A genius schemer, creating an emperor!... more>>

“Only when your brother is happy can you be happy.”

She committed all kinds of evil deeds to make him Emperor. However, Artezia’s devotion was repaid with betrayal. It was the Grand Duke Cedric, a righteous enemy, that gave her a hand of salvation at the threshold of death.

“Devise a plan.”
“…”
“I can’t think of anyone but you who can reverse this situation. Marquess Rosan.”
“…”
“Lend me your strength.”

There is no plan that can reverse the already declining power and save the fallen empire. However, there is a method. To turn back time before everything went wrong.

With tears of blood she sacrificed her body to an ancient magic. This time, she will not fall.

Artezia, who returned to the age of 18 before death, resolved to become a villainess for the Grand Duke Cedric.

“Please give me your hand in marriage. I’ll make you emperor.”

In exchange for kneeling to the devil, the devil shall dirty her hands for you. <<less

“You are not the real saint, you’re nothing but a fake—!!!”... more>>

I, Eliane, am suddenly exiled. Not only that, my engagement was also annulled by Claude, who was both my fiancé and the first prince of my country.

Claude claims that Leticia is the ‘real saint’, but I know from the beginning, she is the woman he has been cheating on me with. So here I am, sharing his wish to cancel our engagement.

But, is exiling me truly a wise decision, I wonder? Exiling this me, the actual ‘real saint’ who has been setting up barriers and supporting this kingdom from shadows?

Maybe, just maybe, dragons and archdemons will invade my kingdom starting from tomorrow. Who knows—

—not like it’s any of my business anymore.

I have abandoned my own country and have thus decided to have a peaceful life.

Meanwhile, the kingdom, which has lost its true saint, is on the path to ruin. <<less

From rock bottom to the top, the story of a man who became a God and goes around sleeping with everyone in another world! (He... more>> Does It in the Modern World Too!) <<less

A noble serves the kingdom, they don't work for money. This was the absolute, unspoken rule of the aristocratic world. However, Jeanne de Toulouse, the eldest daughter of the venerable Toulouse count family, was different.... more>>

She'd worked as a tutor for young Master Mael, the son of His Majesty's mistress, for two years. One day, books by Enlightenment thinkers, known for disrupting the order of the monarchy, were discovered in the young master's study. And Jeanne was immediately accused of being the culprit.

"I've never even read that book! I'm hearing the title for the first time!"

Despite her claims of innocence, she was sentenced to exile. Her destination; the Duchy of Skadi, a land inhabited by barbarians, where the bitter wind blows.

Centuries ago, when barbarians from a frozen land across the sea invaded the capital city, the previous king granted this land as a fief, realizing their goal was simply to find habitable land. Now, the descendants of their chieftain held the title of Duke, recognized for their ancestors' contributions to protecting the kingdom.

"We've arrived at the Duchy."

After the arduous journey, Jeanne remembered nothing. All she recalled was the endless cycle of her whole body burning and freezing at the same time.

‘Even I've ended up like this…what if Mother falls ill from the shock?’

‘Wouldn’t it be better to just die here?’

At that moment, her spirit was as weak as her dying body.

After an unknown amount of time, a strange man's voice, different from the ones she'd been hearing, echoed from above her head.

"Did they plan to blame the barbarians again if she died here after being tortured just enough to survive exile?"

The voice was surprisingly resolute and powerful, enough to momentarily hold onto her consciousness, which wavered like a dying candle, briefly brightening and fading again.

"So, she's in this state simply from arriving here, without even being tortured? Even after the prince...lent his own steed? I'll take charge of her now."

With these words, laced with incomprehension, Jeanne’s body was suddenly lifted.

* * *

"Here, everyone works, regardless of age, gender, or social status. The land is vast and there’s a lot to do, but there aren’t many people. This applies to exiles who are occasionally sent from the capital as well."

The Duke of Skadi's words meant he was making good use of the labor of exiles, whether nobles or common criminals. But Jeanne was relieved.

"Then, when should I begin my work?"

“You’re quick to adapt to the situation. You said you were a tutor. What did you teach?"

"I taught foreign languages, humanities, logic, rhetoric, and arithmetic."

However, his suspicious gaze remained. He abruptly spoke in a foreign language. Jeanne had assumed the Duke was skilled in killing people, not humanities. But his knowledge was extensive, and his words revealed sharp logic and thought.

