ᴡᴇʙɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄᴏᴠᴇʀ: ᴋᴇʏᴏᴋᴀʜ / ᴋᴇʏᴏᴋᴀʜʜ__ [ᴡᴀᴛᴛᴘᴀᴅ/ᴛᴡɪᴛᴛᴇʀ]

As a child I didn't really know what it meant to be truly in love. My mother always told me that my heart belongs to the almighty God. She said that the only way we succeed in life is if we follow his ways. But I had so many questions it was hard to believe there was ever a God because every where I looked on the news, people around seem to be in sorrow with nothing left, there was nothing to grieve. But somehow I saw light where there was darkness, I saw hope.

      In time things like homosexuality, Bisexuality and other types of sexuality came up. My mom said this was the devil's work. I was so confused back then because I didn't even know the definition of homosexuality, bisexuality or any kind of sexuality. But I remember when I asked her if I could get a phone the first thing she asked was that is this for school and calling purposes only or are you gonna try researching everything I just told you because if you are I'm not gonna even think of buying you a phone so don't even ask.

Wasn't that harsh of her. All I wanted was a phone that's all. You know now that I'm writing about it, if I spoke what was on my mind then I would have gotten that phone. But all I said was, "Okay mommy". I think I was too obedient. At least speak up, beg anything but okay mommy. Ummm I don't blame me I was just seven going on eight this year, 1998 so I didn't expect myself to speak up.

       Moving forward, my father, mother, older siblings, youngers siblings and I went to church around 10:30 am. To me this was too early in the morning. My eyes weren't clearly open, my younger siblings seem to be asleep. Lucky them since they were babies they could fall asleep in church and our mom wouldn't have said a thing except put them on her lap and shake them with her legs thump thump but was soundless on the ground. But if I went to sleep in church my mom would've given me an angry look. Then after church she would've given me a stern lecture on why sleeping in church is a bad thing. Even then I couldn't pay attention to the words coming out of her mouth because I was still so tired.

            15 minutes later The pastor said....

       "Chldren 12 and younger should go to bible school. If you don't know where it is, its not far. As you come to church in your car or walking you'll see a small looking house. Thats the bible school." 

          "Don't anyone think its weird how every sunday we have to leave church and go to bible school just because we're kids," my best friend Lauren said. "Its not weird at all its the the word of God that placed on earth and we the new generation should learn to praise him." Thats Rem she's what most people in church call God's child. I mean this girl was always saying stuff off topic about God on the playground, in school, at lunch, even at Rainjo Mojo the place the majority of the children in town claim is the best place for fun. Uh fact this place isn't fun when you have a girl like her spouting the bible out there. Just saying in my opinion, people are here not to learn but to become stupid, lose their mind, go nuts really go nuts.

         Church was quiet then loud as usually with people screeming and falling everywhere.  One of these days one of them will fall down screaming and it won't be because the holy ghost has caught them it will be more like a heart attack killed them. God for bit I take back everything I've said I don't want to be responsible for anyone's death. Ay I'm out. I can't kill anyone today oh. Or else my mother will skin my head fresh. No time for death got other things to do involving watching tv and playing video games with my brothers.*African accent.

                        Oh and my name is Amelia Crow

Amelia is a young girl growing up learning new things about her sexuality and what it means to be a woman. But where she is growing up maybe an obstacle stopping her from achieving love, romance and affection. What choices is she gonna make that could lead her to where she is meant to be. That's her story which she is suppose to complete.

"Have you heard of 'Brokeback Mountain'—it's quite well-known."
"If you don't wish to watch a foreign film, let's support local production?"
"How about 'Farewell to My Concubine?' I'm sure you'll like it."
That time around, Fu Sichen didn't play dramas that Pei Zhen or himself starred in. After having sung his own praises, Fu Sichen was trying hard to open the door to a whole new world.
It was for the sake of Pei Zhen.
Pei Zhen was going nuts and on the verge of throwing a rage!
The strange way in which his sworn enemy was behaving made Pei Zhen think that he was gay!
"Sichen." Wang Youquan, who was being ignored and relegated to a corner, wiped away the beads of water forming on his forehead. He continued saying, "I-I don't think this is the right time to find yourself a girlfriend!"
Fu Sichen sighed. Suddenly, Wang Youquan had high hopes. "Neither a boyfriend!"
Then, he looked at the white ball of Persian cat, and couldn't help but add, saying, "Not even a pet!"
"Damn you," thought the unfortunate Pei Zhen who had become a cat. What are you staring at, you twerp!
He was feeling panicky.
Ever since the fat bird mentioned 'gay universe,' Pei Zhen had been feeling unsettled and awkward.
Fu Sichen had been the subject of a few scandals involving female celebrities over the years, but they were all rumors.
Of course, that didn't mean that he was gay, although chances were high.
"Farewell To My Concubine" was already playing on the iPad. Who knew whether there was any underlying intention that the scene Fu Sichen skipped to was one where the two leads were kissing. 
The two leads were males.
"My eyes. Oh, my eyes!" Wang Youquan was already crying out.
"Shut up," said the annoyed Fu Sichen.
Suddenly, Wang Youquan sat up straight. "We shouldn't be narrow-minded towards homosexuality. As long as it's true love, what does it matter if the partner is male or female?"
Fu Sichen smiled a smile that sent chills down Wang Youquan's spine. Wang Youquan was compelled to declare himself to be straighter than a ruler, but Fu Sichen's gaze turned on Pei Zhen. 
"Pei Pei, love transcends all boundaries."
That made Pei Zhen fume.
What the hell!
Emotions aside, why was Fu Sichen directing the comment at him?! 
Cat! He was really just a cat. A snow-white Persian cat!
Feeling confused and nervous, Pei Zhen tried to escape Fu Sichen's embrace. However, Fu Sichen did not let go and tightened his grip, even gave his cat ears a gentle pinch.
Fu behaved like a hooligan, yet gentle longing filled his eyes. That sent shivers down Pei Zhen's spine, even on a hot day. 
Sorry, he was a straight cat, a straight man! He was straight as a telephone pole!
"Darn!" The driver cried out, "The telephone pole has snapped, and it's blocking our path."
Pei Zhen lifted his head and looked out of the window. 
The telephone pole along the street was bent. And it looked so different from its fellow sister telephone poles that they didn't know him anymore.
Oops, I think I made a false declaration, thought Pei Zhen, Snigger.jpg.
Fearing that his artiste thought something crooked, Wang Youquan was persistent in getting to the bottom of things. He found out that Fu Sichen was watching gay movies as he had received a gay-themed script.
"You seriously want to take this on?" As the film industry flourished in recent years, netizens had also become more open to the idea of homosexuality. But still, as it wasn't mainstream, Wang Youquan was worried. "Sichen, you really want to take on a gay role? What about your rich housewives and female fans?"
"What about them? I like who I like of course." Fu Sichen was not concerned at all. "Don't worry; they'll like my wife."
Wife???
Pei Zhen suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Fu Sichen, stunned.


