There, he hunts, tames, and evolves monstrous beasts that persist beyond his dreams…Registered as an E-Rank Titled with D-Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant.Yet the Lord Of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary means.As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and the Gates themselves.His past refuses to stay buried. His beasts grow more dangerous. And the truth behind his title hints at something far older and far more terrifying than anyone realises.In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom.But as Lord Of Beasts, it's only a matter of time before he reaches the top!P.S.

“Substitute” is an ABO dog-blooded stand-in essay. The heroine Shu Jin is the substitute girlfriend of a certain scumbag boss. After being tortured by the scumbag boss and Bai Yueguang to a serious illness, Shu Jin was tired and decided to give up. .
After leaving the scumbag, Shu Jin cut off love and love, developed her career all the way, and perfectly completed the gorgeous turn from a poor double to a rich woman.
Later, when faced with Boss Ba’s remorse and confession, Shu Jin even lashed out.
You didn’t want it when my old lady was upside down, but now you are acting like chasing a wife and crematorium with me!
Until the end of the novel, Shu Jin never forgave the scumbag. Instead, she is beautiful alone in the life of a rich woman.
This article…well, Shen Yilan quite likes to read it.
Then? Then she wore it, and she became the aunt Long Aotian who was the scumbag in the book.
…
Looking at the heroine who was crying pear blossoms and raining in front of her, Shen Yilan couldn’t help but walked up to her and asked her, “Are you okay?”

Shen Lintian is a scumbag.
Bai Yueguang cheated first, and threatened Shu Jin to pretend to be his girlfriend to help deal with his sister-in-law after they broke up.
Arriving at home as promised, Shu Jin found out that Shen Lintian’s sister-in-law in front of her was not the sister who gave her sweets?

At night, Shu Jin quietly pushed open the door of Shen Yilan’s room, and asked in a low voice, “Are you asleep?”
Change the timid appearance at the dinner table.
She dresses very boldly.
But Shen Yilan was unmoved, “Why are you here again?”
“The air conditioner in my room is broken. Come to your place for a night.”
Shen Yilan frowned: “What about Lintian?”
Shu Jin lowered her eyes, her eyes were about to cry, “Probably at Bai Yueguang’s place.”
Shen Yilan thought about the poor stand-in heroine in the book, and sighed, “Come in.”
Shu Jin followed good advice and thought to herself, just as she guessed, this woman Shen Yilan is easier to deal with than she imagined.
Shen Lintian cheated on Bai Yueguang first, so don’t blame me for picking on your sister-in-law, I want to be your aunt! Shu Jin’s heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge.
However……
After she fell asleep in Shen Yilan’s arms again until she woke up naturally, Shu Jin murmured wonderingly: “Shen Yilan, can’t you?”

Later, when Shen Lintian repented and wanted to get Shu Jin back, Shu Jin hesitated.
Shen Yilan was very angry, she didn’t understand why there was any hesitation.
But Shu Jin is more fierce than her——
“What can I do without considering Shen Lintian! You can’t!”
Shen Yilan: “…I can’t?”
“Are you okay? You don’t even eat an omega when my mother delivers it to your door, are you okay?”
Shen Yilan: “…”
Then?
Then Shen Yilan directly pulled him to the bedroom, and said seriously: “I can do it.”
Shu Jin:? !

- Description from novelbuddy

Ren Suo has acquired a special game console by chance. By using it, Ren finds that the events in games he play will actually happen in reality after he beats them. In addition, he could also learn skills from the games to enhance himself.“So, from Graes City to the base camp, we can only take the car through the mountain road, right?”“Of course,”“Then...that person is...”About a hundred meters away, they saw a figure with long, blonde hair running swiftly through the mountains. Slopes and scattered rocks were no obstacles to her—it was as if she was parkouring.

She, the second daughter of the Bluen consortium, a figure of envy among the rich second generation. No matter who she mentioned, they were all figures that others flocked towards. However, her boyfriend was getting married, but she was not the bride. She, who had always been so noble and lofty, was cruelly abandoned.He, the CEO of Valence Group, the intimidating young master of the Horne family and a prime example of the rich second generation. Little did people know, his bride ran away on the day he planned to register for marriage. He too, was cruelly abandoned.Laughably so, He was her soon-to-be brother-in-law.Seeing her angry and lonely future brother-in-law, she suddenly jeered, “We both have been abandoned. We would make a perfect pair.”He pursed his lips in silence.The next day, he took her to the Civil Affairs Office to go through the marriage registration process, having her replace her runaway sister as his bride.(Declaration of Ownership Chapter)“Julia, I now realize that I have always loved you. Do you know that I think of you all the time? I married her just so I could have a secure footing in the company.” Her ex-boyfriend, gripping her hand, whispered this soft confession of his misguided actions in the past.Before she could react, a strong hand appeared out of nowhere, fiercely grasping her ex-boyfriend's wrist. He cried out in pain, causing a stir among the guests at the wine party.He stood by her side, one arm draped across her shoulders, gently and passionately smiling while saying, “Wife, tell him, who am I to you?”Gazing at his handsome appearance, noble aura, and two bodyguards following him, her ex-boyfriend's face quickly drained of color, as if he had just realized something.(Cherishing Her Chapter)“Young master, the young mistress said something strange today.” The housekeeper, trailing behind him, was reporting her daily activities.“What did she say?”“The young mistress said she wonders if snow flying in June would be beautiful.” The housekeeper finished his report and carefully observed his reaction. After all, how could it be possible for there to be falling snow in the scorching heat of June?Once again, he pursed his lips in silence, then silently went upstairs.The next day.As soon as she stepped out of the main house, she was stunned. The sunrise filled the high sky while the expansive courtyard was covered in white snow. It was a vast expanse of white, as if it were midwinter, and countless snowflakes were dancing in the sky. The snowstorm was of extreme beauty.
