1) The Kingdom That Never Sleeps-山河不夜天[穿越]
By MoChenHuan/莫晨欢

Traversing through time to arrive at the ancient times, Tang Shen orignially planned to do some small business to put food on the table and enjoy the rest of his life. However, living cautiously only fulfills settling down, not ambitious pursuits – such as saving the world.

In order for a business to grow larger, more people with food in their bellies, one must become an official – a prominent official.

Tang Shen: I have a dream…
Wang Zhen: En?
Tang Shen: I have a dream, in my dream there is a city that never sleeps, it is called the Nevernight Kingdom.

2) Huan Rong-桓容
By FromAfar/来自远方

Waking up to discover he had transmigrated to the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Huan Rong could bear it.

Although the times were a bit upsetting, at least he was born in high society, and he had no worries about food and clothing. He could still live a pleasant life as a hedonistic son of rich parents.

The problem was that his mother and her love rivals liked to play the pitiful act; his father was ready to rebel at any time; his half-brothers saw him as a pain in the neck and always want to stab him in the back.

Huan Rong wiped at his cold sweat. If he wanted to be a successful hedonistic son then his father must be saved from the rebellious life path!

And thus, the planned life as a hedonistic son was like a wild horse loosened from its reins, galloping off to never return again.

3) After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book-重生两次后我穿回书里了
By WenYuKuan/温瑜宽

After experiencing rebirth twice, Jiang Chen finally discovers that his tragic death in his first life was not an accident. But a meticulous design to forever end a threat.

The main character in the “Life of the Dominator” transmigrated at birth with a “Best Choice System”. In the birth room, System gave him two choices:

“Regular blood related parents” and “Wealthy non-blood related parents”

Without hesitation the main character picked the second choice.

As a result, System secretly switched Jiang Chen with the main character the second after birth.

The life afterwards, everything turned on its head.

Relying on System, the main character graduated from a top student to a major player who will eventually inherit the family business, fixed permanently on life winner mode.

Jiang Chen on the other hand was faced with a family emergency, his grades suffering dramatically to the point he could only give up his earlier dreams and graduate early to earn money to support his family.

Time flies and Jiang Chen’s career took off, once again entering the sight of the main character. What comes next however, is death by car crash and transmigration to the interstellar age.

In the 100th year of the astronomic calendar, scientific research bigshot woke up one morning and realized he returned to the second year of high school in his first life. When his father was recently handicapped from a car accident and his mother carrying all of the burden without a hint of complaint.

Jiang Chen did not choose to first find his blood related parents but used the knowledge he gained from the past two lifetimes to break through his bad situation and achieve the summit.

In a word: Professor Jiang, a man who can tear up a system plug-in with his bare hands.

However, during a party, he slept with another in a muddleheaded state.

After his death, Chen Zhen discovers that he is only a malicious antagonist character in a book – the protgonist being Qin Yue’s true love, the person who directly caused his death with an innocent facade.

He had believed that being kicked out of the Qin family was because of his drunken mistake when in actuality the whole situation was part of Qin Yue’s true love’s scheme.

In this life, Chen Zhen returned to the day after his drunken mistake. With the opportunity of rebirth and starting over, he decides to keep far away from the main protagonist couple and instead ride the coattails of the head of the Qin family.

In order to promote the development of the plot and the romantic progress of the hero and the heroine, he spent time and effort diligently, and was finally completely defeated by the hero before the finale. But after the plot ended, Cheng Yu was reborn. Tired of the original plot line, he decided to go on a strike.

Summary 2:
At the beginning, Cheng Yu joined the entertainment circle, just wanting to gain some popularity and national recognition so that he could create his own jewelry brand. Then Cheng Yu found out that he had miscalculated. Because after the debut of domestic idols, there was simply no mature stage platform at all! Seeing a bunch of pitifuls who love to sing and dance forced to switch careers to become actors or simply retreat from entertainment due to lack of stage——

As a villain, Cheng Yu naturally believed that it was not his choice that was wrong, but the world. As a result, the villain could no longer take it and decided to spend a lot of money to build a platform of his own.

Two things to announce on the agenda^^

1) Membership tiers for Ko-fi are here! I will now be uploading locked posts for members! Higher tiers can access posts for lower tiers. Old monthly subscribers can choose to remain unchanged or officially join a membership tier. I have 3 tiers set up for now and they line up with how many advanced chapters can be accessed at that tier ie: Tier 1 = 1 advanced chapter for Cruel Tyrant, Bird Dude, Back To Ming, and Vicious Cannon Fodder, Tier 2 = 2 advanced chapters for CT, BD, BtM, and VCF, Tier 3 = 3 advanced chapters for CT, BD, BtM, and VCF. As you may have noticed, I will now only be doing advanced chapters for these 4 novels instead of all 6 novels. Supporter posts will now only include 1 early access chapter for a random 2 novels.

2) On Discord, I have uploaded several untranslated BL recs with their summaries translated by me. As Bird Dude is nearly finished being translated, I am now thinking whether to add more public updates to my current TL projects OR hold a vote for the novel that you guys want me to take up translating in its place. For those of you who would rather I add more public updates to my existing TL projects, leave a comment on this post. For those who are interested in the second option, please go to my Discord and place a thumbs up emoji on the novel you have chosen. You guys have until Bird Dude’s last chapter is uploaded (which is in a little over two months, at the end of October, or sooner😉) to make your decision! I will then listen to the majority!^^
