Ji Rong died suddenly after staying up all night playing an online game, only to wake up as the evil villainess who meets her demise at the hands of the heroine in the game’s ending.... more>>

Determined to change her fate, she resolved to fight against the heroine until the bitter end. But then, the sweet and naive heroine unexpectedly… awakened.

A certain “mad dog” pounced on her, whispering teasingly into her ear:

“Senior Sister, isn’t this fun?”

Expressionless, Ji Rong replied, “Not at all.”

Now, facing the heroine who radiates dark energy and wears “I’m no good” on her face, Ji Rong could only weep internally and curse the game developers for ruining her youth.

From a near-death awakening:

“I can’t believe it—the NPC… is me!”

Having reincarnated as the villainous Senior Sister, Ji Rong initially thought she was handed the script for The Villain’s Redemption Story—or at least I Became a Light at the End of the Game.

Bai Feng transmigrated—and he has a younger sister born with Immortal Bones.... more>>

He initially thought that as long as he clung tightly to his sister’s thigh, he could live a carefree life in this perilous world of cultivation. Until he woke up one day to discover that his mother was preparing to extract his sister’s Immortal Bones and implant them into him.

Only then did he realize he was holding the villain script!

Right at that moment, the System appeared. As long as he targeted any Child of Destiny and seized the Child of Destiny’s providence value, he could receive generous rewards.

At the same time, however, if he plundered too much providence, it would draw the Child of Destiny’s wariness—or even outright hostility.

Looking at the three Children of Destiny in this single city, Bai Feng decided—forget it!

Whoever wants to be the villain can go ahead; there are already three Children of Destiny in this one city alone. He didn’t even dare imagine how many Children of Destiny might exist across the entire world.

So, when the sects were recruiting disciples, he avoided that sect full of Children of Destiny. He also steered clear of those professions they frequented. Every day, he would just draw some ecchi arts, listen to music, and do whatever he felt like.

Many years later, Tianji Tower had the opportunity to interview some Children of Destiny who were close to Bai Feng, asking them for their thoughts on him:

Child of Destiny A: “No one understands Bai Feng better than I do. He’s nothing like the rumours that claim he coveted the Immortal Bones out of selfishness. On the contrary, he has no interest in Immortal Bones and has secretly been protecting his sister all this time.”

Child of Destiny B: “Many people call me a Child of Destiny, someone fated by the heavens. But in my opinion, Brother Bai is the true favored son of heaven. He’s warmhearted and upright, walking the path of immortality with an ordinary body.”

Meanwhile, Bai Feng, who was watching this interview, slowly tapped out a ‘？’

They’re slandering me!

And you bunch of Children of Destiny—stay away from me! <<less

Jiang Sui transmigrated into a historical romance novel as a background character, so insignificant that she didn’t even deserve a name in the original story. But the moment she heard the name Xiao Hechuan, she didn’t hesitate to take her regretful sister’s place and marry him, even though Xiao Hechuan was considered a fool at the time.... more>>

Because she knew that before long, this so-called fool would regain his senses, rise through the imperial exams, and eventually become the top scholar in the country. Jiang Sui had no desire to suffer through a hard life, so she chose to latch onto this future bigshot early on.

Gu Qingci died unexpectedly in the apocalypse, only to wake up transmigrated into the body of the scummy wife of the female lead in an ancient ABO novel.

As a fallen noble who married a merchant’s daughter, she not only lived off her wife’s wealth but also looked down on her. She mistreated her, took multiple concubines, and after draining her wife’s fortune, divorced her to marry someone else. In the end, her ex-wife, who had risen to become the richest imperial merchant, and her new wife, the eldest princess, conspired to have her exiled to the army, where she died of starvation and cold.

When Gu Qingci transmigrated into this world, she found herself holding a cane, about to beat her kneeling wife—pressuring her for money to take a concubine.

Gu Qingci, whose survival instincts were honed in the apocalypse, immediately dropped to her knees in front of her wife.

Wife: ???!!!

Gu Qingci, teary-eyed and pitiful: Sister, what’s a concubine? Can you eat it? I only want you!

(Frantically hinting: Rich wife, hungry, food, sob sob, obedient, helpless, can eat a lot.)

…

Ruan Zhi noticed that her good-for-nothing wife—whose only redeeming quality was her beauty—had been acting strange lately. She seemed dumb but not entirely.

