Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Tan Rou only learned that she wasn’t the Tan family’s daughter when she was seventeen years old. She went from being a rich young lady to living in the slums. The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death. She would stomp on those who wronged her and make it up to her real family. They wouldn’t have had to die tragically on the streets in the past life had it not been for her. Tan Rou turned completely evil after crawling back out of Hell. Everyone claimed that the real young lady was educated and talented, while the fake young lady was arrogant and incompetent. Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world. Wait, where was the promised humiliation?

Are the stories in the Four Great Classics real or fictional?
The Four Great Classics were the classics of Chinese literature. The plots and characters in them were deeply rooted in people's hearts. However, some of the plots were based on historical events and folklore, and were not completely true. For example,'Dream of the Red Chamber' depicted the life of the Qing Dynasty aristocrats and the fickleness of the world. Some of the characters and plots were adapted from history and folklore. Therefore, the stories in the four masterpieces are not completely true, but they are more attractive and readable through the adaptation of history and folklore.

Are great war ghost stories based on real events?
There is a belief that in places like the battlefields of Verdun in World War I, the high number of casualties and the sheer brutality of the fighting could have led to some sort of 'residual energy'. This energy might be what people perceive as ghostly activity. But on the other hand, when stories are passed down through generations, they can be embellished. So, while there could be a kernel of truth in some great war ghost stories, it's hard to say for certain that they are all based on real events.
