My head hurts so much...
Luo Wei struggled to open his eyes and found himself in a brightly lit mansion illuminated by countless candles.
Where is this?
He immediately looked around and discovered he was in a vast hall large enough to fit several classrooms, with luxurious decorations that made it look like a palace.
Evelyn should have brought me to her home in the Lower District, but are there really buildings like this in that area?
Luo Wei pondered to himself, thinking that even though she was a vampire lady who had fallen to living in the slums, she still refused to compromise on her living conditions...
Come to think of it, although he was straight, he could tell that Evelyn never skimped on her daily necessities - her clothes and bags were all custom-made by hand.
Finally, he understood where all her money went, no wonder she always complained about being poor...
After waking up, Luo Wei rubbed his still somewhat dizzy head and stood up.
He was surprised that Evelyn hadn't tied him up like Helena did - wasn't she worried he might run away?
But he soon realized he had overthought it.
Because within this spacious hall, numerous tall, dark blood servants were wandering about.
When they noticed him awake, they merely glanced in his direction before lowering their heads and continuing their patrol.
Evelyn must have given them specific instructions.
As long as he didn't try to escape, they wouldn't attack him.
Luo Wei also discovered that he had been searched - even the small items hidden in his undergarments had been taken by Evelyn, let alone his shoulder bag and revolver.
Perhaps this was why she hadn't bothered to tie him up, instead just leaving him casually in the living room.
Against those patrolling blood servants, without his Mithril Bullets, he probably couldn't even defeat one of them...
Luo Wei carefully navigated between the blood servants until he saw a door - the only open door in the entire hall.
A strong smell of blood wafted from inside, piquing his curiosity.
Luo Wei cautiously glanced at the blood servants; they paid him no attention.
So he quietly entered.
It was a secret room, about the same size as Evelyn's office. When he entered, all the flames flickered slightly.
In the flickering light, Luo Wei finally saw what secrets were hidden inside.
Five deathly pale, emaciated humans were tied to connected hospital beds. Their arms were covered in countless needle marks, so dense that some had turned black and festering. Beside each of them stood a cold glass container - empty now but showing traces of dried blood.
Luo Wei suddenly heard a barely audible moan and hurried over.
The sound came from a woman who was so thin she was almost unrecognizable. It took Luo Wei a while to realize she was the last missing student - the unfortunate senior who had been captured while studying late at the library.
She lay with her eyes closed, occasionally furrowing her brow as if having a nightmare, making soft whimpering sounds.
Then she fell back into peaceful slumber.
These people were the five students from the campus disappearance cases.
So they weren't dead after all, but were being kept here as something like "blood bags" or "food storage."
"Teacher sure knows how to enjoy life, quite the perfectionist..." Luo Wei muttered to himself.
Vampires couldn't eat human food - the only thing they could consume was blood.
However, Evelyn, being appearance-obsessed, only drank the blood of beautiful people...
What about the ugly ones?
Luo Wei glanced back at the blood servants - could that be what happened to the ugly ones?
What a looks-obsessed society this is...
"Of course teacher is particular about these things~"
Suddenly, Evelyn's voice appeared behind him like a ghost.
Luo Wei was startled.
Turning around, he saw that Evelyn had fully recovered. She was wearing a pure white nightgown and gazing at him lazily.
"You should be able to tell that teacher only likes beautiful things. After all, I am an artist~"
"An artist?" Luo Wei asked puzzledly.
"An artist of blood!" Evelyn declared as crimson blood energy surrounded her body.
She raised her swan-like neck gracefully and made an elegant turn, like a step from a waltz, with the blood energy forming what looked like a swirling skirt.
The Evelyn before him appeared like a princess born between pure white and crimson, possessing an otherworldly beauty.
Evelyn noticed Luo Wei staring intently at her and curved her lips into a satisfied smile.
She extended her hand, seemingly inviting Luo Wei.
Luo Wei hesitated for a moment.
But then an invisible force pulled him forward, forcing him to hold Evelyn's slender waist.
"Hey, I don't know how to dance!"
"Aren't you worried I'll step on your feet?"
"Then learn!" Evelyn glared at him. "There will be plenty of social occasions in the future where you'll need to do this. I don't want those ugly, greasy men taking advantage of me - from now on, you'll be my only dance partner!"
"Uh..." Luo Wei looked at her helplessly as she forced him to spin around with her.
While learning to dance, a huge question formed in his mind.
It seemed Evelyn didn't plan to use him as "food storage," and earlier that butler Annie had also said some cryptic things...
So what exactly did Evelyn want to do?
"Teacher... you're not planning to turn me into a vampire too, are you?" Luo Wei asked tentatively.
Evelyn smiled and corrected him: "Not vampire - member of the noble Vampire Clan!"
Luo Wei frowned - wasn't that the same thing?
While thinking, Luo Wei, who completely lacked any artistic sense for dancing, became increasingly clumsy and even stepped on her foot.
"You're so clumsy!" She sighed and let go of his hands.
"No more dancing! You're like a wooden block. I'll train you later," she muttered. "We'll have plenty of time in the future anyway."
But Luo Wei stood frozen in place, feeling a strong sense of rejection inside.
Vampire...
Who the hell wants to be a vampire?
Although... vampires have long lives, beautiful appearances, mysterious powers, and even have ancient vampire ancestors to back them up when they get in trouble...
But still!
Vampires have no sense of taste! They can't eat and drink freely!
Soy milk, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, braised pork, pork belly, preserved vegetable pork... no wait, in this world it would be cream of mushroom soup, seafood pasta, and fluffy bread with pork floss... if he became a vampire, he would never be able to taste any of these things again!
Probably everything would taste like chewing wax to a vampire, or even make them feel sick.
What would be the point of living then?
Isn't living all about eating?

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!

for mindless slaughter, this isn't for you.] My name is Ye Shu, and I'm a transmigrator. It seems I'm supposed to be the protagonist, but that feels pretty unlikely. This world has been invaded by a system. The antagonists on the other side have suddenly become pure, flawless saints. The female leads have been force-fed the so-called "original plot," making them think they've been reborn. Now, everyone thinks I'm scum. Including the old lady in my ring. And here I am, in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, braising pork. To put my situation in perspective— It's as if, the moment Xiao Yan stepped into the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the Soul Emperor already knew he would become the Flame Emperor, and Yao Lao had been turned to the enemy's side. I have nothing right now. Oh wait, that's not true. I do have a white-haired loli child-bride who's the Heavenly Dao, and her only skill is acting cute. So, tell me guys... what are my chances of making it to the end?

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
