The Moon of Olden Days: Quick Transmigration

Blurb One:

They are the lucky survivors, returned from the "Endless Reincarnation."

Like the moon of old, they shine a light on the night of today.

Some returned to their own worlds, while others found themselves in entirely different realms. But for all of them, this is a new life and a new journey.

Blurb Two:

[Volume One] The Spider's Nest

Carefree zookeeper, Yao Ming × Stranded mermaid, Heweila

Deep in an Arctic research lab, a special mermaid is kept in captivity. He is savage and cruel, a ruthless killer, yet exceptionally skilled at disguise. Everyone he beguiles and who tries to approach or tame him is dragged underwater and drowned alive. As time passed, no one dared go near him, much less take the previous unlucky person's place as the caretaker destined to die at his hands.

The laboratory had no choice but to recruit a new caretaker.

The generous salary and a workday of only two hours attracted a large crowd of applicants. One lucky person emerged from among them.

The employees, all too aware of the horrors involved, speculated about when the new caretaker would die. They even set up a betting pool. But one day passed, then two... A month passed, then two... And he still wasn't dead!?

Yao Ming, who spins his own webbing to make ends meet, knits a sweater and sighs: This place is great. My coworkers are friendly, the work is easy... Best of all, I got a partner for free!

#Guys, who gets it? My husband fell in love at first sight and hugged me and kissed me right away. He's so passionate, it's making this spider blush#

The mermaid, who can't bite through spider hide: ???

[Volume Two] Might Makes Right

Top-tier Alpha office worker, Yuan Qing × Top-tier Omega elite CEO, Meng Lu

The only lesson Yuan Qing learned from the "Endless Reincarnation" was to work hard, be self-sufficient, and never rely on anyone, because mountains crumble and people run away. He could only depend on himself. Yuan Qing, who couldn't do anything, had always been a lackey to the big shots in the "Endless Reincarnation." Apart from his great strength, his only other talent was knowing when to act like a useful tool.

Back in his original world, Yuan Qing found his first job hauling bricks at a construction site, since it required no education. His second job was bodyguard to the site's biggest boss, and that one didn't require an education either.

As it happened, Yuan Qing knew the boss. The man had once sponsored his schooling, but Yuan Qing had dropped out of high school.

Meng Lu, a top-tier Omega, had the misfortune of developing pheromone dysregulation. In the third year of his illness, his doctor gave him a critical condition notice. He had only two options: find a top-tier Alpha to bond with, or have his gland removed.

For reasons dating back to his youth, Meng Lu loathed and resisted Alphas, so choosing the first option was out of the question. But if he had his gland removed... he would live no more than ten years.

Just as Meng Lu was about to stake everything on a desperate gamble, he came across someone familiar while inspecting a construction project. He recognized him at a glance: the young boy he had once sponsored, who had later dropped out of school for reasons he never learned.

After all these years, the boy who once only reached Meng Lu's eyebrows had grown half a head taller than him and presented as a top-tier Alpha.

A door seemed to have quietly opened in the dead end before him.

[Volume Three] A Righteous Evil God Descends from the Heavens

Demigod from Beyond, Lou Yi × Beautiful, Tragic Immortal Lord, Diwuxin

First, the sect expelled Diwuxin for murdering a fellow disciple. Then his former friend betrayed him, leaving his cultivation completely destroyed. Finally, he became the most popular prey in the demons' hunting grounds. Barely clinging to life, Diwuxin hid in a bottomless cave and quietly waited for death to come.

What arrived before death was a demigod from beyond, awakened by his blood.

Diwuxin thought his fate was already sealed. Yet on that day, destiny took a sharp turn. A divine being with fantastical eyes opened in the darkness and gazed at him tenderly. Its butterfly-like, brilliant feelers curled around a blooming flower and held it out to him

Oh, the demigod from beyond was courting him.

[Volume Four] Thus Spoke the Supreme Will

Hive Mind, Zheng Yu × Rebel Leader of the Insectoid Race, Xiboer

After another successful attack on an imperial transport fleet, the rebels returned with a full haul. Near the orbital path of a dead star, they found an egg as big as a room. Its surface shimmered with a pearly, lustrous glow that mesmerized the insects.

They took it back with them.

Tests revealed a living creature inside the egg, one whose appearance resembled their own. Some insects believed the creature inside was female; others thought it was male.

"Keep the females. Kill the males."

Xiboer, former Imperial Marshal and current rebel leader, made the call coldly.

A month later, the egg melted away. Xiboer, who had become the egg's almost-exclusive guardian, was caught off guard when he met a pair of golden eyes. In an instant, it was as though he had witnessed the rise and fall of a civilization, the flourishing and extinction of a species.

The good news: the creature inside the egg wasn't male.

The bad news: it wasn't female either.

