"I FOUND YOU!" How dare you try to hide from your Mother!" She slapped him again. "Did you think I wouldn't know what you were up to? You've been hiding away from me with your little club activities. You cheeky monkey."  
  
He fell to the floor with the last hit. She then grabbed the hair on his head, pulled his torso up and smacked him hard. He fell back down again. She repeated the process, putting her whole body into the slap. When she got tired, she nearly tripped after swinging at him, but staggering bled the momentum, regaining her balance. He closed off his body in a fetal position, making it hard to pull him up. She stood up and walked away.  
 
Daichi Atsuo wasn't born out of love. His father was a rising romance novelist named Kuniyuki Atsuo (Kuni, his friends called him). Before then he was just a nobody at school. He was a classic virgin. He never had real friends in school or a girlfriend. It's not that he didn't try, but none of the schoolgirls had enough interest to give him a chance. The same thing happened in college.   
  
He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts with a major in creative writing. When deciding what kind of fiction novel to write, Kuni felt drawn to romance despite lacking experience. All the romantic moments he wished for stirred his creativity. His writing hand moved with the flair of a professional writer. He printed his heart in ink.   
  
Unexpectedly, the readers loved it and were dying for more. His soul was finally soothed.   
  
After his second book, many fans reached out. A few he met up. They would talk about their admiration and their thoughts on his work. A nice genuine chat over coffee in a beautiful and cosy café. At this point, Kuni felt content with his social life.    
  
As if things couldn't get better, some of his female fans asked him out. Many were just a once-off romantic date and some ended in a kiss. A few were one-night stands. He was happy.  
  
One day he got intimate with Eriko who was a hardcore fan. They got along well. They talked a lot about his novels and future works. She was equally as interested in them as him. Things went so well that she moved in with him to a new house.   
  
They had more fights when they moved in together. Often, she wasn't happy when he took a break from his work and hanged out with others. He thought it was normal that she'd be jealous and insecure. She was just an ordinary and average looking person after all, and he was a prolific writer with a great deal of passive income.   
  
She got mad when she looked through his phone. He wasn't allowed to meet up with his female fans. He agreed to it.   
  
Soon after they married, Kuni felt a drop in the quality of his novels. It wasn't a big amount, but it was significant to make him think that he should move on to a different genre. Perhaps having a good life now, he no longer thought much of romance.   
  
When his wife found out, they had the biggest fight of their life. She wanted him to continue his novel. He asked if she would want the series to die out as the quality dropped. She told him to try harder and use their relationship for inspiration. If he didn't, he simply didn't love her enough. He argued that it was his life's decision and his work never belonged to her. He was about to break it off with her until she revealed to him that she was pregnant.   
  
For the sake of their newborn, he continued the story to end the fights and raise enough for his son to have a good life. 5 Years later. Critics and women's magazines criticized him for the declining quality of each new title. Kuni could no longer hold off the pain in his chest. One night, he told his wife that he could no longer continue writing those novels.   
  
  
  
***  
  
  
  
"Where are you going!" Eriko shouted at his back.  
  
"I told you. I'm not dealing with this anymore and I'll be taking our son with me." Kuni replied as he walked away. Kuni had just enough of her oily knotted hair, her dark circles, her frantic mumblings in bed when he's sleeping and not working. He had enough of this woman's insanity.   
  
She was always chewing off her fingernails while watching his work from over his shoulder. He would even get eyed at when he took her to the doctors. The patients and doctor would think that her ripped off fingernails were a sign of abuse. He can finally be rid of it all.   
  
'I'll take my son away from this as well.' he thought. In the five years of writing under pressure, he never got much time to spend with his son despite being home.   
  
 He remembered Daichi would ask him to play but his wife would tell him that Daddy was too busy to play. Another time, Daichi would come over with a toy. Kuni played a bit but when he saw his wife's haggard appearance peeking from the door frame, shock came to his eyes. A bandage had unfastened on her fingertips. There was a nail growing halfway of her fingertip. She bit onto the growing nail and tore it off. Seeing the fresh blood trickle from her middle finger. He told his kid to play by himself. He felt sorry for the kid.  
  
'She kept us separate...'  
  
He couldn't leave his child to this maniac. Once he takes Daichi out of here, maybe he can spend time with him. Have a father to son bond...  
  
That thought made him smile in the long 5 years.  
  
  
  
!!!  
  
  
  
A sharp inhale had caught in Eriko's throat. She needed the novels. What Kuni said had broken her heart. She had heard that he will give up writing the novels. When he turned his back on her, it was like the umbilical cord had been ripped out of her. Her life is being threatened! 
She screamed and lunged at him. Her screams were so shrill and deafening that he was confused and did not hear the footsteps rushed at him. Pushed from behind, he collided with the stair railing and fell over. 
 
Thack! 
 
Through a peek in the door, Daichi had seen a body fall from the top of his vision. Eriko's silhouette stood beside his father. She turned her head from Kuni and saw him.
 
"You're supposed to be in bed." She smiled. She walked towards him laughing hysterically. The house echoed in laughter that night.

Selena woke up from her sleep, a male scent wafted from her nose. She was surprised when saw his hand being held by someone. She glared when saw Alvi had turned into human form again and fell asleep next to her. Selena's face immediately turned ruby ​​red. "A-alvi! Why you!"

A shirtless Alvi looks very seductive, Selena feels so embarrassed that she keeps holding her blushing face. Alvi woke up for a while and then pulled Selena's hand, they almost hugged each other on the bed. Selena quickly moved away five meters afterward, as if she were avoiding a ghost.

