Cosmic Architecture and the Universe

For three years, Li Xian, a brilliant architect with a heart of gold, was the shadow in Sheng Anqi’s life. He was the one who fixed her plumbing at 2:00 AM, brought her favorite porridge when she was sick, and waited in the rain just to see her smile. But to Anqi, a woman who built walls higher than the skyscrapers she managed, his devotion felt like a cage. After her cold rejection of his most heartfelt gift, Li Xian finally hits his breaking point. He doesn't scream; he doesn't cry. He simply says, "I'm tired, Anqi. I think I’m done." When the silence follows, Anqi initially feels a sense of victory—until the "Li Xian-sized hole" in her life begins to swallow her whole. As she starts to realize that her "independence" was actually built on his silent support, she finds herself doing the unthinkable: chasing the man she spent years pushing away. Meanwhile, chaos erupts behind the scenes. Li Meilin, Xian’s impulsive sister, and Han Jinyu, Anqi’s stoic best friend, wake up after a night of venting and drinking to find themselves in the same bed. To prevent a PR nightmare for Meilin and solve Jinyu’s financial woes, the two polar opposites sign a one-year marriage contract. Now, they must navigate a fake life together while their best friends and siblings play a high-stakes game of emotional hide-and-seek.

Ima was always a pariah. His obsession with video games and visual novels made him the perfect target for social rejection, leading him to live more within digital worlds than in the harshness of reality. However, his life changes drastically after a failed confession of love ends in a fatal accident. On the threshold of death, Ima receives an offer impossible to refuse: a second chance in exchange for a deal that will alter his existence forever. Waking up seconds before the impact, Ima discovers that he now possesses the abilities of the games he loves so much. Notifications, statistics, and decision points appear before his eyes. But what seems like any fan's dream soon transforms into a lucid nightmare. Ima will not be slow to understand that the mechanics of a visual novel are atrocious when applied to real life. Forced by a power he cannot turn off and dragged by social circumstances beyond his control, he will gradually find himself entangled in dilemmas and problems that will lead him to live a life he never desired.

Settling into a quiet, fog-swept coastal town in Oregon, she finds sanctuary working as an operations consultant for ClearView Glass Design, an architectural firm owned by Jayden Cross, her first love and childhood protector.

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
