cisco_zhou
Su Qingyuan thought she had lost everything—her parents' tragic "accident," her company stolen from under her, and finally, her life drowned in icy river waters by the two people she trusted most: her fiancé Lin Haoyu and her stepsister Su Manni. But fate grants her a second chance. She wakes up three months before the tragedy, her memories intact and her heart hardened by betrayal. Armed with foreknowledge of every conspiracy against her family, Su Qingyuan transforms from a naive heiress into a calculating strategist. Her first move? Securing an alliance with the most powerful man in the business world—Gu Tingshen. Their meeting is no coincidence. She offers him a deal: a two-year contract marriage to solve his family pressure, in exchange for his protection and resources to save her crumbling empire. He accepts, intrigued by her uncanny understanding of his situation and the mystery that shrouds her desperate eyes. What begins as a cold arrangement of separate rooms and strategic public displays slowly unravels into something far more dangerous. When Su Manni publicly humiliates her at a gala, Gu Tingshen's protective instincts surge beyond the contract's boundaries. When he finds himself standing outside her bedroom door at 2 AM, watching her sleep, he begins to question everything. Su Qingyuan fights to rewrite her family's fate while guarding a secret no one can know. Gu Tingshen battles his growing obsession with the woman who seems to fear the future itself. Bound by ink and suspicion, they circle each other in a dance of power and temptation—neither willing to admit that their contract has become a cage they no longer want to escape. A story of revenge, redemption, and the thin line between pretense and passion.

OMEGA'S WOVEN SCARS

His neck burns. The spot where his mating mark should be burns the closer Travis got. He is shaking, aching all over, and he knows Travis’ touch would soothe him. But he is hurt and bleeding. He doesn’t want to repeat his life all over again with the alpha. Not when it led him to lose everything. And everything was him, Travis. Someone who once awakened him has done it again. His fated mate. Things have changed. He is a different person now. But his stupid omega is making a fool out of him by reacting in all the worst ways. “Don’t,” Day holds his hand out, heart racing. He doesn’t know why this was happening. His body and mind are clashing again, like they always do whenever they do this. “I am not some weak omega who is going to present to you simply because you were once mated to me. I am not going to submit to you. You are not my alpha.” Gods, how he wishes he could give in just this once. He can already feel the slick trickling down his thighs. Soiling his jeans. And going by the way Travis’ pheromones flare, nose twitching, he knows the alpha can smell he is losing the battle. … Day can find nothing wrong with his life. He is now enrolled in university, a whole new life away from his cage, finally growing up and discovering who he is. Then crosses paths with Travis. The alpha who makes him feel like he is being born and dying all at the same time. A thread is pulled every time he locks eyes with him, talks with him ... feels him near him. Every time his scent wraps his body like the softest cloud. With each tug, the life that has been carefully woven and fed to him starts to fall apart. Day realizes he isn’t who he has been told he is, and he was someone different once. Something else, but it was all taken away. Travis was taken away, too. All the scars unravel themselves on his bones, and he is once again breaking apart.

Reverend Insanity: The Goody Two-Shoes System

Man is the spirit of all things, and gu are the refined fragments of the Great Dao. The ambition which blooms with the spring's morning breeze withers at the call of autumn's night. The accumulation of five hundred years - triumphs and failures - will be naught but ash with dawn's first light. The rising of the sun bathes the mountains in golden flame, but 'tis sunset upon the demon's time. The demonic overlord, Fang Yuan, is cornered by his enemies after word gets out that he refined the Spring Autumn Cicada - a gu worm rumored to be capable of having a chance at sending one back in time but demands a terrifying price in return - the user's entire existence! With no hope of escape, in desperation, Fang Yuan uses the Spring Autumn Cicada which miraculously lives up to its name and sends him back in time. And now, he's back in Gu Yue Village as a fifteen-year-old ready to use his knowledge of the future to conquer the world... but there's something wrong. Something is quite different this time around. What's with this new notification that keeps popping up in his view? It calls itself 'The Goody Two-Shoes System.' It also starts giving him quests to complete. "Help Fang Zheng gain his confidence back!" - get a Green Copper Relic Gu! "Help your friends refine their gu worms!" - have your aptitude raised by 2%! All of these rewards and quests before him, why are they trying to convert this demonic overlord to the path of righteousness? And aren't some of these quests kind of... sus? Why does marrying Bai Ning Bing give him an immortal gu? Whatever, anything for benefits! This is a fanfiction based on Gu Zhen Re's work 'Reverend Insanity' known in Chinese as 蛊真人 or 'Gu Taoist Master'. I don't own the rights to the original work. 'Gu' in the context of this story are mystical insects that have various powers and are the basis of the world's cultivation system.