So what exactly was it?

That no longer mattered.

No one here wanted to get rid of it, not even the cold and ruthless Xiboer.

[Volume Five] The Night the Dead First Love Returned

Dead First Love, Xie Lang × Aloof, Frail Beauty, Xi Zhuo

Xi Zhuo is the universally adored bottom in a modern urban occult romance from a certain gay fiction site. The bewitching Ghost King, the powerful CEO of the capital's elite circle, and the gloomy Celestial Master are all godlike tops who fall in love with him at first sight. By convention, since he has a dead first love in his heart, he can't accept their advances. They will act out a tragic romance of "he runs, they chase, and he can't escape," with a little plot mixed in with a lot of life-affirming intimacy.

In the end, the godlike tops who love him more than life itself reach an agreement and decide to share their lover. #Nothing matters more than the four of us building a happy life together#

Born frail, Xi Zhuo will also recover his health under the nourishment of their love and live happily ever after.

But

Is that really what happens?

At night, Xi Zhuo curls up in his bedroom, clutching a cold memorial tablet. By day, this man shines like a blazing sun on the summit's stage. Now, however, he looks like a frightened little animal surrounded by terrifying beasts: weak, pitiful, and lost.

His gaze unfocused, he stares at a point in the empty air. The footsteps drawing closer outside the door echo clearly in his ears. He knows they are the claws of an evil spirit, deliberately drawing near to frighten him.

This sound, this experience, has played out so many times that he almost knows what will happen next.

Knock, knock, knock.

The ghost is at the door.

Then, stopped by the talismans, it will claw at his newly replaced door...

"A Zhuo."

This time, the piercing, terrifying scratching never comes. Instead, he hears a voice he knows all too well, one that has haunted his dreams.

The "person" outside the door chuckles and says, sweet as honey steeped in poison, "I'm back. Could you open the door for me?"

That is...!

Xi Zhuo's pupils contract as he abruptly hugs the memorial tablet tighter.

The cold tablet clearly bears the inscription:

In memory of my late husband, Xie Lang.

Dead First Love, Xie Lang: Guys, who gets it? I just got back and immediately heard that three idiots were trying to force themselves on my wife. Ha! That actually made me laugh with rage.

Do they really think I, the Ghost Lord of Ai Mountain, can't wield a blade anymore?

Die, idiots!

[Volume Six] The Hunters Become the Hunted

Unconventional-Eating Neighbor Kid, Fu Jinchao × Unlucky Protagonist Surrounded by Pursuers, Yu Chuanci

Fu Jinchao was lucky enough to survive the temporal turbulence, and his luck hit the jackpot on the very first day back in the world where he was born. He received a gift from beyond the world: a soul intruder claiming to be a System for Side-Character Comebacks.

He ate it, then discovered there were plenty more energy-rich Systems like it.

Fu Jinchao, sharpening his knife as he eyes the Systems: Thank you, Mother Nature, for the bounty!

Yu Chuanci, the aloof CEO of the modern age, is in the middle of a thoroughly bewildering chapter of his life.

After waking up from a near-drowning, he discovers that the world has completely changed. He is surrounded by hyenas called "pursuers," each looking at him like a trophy they want to skin alive.

He feels confused, helpless, and terrified, but has no choice but to pull himself together and play along with these people, hoping to find a way out and a chance to escape.

Then one day, the kid from next door comes back, and the key to the escape he has been desperately seeking falls right from the sky

Those haughty, arrogant pursuers and Systems scream and flee at the sight of the neighbor kid, who is especially well-behaved around him.

They call the young man: The Devourer.

[Volume Seven] I'll Pick Up Trash and Take Care of You

Serpent-Dragon God, Seli Tiya × Humanity's Strongest Fighter, Feng Ying

Seli Tiya, an undocumented outsider rejected by the world, has such a long health bar that he barely cares about the world's intermittent attacks. He cheerfully picks up trash, occasionally spitting up a little blood, and takes the opportunity to prove to the world that he's harmless.

Seli Tiya: I absolutely love picking up trash!

The "trash" whose throats he has grabbed: "Profane words in an alien language"

Feng Ying thinks the luckiest thing that has ever happened to him, the one thing worth framing and bragging about to future generations, was meeting the love of his life while out on a mission one day and cleverly capturing his beloved with a bird trap.

Bird trap: bait, a basket, a branch, and a rope.

Oh, he was the bait, and he was also the hunter holding the rope.

The "bird" caught in the trap unfurls dragon wings that blot out the sky and winds a long, serpentine tail around the hunter. Standing atop a blood-soaked alien creature, he gives a soaring cry and announces to the world:

Human, I'll pick up trash and take care of you!

