Bamboo Heart
Young General Yan was having a spat with the girl who held his heart.
During the night banquet, he had hidden a stem of Evening Magnolia.
He declared that whoever found that flower would become the General’s Wife.
The noble ladies all turned their heads, scanning the room to see where the Evening Magnolia had landed. I remained silent.
I simply used my foot to quietly kick away the flower lying behind my seat.
A moment later, Yan Ci’s nonchalant voice rang out. “I wonder which lady has picked up my flower?”
Belated Love
I’ve read so many novels about the “crematorium” trope-where the husband has to crawl back and beg for forgiveness-but I never expected to find myself starring in one.
Except there’s no chasing, only the crematorium.
Because I’m actually dead.
I’ve become a ghost, watching the man who betrayed me. Seven days after my death, he finally seems crushed by a delayed sense of grief. In the home I can never return to, he howls in agony, acting as if life is no longer worth living.
You want to know how I feel?
I just stand there blankly, carefully admiring every inch of pain etched onto his face.
I listen intently to his desperate wails, triggered by my departure.
Beyond the desolation and heartache in my soul, a massive wave of schadenfreude suddenly wells up within me.
A joyful, blissful sense of schadenfreude.
It’s a sensation so sharp it borders on thrill. I cover my mouth and begin to laugh.
Bite Marks
Introduction: Ning Qiuyan participated in a Volunteer Medical Program, serving as a Humanoid Blood Bag for a certain powerful figure suffering from a blood disorder.
Guan Heng, the legendary mysterious tycoon, lives a reclusive and extremely low-profile life. When a photo of him was leaked, he quietly became popular online for his long hair and striking, androgynous beauty.
Ning Qiuyan discovered:
Guan Heng never appears in daylight; his house always has the curtains drawn, and they only meet at night.
Guan Heng has pale skin, a cold and eccentric personality, and every time Ning Qiuyan is asked to donate blood, he must first fast and bathe.
That house is cold and dark, with no sunlight.
Guan Heng’s heartbeat is slow, and his body temperature is icy.
The first time Ning Qiuyan fell asleep during the blood donation, he woke up to find a bite mark on the side of his neck.
And he, inexplicably, found himself wanting to submit to Guan Heng.
Bite Me Before Dawn
Synopsis While working the night shift at the hospital morgue, a man on the autopsy table who had died from blood loss suddenly opened his eyes and called out my name.
Only later did I learn that he was a vampire who had lived for two hundred years, and I was the one he had been searching for through seventeen lifetimes-the only person who could both save him and kill him.
Black Koi
My sister has a Koi Birthmark on her face.
After receiving her blessing, my father won five million in the lottery, and my mother regained a stunning, slender figure.
I was the only one who wanted nothing from her.
Because I knew that what was on my sister’s face was a Black Koi.
Whatever you take from her, you must pay back double.
Blessing of the Underworld God
I transmigrated into a world of horror, and by accident, I stole and ate the Bodhisattva’s offerings.
But the Bodhisattva did not blame me. Instead, They told me to leave that place and never come back.
After I became an adult, a huge sum of money inexplicably appeared in my account.
Someone told me I must not accept it.
Because in another world, someone was making offerings to the dead-me.
Half skeptical and half convinced, I took the money.
But that night, I heard the Bodhisattva’s whisper again.
“Run…”
“The thing from that world…”
“It has found you.”
Blood Rouge
I spent ten years in the imperial harem testing rouge, and not once did I fail to detect a single trace of poison.
That was until Consort Hua dropped dead after applying the “Drunken Beauty Red” I had personally verified.
It was then that a newly arrived talented lady told me: what truly kills isn’t the rouge, but the intent to murder.
Bone Weighing
Fu Qiu had always accepted her lot in life.
When she was a child, a blind man read her fortune through bone-weighing and said her bones were light, her fate was lowly, and that in this life she could only sell her body.
As it happened, her family was going through hard times, so her father simply sold her to a brothel.
When she was still young and first put on display, the madam said that although she was beautiful, her face carried a pitiful, sorrowful look, and the customers she attracted would never be decent men.
Sure enough, every few days, she suffered another bout of abuse.
By middle age, her looks had withered, and she married a merchant. The neighbors said her thin lips and fox-like eyes meant she would never be the faithful sort.
Before long, rumors were flying everywhere. The merchant could not bear it, and on a rainy night, he drove her out of the house.
Even so, she never hated anyone. She only hated that her own fate was so poor.
As she lay on the verge of death, the Old Blind Man happened to pass by drunk, bragging to the crowd.
“Twenty years ago, I saw a little girl in another town. She was so young, but she already had the looks to topple a kingdom.
“So I pretended to be blind, did a bone-weighing for her, and told her she had a lowly fate-that in this life, she could only become a whore.
“And guess what? Her whole family believed me!”
Born as a Yin Official
In the unluckiest year of my life, a wandering Daoist priest came to town.
He gave my father an idea: have me worship a Household Guardian Immortal to suppress my bad luck, and maybe I would live past the age of ten.
My father was a rough man who had made his fortune in troubled times by the barrel of a gun.
He called his adjutant over and did the math for him. “One Household Guardian Immortal keeps her alive to ten, two keep her alive to twenty, and twenty keep her alive to two hundred. Right?”
The adjutant counted on his fingers. “Marshal, your math is absolutely correct.”
My father hardened his heart and rounded up all the pigs, cattle, and sheep from miles around as offerings.
“My damn girl is going to live ten thousand years!”
That year, my father rode into the old mountain forest on a pig with me and took eleven Household Guardian Immortal into our household.
He flew into a rage. “Damn it, that’s still one short of the twelve zodiac animals!”
Later, who knew where he bought a Daoist boy from, but that made the twelfth.
Bottle Woman
During an intimate moment, I accidentally scratched the tattoo on my boyfriend’s back, and he suddenly flew into a rage.
Feeling deeply wronged, I went to an emotional support livestream that night to talk about what happened.
The audience chimed in one after another to defend me, suspecting that my boyfriend’s feelings for me had changed.
Only the Host asked with a dead-serious expression:
“That tattoo on your boyfriend’s back-is it a bottle?”
