This story follows the journey of an individual known as "the fifth," who transitions from a rural village to the vibrant, yet sometimes daunting, urban landscape. Initially driven by the fundamental need to find a partner, the fifth's path leads them to the bustling atmosphere of a night market.

Working alongside the pragmatic "Li sister" at a barbecue stall, the fifth immerses themselves in the demanding rhythm of city life. However, the energy of the night market cannot fully eclipse the weight of their past and the lingering memories of a woman named "Mei." Fragmented recollections and a sense of helplessness intertwine with the present realities of labor and the search for connection in a new world.

As the fifth navigates the challenges and encounters of their new urban existence, the contrast between their rural roots and city aspirations becomes increasingly apparent. This is a tale of seeking love and stability amidst the bright lights and hidden burdens of urban life, where the past casts long shadows on the present.

Mission, that rogue thing that only knows how to take, finally fell on the head of the transfer student.

#Super-stunning, radiant beauty Nan Zheng & Uncontrollable, rough blacksmith Lu Cheng# [Both are virgins] In a deserted, secluded alley, the man was like a raging beast, veins bulging on his neck, his hand tightening around her slender waist. Nan Zheng chuckled softly, seemingly oblivious to the pain, her delicate white hand rising and slipping under his clothes, pressing against his lower abdomen as she moved downwards. Unable to bear her slow, languid torment, the man pressed her down, not daring to let her move an inch. The skin beneath her palm was burning hot, every muscle tense. Nan Zheng gently hooked her finger, feeling his body instantly stiffen, her smile becoming even more alluring. "Seven years have passed, and your willpower hasn't improved at all?" "I thought you'd never come back, but it turns out just a wrong message made you lose your mind." "You couldn't even sit still when you heard I was going on a blind date. What would you do if you saw me kissing someone else?" Seeing the man's jawline tighten and the veins on his temples bulge, Nan Zheng wasn't satisfied. "Since you're back, get your red envelopes ready. Maybe next time we meet, I'll be the one delivering your invitation."

Aihara, who suffers from visual impairment, inherited the Feng Shui Hall left by his second uncle. He uses fortune telling to help his customers overcome difficulties and get on the right path in life.

Years later, he became a renowned master of fortune telling, but the sudden barrage of criticism from the media enraged him.

"I've run this shop for so many years and I've never seen any monster. You're just spouting nonsense! Open your eyes and look at this beautiful young lady next to me. Is she a monster? She's such a delicate and lovely girl, so pitiful to behold. She's in the prime of her youth. How could she possibly be a monster?"

Faced with unfounded accusations from the world, Aihara stood with the beautiful girl beside him: "You can slander me, but you can't tarnish my profession, and you certainly can't insult my customers!"

The crowd trembled as they looked up at the colossal dragon with the bronze mask coiled around him. None of them had ever seen such an ancient and ferocious creature, like ants looking up at a god.

"Dude, are you blind? We didn't see any little girl, we only saw a giant dragon! This is a dragon, for crying out loud, it has absolutely nothing to do with being delicate and cute!"

Blood and death filled this land,

The dark clouds of war are floating in the sky over the city,

Gray, the devil incarnate, lingers in the shadow of the city.

He is weak, very weak...

Extraordinary, strange, divine,

The Golden Man, the Sinner, and the Corrupt Original Government,

"I offer you everything I have for your protection."

"allow."

Under the protection of the moody Blake and the mentally unstable Wenda, Gray is safe, temporarily.

"Give fear and death to everyone, and the Lord of Darkness will surely come to the world!" Blake said.

With death all around us, how long can even the calmest and most easy-going person remain normal? This world has gone mad long ago!

(Boring, the author wants to see rivers of blood!)

Villain story, dark story, contains bloody and violent plots, do not read if you don't like it, urban story, no CP tendency (maybe), friendship (?

Mainly the killing group Shashasha and the like.

(The author is a bit crazy, so it's normal for the characters to be crazy, right? The author is not a little devil.)

