【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

The most favored heir of the Xie family, Xie Yunjing, is about to enter an arranged marriage, and the partner’s name is Gu Xian.... more>>

Gu Xian, male, has been at odds with Xie Yunjing since childhood. Whenever they meet, they seize every opportunity to step on each other’s toes. If they were to get married, it would undoubtedly be pure chaos.

Gu Xian naturally wanted to cancel the engagement. However, Xie Yunjing beat him to it by showing up at his door first. Unable to resist, Gu Xian, with a fake air of politeness, offered him a glass of cola. He may have seemed cordial, but his words were anything but.

Gu Xian: Hehehe, scared already?~

This was something Xie Yunjing absolutely could not admit.

He downed the strange-tasting cola, mixed with vinegar, in one gulp and sneered: Fine, let’s get married. I’ll wait for you to regret it.

Gu Xian: Haha, whoever regrets it first is a dog!

No one thought this marriage would end well. In fact, someone even came to Gu Xian with a check, offering to buy information about Xie Yunjing.

Gu Xian: What a sweet deal!

After pocketing the money, he slapped the 5-million-yuan check in front of his arch-enemy: Let’s collaborate. I take seventy percent, you take thirty.

But his arch-enemy simply pocketed the money and pinned him down instead: You love me so much.

Gu Xian: ??? Did a donkey kick your head?

Much later, while rubbing his sore waist, Gu Xian suddenly realized that he was the one who had been kicked by the donkey all along!

In her past life, Shen Yiqiu battled against the white moonlight, fought off the cinnabar mole, overcame countless obstacles, and endured endless hardships to rise from a fallen noble lady to the Empress—until she finally outlived that damned man and became the Empress Dowager.... more>>

Who would have thought that, in a cruel twist of fate, she would slip and die by crashing into the Emperor’s coffin, only to wake up back at fifteen, before she was even married?

Shen Yiqiu opened her eyes, realized she was back at the starting point, and promptly rolled over in bed: "To hell with it. I'm done playing this game. Let whoever wants to deal with it handle it. I'm not serving anyone this time!"

On the other hand, Yuchi Yue, as he took his last glance at the mortal world, saw his unlikable Empress smash her head against his coffin and die. Deeply moved, he was reborn as well.

In this new life, he decided to treat the woman who had loved him so desperately just a little bit better…

But on the day they were supposed to meet in this life, Yuchi Yue waited and waited—yet she never showed up.

A few days later, he heard that Shen Yiqiu was discussing marriage with the son of the Minister of Rites.

A few more days later, the engagement was nearly finalized.

Yuchi Yue: ???!!!

Yuchi Yue: Woof woof woof! Wifey, look at me! Is there still a chance to save this?!

Shen Yiqiu: Oh. (Get lost, don’t disturb my salted fish life.)

This is the story of a s*umbag man who desperately needs a lesson, while the woman refuses to teach him—so he has no choice but to educate himself. <<less

Su Xingyao was born with good looks and treated people sincerely, yet he was never liked by others.... more>>

After suffering hardships and eventually being taken back by his biological family, his parents showed him a cold face, caring only for their adopted son.

His fiancé gave all their resources to the adopted son, allowing people within their circle to bully and smear Su Xingyao without restraint.

Even the celebrity friend he risked his life to save from a fire didn’t say a word of thanks; instead, he turned around and devoted his kindness to the adopted son.

Netizens blindly sided with the adopted son, condemning Su Xingyao every day without reason.

Although he did nothing wrong, everyone despised him.

It wasn’t until he fell off a cliff that Su Xingyao discovered he was the foil character in a novel.

The adopted son, Shen Huaixi, was the protagonist of this world, naturally adored by everyone, while he was the scapegoat, branded as petty and cruel, with no one ever destined to like him.

After being reborn, Su Xingyao finally awakened.

He quickly left the Shen family and cut ties with everyone from his past.

From then on, his life took a fresh turn, and by a twist of fate, he even became friends with the biggest villain in the entire story. <<less

A wealthy girl who is difficult to approach, incredibly cold, once adored by many but suddenly fallen into despair;

The ups and downs of life accompany their journey of growth. Perhaps they were merely parallel lines existing in the same space.

Drawn together by mutual understanding, they slowly approach each other.

Love on the left, friendship on the right.

Amid the ever-changing tides of youth, betrayal and jealousy tests them. Immaturity and maturity intertwine, friendship and love blur, joy and sorrow mix.

Wen Shuangbai transmigrated into a novel, becoming a poor artifact cultivator.... more>>

Not only was her family penniless, but she also had a fiancé.

Her fiancé had an exquisitely handsome face, with a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye that was utterly captivating.

Unfortunately, he was the novel’s devoted second male lead who pined after the female protagonist—willing to go through fire and water for her, even abandoning his wife to prove his love.

Wen Shuangbai decided she wasn’t cut out for such a fate and planned to call off the engagement.

That was, until one day, she accidentally witnessed the man handing a medicinal pill to the female protagonist with an indifferent expression, stating matter-of-factly, “That’ll be 101 coins.”

Wen Shuangbai: “?”

Hold on—he didn’t even round it down? Since when did a simp male lead act like this?

Growing increasingly suspicious, she finally couldn’t hold back and asked him one day: “Bro, where are you from?”

Xie Ziying: “.”

Xie Ziying was the youngest chief physician at a top-tier hospital, his future bright and promising—until he transmigrated into a fantasy novel, becoming a minor cannon-fodder healer.

In the book, his fiancée was a villainess who committed every evil deed imaginable, so Xie Ziying planned to find a way to sever this ill-fated bond.

That was, until one day, the so-called villainess asked him: “Bro, where are you from?”

Xie Ziying: “6.” [Internet slang for cool]

In a twist on the typical “sugar mama” setup, our protagonist—who, despite being a 27‑year‑old man, looks like a young girl—ends up attracting a VTuber-style mama through his mama-hunting escapades. Doted on as if he were her very own child, he has no interest in returning to the home that once spurned him.... more>>

Raised without the love he craved due to the stark contrast between his age, gender, and his childlike appearance, he fought hard in his job search—only to be thwarted by his girlish looks.

"Do you know what a psychopath is?"... more>>

"It’s a form of antisocial personality disorder, but it’s innate—hardwired from birth."

"Genetic anomalies cause lesions in the frontal lobe of the brain."

"The result? They lack the capacity for emotion, for empathy. No guilt, no remorse. Morality is a foreign concept to them."

"They’re masters of deception, skilled liars who can mimic human emotions flawlessly, blending into society without a trace."

"Now, here’s the real question: if such a monster were to suddenly gain a normal brain—if their missing pieces were somehow restored—would they become more dangerous, or would they finally resemble something human?"

In the shadows, a slender figure slowly crouched low, the glint of a silver blade catching the faint light. The edge pressed coldly against a throat.

"So," the voice was calm, almost clinical, "this is why you turned me into a woman?" <<less
