The unfortunate Shan Ziwei got into a car accident and woke up to find that 200 years had passed. To make matters worse, he still suffered from erotomania. (Erotomania: an aversion to handshakes and hugs; see Baidu for details.) "Unfortunately, we cannot cure your condition." "W-wait a minute! Even AIDS can be cured now, let alone a mere erotomania!" "*chuckle*." With no other choice, Shan Ziwei had to return to his old profession as a quiet game developer. However, the games nowadays seemed a bit... unusual. [System: Dear player, below are your role settings for this game. Setting 1: You enjoy shaking hands with strangers. Setting 2: You enjoy hugging acquaintances. Setting 3: You’re a bottom. Setting 4: You’re a bottom. Setting 5: Important things must be said twice.] Shan Ziwei: ...Is this game even playable?! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ P.S.: (Indescribable) top x erotomaniac bottom; pseudo-online gaming novel with dungeon-leveling elements. Thanks to Luan Huajiang for the erotomania inspiration.

On the distant planet of Tiansu, there exists a unique intelligent life form with no childhood or old age, no birth, nor true death. They come into the world in an extraordinary manner, preserving the most primal memories of survival through generations of reincarnation. They are the Tiansu people. Every Tiansu individual, upon finding a desired partner, must undergo a life-or-death rite of passage to form a union. The victor of this ritual becomes the absolute dominator in the marital relationship, while the defeated is known as—the Bonded.

In the server named "Sanctuary," a survival game to join the upper echelons officially begins. Alliance, betrayal, intrigues, and human nature's gambit — survival is the only logic. Only the survivors can speak after the smoke clears. The amnesiac An Wujiu witnesses the person beside him getting shot the moment he opens his eyes. In confusion, floating green text appears before him. [Variable name: An Wujiu; Attributes: Male, twenty years old; Game round: 5 … Win rate: 100/100; Danger level: SSS] No wonder they are afraid. ———————— The first time Shen Ti sees An Wujiu, he is intrigued; the kindness and fragility in those eyes aren't fake. How could he survive in the Sanctuary? Until he sees this man's personality shift, his reckless gambles, effortless manipulations, and the excitement on the brink of death, willing to even calculate against himself for victory. Shen Ti then realizes that his understanding was flawed. But it's fine, after all, he's not a normal person either. Master of deception "split" (bottom) vs. melancholy yet strong green tea (top)

Known as the "Empire's Eagle" in the military, omega Lu Zhao got married to Bai Li, a retired alpha with a disabled leg. Overnight, the empire's forums were in an uproar. Countless omegas shed tears for their idol marrying a useless, dissolute playboy, while countless alphas gnashed their teeth in envy at Bai Li for marrying a formidable military star. This marriage was no longer like a flower stuck in cow dung, but rather a flower stuck in concrete—not only lacking beauty but also unable to provide nourishment like cow dung. On the wedding day, Bai Li earned the national title of "Empire's Concrete." At least Bai Li must be the most handsome piece of concrete. Years later, Bai Li, as a family member, attended Lu Zhao's victory banquet. Reporter: "Mr. Bai, what are your thoughts on people saying you're a freeloader?" Bai Li: "Freeloading is really good." Reporter: "Mr. Bai, what are your thoughts on some people criticizing you for allowing your omega partner to work outside and even participate in mecha battles?" Bai Li: "Freeloading is really good." Reporter: "...Mr. Bai, do you have any sense of alpha dignity?" Bai Li: "You people just can't freeload and blame me for freeloading too much." Reporter: "Mr. Lu, what are your thoughts on people saying you're too domineering and not gentle?" Lu Zhao: "I can fight, nothing can be done about it." Reporter: "Mr. Lu, what are your thoughts on recent criticisms that you're too high-profile?" Lu Zhao: "I can fight, nothing can be done about it." Reporter: "Mr. Lu, what are your thoughts on your alpha partner freeloading?" Lu Zhao: "I can fight, nothing can be done about it." Reporter: "This you can fight too??" Lu Zhao: "Yes, he didn't want to freeload, but I forced him to."

