entire world.

For the first time, netizens across the stars witnessed a living snow leopard emerging from its egg. Its soft, grayish-white fur, under the sunlight, showed a very faint pinkish-purple hue. Its pink paw pads looked incredibly squeezable. Its tail involuntarily swayed behind it.

"What are you looking at! Haven't you seen a leopard... Huh? I don't seem to be a proper snow leopard either?"

An handsome keeper in a black uniform with black fingerless gloves leaned down, "Cen Cen, it's time for us to return to Planet S."

"What is the Qianni race? Chew, chew, is it delicious?" Xiao Qingcen was full of bravado! However, his body was quite uncooperative, only able to roll around and act spoiled in the hands of this "black-hearted" keeper who had taken on a human form.

"Whine!"

Netizen A: "That official over there! Let go of the adorable little leopard!"

Netizen B: "The little snow leopard belongs to everyone! No stealing!"

The handsome and cold keeper, with a single hand, held up the little snow leopard he had personally raised. Shang Yiqi then dropped a kiss on Xiao Qingcen's lips.

"He's mine." No one can snatch him away.

Wen Qian was recently playing a casual campus RPG game, short for "School Simulator." After staying up all night playing games, she died suddenly. When she opened her eyes again, Wen Qian found herself in the game world. Looking up, she saw the gleaming, pure gold school name – St. Thorns Royal Academy. Looking down, she saw a faded school uniform, plus a student ID card stamped with a "poor student" red mark. Wen Qian, expressionless, had already anticipated the countless bullying—resistance—campus prince—campus princess scenarios she might experience in the future. Forget it, since things have come to this, let's summon a golden finger first. Wen Qian's gaze was firm. So what if she was a poor student? She would defy fate, for being a poor student was just her starting point!

Hello, Player, the game system is online. Congratulations, Player, you have leveled up to level 5. The pre-professional module has been activated. The profession you have drawn is—Beggar. Wen Qian, whose status plummeted, remained silent. So, a perfectly normal daily RPG game turned into a beggar's survival guide for her, right? No one said defying fate could also go in reverse, boohoohoo… Can she still return to her poor student status now? Love what you do, Wen Qian swore to defy fate once again. The first step to defying fate—rummaging through trash cans!

Classmate A: "What is she doing?" Classmate B: "Probably assaulting the trash can… right?" Wen Qian: "Not an assault, this is a cutscene." Wen Qian's diligent figure could be seen everywhere on campus. No matter who it was, as long as someone encountered difficulties, she would instantly appear before them. When someone was curious why she was so enthusiastic about doing good deeds, Student Wen: "As a player, when you see someone with a [!] symbol floating above their head, you'd do the same as me."

Finally, Wen Qian's days became more hopeful. At the same time, the voice assistant, which had been offline for a long time, came back online. "Dear, how's the capture target progression going?" Wen Qian: ? No, no one said we also had to capture targets before!