The person that Pei Zhen hates most in his life is the perfect Fu Sichen. Alas, life is full of surprises and unpredictability. One fine day, an accident turns Pei Zhen into Fu Sichen's pet cat! As Fu Sichen's pet cat, he makes a shocking discovery about his sworn enemy - a deep dark secret that the perfect Fu Sichen has kept hidden for years. Trapped in his cat body, Pei Zhen moves from one adventure into another while trying hard to find a way of turning back into his human self. When he finally does, the world as he once knew, has become a completely different place!

His conclusion shocked the audience. The award-winning actor seemed to be really strict with himself. The ambition underlying his short speech seemed very difficult to realize.
He had found success very young, yet he hadn't relaxed. His effort certainly deserved everyone's support and encouragement.
 Qin Guan received a warm applause from the audience. Whether he deserved it or not was debatable.
Of course, if Qin Guan's actions did not match his words, the Chinese media would cast him aside. No one could ever fool the media.
The atmosphere was harmonious as the reporters started asking him questions.
"Why did you return to China at this particular moment?"
"Today, Zhang Yimou's documentary was broadcast all over the world during the Closing Ceremony of the Athens Olympics. I represented Chinese people before the entire world, so this was the perfect chance for me to return to my homeland."
"Mr. Qin Guan, may we know your plans for the future? Are there any new offers on the table?"
"I only accept good scripts. My agent will be glad to receive any good-quality scripts. I'll read them all carefully."
"Do you think your status in the international fashion circle will be affected? Will all those top brands terminate their contracts with you?"
"I haven't signed many contracts lately. Quality is more important than quantity. Some brands have moved their headquarters to China for me. I think it won't be long before we see even more top brands in China."
…
The reporters were competing for a chance to ask him a question. Twenty minutes were not enough to satisfy them. The host watched the time, and the staff of the International Black Star Security Company stopped any reporters who ignored the time limit.
They were still pretty lucky though. They got to talk with Qin Guan face to face after all. His fans were really sad after the conference.
Our idol has really returned to China. It seems like he will travel for an offer if the script is good enough though. Let's hope production companies act quick and give him some good scripts!
Actually, all foreign film companies were confused. Qin Guan had just been promoted to a B-level actor in America and accepted an offer from Warner Bros. Then, before people could even come to terms with this, he had suddenly returned to China.
Everyone was speechless over the matter. This was not a time of war after all, when actors were not considered talented individuals.
Qin Guan was not that important for the American film circle. There was only one man who thought so.
Director Li An had won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The Taiwanese director, who had captivated the Oscar committee with his talent and appeal, had also shocked film production companies with his elegance.
As a result, Li An had gotten a script that he had been longing for. It was an indie film about homosexuals called "Brokeback Mountain".
The script had been handed around to four other famous directors, but had been turned down by all of them. Li An was under great pressure, as he loved the script and wanted to shoot the film.
In 2004, homosexuality was not acknowledged or accepted by mainstream society, so both the producer and the director were under a lot of stress.
Li An though, who was a sensitive man, really loved the script. He did not just see homosexuality, but also love, kinship and humanity in the story's loneliness. That was the real message of the film.
After some careful consideration, he chose Jake Gyllenhaal and Qin Guan as the two leads.
Director Li An threw Qin Guan's resume on his desk. His assistant tried to comfort him. "The company has just begun preparing for production. We have at least two to three months left. I'll contact Qin Guan's firm right away."
"Don't forget your identity, director. You are also Chinese. You could just appeal to his emotions..."
"This is a really good film after all. It should definitely be made."
Li An waved his assistant away torpidly.
Meanwhile, another lucky director, quite different from the world-famous Li An, was sitting confidently before Qin Guan.
Xu Jinglei was the most artistic female actor in China. She would much rather be a talented director than a trashy celebrity of the fickle entertainment circle.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

