Sifang Town has been bustling with liveliness recently. The town’s best-looking Young Master Wen has been missing for half the month and suddenly returns with a man.

The wild man, called Chu XiangTian, is the head of the bandits in the West Mountain. Rumors said that he was a devil who killed people without blinking.

Everyone sighs incessantly. Young Master Wen is truly pitiful…

Young Master Wen, whom the people said were pitiful, stares fiercely with wide and round eyes. “You sleep in the study room at night!!”

The tall and burly man immediately has a black face.

Wen Tian, with pouting lips, says, “You are being fierce….. QAQ”

A typical summer for a twenty-three-year-old.

Joo Hwion comes face-to-face with his younger brother, who wore a smile on his face despite the mu*dered corpses of their parents lying at his feet.

No, what he came face-to-face with wasn’t his brother, but an evil spirit.

The knife that killed his parents was now aimed at Hwion, and he strikes a deal with the messenger to return from the boundary of the afterlife.

「All you need to do is exhale a breath into the hand of a living agwi*.」

But what exactly is a “living agwi,” and how is he supposed to find his enemy, the “evil spirit”?

After numerous trials and errors, Hwion ends up hosting a broadcast that focuses on exploring haunted houses.

And four years later, during the summer of his 27th year.

He suddenly encounters a stunning and gorgeous man…

“I was wondering what it was… Turns out it was a piece of tr*sh.”

“…What?”

Of all people, the “living agwi” he had been so desperately searching for turned out to be an arrogant human with a personality problem.

“Ha, someday I’ll make you kneel and beg for forgiveness for what you’ve done.”

“Give it your best try.”

Two individuals who harbor mutual disdain but find themselves entwined by their respective motives.

Will they ever be able to overcome their misunderstandings and achieve their goals?

I am just an ordinary herb-gathering girl at the foot of the mountain. When the female protagonist of the cultivation story runs away in a fit of anger, she casually sets my home on fire.... more>>

When I return from gathering herbs, all that's left is the charred ground; my family has been reduced to ash.

Yet she cried pitifully and throws herself into the arms of her lofty, ethereal immortal lord.

He looked down with a cold expression: "The death of such lowly mortals is trivial; Fu Ling, do not let this disturb your Dao heart."

I endured in silence, biding my time like a dog who has lost its home.

Later, I astounded the land of Nine Provinces with a single sword strike, and with a cold laugh, I reduced them all to ashes:

"How does it feel to die by the hands of a lowly mortal?" <<less

We spent three years together in Ohio, living a simple yet respectful life. During his downhearted days, we took care of each other, supporting one another. Most of the time, it was me, a poor college student, looking after him and his children.... more>>

I've listened to him recount countless times the incidents where the Cheng family betrayed his kindness and integrity for personal gain... I also know all about how that wicked woman from the Cheng family toyed with his emotions but chose another partner for marriage.

He finally made it.

Ohio couldn't hold him down. With a fresh influx of financing, he wiped away his past disgrace and resolved to take the children back to our home country. The night before returning, his dark eyes were particularly deep and affectionate. He swore, "I will organize a top-notch, luxurious wedding for you."

My face was all smiles of contentment and reliance on him.

However, a dreadful dream surfaced in my mind. This man, who professed deep love and affection for me, would return to our home country and marry the vain Miss Cheng, whom he despised so much, in less than half a month.

Their story followed the clichéd script of reuniting after a breakup, falling in love after marriage, and the children playing matchmaker.

As for me, the insignificant supporting lady, I was just like Wang Baochuan1, accompanying him around low-end wholesale markets in the United States, buying heaps of cheap goods to save him money, a fool who hesitated to spend each dollar, converting it into Chinese yuan instead.

I could tolerate him choosing any woman for her wealth, but I never imagined he would stoop so low as to seek Cheng Shuangyi's favor again.

How could Shen Qi do this?

He's betraying not just me but also his impoverished, dirty past and the last shreds of conscience in a man.

That night, after packing his few belongings and discarding the rest marked by his presence, I left him with only one sentence, "Get lost, the farther the better."

　[Small Theater]

After Shen Qi returned to the country, it was a time of revelry every night, a life of luxury and extravagance. Those who once looked down on him, who discarded him like worn-out shoes, suddenly reentered his world, seeking his forgiveness.

He thought he was the winner.

Yet, his heart felt hollow, and the image of that foolish woman often haunted his thoughts.

He never believed he truly loved her, considering it merely a complete exploitation. Yet, he couldn't see genuine sincerity in anyone else but her.

Finally, when he heard news of her return, he went mad, ordering his two children to dress neatly and accompany him to the airport to welcome the woman who filled his eyes—

Yet, she walked past him indifferently.

As if their three years together had never existed.

1: Wang Baochuan is a character from Chinese folklore and drama. She is known for her loyalty and devotion to her husband, General Xue Pinggui, in the story "The Legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" (also known as "The Butterfly Lovers"). In some adaptations, Wang Baochuan's loyalty to her husband is exemplified by her waiting faithfully for him despite the passage of time and various challenges they face. The FL describes herself as similar to Wang Baochuan, suggesting that, like Wang Baochuan, she feels overlooked and undervalued in her relationship with her partner. The comparison serves to illustrate her feelings of insignificance and the imbalance in their relationship dynamic. <<less

Popular idol Mu Xingyu suddenly left the drama crew and terminated his contract with the management company.

Mu Xingyu wasn’t happy with this perception and posted on Weibo, “This is my husband. He has a gentle personality and good health!”

However, wait, why are there so many sick people in the palace?

As a physician and a pharmacist, I can't simply ignore the sick, so I decided to help a little.

Yes, I was certainly planning to help just a little.

"I dedicate this very body to protecting you, my Vizier!"

"I shall name you Princess Consort, the Light of the Empire."

Eventually, Julion found me.

His golden eyes shimmered like a candle in the breeze as he looked down at me.

"Did you mean to sacrifice everything, to live for others, and then... hide away where no one knows and face death alone?"

Clear drops of water welled up in Julion's eyes.

Too stunned to say anything, he whispered through his tears.

"Please stay alive, Rohiriel."

So, how many times do I have to tell you that I'm cured before you believe me......? <<less

One second before signing the substitute contract.

It turns out he was a substitute cannon fodder in a book.

In the story, he served as Lu Muchi's substitute for Bai Yueguang for three years.

He was slapped by Lu Muchi's little lover he held in his arms, sent by Lu Muchi to seduce a competitor and almost forced, and had his neck choked by Lu Muchi almost to death.

He l**ked and groveled willingly, enjoying it, and fell deeply in love with Lu Muchi.

In the end, he voluntarily donated his eyes to exchange for Lu Muchi's Bai Yueguang—his twin brother's brightness.

He and his twin brother were abandoned and sent to an orphanage since childhood. He gave up the opportunity to be adopted by a wealthy family for his brother, who became a pampered young master.

He was adopted by a childless couple, and after a year of relatively peaceful life, his foster parents miraculously had a son, plunging his life into hell.