"Alvi, are you crazy huh ?! I'm your sister!" Selena said, still covering her red face.

"Looks like my strength has returned, my body has also returned to normal." Alvi said, muttering a little, he immediately got up with a sitting position.
Selena tosses Alvi with the pillow "Just go!"

###

Edward's tools were officially destroyed last night, as a result the power of the animals that were trapped in the tools returned to their owners. Selena is relieved, the next day she can see Alena, Nicole and Clara in her class. "Selena yesterday you really cool!" Clara hugged Selena so tightly that it was difficult to breathe. "Hehe yeah, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I really hate it when I turn into a mouse you know."
"Hehehe, I see."
"Oh yeah, why have you been avoiding Alvi? Are you quarrel with him?"
"E, not really. There was just a little mistake this morning." Selena's face turned red again when she look Alvi.

Alena and Nicole passed each other and blushed each other's faces. Still remembering the incident this morning when they held hands while sleeping. They accidentally like that because maybe their position is sitting side by side when sleep. As a result they became embarrassed afterwards.

Selena caught these two people who felt awkward with each other, she smelled the scent of love there.
Some people murmured behind them.

"I didn't expect them to be victims."

"Yes yes, what happened to the scientist?"

"He was given life in prison by the magic security."

"It's worth what he did."

The voices of the co-students gossiping about yesterday's incident. Not only in class, but in the school canteen too. The teachers are also busy talking about this.

"I never knew this would happen, we as teachers or their parents should think more about school safety for the students."

"I think security needs to be improved."

"Poor students who are victims, they must be traumatized by this incident."

"The counseling teacher has consulted with the students concerned, they still look normal and there are no signs of stress due to the incident."

"In that case, thank Godness."

"Its lucky there is Henry, otherwise it will be bad."

"Yes."

Henry just came out of the principal's office. He was widely gossiped by the teachers who saw him.

"Henry, what did the principal say?" Ask Mr Leo.

"Security that must be increased and kinds."

"Then what again?"

"Appreciation."

"Waah great, I'm very jealous of you henry"
Henry smiled briefly then cleared his desk, he brought a book and came out of the staff room. He had to go or they will asked all sorts of thing unto colors of his underwear. Oh no, it doesn't seem gonna be that far.


###

Selena continues to be noticed by Alvi throughout the meal in the canteen. "What's the matter? Is there something stuck to my face?" Selena asked. Alvi, who was opposite sitting in front of him ask. "What was the reason you helped yesterday because it was already in that novel?"

"Eh? Of course! Fortunately I still know where the secret door button is located."

"At first I wasn't sure but if it's just a guess it's clearly impossible. I finally realized what you talked about was always right. So what's your plan?"

"Eh? I want ... Nicole to fall in love with me."

Alvi looked silent for a moment, as if there was something he was holding back. Feelings that could not possibly be vented in front of this person. "Can't you .."

"Oh yes Alvi, what if you make Alena fall in love with you?"

"Eh?"

"It seems interesting, I'll make Nicole fall in love with me and you make Alena fall in love with you. How?"
Alvi gloomily paused and started talking "If that's what you want."

"Waah, thanks, I hope everything goes well."

Alvi doesn't want this, he secretly buries something complicated inside.

"Oh yes, sister will share the right tips for you, the gaze is important. When you want that person to like you, look at her warmly and give long stare , then say she's pretty. Its sure after that she will begin to respect you. Then approach her slowly by praising her. and make her never stop talking to you. Like someone who needs you as a person to talk to, try that way. "

"..."

In the library, Alena was about to return the book she borrowed to the shelf. Selena pushed Alvi until the man stood in front of Alena. The girl realized it "Uh you."

"You are also diligent in reading books." Said Alvi.

"Ah no, it's not much. There are even piles of books that I have to read in order to defend my scholarship."

"Do you like reading novels?"

"I really like it, especially with the title Fireflies by Ellenhart."

"I'm his fan too."

"Really? Wow, this is amazing. It's rare for a man to read shoujo books."

"It's because my sister also likes fireflies novels, I followed her."

"What do you mean that Selena?"

"Yes."

"Waa its great. I found two fans of Ellenhart novels at the same time at this school."

"Oh yeah, what the ending story is like, I haven't read it thoroughly."

"Haha I'll be a spoiler then."

"Uh, yeah kinda."

"Just kidding, so Arkan will meet Kania again. The scene is so romantic, they stand on a bridge and stare at each other and then see the starry night sky."

"So full of romantic scenes huh."

"That's right, then there was a battle scene between Arkan and Claude too."

"I see. Who won?"

"Arkan for sure. That's why hurry up and read it, the point is really exciting."
Alvi suddenly remembered Selena's words "Approach her slowly by praising her."

Alvi touched Alena's chin and rubbed her "You're cute." Alvi said with a smile

Alena was surprised to see that handsome man in front of her doing such a thing. She immediately flushed her face pomegranate and immediately avoided Alvi. "W-what are you doing!"

"Nothing at all, I'm just praising you." Alvi said smiling

Suddenly she had trapped in the novel world and even become the antagonist character. Its more getting complicated when she meet her law brother who will be the heroes for main female lead.

