Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

It’s my best work. At least as far as creativeness and it’s a passion project. I researched a lot of old sci-fi films of the 50’s along with various sci-fi pulp novels.

The best husband is not to be trifled with

Hard mouth, soft heart, tsundere star female lead VS vicious mouth, kind heart, affectionate humble CEO male lead * After spending five years, Shen Yicheng still could not understand why Tang Yi wanted to break up with him. It was obvious that everyone agreed to their love. Looking at her back view as she left resolutely, he swore that he would make her fall for him until she wished she was dead. That night, Shen Yicheng flew to an unfamiliar city. Over there, he was an honest, gentlemanly, gentle, and modest gentleman. Little did they know that he used to be a crazy demon that everyone was afraid of. When they met again, he gave her a jacket at the party, and she thanked him politely. Tang Yi,"Why are you putting your clothes on me?" I think… Shen Yicheng said,"Miss Tang, you're mistaken. This dress belongs to the old butler." Tang Yi was speechless. Shen Yicheng: " Don't dirty it. You'll have to return it later. But it's fine if you dirty it. Wash your hands clean and return it to the old butler." In a fit of anger, she threw the clothes into the river. That night, Shen Yicheng acted up again and asked the butler to put the clothes into his bedroom. * After the misunderstanding was resolved, he was like a dog skin plaster, thoroughly and vividly explaining the words "living a life worse than death". "Baby, baby." "Baby, hug me, kiss me, touch me." " Baby, I love you. I love you so much." "Baby, if you leave me again, I'll, I'll commit suicide!"