This is the story of a runaway bride whose soul is swapped, only to return and find he can't handle his fiancé, then flees again—a tale of fights, bickering, and romance. Also known as *The Runaway Little Imp*, *How to Successfully Run from a Wedding*, *What to Do When Fleeing Fails*, *Husband's Gone Mad, Can I Run?*, or *Go Ahead, Try Escaping Again* (don't trust any of them).

This is roughly a tale of... a bridle and the nine-tailed fox ensnared by it. However, the bridle isn’t too tight. Every reborn protagonist-bottom is inevitably accompanied by villains of varying degrees. Before rebirth, the villains strutted arrogantly while the protagonist-bottom suffered; After rebirth, the protagonist-bottom struts arrogantly while the villains suffer... Shi Huai was born unlucky, and upon transmigrating, he ended up as the top villain’s... younger brother. Well, the already-reborn version of said villain. Barring any surprises, this will be the next new story. [Trigger Warnings] Yes, this time it’s not "points to note" but "trigger warnings." Because I’m planning to go all out and unleash my wildest ideas. Ready? If so, read on~ ① The story starts in a Beastmen hodgepodge world with tons of settings—beasts are divided into males and females... yet the bottom is infertile, and the top is sterile. ② Aside from the main couple doting on each other and no angsty abuse, other plot points aren’t guaranteed—if you dive in, I’ll assume you’re okay with anything. ③ The top isn’t a good guy, though he might occasionally redeem himself. ④ The bottom is pretty strong and has a rather... unique worldview (probably). ⑤ I might indulge in all kinds of wild ideas. ⑥ Aside from glaring plot contradictions, I might not address other issues—what’s set is set, even if it clashes with common sense. If it contradicts your expectations... just hypnotize yourself into accepting it. ⑦ There will be plenty of idiots around—feel free to laugh at them, but don’t take it too seriously...

When the young man realized he had been transported to a futuristic interstellar world, he was a little… stunned. Well, picture a caveman time-traveling to modern society. Now, he’s that caveman. Luckily, he manages to cling to an incredibly powerful golden thigh—a cold, handsome interstellar major who’s got porcelain skin, striking looks, and long legs, ready to sweep him off his feet. But what happens when said thigh wants to dump him on a remote planet to laze around as a useless playboy, all while fulfilling the family duty of "continuing the bloodline" (aka becoming a breeding stud)? *"N-no thanks... I like men."* The undoubtedly straight teen digs himself into a hole… then spends the rest of his life trying to claw his way out. Yep, this is basically a schlocky, trope-filled interstellar romance disguised as sci-fi, featuring a domineering marshal (who starts as a major and gets promoted along the way) falling for our clueless protagonist.

Ren Xiu, a ginseng spirit, leaped into a rift in time to escape his pursuers and avoid capture, only to unexpectedly travel to the future. While unconscious, he is mistaken as a replacement by a runaway bride. Waking up, he finds himself with a husband... and Ren Xiu couldn’t be more pleased. For the first time in his life, he’s encountered such a delicious source of nourishment! He can’t help but want to sink his roots in! And so, the severely injured and bedridden Marshal gains an affectionate little "wife" who can’t keep his hands to himself—and drools over him.

Xie Xu's roles always meet unfortunate ends. In a sci-fi setting, he's the jealous, scheming older brother who drugs and frames the protagonist, only to be expelled and punished by the male lead. In an entertainment industry arc, he's a haughty superstar who relies on his beauty—until a sudden accident leaves him disfigured. Even as an arrogant young sect master in a cultivation world, he eventually stumbles, betrayed and abandoned by all. Xie Xu closes the script and enters the mission worlds, diligently playing his cannon-fodder roles. But at every critical moment, he passively triggers the achievement "*Fury Overload*," skyrocketing his combat (beauty) stats and forcing a counterattack. · No one can humiliate or harm you. You are the treasure of the abyss.

