Reborn and Transported to Ancient Times as a Study Companion

Qiao Yi died, poisoned by a meal he'd cooked himself.

Dead, yes, but not entirely, because he transmigrated.

He ended up in ancient times in the body of an orphaned child with no parents, living as a beggar.

A nightmare from the start.

What the hell, this was more than a nightmare from the start! Even Pangu had an axe when he created the world. What did Qiao Yi have? Nothing but the rags on his back, already worn past saving.

"..."

Qiao Yi was about to lose it. This was worse than going to the underworld!

Luckily, Heaven had some mercy. Even after shutting every door, it hadn't forgotten to leave Qiao Yi a window to breathe through.

With that little bit of hope, and a few clever tricks, Qiao Yi managed to rise in the world. He gained a mother of noble birth and immense power, and became a pampered young master of a wealthy family.

But he hadn't been a young master for long when someone set their sights on him.

The man outranked him by more than one level, leaving Qiao Yi unable to use his power to bully him back.

Damn it!

Threatened and out of options, Qiao Yi had no choice but to become the man's study companion.

But as a newcomer, Qiao Yi had no idea how much work an ancient study companion had to do.

Fighting, serving, studying alongside him...

Whatever was going on, if the group was heading out, the study companion had to go along.

That much he could accept. But Qiao Yi never expected that warming the man's bed was also part of the job.

What the hell was that supposed to mean? Wasn't he a man? Why should a man warm another man's bed? Get lost!

Coming-soon blurb:

"Huh? What Do You Mean You're a Demon Catcher?"

Li Sheng is a snake demon on Mount Chu. Every day, he wakes up, eats, and goes back to sleep, living a comfortable life. He has made himself a plump, round snake.

As long as he doesn't kill or harm anyone, Li Sheng thinks the next few centuries of his demon life will pass in bliss.

Then one day, Li Sheng gets a sudden craving and ignores everyone's warnings, insisting on going down the mountain to catch a chicken from a farmer. He ends up getting beaten black and blue, and during his escape, can't resist picking up a wooden basin from the river.

When he gets back, he discovers that a human child is lying inside the basin.

"?!"

Li Sheng regrets it. What was he thinking?

He can't throw the child away, but he doesn't dare kill him either.

With no other choice, Li Sheng takes him home and raises him, giving him plenty of good food and care.

But as he raises the child, Li Sheng realizes something seems wrong.

Wasn't the child he raised supposed to be a plump, juicy, simple-minded human who was easy to fool? Why is there a demon catcher covered from head to toe in copper coins standing in front of him?

"..."

Being a demon himself, and having a blood feud with demon catchers, Li Sheng decides he has to strike first and kill the man.

But looking at the handsome, beautiful face he's watched grow up, Li Sheng finds he can't bring himself to do it.

Damn it! Run!

But every time Li Sheng runs, he gets caught and brought back.

"..."

Seriously, man? I'm just a little snake demon, and if you think about it, I'm practically your dad. Is this really necessary? Can't you let your dad go?

"Can a Fool Become Crown Prince Too?"

The fool Su Dadan has had a miserable life since childhood.

His mother died when he was three, and his father when he was seven. The villagers raised him, giving him one bowl of water and one bite of food at a time.

At long last, when he reached twenty, the auntie next door found Su Dadan a match.

The villagers busied themselves with the formal betrothal rituals, choosing a name, making auspicious offerings, and setting a wedding date for Su Dadan and his bride-to-be. Everything was ready.

But who could have guessed that on the wedding day, someone would suddenly come to the village and announce that Su Dadan was the emperor's long-lost son?

Su Dadan was going to be taken away to live a life of luxury, wealth, and status.

"...Huh?!"

Dadan was confused. Dadan was shocked. But Dadan didn't want to go. Dadan just wanted a wife.

But the rewards they offered were too generous to resist, and they even foisted an even prettier bride on Dadan.

The beauty before him left the love-struck Dadan completely dumbfounded.

Let's go! Wife, I'll go with you!

He thought he was heading for a happy married life.

But on their wedding night, Su Dadan discovered that his bride was a man.

"..."

Oh no. He'd gotten greedy.

Su Dadan regretted it. He shouldn't have let himself be seduced by beauty.

Su Dadan wanted a divorce.

But when he saw that beautiful, heavenly face again, he had no backbone and gave in to its charms once more.

"Husband, are you leaving?"

Beneath the covered walkway in the afternoon, dappled sunlight fell around the beauty as he glanced back with tear-filled eyes. His gaze was as tender as water, and it captured Dadan's heart at once.

Su Dadan shook his head on the spot. "I'm not leaving! I'm not leaving! I'll never leave again!"

If this was the face he would wake up to every day, then being with a man... might not be so bad.
