[Story One]
Tang Li is an outstanding psychiatrist at Huairen Psychiatric Hospital.
She is gentle, radiant, intelligent, and well-read. Everything about her is a delight.
But one day, she suddenly resigned and vanished without a trace for months.
When she reappeared, everyone found that Tang Li was still compassionate, kind, and gentle. Yet every gaze turned toward her carried a barely restrained tremor of fear and madness.
She is not herself.
[Note: This story ends with both leads dying, which counts as a happy ending.]
[Story Two]
On the first anniversary of her relationship with her boyfriend, Lu Change'er discovered that he had been cheating on her.
And that he had been living a debauched life for two years.
By the dark window, Lu Change'er silently watched the man on the roadside who had pursued her for two years and dated her for one. At that moment, he was embracing someone else and kissing them passionately.
A moment later, she turned away. Her pale wrist moved with her, and the scarlet appendage attached to it flashed beneath the moonlight.
Its writhing, sucking mouthparts coiled around her. A human's pale, slender fingers gripped its wet, sticky tip.
Lu Change'er lowered her head, excitement flickering in her eyes.
[Note: Tentacles appear.]
[Story Three]
Gu Shi transmigrated to an ancient feudal society.
This world was backward and ignorant, treating neither women nor people of the lower classes as human beings.
Gu Shi chose to escape her cage, disguise herself as a man, study, and enter government service.
Later, she braved every obstacle, donned red robes, entered the court, assisted the empress, and rose to the position of chancellor.
Looking up at the person on the throne, Gu Shi declared loudly, "Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long, long live Your Majesty!"
Li Shu'an is the emperor's only daughter. She has enjoyed a life of luxury and been endlessly doted on since childhood.
She is clever and quick-witted, gifted with the talent to reach for the clouds, yet she still cannot escape the fate of being sacrificed.
Only because she is a woman.
Li Shu'an refuses to accept it. Her ambition blazes like a scarlet flame, burning fiercely without end.
As she gazes at the throne on the high platform, her lust for power and ambition reach their peak.
If mediocre fools can rule, why shouldn't she take the throne?
