Drowned in the Moonlight

Coming soon: Tower Defense: Three Kingdoms (ID: 6541864)

Painting was both a way for Wen Yue to make a living and the ultimate meaning of her life, until she could no longer paint.

After cutting ties with people and shutting herself away, Wen Yue tried to find a new goal in life, but only grew more and more hollow.

Li Mindong had always felt out of place because of his mixed-race background. The only person who had ever shown him warmth was his younger brother. He kept sacrificing himself for his brother, and no matter how difficult life became, Li Mindong believed it had meaning. Until he heard his brother say to his face that he was disgusting.

The belief that had kept Li Mindong going collapsed. Before he could take his own life, he inexplicably contacted Wen Yue, whom he had met only a few times. "I... may I see you one more time?"

"Yes."

Wen Yue agreed casually. She had no idea that her spur-of-the-moment kindness would save both her life and Li Mindong's.

You only see me as a model for your paintings, yet I would give you my soul.

A devoted, bear-like man with a one-sided crush × a genius whose eyes see nothing but art

Luo Jiacheng had hated Wen Yue since childhood for caring only about art and never about him. He thought that even if he treated her lightly and looked down on her, Wen Yue would always wait for him to show her affection. After all, only he could understand Wen Yue as an artist. He never imagined that she would disappear without a word, then leave as if she had no intention of ever returning.

Luo Jiacheng regretted it. When Wen Yue returned to the country, he hurried over at once, wanting to ask, "Are you done throwing your little tantrum? If you are, come home with me." But Wen Yue was held in the arms of a man taller, sturdier, and even more handsome than him, her eyes brimming with love and happiness.

Even an eccentric who cared only about creating could look like that? Luo Jiacheng, who had never once been looked at that way by Wen Yue, felt suffocated.

Completed contemporary romance: Pampering My Childhood Friend (ID=2519046)

Qi Qi discovers that her boyfriend has been discussing marriage with her while cheating on her.

After two glasses of liquor, a thoroughly drunk Qi Qi, heartbroken over the expense, cries to her childhood friend and platonic male bestie: "Waaah, the wedding photos, banquet, and honeymoon are all booked. If I go cancel them alone, I don't know how people will laugh at me... Xiao Ze, you have to come with me, waaaah..."

The childhood friend, aloof to everyone but devoted to Qi Qi, lowers his head and kisses her.

"Sure. I'll go with you. But there's no need to cancel anything. We should upgrade the plans instead."

His eyes burn with a warmth Qi Qi has never seen before as he says, "I've liked you for a long time."

Qi Qi looks at her childhood friend's long, lowered lashes and the two beauty marks beneath his eyes, and her mind goes blank.

-

When they were young, Gu Ze was the kind of boy who would prop up the sky with his mouth if it fell. His biggest worry was how to make his childhood friend confess to him first. He tried every trick he could think of, but in the end, all he did was hurt the girl who mattered most to him.

He regretted it too late. What was done could not be undone. His childhood friend's heart was firmly shut, and she alone shut him out.

Afraid that she would keep pushing him away, Gu Ze became her platonic male best friend, and stayed in that role for nearly ten years.

When he received her wedding invitation, Gu Ze was in despair. Luckily, her clueless boyfriend handed him the perfect opportunity.

Setting aside his pride and swallowing his dignity, Gu Ze decided that this time, he would win his childhood friend over and bring her into his arms.

Completed fantasy romance: My Husband Split into 1,000 Copies (ID=1921621)

Word around the company was that Qiao Qiao, project director of the architecture team, had turned into a terrifying shrew after the receptionist stole her boyfriend. Plenty of people sighed that at over thirty, with such a fiery temper and blunt personality, Master Qiao was surely destined to remain single, unwanted by anyone.

Once nicknamed Big Qiao and now called Master Qiao, Qiao Qiao let out a cold laugh. "Doomed to remain single? Hah. Not only can this master get married, I can marry 1,000 handsome young men. Believe it or not?"

Shen Cang: "Honey, even though I split into 1,000 copies, you're still only married to me."

Completed xianxia: The Motherly Venerable Picked Up a Bewitching Demon Cultivator (ID=4906191)

After her sect was destroyed, the mortally wounded demon cultivator Xie Wei, a member of the Charm Sect, jumped off a cliff. As it happened, she landed right on top of a monk and caused him to lose his memory.

Seeing the amnesiac fool of a monk tending to her day and night, Xie Wei felt deeply moved and utterly ashamed. After all, she was the one who had caused his memory loss, yet he was taking such good care of her. So she used the monk to raise her cultivation and ran off.

Xie Wei: Thanks for the skill points and experience. *Bows.*

Cihang once made a great vow to save all beings in the Three Realms.

If someone wanted his cultivation, he gave it. If a demon wanted his heart, he gave it. If a fiend wanted to devour his golden body, he gave it.

Everything Cihang did was for one purpose: to save others.

"If doing so can save you, then I am willing."

Cihang, who could see the secrets of fate, knew that a demon cultivator would slaughter countless cultivators for revenge. He sent an incarnation out of the Buddhist realm, intending to save her.

The demon cultivator said she dreamed of a husband, children, and a warm home. So Cihang promised her a lifetime of wedded bliss, intending to save her by offering himself and thereby spare countless lives. He never expected her to use him to raise her cultivation and run off.

At first, he wanted to stop the demon cultivator from taking revenge. Later, he wanted to stop her from roaming around, using people to replenish her energy and cultivate.

Later still, Xie Wei propped her chin on her hand and looked at the Buddhist cultivator beside her. "Venerable, are you doing all this to save me?"

Cihang raised his eyes slightly, Buddhist light flowing around him. "Benefactor, are you willing to let me save you today?"

"Save my ass!"

Xie Wei was so furious she turned over and slapped the bed with her nine tails.

Cihang asked with a smile,

"Then, Benefactor, would you like to save me?"

I thought all beings in the Three Realms needed me to save them. It was only when I met you that I learned how hard it is to reach the other shore, and that only you can save me.

Theme: Falling in love can help a couple grow together and become better.
