Novel List

Ye Zhi, carrying the top-tier cooking skills from his game account, transmigrates into the body of an Earl’s son and becomes a frontier lord.

“Legendary beasts? Ancient plague dragons? They all seem to make good food…”

A story of a chef, swordsman, poet, and king.

As a high-risk individual, Ye Sangsang received an invitation to the beta test of the holographic game “Criminal Files.”

As a game known for its high degree of freedom, high adaptability, and extremely realistic simulations based on real criminal cases, its beta release garnered significant attention.

As a condition of the beta test, she was required to livestream her gameplay.

Delicate, beautiful, and silent—these were the words often associated with Ye Sangsang.

As a game that had captured the nation’s high expectations, many were baffled when they saw Ye Sangsang.

This was quickly followed by ridicule.

“Someone like her playing from the criminal’s perspective? The victim would probably turn the tables on her.”

“Is she going in as an investigator? A beautiful but useless burden?”

“The victim escaping alive? Don’t make me laugh.”

But as the cases progressed, Ye Sangsang gradually left the audience in awe.

“The criminal!!! Oh no, lock her up, I’m terrified of how she kills!”

“Investigation? Come on, can you guys keep up with Sangsang’s pace?”

“The victim! Ahhh, what a bloody battlefield!”

The livestream chat, once filled with skepticism, eventually overflowed with admiration.

Some even began to suspect that she might actually be a high-intelligence criminal herself.

It wasn’t until later that Ye Sangsang’s holographic crime scene simulations helped solve one real-life case after another.

Audience: ???!!!

Ye Sangsang, facing the camera: Please note, I only perform once.

[Reading Tips:]

1. This story is set in a futuristic, fictional world with holographic crime simulation games. Everything is virtual, so please do not draw parallels to reality.

2. Some parts of the story may reference real-life cases.

This is a story about a demon and a manga.

Previously a human, Yuan Yuan Yuan had accidentally became a half-demon. As a half-demon, she abided by the rules of the demon realm, and wholeheartedly attempted to keep her identity as a half-demon under wraps.

However, her peaceful life came to a halt after that one night — she disguised herself and saved a human from a demon.

One week later, when she was flipping through her favourite manga that she had been following, she suddenly discovered that the plot contained a disconcertingly familiar sight.

A black haired demon… had saved a human from another demon…

With his extraordinary abilities, strikingly handsome, aristocratic face and enigmatic background, the male demon quickly rose in fame as a 2D fiction character. Yuan Yuan Yuan looked at the latest chapter of the manga, flabbergasted, before she decided to quietly chomp on some chips and choose to selectively close both eyes — none of this is real!

Soon, she realised there was a pattern to this. Ever since that night, there was a very high chance that the things she did would appear in the manga.

In fact, whatever occured in the manga were things that had happened in reality as well. Therefore, in order to stay alive, Yuan Yuan Yuan had to try her best to hide her identity

As time passed, those that were interested in such unsolved mysteries came to realise the uncanny similarities between the manga and reality, and the pattern that it appeared to follow. And so, they started searching for these 2D characters in the real world.

What would you do with a second life in a fictional world?

A system offered Li Li another chance after she died of overwork. She would be able to travel freely between a popular manhua at night and the real world during the day.

However, if her character in the manhua wasn’t popular enough at any point, she would die for real.

Li Li pondered for a moment.

Then she nodded and asked the system:

‘Do you guys support facial customization?’

She wanted a handsome face this time!

A ‘phantom’ without a past suddenly appeared in the superpowered society where strength triumphed over all.

‘He’ was the avenger consumed by deep resentment and hatred; a stubborn, paranoid lunatic.

‘He’ used smiles to disguise his intentions and falsehoods to conceal the truth.

‘He’ appeared proud and unfettered, but no one could perceive the solitude consuming ‘his’ inner world

The readers shed countless tears for him, creating mountains of fanfics, fanart and AUs to try and move the world to his plight.

Yet in the eyes of the manhua denizens, this lunatic of a powerhouse was synonymous with sin.

Manhua denizens: He’s experienced tragedy? Don’t make me laugh!