Three years ago, a piece of tragic news arrived from the distant stars. Crown Prince Lian perished heroically on the frontier, his body unable to return home. The empire lost its radiant, god-like heir, as well as one of the strongest New Crystal humans of the century. It was said the prince left behind a pitiable widow. …At the funeral, the young widow, with his black hair and pale skin, stood silently by the coffin, head bowed, his fragile demeanor exuding the delicate aura of a Fractured Crystal human. The imperial family and high-ranking officials frowned in displeasure—so this was the unremarkable creature their prince had once adored to the point of obsession. Jiang Jianming spent three years as an unremarkable slacker at the Imperial Military Academy. Upon graduation, he calmly packed his bags and stepped straight into the brutal battlefields of the distant stars to retrieve the body of his prince. Everyone knew Fractured humans were physically weak, utterly devoid of combat capability. Many mocked or pitied him, waiting to wrap this overambitious youth in a shroud. Until the day the pale young man, drenched in blood, trod across scorched earth, his raised hand sending gunshots piercing through the night. The reflection of the galaxy shimmered in his clear eyes, his mech’s blade bathed in crystalline dust and starlight. Behind him, countless elite New Crystal humans bowed in sincere respect, addressing him in unison as "Commander." Alien beasts trembled at his name in terror. Prosperous autonomous star systems welcomed him as an honored guest. Ruthless space pirates regarded him with both hatred and fascination… Jiang Jianming merely smiled faintly. "Don’t exaggerate. I’m just a frail, sickly Fractured human, after all." The empire: "?" And when the emperor returned from the abyss to the land of the living, faced with the tales of how his beloved had overturned the distant stars in his name... The emperor glared coldly. "Nonsense. The Commander is just a frail, sickly Fractured human... So, who dared let him onto a mech today?" The empire: "???" —*—*— **CP**: Iron-willed, tender-hearted prince/emperor (top) × calm, intelligent cadet/commander (bottom) ★ Mutual devotion, strong leads, happy ending (HE). ★ Brainstorm-heavy space fantasy with original lore; long-form planned. ★ Friendly discussions welcome—happy reading QvQ —*—*—

This is a very conventional, clichéd, and uninspired ABO romance. Please do not take the protagonist’s rants and jokes about ABO too seriously. After reading hundreds of romance novels, Lin Jing went on a furious rant under *Bai Tang Wo Gua*’s serialized work: ["The cliché is always the 'top' pulling the 'bottom' forward—author, are you writing with AI?"] ["The 'top' is always described as having 'chiseled features,' 'broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs,' and 'deep, soulful eyes'—times change, but the author’s taste is still stuck in the Jurassic era!"] ["‘Nuclear-level beauty’? That’s hilarious. Can a man’s good looks stop world wars?"] He even posted multiple thousand-word critical essays—nearly smashing his phone in the process. …And then he transmigrated. He became the protagonist of *Bai Tang Wo Gua*’s dropped ABO novel, complete with a useless "book-transmigration" system that’s only good at spewing nonsense. But the world he transmigrated into turned out to be a far cry from what was advertised—more like a scam. Lin Jing: ["Where’s the badass alpha I was promised? The marshal? The genius? The emperor? Or the undefeated *gong*, Gu Mo Rong?"] Trash System: ["They’re all waiting for you on the capital planet… to be graced by your presence."] Lin Jing: ["Where’s the scene where the alphas stride in with their two-meter-long legs, lined up like the F4?"] Trash System: ["Maybe you critiqued that part, so the author deleted it?"] Lin Jing: ["...And where’s the omega who’s stunning, domineering, and powerful, just waiting to be put in their place by a top-tier alpha?"] Trash System: ["It’s you. It’s you. It’s all you…"] Lin Jing: ["Open your titanium alloy dog eyes—do I *look* like that??"] Instead, he transmigrated to a desolate planet with no human civilization—only swarms of insectoid aliens. But he gladly accepted this post-apocalyptic wasteland where there was no 996, no brainwashing meetings on off-days, and no alphas forcing romance on him. Until— *BOOM!* A thunderous crash from the sky, and down came an alpha—no, wait. Down came a love rival. Lin Jing: ["We’re both omegas—why fight? Let’s hold hands and be good brothers instead! You’ll be the world-conquering, alpha-defying omega legend, and I’ll cheer you on from the sidelines with ice cream and yogurt!"] ...Except something’s off about this "rival"? He keeps worrying about Lin Jing’s delayed presentation, casually bombarding him with pheromones—and hey, why does he seem like he wants to *mark* him??

