Behind your Mask is a Beautiful Smile

The warmth of the sunlight that was shining through the window landed on the girl's flawless face. Her eyelashes fluttered rapidly as her hands clenched onto her blanket tightly. She chanted, "No! No! Don't.. please.. I beg you stop! Ahh!!" She gasped for breath as she wiped the layer of cold sweat off her forehead. She looked at her phone and laid in bed after realizing that she was in her apartment. 'I'm safe.. it's alright.. safe..' After calming down, she took a quick shower and looked into the mirror. "Yang Ya Nuo! you got this! New day, new beginning!" She got dressed in a male school uniform and applied her makeup and wig. Within the next 15 minutes, her beautiful jade like face transformed into a handsome young man's face. "Aha! That should do it! Handsome like always. Breakfast time~" Since young, Ya Nuo learned how to change her voice to sound like a male's voice in case she needed it one day. Unlike girls at her age who liked to hang out with friends and go shopping, she only loves one thing, food! She works three part time jobs and is attending a famous school on a scholarship that covers full tuition. She cheerfully walked to the kitchen to see what's there to make for breakfast. When she opened the fridge, she saw nothing, but a piece of sausage inside. Sigh.. "I paid for rent and ran out of money to restock for grocery." Ding Dong "Who is it?" she said in a grumpy tone. "Yo!" Xu Huan Hei greeted her with a hand wave. "Is it time already? There's still half an hour before the usual time you come to get me for school." "Nope! But I do have something I want to discuss with you." he smiled dazzlingly. He was the school's second most popular guy that every female wished to date. The number one ranked male student was Ya Nuo. These two met each other at a young age, but due to some reason Huan Hei never found out about her female gender. "I'm hungry. Let's talk food first." "Here~ i already prepared a bag of groceries and two bacon, egg, and sausage for you" he winked. Ya Nuo smirked, "Oh? Seems like it's something important hmm? Alright, let me enjoy my breakfast as we discuss your 'favor.'" In the middle of enjoying her bacon, egg, and sausage, she suddenly spit out the mouthful of food onto Huan Hei. "will you be my girlfriend?" he asked confidently. "Are you crazy?? I'm a guy! 100% male!" "But you are so pretty, even girls say you have feminine features. I'm sure with a little makeup you'll look very cute!" "... what's your reason?" "A girl keeps pestering me and chasing after me to get into a relationship with her. I told her for the past two years that I'm not interested in any relationships, but she refused to listen. I accidentally slipped out and said I actually have a girlfriend... so she asked to meet her.. and I didn't have anyone that is trustworthy enough for this job." "No." "Pretty please" "No!" "Come on~ I'll buy you lunch~" "I'm not that cheap." "Fine, 3 months worth of lunch and groceries!" "Deal." In the meantime, at a luxurious restaurant, a man with gray hair sipped his wine, "Did you guys find her yet?" "No.. sir" "Then why are you here? Go! Find her and bring her here! Don't come back and report bullshit to me!" "Yes!" *THERE IS NO RAPE OR ANY SEXUAL ASSAULT IN THIS NOVEL. BUT WARNING OF 18+ CONTENT* The book cover is not mine, credits go to the original author.

Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile

Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile

When a mountain comes to life, awakening its consciousness, it takes on another form—a Mountain Spirit. And that’s me reborn with extraordinary Divine powers. Want to know what these divine powers are? Well, one of them allows me to accelerate herb growth—up to one hundred times faster! Impressive, right? But wait, there’s more! I also possess a ‘golden finger’—which is ‘Space-Time’ system that lets me fish for lost techniques, weapons, pill formulas, and other treasures from the rivers of time and space. With these at my disposal, I’m sure to become stronger, at least stronger than the beautiful sect master who claims my mountain as her personal retreat and constantly drag me into her matters. It’s not an easy life, but no need to worry! I’m not just any spirit—I’m a human spirit born from a mountain, which means I have an extraordinary talent for cultivation. To top it off, my system was generous enough to grant me a divine cultivation technique right from the start. There’s just one tiny problem: it’s a dual cultivation technique, and I need a partner to cultivate it. So, I had no choice but to convince the sect master’s stunning disciple to help me out. I mean, it’s not like I’m after her gorgeous long legs, her curvaceous thighs, or her… well, you get the point. I’m just a humble cultivator trying to grow stronger by any means necessary. If only she’d run into some trouble, so I could swoop in and save the day. That would make things a lot easier for me… but alas, life is never that simple. Still, I’ll find a way. With my Space-Time system, my mountain’s power, and a little charm, I’ll outgrow this mountain and surpass everyone—even the sect master. And maybe, just maybe, I’ll enjoy the beauties along the way. *** No NTR, No Yuri, No Yaoi *** LinkTree- https://linktr.ee/Around_The_Moon Discord- https://discord.gg/zTgR9VFduX

Titles for a sad story: 'The Lost Smile', 'Fading Memories', 'Goodbye Forever'. Analyze the possible themes of these titles.
In 'The Lost Smile', it may tell the story of a person who has lost their self - identity and with it, their ability to show genuine happiness. It could be a journey of self - discovery where the character tries to find their smile again. 'Fading Memories' can be about the pain of losing the connection with one's past. As memories fade, so does a part of who we are. This title might explore how a character copes with this loss. 'Goodbye Forever' is a very sad and final - sounding title. It could depict a scenario where a character has to say goodbye to a dream, an opportunity, or a person they deeply care about. This could lead to feelings of regret, grief, and a sense of a life that will never be the same.

