Devoted Love Interests

A Lifetime’s Glance, A Year’s End

If you were to meet someone, once a surgeon. At thirteen, he and your mother were both rescued in the same hospital, but unexpectedly, six or seven years later, he lost his hearing. No longer able to perform surgery, he picked up books instead and became an ordinary university teacher.

If he, like you, had a mother who abandoned him, and a father he could never speak of. If he lost his health in the process of a nationwide effort to save lives. If he loved you…

“To have Gu Pingsheng, my life holds no regrets.”

It’s just the story of two rather unfortunate souls warming each other.

A lifetime of loyalty to her clan and its leader earned her nothing but false accusations of espionage and the death of her family.

At the brink of despair, Sehwa experiences a miracle.

“So, what do you think of this proposal?”

She opens her eyes to find herself back at the very moment she was betrothed to the man she admired.

The same man who, despite her unwavering trust, had mercilessly poured poison down her throat.

Determined to avoid the tragic path she once walked, Sehwa chooses a different, yet equally thorny, road.

“I will go to the Baek Clan. But please, rescind the order for me to be betrothed to the Young Lord.”

She seeks refuge with the very man she had considered her enemy all her life—the only one who can now offer her salvation.

In the eyes of the world, Lotus is the perfect daughter of a prestigious family. After a trip to a museum, she finds herself transported a thousand years back in time to an ancient kingdom, where she awakens as a statue of the river goddess in a temple.

After three days and nights trapped in stone, Lotus meets Alyuin, the exiled daughter of the former king. The little girl looks up, her gaze stubborn and silent.

This legendary woman from the kingdom’s history, a goddess of the battlefield who fought her entire life only to be poisoned just before claiming the throne, is now nothing more than a seemingly withdrawn but adorable young princess.

Lotus: Hmm, kind of cute.

Exiled to a remote temple by her uncle, Alyuin believes she faces a bleak future. Gazing up at the statue, she thinks to herself: If gods truly exist, then please appear before me.

That very night, a goddess enters her dreams and reaches out a hand, sealing a lifetime of faith.

The young princess kneels before the statue, bowing her head in devotion. “I will forever revere you, believe in you, never betray you, and never blaspheme. In the name of Alyuin, I swear this vow to you!”

Ten years later, she is the one who lifts the statue’s cold, stone wrist to her lips for a kiss, sighing in a low, irrepressible voice, “Forgive my offense, my eternal goddess and my beloved. You are the only one I could never let go of.”

Lotus: What happened to the ‘adorable’ one???

This legend of the ancient queen and the goddess she was bound to will become the most magnificent chapter where myth and history intertwine, passed down for a thousand years, forever and ever.

As a despised, assault-type guide, Lin Yuan had a fiancé matched to her by the state. Her fiancé came from a distinguished family, was handsome, wealthy, and well-mannered, making him the envy of many.

“Why was such an excellent partner assigned to her? She can’t even pass tea ceremony, and her culinary skills only earned a ‘B’.”

“He’ll get tired of her sooner or later.”

“Exactly, they’re bound to break up.”

Hearing such words often, Lin Yuan also felt that she and Jiang Yangshuo were bound to break up. So, when her fiancé showed up with a gentle and lovely young woman, she didn’t hesitate. She took off her engagement ring and tossed it into the drain right in front of them.

From then on, Lin Yuan lived a free and unrestrained life, like a bird soaring in the sky and a fish leaping in the sea.

Who knew that after a few years of carefree wandering, at a certain royal banquet, her ex-fiancé cornered her, his eyes red, saying he regretted everything these past years and that he was consumed with longing for her.

No, no, no, thank you, please don’t. Lin Yuan, who had grown accustomed to her freedom, didn’t want to return to her old life at all.

Her ex-fiancé’s face turned livid, and he gritted his teeth, “I don’t mind your type, and I can try to tolerate your shortcomings as much as possible. You can’t find a sentinel who will indulge you more than I do.”

“Well, about that, I already have a new sentinel.” To get rid of the entanglement completely, Lin Yuan randomly blurted out a name as a shield. She quickly ran through the images of the sentinels she had met on the battlefield these past few years, and chose the name of a brother with whom she had shared life-and-death situations. She figured that he wouldn’t mind.

“He just happens to be the receptive type, which is perfect for me, and he really likes me. He doesn’t care about any of my flaws.”

As soon as she saw off her distraught ex-fiancé, Lin Yuan turned around and bumped into the man she had just fabricated a story about.

The man who had killed countless enemies on the battlefield and earned extraordinary merits had a faint blush on his handsome face, turned his head away, and whispered, “You… when did you know I liked you?”