Once transported to a beastman world, seasoned preschool teacher Chu Youran resumes his old profession as a noble kindergarten teacher. Faced with a bunch of mischievously cute, fluffy toddlers, Chu Youran is utterly overwhelmed. Yet, what truly shatters him is the king who keeps flirting with him while holding his nephew in his mouth. Alternate titles: *The Royal Family’s "One-Night Stand" Scandal*, *The Imperial Tutor’s Romantic Daily Life*, *There’s Always a King Who Wants Me to Bear His Children*, *A Preschool Teacher Who Can’t Help the Three-Year-Old Prince Rebel Is Not a Good Queen*.

After all, it’s still an infinite-flow story, so it might be a little scary. [Daily updates every night; if there isn’t one, I’ll take a day off] --- Synopsis: 1. Yin Liuyun, a popular young heartthrob, was invited to join a variety show. In the show, the guests enter a device that sends them through time and space, back to the era of their parents, where the livestream follows them as they spend time with their young parents. Raised by his gentle and refined dad, Yin Liuyun had never once seen his mother. Whenever he asked about her, his dad would always brush him off. This variety show just happened to give him a chance to learn about his parents’ past, so without a second thought, he agreed. But after the time reversal actually began, he belatedly realized that something was off. Wait, hold on. Setting aside why things were so poor几十 years ago, why are the corpses moving?! Is this TMD scientific? 2. It was also a livestream variety show, but while other kids had warm meals with their young parents, went to school together, or cried their hearts out in each other’s arms, there really wasn’t anyone else like Yin Liuyun, who was being chased and gnawed on by monsters. For everyone else, it was a heartwarming parent-child program. For Yin Liuyun, it turned into a massive survival horror show. Yin Liuyun: ... He was stubborn too. The whole internet urged him to come back, but he insisted on finding his mom. And he never imagined that his mother would actually be a man, and a damn impressive one at that. Yin Liuyun: ? So how did I even get here? That day, #Yin Liuyun picked up from a trash heap# shot to the top of the trending list. Yin Liuyun: ...Are you people polite? 3. Yin Liuyun had always thought his dad was honest and quiet, gentle and refined, and the audience thought so too, until they saw with their own eyes his dad kick apart the corpse chasing and gnawing on Yin Liuyun. Audience: Your dad’s always been this fierce? Yin Liuyun: ... Is that my dad? Not sure. Let me take another look. 4. A newcomer far too kind had entered the horror game. Many people had been saved by him, and no one had expected that this newcomer would eventually become the guild leader with the most supporters. At first, Xiao Guannan dismissed it with a smile: Kid, what level of skill do you have, daring to come boss me around? Later, after learning Yin Liuyun’s true identity, Xiao Guannan: ...You’re saying whose son you are? There were plenty of people who were scared of him to the point of begging for mercy, but Yin Liuyun was the first one who got so scared he started talking nonsense and randomly calling people dad. Xiao Guannan thought this was already the most undignified moment of his life, but he never expected the real embarrassment to come later. He even suspected he had heard wrong: Kid, you’re saying whose mother she is? You can dare to claim a mom, but I don’t dare claim a wife! Parents’ love line: beautiful, powerful top x cool, strong bottom Main couple line: older seme In the parents’ love line, Xiao Guannan is the top; this novel is mainly from the bottom’s perspective Warnings: The setting is entirely fictional!! All entertainment industry, boy group, company, and similar settings in the real-world line are fictionalized, and there will definitely be discrepancies from reality. Please don’t overthink it. This novel definitely has its shortcomings, and there are some deliberately designed scenes for the sake of the plot or comedy. If you feel uncomfortable, you can exit in time.

