His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light

After a delirious first night together, Shi Guang found herself waking up to a cruel reality… a breakup initiated by him, ending their relationship! What? Why? How? These were the questions that bugged Shi Guang’s mind in the two years after he left without a trace. Just as she thought that she had finally managed to get over him, Lu Yanchen suddenly appeared before her and before she knew it, she had to get married to this man who had dumped her two years ago?! What? Why? How? These were the questions that Shi Guang were faced with after his mysterious appearance once more. Just what are Young Master Lu’s motives? Why is he always watching out for her even though he was the one that had dumped her? And worst still… What’s with that tsundere attitude of his…?! Translator’s Review: This is a really sweet novel about a couple that just annoys one another in the cutest ways. Lu Yanchen is a descendant of a powerful aristocratic military family. Cold, aloof, genius and sharp, this is a man that has it all – status, smarts and looks. But none of that matters when it comes to affairs involving his silly woman as everything melts away into an encompassing warmth. Purple-Red Beauty is someone that spends a lot of time building the settings of her novels. Earlier on, I too was rather annoyed at some of the things that Lu Yanchen did. But once the story gets on track… everything suddenly seemed even sweeter than before! If any of you have heard of the Japanese manga Itazura na Kiss or have caught any of the many Japanese (Mischievous Kiss), Chinese (It Started With A Kiss) and Korean (Playful Kiss) drama reboots made for it, you will definitely love it! :P

There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

``` Entering the world of the Scripted Murder Game isn't scary. Playing the role of the murderer is still doable. Playing the role of the victim is fine. Playing the role of a girl is manageable. Even if you have to deal with dark, strange monsters, and accidentally get tainted by them, it's no big deal. Shuo looked at the script in his hand and felt that he could still play the part! … But after adding a bunch of teammates with mental issues, he felt that he couldn't go on acting. This script is a bit off too! Shuo, "Can we not have a murderer, a victim, a girl, or psychos, and just have a normal person?" … —————— 【Non-traditional Scripted Murder Mystery Game】【Attention: The plot will gradually shift from normal to bizarre, focusing on tasks. Each Scripted Murder Game script is original, not fan-made. Non-original scripts will be indicated.】【Ensemble cast, with undercovers, role-playing, disguises, no female lead.】 ```

This reminds me of a Japanese Light Novel if Japanese Light Novels were any good. Please give this a chance. The prose is top tier with beautiful descriptions of bugs and ****. It paints a great mental image and really allows you to visualize all of the wacky hijinks Orou is up to.

One characteristic is the complex and often convoluted plots. They love to have many twists and turns, like in 'Zaregoto' series. Another is the unique settings. For example, some are set in a strange, alternate version of Japan like in 'Kagerou Daze'.

I recommend " Because I'm Too Ugly, I Have All the Charm ", a fantasy novel written by Hu Ayou. After the protagonist Su Chen was injured by the scumbag woman, he brought the system to travel through the foreign world and gained charm points. There was a lot of information about the supporting roles, such as Lan Meng. The overall evaluation changed from bootlicker to bootlicker. " The Elven King's Road to Champion " was not bad either. It was a light novel by Jiang Han. It was a story from the old era to the new era, combining reality with the PM world. The rules and trade were real, and the competition system was reliable. However, some people might not accept the elven speaking gameplay and the strong setting of the main character. Overall, it was just fodder. Scholar in the Red Chamber was Shang Di's fictional historical novel. The main character of the Red Chamber Imperial Examination is the struggle of the peasant children to save Sister Lin, not the harem. The writing style and plot were excellent. It was a unique style in the Doujinshi novel of 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. " The Way of the Sword: Overturning the Heavens " was a wuxia novel. The martial world faced threats from demonic sects, aristocratic families, and foreign races. There were also heroes such as eminent monks, Taoists, and scholars. One Piece: I'm Immortal, written by Drifting Raccoon. The male lead, Mo Jing, traveled through the world of pirates with special skills. There were many supporting roles. It was a well-stitched doujin novel that was worth reading. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The character settings were rich, and there were a few interesting nicknames. " The Elven King's Road to Champion " was not bad either. It was a light novel written by Jiang Han. The king of the old era had transmigrated to the new era, combining reality and the elf world. It was creative. Although there were some small problems, it was overall acceptable. 'The Way of the Sword's Traversing Heaven' was a martial arts novel written by an octopus eating meatballs. The martial world was turbulent and exciting. People from all over the world showed their divine powers. Scholar in the Red Chamber, a fictional historical novel written by Shang Di. The main character, a farmer's son, struggled to save Sister Lin. The plot was very good. One Piece: Summon the Tough Girl, created by Chestnut No. 27. There were many titles, but the content was good. The protagonist's ability was unique.