Lying on the bed on his stomach, Adam hummed a small tune as he wrote the words for a new song. High on happiness, Adam had been on a roll since this morning and writing all songs he could about love and euphoria! Just then he felt a heavy weight on his back and the next moment, a few hair fell near his face. Alice nuzzled her nose into the back of his neck making him feel a little ticklish. Making his face fall forward, he let her breathe in and smiled happily. Placing her cheek in the middle of his back, Alice glided her toes over his bare calves, smiling a bit as he tried to move away without throwing her off. Finally, his foot caught her errant foot and hooking his foot behind Alice he rolled over taking her beneath him.  
The next moment, it was his toes that were gliding up and down over her calves, tickling her as she protested over this. Finally after fooling around for a bit, Alice looked up at Adam and asked, "What are you doing?"
Rubbing his nose against hers, he said, "I was writing some songs. But you are up to something naughty, Miss Alice."
Biting her lower lip, Alice grinned a bit and said " I have a list."
"A list?"
" Shopping list?"
"No! Guess!"
"Mmm, I pass!"
"Adam Perry! How can I have such a boring husband!"
Before she had even completed her teasing sentence, Adam caught her lips in a kiss and then nipped her just a bit on the lower lip, adding a bit of pain to the pleasure. "It is your fault. Your little white teeth are biting like this and distracting him. So tell me, what are you thinking in the list?"
"I have a list from all the novels that I have read! You know how I used to love reading those novels. right? So, as I read them I thought.."
"You are planning to write a new novel yourself?"
" No! Silly! First get off me! Are you not tired?"
"No, I am not! I like leaning over you like this!"
"Really, then can you do pushups like this? With me under you?"
The next moment, a big grin graced his face as he slowly moved over, pulling her along. Soon, Alice was on the ground and above her was Adam, preparing to show off some of his witness.
After about ten pushups, he finally did what Alice had wanted and kissed her on the lips," So, Mrs. Alice Perry, you are a little romantic nerd."
A kiss.
"Your list includes"
A kiss.
"All those cheesy things"
A kiss.
"that those leads do in the"
A kiss.
"novels."
A kiss.
"Am I right, Mrs. Perry?"
A kiss.
A blush gracing her face, she nodded and then raising her neck a bit kissed him the same way.
"You are absolutely right, husband mine."
The husband word from Alice made him smile widely and he continued to do a few push ups, kissing her every time he went down, teasing them both, until he finally fell sideways and pulled her into his arms.
"What else is included in your naughty list madam?"
Snuggling even closer, Alice looked at Adam with shiny eyes and started counting, "We need to go to the amusement park and sit on dangerous rides together!"
"We need to share an ice cream."
"We need to look at the moonlight and stars at a camping ground."  
"We need to hold hands and walk along the shore."
"We need to cook something together and fail miserably at it."
"You need to sing me a song but since it is your profession, I will settle for reading me a few stories!"
"We need to snuggle under a blanket and roast marshmallows."
"We need to.."
But her list was interrupted by Adam who stole the words from her with a kiss.  
"Did you read romance novels or children fairytales. Mrs. Perry, let me tell you something that romantic novels should have. "
"According to the novels, we should be making love everywhere. We should make love under the stars and the sky. We should be making love while working out. We should be making love on the beach. We should be making love when we are on the Ferris wheel. We should be making love by the pool side. In the pool. That is what romance novels are all about."
For this cheekiness, Adam received a love bite as punishment as her small teeth closed near the crook of his neck and bit down in protest," That is not romance! That is smut."
"Hmm, I don't think so. Let me do more research on this since I do not like reading much. But you remember the romance novel that you had me read last night? Do you agree that was a romance novel?"
A slight nod.
"Good. Then let me show you how the male lead wooed his partner in the novel. I am pretty sure I remember it word for word. First he took off her lcotheds, kissing every inch of the skin he exposed. And then the small triangles that covered her breasts were next to fall on the ground before his mouth slowly slipped over her stomach towards the area that was forbidden."
Scandalized, Alice tried to stop Adam from following his words and protested, "Adam! That was not there in the book!"
"Of course it was there. You can check page 182 later and you will know. Now, let me give you the demonstration. Your list has inspired me to a great extent and I have decided that since I follow the instruction of this book ,I will definitely read more such romance novels. After all how can I not support my wife whole heartedly? Now let's stop talking and begin the demonstration..."
And soon, Adam did just that as he showed the power of actions over words. A long while later, he then started to fulfilling Alice's wish list and the couple ended up sharing a double scoop of ice cream, which also ended up melting on Alice as Adam was obsessed with making everything as smutty as he could. Finally he decided he really really liked messy.. Messy Alice with her half closed eyes, swollen lips and her hair spread out on a pillow, was the best.."
This was their honeymoon period and even if they were unable to go away, they were able to cut themselves from the outside world and stay safe in their own haven.
But this period was not to last too long and was just the calm before the storm. On the second day of their self isolation, Alice heard her phone and answered the unknown number cautiously, "Hello?"
"Alice? This is Kieran?"
Alice smiled a bit at hearing his voice which caused the man who was sitting behind her to pout and sulk as he heard the other man.
"I have a good news and a bad news. What do you want to hear first?"
"Mmm.. the good news."
"The good news is that Samual Faye has finally fallen into out clutches. His was arrested this evening."
A triumphant smile graced her face as she heard this and she turned her shiny eyes to Adam who hugged her hard, sharing in her happiness, He had actually wanted to beat that man to a pulp but had refrained because of Alice. And now that he would be behind bars, the man was going to have a brawl in the prison. It was no big deal. But then Alice remembered that there was a bad news also and she asked cautiously," Kieran? What is the bad news?"
"The bad news is that Samual Faye has refused to confess while James Faye has said that he had committed all the crimes in the name of Samual Faye. We will be bringing him in for questioning and if he is able to answer all the questions regarding this then there is a chance that Samual may come out of it with a hefty penalty only. I am going to try my best to have him fall but I just thought that you should know. He has wiggle room. However we are going to do our best to keep him caught."
Nodding and already thinking of a way to push Samual into the net, even more further, Alice thought even more and finally thanked," Thank you for the warning Kieran. I owe you one for this."
The other man laughed at this and refuted, "You owe me nothing, little Al! You can thank me with a simple meal next time."
"A simple meal? I can promise you that!"
After the call was disconnected, Alice finally breathed deeply and looked at Adam as if asking for reaffirmation, " Will everything be alright, Adam? I never once expected for James Faye to be able to be so big hearted and take the blame. That man is as selfish as Samual. How did he get those fatherly feelings for Samual?"  