[Volume Eight] After the Divorce Agreement

Overly Considerate, Slightly Motherly, Chen Yourong × Tight-Lipped, Slightly Tsundere, Ming Huo

Ming Huo once had a year-long arranged marriage for business reasons. His spouse was Chen Yourong, the second son of the Luo family, who had gone missing eighteen years earlier. The first thing Chen did after being found was take the place of the Luo family's younger son and marry Ming Huo, the notorious wastrel.

Chen Yourong was a perfect spouse for an arranged marriage. Even Ming Huo couldn't find a single fault with him. In public, Chen played the part of a considerate, respectful partner. In private, he strictly followed the agreement Ming Huo had made him sign, never crossing the line even by a fraction.

Chen Yourong was too perfect. So perfect that Ming Huo gradually let go of his resistance to the arranged marriage, so perfect that Ming Huo couldn't help falling for him, so perfect that Ming Huo, who kept everyone at arm's length, slowly grew accustomed to his presence.

Ming Huo thought they would go on living like that forever. He had completely forgotten the agreement they'd signed on their wedding night. But from beginning to end, he was the only one who had become so absorbed that he forgot.

As soon as the year was up, Chen Yourong left without a sound, taking nothing and leaving nothing behind.

The young master, blindsided by what felt like a sudden breakup, stubbornly told his friends that if Chen Yourong was leaving, then fine. He had never wanted the marriage in the first place. Good riddance. Now he could find someone he truly liked.

But in truth, as Ming Huo faced the empty villa alone, he felt just as empty inside.

After another business dinner left him with a stomachache from drinking, Ming Huo came home to find not a single light on for him. He sat dumbly on the sofa without saying a word.

At that moment, he had to admit it: he missed him.

[Volume Nine] Dangerous Roommates

Unconventional Succubus, Avidia × Unconventional Demon Hunter, Fisher

Avidia is a succubus, but not a traditional one. He feeds on desire, and both good desires and bad desires are food to him. So the first thing he did after returning was move from a rural town to a big city.

There are lots of people in big cities, which means plenty of food. He can even snack on demons now and then. He loves it.

But what money does a boy from a small town have? It took him ages to find an affordable place, and he still had to share it with someone else.

On his first day there, Avidia caught the scent of blood and strange gunpowder on his roommate, who looked like the type to shoot someone without blinking if they got on his bad side.

He understood immediately. Uh-oh, his new roommate was a demon hunter.

Fisher is a demon hunter, but not a traditional one. Unlike most demon hunters, who loathe demons and kill every one that enters their sight, he sometimes makes deals with demons.

He has his own standards for judging them, which many people can't understand. Over time, those people began calling him the "Unorthodox Hunter."

The Unorthodox Hunter often swings between poverty and sudden riches. After passing a breakfast stand once more without even five dollars in his pocket, Fisher decided, after much soul-searching, to find a roommate to split the rent.

On the first day he met his new roommate, Fisher frowned deeply.

The reason was simple: his new roommate was far too beautiful. He had a lively, radiant beauty that left even Fisher staring for quite a while. In this desire-soaked metropolis, such an innocent-looking new roommate was bound to attract all kinds of dark, dangerous attention.

So Fisher, of his own accord and initiative, decided to keep a closer eye on his beautiful new roommate and protect him.

[Volume Ten] It Seems There's Someone Else Inside My Body

Immortal Jellyfish, Feng Ling × Unlucky Rich Kid, Le Xunan

After making it back from a shipwreck by sheer luck, Le Xunan discovers that there seems to be someone else inside his body. This person helps him deal with all kinds of difficult problems: beating up scumbags, attending morning meetings, doing business, and killing supernatural creatures that want to chew a few chunks off him.

Le Xunan has always been easygoing, and he quickly accepts the terrifying fact that there's another person inside him. He even adjusts to it quite well, and starts making little requests of the person living in his body.

For example, he doesn't want noodles for breakfast tomorrow. Could he have a veal steak sandwich with soy milk instead?

The next morning, he gets a veal steak sandwich with soy milk, along with a fruit and vegetable salad to cut through the richness.

Life is just wonderful, Le Xunan thinks happily. He could live like this forever!

But one day, a government-affiliated supernatural organization comes looking for him and tells him: There is an exceptionally dangerous entity inside you, possibly an evil god.

Feng Ling, who just left while the kid was asleep to hunt and grab a bite to eat: ...

An evil god? Who? Me? Seriously?

[Volume Eleven] Sacrificed as a Bride to the Mountain God

[Volume Twelve] My Kitty Guardian Deity

To be added

Important:

1. The nonhuman tops have all suffered some brain damage due to their severe injuries. Specifically, they have late-stage lovesickness for their partners and have become emotionless wife-calling machines.

2. Because the tops are too dangerous, normal and safe worlds won't accept them, so the worlds they land in all have problems to some degree.

Note: The order may change.