Lin Yuan: “…”

For eons, Blue Star existed alone in a corner of the universe. Though it lacked the ability to traverse the cosmos, its people held infinite dreams of the starry sky.

Then one day, dozens of starships warped into existence, hovering above the planet.

From that day forward, the evolution of Blue Star began.

Amid this thrilling evolution that everyone longed for, Blue Star, a world rich with its own religions, myths, and legends of immortal heroes, fantasy, and magic, discovered with astonishment that the direction of humanity’s evolution was… ABO.

And so, for this planet long dominated by a patriarchal society, all worldviews were shattered, collapsing only to be rebuilt anew.

In a stormy, rainy night, Banxia takes in a small, battered lizard that crawled into her house through the window. To care for it, she accidentally spends all her savings, nearly leaving herself without breakfast the next morning.

From then on, every morning, she is astonished to find her home spotless and a steaming hot breakfast waiting on the table.

One day, the magical little lizard suddenly disappears. Worried, Banxia ventures into the rain to search for it, only to find a drenched man in a bamboo grove, scales still visible on his ankles.

The man lies in pain among the bamboo leaves, covering his face with pale fingers, his voice low and trembling, “Don’t come near me. Don’t look at me…”

Banxia respects his words and stays by his side, shielding him from the storm all night with her umbrella.

She doesn’t want to see him weep in winter’s cold again. She cannot bear to let him flee, scarred and broken, into a lonely world. In a world where true understanding is rare, without him, no one else could stand by her side.

Tang Qiu, a celebrated award-winning actress with legions of adoring fans, woke up one day to discover she had transmigrated.

She had not only swapped bodies but also swapped “careers,” becoming a lowly cleric a position envied by the masses but actually fraught with extreme danger.

Tang Qiu: “Can I resign?”

Church Priest: “No. Once you have accepted the Baptism of Light, you are a faithful believer of the Goddess of Light for life.”

It appeared that being a cleric was a lifetime binding contract.

Tang Qiu had molded herself into all manners of characters, but this was her first time playing a cleric. Although difficult, it was also highly challenging. She readily accepted her new identity. Yet, just as she was actively plotting how to perform this role to perfection, she never imagined that she was bound to more than just this one profession…

Tang Qiu: “It is truly rare to find a Vampire who enjoys masquerading as a human.”

Lucille: “A certain cleric who transforms and pounces on people every full moon has no standing to make such remarks.”

Tang Qiu smiled. “I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

Pei You ordered a “top-tier girlfriend,” as advertised by the vendor, online, preparing to bring her to a party.

She planned to flaunt her “affection” with the fake girlfriend, making her ex-girlfriend present at the party green with envy.

The fake girlfriend was very beautiful, with a curvy figure.

She had a pair of charming, alluring eyes and two cute dimples.

Innocent yet regal, truly top-tier—

If only she wasn’t her ex-girlfriend.

Pei You sarcastically remarked: “You’ve fallen this low?”

Huo Yichi responded nonchalantly: “Trying to make me envious?”

Su Lingyue was the treasured pearl of the Su family, notorious for her capricious and overbearing temperament, acting with unbridled willfulness. According to rumors from that sophomore year summer camp, she had publicly humiliated Ji Zhiyi in front of their classmates, calling her a beggar who was unworthy of sharing the same tent. Not long after returning to school, Ji Zhiyi quietly processed her withdrawal papers and disappeared without a trace. Many classmates speculated that she couldn’t bear the emotional trauma, shaking their heads in sympathy and regret.

Years later, the Su Group underwent a sudden transformation—the company split in two, with half remaining in the Su family’s hands and half falling into Ji Zhiyi’s possession. Along with the company shares, Su Lingyue also fell under Ji Zhiyi’s authority.

Everyone suspected Ji Zhiyi had come seeking revenge, eagerly waiting to witness Su Lingyue’s downfall. Su Lingyue herself shared this belief.

On the day she brought Su Lingyue home, Ji Zhiyi personally designed a pair of princess shoes. Socialites in their circle buzzed with excitement, all vying to purchase them at premium prices. As the shoes’ value soared to astronomical heights, Ji Zhiyi retrieved them from their display case at the company’s annual gathering. Under everyone’s astonished gaze, she knelt down and, with meticulous care, placed them on Su Lingyue’s feet.

A sharp-tongued, prideful Guide daughter of a Grand Duke and her silent Sentinel bodyguard, a woman of action and few words, are stranded together on a deserted island, where the path to survival proves as arduous as it is mortifying, and as deeply embarrassing as it is transformative.

Hua Mu is physically helpless, incapable of the simplest labor. Her only means of keeping Bai Zhen, her fiercely loyal wolf of a Sentinel, in line is the one asset she still possesses: her long-neglected Guide abilities.
