An outrageous thesis has just hit the desk of esteemed history professor Jiang Suizhou. Dubiously sourced, it tells the story of the General Huo Wujiu, a man who was captured, incapacitated, and forced to serve as concubine to his enemy’s brother—the cut-sleeve prince. For three grueling years, the general lived as a prisoner until he escaped and sought vengeance against his tormentors.

Convinced the story is pure fiction, Jiang Suizhou brands the thesis a failure, that is, until he wakes up as the cut-sleeve prince himself!

Now, stuck lording over his concubine and prisoner Huo Wujiu, Jiang Suizhou’s only has one option to avoid facing the general’s future wrath: Ally himself with Huo Wujiu. Still, this strategy could backfire if Huo Wujiu were to get the wrong idea about his intentions.

Xiahou Lian, the youngest assassin of the infamous Qiye Garden enclave, has infiltrated the prestigious Xie household on a vague but deadly mission. Posing as a servant under Xie Jinglan, the youngest son of the family, he bides his time, awaiting orders. But as the days pass, an unexpected bond forms between them—mark and assassin alike—throwing a wrench in Xiahou Lian’s plans. The decision he makes will land him in dire straits with the Qiye Garden, while Xie Jinglan walks free.

Two years later, their paths cross again in the Imperial Palace. Forced to walk a perilous tightrope of secrecy, both boys hide dangerous truths from one another. Something is terribly wrong, and they can both feel it. As one of those secrets spirals into mortal danger, an assassin from Qiye Garden—familiar and fearsome—arrives with an ultimatum that threatens to tear their fragile bond apart.

From their days of childhood innocence to their time fighting in war, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce never forgot the promise they made to one another. Yet, as they faced the terror of war both together and alone, there still remained feelings left unsaid between them. But can a promise between children remain strong when those friends face a sudden shift in status and power?

This bittersweet story set in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms era shares the heartwrenching tale of two men and the complexities of their relationship as it transitions from friends to ruler and subordinate.

After a narrow escape from the assassin Helan Jie, Duan Ling and Wu Du race back to Tong Pass to carry out their mission: eliminate the treacherous general Bian Lingbai and take control of the fortress on behalf of Southern Chen’s imperial court. Yet their task takes a perilous turn when enemy forces outside the pass, sensing weakness, seize the chance to launch an all-out attack. Duan Ling must use all his wits and everything he learned from his father to hold Tong Pass against the foreign invaders until help arrives.

At the same time, the closer Duan Ling grows to Wu Du, the harder he finds it to keep his true identity as the crown prince a secret. Duan Ling doesn’t want to lie anymore—but revealing too much now might not only jeopardize their mission, but drag them both into terrible danger.

The sudden death of He Yu’s father comes as a great shock to Xie Qingcheng…but he soon learns that the ramifications go far beyond grief. He Yu is now saddled with the role of chairman of his parents’ pharmaceutical company—and with horrifying new revelations that shake the foundations of his world.

As He Yu is swept up in his family’s connections to the crime boss Duan Wen and his sinister, scientifically-advanced organization, Xie Qingcheng finds himself facing him, for the first time, as an enemy. Is He Yu really cooperating with the organization that killed Xie Qingcheng’s parents? Has he truly been consumed by hatred—or could some vestiges of his feelings for Xie Qingcheng remain?

The university entrance exams are looming on the horizon, and with even his deadbeat biological father now out of the picture, Jiang Cheng knows he has to score exceptionally if he’s going to make a stable future for himself. Luckily, he can count on his boyfriend to support him through the grueling gauntlet of studying and practice exams—he just wishes Gu Fei would study for his own sake, too.

Gu Fei is smarter and more talented than he likes anyone to see, and Jiang Cheng is eager to see him shine… But Gu Fei has his own reasons for hiding, and even the happiness he’s found with Jiang Cheng might not be enough to change his mind.

Wu Xingxue has awakened and realized that he is indeed an archfiend. However, much of his past, like his connection to the mysterious Rex Spiritus or the Arbor Divinus, remains an enigma. Adding to the puzzle is the legendary Tianxiu Immortal, Xiao Fuxuan, who continues to support him. Wu Xingxue’s fragmented memories suggest that Xiao Fuxuan’s helpfullness might stem from a surprisingly simple reason—one that ties them together inexorably.