The other party was indeed angered by Shui Shui because Shui Shui's words were clearly ambiguous. What did she mean by being religious Although she was religious, what she said was normal "Nowadays, homosexuality is indeed opposed in many regions. In some countries, once homosexuals are in love in public, they will be imprisoned for more than ten years. "Moreover, the majority of people infected with AIDS are also homosexuals. Therefore, I firmly believe that homosexuality will bring harm. "
She started to emphasize that the proportion of gay people suffering from AIDS was higher than other things. This was indeed the truth, but Shui Shui could also refute it "Do you know how AIDS is spread? This means that if a man has aids and he has sex with a woman, if there are no safety measures taken, then the woman will also get aids. "The first way of transmission is through touch, blood, and mother-to-child transmission. "So, it may not necessarily be the gay people who spread the most. It just so happens that most gay people are very unlucky to be infected with AIDS, but this can not be said to be so. "This is not a certainty. It can only be said to be a fortuitous event. "As for you, using this matter as an example, then let me ask you, those countries where homosexuals show off their love, are they sentenced because of the national system or because of other reasons? "
Shui Shui was also unwilling to be outdone. She never felt that she was weak, and the other party started to spout nonsense. Shui Shui was also trying to lead them away from the main topic. At first, the other party was still conscious and deliberately brought up the main topic, but later on, they started to spout nonsense. Shui Shui could not help but laugh, and the time was up. Shui Shui's group received 45 points, while the first-high Group received 32 points.
The first high group didn't dare to imagine why it was so low?
The judges gave a slight explanation "Your fluency isn't bad, but you've already deviated from the main point. You're the opposing party, and your main point is to oppose homosexuality, not AIDS. "Moreover, the person who basically speaks in your school is you, but I don't know how the other two are doing. "
"Isn't that girl on the other side also saying that? " The girl was dissatisfied.
"In the beginning, it was her teammate who said it, but she didn't say anything. After that, it was all her. Counting the time like this, everyone said quite a bit. "Moreover, you don't have enough evidence to refute the arguments of the third high. " He was also very honest However, he was pleasantly surprised. These two girls'spoken English was very good. They didn't sound like they had any problems. If the contestants were all like this, they wouldn't have to guess the spelling of some of the students so hard. Because some of the students'accents were too heavy and their spelling wasn't very good, the judges often didn't understand them.
Shui Shui smiled faintly and thanked the judges. Then, she left the stage with her teammates. The team leader of the third high school also opened his hands. "THAT'S GREAT! "
"Haha, I can feel that the other party is starting to deviate from the topic. " Ma Yue couldn't help but laugh.
"Yeah, deviating from the topic. That definitely won't work. " Shui Shui also laughed. This was also a strategy.
Luo Ming could feel that the other party's deviating topic was induced by Shui Shui. "You're too bad. You're inducing them to start talking about other things. "
"although it's inducing, if they pay more attention, they won't be induced by me. Do you guys want to stay and watch or what? " Shui Shui asked.
"Stay and watch. In the future, we might become opponents. " Luo Ming planned to stay and watch, and also to see how strong the other schools were.
Shui Shui looked behind her. "Then I'll go back first. My father is here. "
"Okay, but you can actually watch more. When we really meet, it'll be easier to deal with. " Ma Yue wanted Shui Shui to stay and watch together.
Shui Shui refused. "sorry, I live near the school and rarely see my father. "
She still chose her father. She walked over and Qian an gave Shui Shui Shui a hug. "awesome. My Shui Shui is still as amazing as ever. "
"Hehe, Dad, you planted that too, " Qian Shuishui teased.
Qian an smiled. "You're becoming more and more eloquent. "
"I only say that to dad. It's the weekend today. Dad, I see that you've been quite busy recently. If you're busy, you can go to the company. I'll accompany you. I can even help you out, " Shui Shui said with a smile. She was not joking. Instead, she said it seriously.
"You, as long as you don't cause trouble for Dad. However, if you're curious, you can come over. Dad will give you something to do. If you do well, Dad will reward you! " Qian an liked his daughter's thoughtfulness.
"En, then go back to the apartment and bring Qian Zhian along. " Qian Shuishui remembered that Qian Zhian was still sleeping at home, so she estimated that he would sleep until noon.
"Okay, call him and ask him to prepare. " Qian Zhian nodded. Moreover, by staying by his side, he could also urge him to study.
Shui Shui called Qian Zhian. The first call didn't go through, but the second time, Qian Zhian answered. "Hello? "
That Lazy Voice let Shui Shui Know that he hadn't woken up yet. "I'm up. I'll be at the apartment in about ten minutes. You go downstairs. Dad and I will come to pick you up. We'll go to the office for lunch. "
"Ah? Dad is coming? Why are you going to the office? Why am I going? Then I won't go. You guys go. " Qian Zhian didn't really want to go.
