After dying in the zombie apocalypse, Ren Xiyang inexplicably transmigrates into the body of a villainess in a het BG romantic fantasy novel.

Ren Xiyang: “…”

Following the villainess’s script and acting as a side character in the female lead’s story? How irresponsible.

After dying from the plague-curse, the Crown Prince Rian Azure learns that he is only a side character in a romantic fantasy novel. When he wakes up before it all happens…

Rian Azure: “!!!”

Letting the plague-curse devastate his kingdom again? Not if he can do something about it!

The female lead Cassiopeia Schauss can do whatever she wants. These two side characters don’t have time to care: they have more important things to do! This is a farming and fief-building BL now ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

Dao of The Salted Fish

Boys Love, Cultivation, Xianxia, Fluff, Slice of Life

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

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

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

And meditation = cultivation…

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

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

Feat: slow build / slice of life~

Kai has been drifting through life, working himself to the bone and lacking warmth in his life. And then he meets Khánh, to whom sharing food and spending time together with a stranger makes perfect sense. One good deed deserves another.

Fire Burning

Tapas | AO3 | Scribble Hub

Boys Love, Avatar-style Elemental Powers, Trans Male MC

Khai suppresses his fire, pretends to be who he’s not. For when people look at Khai, they see a girl named Mai. The worst is his own adoptive aunt, who would only allow him to learn healing and not combat.

After achieving his healer licence, he heads to the big city of Taesu, still pretending to be a girl, but away from his aunt’s eyes. Khai ends up meeting Quy, another young man who looks very much alike. Under Quy’s pressuring, Khai agrees to be Quy’s body-double, ““pretend”” to be a guy, and to attend Baashi University.

A university, as it turns out, that has the administration-sanctioned tradition of compulsory fighting between the students. However, Khai has more than just one secret...

Contains: A transguy-in-the-closet who has to “pretend” to be a guy, i.e. "crossdressing” trope subversion.

Kian Yang and Lawrence Qin were long-time friends. They grew up in the same neighbourhood, went to the same schools, both differentiated as omegas. And now, they were flatmates while attending the same university.

Kian had always felt he was ordinary. He thought he’d be a beta; instead, became a plain omega. His scent was so faint, he could almost do without a pheromone blocker. Lawrence was the one who was beautiful and smart.

If Lawrence knew Kian’s thoughts, he would disagree. Stars knew just how much work he put in to scare away pesky suitors!

Years ago, during their university years, Pei Yichen and Yun Zimo were good friends and flatmates.

But before Pei Yichen could express any of his feelings—about forming a company together, about maybe trying to be together—Yun Zimo moved out with his new boyfriend, the white moonlight in his heart.

They agreed to keep in touch, but life took over for both of them.

It was five years later when they saw each other again.

And Pei Yichen’s cold heart ached when he saw Yun Zimo’s tears.

“Come back with me.”

“Do you still like me?”