Do not project it onto reality. Some dangerous actions should not be imitated; please do not imitate them!! ---------- Take a look at the future collection too~ My Boyfriend Is Non-Human 1. Gu Yuan, the top-ranked fighter of the Anomaly Handling Bureau and Captain Gu, has recently fallen hopelessly in love. At first, when the bureau wanted to hire an expert in contamination and ability studies as a consultant, he dismissed it with a scoff, saying that theory could possibly help with real combat? But the moment he saw the person, he no longer thought that way. The new consultant was soft and sweet-smelling, and spoke in a soft voice. Especially those big eyes, like a fawn’s; when they looked at someone, they were especially heart-stirring. Captain Gu, the great ice mountain, fell in love for the first time and awkwardly chased after him. Somehow, he actually did manage to win him over. After they started dating, everything was wonderful except that his boyfriend was too shy, and their intimate behavior never went beyond holding hands. Only, for some reason, every morning when he woke up, there would always be dark red marks around his waist. 2. The bureau’s affairs were complicated, and it was inevitable that he would know a few people from the gray areas. Gu Yuan dealt with them with utmost caution, and these people, upon seeing him, all became extremely strange in their attitudes. After learning about his little boyfriend, they all lost control even more, wishing they could skin him alive and swallow him whole. Gu Yuan only thought those people were inexplicable. Until one case, by a twist of fate, he learned everything. It turned out that this world was a novel, and he was a cannon-fodder top who would be tormented miserably by the various male leads. While carrying out an undercover mission, he was exposed, and his ending was tragic. After that, he lost that segment of memory and remembered nothing. Captain Gu specifically took a look. In the book, although he was eventually fed to the fish, he had completed the mission perfectly. He just hadn’t taken this matter seriously and, with so many things to handle, went off to work instead?? 3. After a pile of affairs was finally dealt with, Captain Gu remembered that he seemed to have neglected his own boyfriend for a long time. He specially bought a gift to coax him, but the moment he opened the door, he was greeted by a creature that was almost impossible to recognize as human, with only a pair of eyes that looked far too familiar. His always gentle boyfriend looked gloomy and pained, so anxious that he had bitten himself bloody. “Why did you have to remember...” “Since you already abandoned me, why are you coming back now...” “Please, don’t hate me, don’t leave me again...” “Forget all of this...” At the end of his memories was the sight of his contaminated boyfriend activating his ability. All memories related to the man faded away with it. 4. A new theoretical consultant joined the bureau, and Captain Gu dismissed it with contempt, until he saw the person. Looking at the consultant who introduced himself with a warm smile, Gu Yuan’s memories surged back like a tide, and he fell into silence. ...So this guy, no, this thing, manually restarted the whole game? “Hello, I’m the new consultant,” the other party said with a smile. His gentle and approachable manner was exactly the same as when they first met last time. Note: 1. The romance line is 1v1. 2. Main POV is shou. 3. It’s a tentacle top. 4. The top didn’t bully the bottom; in the novel, he was that “fish” after all, though he’s an octopus ()

An accident caused the popular Novel Transmigration Department at the Management Bureau to collapse. The Main God vanished, worldlines deviated completely, and bugs poured out uncontrollably. Overwhelmed, the Management Bureau dispatched Jing Xi to the world with the most bugs. Upon hearing the news, the systems panicked, none daring to take on this risky partner. The decision was left to a draw. Jing Xi: "How many bugs in this world?" The unlucky system: "1,048." Jing Xi: "Hm?" The system cautiously repeated: "O-one... 1,048." Jing Xi: "It hasn’t collapsed yet—must be because space is vast in the interstellar realm?" The system: "No." Jing Xi: "Then?" The system, even more cautious: "Other worlds are based on a single book. Ours is... a series." Jing Xi: "..." The system: "Six storylines need fixing. You have three bodies at your disposal—one of them has a terminal illness." Jing Xi: "So that’s two and a half." The system: "...Yeah." Jing Xi thought to himself, *You guys sure know how to play.* The system: "Since it’s a series under the same setting, characters from one storyline may reappear later. Please be cautious." (*Don’t mess around.*) Jing Xi: "Got it." Feeling somewhat reassured, the system eagerly followed him on the mission—only to watch him provoke a major boss right from the start.

