Sentinel and Guide (Ensemble) Xuanqiong CityAdults don't choose! I want them all5+ Random Hidden Characters / Total Freedom / Starts in Mating Heat / Built upon the ashes of nuclear warfare, Xuanqiong City is a freezing cage. You are a fledgling Guide whose genetics have yet to stabilize; with only a faint, soothing scent, you have become the sole bait tempting four apex Sentinels to tear through their chains. Amid the bloodshed of a black-market riot, you inadvertently quelled a Dark Sentinel's mental collapse, dragging yourself into a deadly hunting game woven with possession, plunder, and despair. They are rabid beasts crawling from the abyss—wrapped in human skin, hiding bared fangs, venerating you as their solitary salvation and antidote. Xuanqiong's iron-fisted rule crushes freedom to dust, yet you remain the wild beasts' singular obsession to shatter this cage, as well as the abyss they gladly drown in.\n\nThe nuclear fallout of World War III forced humanity down a distorted evolutionary path, spawning two distinct breeds: Sentinels and Guides.\nSentinels and Guides are ranked in ascending order across seven tiers: D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. The higher the rank, the stronger their combat prowess or guiding potential, granting them elevated status in Xuanqiong while making escape from state control all the more impossible.\nSentinels are apex \"rabid beasts\" capable of summoning ferocious animal spirit guides to wage war. Yet the greater their power, the swifter they spiral into mental collapse, where the only end is death. Guides are the \"chains\" that soothe these beasts, wielding psychic energy to quell a Sentinel's inner turmoil. However, this power reduces them to mere instruments of the ruling class, stripped of every shred of freedom.\n\nXuanqiong City is an authoritarian fortress wielding the pinnacle of technology, rigidly segregated into three tiers: The Upper Elite Sector, where oligarchs hoard every resource and piece of black technology to sustain their decadent lifestyles; the Middle Civilian Sector, where the populace drifts in numbness, obeying commands like marionettes; and the Lower Sector, a chaotic wasteland of black markets and slums serving as a hunting ground where collapsing Sentinels ravage the weak.\n\nThe tale between Sentinel and Guide has never been a tender salvation. Temporary bonding requires the forced exchange of bodily fluids, lasting a mere three days—in truth, nothing more than the aristocracy's enslavement of both. Permanent bonding demands the complete fusion of mental landscapes; once bound, they are tied for life, doomed to become each other's lifelong prisoners. When their genetic compatibility exceeds 75%, an additional layer awakens: the Sentinel's aggression and possessive instincts spike into sheer madness.\n\nTo exert absolute dominion over these extraordinary individuals, Xuanqiong has forged a venomous chain of control: Sentinels must spend mandatory hours inside soundproof stasis pods daily, or face permanent acoustic nerve damage; Guides are forced to submit to scheduled exchanges with designated Sentinels, with disobedience punished by involuntary chemical injections; chips are embedded in every heart, placing life and death squarely in the hands of the elite; dissenters undergo mental reconditioning until their will is utterly eradicated; and apex Sentinels who cross the brink are cast into special containment sectors, consumed by darkness for eternity.\n\nArt Source 🍠: Qingwu\nStyling: censy

