As if transmigrating into the protagonist of a post-apocalyptic ABO novel wasn’t awful enough, the villain turned out to be ridiculously overpowered!... more>>

How could Su Cheng possibly face this ruthless, unpredictable leader who killed without mercy?

Su Cheng: “I can’t fight her head-on; I need to outsmart her!”

Thus, Su Cheng pretended to be a “crippled Alpha” to get close to Ling Yuexi, living daily in fear of her disguise being exposed.

The villain always suspects me? Play along!

The villain keeps testing me? – Give her what she wants!

The usually aloof Ling Yuexi abandoned her composure, casting Su Cheng a sultry, alluring gaze.

Su Cheng: “Here we go again! Now she’s resorting to the Beauty Trap?”

No pain, no gain! Once I uncover Ling Yuexi’s secrets, I’ll crush her in one fell swoop!

Through a series of audacious moves—stealing supplies, raiding bases, and poaching allies—Su Cheng inadvertently derailed the entire plot of the book, helping the villain build her empire.

She sacrificed everything… only to find herself ensnared instead.

Everyone: So much for outsmarting her!

Su Cheng: I married her!

Su Cheng deceived and lied to Ling Yuexi, hiding her true identity until it was exposed. Only then did she realize how deeply she had fallen in love.

When Ling Yuexi pressed a gun to her forehead, Su Cheng’s eyes reddened. “Don’t you dare regret this.” <<less

High-survival-instinct Alpha who transmigrated into a book, paired with a cold, clever and reborn Princess Omega... more>>

Jiang Si once read a tragic yuri novel called The Princess as Concubine. She was so angry that she skimmed through the ending and immediately dropped it.

The next day, she unexpectedly woke up inside the book itself, now living as the very same s*umbag Alpha who shared her name.

Marquis Jiang Si of Jialing held a private army and used the country’s crisis to force the imperial family into a deal. She would only send troops if the long princess became her concubine.

In the end, she betrayed everyone. Claiming to cleanse the court of corruption, she overthrew the century-old foundation of Yue Kingdom and took the throne for himself.

She then spared only their daughter, sent the princess to the Cold Palace, and subjected her to years of cruelty and humiliation.

In a moment of desperation, the princess stabbed Jiang Si’s gland with a jeweled hairpin and ended her life. Their daughter took the throne and rescued her from exile.

Marquis Jiang Si was executed as a traitor.

When Jiang Si first arrived in the story, the long princess had not yet entered the manor. The child had not been born either. Everything could still be changed.

Jiang Si had no desire for wealth or power, so why repeat the original story’s destruction?

Yet there she was, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, surrounded by decorations, filled only with dread.

The original Alpha had arranged this marriage just to humiliate the long princess. She picked a random woman to marry and scheduled the wedding to take place the moment the princess arrived in the city.

Jiang Si took off the wedding clothes, intending to send the woman away, but ran right into the princess as she stepped out of her carriage.

Even dressed in soft pink, the princess’s beauty was breathtaking, and her expression was as cold as ice.

Jiang Si felt a chill at the back of her neck.

At that moment, she decided to rewrite the story and marry the princess as her proper wife.

The long princess refused her coldly.

When the kingdom faced war, Jiang Si led her troops to the front lines and defeated the rebels.

Back at the manor, everyone treated the long princess with respect. Yet she remained distant, and her gaze toward Jiang Si grew more and more unreadable.

One day, Jiang Si could no longer hold back and asked, “What is it that still displeases you?”

The princess replied, “As long as you are alive, I will never be at peace.”

Princess Mowan Ci of Shao Yuan was once known for her grace and beauty. In her past life, the greatest humiliation she suffered was becoming Jiang Si’s concubine. Even after rebirth, she still could not avoid walking through the gates of the marquis manor. <<less

Lu Yunshuang Dreamed She Was the Villainous Cannon Fodder Unable to Achieve Love... more>>

Lu Yunshuang had dreamed that she was a villainous cannon fodder in a novel, desperately in love but unable to attain it. In this dream, she was the spoiled son of a general’s mansion, wholeheartedly infatuated with the female lead. However, she was schemed against by others and, along with the male lead’s sister, Princess Ji Qingyuan, ended up having a marital union. She was forced to marry Princess Ji Qingyuan.

After the marriage, she treated Ji Qingyuan with great indifference, only stepping into her courtyard once a month. As a result, Princess Ji Qingyuan was constantly ridiculed both within the Lu household and externally, with people saying that her husband did not value her. In the end, the male lead ascended to the throne by leveraging the Lu family’s power but retaliated by accusing the Lu family of treason and betrayal, leading to the extermination of nine clans.

Only her neglected wife dared to storm into the palace, kneeling in the cold autumn rain, pleading with her imperial brother to revoke the decree. She watched helplessly as Lu Yunshuang was executed. To avenge her, her wife poisoned the male lead’s wine, and they both drank the tainted alcohol. The male lead was saved by the imperial physicians, but Princess Ji Qingyuan perished in that cold, desolate autumn.

