★ Coming soon: 1) After Swapping Bodies with My Nemesis 2) Posledovatel

Synopsis: (50% paywall)

Everyone says the Pavilion of Hades is where all the most heinous criminals gather. Its master is said to be vicious, cruel, and unpredictable, with countless lives on his hands. Most people believe he is hideously ugly, with a blue-green face and fangs, frightening enough to stop a child from crying.

But no one knows that the current master of the Pavilion of Hades has a bearing and looks beyond the ordinary. Aside from his cold, aloof nature and lack of a smile, his only hobby is picking up cats, dogs, and children.

Ye Hanzhou did not become the master of the Pavilion of Hades by chance. He had tasted life's warmth and cold, witnessed every kind of human fate, and climbed step by step to that fearsome seat over the bones of those he hated and drinking the blood of those he loved.

No one knows that beneath Ye Hanzhou's seemingly cold and heartless exterior lies a shattered heart, scarred beyond repair. It took ten years of painstaking effort, along with his young disciple's thoughtful care and gentle treatment, for it to begin to heal.

Who could have guessed that life would take such an unexpected turn? As time passed, his young disciple came to look more and more like someone from Ye Hanzhou's past who had already died. For the sake of a long-laid plan, Ye Hanzhou had no choice but to cruelly abandon the disciple who had been by his side for ten years.

The young disciple grew up as Ye Hanzhou had hoped, but the two drifted farther and farther apart. Just as Ye Hanzhou's wish had been fulfilled and he was preparing to leave, his young disciple suddenly revealed his true, ferocious nature.

His young disciple, now emperor, pinned him against the wall and ground out through clenched teeth, "Were you good to me only because you saw me as a stand-in?"

Jun Bugui had always believed he was special in Ye Hanzhou's eyes, that his icy master treated him differently from everyone else.

He had thought that even a block of ice would eventually melt if he kept it warm. But Jun Bugui despairingly discovered that his master's heart could neither be warmed nor thawed.

He had always been obedient, wearing a mask of innocence and good behavior in front of his master. He had thought that one day the clouds would part and the moon would appear, but in the end, he lost everything. He got the throne that others longed for, but Ye Hanzhou refused to give him the one thing he wanted: his true affection.

Later, he accidentally learned that Ye Hanzhou had treated him well only because he resembled someone from his master's past.

Notes:

1. Jun Bugui (gong) x Ye Hanzhou (shou), master and disciple, with the gong younger than the shou.

2. The first part is mostly told from the gong's perspective, but the story is mainly from the shou's perspective.

3. The gong is very devoted to the shou. [Emphasis added]

After Swapping Bodies with My Nemesis

Synopsis:

After finishing his healing meditation, Lu Qingci woke up to discover that he had switched bodies with Mu Ling from Qionghua Mountain.

Mu Ling was the one responsible for the injuries that had forced him into seclusion to heal. He was also a prodigious talent among the current generation of the Martial Alliance.

They say Mu Ling has spent years living a disciplined life of arduous cultivation. Every day, before dawn, he runs five miles to train his body. He draws his sword to help those in need, and his righteous spirit is so noble it moves heaven and earth!

Meanwhile, Lu Qingci is the demonic sect leader who rules over his own territory, wreaks havoc, and is infamous far and wide. The righteous martial world wants nothing more than to eliminate him!

After switching bodies, Lu Qingci only wants to return to the demonic sect as soon as possible. He doesn't care about Mu Ling's daily training.

But later Lu Qingci discovers, damn it, this body will be poisoned if it doesn't run five miles every day. That hypocrite Mu Ling has been practicing purely to stay alive!

Everyone says that Lu Qingci, the demonic sect leader, spends every night carousing and has seven concubines at his side! He is vicious and ruthless, killing people as casually as breathing. The imperial court lets him run rampant without intervening, all because he has a secret deal with the emperor!

But Mu Ling discovers that Lu Qingci doesn't seem to match the rumors.

The people he killed were all vicious criminals, and the emperor treats him well because they're brothers.

As for those seven concubines...

"Kiddo, did someone bully you again? Tell Auntie, and I'll beat him until he's crying for his parents!"

"Qingci, Second Auntie's medical skills have improved again. Lie down and let me give you a few acupuncture needles."

"Qingci, Third Auntie is back from beating up scumbags, and I even picked up a shy young man~"

"Xiao Ci, your Fifth Auntie and Sixth Auntie have pledged themselves to each other. You need to find someone soon, too."

"Seventh Girl only cares about writing her stories. Don't disturb her unless it's important."

Synopsis:

Only after Xie Yi died did he learn that he was a minor character who served as cannon fodder in a fairy tale. His purpose was to bring the prince and princess together and thereby highlight the greatness of their love.

Fairy tales are fairy tales because they always show a romantic, beautiful side. No one knows how many wronged souls, lives, and piles of flesh and bones lie behind those seemingly happy, moving stories.

Even after Xie Yi became a god, he was still an unremarkable "useless god." The divine realm seemed fair and friendly, but it was also divided into a hierarchy. If Xie Yi hadn't been related to the prince, he might not even have been granted a divine position.

At the end of the story, the "useless god" Xie Yi was dragged by the other gods and thrown out of the divine realm. His divine power eventually ran dry, and his soul was scattered to the winds.

When Xie Yi opened his eyes again, he discovered that he had been reborn. It was the third day after he had been thrown from the divine realm, or the third year in the human world.

He had no followers, and his divine power was nearly exhausted. Just then... the Demon King, hidden in the darkness, silently spread his wings and arrived as promised.

The Demon King has many followers. He is always smiling, charming and graceful, and appears to take everything in stride. Almost no one can resist being captivated when those blood-red eyes settle on them.

But the Demon King was not always admired. He, too, once knew poverty and humiliation. The only person who ever saw that side of him... was already dead. The Demon King learned the truth only three years after that person's death.

The gift he had given that person during his own hard times had been stolen by someone else. The subordinates he had sent out while asleep had ended up helping the wrong person. Even the hypocritical gods of the heavenly realm had turned on the one he cherished, driving that person to the point of having their soul scattered.

Luckily, before the Demon King fell asleep, he had placed his heart with that person. He had caused their misfortune himself, so... he should be the one to turn everything around.

Theme: Leave disappointment behind. Hope is always right in front of you.