She no longer complained about Ruan Zhi’s "stink of copper" defended her everywhere, voluntarily handed over household management, and let her take full control of their estates and shops. To avoid taxes, she even took the military imperial exams and became a scholar!

Just as Ruan Zhi thought she was plotting something big, Gu Qingci brought her to meet the emperor’s eldest daughter and smirked: Sister, want a wife? I’ll help you! After the divorce, you keep all the assets—I just want a 10% cut.

Ruan Zhi: …

Once Ruan Zhi understood her wife’s intentions, she leaned in close, her breath warm against Gu Qingci’s ear, and whispered: If you want your cut, you’d better learn how to please me. Do it wrong, and you won’t get a single coin.

…

Later, to protect her soft, fragrant rice bowl (cough), Gu Qingci became a great general defending the nation, then an imperial prince of the highest rank.

During court, the emperor tried to bestow noblewomen upon her as concubines.

Just as everyone expected her to kneel in gratitude, Gu Qingci trembled and said: Your Majesty, please have mercy! I don’t want to go home and kneel on an abacus—have pity on this subject!

Before: Rich wife, hungry, food!

After: Darling, hungry, darling~ <<less

Jiang Muti was a sharp-tongued campus beauty in her past life, arrogant and ruthless, with a venomous mouth. ... more>>

Later, she was reborn as a 200-pound girl in the book!

This girl had just confessed her love to the campus prince, only to begin the countdown to being bullied by all the girls in the school.

In the book, this is merely a supporting character to highlight the male lead's charm, not even a cannon fodder.

Jiang Muti raised her eyes and smiled. Stirring up trouble? Forming cliques? Selling people and still expecting her to help count the money?

This trick? Your grandaunt's already played it and left it behind. <<less

Alpha here is normal woman (not futa, only has pheromone)... more>>

A light-hearted, humorous, face-slapping, satisfying read.

A quirky and clever Alpha × a cold, black lotus Omega.

Jiang Ci transmigrated into the role of a cannon-fodder villain in an ancient ABO novel.

The original body, a prestigious first-rank military marquis with illustrious battle achievements, married the female lead out of lust for her beauty.

After marriage, his true nature was revealed: he imprisoned and ab*sed her, and as a womanizer, he filled his courtyard with concubines, favoring them over his wife… In the end, he was mutilated by the blackened princess, who removed his gland, severed his limbs, and locked him in a pitch-dark dungeon.

When Jiang Ci transmigrated, she found herself straddling the female lead, engaged in unspeakable acts.

Jiang Ci immediately revealed her true self: “I’m not Gao Yi! I won’t take the blame for this! I can even prove it by breakdancing!”

Female lead: “???”

The system issued a task: “Please fix the messed-up plot, torment the female lead, and promote her descent into darkness.”

Jiang Ci: “No time for you.”

System: “???”

…

Jiang Ci had been single for over twenty years and had only ever liked one fictional character.

Now that she had transmigrated into her lord, how could she not seize this heaven-sent opportunity?

No matter who you are, she would confront heaven and earth, and teach a lesson to anyone who bullied the female lead!

After all, she had become the villain—it would be a shame not to act domineering and arrogant!

She gave her all to the female lead, protecting her at every turn, helping her build her career, and imparting all her skills… Only to eventually realize that she was just a substitute, that the female lead had always harbored a white moonlight in her heart.

All the ambiguity between them was because she resembled that person.

Jiang Ci: “Can I know who she is?”

Female lead: “No.”

Jiang Ci was finally numb. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she exchanged rewards with the system and returned to her original world.

…

Later, the woman who had ascended to the pinnacle of power got drunk at a palace banquet. “Have you found her?”

Maid: “Your Highness has forgotten, she was a soul transmigrator, not belonging to this world. We don’t even know her real name.”

The wine cup fell to the ground, and the woman’s eyes dimmed.

…

When Jiang Ci woke up again, she found herself still in the novel, but now she had transmigrated into her own body, and ten years had passed.

The young girl she once needed to protect had now become the powerful and influential Grand Princess. It was said that this Grand Princess was cold and aloof, with her only peculiar hobby being to capture those with eccentric personalities and suspected of having delusions.

