pretend to sleep

Xia Yue feels her life is as melodramatically convoluted as a novel. The family that raised her for more than twenty years isn't truly hers, and she's merely a counterfeit rich girl. After confirming she's indeed not a child of the Xia family, she takes the initiative and moves out, making space for the real heiress. And then, she gets knocked out by an object in the courtyard of her new home, and ends up being bound to a system. This system has no sense of martial morality, even going as far as imposing tasks on her forcibly. But the system doesn't care about her complaints, constantly pestering her. Xia Yue is so annoyed, it's giving her a headache. So, she decides to get rid of the system.

It all began with a poor orphan who would work every day for long hours to pay for his Aunt's medical bills. When his life begins to fall apart and he is homeless sleeping in an alleyway he hears a robotic voice. {Do you wish to integrate with the Dungeon System} "Yes" he answers, without much to lose. And from then his life had never been the same. He was taken into a dungeon each night to hunt and he began to realise just how little he really knew about the world that was much wider than he thought.

Aiden Shaw, the top surgeon at Sudglen Central Hospital, is known for his superb medical skills, his aloof and refined demeanor, and for keeping everyone at a distance. Just as filming for her movie wrapped up, Laura Lowell had a few too many drinks and ran into the tall and handsome Aiden Shaw at her doorstep, clinging to him for dear life and refusing to let go. The next day's entertainment headlines read: “Newly-crowned Best Actress’s Late-Night Rendezvous with a Mysterious Man, Possibly Living Together.” Her agent was frantic, but the big boss of her company casually remarked, “I actually think you and this Dr. Shaw are quite a good match. Why don’t you just make it official?” Under pressure from her boss and public opinion, Laura could only bite the bullet and go ask Dr. Shaw for help. “Dr. Shaw, could I trouble you, despite your busy schedule, to pretend to be my boyfriend?” Aiden Shaw put down his pen, looked up calmly, and said, “Yes.” Laura almost thought she was hearing things. He agreed so readily? Only later did Laura realize, heh, that she had been played from the very beginning. ........... It was a fortunate twist of fate that allowed us to meet in the vast sea of people. I've come to spend the rest of my life with you.

This is a story of a guy who loses everything, and then gets it back. Same old new world story, just a different kind of story teller. *** They took away our hunter tags. They had us grow our hair. They gave us a new brand, when we were over there. They staged us out of Dragur, East of the Olim Horn. I guess they call us Slaves, but no one calls us much anymore. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. Karn brought Sorrow. Pookie brought Fear. Milk brought the fly boys. They did work in Undia. I worked mostly clandestine. Some Legends I should not say. We played with better wands. I could use the extra pay. Did Mara give the order? Did venom pay the way? They said we were slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. This was before HALO, and Codex was king. Hej atop the rider, he never felt a thing. When our rider caught a spell, and both the mages killed. It pitched us over sideways on some cold Sylph hill. My back felt like it was broken, my legs I could not feel. I kept on slaying demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I never did heal up right from injuries sustained Officially in Torin, unofficially we train. I remember all their faces. They dream about me still. I guess I'm slaying demons, but it's kind of hard to tell. There no fun in killing. I don't want to do it anymore. I speak the cold logistic, that old boys speak so well. Veni, Vedi, Vici. I'll see you in Hel. Maybe it's bravado, or an unspeakable guilt. That village, they were demons, but it was kind of hard to tell. There is no fun in killing. I don't wanna to do it anymore. I've done plenty. What is one more? -Corb Lund *** Come guess me this riddle. What beats shire leaves and fiddle? What is hotter than pleasures touch, and whiter than cream? What best wets his whistle? What is clearer than crystal? What is sweeter than honey and stronger than steam? What will make the lame walk? What will make the dumb talk? What is the elixir of life and philosopher's stone? And what helped Pookie-Baba dig up a tunnel, that runs from Shalamanda to West-Torin? When you are digging a crater, It is the best thing in nature, for sinking your sorrows and raising your joys. Sometimes I wonder, if lightning and thunder, is made out of the plunder, of the reddest hiski and oils. *** If you can keep your head when all about you, are losing theirs and blaming it on you. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or being lied about, don’t deal in lies, or being hated, don’t give way to hating, And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise. If you can dream, and not make dreams your master. If you can think, and not make thoughts your aim. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same. If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken, twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, and stoop and build them up with worn-out tools. If you can make one heap of all your winnings, and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breathe a word about your loss. If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew, to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you; Except the Will which says to them ‘Hold on!’ If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, nor walk with Kings, nor lose the common touch. If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you. If all men count with you, but none too much. If you can fill the unforgiving minute, with sixty seconds worth of distance, run. Yours is the World and everything that’s in it, and which is more you’ll be a Man, my son. - Rudyard Kipling

