some aspects of the grotesque in southern fiction

My CEO Husband Has Some Issues

"My pants are already off. Stopping now would be a bit redundant, don't you think?" Everyone knew the cool, aristocratic Chairman Li was sick, but only Rong Yan knew the man was problematic and sick in the head. That day, she was accosted at the bedroom entrance. Long arms held her against her will as the man leaned into her ear and whispered, "Marry me." Rong Yan struggled to no avail. Frustrated, she said, "I have a boyfriend of five years." "You mean my son is your boyfriend?" For her baby boy, she was willing to secretly marry this billionaire chairman. From then on, he held the knife for her kills, and poured the gasoline as she set fires. Everyone knew the chairman was possessive and paranoid—and Rong Yan was his bottom line. The five-year-old Li Duidui was at a loss. When Daddy and Mommy fought, was he supposed to help clear up the misunderstanding or close the door on them...

Awaiting the Moon's Return in the Southern City

Eve Thompson found herself waking up in the bed of S City's most eligible bachelor with his arm around her waist, but she only had her mother's words in her mind. "Make sure nobody finds out you're disguised as your sister," she told her, looking at the fake birthmark drawn with makeup on her remaining daughter's face. "You have to get Mr. Charlie to marry you, everything we have depends on it!" said she. It was a shame, for the man beside him closely resembled the man she'd lost many years ago. Anthony Charlie's favor with women was notoriously hard to gain, but in a drunken stupor, he crawled under the sheets with the woman beside her, enticed by the memory of someone he'd lost long ago that this woman resembled. However, she never had a birthmark. It could never be her. Was their encounter coincidental? What would their hidden past reveal!? Join Eve Thompson on her exciting journey of courtship and political espionage as she steps into the shoes of her twin sister's now-abandoned life and tries to save her family by winning the heart of the mysterious bachelor, Anthony Charlie!

Bringing some shocking pranks to the Cultivation World

Interviewer: "Immortal Zhou Li, could you tell us why you created the orthodox methods and forged the twelve righteous paths, condensing twelve talismans to resolve ancient and modern disputes?" "Just to liven things up." Interviewer: "Well, I mean, did you reorganize the Great Ming Dynasty and plant the Seven Immortal Gourds based on the laws of myriad spirits, brewing the Spring of Spirit Qi for the glory of mankind or...?" "Just to really liven things up." Interviewer: "No, Immortal Zhou Li, I feel that you've done so much for humanity, for the Immortal Realm, and for Da Ming. Your purpose and starting point should be a bit more noble, such as...?" "Enough already, can't you see? I just wanted to bring some entertainment to the spiritually impoverished Great Ming Dynasty and everyone in the Cultivation World. Here, let's liven things up for everyone." The white-robed immortal pointed a finger, and alongside him, a chaotic and ferocious Ancient God swung indescribable and bizarre tendrils. Then, with a surge forward followed by a backflip, it landed stylishly, all the while muttering the delirious ramblings of an Ancient God. 【Damn, let's go, ignore it!】 "No fun? Who would cultivate without any fun?"

actually the story is really good there are some inconsistencies but they don't affect the story much and the writing style and quality actually improves but a major issue you will notice in later chapters is that major development and kingdom building is done in the southern part of India although northern part is not ignored but the importance given to it is no where near as much as southern part The development inn th Northern states is bare minimum even when given a chance the MC Focus is still on southern state

Honestly a really well written one and plus the MC isn't turning into some grotesque abomination or something so points for that. Thanks for an MC with a defined form and shape and for the seamless relation and mirroring of the actual plot.

A warm marriage from heaven: Miss Tang is proud of her favor

What made Tang Qi's life a cheat? Tang Qi's scumbag father had sent Tang Qi to a stranger's bed on her birthday. Tang Qi could take it and let it go. He treated it as being schemed against by his scumbag father. Who would have thought that that man would still have the face to come knocking on her door! "I will take responsibility for you." he said coldly. "No need!" Tang Qi answered very straightforwardly. "I don't think they took any precautions last night." The corners of his lips curled into an imperceptible smile." If you sleep with me, you'll be my woman, and my only woman." "What right do you have to give me happiness?" Tang Qi asked. " Marry me, and you'll be able to do whatever you want in City H." He spoke again. "How do you plan to make me do whatever I want?" Tang Qi laughed out loud." Don't overestimate yourself!" "President of Fengqi Group, Mu Rufeng." He answered word by word," The title of Mrs. Mu should be enough." This time, Tang Qi didn't refuse. It would be a waste not to pick up such a good bargain." I'll marry!" It was rumored that Mrs. Mu was the happiest woman in the world. Tang Qi held his waist and thought," Do you know how fierce Mu Rufeng is? How can he say that I'm happy?"
