"Young Master, why are there so many red dots on your neck?" When Yu Nai heard this, he immediately lowered his head. Indeed, spots were still scattered on the surface, and his face couldn't help but turn black. Lan Feng's face was calm. He stepped forward and naturally helped Nai to straighten her slightly opened collar. With an indifferent tone, he said, "It's nothing. There are many mosquitoes in the secret realm."

You said: If you had to choose again, you'd rather never see me. You say: If you had loved me again, you would never have loved me. You said: You regret knowing me. If we could start all over again and let you choose to love again, wouldn't we be as miserable as we are today? Good! I promise you. I'll give you a chance to start over and just pretend you and I didn't know each other.

Religious freedom is a founding tenet of the United States, and it has frequently been used to justify policies towards other nations. Such was the case in 1945 when Americans occupied Japan following World War II. Though the Japanese constitution had guaranteed freedom of religion since 1889, the United States declared that protection faulty, and when the occupation ended in 1952, they claimed to have successfully replaced it with “real” religious freedom. Through a fresh analysis of pre-war Japanese law, Jolyon Baraka Thomas demonstrates that the occupiers’ triumphant narrative obscured salient Japanese political debates about religious freedom. Indeed, Thomas reveals that American occupiers also vehemently disagreed about the topic. By reconstructing these vibrant debates, Faking Liberties unsettles any notion of American authorship and imposition of religious freedom. Instead, Thomas shows that, during the Occupation, a dialogue about freedom of religion ensued that constructed a new global set of political norms that continue to form policies today.

As an experienced surgeon, Tang Yue went to the living room and worked in the kitchen. As soon as he teleported, his job was gone, his house was gone, his money was gone, even his boyfriend who had just caught up with him was also gone. Fortunately, he was a decathlon, so he was able to win his grandmother's heart. He was able to arouse his father's love, wake his stepmother's heart, and deal with this little girl was a piece of cake. Wait a minute, what's going on with this man? It was impossible for patients and doctors to have true love! "You are so virtuous that This King wishes to take you as his wife." "Hire?" "Alright then, since you can't take advantage of the money, you can't have a concubine at home, you can't go to bed without washing your feet, you can't kiss without brushing your teeth, and if you want to have special services, you have to hand over all your property first. What do you say?" "Good!"

In his previous life, Ye Zi had died miserably and lived once again. Ye Zi had decided to take revenge, but now he had to think about how to live a good life with his grandfather, trying to make his grandfather proud as a straight-A student, and also save up the capital to fight back against his former enemies. Ye Zi glanced at the golden thighs that were silently reaching over. He wasn't going to give them up. Was he ready to charge into the fray? Tang Lingqiu opened her arms wide: "You little leaf, come and give it a try ~" His golden fingers were thick and his golden thighs were as thick. In reality, this was a warm piece of modern rebirth script.

Real musicians don’t sign autographs, date models, or fly in private jets. They spend their lives in practice rooms and basement clubs or toiling in the obscurity of coffee-shop gigs, casino jobs, and the European festival circuit. The ten linked stories in Power Ballads are devoted to this unheard virtuoso: the working musician. From the wings of sold-out arenas to hip-hop studios to polka bars, these stories are born out of a nocturnal world where music is often simply work, but also where it can, in rare moments, become a source of grace and transcendence, speaking about the things we never seem to say to each other. A skilled but snobby jazz drummer joins a costumed heavy metal band to pay his rent. A country singer tries to turn her brutal past into a successful career. A vengeful rock critic reenters the life of an emerging singer-songwriter, bent on wreaking havoc. The characters in Power Ballads—aging head-bangers, jobbers, techno DJs, groupies, and the occasional rock star (and those who have to live with them)—need music to survive, yet find themselves lost when the last note is played, the lights go up, and it’s time to return to regular life. By turns melancholy and hilarious, Power Ballads is not only a deeply felt look at the lives of musicians but also an exploration of the secret music that plays inside us all.