“*sobs* My bias is so tragic!!!” The roommate blubbered as she read the latest update.

‘Her bias’, aka Li Li, just chuckled. “Poor you. Want a cup of bubble tea?”

“Yes!” The roommate hiccuped.

No CP.

So, you’re saying that for the past twenty years since you were born, you’ve been able to control your dreams and do whatever you want in them?”

“Yes. Outlaw shenanigans, flying planes, parkour, street shootouts… I’ve done all of it countless times.”

“Frankly speaking, the crimes I’ve committed in my dreams could promote an entire region’s police force!”

“But I turned over a new leaf later.”

“Why?”

“Because…”

Standing at the crossroads, Xu Huo extinguished the cigarette in his hand, his gaze becoming distant as he looked at the horrific scene before him—a tragedy of four corpses nailed to crosses, their hollow eyes staring into nothingness, blood pooling beneath them.

“My dreams came true.”

After the disappearance of his parents, Chen Ge inherits the family-run haunted house attraction at an amusement park. Struggling to bring in customers, he discovers a black phone that grants him the chance to improve his haunted house with expanded scenarios, mastery of skills, the possibility of inviting supernatural inhabitants, and even clues as to what happened to his parents—but first, he must complete terrifying and dangerous haunted quests within 24 hours.

The hearse with the weird odor slowed to a stop before the entrance. The sound of pebbles could be heard bouncing on the ceiling. There were footsteps coming from the corridor, and there seemed to be someone sawing next door. The door knob to the room rattled slightly, and the faucet in the bathroom kept dripping even though it had been screwed shut. There was a rubber ball that rolled on its own underneath the bed. Wet footsteps started to surface one after another on the floor.

At 3 am, Chen Ge held a cleaver in his hand as he hid beside the room heater. The call he was trying to make was finally answered. “Landlord, is this what you meant by ‘the house can be a little crowded at night’‽”

My name is Yan, and since I was a child, I’ve been able to see some strange things.

For example—

In elementary school, our new neighbor Aunt Tan had a pair of all-around genius twins, who were like the “precious little geniuses” with halos above their heads. They could recite the English-Chinese dictionary backwards at three, master both Chinese and Western musical instruments by five, and hack into a country’s database by seven…

Growing up next to such prodigies, my life was inhumane, tragic, and constantly subjected to comparisons.

To escape the comparisons with these “other people’s children,” I specifically applied to a private boarding school for middle school.

On my first day, my deskmate was a small, thin girl with bangs, wearing an old uniform, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito’s.

Three months later, she woke up from a nap with a “rebirth” halo above her head.

She moved effortlessly among the cold academic genius, the wolf-like school bully, the fierce boss, and the gentle childhood friend, leaving me, a lonely onlooker, utterly amazed.

By university, I thought I had finally escaped this abnormal world.

But as soon as I stepped into my dorm room, my footsteps froze.

My roommates each had halos like “ancient times to modern,” “post-apocalyptic superhuman,” “will die if not spending money,” and “ghost king revival.”

I clutched my little blanket and applied to the counselor for a room change, but to no avail.

Over time, I gradually got used to it. “Handover systems,” “management systems,” “book transmigration,” “infinite worlds,” “three-and-a-half-year-olds,” “interstellar live streams,” “red envelope groups”…

The types of halos kept increasing, and I was able to calmly ignore all of it, focusing on my own life.

Every morning, I skillfully helped my “ancient to modern” roommate, who was being blacklisted online, dodge campus paparazzi and secure seats for class.

At noon, I assisted my tycoon roommate in distributing today’s haul of luxury skincare and designer bags, tasting the city’s top private chef’s custom lunchbox, and exclaiming with emotion, “Darling, can I really accept these?”

In the evening, I enjoyed the flowers and plants cultivated by my superhuman roommate on the balcony, tasting a mutated cherry tomato and commenting, “I feel refreshed and purified.”

Late at night, when my ghost king roommate quietly climbed back through the window, I peeked out to ask, “You’re back a bit late today, didn’t bring anything back, did you?”

My name is Yan, and I am not the protagonist of this world.

