【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

As he regained his senses, he realized that he had transmigrated into a web novel, and the problem was that it was a dreadful horror novel!... more>>

The world was overflowing with unidentified gods and monsters, and the weakest beings in this universe were humans.

The protagonist, who had possessed the body of 'Arenheit Hartman,' a member of a ruined family in this doomed world, discovered that their family was entwined with mysterious sorcery.

"As a human, I will survive and live like a human."

Can Arenheit, with his rationality intact, reach the ending? <<less

Lin You, the legitimate son of the Lin family, was kidnapped as an infant and not reunited with his family until he was twelve years old.... more>>

By the time he returned, the Lin family had already adopted a boy named Lin Tianyang. Lin Tianyang, who had ingratiated himself with the family, took every opportunity to suppress, manipulate, and frame Lin You, eventually leading to Lin You’s tragic death.

In his previous life, Lin You was humble, cautious, and eager to please, yet he was constantly criticized and used as a foil to highlight Lin Tianyang’s supposed excellence.

“Look at Tianyang, and then look at you. Are you even close to being as good as him? Why are you still trying to compete with him?”

“If you were even half as sensible as Tianyang, we wouldn’t treat you like this. But look at what you’ve done.”

Fine! After being reborn, Lin You resolved to stop trying to please the Lin family at all.

But why did they cry after he left?

Why did the sisters run away from home, one after another, begging Lin You to forgive them? <<less

Three years later, after his master ascended to immortality, Liang Liang, near the Taoist Temple, coincidentally became involved in a battle between an undercover policewoman and a drug lord.

To save the Taoist Temple and his innocent martial brothers, he willingly became a hostage to the drug lord and was kidnapped to an isolated island, where he engaged in a battle of wits and courage against the drug lord... <<less

Jiang Heng lived a carefree life until he was eighteen, when he was suddenly informed that he was the fake young master in a switched-at-birth scenario. The pampered young master of the Jiang family instantly became an orphan with no one to rely on. Before he could recover from this news, an out-of-control truck overturned, crushing him on the spot and ending his life.... more>>

When he woke up again, he found that he had not only transmigrated to four years later, but had also become a stray cat.

A newly weaned, little over a month old, seriously ill kitten, one that could kick the bucket at any moment.

Jiang Heng held up his furry paw, bewildered in the wind, "..."

How can this meow live?

With no survival experience, after getting himself covered in dust and dirt, Jiang Heng, having learned his lesson through painful experience, decided to find a sucker – a human to scam.

So he snuck into the university he had applied to before his death.

He saw Lu Yichuan in the crowd, his childhood friend he grew up with.

The dirty little kitten darted out from the bushes, bumping into Lu Yichuan's shoes, then delicately fell to the ground, his intention to scam very obvious.

Lu Yichuan was about to leave, but when he saw the kitten's bright, star-like eyes, he paused, slowly squatted down, extended a fingertip and poked the kitten's forehead, his voice as gentle as always, "Do you want to come with me?"

"Meow~"

Top-tier meal ticket, activated!

****

Lu Yichuan, a second-year graduate student in the Philosophy Department of A University, is the university's recognized male god, with a reputation so good it's breathtaking.

He is gentle and reasonable, treating everyone with good temper, his words and actions impeccable.

Over the years, countless men and women have confessed their love to him, and he hasn't agreed to any of them.

Someone was curious about what kind of person he likes.

The man looked up at the sky, the sun dazzlingly painful to the eyes.

He smiled and said, "Someone like the sun, I guess."

It's just a pity that his sun sank to the bottom of the sea in his twentieth year.

Since then,

The world could no longer be illuminated by a single ray of light.

****

Jiang Heng felt that becoming Lu Yichuan's cat was the most correct decision he had ever made in his life.

The man never restricted his freedom, cat food was plentiful, canned food was readily available, and he could wander outside for days and nights without being noticed.

Until Lu Yichuan was suddenly hospitalized. When he woke up, he tied a red string around his neck, and everything changed.

The perpetually open window was shut tight, and the man, who often stayed out all night, now spent almost twenty-four hours a day in the dormitory.

If he felt stuffy, the man would take him for a walk. If he felt the dormitory was small, the man would take him to a large villa...

As long as he left Lu Yichuan's sight for more than ten minutes, the man could always pinpoint his location.

He held his favorite canned food in his hand, his eyes holding an unreadable darkness, "Rongrong, it's time to go home."

Jiang Heng: QAQ

He didn't want to go back either, but he had canned food! <<less

In the fifth year of the Qingyuan era, demons ran rampant.... more>>

Three months after the death of the Lady of the Marquis of Jinyang, a new wife entered the household, but she did not get along with the legitimate daughter born of the previous marriage.

A month later, the Marquis of Jinyang claimed the legitimate daughter was not his biological child. Out of sentiment for raising her all these years, he merely expelled her from the household without pursuing the matter of bloodline confusion.