"We're already on the way. You can't say no. Dad is listening by the side. " Shui Shui didn't forget to say, "I'm using the loudspeaker. "
"F * Ck. Why didn't you say so earlier? I'll get up right now. When you get the call, I'll go downstairs. " Qian Zhian didn't delay any longer. He directly jumped up and ran to the bathroom. This second sister of his always tricked him. She even used the loudspeaker. It wouldn't be good if dad heard it.
Shui Shui didn't use the loudspeaker. She just wanted to scare Qian Zhian. Sure enough, this guy fell for it.
Shui Shui couldn't help but laugh. This younger brother was quite cute.
Qian Zhian was focused on the phone. When a call came in, he would turn on his Bluetooth headset to answer it.
When they arrived outside Shui Shui's apartment, Shui Shui called Qian Zhian. She didn't disturb her father because he was still on the phone.
When Qian Zhian got off and got in the car, he was about to say something. When he noticed that his father was on the phone, he also kept quiet.
Qian an drove to the company. When he ended the call, he called out to Qian Zhian, "Zhian, what time is it? You're still sleeping. "
"Dad, I had a gathering with my friends yesterday, so I slept late. Moreover, it's a rare weekend today, so I'll sleep more. " Qian Zhian found an excuse. He would never say that he had been playing on his second sister's computer all night. He only fell asleep when his second sister woke up.
Shui Shui naturally knew what he was doing, but she didn't expose him.
Qian an parked the car in the company garage and brought the two children into the company.
There weren't many people working on weekends, but there were still people. When they saw the boss bringing the children, they naturally took a few more glances.
"brother-in-law, you're here. " When they arrived at Qian an's office, they found Uncle Li sitting inside.
Qian an looked at him. "I remember that you don't have to work on weekends. "
"Yes, but it's our own company after all. brother-in-law, you're already here. How can I still be slacking at home? I didn't tell you just now, but I came into the office. I'm a little embarrassed. " Uncle Li could sense Qian an's displeasure, so he explained in advance.
Qian an wasn't the kind of person who was stingy. "It's nothing. Then why are you looking for me? "
Uncle Li looked at the two children. "I want to talk to you alone. "
Qian an nodded and looked at the two children. "You two sit outside first. I'll bring you down for dinner later. "
"Okay. " Shui Shui nodded and went out with her brother.
She closed the door and let the two of them have a good talk.
Uncle Li smiled "brother-in-law, I came here this time because I have something to discuss with you. Isn't there a large furniture mall here? During the celebration of the New Year, they had some internal problems and now they want to sell their place. The boss is a friend of mine and he said that he could sell it to us at a low price. I want to discuss this matter with brother-in-law. Maybe we can take it down and do it ourselves. "
Qian an had never made furniture before, and he had no intention of making a business in the area of furniture "there are many projects in the company now, and the flow of funds is also large. If we want to use money to buy that piece of land, we can't do it without tens of millions. Another thing is that our company has no intention of making furniture. "
Uncle Li knew that Qian an would say that, so he continued to persuade him, "brother-in-law, you can't say that because there aren't many stores selling furniture now. If it weren't for that friend investing in something else and making a mistake, he wouldn't have sold such a profitable place. "
Qian an knew that the place was not bad and belonged to the central area. It wouldn't be a loss to buy it, but he also had to consider the current capital flow. "I can't take out so much money in one go. "
"Don't worry, you can pay it in installments. I've talked to the other party. It'll be fine as long as it's cleared within a year, " Uncle Li tried his best to persuade him.
Qian an pondered, "I'll have to consider this matter. "
"brother-in-law, this friend of mine said that he'll only give me three days. If you don't want it, he'll sell it to someone else. There's no need to worry about selling that place. "If brother-in-law trusts me, he can manage it according to me. I'll definitely increase the profit, " uncle Li boasted.
Qian an was not an impulsive person, especially when the company had developed to this stage. It was not based on drive.
"Big Brother, I'll give you an answer the day after tomorrow. " Qian an would definitely drag it out until the end. He would think carefully about whether it was worth it or not.
Uncle Li could not help but say a few more words, "brother-in-law, don't blame big brother for blabbering. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I've also asked the price clearly. 28 million. "
"28 million? " This price was indeed lower than the market price.
"Yes, and that includes the internal items. " Uncle Li felt that this was not enough to tempt him How could he tempt him Seeing that he was a little surprised by this price, there was a chance.
"This is indeed not a loss. On the contrary, it's a little more profitable. " Qian an felt that this price was a little unreasonable. "Why would he rather lower the price than hang it up on the shelves? That way, he'll earn more. "
"It's like this. He wants to pay in installments. The first installment must be 10 million. Many people won't be able to take it out so quickly, but we'll be more compact. We should be able to take it out. " Uncle Li was hoping that Qian an would take out money to buy that place.

