【Time Travel + Workplace Competition + No Lazing Around + Ambitious Female Lead】... more>>

Overachiever Shen Wei traveled through time and found herself as the lowest-ranking maid in the grand residence of the Yan Prince.

The Yan Prince held a prestigious position, but his consorts were all content to live dull lives. The noble-born princess consort was as tranquil as a chrysanthemum; the concubine sought a life of monogamy; the reincarnated woman was utterly disillusioned with the Yan Prince and had given up on striving for anything; and the other timid concubines dared not make a move...

The queen of workplace competition, Shen Wei, declared: Don't stop me! I'm going to outwork these unambitious slackers!

...

The Yan Prince had grown accustomed to the stagnant atmosphere in his harem, until a particularly skilled courtesan appeared.

This concubine was stunningly beautiful, adept at both literature and dance, hardworking, and always brought him fresh excitement. The Prince couldn't help but take a second, then a lifetime-long, look at her.

Years later, Shen Wei became the all-powerful Imperial Noble Consort, with children and the emperor's exclusive favor.

Meanwhile, the princess consort remained as tranquil as ever; the concubine was aging and had yet to experience a monogamous life; and the reincarnated woman was still eating simple meals in her modest abode...

After half a lifetime of striving, Shen Wei finally reached retirement and revealed her true nature, fully embracing a life of leisure. The retired emperor interjected: "You competed for favor just to retire?"

Shen Wei snacked on melon seeds: "What else?"

Living is all about retirement!

The retired emperor was even more surprised to find, in midlife, that other men were vying for his wife's affections! <<less

“…Forget everything about the past.”

“…Ugh!”

His words stabbed me.

More painful than the discreet inner turmoil that was currently tormenting me, his words were even more agonising.

Finally, I closed my eyes.

I could feel the tears trickle down my closed eyes.

“Forget everything and hate me, Julie.”

He had me captive for a long time.

I no longer cried, nor did I struggle.

He chewed me up and tore me apart. If he embraced me, I got f*cked.

‘Goodbye, Romi.’

At Qingcheng No. 1 High School, there are two famous figures: one named Song Man, the other Chu Fengqiu.... more>>

Song Man is the tyrant of the regular class—a delinquent who skips class, ranks last, and is known as a world-shaking female demon.

Chu Fengqiu is the top student of the advanced class—a goddess with excellent grades, a beautiful appearance, and proficiency in both violin and piano.

Their paths were never meant to cross, until one day, Chu Fengqiu witnessed Song Man casually solve a highly difficult Olympiad math problem with complex steps—a problem that had taken Chu Fengqiu ten minutes just to think through.

Chu Fengqiu: ???

There's definitely more to this female classmate than meets the eye!

And so, major news broke out at Qingcheng No. 1 High: the goddess of the advanced class was relentlessly pursuing the female demon king!

Shocking! The top student and the slacker met up in the woods... to do their 'Five-Three' practice workbooks! <<less

Now, with the weight of the curse upon her, she sets sail for the treacherous waters of the Cursed Sea, determined to settle the score with the devil who stole her fate.... more>>

Her ship, once a symbol of fear, has become something stranger.

Yoon Tae-joo and Yoo Da-young have spent over a decade as just “an older guy I know” and “a younger girl I know.”... more>>

One day, desperate for Da-young’s help, Tae-joo flies to Canada to find her and makes her an offer.

“I’ll give you 1 billion won. Help me out.”

“Just say you’ll marry me. Then I’ll go.”

For a moment, he can only laugh in disbelief at Da-young, who treats marriage proposals like a hobby.

"I can’t marry you because I still can’t forget my first love," Tae-joo says firmly.

But Da-young wasn't giving up either.

"Oppa, is your first love good at fighting?"

She was determined to win his heart, no matter what. Eventually, she gets caught up in his scheme and agrees to go back to Korea with him.

After all, if their bodies grow closer, won’t their hearts follow too?