Alice Faye has grown up seeing her parent's farce of a marriage and does not believe in fate or even love.

Soojin didn't say anything more. She left for park Jae In house.

Kim hae jin also excused himself. He went up and wake little bun.

"Little bun! Wake up and we are going to city A." little bun slowly open his eyes. He look at his father with twinkle eyes.

"Where is mother? She isn't coming with us?"

"No" Kim hae jin helped his son to change dress.They went downstairs.

"You're leaving?" Grandfather yong said in low voice.

"Yes Grandfather yong." Little bun freed his hand from father and run toward the grandfather yong.

"Great Grandfather, I don't want to go. I can stay here with mom." Little bin said cutely. Little bun was packed of cuteness but when he want something than cuteness overflow.

"No, you can't disturb other. Mother will join after some time." Kim hae jin coldly roared.

Little bun didn't break eye contact with Grandfather yong. His eyes were sparking like star.

 "Let him stay. He can join you with soojin later."Grandfather yong said Kim hae jin. 

Kim hae jin couldn't object elder order. He bid farewell to yong and his brat son. 

~park Jae In house~

Park Jae In was waiting outside. They greet each other and went inside.

" Now tell me what happened and what you want me do."

Soojin tell her all information and tell her that she didn't want to be in this relationship but she don't have any other choice. So,  she want her to make contact papers as she want.

"That's why I need you to make paper according to my condition." Soojin cooly said.

"I will tell my assistant to make paper ready but are you sure you want to divorce after a year?" Soojin didn't understand why she was doubting. 

"There is no place of negotiation." Soojin really don't have idea what her lawyer was thinking. 

"What if you fall in love?" Lawyer park slowly said. She made sure that she wasn't angry. 

Soojin silently sneered at her friend. Seriously she read romantic stories all the time. "I know you are influenced by the romantic novel and drama but reality is vast different than your imagination stories. Grow up girl." 

"By the way you are writer who writes things while imaging."Park Jae In pout like pig. 

 Soojin laugh at her friend. Soojin indeed famous for her novel but that doesn't mean she didn't live In reality. 

" uh..... I really like your new novel. When will you publish it's second part."Park Jae In was the fan of soojin novels. She almost read her all the books. 

" Very soon. " They talked nonsense for a while before soojin left for yong villa. 

She didn't want to return but her grandfather asked her to return home.

What does he think of her? A plaything? A toy?

She soojin was the heiress of Yong. Apple of yong's but he made her disheartened, sad and pathetic. She _she loved him more than her own life but he only betrayed her trust, love and care.

His betrayal was last shot she could take so she decided to leave him and his world.

 But will he let her go? Will he let her live peacefully?

P. S- I'm back with new start with old feelings.

Yuan Qianlei only spent two days in Ningfei Town, but all of those two days had seen her plastered to the side of Du Yan. If there was anyone who dared to hint that she was not devoted to the big man, that was clear evidence to the contrary. Not that anyone would be so stupid to say such a thing, with all of the Du household and the Palace Guards that the Yuan Patriarch had borrowed, to keep his grandniece safe from harm.

Even that idiotic Royal Prince would not dare to kick up a fuss with them about. Especially since he was only the Seventeenth Prince, and very, very distant from the rest of the Princes, and their fight to be named their father's successor.

Qin Feng was surprised to learn that it was him though. Of all the nobility that he had met, he had to say that that particular Royal Prince had been the most memorable. He was the only one that Qin Feng had the opportunity to shout at, after all. Although he had been in a different guise at the time. Or rather, wearing his puppet's body.

The Second Ducal Prince, on the other hand, who had protected the Seventeenth Prince, also called the Prince of the Stormy Sea, back in Changqing City, was most apologetic. "Had I known that he would cause such problems now, I should have let Qin Feng's liege-man slap him until he became an idiot, back in the day," he grunted.

Du Yan nodded, while still wearing a glare, but Yuan Qianlei only laughed when she heard that. And dug the whole story out of the Second Ducal Prince. After which, she had clapped her hands like every young maiden would, and praise Qin Feng's man.

"Oh! Too bad he is off doing something. He sounds like one of those powerful characters that I have been reading in those stories. Maybe if he was here, I would feel more like I am the main character in the tale, being fought over by powerful men. Of course, I only have eyes for this one here, at my side."

She added the last bit as she shamelessly hugged Du Yan's arm. Which seemed enough to calm him down somewhat. But it was Qin Feng who caught her reference to the stories. Wasn't that the sort of story that Xu Yanzhi was reading too?

"What sort of tales are these? To have captured your attention so? Are they written by some great author? A famous one?"