[Mystery/Crime Solving + Mental Illness + Doted On By Everyone + No CP] A week ago, whenever Jiang Li slept, she would find herself either dismembering a body or on the way to dispose of one. When she saw that a serial murder case in the news matched her dreams exactly, she decided to turn herself in. At the police station, she dreamed of killing someone again, only to realize upon waking up... She had gained the first-person perspective of a criminal! Right at the beginning, she sent her human-trafficker adoptive father to the police station. As a result, just after returning, she dreamed of herself driving a car and running over a whole street of people! After a careful investigation, it turned out to be the largest trafficking organization. The moment she closed her eyes, she saw herself chopping meat again, so she had no choice but to call the police once more. Later... "Officer Ji, I..." As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the police officer squatting by her bed, looking at her with gleaming eyes. Before she could finish speaking, he excitedly stood up. "Let's go, let's go! We get it, we get it!" Afterwards, it was almost as if they had moved the entire police station into her house, eating and living together with her. "Jiang Li, you're awake? Are there any new cases?" "Jiang Li, Jiang Li, are you sleepy?" "Jiang Li, Jiang Li, handcuffs in the left hand, gun in the right, we're always ready!" Further on, as the cases unfolded, her life story came to the surface, and everything became traceable.

Overnight, Guan Xuxu rose from a destitute woman who swept out the door of the Guan family to a true daughter worth billions of dollars! Former family members were filled with regret, and surprisingly, the lion opened his mouth and demanded half of the Jiang family's wealth? Hmph, Guan Xuxu is not a vegetarian. A mantra reveals the greed and ugliness of the Guan family. And when the scumbag seeks reconciliation, she mercilessly gives him the privilege of "meeting his ancestors". This seemingly delicate woman actually holds a secret technique that can ward off evil, draw talismans, save people, and easily hold onto her golden thighs! Guan Xuxu, a name that was once insignificant in the Guan family, has now become a legend in the entire wealthy community. Guan Jia, the cold place that once swept her out of the house, is now regretful. They thought that with the so-called nurturing kindness, the lion could speak up and demand half of its wealth from the Jiang family as a reward. However, they were wrong, and Guan Xuxu was no longer the little girl who was easily bullied back then. Faced with the shameless demands of the Guan family, Guan Xuxu just sneered. She lightly uttered a mantra, leaving the ugly faces of the Guan family nowhere to hide. The so-called family members who once mocked and laid stones on her now look like clowns in front of her. They were horrified to discover that the woman they once looked down upon had such terrifying strength and means. And the scumbag who once betrayed her now has the audacity to turn back and entangle. However, Guan Xuxu mercilessly waved his hand and directly asked him to "see his ancestors" night and night. This kind of punishment is undoubtedly worse than death for a scumbag, but it also makes him completely understand a truth: some people, once missed, will not do it again. The cousins of the Guan family originally couldn't see Guan Xuxu and thought she was embarrassing. However, reality gave them a loud slap in the face. The head of the Song family personally visited Guan Xuxu, hoping that she would take action to save his daughter. The Xu family, who have always had old grudges with the Jiang family, also licked their faces and came to apologize and seek peace. They finally realized that Guan Xuxu was not only a true daughter with a value of billions, but also a mysterious master! Even the cousin who has always been hostile towards heaven and earth has now become a loyal follower of Guan Xuxu. "This is my only sister!" He arrogantly declared that whoever dares to curse her will curse the entire family! This transformation left everyone stunned but also confirmed the status and strength of Guan Xuxu. The Jiang family, who had regained their senses, only knew that the little pitiful person they once thought was such a powerful person. Exorcism, drawing talismans, and rescuing people, which are unattainable for ordinary people, are easily accessible to Guan Xuxu. And her ability to chase after golden thighs has made countless people envious. However, for all of this, Guan Xuxu simply said calmly, "I'm so busy." It seemed like all of this was just a piece of cake for her. And at this moment, Chu Beihe, known as the Golden Thighs, also took the initiative to share the pressure on Guan Xuxu. He said affectionately, "No need to chase, it's already yours." This statement undoubtedly declared his ownership of Guan Xuxu to the world. From this moment on, Guan Xuxu not only has the confidence of being worth billions, but also has the solid support of Chu Beihe. How wonderful and colorful will her life be? Let's wait and see together!