Ji Chan was driven out of her home, gravely injured and on the brink of death.

That night, she encountered an eight-tailed fox who had fled thousands of miles from the Northern Wilderness to the capital in search of a noble title.

The fox asked her: “Do I look like a human?”

Ji Chan replied: “You look more human than all of them.”

The fox said: “Sadly, all eight of my tails have been severed. I can no longer transform into a human.”

Ji Chan said: “It’s alright. I’ll give you this body of flesh and blood. Live on in my place and take revenge for me!” <<less

On the eve of the college entrance exams, the nation’s most talented cultivators are full of ambition, ready to challenge the heavens. Only A’Diao remains timid and unassuming.... more>>

When the competition begins, she quietly pulls out a common, cheap magic staff and casts a curse: “Everyone, turn into pigs!”

Poof, poof, poof!

A group of geniuses, chasing after the exam scrolls on their flying devices, all plummet to the ground, transforming into little pink pigs upon landing.

After taking first place in her group, she screenshots the “pig farm” and posts it to her social feed to gather resentment, captioning it: “What’s there to be proud of in getting first place? After all, what they lost was their score, but what I lost was their love for me~~~”

Mental Energy from all national contestants +99999…

...

Set against a backdrop of a feudal empire with high-level martial arts and technology, this world has robots, spaceships, Taobao, and college entrance exams. It also features a highly stratified society with a ruling imperial court, entrenched noble classes, and powerful corporations that control the lifelines of the economy. Everyone’s life and death are subject to the whims of others.

Some say that with the revival of spiritual energy and the proliferation of subterranean lairs, the Three Kingdoms will fall to a demon king who will slaughter all in his path.

Some say A’Diao is that revived demon king.

Perhaps she is.

...

The world is high-risk. Characters will use any means necessary to get ahead, and the collective morality does not align with modern perspectives (the protagonist is ruthless as well). This is a parallel, fictional world; do not project it onto reality. Readers who are sensitive about moral ambiguity or prefer “pure” characters should avoid this. The views and actions of the characters do not represent the author’s own; this is simply a story.

The female lead follows a grassroots-to-power trajectory. For the first few dozen chapters, she appears to be lying low but is secretly scheming and profiting. This is not an “instant power-up and dominate” story, but she generally doesn’t let her enemies see another day. There are also hidden secrets regarding her family’s enmity. All characters are essentially tools for the plot; the female lead is a professional focused on gaining money and power. The story arc where she dominates everyone begins with the academy assessments.

A proactive spoiler warning: if the two points above are off-putting to you, please do not read. I also politely decline any writing advice. Thank you. <<less

Cheng Ying first saw Jiang Hanguang at a bustling banquet.... more>>

The dignified woman stood gracefully beside her lover, like a rose sealed in a glass jar—forever vibrant, yet forever lifeless.

A pity, but it had nothing to do with her.

The second time they met, the woman was on her film set, having cold water splashed in her face by the lead actor, yet she stood neither servile nor overbearing, like a straight, green pine in the wind and snow.

Cheng Ying had intended to watch a good show, but after meeting Jiang Hanguang's eyes, she couldn't help but step in front of her.

A scarred soul trapped in this incomparably beautiful shell.

It made one want to take her for their own, to protect her.

---

I once saw a unique rose in another's garden. It was the most beautiful flower I had ever seen. A pity it already had an owner, and an even greater pity that the owner was a s*upid ox.

Later, I saw that rose discarded by the roadside, its branches and leaves in disarray, its life fading, about to be trampled into the sunless mud by some insignificant person.

So I snatched her up, planted her in my greenhouse, gave her the best temperature, light, and soil, and watched her slowly bloom into a beautiful flower.

And I waited for this rose to shed its cold shell for me, to kiss my fingertips with its delicate, soft petals.

This is my rose.

But it was just a rose, nothing more.

It wasn't until she grew into my heart that I understood.

She is the beating heart within my cold armor, my one and only lover. <<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.

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

"I told you not to think of other bastards in front of me, Yeo-wool."

The second male lead, Nam Kangwoo

"Be careful."

"...What?"

"Stop moving around so much. I'm trying to hold back."

The third male lead, Seo Jaehoon.

"I'm not going to hold back anymore either."

"..."

"I'm going to have you."

My head is starting to ache from all the incomprehensible things these bastards are spouting.

Why on earth is the female lead nowhere to be seen, and why do you all look at me like you’re desperate to satisfy some insatiable thirst every time our eyes meet?

“We’re all on edge, hanging by a thread. It feels like one more step and we’ll cross the line, but we’re all desperately holding back as if by some unspoken agreement.”

“...”

“Coming over to our side before we cross that line is also an option."

“...”

“Just letting you know.”

What would change if we crossed that line?

Will Yeoul ever be able to escape them? <<less

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