"Oppa… Have you ever once seen me as a woman?"

As Da-young’s feelings grow fiercer, Tae-joo’s attitude toward her begins to change.

"Da-young."

When Tae-joo speaks solemnly, Da-young pleads,

"If you’re going to reject me, just leave. I don’t have the courage to face another rejection today."

But Tae-joo doesn’t walk away. Instead, pushing aside all his swirling doubts, he reaches out to her. When his hand finally brushes her cheek—

His voice is laced with regret as he finally reveals what’s truly in his heart.

"You should’ve hidden it better." <<less

Everyone in our family has their own secrets.... more>>

My mom is the only daughter of a former interstellar pirate, my father is a secret agent of the Old Century Allied Political Army. My adopted older brother has a special bloodline of beastmen, and the sister we picked up from the roadside is actually a master of witchcraft with mystical lineage.

And I, an ordinary eighteen-year-old male high school student, the only biological son of my parents, has no special bloodline, and has been a “normal person” since birth

The reason why I can know everyone’s secrets is because-

I transmigrated.

I was originally an ordinary person on the edge of the class, classmates couldn’t even remember my name occasionally. I refused all social activities that might attract attention, and kept to myself at school.

For some reason, I offended the tough guys in school, and they began to target me openly and secretly, but I never fought back.

Everyone thought I was timid and cowardly, and I never explained.

Because I just wanted to be an ordinary person.

Until one day, I intervened to save a classmate who was being bullied. I accidentally exerted too much force, causing multiple serious injuries. As they lay on the ground unable to get up, I personally took them to the hospital.

Since then, whenever the tough guys who call themselves the school bullies see me, they can’t help but feel weak in the knees—

Yes, as one of the members of this special family, I also have a little secret:

Before transmigrating, I cultivated for a hundred years, with profound cultivation, just a half step away from ascension.

In short, invincible.

The classmate I saved recently has been looking at me strangely.

One day, he found me, his beautiful almond-shaped eyes turning, and he stared at me and said:

“I know your secret.”

I immediately covered his mouth, pushed him into the corner, avoiding the sight of others, and calmly questioned him: “What do you know?”

He’s the antagonist of this book. Although it will be another ten years before he turns dark, if he finds out that this world is a book, many things will go awry

I don’t want to get involved in any trouble, so I must not let him discover that I—

“You like me.”

Transmigrated.

During the ritual of summoning demons, Aiwass finally recalled the memories of his past life.

And he will reveal his identity six years later, and he will hesitantly jump back from the protagonist. In the end, because he decided to block the fatal blow for the player character, he was killed in the cutscene CG by the big brother who was rooted in the black without even having a chance to enter the book. — but it’s not a big problem. Because Aiwass also knows many secret promotion paths that are exclusive to the player character, as well as the various path rules that serve as secret knowledge, he will surely be able to reverse his unfortunate fate……

So now there’s only one question left. “According to the original plot, shouldn’t I have been saved by the protagonist before this breaking ceremony began?”

Aiwass, who was tied to the ceremonial table as a sacrifice, fell into deep thought. ——————

One day after I endured the hellish days of being a nameless extra that was abandoned by my parents, the people who attacked the orphanage took me to the Imperial Palace.... more>>

“Every day, at least ten minutes or more hold the prince's hand, but on the days of classes, please hold at least twenty minutes."

Then a man called the Emperor suddenly sees me and asks me to hold the hand of a prince who would grow up as a cruel tyrant in the future.

I thought I would maintain a thorough business-like relationship with the Crown Prince in order to prevent the death of the tyrant who was struggling in war.

"Your Majesty, I will retire in 3 years"

**Crack**

The teacup in Cedric's hand shattered, unable to withstand the terrifying grip.

“Yes, Cie? I'm sorry, but I didn't hear that well."

It seems like this crazy tyrant has no intention of letting me go

"The doctor said that it was not enough to hold hands anymore."