In 1991, Zhao Xiangwan entered Hunan Police Academy, but a late-night knock on the door threw her into a chaotic family drama.

When her eleven-year-old adopted sister, Meimei, lost her younger sibling, their mother was on the verge of a breakdown:

"Tell me! Where did you leave the baby?"

Meimei cried bitterly, "I didn’t mean to! I don’t remember!"

While everyone insisted, "She’s just a child, don’t push her," Zhao Xiangwan remained calm and clear-headed: "She’s lying."

Using her mind-reading ability disguised as microexpression analysis, Zhao Xiangwan helped recover the lost child. From that moment, she became involved in one major criminal case after another:

The Headless Corpse Case

The School Poisoning Case

The Hidden Body in a Suitcase Case

Her remarkable success left people astonished:

"Breaking two major cases in one day? Incredible!"

From her colleagues in the major crimes unit to the criminal sketch artist who admired her, everyone saw her as a legend. Even business tycoons and global power players owed her gratitude, recognizing her as a national hero.

Despite the titles of Chief Crime Investigator and Mind-Reading Detective, Zhao Xiangwan stayed humble. With her mind-reading power, she vowed to bring justice to the virtuous and punishment to the wicked.

Tang Qingqing realized she was the heroine of a book while tracking sheep footprints over mountains, searching for a lost herd.

According to the original storyline, she was supposed to be the delicate daughter of a factory director, living in a white villa, eating commodity grain, and basking in the adoration of everyone around her.

Later, she would marry a man who cherished her, raise two stepchildren who would become future tycoons, and have three adorable and intelligent children of her own, living a blissful life.

But now, a transmigrated cannon fodder has taken her place, seizing everything that should have belonged to her.

The plot god insists she must correct the story, steal back the male lead before the transmigrator hooks him. However, Tang Qingqing is indifferent.

“Let her have him. There are plenty of men in the world.”

With her life swapped, she is no longer that delicate flower. Her mindset has changed.

Now free, she uses her honed skills to solve countless cases, rising to fame as the "Divine-Eye Heroine" in the criminal investigation world.

Meanwhile, Zhai Hongyi, a notorious troublemaker sent to the countryside as punishment, becomes utterly docile under the guidance of a rural girl. Everyone is stunned by the transformation of this unruly wild horse, now disciplined and even fiercer than before.

When the girl appears—radiant as the sun and impossible to ignore—people sigh: “It must’ve been a beauty trap!”

Zhai Hongyi smirks, “Childish. When I met her, she was just a skinny little country bumpkin.”

When this beauty starts solving major cases with nothing but footprints, the world realizes she’s been a hidden powerhouse all along.

Horror-themed full-immersion game “Loading for Your Life” was wildly popular upon its release, amassing a massive player base. In just three months, players had cleared all the dungeons and crafted detailed guides to assist others. Wave after wave of pro gamers emerged, basking in glowing reviews from the gaming community.

As the game’s planner, Ruan Jiyan was thrilled with its success.

Until one night, everything changed.

Suddenly, unfixable bugs flooded the game. Players who “died” in-game could no longer recover their accounts. The game’s ratings plummeted to the lowest possible level.

Ruan Jiyan found herself unexpectedly bound to a system and forced to enter the game to assist players directly.

Logging in, she discovered the situation was far worse than she imagined:

- Players who “died” in the game disappeared from both forums and real life.

- Mysterious dungeons existed that she, the game planner, had never seen.

- NPCs seemed to target her specifically, alongside a shadowy figure monitoring her every move.

- Behind it all was the dungeon’s hidden boss, with motives far from ordinary.

The deeper she delved, the more Ruan Jiyan realized that the line between the game and reality had blurred, and the so-called "bugs" were no accident.

What do you do when the game becomes your real world, full of lurking dangers?

Ruan Jiyan: Eliminate every threat until they know who the true boss is in this game!

As the only real NPC in the dungeons, her mission was to guide players to clear them successfully. Whether inside or outside the game, she had to craft strategies for others. Bored to death, she declared:

Ruan Jiyan: I’ll eliminate everything outside this game—even that boss.

Only at the end did she discover that the game’s greatest conspiracy revolved around… her.