[Synopsis] The mage Sipleins discovers he’s just a stand-in lover—his boyfriend’s true love is someone else. So, he breaks up decisively, ready to spend the rest of his life devoted to knowledge. But then, an unexpected twist— "Thanks to the scumbag, I’m now dating your white moonlight." Two mages with identical worldviews, similar hobbies, and aligned academic opinions—practically mirror images of each other, both dubbed "time travelers from a legendary era" and "electronic device nemeses" by their apprentices—find their unlikely pairing perfectly logical. Note: The author just wants to write a sweet, fluffy, slice-of-life story with no tight plotting—mwah! The CP is mutual pining with the white moonlight, and who tops/bottoms depends on their mood that day. That scumbag ex got relentlessly bombarded with PDA and is now suffering internally. Goliath & Xuefeng’s story: "A Dragon Knight’s Daily Training Log" The apprentice’s story: "The Greatest Mage in the Galaxy" Reading Guide: 1. The magical continent has entered a modern (even futuristic) tech era, so don’t be shocked seeing mages use phones—though our protagonist can’t even handle a basic flip phone... 2. The scumbag ex has zero chance of reconciliation, no worries. 3. Thanks to all classic Western fantasy works for intellectual inspiration—elements used are well-known tropes, but the specific worldbuilding and magic systems are entirely made-up, especially regarding magical tech. Please don’t scrutinize it with logic because it’s wildly unscientific (serious). 4. If you’ve read other works in this series, this shares the same universe but is set nearly 6,000 years after "Hymn," so familiar characters might appear only in obscure Easter eggs. 5. The author loves angst and fluff equally.

He was reborn—that wasn’t scary. Ending up in a world swarming with mutated bugs wasn’t scary either. The real problem was… he was reborn as a panda and got a "Selling Cuteness" system. The panda’s soul was devastated. Heaven help him—he was a combat powerhouse, yet his only way to level up was by acting cute! People across the world were thrilled! The marshal’s battle companion was a fearsome, invincible powerhouse, swatting mutant bugs—the stuff of nightmares for even the strongest ability users—with just one paw! And more importantly… it was just too darn adorable. Meanwhile, the legendary panda slowly clung to the marshal’s leg, holding up a nearly invisible scratch on its paw, whimpering pitifully, "It hurts… I’m injured." *Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully selling cuteness—3 points earned!* The marshal remained expressionless. A cat that could annihilate a whole swarm of bugs with one punch… and all it knew how to do was act cute? Then the panda lifted its head with pleading eyes and asked, "So… what flavor’s the bamboo today?"

Even many years later, Lin Xi would still have dreams. In those dreams, he remained just an ordinary person—his companions had not died, nor had they turned into terrifying monsters. The Sun God had not suffered a positioning error, nor had its jump failed. They had never lost their coordinates in space, nor had they crash-landed on that enigmatic planet. Yet, whenever he opened his eyes and met the gaze of those enormous creatures surrounding him— those crimson compound eyes, those terrifying wing covers and segmented limbs… along with the thick pheromones lingering in the air— Lin Xi would jolt awake. His dreams would always remain just dreams. And his reality, would forever remain as cruel as ever. He was no longer human— He was their progenitor, the Queen of the Swarm, the Mother of the Xenomorphs. …… …… At the same time, he was also Its one and eternal beloved. * “You should know, you can never become that person. You’re just…” “I’m just a bug wearing his skin—darling, I know what you’re going to say. But so what? Aside from me, you have no other choices in this star system.” Sharvel smiled, rubbing his wing covers together as he tilted his head at Lin Xi. “Of course, you could always choose to birth a new king… *hiss*… but even then, wouldn’t you still need to be with me?” === *A Robinson Crusoe story on an alien planet.* *Non-human entities.* *Beware of the Swarm.* *The "top" is definitely not human—don’t even think about it.* *This one will likely be another [self-indulgent] ride.*