Determined to uncover the truth, Wu Xingxue travels with his ragtag group to the feared stronghold of fiends: Nightgleam. Once inside, he will surely encounter the archfiend who usurped his position as leader of all fiends.

But when they least expect it, the group is dragged into a vision of the past. And the illusion—if it is an illusion—holds more shocking revelations than any of them could have imagined.

Yancheng Municipal Bureau is called in to handle a school bus hijacking—a bizarre crime, but seemingly an isolated one. Sadly, the police are unable to return one of the bus’s young passengers to her parents. She’s vanished without a trace.

The schoolgirl’s disappearance leads Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran to reexamine a police investigation that took place twenty years earlier. That strange case seems to have haunted almost everyone who lived through it—especially Luo Wenzhou and Tao Ran’s own mentor.

Soon, it’s impossible to overlook the fact that the school bus passenger wasn’t the first young girl to go missing in Yancheng. On the contrary, girls have been vanishing into thin air for twenty years. And the next to go missing is one Tao Ran knows personally.

Dealing with that bus hijacking already forced Luo Wenzhou to enlist Fei Du’s help, and it seems he won’t get a break from the petulant young scion anytime soon. The only way for Tao Ran and Luo Wenzhou to find this girl alive may be to follow Fei Du’s instincts—however strange or disturbing they may be…

In the marquess of Nan’an’s household, Lu Wancheng’s death has left Lin Qingyu a young widow, and he loses no time fleeing his late husband’s hostile family to continue pursuing his dashed dream of becoming a physician. Indeed, the empire of Great Yu has never been as desperate for fine physicians—both the emperor and one of his finest generals are in such ill health as to threaten the country itself.

Lin Qingyu’s medical talents are far from rusty, and soon enough, they ensure that he’s ushered into the imperial palace. There, he waits for someone to utter the secret code Lu Wancheng taught him—the code that begins “If odd, change. If even, remain the same…”

When Lin Qingyu finally hears those words, the speaker isn’t the person he expected—nor are they the only person in the palace interested in Lin Qingyu. The young physician’s beauty and talent have created professional rivals and even more serious threats. The speaker of the secret code may have come too late.

When medical student Song Qingshi dies and wakes up in a historical fantasy novel, he’s tasked with rescuing the tragic protagonist from a life of misery. There’s just one problem—he has no idea who the protagonist is.

Instead of saving the hero, Song Qingshi accidentally rescues Yue Wuhuan, an enslaved man renowned for his striking beauty and trained in the art of seduction. Now determined to help his traumatized new patient heal, Song Qingshi offers everything he can: Medicine, therapy, emotional support, even a shared bed—strictly for his patient’s well-being, of course.

But Yue Wuhuan wants more than healing. He wants revenge. And most of all, he wants Song Qingshi all to himself.

As enemies close in—and even heaven itself turns against them—Song Qingshi isn’t trying to change the story. He’s just trying to save the one person who needs him most.

Sent to suppress a rebellion against the great Chen Empire, the third prince, Jing Shao, rides out once more as marshal of an army a hundred thousand strong. At his side is Mu Hanzhang—his “gentleman wife”—in the guise of a sage strategist.

As corruption and treachery in the imperial court begin to shape the battles ahead, Jing Shao uses the knowledge of his past life to alter the fate that once led to his downfall. Along the way, supported by Mu Hanzhang’s cunning, Jing Shao uses his regression foreknowledge to take advantage of the things that once slipped him by—including the spoils of war, the flames of vengeance, and the arms of his wife.

As conspiracies deepen and long-buried truths come to light, the bond between Jing Shao and Mu Hanzhang grows ever stronger—on the battlefield and within the royal tent.

Jiang Suizhou, a history professor transmigrated into the frail and hated Prince of Jing, has been dealt quite the losing hand. His only bastion of hope? The captured, incapacitated Huo Wujiu, his concubine—and the general whose vengeance will end the Jing dynasty.

But Jiang Suizhou’s not going down with the ship! He joins hands with Huo Wujiu with a promise—protection now for protection in the future—and seeks out a physician to heal Huo Wujiu’s legs. The two men’s bond and trust deepens as they step beyond their mutual obligations to trade blows with Minister Pang, the puppeteer pulling the corrupt court’s strings.

