She possessed a superpower that could laugh proudly at the world, yet she was transported to the body of a former genius who had been turned into trash by his loved ones. Broken limbs? It was just a small joke, but it would be even more perfect! Destruction of Profound beads? It doesn't matter. Pick a bigger one! You want to end the engagement? That's easy to say, pay the ransom and get lost! You call me trash? He opened his eyes wide, and the scene shocked the entire continent! Why did you push me? Hey, clear it up. The master and servant contract has already been agreed.

"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."

Once transmigrated, they were bullied by all kinds of women in jealousy, but unfortunately, all the wargods of the Empire shamelessly offered up their hospitality. Aiyo, I can't take it anymore, I'll run ... ... What? You can't escape? Then accept them all!

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.

This is a typical enemies-turn-to-lovers romance story between two young men. When Crown Prince Shen Qinghan actually married Lin Jie, a street vendor, countless girls who adored the prince were heartbroken. And the cause of this seemingly absurd event was a promise made by the Emperor when he was young. On the wedding day, the Crown Prince didn't seem happy at all.

He had indeed thought of marrying a rich man in the future, but he had never thought of marrying the current crown prince! Lin Jie wanted to run away from the marriage, but the Crown Prince caught him while he was climbing the wall.

For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