Lu Yunshuang and Ji Qingyuan became the despised villains in the novel…

Upon waking, Lu Yunshuang dismissed the dream as complete nonsense. After all, she was a woman—how could she harbor such feelings? And how could she have a marital union with the Fifth Princess?

Unexpectedly, upon opening her eyes, Lu Yunshuang saw the ethereal and beautiful Fifth Princess lying disheveled in her arms, tears still clinging to her feathered lashes, as if she had been bullied and had cried. Unfortunately, this was exactly the plot in the novel where they were about to be caught in an illicit affair.

Lu Yunshuang: !!!

Fortunately, she woke up early and no one saw the scene.

Due to this absurd dream and the novel’s plot, Lu Yunshuang began to pay attention to Ji Qingyuan. She noticed that Ji Qingyuan would often sneak glances at her, and when caught, would hurriedly avert her gaze. Despite being a princess, Ji Qingyuan did not have a happy life.

Gradually, Lu Yunshuang felt pity for her. She decided to protect Ji Qingyuan under her wings, marry her, and planned to arrange for her to leave and live a comfortable life when the opportunity arose.

However, as time passed, she realized she no longer wanted to let Ji Qingyuan go. <<less

A girlfriend who died under mysterious circumstances.

A seven-day time loop that restarts endlessly.

A bloodstained white dress appearing by the bed.

A quiet, obedient girl crouching in the corner.

A creepy phantom drifting in like a ghost at night.

And whispers brushing against his ear as he sleeps.

Determined to change her fate, she resolved to fight against the heroine until the bitter end. But then, the sweet and naive heroine unexpectedly… awakened.

System: ?

A novel suddenly appeared in Qin Qingshang’s mind. In it, she was the female lead. The male lead, a company CEO with apparently too much free time, ab*sed his power to force her into being a substitute because she resembled his unforgettable first love. He kicked her aside when his first love returned, only to realize his mistake when she began to shine after leaving him. After a period of chasing her, they eventually got married happily.

To get her internship certificate stamped, Ding Lei used connections to get into her cousin-in-law's company.... more>>

To her embarrassment, her cousin-in-law's daughter, Xi Zhen, seemed to have a problem with her.

Several times, while Ding Lei was still hesitating whether to greet her, she saw Xi Zhen walk away quickly with a cold expression.

Fortunately, the internship period required by the school was only six months. Once the time was up, she could get her stamp and leave.

*

To ensure Ding Lei had a ride to and from work, their elders arranged for her and Xi Zhen to live together.

Their initially awkward cohabitation gradually took on a different flavor.

The woman who initially avoided her began to have an increasingly strong presence in Ding Lei's work and personal life.

"Duoduo, I have a document here. Come and get it."

"Stay for dinner? I can't finish all this by myself." The dishes laid out were all Ding Lei's favorites, and chopsticks were already thoughtfully handed to her.

*

On the last day of her internship.

"Director Xi, these are the documents that need your approval and stamp."

"So happy? Did something good happen?"

"My internship certificate is stamped! Once these are done, I won't have to come anymore!"

After the documents were processed, she was pressed against the desk, and the woman whispered in her ear, "Where should the other stamp go?"

Ding Lei, blushing and annoyed, covered her mouth and threatened weakly, "You, if you do this again, I'll tell Sister Yongmei!"

Xi Zhen smiled, "Tell her what? That I'm being insubordinate?"

*

The perennially unchanged archives department added a new position, and on the same day, an intern joined, accompanied by the HR Director.

The intern, Ding Lei, was sweet, cute, well-behaved, and soft-spoken. In contrast, Young Director Xi Zhen was aloof and formidable; no one dared to make mistakes under her supervision.

Gossip is human nature. Everyone felt this newcomer with connections had a significant background. Some even speculated she was the CEO's illegitimate daughter, Young Director Xi's half-sister (from a different mother).

However, the two looked nothing alike and their styles were polar opposites, so discerning people scoffed at the latter speculation.

After it was noticed that intern Ding Lei and Xi Zhen were never seen in the same place, the illegitimate daughter rumors intensified.

Until someone witnessed the intern sitting in Young Director Xi's passenger seat in the garage, car door ajar, the two kissing passionately.

Huh? Can blood sisters do that?

So, not sisters, but lovers? Were they avoiding each other all along to keep it secret???

The rumors took a 180-degree turn, but the individuals involved were completely unaware.

Later, someone reporting work happened upon the CEO and the intern both in Young Director Xi's office.

Oh ho, now there's a show to watch!

Indeed, the CEO was very angry; her voice carried through the slightly ajar door.

"Xi Zhen! Duoduo is your younger aunt! How can you address her by her full name?!"

What? Aunt and niece?!!

*

After work, inside Xi Zhen's car.

After a lingering, deep kiss, Xi Zhen asked, "Shall I take you home tonight?"

"N-no, I'm not going back," Ding Lei said softly, her face flushed red, head lowered.

"Then, Little Aunt, one more time, okay?" <<less