Stained reputations, hidden motivations, and political assassinations abound as Huo Wujiu and Jiang Suizhou fulfill their promise. But is this protection alone enough to keep them both safe…and is it all they seek from one another?

The great battle between worlds is over, but Mo Ran and Chu Wanning’s story continues.

Chu Wanning’s birthday is fast approaching, and Mo Ran is on the hunt for the perfect present. What he doesn’t expect is for his greatest competition to be his other self, Taxian-jun! Once a group of mischievous rice-cake spirits take the battle from mundane to magical, chaos is bound to ensue.

Later, Xue Meng tries out a magical device meant to match cultivators with their true love. But why do so many of his dates seem…strangely familiar? When Xue Meng’s disastrous love life threatens to cause mayhem throughout the cultivation realm, only the Mei twins—and a few old friends—can get him out of his predicament.

Having at last consolidated the six prefectures of Zhongbo under his rule, Shen Zechuan stands between two looming threats: the Biansha Horsemen to the east, and the imperial court of Qudu to the west. Although Qudu remains paralyzed by internal strife, Shen Zechuan knows it’s only a matter of time before the fledgling emperor and her supporter, Xue Xiuzhuo, turn their eyes to him.

To the north, while Hassen continues to hammer Libei’s generals with relentless attacks, Xiao Chiye suspects his real target lies along the vulnerable border of Zhongbo. If he’s right, Shen Zechuan will be cut off and surrounded before reinforcements arrive.

Yet when Hassen’s attack comes, it is with a brutality no one anticipated. Forced to make a desperate stand, Shen Zechuan must hold the walls until Xiao Chiye arrives—or the city falls.

With the elusive sorcerer’s name finally in hand, Xue Xian and Xuanmin should be close to reaching their goal. But something between them has shifted—something neither can ignore. As the final seals on Xuanmin’s mysterious copper coins begin to crack, long-buried memories surface, altering the course of their journey.

Just as Xue Xian starts to think he might want to keep Xuanmin at his side, fate hurls them into a deadly chase through a nightmarish cave crawling with colossal insects. Yet a venomous bite may prove to be the least of their troubles.

As calamity closes in, the question is no longer who stole Xue Xian’s dragon bones—but whether the truth will destroy them both.

As the capital of Chang’an prepares for a grand celebration, An Lushan and his henchmen plot to wreak havoc within the city. In their clutches is Mergen, who has surrendered his heart to the heavenly demon in order to discover his plans. At night, Lu Xu walks in his dreams, the two becoming more deeply entwined than either bargained for.

Li Jinglong believes the exorcists can stop An Lushan—and perhaps even strike down the black jiao Xie Yu, a far greater threat to the Divine Land. But when the mission unravels, Li Jinglong will put everything on the line to protect Hongjun from the demonic forces that would corrupt him—even if it means invoking a power that could spell his own destruction.

As the northern emperor Fu Jian prepares to march on the south with an army of the undead, Chen Xing and his ragtag team of exorcists make one final, desperate attempt to convince him to reconsider. But even if Fu Jian abandons his unwitting alliance with the forces of darkness, that will only delay the plans of the Demon God Chiyou, not bring them to an end—and Chen Xing is no closer to solving the mystery of the Dinghai Pearl and releasing the Spiritual Qi of the Heavens and Earth, without which he knows they have no chance of defeating their ultimate foe. Xiang Shu, meanwhile, makes a drastic decision to solve what to him is the more pressing problem: Chen Xing’s imminent, fated death. Other forces are at work here, though, than the exorcists and their enemies, and when the pivotal moment arrives, nothing goes as either Xiang Shu or Chen Xing could possibly have planned…

After converging in the capital, Xiahou Lian and Shen Jue soon learn that the imperial court is no safer than the roads that brought them there. Power is shifting perilously, secrets are tightening around them, and Xiahou Lian’s attempts to protect himself through deception place him in unexpected danger.

Shaken by the fallout, the two dare to rebuild the bond they once lost. As Xiahou Lian gains a foothold in the Eastern Depot, he and Shen Jue are swept into a storm of treachery and enemies. A once-overlooked pawn has become a deadly adversary, and every step becomes a gamble with their lives.

As peril closes in from all sides, Xiahou Lian and Shen Jue must rely on the fragile trust they’ve only just begun to reclaim—because this time, it may be the only thing that keeps them alive.