[This novel will be available for purchase on April 14th (this Sunday), with a 10,000-word update!] [Recommended completed novel in my column] [My new novel, "Meeting My Childhood Friend at the Winery," is now available; please check it out!] The following is the synopsis: After several cycles of time travel, Matsuda discovers that, for some reason, his former colleagues always seem to call him before they die. Matsuda remembers that in his first cycle, his childhood friend died in an explosion while calling him. He himself died in an explosion four years later. When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself back to the moment before his childhood friend's accident, kicking away his friend's lunchbox with a flying kick. Four years later, his lunchbox doesn't arrive as promised, but another dear colleague calls him: "Matsuta, I have something I need to give to Zero, but my current situation is rather complicated, and I don't dare contact Zero directly. I don't have anyone else I can trust. Could you please pass it on to Zero in a few days?" Matsuda: "?" And so he hears the entire story of his good colleague's death. In the blink of an eye, it was a new loop. Morofushi called him. Matsuda: "Don't speak yet, let me speak." Morofushi: "?" Matsuda: "Hiro-danna, you've been exposed. Do you need me to save you?" Morofushi: "???" How did you know that?? In another loop, Date called, and he indeed heard about a car accident. Opening his eyes again, it was another new loop. "Class Boss," Matsuda said with practiced ease, "Wait for me to come save you." Date: "...?" What happened to him? How come he didn't know? Matsuda: "Don't worry, I'm good at saving people."... After receiving numerous deathbed calls, Matsuda thought he would develop PTSD. However, in reality, Matsuda went from initial shock to gradual numbness. After all, watching those people live and die before his eyes, even coming back to life after death, he didn't find it so terrifying anymore. After all, receiving a death call meant he could restart and save people—why not? Of the five of them, excluding himself, three had called him before they died. Matsuda was just one police academy top student away from getting a death sentence, and he figured that if nothing unexpected happened, that guy would make him a last-minute call. So, one day, after receiving a call from that blond jerk, Matsuda's first words were: "Are you going to die? If you're not dead yet, then I'm hanging up." Furuya: "???" This guy is hoping for his death, isn't he?? Warning: The plot mainly focuses on Matsuda and the other members of the police academy group. Everyone else is equal and doesn't have much screen time; it's not that any particular group is being neglected. Qi Zai is just a background character; only Qi Shen appears. This story is a [loop] [reincarnation] [multiple cycles] type of story, and there will be multiple instances where people can't be saved. The characters' intelligence is limited by the author's intelligence, so please don't criticize the characters. I will revise the story irregularly. If there are any bugs or retconnings, please point them out, and I will make corrections (I won't care if it's intentional). —The following is the synopsis of the new story— Hagiwara died, and Hagiwara was resurrected. But when Hagiwara woke up, he found himself on November 8th—the day after his childhood friend died. The news replays on TV and the piles of unread text messages on his phone nearly overwhelmed him. Even worse, several of his other close friends subsequently died. Hagiwara gritted his teeth and signed another contract with System 996, who had resurrected him, sending him back to the past. Unfortunately, the earliest possible return time was November 8th, the day he woke up; he couldn't save his childhood friend. But to save his remaining friends, Hagiwara made a decision—in this life, he would go undercover at the distillery. = Matsuda died, and then Matsuda was resurrected. He not only lost all his memories but also became a high school student! System 007, who was joking with him, declared righteously: Only a high school student can save the world! So, go save the world, my host! 007 also identified the source of everything as an extra bottle of whiskey in the distillery and hoped Matsuda would approach him to uncover the truth. With 007's assistance, Matsuda successfully infiltrated the distillery and met the extra bottle of whiskey. —But why does this bottle of whiskey give him a strange sense of familiarity? And 007 tells him that this bottle of whiskey represents his childhood friend who should have died. = After encountering his childhood friend at the distillery, Hagiwara and Matsuda are very puzzled as to why the other is alive and present at the distillery, and they consult with their system. 996: It must be an evil organization that took Matsuda away on the Ferris wheel, creating the illusion of his death and erasing his memory, causing you, host, to be widowed for three years! 007: It must be an evil organization that took Hagiwara away before the explosion, creating the illusion of his death and erasing his memory, causing you, host, to be a widow for four years! Hagiwara and Matsuda think this makes a lot of sense, so they secretly vow: I will definitely take my childhood friend away from this damned organization! Theme: There will be times when you ride the waves, and you must save your true friend yourself.
