This is a dangerous omen. I would gladly accompany you on your journey, guide you to awaken the bodhi mind, and lead you through the gates of merit." Chi Wang: "...Speak plainly." Monk: "It's been seven hundred years. If I don't make a move now, someone else will steal you away." This eminent monk has profound Buddhist wisdom and is unlike any other.

His death is gruesome. Very, very gruesome.

   Let's get a sneak peek at what graduate student life is like. Looking at it now, it really makes me realize how clear-headed the author is. Help! Ning Mingmei's ideals and original aspirations are also mine.

4. 4 炮 The Cannon Fodder 炮灰＂攻＂系统 Thirteen-Eyed Black Cat十三眼黑猫Danmei (BL)1.4M WordsCompleted Your quest is to become the ultimate king of cannon-fodder bottoms (huge misunderstanding). Song Guan: What the hell is this?! P.S. The protagonist is the bottom. He's an idiot and a total scumbag to the max. And this story has a happy ending. Really. Also: The couple aren't related by blood. This story is complete! I expect the printed edition to come out around April next year. I'll post the details on Weibo. @Kong Lan Kong Lan drew the first illustration for me, the Flawless Mountain Villa 56.4kFavorites157.8kClicks/ch43.8kGifts

   Curator note

   While each world might have an abrupt ending for a typical story, it felt perfectly fitting for life. And as someone who completely dislikes bad endings, I could totally accept each story here and even look forward to the next. Everyone says the author's writing gets better as it progresses, but I actually feel the beginning was better than the end. Especially the ending, which felt too rushed. However, as the first bad ending I finished reading (even if only the process), I still gave it four stars.

5. 5 别 Others Sail the Seas, I Farm 别人航海，我种田 The Wind's Chime风的铃铛Romance906k WordsCompleted [Warning: Don't Starve + One Piece. Not faithful to canon, with lots of game-related headcanons. The protagonist is a player, and this is a Fourth Disaster story. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy it.] [A separate Whole Cake Island what-if story is now available] I’m Wendy, a Don’t Starve player, and I’ve arrived in this new world with the Don’t Starve game System. To make sure I stay alive, I’ve been working hard to clear land and grow crops. But I’m not very efficient on my own, 86.2kFavorites90.7kClicks/ch1.1MGifts

   It was great, I finished it in one go. But as expected, I'm still a pure romance fan. The ending felt a bit rushed. It was the first Don't Starve story I finished, and I went to play Don't Starve right after reading it.

6. 6 妾 A Concubine's Escape 妾奔 Red Bean Soup绿豆红汤Romance334k WordsCompleted This novel will go behind a paywall on the 29th. Thank you to all my old and new friends for your support. Dan Sui is a wealthy merchant's concubine. She does the work of a concubine, but is given the title of maid. The merchant is frail and won't live more than a couple of years. When he dies, she'll either be toyed with by his wastrel son or dismissed and sold off. With her looks and no one to protect her, she'll inevitably end up in a life of prostitution, a plaything to be abused. So while t 16.1kFavorites16.3kClicks/ch17.2kGifts

On his first day, the transfer student rummaged through every trash can at school, then gave the school bully a rose.

8. 8 皇 The Emperor’s Younger Brother 皇弟 Ze Mu则慕Romance504k WordsCompleted Rong Changxi had a younger imperial brother, and from childhood onward, he was the person she hated most, bar none. Until one day, this adopted little brother became emperor. And so Rong Changxi was duly sentenced to death. The male and female leads sincerely want to kill each other. There's only hatred, no love... P.S. They aren't actually siblings! P.P.S. The heroine is especially unlikeable at first, so read with caution~ Theme: 21.1kFavorites16.2kClicks/ch10.2kGifts

   The female lead is interesting; I haven't seen anything like this in a long time. And you can clearly feel that the author's writing is getting better and better. I truly love GK.

9. 9 修 A Second-Generation Cultivator’s Everyday Notes 修二代的日常随笔 The Drifting Mayfly浮游的蜉蝣No CP8.2M WordsCompleted As the title says, this is the uneventful daily life of a second-generation cultivator. A laid-back cultivation story focused on everyday life. The important part is the list of warnings. There are quite a few, so stay alert to avoid triggering any. If you do hit a nerve, click the little red X and get out at once. Here are the details: 1. First-person narration. The associated issue is that everything is seen from the protagonist’s perspective, so his understanding of the world may be one-side 95.9kFavorites278.3kClicks/ch500.9kGifts

   Curator note

   Because this is an old story published in 2016 (even though it was only recently completed), some of its ideas are inevitably outdated. Watching it calms my mind; the protagonist's mindset is the kind of cultivation mindset I admire, and the first-person perspective further inspires a sense of the Dao within me.

10. 10 重 Starting Over Is No Use (Double Rebirth) 重来也无用（双重生） Glasses Temples眼镜腿儿Romance226k WordsCompleted [Complete] Song Deng died of a cold. Before she died, she couldn’t bear to leave her older brother, nor Yuan Meng, alone and isolated on the throne. He loved someone else, so she stayed nearby and kept him company in silence. He couldn’t have what he wanted, and she too began to feel a subtle sense of resentment. People often lamented that she had come too late, until even she believed she’d simply missed her chance. But she soon learned that some things remain futile, even when given another 46.6kFavorites65kClicks/ch12.7kGifts

    Sigh, the author's writing style still needs improvement; it's rather immature. But I really love every unrequited love story the author writes, especially the premise of this one. I've actually fantasized about how I would interact with the person I have a crush on if I were reborn, hoping to make them like me back. But every time I think about it for a long time, I realize that they just don't seem to like me, because I would still act according to my own personality, and they wouldn't be interested in someone like me at all.

11. 11 本 Today, This Bystander Passed by the Male Lead’s Set Again 本路人今天也在路过男主片场 Su Xingchuan宿星川Danmei (BL)1.2M WordsCompleted In China, there's a notorious five-member boy band, ABCDE. Aside from E, the utterly forgettable protagonist of this story, all the others have the makings of male leads from a Jinjiang novel. A was reborn. He was switched at birth as a child, and in his previous life, a CEO treated him as a stand-in. His story is full of melodramatic danmei tropes.

    It's interesting before becoming emperor, but weakens later. But it's worth the free four-star rating.

    I like the sect atmosphere and the character settings are quite interesting.
