Due to his foster guardians' plot, Xie Yi grows up never noticing he was the leader of a Demon Sect terrifying the country. Missing any... more>> sort of common knowledge other than cultivation, Xie Yi listens to their words without question. The only thing they can't control is who he takes an interest in.

Finally, his path ends with his sect offering him the dead body of his beloved.
Terrified and finally understanding everything, Xie Yi commits suicide - and wakes up hundreds of years in the past.
This time, he won't become the leader of the Demonic Sect. He will... become the Virtuous leader's disciple! Yep! <<less

I'm normal, very much so, with a normal family and normal friends-
Okay, maybe I'm gay, but that's still normal, even if people don't accept it fully yet and-
Ah? What?
A gaming system? You mean, like, a dating sim?
No no no. That's ridiculous. I'm probably sick or something. That kind of thing can't possibly...
But, I mean, using it to get along a bit better with my crush should be fine, right...?

Riku wakes up to having a system that interferes with his life - a dating sim system.
While highly doubting his sanity, Riku soon notices that the weird thing does have its advantages... For example, giving him dialogue choices when... more>> trying to talk with his crush.

Wen Zhihao is tired of life. When he dies...meh. That’s life.... more>>

But when he gets transmigrated into the body of a young cultivator of the prestigious Golden Sun sect, full of possibilities...no thanks! He has no effort/energy to work hard on cultivation! He just wants to be a salted fish!

...it turns out sleeping = meditation and absently watching beautiful scenery = meditation.

And meditation = cultivation...

This is not the Dao of Indifference. This is the Dao of the Salted Fish!! With calm emotions, Wen Zhihao accidentally cultivates strongly!

...but he’s still a salted fish, bah. Don't make him fight!

Feng Qinghe, a renowned disciple of the prestigious Heavenly Peak Sect, is used to bearing his burdens alone and throwing himself into danger for others’ benefit. While exploring a hidden realm, his unique way of doing things garners the interest of Wei Xiang, a feared senior officer from the cultivation world’s judicial force, who starts to observe him from the shadows. But the inexplicably astute Feng Qinghe is not an easy person to deal with, while Wei Xiang is found intriguing by the disciple in turn.... more>>

After the two become lovers, they aid friends, take on new adventures, and help each other heal from old wounds, all the while growing ever closer to uncovering Feng Qinghe‘s unknown past and the significance of a heavenly soul.
____________

A glimpse into their day-to-day life–

Qinghe, when he is in mortal danger: Oh dear. *sighs* I hope I won’t lose my right arm this time or I can’t help Master with paperwork later.

Qinghe, when his friends are in the slightest trouble: *rushing onward with cold determination* Who has the time to worry about injuries when my friends need me!

Wei Xiang: *lifting him up by the waist* Not so fast, love. Your friends can handle themselves and they have their own powerful lovers to help. They can afford to spare mine when he’s recuperating.

Qinghe: *dangling limply in his hold and blinking entreatingly* But Xiaaang…

Wei Xiang softens and puts Qinghe down, then kisses him on the forehead.

Wei Xiang: How about this? If you agree to rest, I’ll let you have one session with me afterwards.

Qinghe: *perking up* Do you mean a sparring session? Or…

Wei Xiang: *charmed by his enthusiasm* Whichever my darling little lover wants.

Qinghe: *smiling hopefully* Both?

Wei Xiang: *chuckling* Then let’s spar after you get better and the winner this time gets to choose what we do in bed.

Qinghe thus focuses on recovering with single-minded concentration, and later, Wei Xiang happily sacrifices his body and skills to both their enjoyment.

On the other side–

Wei Xiang: *growling* Senior Brother, I warned you that the next time you leave such a big pile of work for me to finish, I’ll make you pay for it in the training arena. *drags him off to spar*

His Senior Brother: *leaving a trail of nail marks on the floor* Junior Brother, mercy! Nooo!!!

The Other Officers: *turning to Qinghe hopefully* Um…aren’t you going to do something about your lover?

Qinghe: Ah? Oh! *takes out a large banner and starts waving it enthusiastically* Xiang, you can do it! My lover is the most handsome! My Xiang is undefeatable!

Wei Xiang pauses terrorizing his senior brother in the guise of training and blows his beloved a kiss.