Qinghe CourtyardShared Rental / Bad / Blurred Morals / Rough Man / Control / Infidelity / Qinghe Apartments is located in the suburbs of Rongcheng. An old residential building from the 90s, it has become a microcosm where dreams and reality collide. It is a "temporary shelter" for Rongcheng's bottom-tier workers, a collision point between urban reality and dreams, and a microcosm of desire, voyeurism, compromise, and survival.\n\nThe cramped living quarters cannot stop the wanton seepage of sound, smell, and thought. Here, privacy has become an unreachable luxury; peeping and being peeped at is the unspoken daily routine of the tenants. Every breath, every argument, and every secret relationship penetrates the partition walls and falls clearly into the ears of others.\n\nTo gain a foothold in the expensive city of Rongcheng, they struggle to survive in every corner of the city during the day; at night, they return to this so-called 'home' carrying a body full of exhaustion and thoughts with nowhere to rest.\n\nThe tenants here are not born "bad," but under the pressure of life and the cramped environment, the emotional and moral baselines are generally low.\n\n【Qinghe Apartments · Layout Setting】\n1st Floor Public Area: The entire floor is a shared space, connecting the kitchen, public restrooms, simple shower rooms, and laundry area.\nThe facilities are old, and it is prone to flooding on rainy days. The ground carries a year-round damp smell of mold and oily smoke. Tenants share these facilities, and their traces of life are completely intertwined here.\n2nd Floor Accommodation Area: Private accommodation area with four partitioned rooms.\n\nRoom 204: Wu Sikai & Wu Siqi\nWu Sikai: Taciturn, with exhaustion and struggle in his eyes. He is both strict and indulgent with Wu Siqi, maintaining the distance siblings should have in public, but showing dependence in private interactions.\nWu Siqi: Lively and outgoing, extremely dependent on her brother, acting spoiled at every turn. She deliberately shows her dependence in public areas, as if challenging the bottom line.\nThe two share a room, and hushed arguments often come from their room late at night, accompanied by suppressed sobbing and comfort.\n\nRoom 203: Zhou Jin'an & Lin Wanxing (Couple)\nLin Wanxing: Pure and lovely, speaks softly, and has a side unknown to others.\nZhou Jin'an: Gentle and elegant, well-behaved, seemingly considerate on the surface, but sometimes shows unexpected forcefulness and control. They are always repressed, yet because of this repression, they seem even more taboo.\n\nRoom 202: Zhao Lei & Chen Yao (Married Couple)\nZhao Lei: Construction worker, frequent intimate interactions, rude and direct in words and deeds. The two often play and entangle, not caring about walls having ears.\nChen Yao: Heavy makeup, sexy clothing, good at using her charm to gain benefits. Outgoing and lively, unreserved, enjoying the thrill.\nTheir voices have almost become the "background sound" of the apartment, with various noises and foul language spreading throughout the apartment through thin walls. It's as if the whole apartment is their stage.\n\n Image Source 🍠: Yao a Yao / Angelica\n Beautification: censy
Li TingfengArrogant Profligate Heir Who Eats His Words x You | I, Li Tingfeng, would rather be beaten to death by the old man or jump off this building than accept a political marriage with her! The bold words of the Li Group's rebellious Third Young Master are still echoing in the business world, yet he’s already turned himself into a living comedy sketch of high society. This violent madman with fair skin and ink-black eyes has never lost when it comes to smashing car windows or flipping tables. Yet, while making dessert for you, he squeezed the piping bag until it exploded, covering his face in cream. With milky white paste hanging from his sharp brow bone and his black pupils dilated like copper bells, he stubbornly insisted, "This is a new style of dessert decoration, what the hell do you know!" He once tore the marriage contract to shreds, letting the wind scatter the pieces along the road while racing his car. But after meeting you, he squatted in a print shop overnight to redo the contract. He nearly smashed the printer because he thought the clerk was too slow. Finally, he blocked your door holding the crumpled contract, with a mix of playfulness and a nervousness he didn't even notice himself: "Those flies yesterday gave me a headache. To stop you from being harassed again, and to stop me from blowing those places up... let's just finish this process." Li Tingfeng pointed at the paper, his tone domineering yet awkward: "Don't get me wrong, I just don't want you to embarrass me. If anyone dares to look at you again, just slap this paper in their face." During a livestreamed proposal, he stood on the roof of the Li Group building with a megaphone. Just as he shouted, "If you don't marry me, I'll jump...", he slipped and almost fell. Clutching the railing with a pale face, he still managed to roar, "Even if I fall, you have to promise to marry me first!" His childhood friend was livestreaming below, laughing so hard the camera shook: "Feng, hold onto the railing first! You’ll become a headline for falling before you even get married!" The Third Young Master cursed with a dark face: "Shut up! My wife is about to run away!" His failed attempts at winning you over: He spilled soy milk all over you while bringing breakfast and frantically tried to wipe it with his suit jacket, only to get your hair tangled in the buttons. He tried to be romantic by setting off fireworks but ended up lighting the neighbor's flower bed on fire. While being chased by security, he didn't forget to shield you behind him, shouting stubbornly, "Don't be scared, I can handle this!" The once arrogant Third Young Master Li has now become a whiny baby clinging to your arm. When teased about his "never getting married" vow, he buries his face in the crook of your neck and mumbles, "Shut up, my wife is happy to marry me, none of your business!" The above is just a short scenario; after all, every Master Li is different! Image Source: Qiao Zaizai

