The Bewitching Beauty

In the new century, supernatural abilities are emerging everywhere, and geniuses abound!

And you are the king of an alien race, searching desperately for your missing people.

You searched the whole world and found only your younger brother.

He used to be a fluffy little ball of snow, unable even to take human form. He always followed right behind you. If he got stepped on, he'd let out tiny, plaintive chirps and tear up in protest.

Three hundred years later, you saw him again in a game exhibit hall in the Core District.

His tendons had been cut and his skin flayed. His sharp fangs had been removed, and his snow-white skeleton laid bare.

The bones of this exquisite, delicate rare beast gleamed with a cold, pale sheen, so beautiful they left you speechless.

The hall was crowded and noisy. You stood before the glass display case, head tilted back, quietly gazing for a long time at this perfect work of art.

Three months later.

Second Young Master Jin brought home a canary from outside.

The young man was dazzlingly beautiful, with gentle features and a soft manner. He spoke kindly to everyone and had an unexpectedly sweet temper.

The geniuses scoffed with contempt.

Low rank, weak and easy to bully, nothing but a useless pretty face. Looking at him for another second would be a waste.

Lin Shu smiled and agreed. That's right. When it comes to cultivation, strength is what matters most.

Later...

He sat high among the clouds, resting his chin on one hand, his expression listless.

Below the stands, people barked like dogs, fighting until they were bloody over the chance to compete.

Some turned against their own brothers and drew their swords just to make him smile.

Some ruined their futures and willingly fell into the abyss to win his favor.

Some wagged their tails and begged, casting aside all dignity for the chance to get closer to him.

Even more former geniuses scrambled to gather at his feet.

"Don't be afraid. It's not your fault!"

Lin Shu held a warm teacup, his fingertips unconsciously rubbing the rim. "Really?"

An even more frenzied response erupted from below.

"Don't blame yourself!"

"Those bastards forced you to do it!"

"I'll do anything for you!"

Lin Shu lowered his eyes, concealing the cold scheming in their depths and a trace of almost pitying mockery.

His damp, tender gaze drifted lazily over the faces filled with pain, obsession, and longing.

I want this place to be...

never at peace, drowned in a raging flood.

Who should be the next sacrifice, a genius with a dazzling Dao heart?

Airhead x Grump

Qin Jianzhen is a villainous antagonist in a novel.

In public, he's aloof and unassuming, as elegant as a chrysanthemum.

In private, he's poor and stingy, vain, and petty.

Then one day, the author decides to give him a promotion.

Jianzhen...

You're going to be the protagonist of the next story!

Qin Jianzhen puffs out his proud chest and strides forth with a swagger, like a million-strong army crossing the river, happily rushing off to a new world that revolves around him.

As soon as he's sent into it,

he opens his eyes to find a lawyer standing before him, looking grief-stricken.

Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, but your husband passed away yesterday.

Qin Jianzhen: ?

Wait, what passed away?

The lawyer says, Please sign here to inherit his 20 billion in assets.

Qin Jianzhen: ??

The lawyer says, You'll also inherit the child left behind by your husband's previous wife. Don't worry, he's two years younger than you and is about to come of age.

Qin Jianzhen: ???
