Fang Chen discovered that he had transmigrated into a fantasy novel, becoming the villainous Holy Son.... more>>

Villains usually have great talent, powerful backgrounds, and high status. He possessed a Dao Body constitution and held the position of Holy Son in the Cloud Heaven Holy Land—second only to the Sect Master and above everyone else.

He was also deeply devoted, having always pursued the female lead, Lin Luowei, wholeheartedly. However, the female lead mistakenly believed he was the one who had destroyed her clan. She hated him deeply. And due to the protagonist’s carefully orchestrated “hero saves the beauty” act, she ended up falling for the protagonist and left with him.

Fang Chen thought, “With such great conditions, why not do something worthwhile instead of being a pathetic simp?”

At that moment, Fang Chen obtained a system.

In just over half a month, he broke through an entire major realm. His cultivation soared.

Unexpectedly, the female lead began to hear Fang Chen’s inner thoughts. She discovered that he wasn’t her clan’s mu*derer, but instead her savior. The true enemy was actually the protagonist’s father. Her character completely collapsed, and her attitude toward Fang Chen took a 180-degree turn.

Fang Chen’s decision to give up caused the protagonist to face no suppression. As a result, he missed out on many opportunities to grow stronger, and the usual cool plotlines started turning against him.

The female lead said, “Fang Chen, I misunderstood you. I want to be the woman who stands behind you, shielding you from the wind and rain.”

The protagonist shouted, “Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west! Don’t look down on the poor youth! Everyone who bullied me will pay the price!”

Fang Chen replied, “You two, stay away from me. I just want to do nothing.”

But after giving up, Fang Chen realized—the characters of both the protagonist and female lead had completely collapsed! <<less

Zhou An woke up one morning as the Emperor of the Qianyuan Empire. He initially thought he could revel in the company of beautiful women and wield absolute power over the world.... more>>

However, he discovered he was merely a puppet emperor, a pawn used by the Empress Dowager to maintain stability before her own ascension to the throne. He was expendable, liable to be discarded at any moment.

On the empire's borders, foreign tribes were restless, taking advantage of the new emperor's lack of authority, perceived weakness, and the ensuing chaos within the court and the country to invade. They clamored to execute the "incompetent ruler" and "save" the people of Qianyuan from their plight.

Jiang You: “Hey, zombie up front, wait a second. Is that brain of yours ripe yet?”

However, Sjoerd, known for his cruel methods but incomparable abilities, ended up harming countless people during a sudden rampage in a battle against monsters. Consequently, he met his death at the hands of Prince Reuschers, the Crown Prince's rival and the strongest Guide.

"There will never be anyone as terrible as you in this world."

"Congratulations on your marriage, Kaindel."... more>>

Isaac, who had been Kaindel’s lover—the hero who saved the world from the Great Calamity—learned one day that Kaindel was engaged to a princess.

Exhausted by their already strained relationship, Isaac eventually decided to leave Kaindel, who had betrayed him.

However, Kaindel wouldn’t let him go.

In the end, Isaac fled, unable to endure Kaindel's refusal to give up either the marriage to the princess or his relationship with Isaac.

Not long after, rumors began to spread throughout the kingdom: the hero had gone mad.

***

[From Isaac Winter, who once loved you]

"......."

Kaindel read and reread the last line of the letter, but the words didn’t change.

'Once loved.'

Isaac really wrote his feelings in past tense.

"Ah."

He never thought Isaac would leave him.

No, he never believed he could be abandoned.

Even if they parted ways, he was sure it would be on his terms.

Because Isaac loved him.

Because being loved by Isaac was, for Kaindel, something so natural.

"Why......."

But it had all been an illusion.

"Why didn’t I see it?"

Now, the one left behind like a forgotten relic was Kaindel, him.

The one clinging to the past, too blind to see the present, was none other than himself.

He only realized it now, after he left him.

Suddenly, Isaac’s voice, long buried in his memory, resurfaced.

Isaac’s smiling face filled his vision, his silver eyes, like clear glass marbles, gleaming with a thousand bright stars, painfully vivid.

The sound of Isaac’s innocent laughter echoed in his mind. "I love you," Isaac had once whispered.

When Kaindel's mind wondered around, did Isaac’s laughter disappeared?

No matter how much he tried to remember, the moment escaped him.

He searched his memory in vain.

As Kaindel traced the days gone by, thick tears began to fall.

Like melting ice dripping onto the budding new leaves of spring, his tears left indelible marks on Isaac's letter.

"Where is he?"

"......."

"Find him."

"Immediately."

Kaindel finally crumbled.

In the place where his arrogance shattered, a deep regret settled in.

It was a perfect despair. <<less

She was a secret guard, codenamed 37, later named Qingge by Ning Wang.... more>>

One day, she narrowly escaped death and was sent out to recover from her injuries. On the way, someone approached her, claiming she resembled the young lady he served. The young lady was suffering from a chronic illness, and he asked her to take her place in the wedding, hiding the truth from the groom for five months. The man offered her a generous sum of silver notes, and Qingge, being greedy, accepted.

But what she never expected was that the fiancée’s groom turned out to be none other than her master, Ning Wang…

Fortunately, no one knew the face of the secret guards, except for Heaven, Earth, and their Pavilion Master. Ning Wang had no idea. Qingge successfully hid her identity and cautiously played the role of a Wangfei.

Ning Wang was extraordinarily handsome but had a violent temper. One day, while investigating a traitor, he harshly interrogated all the secret guards. One of them ended up being punished for a trivial matter, receiving a hundred whip lashes, leaving the ground stained with blood. Ning Wang remained indifferent.

The Emperor arranged a marriage for Ning Wang with the legitimate daughter of the presitigious Xiahou clan of Ganliang. The Wangfei was gentle, charming, and pure in nature. Initially, Ning Wang was indifferent and cautious but eventually fell for her.

After ten months of pregnancy, the Wangfei gave birth to a son. When she returned after a visit to her natal family, Ning Wang gripped her by the throat and coldly demanded, “Where is this prince’s Wangfei?”

Though the woman before him looked alike, she was not her.

It was then that he realized the Wangfei he had shared his life with was a fake, brought in by the Xiahou family with money!

In his fury, Ning Wang unleashed a bloodbath.

Afterward, he searched everywhere for that woman, but despite turning the world upside down, he could not find her.

Three years passed, and Ning Wang’s initial rage and hatred turned into silence and contemplation, eventually giving way to quiet coldness.

Until one day, under the dim light of the waning moon, he gazed at the fallen phoenix tree leaves at his feet, covering the elongated shadow of the secret guard behind him.

In a low voice, he asked, “It’s you, isn’t it?” <<less