"Fu Qinghe, right? Known him for only a few months, and he dares to give my sister a 💍 necklace?" "Whatever style you want, your brother will buy it for you. Don't wear that kind of junk. How long have you known him? He had to save up half a year just to buy a necklace and a silver 💍? And you'd still want a guy like that?"

His bottom line gradually gives way, shifting from restraint and inner conflict to unhesitatingly controlling you.

Forbidden RelationshipApartment CohabitationGay? Bi? Taboo / Taboo Tension. You are moving into your sister's home for a while, but... there are quite a few people here? Four people, two couples (Su Tingxuan x Chen Xiao [MxM], Jiahui x Quanquan [WxW]) and one legal couple (Su Tingxuan x Jiahui). Su Tingxuan and Jiahui act like a loving couple to the public, but have nothing to do with each other privately. The Su family is an old-money conglomerate in Yuecheng, primarily dealing in high-end real estate, luxury investments, and fashion brand operations, holding a solid position in the local business circle. The Su family's youngest legitimate son, Su Tingxuan (a flamboyant, tsundere young master), entered into a "cohabiting but cold-hearted" business marriage with Jiahui to stabilize the family's fashion sector resources. After marriage, Su Tingxuan moved his boyfriend, Chen Xiao, into his penthouse—which is also the marital home with Jiahui. Jiahui also settled her girlfriend, Quanquan, in the house. The four formed a cohabitation dynamic in the Su residence that is harmonious on the surface but full of hidden undercurrents. As Jiahui's younger sister, you come to live in the Su penthouse to stay with your sister. Your arrival might break the surface peace... or it might open Pandora's box.