Yuan Qianlei giggled. "You can call him famous. Or infamous, if you prefer. He hasn't written any great poetry, or some earth-shaking histories. But his convoluted love stories and bizarre tales are immensely popular. At least among us senseless young girls, as they call us. His characters are all so romantic, you see."

"Oh? In that case, perhaps I should try one or two of his works, to improve my standing among our womenfolk. What is his name? Or should I say, his pen-name?"

Yuan Qianlei giggled again. "Oh, that is easy. He's the Jade-faced, Empty-sleeved Gentleman. He says he's called that because he is so poor, and needs to write those stories to make ends meet," she explained quickly, when she saw how Lin Liushui's face went dark.

But Du Yan only laughed, and pointed a finger at his Brother. "Ha ha ha. Now I know why you hate your nickname! Brother Liushui here has been called the Jade Faced Gentleman, when he was younger, and is famous by that name throughout the Yang Kingdom, to the East."

Yuan Qianlei's eyes went wide as she turned back to Lin Liushui, who quickly raised his hands to salute her. "No, no, no. You mustn't confuse me with that writer of yours. I am certainly not him! I have no skill at all at writing novels, and I certainly do not share his background. Besides, I have been whiling away my time, at the Duchy of the Westlands, so I can hardly have any leisure to write, can I?"

"That is true. And there has been three books released by the Jade-faced, Empty-sleeved Gentleman during this last year. So it cannot be you."

She said that with an almost despondent tone, that hinted at how much she adored the books that had been written by the same. Which prompted Qin Feng to ask if she had any with her. "I would dearly love to have a look at what sort of writing he does, to be able to enthrall so many young women," he told her, "Perhaps I can pick up some lessons from his works, so that I can enjoy such adoration as well."

Yuan Qianlei nodded gleefully, possibly at gaining another fan for her favorite author. But Du Yan looked at him a little strangely. "What is the matter with you, Brother Qin Feng? Are you coming down with something? I have never heard you speak so much, or so gently before. It is as though you're becoming another Lin Liushui."

Qin Feng snorted at that. But the damage was already done. Li Changhai's transformation from a gentleman to a coarse soldier was one thing. They knew that it was only to mask his presence in the group, and to make him seem like less of a threat to all the nobles in the nearby Shu Kingdom Capital. But no one could think of a reason why Qin Feng would do something similar. Albeit in the other direction.

"Oh, wait. It couldn't be, could it?"

Lin Liushui was suddenly animated again, as though he had recovered from hearing that awful nickname of his being bandied about. Perhaps he was glad that someone else had become the focus of the conversation? Or perhaps, he saw an opportunity to poke fun at Qin Feng?

As it turned out, it was both! "That young woman that you fought with, the one who accused you of taking advantage of her? She used a rather familiar tone when she was addressing you, and said a great many things that would have hurt her own reputation, while she was there in the Arena with you.

"Just as you were more eloquent when she was present. Your banter with her was almost like it was written in a book. In fact, it seemed inspired by that particular genre that you were talking about! As though you were inspired!

"Are you certain that you haven't any feelings for her? Is she why you've suddenly developed a taste for romantic novels?"

"What nonsense!"

But it was too late. Yuan Qianlei was already hooked on the idea, and the look on her face made it clear to Qin Feng that he had no escaping from it now!

"In that case, I will pass you my entire collection! So that you can have a wide range of tricks and ideas that you can use on her! I've only got three of them on me now, but when we get back to the Shu Capital, I can pass you everything in my possession. They are all at my house there!" 

But Du Yan disagreed with the move. At least, with where they would be heading, when they left Ningfei Town. Indeed, it was a bit of a surprise, since this was the first time that any of the group had heard him being so firm with Yuan Qianlei.

"No. I don't think we should head there just yet. There is still something that I need to do. So let's head over to Chuanshui Town. I think its also time that I introduce my bride-to-be to my Patriarch."

* * *

Join Qin Feng as he tries to get rich, dealing in the resources that most martial artists require!
Of course, getting his hands on the same is going to be more troublesome than he had expected, when a war, fighting over the succession, too many pretty women and having no time to practice his own martial arts start messing things up for him!

Guys the reviews have been great, but a lot of the complaints I receive centre around slow pace, nothing really happening in the plot. 

(Yun Long is overpowered so unless I do kingdom building that will be the only way I can really make anything happen... but that isn't what he wishes to do...)

I will not say I am the perfect author, I reckon I could have summed a few chapters in a paragraph, but like I said many times, ATG is the home verse, and I will focus only in this world to generate his power, as well as his women, since it is the only world he cannot access his powers.

What I really want to ask is, is it really a filler? Or is it not just chapters to develop the character development, as well as romantic feelings, if I just popped up and introduced a character and Yun Long just ended up sleeping with her, that is lazy writing unless it is a transaction that will often happen in cultivation worlds since that is the norm, but for characters like Qingyue, I wanted to show their relationship really...

I just want to hear your opinion, is it really a filler or character development?

If you do think it is a filler, how would you suggest how I write the story so I can understand the readers viewpoint in a filler... because when I read novels I didn't even know about a 'filler' until my friend told me about it, I just enjoy reading new chapters :/

Ling Yunlong is an apathetic youth who was about to truly enter adulthood and was searching for his future, only for a phenomenon to occur that would forever change his life, and the life of millions of individuals across thousands of universes in the omniverse.

Finding himself in a situation where the common sense of his world could not explain his predicament, Yunlong was driven to madness before the Creator appeared before him, making him the successor of the Void.