"Let's end this conversation here. I want you to become my child's tutor."

Typically, the lady of the house held the authority to hire nannies and tutors. As if reading her thoughts, the Duke of Skadi explained.

"I have no wife. The child you will teach is my adopted daughter and niece. She was originally my brother’s child, but he passed away, so I took on her upbringing. She turned thirteen this year. What do you think?"

Understanding the situation, Jeanne smiled brightly. There was something odd about the Duke's words, but at least she wouldn't die.

"Yes! I'll do it! I'll be the tutor!" <<less

Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times.... more>>

Good news: He's bound to a system.

Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people's private information and scandals. Utterly useless.

More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown.

Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler... doesn't understand the classics, can't write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel.

...

In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear.

Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System.

[Wow, the emperor just took in a 16-year-old noblewoman yesterday! A beautiful addition! He's getting stronger with age! And he was tossing and turning in bed all night but still has such a powerful voice now! Amazing!]

[This noblewoman used to be the crown prince's concubine! And the crown prince even knows how to write passionate love letters!]

[Wow wow wow! The crown prince sneaked into the grandpa's harem... hiss—got intimate while the old emperor was attending court! Do it quickly! Why isn't there any video...]

[Huh? Why is there no sound?]

Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around.

[What happened? Why is everyone kneeling? Where's the emperor?]

—The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem.

*

The "imperial exam cheating" bomb finally exploded.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn't match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn't understand the classics.

The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary:

How do I explain the source of my information...

[Say that I secretly met with the Chief Examiner, the Minister of Rites, three nights before the exam? Impossible, that night, the Minister of Rites was dressed as a woman, spent the night at the General's Mansion, with the general...]

The general's body shook, and he interjected: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there's still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu... Xu... Xu Yanmiao's attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!"

The crown prince, who couldn't hear his thoughts: ??

[Also, what's with saying that the examiner faking yawning and tiredness was intentionally leaving me a gap for cheating? He spent the night before the exam in the pigsty without sleeping, how could he not be tired the next day? But, surprisingly, the Imperial Academy lecturer actually believed in pig's milk...]

The Imperial Academy lecturer's face went pale, and he burst out: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"I... I agree with the General's words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He... he... he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!"

Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ??

Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved.

[They're all good people, even if their brains don't work well, they're trying their best to find reasons and excuses for me.]

[But I really have no way to turn the tables, alas, it's a pity that I haven't finished watching the TV series I've been following. The old emperor angered the empress last night and got kicked out of the bedchamber, and now I'm going to die before seeing the ending. He seems to be planning to paint his face with ink and pretend to be a cat to cheer up the empress...]

"Bang—"

The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: "I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!"

The civil and military officials couldn't wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip.

"Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You've tired him out by making him stand for so long!"

The crown prince: ??

Did Xu Yanmiao drug them with hallucinogens or something? <<less

Others usually appeared as human when they possessed a book, but I… possessed a doll. It was also the favorite doll of the tyrant, whose head was sent flying by the male lead.... more>>

'I’ve already died once. I don’t want to die again!'

To survive, I must reform the tyrant.

To do that, I first need to move my body… What? Oh, it's moving?

"Are you really Chloe? No, who are you?"

The young emperor of the Burgundy Empire, a tyrant fated to die, stood before me. My goal? Reclaim my body while reforming him!

* * *

Her hair wasn't black. Instead, it was golden—shiny and bright, just like the doll's.

Standing frozen in shock, Declan asked again, his voice trembling.

"Chloe… Is it really you? But why do you look like a doll?"

Ever since the doll had moved its hand, he had hoped that Chloe might be inside it. Now, with a translucent figure resembling the doll standing before him, his hope grew.

Because in the end, people believed what they wanted to believe.

"I’m not the princess."

His eyes shook greatly at the firm response. <<less

The Marquis Yunyang was deposed by the Emperor and his family ended up in dire straits overnight.

Having no other choice, she set up a cosmetics shop in Chang’an.... more>>

But to the eyes of all, especially her relatives’, she had become nothing but an alluring flower any man could pick at will.

Passing by her Baixiang Pavilion, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Zhen, Lu Yan, witnessed her being harassed by the idle sons of Chang’an’s leading class. Her appearance reminded him of dreams that had been plaguing him lately, revealing to him a past with her and the sultry love affair they had shared in a previous life.