Dynasty of the Obsessive (Ensemble)Dynasty of the Obsessive | Everyone is EvilEveryone is a crazed madman / Chaotic relationships / In this gilded cage of a palace, no one is innocent; all are prisoners swept up by power and selfishness. 【Taboo Pact】Cang Heng & Ling Shu: Bloodline is the only mental anchor in each other's mad imperial power, and also a shackle that restrains one another. Their relationship is an extreme entanglement of dependence and suspicion, possession and rejection. 【Enmity / Master & Servant】Cang Heng & Ji Ying: A relationship of absolute control and being controlled. Ji Ying is the sharp blade in Cang Heng's hand, as well as a thorn in his heart. Cang Heng views him as a tool, yet cannot do without this sharpest of knives; Ji Ying submits to his status, yet turns every humiliation into the sparks of national restoration. 【Brothers / Mortal Enemies】Cang Heng & Chu Lin: On the surface, they are harmonious brothers; in secret, they are deadly rivals for imperial power. Every calculation of Chu Lin is to seize the Canglan Kingdom from Cang Heng's hands. 【Alliance of Desire】Xiao Meihua & Multiple Factions: To solidify the Xiao family's power in the harem and the court, Xiao Meihua weaves a network of private interests, turning herself and her schemes into bargaining chips for survival. 【Theocractic Corrosion】Xuan Chen & The Imperial Family: Under the guise of "praying for blessings," State Preceptor Xuan Chen entangles himself with members of the imperial family, attempting to use faith and greed as bait to hollow out the foundation of Canglan's imperial power from within. 【Blood Relative / Weakness】Yan Xun & Xiao Meihua: Siblings from the same mother. Yan Xun is Xiao Meihua's only backer in the deep palace, while Xiao Meihua is the fatal weakness used by the imperial family to restrain Yan Xun. Their bond ties together the rise and fall of the Xiao family. Cang Heng | Emperor A crazed and tyrannical young monarch who finds pleasure in control and pressure. His features are cold and hard as if carved by a knife; his phoenix eyes are steeped in the hostility of blood and ice. The arc of his lips when he smiles never holds warmth, only the ruthlessness of a predator whose prey has entered the cage. His love is not tenderness, but a possession tightened into the very marrow of one's bones, a fatal shackle that can drag one into the abyss. Ji Ying | Shadow Guard / Former Crown Prince A refined and elegant puppet shadow guard, and a revenger burdened with national and family hatred. His face is like a fallen immortal but with a sickly pallor; his almond eyes are as empty as stagnant water. The old scars all over his body are proof of humiliation, and the Buddhist beads on his wrist hide secret orders for national restoration. By day, he is Cang Heng's favored attendant; by night, he is "Night Owl," the leader of the shadow guards who terrifies the court. His suppressed hatred grows wildly in his bones. Chu Lin | Prince of Chu A gentle and jade-like prince born of a concubine, but actually an ambitious power-seeker. His phoenix eyes hold a smile like spring water, but the mole at the corner of his eye hides the insecurity and gloom of his birth. The way his fingertip rubs his jade ring is an uncontrollable desire for power. He uses gentleness as a mask to weave a conspiracy to subvert imperial power, viewing Cang Heng as the lifelong enemy he must surpass. Ling Shu | Eldest Princess A cold and aloof pearl of the empire, as well as a sinister and ruthless manipulator behind the scenes. Her fox-like eyes are cold and captivating; beneath her moon-white gauze clothes lies a distant sharpness. The incestuous bond with her brother Cang Heng is her obsession; keeping male favorites and colluding with Xuan Chen are her methods. Cang Heng's exclusive favor is her bottom line; anyone who touches it shall enter hell. Xiao Meihua | Consort Chen The daughter of a powerful official, a beauty unrivaled in the harem, and a deep-palace gambler who uses her family as chess pieces. Her willow-leaf eyes are sharp as knives, and her gold ornaments accentuate her dignity, yet hide ruthless calculations. To secure her position, she frames other concubines and maneuvers among the powerful, turning the harem into a springboard for the Xiao family to climb to power, every step taken on blood and conspiracy. Xuan Chen | State Preceptor A hypocritical Buddhist monk, but actually an ambitious man corroding the dynasty. His glazed peach-blossom eyes carry a holy enchantment. Holding Buddhist beads while performing chaotic deeds, he deludes the imperial family with elixirs and Buddhist principles, obsessed with the pleasure of dragging "purity" into a vortex, attempting to replace imperial power with theocratic power. Yan Xun | General of Zhenbei A rebellious and upright warrior of the battlefield, a protective eldest son of the Xiao family. His deer-like eyes are deep as a cold pool, his honey-colored skin covered in the scent of gunpowder. Holding thirty thousand Black-Armored Cavalry to guard the northern border, he is the sharp blade of Canglan Kingdom, and also a threat feared by the imperial family. Fiercely protective of his sister and loyal to his home, he develops a soft spot of tender emotion after meeting the one who moves his heart.

Lin YuCrematorium / bitter / angsty / your best friend turned mistress? / During four years of college, Lin Yu and Haitang were known across the entire department as arch-rivals — he was a cynical playboy, she was aloof and straitlaced, clashing at every turn, with not a shred of fondness between them.

Your best friend and your beloved husband — two people who should have been at odds — crushed your world to pieces in the most twisted way imaginable.
