"Who dares to marry my woman!"he declared wildly as he took her away from her wedding with another man. She firmly resisted. He was a business emperor who mysteriously disappeared for four years. Upon returning to the country, he immediately disrupted her wedding and secretly cut off all her suitors. He even cornered her at the marriage registration office, preventing her from registering a marriage with someone else. “Rumor has it you bore my son!” “Slander! This is someone else's child!” That evening, her little boy gave her a big surprise, “Mommy, I lured a handsome daddy into your bed!”

The new book, "The Arrogant and Cute Princess: Your Highness is so Cunning" has been published -- back then, she was innocent and naive, doing everything she could, hoping that he would notice her. Later on, in her anger and embarrassment, she snapped: "Chen Yiran, take your hands off me. Do you think I’m still that ignorant young girl?" With a devilish smile, he leaned in to seal her lips with his and whispered: "Hmm... you've long since become an innocent woman."

Due to the abnormal arrangement of her sixth chromosome, she became a legend in genetic medicine. This is because her vision and hearing are 21 times greater than those of a normal human, while her running, jumping, and arm strength are 33 times stronger, and her regenerative and self-healing abilities are as high as 84 times those of a normal person. However, her father hated her, and people around her disliked her, regarding her as a monster. However, he was the only one who would like to be friends with her. He is the sickly yet most drop-dead gorgeous man in the entire imperial capital. Three steps will make him pant as if he'd just finished a full marathon, and taking five steps was enough to make him cough like a chain-smoker. It is said that one would easily forget the beautiful people of the world upon laying eyes on him. She said, "This pretty boy belongs to me."

Every step toward the truth awakens a darker side of her—a side that knows how to kill without mercy, vanish without a trace, and manipulate the very science that erased her past. But in a game where loyalty is currency and her own mind is the battlefield, how do you trust yourself? "Dust of Her Mind" is a pulse-pounding spy thriller with a psychological edge, blending Namibian heat with cold betrayal, and one woman’s fight to piece herself back together—before the ghosts she forgot come back to finish the job.

"Young Master, the Young Mistress has run away from home!" "Pack up immediately, I'm going with her." "Young Master, the Young Mistress has gone to a matchmaking event!"

The man's slender fingers fed her the peeled shrimp, "Yes, I can't leave you." 【Little Bun】 After being disciplined by dad's family law, little Bun's eyes brimmed with tears, "Mommy, am I still your Baobei? The kind that you can't bear to scold when I make a mistake, the kind you soften and hug me?" (Heartwarming Petting)

Vegeto Vegeta eyes fluttered open, then shut, then opened again. As he woke, he noticed his room had undergone… let’s say a billion tiny changes. No, it wasn’t just his room—the entire world had transformed! In the morning light, the old man by the roadside was no longer practicing slow, graceful tai chi. Instead, he stood radiant and brimming with energy atop a duel platform, bellowing with full vigor, “My turn!” At school, the chatter among his classmates had shifted. Gone were discussions about exams or trends; now it was all about “who pulled a rare card” or “a fresh batch of card packs just arrived at the shop by the gate.” The town itself was now called Domino City, and the most famous company around was none other than Kaiba Corporation. This was unmistakably the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! Even Vegeta himself had inexplicably changed. His name was now Kobayakawa Hayato, and his hair? Oh, it had morphed into a wild, spiky style that practically screamed, “I’m a pro at card games." As he stood there, utterly baffled, a voice echoed in Hayato’s ears— “Beep beep! Your initial card pack has been delivered, Duelist!”

A young witch with rusty red hair From her tattered home to school she'd fare With a plump snake, not too bright in mind As Snape's classmate, her path she'd find Later with Lucius, colleagues they became While idolizing Gryffindor's golden name Keeping press clippings, day after day Until the final battle came her way When facing Voldemort, her wand held high An Avada Kedavra lit up the sky Then others collected her clippings too As her legend among wizards grew With awe and wonder, they watched her shine As she lived more boldly, line by line Yet few knew of her struggles deep within The doubt and pain beneath her skin Like a caged beast she once had been Short-sighted, hesitant, lost in sin Through darkness and pain she fought her way To become the witch we know today ---------------------------------------------- This is a translation.