Everyone: ……

They should’ve known that someone their Senior Officer Wei chose wouldn’t be normal! <<less

If ordered, he will have no choice but to take the young master of the Ming household as his mate.... more>>

Returning with accolades after securing victory for his empire, Great General Ning Wei is faced with the arduous task of dealing with the imperial court and its petty schemes. As frustration over his situation mounts, the prestigious Yan household offers an unexpectedly favorable alliance.... more>>

Ning Wei finds himself intrigued by the young head of his newly-allied household, Yan Yixuan. But Yan Yixuan’s words seem to have hidden meanings and his behavior with Ning Wei too indulgent for an ally. After schemes are concocted and hurdles passed, will the great general finally find the answers he seeks from the one who waylaid him?
____________

While establishing the pact between their households—

Yan Yixuan: I will protect and support your household for you. Any injustice done unto you will be as if done unto me, and any favors you owe will now be mine to repay. Do you agree that you will show me the same regard?

Ning Wei: ……

Why does it sound like a marriage vow?! No, he's thinking too much.

Ning Wei: Yes, I agree.

Yan Yixuan smiles brilliantly as if having obtained something priceless.

Ning Wei, inwardly: Why do I feel like I just signed over my soul? I must be imagining things again…

Yan Yixuan, inwardly: I can finally be close to my Ah-Ning! Let’s see who will dare to bully him now.

The other court officials: We don’t dare, we don’t dare!

Soon, the entire capital is flooded with the news of their flamboyant courting (the oblivious Ning Wei: Our flamboyant what?!) and then blinded with their shameless displays of affection (the smitten Ning Wei: I’ve been corrupted by a certain irresistible little fox).

The bullied officials: If that demon of a duke told us his intentions earlier, would we have offended the general?! Great General, forgive our insolence!

Ning Wei, looks at his lover: Did you do something for me behind my back again?

Yan Yixuan: *smiles innocently*

Ning Wei, chuckles and rubs his head affectionately: Cheeky little fox. <<less

The "Farin" are those that bring the sacrifice.
The "Alvarr" are those that take it.
Deep into the mountain carriers walk, blindfolded, carrying fruits and... more>> meat.
For a "Farin", seeing their Gods would be blasphemy. Don't make a sound, don't look, don't react. Set down the sacrifice and leave.
When the young "Farin" is attacked by a wild animal during the process, his blindfold loosens - and he stares right into an "Alvarr's" golden eyes. Little did he know that the so-called gods didn't care about their regular visitors and weird fruit, and especially not about being seen.
Curious about the human's reaction, Alvarr sticks around.
And, well, since there is no use crying over spilled milk, Farin just decides to enjoy the mysterious being's company.
Between not even sharing a language and vastly different customs, two people end up getting along much better than expected. <<less

My name is Zhao Lingfeng. I have a classmate named Dong HeFeng. He’s tall, handsome, friendly, smart, and sociable–everything about him is good, except for one thing: he wants to kill me. ... more>>

How do I know? Well, I’ve known him since middle school and we were never close. If I saw him in the hall, I would only take an extra glance. Perhaps we would even nod to one another as a way to say “hello.” But all of a sudden, in the middle of our first year of secondary school, he started sticking to me! Every day, every class, and sometimes, even every minute! If it were only this, I would just assume he really wants to be friends; but what really convinced me of his intent to murder me was the way he would stare and observe me for long moments at a time. Tell me, if he’s not trying to kill me, then what exactly is he trying to do?!

Therefore, I must never let my guard around HeFeng. Who knows what he’ll do if I’m not careful. HeFeng, just you wait. I’ll force out your true intentions soon! <<less

Be The Father Of This Child!
Jett Huntsman has his business straight, which is to scare schmucks into paying back what’s due. And yeah, he’s... more>> making shit tons of money while at it. Mostly because he’s good at it. Not that he brags.
What he’s not good at, though, is how to deal with seeing a crying baby left in front of his house with the self-explanatory message: “Assume responsibility, asshole!”
Jett has no time to think things through. He has schmucks to shake for money. So his kid, if that’s his kid, will have to come with him.
The guy he’s supposed to scare enough to pay his debts is a total dweeb with a weird hippy name. This April Summer dude should know better than to piss off the wrong people. While he babbles about not having the money, he says the magic word - babies!
Does this dweeb really know the first thing about kids? Jett doesn’t have time to think. April the Fool will take care of that crying baby if he knows what’s good for him. Especially since April seems weirdly familiar.