Reincarnating into the Against the Gods universe and reborn as Yun Long, he decided to pave his way to the peak of existence in his new life, but it seems that the Creator may have other ideas for Yun Long and his so called traverse to the peak!

How do you attract a girl when you are a girl cross-dressing as a boy?

Nam Ji Yeon has done her homework. She watches a lot of romantic drama. She follows the most popular idols and models and studies their styles. She works out the dialogues and situations. Making a girl fall in love with her wasn't as easy as she thought.

She had planned to steal her ex-boyfriend's clothes. Then, she abandoned that plan. Her ex-boyfriend's clothes won't fit her because he is shorter than her. Stealing is not good anyway. Besides, who would want to wear her ex-boyfriend's stinky clothes? Luckily, her elder brother is away for college. So, she borrows her elder's brothers clothes instead. 

She buys a wig and some makeup items. She spends hours on online videos to learn makeup skills. She needs to look handsome and beautiful at the same time. She must swoon the girls by her looks. She doesn't even realize that she could just swoon the boys too and have revenge in other ways. 

Lastly, it's important to learn about her targets. So, Nam Ji Yeon follows (stalks) her target in both the online and offline world. She feels like slicing Gong Ae Young and Kim Si Woo into small pieces each time she sees them together.

Nam Ji Yeon is dressed in faded jeans and a loose black t-shirt. Her fake hair is short and wavy. She wears brown lenses and a slight makeup on her face. Her chest is bound into a flat runway. There is no one who could say that she is a girl. 

She picks up the magazine at the book store and pretends to read. From the corner of her eyes, she observes Gong Ae Young and her friends.

Today, she will make a move.

"Ae Young, this quiz tells how much your boyfriend loves you. Do you want to take it?" Gong Ae Young's friend asks her.

"I have a copy of this magazine at home. I already checked the quiz." Gong Ae Young looks sullen. "It is 82 percent only."

"Oh, that is good, right?" Her friend asks while looking up at the other magazines.

"How is it good, Yu-ri?" Gong Ae Young frowns deeper. "Why it wasn't a hundred percent?"

"Ae Young, these quizzes are so stupid. Si Woo broke up with his girlfriend for you. I heard from Yoon-Seo that they were in the relationship for five years. I think, Si Woo really likes you." 

Nam Ji Yeon has complicated feelings in her heart when she hears these things. She doesn't shed a tear when Kim Si Woo broke up with her for Gong Ae Young. 

"What do you know? His ex-girlfriend is a horrible person. She knows martial arts. Si Woo told me that he was always afraid of her. He didn't know about her real self before he started dating. He wanted to break up long ago, but she was forcing him to stay in the relationship. He got the courage to confront her after meeting me."

Nam Ji Yeon grits her teeth in anger. 'Afraid of making me angry? He is making me angry now. Forcing him? Is it? Let me teach you a lesson, Si Woo. Don't worry. I will make you cry the tears of blood.'

She has enough of it. She walks toward the girl in a nonchalant way. Her every gaze is calm and aloof. It is the friend who noticed her first. Her eyes widen in awe. She elbows Gong Ae Young and says, "Ae Young, look."

When Gong Ae Young's face is turning in Nam Ji Yeon's direction, she drops her magazine near Gong Ae Young's feet. She picks up the magazine. When she stands up, she smiles casually at the two girls.

"I am sorry." She waves the magazine. She doesn't wait for the girls to speak. She goes to the counter and pays for the magazine. She leaves without sparing another glance at the girls.

"Ae Young, who is this? He looks like an idol." 

"Why Si Woo isn't handsome like him?" 

"Ae Young, don't be greedy. Si Woo is handsome and cool."

"But compared to him, he is nothing. Did you see his smile? My heart skipped a beat."

"Mine too...he smelled nice."

"You sniffed?"

"You can't help but notice things when handsome boys are near, Ae Young."

"I agree...I wish I could meet him again."

"Me too."

Behind them, Nam Ji Yeon is listening to their conversation. She comes through the back door and hides behind the bookshelf. She grins when she hears Ae Young's words. Step one is complete and successful. 

That's how the evil couple breaker Nam Ji Yeon is born. 

After two days, Nam Ji Yeon meets Ae Young again at a coffee shop. She pretends not to know Ae Young. Gong Ae Young comes there with her friends. Her friend Yu-Ri is helpful. She notices Nam Ji Yeon right away. Nam Ji Yeon is quietly drinking tea and pretending to read from the book.

"Ae Young, it's him again," Yu-Ri whispers to Ae Young. "It is fate, right? Should I go and talk to him?"

"Yu-Ri, don't be overconfident. With his looks, he might have a girlfriend already." Ae Young sounds irritated. 

"What are you two whispering about?" The third girl asks.

"That Oppa is so handsome, Nari." Yu-Ri points at Nam Ji Yeon. She pretends not to notice.

"You are right." Nari pushes her glasses on the bridge of her nose. "Yu-Ri, you should talk to him. It is the twenty-first century. You are the only one who doesn't have a boyfriend."

Nam Ji Yeon sighs in her heart. 'Girls, you have no idea.'

"Ah...but it will be awkward...if I go to him like this suddenly," Yu-Ri says nervously.

"You can say that you really liked the book that he is reading," Nari suggests quietly.

Gong Ae Young looks in Nam Ji Yeon's direction and says, "That book? Ah, I have read it. It is a horror novel." 

"A guy who reads a novel...he should be a romantic guy, isn't?" Yu-Ri giggles.

