Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Qiao Nan: Crap! I am your biological daughter, yet I am treated as if I was picked up from the streets. In fact, you treat me worse than that! Mother Qiao: Qiao Nan, you are not as pretty or smart as your elder sister. You are not as blessed as her. You have no right to study, marry, or to have your happiness! Qiao Nan: Why am I not allowed to study, marry, or to seek my happiness? I will find a man right now and marry him! Qiao Nan is dumbstruck upon discovering that the man right beside her is a powerful figure in the quad—the person who has the most promising prospects to be the future Chief.

Good Evening, Mr President!

In the eyes of Chi Zuxu, Chi Yi is a typical delinquent with the three big ‘NOs’— no morals, no virtues, no principles. To her, though, he is a classic baddie who is heartless, soulless, and inhuman. After the girl breaks and climbs through his glass window on the second story, she peeps at him with an innocent demeanor. “Chi Zuxu, lend me the other half of your bed!” she wolf-whistles at him blatantly. The man admonishes with a scowl, “Chi Yi, aren’t you shameless!” Inside the cinema, as Chi Yi’s little hands restlessly grope the man’s body without chagrin, she tells him smilingly, “Chi Zuxu, I want to do bad things with you!” Holding a look of woeful disgrace, he knocks her head. “Chi Yi, aren’t you embarrassed!” It is a lovely love story between a barefaced and a reticent. But, Mr Reticient, please don’t cry when Miss Barefaced finally slips away.

This is Fallout fan fiction. Straight rips off the monsters, the specific retro future setting, vaults and their experiments, and the Institute directly from the games. Really wish the author had more a more original story.

An incredible game development and urban business transmigration story. Watching Takayuki reincarnate into 1991 Japan where the gaming industry is stuck in an early era and use modern knowledge to revolutionize video games makes for such a captivating dynamic. The nostalgic retro vibes, corporate rivalries, and steady progression of creating iconic gaming titles keep the story engaging from start to finish. I am a professional visual artist and visualizing Takayuki's character design, classic 90s Japanese street aesthetics, and retro game concept artwork gave me so many creative ideas. If you ever want custom character illustrations, webtoons, comics, mangas or cover designs etc for your stories, check out my bio and feel free to get in touch. I would love to work together.

Taoist priest, times have changed

A piece of treasure coin brought Yun Song to a great era that was surging with wind and surging clouds. Here, there were foreigners with strong ships and cannons, warlords and factions everywhere, rich people living in luxury, and people displaced. Here, there were also monsters, evil spirits, python immortals, dragon corpses, living tombs, dead jade, paper figurines stealing lives, stone Buddhas buying luck, old cats worshiping the moon at night, wild foxes stealing coffins, ancient towns sending messengers of death every day, old villages in the old capital, ten miles of foreign fields filled with haunted houses, white bone temples hidden in thousands of people's pits, and thousand-year-old demons appearing frequently in nameless cities. Here, there were two sides to the treasure money. The money was used by humans, and the money was used by ghosts. The Cloud Pine had two sides. It was a Taoist priest in Taoist robes, a lonely soul, a ghost, a zombie, an evil Buddha, and a wild city god… PS： This book is also known as " I thought I was a Taoist priest, but I turned out to be a ghost?" " You thought I was a ghost, but I'm a bunch of ghosts!"

The naming of the night

In the blue and purple neon lights, under the dense steel dome, at the front of the flood of data was the world after the technological revolution, and also the boundary between reality and illusion. Steel and body, past and future. Here, the surface world and the inner world coexisted. Everything in front of him was like a wall of time. Darkness gradually enveloped the area. But you must understand, my friend, that we cannot use gentleness to deal with the darkness. We must use fire.