Then there's 'Baccano!' which is a bit more complex. It has multiple storylines set in different time periods that all come together in a mystery - filled adventure. There are gangs, immortals, and lots of unexpected turns in this light novel.

His soul power increased after being treated? Ning Rongrong was addicted

Wang Hai, a healing-type soul master, would trigger special effects when using healing soul skills on patients, including but not limited to increasing the opponent's soul power level, body strength, soul ring age, and even evolving the opponent's martial soul! After the special effect was triggered, Wang Hai would enjoy ten times the reward! Thus, several years later, Wang Hai's "Master" name resounded throughout the Spirit Master world, and he opened the "Security Hall". Countless Spirit Masters came to seek treatment, just to enjoy the powerful effects. No one dared to cause trouble because the first person who dared to cause trouble was called Tang Hao. The grass on his grave was already ten meters tall. Those who had been treated by Wang Hai were all top experts on the continent. After Liu Erlong was healed, her spirit evolved into Thunder Flame Dragon, her killing intent dispelled, the knot in her heart untied, and she personally killed the coward Yu Xiao Gang, becoming the first guardian of the Security Hall. Ning Rongrong, the first to take Wang Hai as her master, under her addiction to healing, had long ago strengthened her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the point where it was indestructible, even killing a god. However, there were always people who couldn't figure it out. On this day, Tang San came to visit. "Your soul power is thick and pure, your body is strong, and your spiritual power far surpasses your peers. There's nothing wrong with you. You don't need treatment." Wang Hai casually diagnosed. "I'm here to avenge my father!" Tang San said hatefully. "Revenge? Tsk tsk, Rongrong, someone's looking for trouble, you deal with it." Wang Hai was too lazy to act, ordering Ning Rongrong around. "Senior Sister, don't! Let me do it!" As soon as he finished speaking, a long leg kicked out, and Tang San flew backwards, his bones and tendons completely shattered. Xiao Wu retracted her leg and looked at Wang Hai with dissatisfaction: This kind of little trash, what need is there to call Rongrong Shijie?"

Female Supporting Script

Many scenes, a dull and mediocre life, both lucky and sad. She was the one who dared to love and hate, and she was the one who was weak. Among the thousands of people, she was the only one in the world. She was a noble princess, but she was also a lowly and filthy poor person. In reality, she was holding a supporting role script, and she was the main character in the life script. She could distinguish between good and evil and choose between good and evil. She was ruthless, arrogant, and extravagant. She was notorious in history for being evil and kind. Who wrote the book of history? She was the representative of one of the ten million decadent thoughts. She was gentle and pedantic. She lived by relying on men when she was alive and did not cling to anyone after death. Cold and noble was the last adjective for her. The new force of her country's future, cowardice, concession, no progress, no repentance is synonymous with her? She was so ordinary that she was like a speck of dust. When faced with career, love, and dreams, her desire was stronger than her nature. When faced with gains and losses, she cared too much. When faced with beauty, her heart was filled with longing. In an era where material desires were rampant, how could she find herself?

I, the model of the righteous path, how can I become a demon!

Shang You stood on the mountain peak and looked at the broken sky above his head as he chanted softly. Above the green sky, immortals appear, and divine light gathers in the divination of heaven. The ancient ruins of the Nine Realms were explored, and the treasures of Kunlun were locked in secret boxes. The Eight Desolates Sects started to fight, and the four sects 'prodigies danced in the sky. Now that the immortal destiny had descended upon the Nine States, who in the world could ascend? His gaze was far-reaching, and his pupils constantly reflected images of his past. After Shang You transmigrated to this world, he worked hard to cultivate and successfully entered the Green Firmament Grotto-heaven with the help of his system that could help others realize their hopes and become stronger. In the sect, his fellow disciples admired him very much and called him a genius who was willing to help others and an honest scum. Outside the sect, the disciples of Tian Ji Sect said that he was a genius who was entangled with the sect master. The disciples of Nine Realms Sky Pavilion said that he was a kind person who was entangled with the saintess. The disciples of Karakorum Immortal Mansion said that he was entangled with the sect and that he was a bastard that only appeared once in ten thousand years. Being loved by Karakorum Immortal Mansion, Shang You had always felt a great pressure. Later on, Shang You felt even more pressure. Because he was showing signs of becoming a demon. The conversation between him and the demonic witch was still vivid in his mind. "Shang You, you're destined to come to my side." "Bullshit!" Sigh, I was really young and frivolous at that time. It would have been better if I had agreed. Forget it, he didn't want to think about it anymore. It was time to risk his life. Shang You protected the lights below him and looked at the terrifying figures in the crack in the sky. He raised his sword and said angrily,"Damn it, where are the Ascendant cultivators?" Come and save me! He shouldn't have believed the words of those scammers from the Archaic Mysteries Sect! When I get back, I will beat up the people of Karakorum Immortal Mansion to vent my anger!"