"I will go and talk to him. I know about the book. Then, I will call you two to sit together if things go well."

Gong Ae Young doesn't wait for others two to reply. She gets up and boldly makes her way to Nam Ji Yeon. Even Nam Ji Yeon doesn't see it coming. 

"Hello." Gong Ae Young puts the hair behind her ear flirtatiously. "I have read that book. I didn't think that there is someone else who also likes this book."

Her sweet voice and blushing looks could make any man's heart flutter. It doesn't affect Nam Ji Yeon. 

In reality, she picked up the book after she saw her picking that book a week ago. Gong Ae Young always picked horror and thriller novels from the bookstore. She also knows that Kim Si Woo was not much of a reader. That's why she considers the 'romantic book guy' approach toward Gong Ae Young.

Nam Ji Yeon stands up with a thoughtful look. "Please don't mind, but I have seen you before...somewhere..."

"We met at the book store." Gong Ae Young feels lucky that Nam Ji Yeon still remembers her face. "The Reader's Crossing bookstore?"

"Ah, yes!" Nam Ji Yeon smiles at her. "Please, sit."

"Thank you." 

Nam Ji Yeon gives her the book. "You have read this book by this writer? This book isn't popular. Usually, girls like romantic novels."

Gong Ae Young blushes a little. "He is my favorite author."

Nam Ji Yeon leans toward her with bright eyes. 

"My name is Choi Ji Min."

"Gong Ae Young."

"Beautiful name...for a beautiful girl." 

"Thank you." Gong Ae Young looks down at her hands shyly. Nam Ji Yeon notices that her friend Yu-Ri is glaring at them.

"Are those your friends?" She asks Gong Ae Young.

Gong Ae Young doesn't look back at her friends. 

"They are waiting for their boyfriends. I came to talk to you. I didn't want to be the third wheel in their dates."

Nam Ji Yeon tilts her head at an angle that makes her face appear most handsome. She has practiced her expressions and 'angles' in the mirror at home. 

"I see...do you want to visit the bookstore?" 

"Sure, Oppa!" Gong Ae Young stands up with great enthusiasm. 

Nam Ji Yeon smirks internally. So easy, got you!

Lim Li Jun stared at the cup of warm tea he held delicately in his hand. Small freckles of tea leaves floated around, sinking their way to the bottom.  He took a small sip and brought his attention back to guests. 

The Tan's are one of the wealthiest family in the province. They own an empire of small businesses and had dealt with Lim Li Jun to keep their businesses free from both corrupt and honest politicians. 

They like to keep the value of businesses and bank accounts secret from the government and that's where Lim Li Jun comes in. 

The Tan's has been a treasured friend to Lim Li Jun.

"So, how was your studies Li Na?" Lim Li Jun spoke to the girl lounging on the sofa across from  him. 

Li Na lifted her delicate chin and smiled. She wore a tapered cheongsam that showcased her maturing figure with her hair tied in a tight bun."My studies have been alright so far."

School is not her strongest suit. One of her hobbies are reading vulgar novels that she likes to keep secret from her parents, often bribing one of the servants to buy them for her. She'd rather stay home fulfilling her romantic desires with fictional books than fry her brain learning things she'll never use.

"I heard you'll be continuing your studies into higher education." 

"Ah yes, father had been adamant about my education. He believes every woman should have formal education." Her gaze swayed at her father who watched her with a soft twinkle in his eyes. Li Na is the only child and her father had always worried about her future. Tan Jin carefully considering children of his close acquaintances for a future husband. 

As a matter of fact, there's a reason for their visit and it has something to do with Li Na and Shin. 

"Yes, speaking of studies Li Jun." Tan Jin cleared his throat and drew his gaze from his daughter focusing it on Lim Li Jun. "How's Shin doing in Singapore?"

Lim Li Jun groaned and shifted. The tall tale sign in the other man's voice told him the visit wasn't routine and Tan Jin meant to speak about business. "Shin is doing great actually, he makes good grades. A few more years and he should be finished with medicine."

"When is he coming back?" Li Na cut through the conversation between the gentlemen. She'd been itching to ask about Shin that she had shifted restlessly in her seat all night, as though there's a nagging itch she's been trying to scratch. 

Shin was the reason why she was so eager to come along. Or else, she would have been absorbed reading the hot novels in her room fantasizing about hormone enranged men who can turn into a wolf during full moon.  

Lim Li Jun bland expression brightened. He can appreciate Li Na's admiration for his Shin and had entertained the prospect of betrothal between the two of them. He offered her one of his rare smiles. "Don't worry Li Na, Shin should be coming home in a couple months.

She sighed, slacking down to the soft back of the sofa. Her mood dimmed pushing her lips into a childish pout. "A few months? A few months is a very long time."



Lim Li Jun has bitten into a forbidden apple, falling in love with the same girl as his son. And not just any girl, she was the very same girl he forbade his own son from getting involved with.

*sigh* I wanted to avoid novels from ww which are in this site. But there are some of them I don't want to avoid and this is one of them.

Synopsis :
Empires rise and fall on the Yulan Continent. Saints, immortal beings of unimaginable power, battle using spells and swords, leaving swathes of destruction in their wake. Magical beasts rule the mountains, where the brave – or the foolish – go to test their strength. Even the mighty can fall, feasted on by those stronger. The strong live like royalty; the weak strive to survive another day.

