Summary: In a world plagued by a mysterious and sinister game, humanity finds itself trapped in a horrifying alternate reality. Participants are tasked with completing terrifying missions, with their lives at stake. Dr. Zhao Yi, a renowned psychologist, is unexpectedly pulled into this game, but his data source code becomes corrupted, leading to unknown chaos. As the game descends into madness, an extraordinary being, feared even by the supernatural entities within, emerges. Haunted by the ghosts of their pasts, the game's inhabitants share their nightmarish experiences. One such entity, the Weeping Ghost, laments how it merely intended to assign an additional side mission to Dr. Zhao but instead had its head severed gruesomely.

Driven by suspense, horror, and unexpected twists, the story takes readers on a chilling adventure through a realm where survival means more than just winning the game—it means surviving one's own darkest fears.

Savage Elegance is a thrilling tale of rebirth, revenge, and undeniable attraction. Savannah Grey had been nothing more than an abandoned wife—neglected, humiliated, and left to fend for herself in a world where power meant survival. Framed and betrayed by those closest to her, she lost everything… even her life. But fate had other plans. Reborn into her own past, Savannah awakens with the sharp mind of a strategist and the unyielding heart of a warrior. No longer the weak, naive woman who had once begged for love, she is now a force to be reckoned with. Cold, calculating, and dangerously intelligent, she vows to reclaim what is rightfully hers—her family’s empire, her dignity, and above all, her freedom. Yet, standing in her way is the man who once cast her aside—Weston Stark. A ruthless CEO and a man who thrives on control, he never imagined that the wife he ignored would return with fire in her veins and ice in her gaze. At first, he believes she is the same woman, but the shift in her demeanor, the brilliance in her eyes, and the razor-sharp tongue that now challenges him at every turn awaken something darkly possessive within him. As Savannah dismantles the enemies who plotted against her, she finds herself locked in a dangerous game of power and desire with Weston. Their battles are no longer just in the boardroom but in the heart—where hatred and passion blur in ways neither expected. She will take back what was stolen. She will make them all pay. And if Weston Stark believes he can claim her again, he will soon learn— She is no longer the woman he once knew. She is savage elegance itself.

Collect! A rare little white tiger that can discharge electricity? Collect! A behemoth spirit crocodile with its young? Collect! As long as it's alive and edible, collect, collect, collect them all!

One day, a strange hand suddenly appeared inside Chi Wan’s interdimensional space. Its owner claimed to be living in the apocalypse—starving, desperate—and begged to trade anything he had for food. Chi Wan stared at the pile of Imperial Green jade, oversized diamonds, and dozens of kilograms of gold bars he offered… and fell into deep thought. …Wasn’t this a little too profitable? From then on, her connection to the apocalypse only grew stronger. The mysterious man—who turned out to be a powerful figure—used his Wood Ability to help her revive rare orchids, cultivate endangered plants, and even harvest zombie crystal cores for the country. As for Chi Wan? She only had three responsibilities: feed him, feed him, and keep feeding him. Somehow, without realizing it, a group of extraordinary men began to gather around her: A genius research scientist. An aloof, abstinent CEO. A cold and ruthless Soldier King… In front of Chi Wan, they were gentle, attentive, and impeccably polite—each trying to outshine the others. Behind her back? They were one step away from tearing each other apart. Meanwhile, on the other side of the spatial link… The so-called King of the Apocalypse clenched his teeth in silence as he listened to these men compete for her attention. As for Chi Wan? “I’m busy getting rich and supporting my family,” she said calmly. “A battle royale of suitors? I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Until one day— An absurdly handsome man appeared at the gates of her villa… carrying a sack filled with gold and jewels. “I’m here to marry into your family,” he declared. Chi Wan glanced at him, then at the newly connected wasteland world inside her space… …and once again fell into deep thought.
