【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

Jiang Nanshu is transmigrated into a vicious wealthy real daughter in a bloody novel, and is bound to ‘Everyone’s Disgust System’. If everyone's disgust value toward her reaches 100 points, she can return to her original world with a bonus of 10 billion.

Courting death is just one of her many skills.

With a disgusting value of 89 at the beginning, Jiang Nanshu set a small goal for herself: In half a year, she will live a life of picking up money.

But she didn't know why everyone could hear her inner voice!

Facing the crazy Big Brother: "I think this project is good and can make a lot of money"

Inner voice: “You are bound to lose money, Big Bro! When you go out to work on a project, your rivals will come and steal your company secrets.”

Facing the cold medical Second Brother: "You colleagues have dinner. The dishes are delicious."

Inner voice: “Second Brother picks up the food and I turn the table, so the infectious disease can’t catch up with me.”

Facing the sickly scientific research Third Brother: "Third Brother is so amazing. He can do such an amazing experiment. Keep going!"

Inner voice: “The experiment is going to explode. This sister will leave gracefully.”

Facing the singer Fourth Brother: "These songs are very suitable for you. Sing them all, and you will become famous in no time."

Inner voice: “Hehe, just wait for the news of tax evasion to be exposed.”

Facing the love-brained Fifth Brother: "She can take time out of her busy schedule to accompany you for an hour, which means she loves you!"

Inner voice: “It's green like a green grassland. Your goddess has one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. You never expected that, did you?”

The male lead looks at her with a gradually deep look in his eyes: "Let's be together."

Jiang Nanshu covers her face and cries: "Don't let Sister Su misunderstand. I am not worthy!"

Cen Lingqiu, a veteran agent of the Book Transmigration Bureau, takes on one last mission before retirement: to stop the female lead from committing su*cide.... more>>

The female lead is beautiful and frail, disabled in both legs. The male lead treats her as a stand-in for the woman he can never forget, locking her away in his mountainside manor and keeping her in total seclusion. Cen Lingqiu is transmigrated into the body of the male lead's older sister—a villainous side character who relentlessly torments the frail female lead.

The System informs her that the female lead has developed severe self-destructive tendencies. To advance the plot, she must prevent the female lead's su*cide and lower her self-destruction value.

Yu Mingjiao is beautiful but extremely world-weary and gloomy. Dutifully, Cen Lingqiu ignores her coldness, taking her to watch sunsets, nursing her back to health, and showering her with all kinds of kindness.

After faking her death to complete the mission, Cen Lingqiu is on the verge of retirement when the System informs her that the female lead has relapsed. Her mission is a failure.

Cen Lingqiu has no choice but to return to Yu Mingjiao's side, only to die again by accident.

When she returns to Yu Mingjiao's side for a third time, the once gloomy and taciturn female lead has completely descended into madness. Mentally unstable and plagued by hallucinations, she develops an intense possessiveness over Cen Lingqiu, whispering in a neurotic voice:

“Sister Lingqiu, if you leave me again, I'll kill myself.”

Cen Lingqiu: “...”

She realizes the plot has gone completely off the rails; the female lead is insane.

Later, when Cen Lingqiu really does die in front of her three times, it's as if Yu Mingjiao dies with her each time.

Throughout her life, Yu Mingjiao has hated this woman most of all, but she has also loved her most of all. She never imagined that one day, she would be the one crying and begging her not to go.

She would die. <<less

Jiang Si was born with fair skin and striking beauty, radiant and captivating. But one day, she woke up to find herself transmigrated into the world of a period novel, becoming the infamous capitalist heiress of Shanghai.

In the original story, she despised her taciturn and unromantic officer fiancé and dreaded the harsh, resource-scarce life on a remote island, so she stubbornly refused to honor their marriage arrangement.

Little did she know, when the storm of political upheaval arrived, her scheming father and stepmother would first manipulate her into being sent to the countryside, then flee to Hong Kong with the family’s century-old fortune in tow.

Left to suffer alone in the rural backwaters, her health deteriorated within two short years.

But Jiang Si, armed with knowledge of the plot, had no intention of enduring such misery.

They wanted to exile her to the countryside? Fine! She turned the tables, packing off the entire pack of ungrateful relatives to the remote southwest instead.

A mountain of family assets with nowhere to stash them? No problem! After a drop of blood awakened her ancestral space, she swept up all the gold, silver, property deeds, antiques, and paintings—leaving not even a chicken feather behind for them!

No place for a capitalist heiress in the new society? Think again! Jiang Si sent a telegram straight to the military island. Though she braced herself for a life of hardship, she soon discovered that island life wasn’t nearly as tough as she’d imagined.

Her officer husband was not only a man of action but also a master in the kitchen, and his family doted on her beyond measure.

Life with him? Sweeter than honey! <<less

There exists a love that is a sin. Dani's love was one such sin.

Her beautiful and omnipotent father. Her great and magnificent creator. Her sin was that she served two masters.

"Stab your father's heart and crawl back to me," Remington commanded.

Remington, who wished to kill her yet could not, was sad.

"And then tell me you love me, cry, beg, and plead. It felt good when you looked at me with such longing," he continued.

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