With shaking fingers, he also remembered the bitter taste of heartbreak when she left him to marry another man.

Thus, in this life, he decided to save her once more, lure her into an affair, install her as his mistress and never let her escape his sphere of influence again.

However, to keep Shen Zhen by his side, finding her a place to stay and caring for her brother was not enough. Little did Lu Yan know he would be pulled into the darkest corners of Chang’an and take part in games of power that at times implicated the Main Gentleman of the Empire, the Emperor himself. Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.

All for the sake of Chang’an’s First Beauty. <<less

The next day after sleeping with the Taoist priest, Xu Yanqing patted his bu*t and ran away, figuring he was free to live his life without anyone bothering him. Things were going great, but there was one tricky problem: why was his belly getting bigger day by day...?

All the civil and military officials in the court knew their Majesty was a Taoist priest with a pure heart and few desires. But then, at some point, a delicate yet lazy young man appeared by His Majesty's side. And then, without anyone realizing it, His Majesty started bringing a baby to court!

His Majesty was also troubled, and so was the little prince.

Xu Yanqing: Waking up is impossible, and taking care of the child is also impossible, unless... everyone sleeps together! <<less

Subjected to live the life of a siren, Aria had experienced, seen, and heard many horrific things. Broken beyond repair, Aria resigned herself to death, when suddenly…

The Grand Duke, Lloyd Cardence Valentine, arrived and whispered.

“Should I kill everyone here?”

“If you need me, just call me. Your song will always reach me, wherever you are.”

In the end, Aria called the devil, bringing death to all those present, along with herself.

“Let’s fall to hell together.”

And with that, Aria breathed her last and died… only to return to her 10-year-old self.

Now that she had a second chance at her life, Aria was determined to change her fate, as well as the cruel fate of her saviour, Grand Duke Valentine.

And so… Aria proposed to him with a marriage contract.

She sold her soul to the devil and vowed to protect him.

[Marry me.]

Aria extended her hand and gave him the contract.

[Let’s get divorced in 10 years…]

The young duke took the contract from her hand.

“So, where should I stamp the seal?”

She decided to never follow the plot after her rebirth while keeping her distance from The Male Lead.

“I must write the greatness of Her Highness the Empress as a pamphlet and spread it throughout the Empire!”

“You did a great job! The Empress must be a saint!”

“I would gladly give this one life for the sake of the Empress!”

Did I work too hard? Everyone seems to like me very much. And besides…

“What are you doing here…”

“Is it strange for a husband to find himself in his wife’s bedroom?”

The attitude of the man who hated her terribly also became quite strange somehow…?

Finally, the news that the heroine had appeared. Now it was time for the extras to disappear just as they were in the original. She stamped the divorce papers without any regrets and took them to her husband…

“…Divorce?”

“You will dethrone me and the new Empress… Wait, what are you doing?”

Before she could finish speaking, he tore the divorce papers to shreds. He responded to her with a calm face.

“I won’t.”

“Are you going to go against the blessing?”

“That’s out of question.”

“I beg your pardon?’”

I was dumbfounded, and he came close to me.

With a dangerous face, he said as if growling in the narrow hunger for a kiss.

“You promised to stay by my side until the day I die.”

When Shu Cai woke up, he found that he had become the last giant panda cub in the interstellar, sent as a rare species to the Imperial Capital.

The Imperial Marshal was especially terrifying, with gray-green eyes like a demon’s. It was rumored that he ate animals alive every day. The rarer, the more desirable.

Everyone lamented that the panda was doomed.

Fearing the day the Marshal’s appetite might turn on him, Shu Cai tried his best to remain inconspicuous, trembling with caution.

However, he soon discovered that each time he made close contact with the Marshal, he gained a chance to transform into a human.

So, he had to endure the embarrassment of being treated like a pet, bearing with all sorts of intimate skin-to-skin interactions, while staying close to the Marshal to accumulate time to transform. Occasionally, he’d sneak out to find an escape route.

A few days later, someone spotted a breathtakingly beautiful young man near the Marshal’s residence, with the Marshal’s emblem adorned in his cuffs.

The young man instantly went viral across the web, sparking a whirlwind of rumors about his scandalous connections with the Marshal and shaking the entire Empire.