TN: The author changed the name of Lan Province starting from this chapter. Previously, 州 as in prefecture/province was used, but now it's 洲 as in continent/island in a river. I will be renaming Lan Province to Lan Zhou to simplify things. And to clarify, yes, Lan Zhou is a city.

里 | li | unit of measurement that has varied over time but has now been standardized to 500 meters (Wikipedia)

What kind of situation was this? Ruan Zhu was in a bad mood and grumbled: "I'm afraid I don't have the leisure to provide for such a large household."

Yun Shi Yi smiled and gently tapped her nose: "You don't have to worry about this matter. The men of Tian Chu are not in such dire financial straits as to need females to provide for them, so you don't need to display such a gloomy face. If others were to know about this, they would think that this Head Yun is unable to support his wifey."

In Tian Chu, it was regarded as exceptionally humiliating if one was unable to provide for his wife. Even if a man was to became a Buddhist monk due to a lack of talent, there were no monasteries that would be willing to accept such a disgraceful disciple.


 

Ruan Zhu was teased with until she smiled: "You Head Yun is so exceptional, there will be females that like you no matter where you go. We even ran into one of your admirers just after entering a teahouse. This era is where women are respected. If it was switched to how it was several hundred years ago when men were the ones with seniority and could have three wives and five concubines, you would already have a whole heap of children."

These few days while she was at the Yun manor, Ruan Zhu had especially sought out a book detailing the history of Tian Chu. It turns out this world was not at all a continuation of the Tang dynasty timeline after the An Shi Rebellion. Rather, a provincial governor by the two-character surname of Xuanyuan from Lan Zhou had led troops to seize Chang'an[a]. Afterwards, he eliminated all opposing powers before restoring the country to one based on political and military achievements. He officially named this country 'Tian Chu'.

It's unknown if it was because the Tang dynasty's fate had not yet ended or if the principal governor's actions had angered the Heavens, but after the Xuanyuan clan successfully created the nation of Tian Chu, a period of suffering that was practically a devastating epidemic occurred in the fourth year after the founding of the country. This plague wreaked havoc on the female population, causing it to rapidly decrease.

The disease specifically targeted women. Whether it was because they were too healthy or their physique was too different, men were completely immune.


 

An innumerable amount of women died as a result. If one solely considered a single day in the ancient capital of Chang'an that was now famous in the modern ages, over seven thousand female corpses were cremated.

This disaster extended worldwide. It spread to Fusang and Liuqiu in the east, to Rome in the west and to Java in the south.[b] In the north, it reached to where the rakshasas reside and covered their entire territory. In short, anywhere that had people was devastated by this devil's epidemic.

But not only that, the epidemic also changed the human genes. After the catastrophe, humans discovered that the female birth rate had decreased so much that they didn't even amount to a quarter of the male births. Furthermore, all female children were born with a frail constitution and their chances of survival also weren't high.

Not long after, the 'one woman many husbands' law was issued. In an effort to practice what one teaches, the Emperor took it upon himself to be an example and wed a joint Empress with his brothers. All the cabinet members also followed the example of their superior, one after the other sharing a wife with their brothers or taking the initiative to find other males for their wife. This caused the trend to become very popular among the people. Thus, through these various means, the population was able to increase and the nation's power remained rich and powerful.

"What do you mean 'a whole heap of children'? Why would Wife say it like this? In the future when we have children, you must not say such ridiculous things." In the eyes of this Head Yun, family and children were sacred so one could not be irreverent.

"I got it. I won't call it a heap, I'll just call it a nest of piglets. That should be fine, right!"
Ruan Zhu's impression of this society's females was that they would have to give birth to and raise over ten children during their lifetime. A crowd of children surrounding their mother–wherever she went, they'd go. This scene was pretty much the same as leading a drove of piglets.


 

Little pigs sometimes are really annoying, but they could also be pretty cute. When she had watched Journey to the West on her TV, the one that had attracted her attention the most out of the four protagonists was precisely older brother Zhu.[c]

Yun Shi Yi helplessly forced a smile as he remembered that his little wife was only fifteen years old, a child still brimming with innocence. It wouldn't be fair to compare her to an adult's standard.

Ruan Zhu looked outside the window. The inspection at the city gates was nearing the end as the majority of the carriages and travelers had entered the city. Xiao Feng and Xiao Shan were idly chatting next to their carriage. Yun Shi Wei had also finished his walk and returned with Dao Qiang and Jian Ji following behind him. During this parental visit, he had organized the things in his Jian Garden into two large carriages and ordered his two personal servants to return to the city with him.

The Yun residence in the city was the Yun family's Eldest Young Master's property. Before getting married, the second young master of the Yun family did not consider this as his home, but after getting a taste of a relationship between a male and a female, he genuinely started thinking of the Yun residence as his and essentially established himself there.

Even though it was around March or April, these few days have been abnormally sweltering. As a result, Ruan Zhu drank a few more cups of tea and now felt the need to empty her bladder. Yun Shi Yi saw that her expression was not good and asked: "What's wrong?"

Embarrassed, Ruan Zhu responded: "I accidentally drank too much tea and would like to relieve myself." If it was at the Yun residence, it would be fine and easily done. But since this was outside, it was probably really inconvenient to relieve herself. Thinking of this, it made her reminisce even more fondly of the flush toilets in her previous life.

"The lavatory is in the back garden. After exiting through the back door, take a left at the corner and you'll see it. I'll take you there."

"No need. I'm just using the toilet so why would you, a grown man, follow me? Could it be that we're going to do something explicit there?"


 

Alone, Ruan Zhu walked out of the private room. Across from them was where Ma Cui Yun was seated and the entrance to her room was wide open. Hearing the sound of a door, Ma Cui Yun instinctively turned her head just to see her love rival. She became exceptionally envious and her eyes filled with hatred.

As if nothing had happened, Ruan Zhu calmly left the view of the pair of eyes that wanted to drill holes into her. She didn't steal the other's man so there was no need for her to have a guilty conscience. Her two hubbies were talented enough to also be able to protect her. It was hard enough having to conduct herself with her tail between her legs in her past world, so in this life, she would do her utmost to live her days with her head held high and her chest out.

Reaching the back garden, she found the toilet and at long last resolved the issue with her physiology. On her way back, she came across a male dressed in white. He didn't have the same sort of imposing and impressive manliness that captured people like her two hubbies had. Nevertheless, he was simple and elegant, as if he was an immortal. With a silver cap on top of his thick jet-black hair, a pair of slender peach blossom eyes glanced at Ruan Zhu and immediately exposed a dazzling smile.