What? It could happen, but why are you in my bed?

"He said that we should spend a night together."

Hey! Your Majesty, didn't the doctor say that I just need to hold your hand? <<less

One day, I found out that I was a side character in a hero comic book.... more>>

The original story is about heroes in leather jackets cleaning up criminals in a corrupted city.

My brother was the most powerful villain who was destined to fall at the hands of the heroes.

So, I decided to seduce the hero to change the downfall that awaited my brother and me.

However…

"What's this? You look like a squid. Stop being annoying and leave."

The protagonist of this world had a knack for inviting trouble with his sharp tongue.

***

One day, I found a half-dead man collapsed in the front yard.

And this man... He was the notorious hero from the original story.

The same hero who turned just as corrupt as the criminals he fought, becoming a moral-free anti-hero.

"You are a good person. I don't want to blow off a good person's head with my own hands."

So please, don't commit any crimes.

The anti-hero's chilling words sent shivers down my spine.

***

After escaping and hiding from my villain brother, the hero, and the anti-hero, it wasn't long before my brother found me—by joining forces with the hero.

"Being under my protection is safer than having a petty sense of freedom."

Being alive is what matters most, regardless of the kind of life I live.

My brother was angrier than I'd ever seen him in my life.

And then, the hero, his face filled with annoyance, said, "If you try to hide again, I'll make sure you never leave, even if it means throwing you in prison."

And as for the anti-hero, who left mountains of villain corpses in his pursuit of me, said, "Giselle. My love. Would you rather lose your head, or live like you're dead by my side?"

Oh merciful gods above, it seems this life is destined for ruin. <<less

Qi Xu was brought back to his wealthy birth family at the age of 18. At 28, he died in that same wealthy family.... more>>

Looking back on those ten years, Qi Xu realized he hadn't exactly acted like a decent human being.

To show that he was mature and understanding, he actually turned down the jewels, luxury cars, houses, and yachts his biological parents gave him—completely wasting their good intentions.

He spent his whole life trying to prove that he was in no way inferior to the fake young master, only to end up betrayed by everyone, cast out by his loved ones, and die a tragic death after falling down the stairs.

Now reborn, Qi Xu decided: this time, he’s taking everything with him.

On the first day Qi Xu was brought back to the Shen family, Mr. and Mrs. Shen prepared two sapphires for both the real and fake young masters.

The fake young master was so “understanding” it hurt:

“I already have plenty of gems, Mom. Can I donate this to help build a school for the kids in the mountains?”

Qi Xu, receiving a gemstone for the first time, stared unblinkingly:

“Mom, can you buy me a safe to store my gems?”

When college started, the Shen couple gave each of the boys an apartment in a good school district to make studying easier.

The fake young master politely declined as usual:

“Dad, I haven’t even stayed in the seaside villa yet. Let’s give the school apartment to someone who really needs it.”

Qi Xu accepted smoothly:

“Thanks, Dad. I’ll move in right away.”

While everyone was praising the fake young master for being sensible and not materialistic, Qi Xu was already collecting rent from the school apartment.

And the tenant? It was none other than the fake young master’s childhood friend — the golden boy of the Xie family, Xie Huai, born at the top of the pyramid.

On rent day, Qi Xu knocked on Xie Huai’s door:

“Time to pay rent.”

Xie Huai had just come out of the shower, casually drying his half-wet hair.

“It’s Valentine’s Day today. Any special discounts?”

Qi Xu replied coolly:

“Nope. Single dog like me doesn’t celebrate Valentine’s Day.”

Xie Huai leaned down and kissed the corner of Qi Xu’s lips.

“Can’t I at least get a discount on utilities and half-off the rent?”

Qi Xu gave a cold laugh:

“Keep dreaming.”

You can have the person, but the rent stays full price.