Tianxu was once the land of the heavens. Now, it’s home to four powerful immortal clans—each fighting for control, each bound by ancient curses, strict bloodlines, and a prophecy they all fear. At the center of this world stands the Tianxu Academy, a place filled with heavenly treasures and hidden secrets. Once every hundred years, the Academy opens its gates. Students from royal families and gifted outsiders are invited to train—and to search for the Tianhun Sword, a legendary weapon whispered to grant the strength of the gods to its bearer. But the sword carries a terrible curse. If a mixed blood wields it, the clans will clash, rivers will run red, mountains will burn, and the thrones of the mighty will crumble. Mo Yuchen is that threat. Born from a forbidden union between rival clans, he has spent his life in exile, hidden from the world. Now, in disguise, he enters the Academy with one mission: find the sword, avenge his parents, and unite the clans under one rule. But as love, fate, and war draw near, Mo Yuchen must face the truth: Will he become the savior the world needs—or the destroyer it was warned about?

a girl who found herself in another world

{Ryō Kurokiba, Age: 15} "Both of them will be alright, you don't have to worry about them. Your father is with your mother inside, so be strong for them." Kaina told Ryō as he was just pacing around in front of the operation theater. Shaking his head he said with a grin plastered on his face "I'm not worried, Kai. I'm excited! I'm going to be a brother!" Smiling at his reply, with a teasing grin Kaina said "Oh... so when we have kids what would be your reaction?" At that question, Ryō almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Then he looked at her, which made her laugh out loud "Hahahahaha! Ah.. hahah.. you ... haha... should.... hahaha... see your... hahah... face." "That's not funny, Kaina." Ryō said. Right then, the door opened and Yato came outside with a baby in his hand. Ryō went straight towards him and looked at the baby as Yato said "It's a baby girl. Her name will be Taiga." Keeping his eyes on his baby sister, Ryō asked "How's mom? Is she alright?" "Yeah, she's alright. Right now she's waiting for us." Yato said. Ryō nodded at him, and Kaina was standing next to Ryō and looking at Taiga. Seeing Taiga opening mouth and breathing, Kaina muttered "Adorable." "She sure is." Saying that, Ryō looked at his father and asked "Can I see mom?" "Sure, come along." Yato strode into the operation theater with Taiga still in his hand. Ryō, taking hold of Kaina's hand followed his father a couple of feets behind and whispered to Kaina "Think of a name for ours when we have one." Kaina's eyes went wide, as she did expect him to strike back, but from the tone of how he said she understood that he was dead serious. Tugging Kaina with him, Ryō arrived at where his mother was. Without making a sound, Ryō neared his mother and softly rubbed her hand. Hiyori, smiled at him and asked "Where is she?" "With dad. Are you alright?" Ryō asked her, as he was concerned for his mother. "I'm alright baby, just a little bit tired." Hiyori said. "Then rest, we are here. Don't worry." Ryō advised his mother to rest for the time being. "I'll rest, after seeing my daughter and son as much as I can. That includes you too, Kaina." Hiyori said, looking at both Ryō and Kaina. Kaina gave a soft smile to Hiyori and took hold of her hand and said "Thank you for saying that." "You are my son's girlfriend, of course you are my daughter." Saying that Hiyori tightened the hold on her hand. As they were talking among themselves, Ryō made a beeline towards his father and little sister. Looking at his father he said, "Can I hold her?" "Sure champ." Saying that, Yato gently placed Taiga in Ryō's hands. Ryō looked at Taiga with full of love, and holding her in one hand he started to play with Taiga's small hand. A couple of seconds after playing with her hand, Taiga wrapped her fingers around Ryō's finger as tight as she could. Feeling the warmth of his little sister, Ryō's face beamed. And that was contagious as both his parents and his girlfriend also smiled seeing him smile like that, and a small sweet smile was adorned on Taiga's face. ---------------------------------------- A week later at the Kurokiba residence, Ryō was watching over Taiga as she was sleeping on the bed. Seeing her breathing evenly as she slept, a small smile adorned on his face. He reached out his hand and slowly rubbed her head that had a handful of black hair. He slowly whispered to her "I'll come back after school. Okay? Sleep soundly." Taiga's lips tugged into a small smile at the moment and seeing that smile made Ryō even more happy. Then, suddenly he got an idea, and he made a clone. Looking at the clone he said "Go to school, and attend the classes. After school, come straight home." "You got it!" The clone replied while giving Ryō a thumbs up, and nearing Taiga, the clone kissed on her small forehead and said "Bye bye Taiga." As the clone left the room, Hiyori was coming to the room where they were. Seeing the clone, Hiyori said "Good. I was going to tell you to go to