"I was just wondering why the Eurasian magpies were singing so joyfully in the trees. What a splendid beauty with a lotus face, floating by like a cloud, giving off such a quiet and exquisite charm with a waist as slim and graceful as a young willow. But I do not know which family this Miss is from? Is it possible for this humble one, Liu Fei Xu, to ask for Miss's esteemed name?"

Was he referring to her? Ruan Zhu blinked her eyes. In her past life, she had an ordinary appearance and even by her death at eighteen, had never been addressed by a male. In this life, she had been entrusted with this body's good appearance and unexpectedly could enter the eyes of beautiful men. Other than secretly being somewhat delighted at this realization, she didn't have any devious thoughts.

From time immemorial, no matter if one was male or female, all humans had a kind of vanity in their hearts. They would be strongly attached to beautiful appearances and yearn for the perfect person of the opposite sex. It didn't matter whether or not you liked the other party. If they complimented you, there would be no sense in taking offense. Thus, Ruan Zhu also couldn't avoid this convention. It was unrelated with feelings of like or admiration. It was a gaze that was purely appreciative just as one would admire a painting, a poem, or a handicraft.

"This one is called Qin Zhu and lives in the Qin family village that is twenty li south of this city. This one came to the city a few days ago to visit the Xi Bao Hua Buddhist temple to pray for blessing by burning incense sticks, so is currently staying in the Yuelai inn that isn't far from here. Mister Liu is just like his name, outstanding talents faintly discernible with a flying appearance. It really makes one feel admiration." She was called Qin Zhu in her previous world, so this didn't count as speaking falsely. From her mouth spilled out words flaunting the other side, yet in her mind she muttered: Naming him anything was fine but he had to be called 'ruins'. Liu Ruins. This person's parents truly had ability. Not only was the name easy to remember, but the message was also rather profound.[d]

"The beadwork produced by the land of Qin has such a gentle color and is so exquisitely made. Altogether, it really compliments Miss. This is truly what you call a person taking after their name, such wonderful and satisfactory skill!"[e]

"Mister is too flattering." Ruan Zhu faintly smiled. This man was beautiful without compare, a pair of long and narrow peach blossom eyes faintly sparkling with affection. She feared that if women weren't careful, they would all sink into those eyes.

She had just newly married and in her heart, regarded Yun Shi Yi as the most outstanding man in the whole world. Liu Ruins, this chap, may be good looking, but his personality dropped him a level.

Furthermore, this sort of good-looking guy in her eyes was the same as the cross-dressing men[f] in her past life. Those 'fake females' caused the society based on males and females to be thrown in disarray. The male wasn't male, the female wasn't female. By themselves, these fake females weren't really an issue, but they received widespread coverage through television and other social media. All of this recognition most definitely spurred homosexuality and polysexuality. If this continues, the number of patients suffering from AIDS will also increase.[g]

Ah, I've thought too far.

Liu Fei Xu looked the maiden before him up and down. She wasn't the kind of female that was breathtaking at first sight and fell far short of the prefectural magistrate's Madam. But her skin was as white as snow, sparkling and pure, which made her seem as adorable as a porcelain doll. And her large eyes that were like bright and clear black pearls were especially mesmerizing.


 

"Does Miss already have a husband?"

Whether or not she had a husband didn't have much of an influence on him. In any case, he was confident he would ultimately be able to have her. After all, don't all women love beautiful men? He would simply gift her some expensive jewels and ornaments and whisper sweet nothings and honeyed words at the appropriate times. Once the time was ripe, even if she pretended to keep up appearances by not obediently begging him for more, just like how the prefectural magistrate's wife was, wouldn't she be the same as a slut with an insatiable appetite once they start?

"Mister is making a joke. This one is only fifteen years old, how could one have a husband?" Ruan Zhu told her lie with a gentle voice and she deliberately revealed a bashful expression.

Liu Fei Xu has eaten his fill of exotic delicacies but felt that the beauty in front of his eyes was particularly fresh and clean. So tender and delicate, like a ripe fruit that enticed people.

He smiled slightly. Exposing what he thought was his most charming expression, he walked forward a step.

Ruan Zhu was originally playing along but unexpectedly, the pretense turned into reality. With every step he took forward, she would withdraw a step, until her back was against the wall and she could retreat no further. All of a sudden, she heard Yun Shi Yi in the building shouting her name Zhu Zhu and hurriedly pushed aside Liu Fei Xu.

"Aiya, my eldest cousin is calling me. I won't continue chatting with you and will leave now."

Ruan Zhu ran out from his side and in an instant, entered the building.

Liu Fei Xu was caught by surprise by the beautiful maiden's escape. He was completely unfamiliar with this situation. Previously, it had always been him that first left. When had there ever been a time when a beauty had left him behind? His heart immediately felt a bit ticklish and vowed to see her again.

"Where did you go that took you this long?" Yun Shi Yi couldn't just sit and wait. Feeling worried, he had been afraid that she had met with some mishap thus had left the private room to look for her.

"I met an idiot." He was a chap that thought too highly of himself, a classic case of a rich playboy. But if she hadn't stayed and played with him, wouldn't that have let down the other party, who had put so much effort into his act?

"It's already noon. Let's hurry and enter the city!"