Now assisting the Dreambreaker task force, Xie Qingcheng has steeled himself to oppose the man who was once his lover. He has watched the long-missing He Yu triumphantly return as the head of He Pharmaceuticals, but he knows that He Yu is secretly working for the Mandela Syndicate—the shadowy organization whose machinations have underpinned every crisis he and He Yu have faced.

Xie Qingcheng knows his betrayal has broken He Yu, and he’s all too ready to believe He Yu’s love for him is a thing of the past. But when Xie Qingcheng finds himself trapped on the Mandela Syndicate’s hidden island, he has no choice but to put his fate in He Yu’s hands.

Dragged back into the present after a battle in a warped past, Wu Xingxue carries the scars of a timeline that should never have been. Xiao Fuxuan brings the weakened archfiend to Fly-On-By to recover, but the hideaway offers little refuge—especially when Feng Xueli, the new archon of Nightgleam, arrives at the gates ready for a fight. The schemes of a long-hidden enemy are dragging them all into dire conflict.

Amid the turmoil, the truth of Wu Xingxue and Xiao Fuxuan’s shared past finally emerges. They share a bond that transcends good and evil, tested by time and tribulation—and desperately needed now as they face impending doom.

Winter descends upon the Central Plains, and blood stains the snow. Princess Qinghe is slain by the Great Chanyu, igniting the Murong clan’s thirst for vengeance. Amidst the chaos, Xiang Shu and Chen Xing make a desperate escape with the help of Tuoba Yan, while Fu Jian demands justice—accusing Feng Qianjun of the princess’s murder.

But just as the blade is about to fall, Feng Qianyi appears—with the stolen Yin Yang Mirror in hand—and unleashes a nightmare upon the capital. The dead rise by the thousands, the living turn against each other, drowning the city in horror.

Now, Chen Xing, Xiang Shu, Feng Qianjun, and Tuoba Yan must unite against an army of the undead and the dark sorcery that controls them. Bound by fate and battling for humanity’s last light, they awaken a mysterious power within Xiang Shu—one that could tip the balance between salvation and oblivion.

Fresh from the imperial examinations, Duan Ling volunteers to journey to the northern city of Ye, where the empire’s border is under threat of a Mongol invasion. Accompanying him is Wu Du, tasked with rebuilding the city’s ragtag garrison into a force capable of holding Ye through the winter. When Duan Ling arrives, however, he discovers that the Mongol army is led by none other than his childhood friend, Borjigin Batu. The grown-up Batu is nothing like the boy Duan Ling remembers—and now, to prove himself to his own people, Batu must capture the very city Duan Ling has sworn to defend.

While Duan Ling and Wu Du brace for Batu’s attack, back in the capital, suspicions mount around the false crown prince. As the empire’s most feared assassins vanish from the capital one after another, more than one person begins to wonder: What deadly secret could draw all Four Great Assassins to the north?

When a powerful business magnate dies in a mysterious car crash, the stability of his empire collapses overnight. Days later, his eldest son is kidnapped, forcing Luo Wenzhou and his team into a treacherous investigation where every lead is undermined by the tycoon’s colleagues—and even by his own surviving children.

Fei Du is crucial to the investigation, particularly because he is close friends with another of the businessman’s sons. Luo Wenzhou may still be guessing at Fei Du’s true motivations, but he has no choice: he must work with him on this confounding case—and the partnership may drive him closer to Fei Du than ever before.

SOME MISTAKES ARE DESTINY

After a dramatic confrontation with An Long, Song Qingshi and Yue Wuhuan finally begin to speak openly about their feelings. Their relationship deepens—an oasis of tenderness in a world that has offered them little peace.

But shadows remain. Even with treatment, Yue Wuhuan’s illness still festers, and Song Qingshi faces his own sickness: the slow collapse of his cultivation. Worse yet, the system—the mysterious voice that first bound him to this story—is far from satisfied with his failure to save the “right” person.

As the truth behind Song Qingshi’s biggest mistake unravels, so does reality itself. Perhaps he and Yue Wuhuan are nothing more than puppets of fate, destined to be twisted and broken by the heavens. Is anything in the world strong enough to break that cycle?

There was once a highly respected cultivation sect known as the Panguan School of Cultivation. Panguans, or Judges, helped ferry souls to the underworld and was founded by an illustrious and honorable man held in high regard.