The fading rose novel
I recommend " The Love of Dressed Quickly ", a sci-fi space novel written by Rose Youyou. Only after traveling through three worlds did they realize that they could return to reality. There was a worry-free system that didn't act cute or tease. Other than the first world, there was no CP or male lead. If they didn't like the first small world, they could skip it without affecting their reading. Many people couldn't stop reading. " The Enchanted Rose of the Other World " was not bad either. It was a fantasy romance novel written by Li Yiyi. The female protagonist, Zhong Sheng, faced a conspiracy and assassination. Although she had a noble identity, she was isolated and helpless after losing her memory. She grew into a bloody murderer under the obstruction of lovers, love rivals, political enemies, and so on. She only wanted to revive the glory of the family and move forward firmly in the darkness. There was also Feng Shuang's " Flower of France ", a historical novel. It was a story about the French valkyrie Joan of Arc. The style was quite good. Later on, he focused on writing the female protagonist. Although there were no new works, it was worth reading. FazoR's " Blue Danube " was an ancient romance novel related to the " Rose of Bayaria " series. It had many keywords related to European history. Lord Winston's " Anglo Rose " was also worth recommending. It was the story of a female naval second lieutenant traveling to 16th-century England. The author had a strong historical foundation and exquisite writing style. Although few people read it, it was very exciting. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Time is fading away
The phrase "the passing of youth" meant that the good times (youth) were gradually passing away. In the many materials provided, the passing of youth was reflected from different angles. From the perspective of memories and dreams, as the youth gradually passed, the memories remained in the depths of the mind, and only the beauty of the past could be pursued in the dream. From the perspective of growth, in the process of the passing of youth, people learned to cherish, move, abandon, and let go, and their souls could be sublimated. From the perspective of youth, the passing of youth made people realize that youth was short. They should be proactive in their youth, protect their ideals, live up to time, and not leave regrets in life.

Summer is fading away
Summer was getting further and further away, and this phenomenon could be reflected in many ways. From the perspective of solar terms, in China, summer began from the beginning of summer (between May 5 and 7 every year) and ended at the beginning of autumn. After the beginning of autumn, the breath of summer gradually weakened. From the perspective of temperature, meteorologists used the average temperature of five days as the standard. When the temperature was lower than 22 ° C, it meant the end of summer and the beginning of autumn. As the temperature gradually decreased, the heat of summer slowly disappeared. In literary works, there were many descriptions and feelings about Xia Tian's departure. Many writers wrote about summer with its unique scenery and atmosphere. When these scenes gradually disappeared, it also hinted at the departure of summer. For example, the cool air in the summer morning and the dew on the grass in Wang Zengqi's works would no longer exist as the seasons changed. The scene of people moving dinner tables to the street in the summer described by Su Tong would also become rare as the summer passed. From people's feelings and dressing habits, one could also see that summer was gone. In the summer, people's clothes were mostly cool, such as the summer's sweet and spicy halter skirts, colorful short T-skirts, etc. As the weather turned cold, people would start to change into warmer clothes, no longer having the light and cool style of summer. The growth cycle of crops was also related to the departure of summer. Summer was the best season for many crops to grow vigorously. As summer gradually faded away, the growth state of crops would also change. For example, some plants that grew rapidly in summer might slow down in autumn.

The meaning of fading lead
" Fading away all the lead " meant removing the external gorgeous decorations or disguises and returning to a simple and original state. It could be used to describe people abandoning their vanity and exaggerated appearances to show their true self, or it could be used to describe things that showed their simple and pure essence after removing their flourishing and gorgeous appearance. The novel " The Lost Seventeen " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to read it!

Memories of the fading light novel
I recommend " Tokyo Ghost Story Catcher ", a light novel created by eight heavenly secrets, and a fantasy novel.

For example, the ghost story battle could increase the ability of the hatching eggs. " After the Descent of My God Tycoon Game " was not bad either. It was an urban novel written by Ye Zhitang. The male lead was Su Xiao, and the female leads were Li Ruzhen, Guan Zhiyao, and many other supporting actresses. After Su Xiao hit rock bottom, the God of Tycoons game came to reality, and the beautiful secretary team also came. It was full of urban elements. 'The Battle of the Twin Cities Starting from Saving Ginks' was a Doujinshi novel created by the Southern Mountain Catwoman. The male protagonist, Su Cheng, transmigrated to the world of League of Legends, while the female protagonists included Explosive Explosion and Jinx. The protagonist started his journey to the two cities by saving Ginx, but the protagonist was criticized for being selfish. However, there were also highlights in the story.

The story had a fight in the house, a fight in the palace, and a fight in the court. The female protagonist had a decisive personality and a good writing style. " From the Grandfather Calabash Brothers to the Heavens ", a novel written by the fat dog Dun Dun Zhou.