 
Yun Shi Yi didn't ask who Ruan Zhu had met. Per his thinking, if the other party was deemed an 'idiot', that meant they were abnormal and there was no value in asking.

He held onto her small hand as they walked out of Wanyue Teahouse and happened to meet Yun Shi Wei, who was walking over. Together they ascended their carriage and passed through the city gate after being inspected by the city guards for a while. Finally, they entered Lan Zhou.

In the carriage, Yun Shi Yi once again had Ruan Zhu sit in his lap: "When we arrive home, I will bring the household ledger for you to look at. From now on, the Yun residence and any businesses in Lan Zhou are under your control–whatever you say goes. All of the expenses will be yours to oversee and allocate."

"Stop." Ruan Zhu hurriedly said: "Tianyi Pavilion will still be yours to personally manage. Household matters, I can handle, but for major situations, you make the decision." She didn't want to cause other transmigrators to lose face with her poor skills. She was impoverished in her past life, so apart from buying food and paying her tuition, only several thousand yuan at the most had passed through her hands. It's only been a few days since she had crossed over into a wealthy lady of the second generation so she hadn't had the chance to see how much money she possessed.

The most pathetic thing in the world that nothing could surpass was not being able to confidently live through each day because one did not have money. But right now, she wanted to tell everyone that in reality, even if you had money, if you didn't dare or know how to spend it, that is what 'tragic' truly meant.

“What are you doing? I can’t even touch?”

“Of course not. Sleep and don’t randomly move your limbs. We still have to pay a visit to the elders tomorrow!”

Outside the window, the moon was bright and clear. Inside the room, the sound of snoring gradually resounded. After an indeterminate amount of time, the girl that was nestled between two men opened her watery eyes and blankly stared at her surroundings.

A phrase that she commonly saw on the internet slowly took shape in her mind….Transmigration?

Chapter 8. Literature club (2)

"You don't have those books here."

"Yeah, we didn't have the books you are looking for."

Ren sighed as he looked at the library committee member.

He was currently in the library trying to find some of the novels he wanted to read.

As he was short on money, he thought that he could borrow the novels from the library.

That's why he visited the library after school but the result was unexpected.

The books he was looking for had either been taken away by someone or they are not available in the library.

"Why don't you have those famous novels?"

When Ren asked that question, the library committee member just shrugged his hands and said.

"Do you think the library would have all the books?"

"Didn't the library should at least have some famous novels?"

"I am only responsible for taking care of books, not buying them and we do have some novels if you want to read them."

Ren just sighed hearing the answer. He knew that the library have some novels but he had already read those. 

As Ren was about to leave the library, the library committee member said.

"If you really want to read those novels, I knew the place where you can find them."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you could find those books in the literature club."

"Literature club!"

Ren hadn't heard of the literature club but from its name, he can tell what kind of club it was.

"Many people don't know but there are many novels in the literature club. The teacher in charge of that club like to collect books. You could even find some light novels there."

"Can you tell me where I could find the literature club?"

"Go to the third floor. The last room there is the literature club."

The library committee member said as he started reading his book. Ren just thanked him and left. He didn't wanted to disturb him more.

* * *

"It really has many books."

Ren muttered as he entered the literature club. There were many bookshelves full of books in the room. 

Many papers were also scattered on the floor and the room wasn't very tidy but Ren didn't care about it.

His eyes were on the books. 

'There really are all kinds of novels here.'

There were almost all of the famous novels in the bookshelves. There were also novels of his favourite authors.

"Why are there light novels in the literature club?"

Ren muttered as he noticed some volumes of light novels. He was confused as to why there were light novels in the literature club but he didn't think about it much.

He was here to find some novels to read not to figure out why there were light novels in the literature club.

'Ah, here it is.'

As Ren was looking around, he finally found the book he was looking for. 

«Undeserving»

It was a book that was written by Nagami Yuu, one of his favourite authors. He was looking for that book to find some inspiration for his story.

As the setting of his book and «Undeserving» was same, Ren thought he could gain some inspiration from it.

Although the setting of both the books were the same as they were both the stories of geniuses, the plot was vastly different.

"Can I take it without asking anyone?"

Although Ren had found the book, he was hesitant to take it back as it will be considered theft If he took it without asking anyone.

'Slide!'

As he was thinking of whether to take the book or not, the door suddenly opened.

"Ah, what are you doing here….Amano-kun?"

"Nakai sensei?!"

It was Nakai sensei and a glasses wearing boy who entered the room. 

"Why is that book in your hand Amano-kun?"

Nakai sensei asked as he glanced towards the book in Ren's hand.

"Ah, no, I was just thinking of borrowing it for a bit?"

Ren answered hurriedly. He was in a awkward situation as he was seen taking the book.

He knew he had not done something wrong but the timing of the situation made him feel like he was caught stealing.

"Oh, you are just borrowing the book?"

Nakai sensei said as he came close to Ren and put a hand on his shoulder. His face was smiling but Ren felt that it was a devil smiling in front of him.

"Yes, I was just borrowing it for a bit?"

"Really? You are sure you aren't stealing instead of borrowing?"

"Yeah, I am sure."

"But you know the books in the literature club can't be 'borrowed' without the permission of the teacher in charge and that would be me."

"Huh?!"

Ren was surprised when he heard Nakai sensei's words. He really didn't knew that Nakai sensei was in charge of the literature club.

