That Man

(Full manuscript completed)

Shan Xian took a very unusual part-time job. The pay was excellent, but it was dangerous: he was supposed to keep a man with a mental illness and violent tendencies company, talk with him, and try to counsel him.

Shan Xian opened the villa door with trepidation, only to find that the man was nothing like the disheveled patient he had imagined. Instead, he was a refined, elegant man who was impeccably groomed, even trimming his nails so short they were almost down to the quick.

Then, before he knew it, Shan Xian had fallen into a trap.

.

Shan Xian knew You Ye was dangerous, and he knew the man was hiding many secrets. But he never expected You Ye's greatest secret to be this: the name of the person he loved, a name he had refused to reveal even after enduring tens of thousands of electric shocks at a conversion camp. That person was Shan Xian.

Because he loved him, the deranged dragon had bitten off his own claws and ground down his fangs, then carefully donned a human guise and stood before him.

A genuinely mentally ill, mad, obsessive, and extremely troublesome gong x a sensitive shou who pretends to be stupid and effortlessly trains dogs, a genius

Recommending the xianxia story about falling in love with yourself, The Darkened Me and I Become Dao Companions, starting 6/4

When Luo Chuanxue attained the Great Dao, he did something that defied all convention. He reversed time and returned to the day he formally joined Cangyun Jian at eighteen, appearing before his younger self to tell him a story.

Eighteen-year-old Luo Chuanxue looked at the blood-soaked man. "So in the future, Master will covet my sword bones and push me into danger, then rip out every bone in my body. My senior brother will turn love into hate and throw me into the Demon Abyss, where I'll suffer as a thousand ghosts devour me..."

He rubbed his chin and sighed. "All right, you can heal here first."

As for whether he believed him, of course he did.

If he really encountered the things the man had described, he would surely reverse time to save his past self.

.

The newly recruited sword cultivator genius at Cangyun Jian has been quite rebellious lately. Not only has he broken the sect's rules by practicing techniques outside the sword path, he has also been tangled up in a flirtatious relationship with a demonic cultivator.

Despite the endless rumors about Luo Chuanxue, people still come forward to confess their feelings to him.

One day, right after Luo Chuanxue received a confession, someone grabbed him and slammed him against a tree. It was his other self.

He gripped Luo Chuanxue's chin, pressed their lips together, and spoke in a cold, hoarse voice. "I didn't reverse time so you could fall in love. Those people don't really love you."

Luo Chuanxue blinked. "So you won't even let me form a marriage bond with myself?"

The demonic cultivator version of Luo Chuanxue: "..."

Fine.

After all, no one could love him more than himself.

A scheming, masterful actor after turning dark x an easy mark who hasn't been tempered yet

Recommending the infinite-flow story The Creator, starting 9/12

Lu Hui (Jun Chaoman) writes no-CP stories for an online platform. The male lead of his latest no-CP infinite-flow novel is such a villain that the site has repeatedly demanded revisions.

Looking at the latest murder scene he'd written, he sighed. "What am I supposed to do to save you?"

That very night, Lu Hui transmigrated into the infinite-flow novel he had written. When he opened his eyes, he saw his male lead, a vindictive, easily corrupted, ruthless killer who slaughtered people as casually as chopping vegetables, tied to a bed. And Lu Hui was sitting at the foot of it.

Lu Hui met his cold, murderous gaze: "..."

What a hellish difficulty setting from the start.

.

Because he knew the characters he had created so well, Lu Hui knew exactly how to survive the madman's clutches.

He kept himself alive by revealing just enough mysteries, but in doing so, he drew Ming Zhaolin's attention. Every time they met again, if Lu Hui failed to give him a new surprise, Ming Zhaolin would kill him.

Everyone in this world knew Lu Hui was Ming Zhaolin's prey, and a prey no one else was allowed to touch.

Once, one of Ming Zhaolin's fanatical followers took it upon himself to kill Lu Hui. Ming Zhaolin crushed the hand that had accidentally brushed a single strand of Lu Hui's hair. His voice was amused, yet full of menace. "You know he's my prey, and you still dare touch him?"

.

Every player here has a special ability, and Lu Hui's is the most unusual of all: the Creator's Card Book.

He can draw cards that belong to him, and no one but him can use them.