This is the world which Linley is born into. Raised in the small town of Wushan, Linley is a scion of the Baruch clan, the clan of the once-legendary Dragonblood Warriors. Their fame once shook the world, but the clan is now so decrepit that even the heirlooms of the clan have been sold off. Tasked with reclaiming the lost glory of his clan, Linley will go through countless trials and tribulations, making powerful friends but also deadly enemies.

Come witness a new legend in the making. The legend of Linley Baruch.

POSITIVE REVIEW :

CD has a very special place in my heart, which is why I'm also a bit bias towards it, being one of the first Xianxia I read.
This is an amazing piece to begin with if you're new to Xianxia, reason being that it's a complete translation, no need to wait a day, or week for a new chapter. Just binge through it all.
What really makes this one great is the relationships the MC has with different characters, which just helps flesh out the personality of the MC. This story should've been a bit longer in my opinion, to focus a bit more on certain characters, because this story suffers greatly from ignoring certain character for quite some time, until they become necessary for the story again, which is a bit sad, because many of them has been a great part of the story, until they're not. It makes it feel a bit rushed.
The world, the adventures, everything is extremely well written, it's such an amazing joy to read, and you just wish you could experience something like it while reading it, it's simply amazing. CD has its flaws, but I'm uncertain if it's because I'm bias toward it, or that it's just simply that good, that I gave it a 5/5. The non-bias part in me would like to rate it at 4/5, but in the top tier of 4s, because I feel like there's the possibility it could've been even better with more chapters, exploring characters, adventures and romance more.
UPDATE:
So I've read CD again, for the second time. Why should you read this? Because I Eat Tomatoes, the author is simply a genius at tugging at your heart strings, and making up likable characters and creating an amazing world, which shares the same universe as some of his other works. Of course reading it a second time, you notice some of the flaws.
In general all of I Eat Tomatoes works revolves around "Luck" which can be noticable in CD quite a bit, but I didn't find it overly so, except for a few cases, where luck simply is the only thing keeping the MC alive, but I can let it slide, since I can't come up with a better way of making such a rich and interesting story to begin with.
Also, the fighting becomes more or less the same at a point in the story, but the Author has still done a good job at keeping it interesting, but it does become predictable as it gets closer to the end. The most serious "flaw" this novel faces, though, is still the abandonment of characters, as most are really well written and introduced and to just forget about them is really the big flaw of CD. Getting a conclusion of what happened to some characters at the end would've been the cherry on the top for this novel.
This is still one of the best written novels out there, and I can't recommend it enough.

NEGATIVE REVIEW :

Well, where should I start.. Okay~
Coiling Dragon (Panlong) is honestly.. my first Chinese Novel. People regard their first novel as 'The one that made them read more', but it wasn't the case for me.
First, I'll start with good points of Coiling Dragon:
Spoiler
1. CD is a good novel for beginners. Unlike other Novels like ISSTH and TMW, this novel doesn't use 'Qi' or any chinese power leveling. In return, the story uses our typical Four Elements + Other Add-in to rank their powers.
2. CD has a very good initial setting. The MC, Linley is a scion of Baruch Clan, which is known for their Dragon Bloodline. He was branded as a failure after a test, but all of these changed when he acquired the *tada* Coiling Dragon Ring. There comes Grandpa Doehring. He became his teacher and taught him ways how to improve his strength and to obtain a way how to activate his Dragon Bloodline.
3. CD has a good 'Early' Romance setting. The part when Linley chose Delia over Alice is the highest point of their romance, In my Opinion.
4. For people who likes to read long novels, this is the novel for you. It is the first one of the Xianxia Genre to be fully translated. The quality of translation is good also.
5. If you like astronomically large numbers, the Author likes to give those kind of numbers.

[collapse]
The bad points of Coiling Dragon
Spoiler
1. Coiling Dragon, in a sense, has a very ridiculous PLOT ARMOR. Like IET's Novels, ALL coincidences happen to him, as if the author inserts them just to make a new objective. His Luck is way past the luck of other lucky protagonist, that you'll think his survival along the story was due to luck. Yes, he is hardworking, but much of his strength comes from luck.
2. Romance and Family setting is also ridiculous. There is a part where the MC leaves his family for almost 10 years and just to see his son and daughter grown up. Yes, he is a peerless expert, but he is a bad father.
3. Battle scenes are very annoying. If you want to describe their battle scenes, It looks like two saiyans fighting together. You won't see anything because of their very fast movement. All the audience can say is 'How fast!' and 'Such Strength!'
4. CD's plot is just confusing. Many characters are introduced, but almost the same number was forgotten.
5. In short, CD is a story with OP MC that flaunts 'MY MC's Soooo OP that...' It's that kind of story.\\

[collapse]
All in all, CD is good for new novel readers in it's early parts, but there are MUCH BETTER Novels out there in translation. If you want uninterrupted reading, this one's for you. (If you can handle the repetitivene plot of story)

*************************************************************

My thoughts : This novel is the first novel for many veterans here. It's also my third webnovel and first full webnovel. This novel is like DBZ for webnovels outside China. This novel is a good novel for those who are new webnovel.

In my library : No (completed reading this before even this site started.)

*currently in the progress*
I'm uploading chapters as soon as I complete them. So do keep this book in your library. 

Guys, there are stats for every TRANSLATED(no original) novel on this site in the book. 

Additionally I added synopsis for every novel.

I also added one positive review, one critical review, genres and tags for every novel (collected from novelupdates site or this site)

So when you feel like not finding a novel to read, check out this book and you might find something to read.

If you are new to webnovel, then this book would definitely be a good guide to you. 

Please drop a review and vote if you like what I'm doing. Thank you.