Jiang Ci wanted nothing to do with the Grand Princess this time and tried her best to keep her identity hidden.

However, the Grand Princess, after ten years, had thoroughly studied all of Jiang Ci’s tactics, surpassing her teacher and excelling even further. <<less

Summary 1:... more>>

"Even if it's a one-for-one trade, I will take over his company."

These were the last words Luan Yenan said before transmigrating into a book.

As the sole head of a Fortune 500 investment company, she never expected her end to be dying from overwork after three sleepless days and nights, only to transmigrate into a novel.

The character she transmigrated into was a crazy, abusive Alpha who tormented the female lead before having her glands removed by the seemingly innocent but secretly cunning female lead.

Crazy? Perfect, I’m crazy too.

Abusive Alpha? Sorry, I’m single and not interested.

As for the female lead, are you talking about the little girl I’ve pinned down, teary-eyed and begging for mercy?

Seemingly innocent but secretly cunning? Interesting.

Let me personally train her. I want to see how she plans to cut out my glands.

Summary 2:

Zuo Baixuan, who had just differentiated into an Omega, was sold by her adoptive parents to a crazy, abusive Alpha. She thought her life would be plunged into darkness from then on.

Unexpectedly, on the first day of their marriage, when she was pinned down, the Alpha, who was on the verge of losing control, suddenly calmed down and retracted her pheromones after Zuo Baixuan said, "I want to graduate smoothly, I don’t want to have a child so early."

After that, the previously good-for-nothing Alpha seemed like a completely different person. She became a guest professor at the university, started a company, helped Zuo Baixuan seek revenge, and together they reached the pinnacle of life.

One day, Luan Yenan’s pheromones went haywire, and she lay on her deathbed: "I’ll set you free, let’s get a divorce."

Zuo Baixuan chuckled, grabbed Luan Yenan’s hands, and pulled her closer: "I’ve already graduated."

"So?"

"I want to have a child. With you."

Let’s see who’s really the crazy one. <<less

After Ji Qingzhou died, he reincarnated as a vicious cannon fodder character from a certain book. In the original story, he committed many crimes and was ultimately subjected to death by slicing by the regent, his corpse left exposed in the wilderness.... more>>

When Ji Qingzhou arrived in this new life, he hadn’t yet antagonized the regent. He decided to bide his time and avoid provoking the regent, who held the power of life and death.

However, he didn’t expect that his first encounter with the regent would involve a beautifully dressed and handsome young man who was on the brink of losing his sanity due to some kind of drug-induced torment. Seeing the impending disaster, Ji Qingzhou reluctantly intervened to help, only to find himself entangled in the situation…

Afterward, Ji Qingzhou lived in constant fear, worried that if the regent recognized him, he would be silenced. To make matters worse, he noticed that his stomach was gradually getting bigger…

The entire court knew that the regent had always hated eunuchs, but at some point, a strikingly handsome young eunuch appeared by his side.

Everyone waited to see when the young eunuch would be dismissed, but unexpectedly, the young man continued to rise in status…

One day, the regent suddenly declared that Ji Qingzhou no longer needed to serve him.

People rejoiced, thinking they had finally seen the end of the young man’s rise.

Yet, behind the screen, the regent gently coaxed the young man: “I don’t want to make you suffer. How about… you only serve me in the bedroom from now on?”

Seeing the young man remain silent, the regent leaned in and softly murmured in his ear: “I’ll serve you…” <<less

Synopsis:... more>>

There's nothing that Yu Wan has in common with her new neighbor, whether it's charisma, personality, or cooking skills, other than that they both own dogs. Their two cute pets get along well (a bit far too well) and start what seems like a rocky friendship between the two; however, Yu Wan has more important things to worry about. Her wildly popular novel is about to take off into a drama adaptation, but the handsome, mysterious, and callous neighbor is the director?!

Excerpts:

Reporter: Director Shen, between you and your wife, who pursued whom?

Shen Qingzhou: She pursued me.

Reporter: Wow, how romantic! Then, may I ask, why did you eventually say yes?

Shen Qingzhou (pauses in thought): Probably because... the debts incurred by dogs must be repaid.

Reporter: We heard that Director Shen is very fond of pets. Is it true that you already have two adorable pets at home?

Shen Qingzhou (thinks of someone): To be accurate, I'd say three. <<less
