In the first book of the Imperial Omegaverse series, follow Li Changyu as he navigates the Emperor’s harem and is swept up in mystery and intrigue. Being an omega with a family full of alphas didn’t stop him from taking part in the family tradition of serving in the military. After years spent protecting the Empire, Li Changyu receives an edict from the Emperor himself demanding his hand in marriage and to become the Nation’s Empress.

As Emperor, Jin Xiyan has a duty to his country and to produce an heir.

Luckily, he’s told of an omega from a notable family that comes from an entire family of only alphas. While this initially feels like a blessing, Jin Xiyan quickly realizes it’s a curse as his new omega bride behaves nothing like an omega.

Shocking! An innocent civil servant was reborn into the body of a swindler, only to be forced by a man to do this sort of thing…

In the feng shui community it was said that Lin Zhushui was omniscient, but now it seemed his only miscalculation was his marriage to Zhou Jiayu.

Zhou Jiayu had a warm nature, thin and tender skin, and soft and brittle bones. He never expected what he worried about the most after his rebirth was to not make a certain someone angry.

Zhou Jiayu: Before I was reborn, I always thought that I would be a staunch socialist successor, until I became a swindler and met a fortune-telling big shot.

Pheromone Recognition Disorder

Interstellar

In the dark and filthy underground city, Huo Xianfeng discovered a special omega.

He is gorgeous, cold, and sharp, like a rose emerging from thorns.

There were more than a dozen wailing alphas lying on the ground, and the beautiful omega was blushing from his turbulent estrus, panting hoarsely.

His silver hair was stained with blood. Disgust and murderous intent surged in his beautiful crimson pupils.

“Do you also want to… mark me?”

Huo Xianfeng, who suffered from Pheromone Recognition Disorder, was surprised——

“Why would you think so? I’m just passing by.”

“.…..”

The beautiful omega was shocked for a moment.

Later, Huo Xianfeng still failed to pass by safely. He was brutally pinned against the wall by the beautiful omega and was forced by the other to mark him.

Huo Xianfeng: “…???”

I’ve never seen such a brazen omega!

The Rescue Of The Tragic Villain Is In Progress

Modern Fantasy, Quick Transmigration

In the novel, apart from a protagonist who occupies all the heavenly fortune, the essential was the powerful tragic villains. They were either amazing or powerful, but due to the crazy obsession with the protagonist, they became paranoid and insane, and finally became the villain that everyone hated.

The authors abused their bodies and their hearts. There was no place to take root and no place to be buried. In the end, they became bitter in life. They did not see the light of day, they were not loved, and they did not know any sweetness. The world hated them, shunned them, and showed them no kindness.

The readers cried a lot and begged the author to give them a good ending and not abuse them. But the unscrupulous authors said: villains, of course, the more miserable the better, the more bitter the better, the more ruthless the better. It is better to break an arm and a leg.

The Retirement Life of a Runaway Desperado

Modern Fantasy, Short

Completed (220)Supernatural (66)Mystery (42)Modern Fantasy (5)

In the remote Oak Town, a broken corpse lay in the bushes. The person who reported this crime was the dream man of the town’s ladies—Mr. Arthur. His graceful and expensive-looking gray coat was dyed with striking stains of blood. The day after the murder, Sheriff Lynn’s records, along with the corpse, disappeared without a trace, only leaving behind the man’s memories which were filled with the smell of blood…

A year later, the details of the crime sank into the dense fog as time passed, but the daughters of the two single fathers grew closer and closer with each passing day. Although Arthur seemed impeccably perfect, his overly forceful actions to conceal something and his great loathing of anyone digging into his secrets made Lynn feel that the other person hated him like he was a reptile.

What Lynn didn’t know was that he and Arthur were unexpectedly very similar—both of them were runaway desperadoes who had given up everything to protect their loved ones.