When he think about it, it also made sense, Nakai sensei was the literature teacher. It made sense for him to be in charge of the literature club.

"If I think about it, I hadn't gave you any permission to borrow a book, right."

"Ahh?!"

Ren just groaned instead of any response. He can't think of any response.

"Um, can you tell me what is going in?"

As they were talking among themselves, the bespectacled boy spoke.

"Oh, It isn't much Himuro-kun, Amano here is our newest member "

"Huhhh?!"

Both Ren and the bespectacled boy named Himuro shrieked loudly at Nakai sensei's words.

"What are you saying? When did I joined the literature club?"

"Do you want me to report to the discipline committee that you were stealing books?"

"Ah! Are you blackmailing me?"

"No, I will not use those petty methods. It is a equivalent exchange. You can borrow those books without any permission if you joined the literature club. Don't you think it is a good thing for you."

"Huh!"

Ren fell in  thoughts at Nakai sensei words, it was true that he will be able to borrow books from the literature club if he joined it but he had to give up his free time if he really did that.

"Is it really worth it?"

Ren thought about it for some time and after thinking about the prices of novels in the market, he finally made up his mind to join the club.

It wasn't like he had to give up something valuable for it, it will only take his free time.

"So, what do you think about it?"

"Ah, I will join the club."

Ren said as he softly sighed and Nakai sensei had a huge smile on his face when he heard Ren's response.

"Haha, that's the answer I was looking for. Now, clean up the literature club room as your first task."

"What?!"

"Didn't you heard me. I said to clean the room. Don't you think it is too dirty for a room. As a club member, it's your duty to clean it. Himuro-kun, here will help you."

Nakai sensei said as he left the club room with a smile on his face.

"Nakai sensei is somewhat weird but he's good at teaching and he is very knowledgeable about literature. By the way, Nice to meet you, I am Himuro Kouji."

"Amano Ren, it's nice to meet you too."

Ren said with a smile but he was frowning inwardly thinking about his future days with the devil teacher.

Fame, wealth, prestige, genius, destruction, despair, loss and failure.

Those are the eight words which describes Ren's life completely.

He was hailed as a genius but his arrogance led him to despair. From a genius, he became a failure.

He was just struggling with his life when fate gave him a second chance.

Now, what will he do after he found himself waking up in another world.

I have never felt stronger.

I know, I know. I whined so much in the last entry. I honestly didn't think it was worth all the pain.

I was wrong.

I feel so powerful. Even the pain and stress I felt during the training has lessened recently, or maybe that's just me getting used to the suffering. In any case, I'm happy that Kai became our trainer. He may be cruel and cold-hearted, but he's a dang good coach.

Recently, a couple of people who seem to know him have come. They never introduced themselves, so I don't know their names, but they look awfully close to Kai.

Well, I mean, Kai acts as indifferent and apathetic as always, but they talk like they're good friends with Kai. And he seems to tolerate them too. 

I can tell one of them feels bad for us. He keeps staring at us with a look that says, 'I'm so sorry. I know how it feels." 

However, this is not the reason I've decided to write an entry today. It's because I've found out something incredible. Something unbelievable. Something I would not have believed had I not seen it myself.

Kai is dating. Specifically, he's dating the guy who pities us.

I never would have pegged Kai as a guy that swung that way. Not that I'm disappointed, in fact, I'm just about going crazy over this new development. I've always been a bit, interested in such people. Ahem, bl comics are not something I can say I've never read.

Anyways, I have to share this with the rest of my team. They won't believe it. Such a cold-hearted guy. I'll bet he's the uke.

(Note: Experts are not quite sure what an 'uke' is, or 'bl', but they have inferred that the two have something to do with homosexuality.)

Heh, I can't believe I was able to catch such a scene of Kai being kissed by another person. A light kiss, but still a kiss.

How lucky.

This diary is the journal of a person involved in the incident known as Deleted 700. From the style and hints given in this diary, experts say that the victim was likely a young female. There is no solid way to verify this though, as the author and all 700 other people have seemingly vanished. Experts also claim that the conjecture that they were all deleted, based on the description of deletion in the text, is most likely wrong. This diary has been vital in our attempt to educate ourselves on Deleted 700 and has provided much of the current knowledge we have.

We are sharing with you so that we may honor her final wish. That everybody who reads this may know that she existed and that she meant something.

OK, so. I am a week away from going into secondary school(I'm from england just saying)and I want everyone to know something.

Yes, I like the progress of this novel and yes, this has gotten a lot of views. I'm grateful for that but something isnt really there. If you didnt know, even though I'm 11(almost 12)I am probably one of the biggest fujoshi kids out there. Like bro, I cant even look away from a gay manga or comic for even a second. I HAVE NO SHAME!!!!

For a long time,  ive been wanting too write something that not only people like but something that I can read over and over again. Also,  if you arent too fond of homosexuality then the novel I'm going too write is not for you lol.

I dont know if I'm really going to upload often but I want too focus on the upcoming novel! I hope you understand and I deeply appreciate all the people who are seeing this and thinking that I'm a total idiot. 

I may postpone on this and my other novel for a while in the making of my BL one but I mean, there's a but ton of other things too read here if you get bored of my poor vocabulary.

This is all I wanted too say and yes, I'm not going to update my other novel for a while aswell. Sad I know.

Well, I guess I'm going too go now and I want everyone to have a good day and cya in my novels.

cya!