This time around, Qi Xu took with him everything he didn’t have in his past life — including Xie Huai, who in the previous lifetime, had barely exchanged a few words with him. <<less

With the decline of the six ancient divine clans and the rise of humanity, the continent was plunged into endless strife and shifting power. Amidst the chaos and suffering of this turbulent era, an unknown knight rose to prominence. After more than two decades of relentless warfare, he brought an end to the age of discord... more>>

He slew the cruel tyrant, shielded the young imperial princess as she ascended the throne, yet was ultimately stripped of his authority.

He saved the elven princess, defended the sacred lands of the elves from the ravages of war, yet faced exclusion and disdain from the very people he protected.

He aided the Fox Empress of Kyushu in purging corrupt officials and securing her reign, only to be betrayed in return.

He helped a fox-dancer from the Sakura Tribe escape her lowly status and assisted her in becoming a high-ranking official, only to be used and discarded as a stepping stone.

He cleansed the kingdom of a heretical cult’s corruption, only to be burdened with false accusations.

Gazing upon this flourishing continent that no longer needed him, the knight silently withdrew, his duty fulfilled. Gratitude was never what he sought. The world was at peace, his purpose achieved.

No longer young, he drew his sword and struck at an opponent he could never defeat, marking the final note of his life’s symphony.

Yet death did not claim him. The fox bloodline within him saved his life, though at the cost of his gender. Forced into a new identity, she resolved to leave her knightly past behind and live quietly as an ordinary person.

Unbeknownst to her, the empresses and princesses who once held complex feelings for him now drowned in regret upon hearing news of his "death"... <<less

“Elaina, Archduke Grant is coming to visit tomorrow……. Someone you like.”... more>>

Diane’s sobs reminded Elaina of a book. Every night, she read the same book over and over again in her dreams. In the book, “Moonshadow,” Diane is sold off to become the wife of Archduke Grant due to family circumstances, preventing her from marrying the man she loves. The book ends with Diane, tired of her loveless marriage, taking her own life.

‘This can’t be happening!’

She had done so much to prevent Diane’s misery. Now she can’t stand by and watch her fall into the devil’s maw.

“Don’t worry, Diane.”

Elaina took Diane’s hand and reassured her.

“I’ll take care of everything.”

She will. Even if it means she herself marries him instead.

***

“You’ve interfered every time I tried to approach Diane Redwood, and now you want to marry me instead?”

“Think of it more like a one-year contract than a marriage. We can give and take what we want from each other.”

Lyle Grant looked at Elaina with confusion.

“What on earth for?”

“I have a heart that won’t let me turn away from a poor person.”

It wasn’t just for Diane. Diane, the protagonist, Nathan, the love of her life, and Lyle and his younger brother. Everyone in “Moonshadow” was unhappy, each for their own reasons.

“I promise, I’ll be your wife for a year, but I’ll do my best while I’m at it.”

Elaina smiled up at Lyle, her face full of confidence. She had a plan to make all the characters in the damn “Moonshadow” happy. <<less

Transmigrating into a wasteland ravaged by infected creatures and relentless natural disasters, Cheng Ye becomes a border inspector in Happiness City.... more>>

Every survivor seeking to join Happiness City must undergo rigorous questioning and inspection to prevent infected from infiltrating.

But soon, Cheng Ye discovers these infected are nothing like he imagined!

There are Deathwhisper tent**les that resurrect the dead, sustained by obsession.

There are Death Dandelions that can instantly infect everything within a two-kilometer radius.

There are Fiery Sunflowers that emit bio-deconstructing rays, melting everything in their path.

And there are Laughing Mandrakes that grow stronger the more they make creatures laugh…

Fortunately, Cheng Ye acquires a special Civilization Collector.

As long as a creature’s cooperation level is high enough, he can search and replicate their information, items, skills, attributes, abilities, or even facilities…

Even a failed search accumulates action points, which can be used to upgrade items, equipment, or shelters.

Wait, what? It can even search for a spouse?

Staring at the city lord’s wife appearing before him, Cheng Ye is dumbfounded! <<less
