I was summoned to a fantasy world by the Demon King due to my overwhelming negative energy.... more>>

Demon King: "Servant hidden with dark power, reveal your talent to me!"

Me: "I... am an accountant."

Demon King: "What?"

Hello, I am now an accountant for the demon camp.

We work four days and rest three, have comprehensive insurance and provident funds, 15 months of salary, an ignorant leader (the Demon King), harmonious colleagues (dragons, demons, etc.), and flexible leave policies.

Under the eerie green light, at the Demon King's luxurious long conference table, with the top ten villain leaders watching, I laid out a blank sheet of paper. "Our goal this year is a profit of 100,000!"

A cold and arrogant young dragon sneered, his sapphire-like eyes dazzling, "Such a small amount is considered a goal? How much did we earn last year?"

I said, "A deficit of 2.6 billion."

Meanwhile, the God of Light Archbishop, who was also summoning souls from another world to find a saint, exclaimed: "Where is my saint! I had such a big saint!"

God of Light: "I saw her come."

Two seconds later.

God of Light: "I saw her leave." <<less

[Serious Synopsis] :

Years later, staring at the protagonist who’d just taken a bullet to the head, Xǔ Shí—the transmigrator who became the villain of the story—couldn’t help but recall that distant afternoon from the original plot.

He still didn’t get it. What did the protagonist ever have to fight him with?

A bit of wit and a few little inventions?

In the face of the conglomerate’s overwhelming power, those tricks were utterly worthless.

The so-called love and justice he always preached?

How laughable. In the City of Night Sins, those are always the cheapest commodities.

Concise Version:... more>>

From their first encounter, Bai Meng was so terrified by the protagonist that he collapsed to his knees.

In the end, Bai Meng was frightened by the protagonist into being gay…

This is truly a tragic (but comedic) story that turns sorrow (into laughter).

Plot Version:

Bai Meng has lived through the prehistoric era to the modern day, enduring a leisurely, uneventful life. Who would have thought that after merely taking a nap, he would wake up inside a beast-themed abusive novel, cast as a minor cannon fodder character?

Revenge, leveling up, face-slapping… none of these will happen (:з」∠).

— Bai Meng is a hamster spirit, while the protagonist’s beast form is a giant serpent…

Content Warnings:

① Cold-hearted, ruthless dragon seme × dramatic hamster uke with maxed-out combat power and taunting skills.

② Aside from the protagonist, the hamster bows to no one. He acts immediately and decisively!

③ This is not an angst-filled story. The hamster is a master of drama, often known as the “mood-breaker”!

④ In the original abusive novel, the uke becomes the seme, but when the hamster transmigrates, it’s still during the emotionally painful period. No infidelity here! <<less

I’ve possessed the popular villain in a novel. So, I’m going all out.

[Watching the fun without feeling bored bottom x seemingly cold CEO, but actually loves to eat melons top] ... more>>

Wage worker An Xia dies suddenly due to working overtime all night, and when he opens his eyes again, he is transmigrated into a bloody and abusive love ABO Mary Sue novel, and becomes the assistant of the biggest villain CEO in the book, Fu Qingchen.

The villain CEO is young and promising, rich and handsome, but because he cannot get the love of the protagonist, he resorts to extreme measures, and is ultimately sent to prison by the protagonist bottom.

An Xia sighs at this— how did he become this top love-brain’s employee🙂

After all, everyone knows that it is not easy to be an assistant to the chairman, and it is even more difficult to be an assistant in a Mary Sue novel.

He was originally a miserable wage earner in his previous life, and he never expected that he’d still be a wage earner even after transmigrating!

An Xia had a smile on his face, but cursed inwardly: [No real person would arrange a task like finding out someone’s ancestry within three minutes, no way, no way. People who force others to do things will have no toilet paper when they go to the restroom in the future, hehe.]

Fu Qingchen, who was about to ask An Xia to find out all the background information of the protagonist bottom, suddenly paused, and his original words were swallowed back: “…Assistant An, please make me a cup of coffee.”

An Xia, who had been sitting for a long time and had a sore back, immediately agreed: “Okay!”

*

It is said that Fu Qingchen, the CEO of Fu Group, is at the top of Haicheng’s diamond bachelor list. According to informal statistics, the number of people chasing him could circle around Haicheng five times.

At a banquet, Fu Qingchen was taking a c*cktail from the protagonist bottom, and An Xia, who was standing next to him, had bright eyes—

[Ah! The protagonist added a lot of ingredients to this glass of wine, and they are all imported goods! Is the Chairman finally going to be taken down tonight!]

Fu Qingchen’s hand holding the glass trembled slightly, and he turns his head and stuffed the glass of wine back into the hands of the protagonist bottom.

*

On a sunny afternoon, Fu Qingchen was just about to play a round of golf to relax, but An Xia’s eyes lit up again—

[Eh! Fu Qingchen must have broken both hands in today’s golf game, which caused his ability to take care of himself to plummet. It is said that he can’t even wear underwear properly.]

[In the end, the protagonist bottom took this opportunity to finally take advantage of him, and even touched that unspeakable place…]

Fu Qingchen’s body trembled, and he sent a huge sum of money to An Xia with trembling hands: “An, An Xia, I suddenly want to drink coffee again. Please go again, I will reimburse you for the cost.”

An Xia was shocked by the million dollar coffee reimbursement on his card: [But I heard that drinking so much coffee will affect the function of that place, it won’t work in the future!]

Fu Qingchen collapsed: “I don’t want coffee anymore, change it to Nongfu Spring Water!”

*

It’s still an ordinary working day. Fu Qingchen, who was handling work, heard a familiar voice again. He subconsciously became nervous, fearing that An Xia would speak wildly again—

[OMG! Has the identity of the protagonist bottom, the fake young master, finally been discovered? Now the real young master has gone to his house, and they are arguing about doing a paternity test!]

Fu Qingchen, who finally heard other people’s gossip, breathed a sigh of relief, and silently put down the documents in his hand and waited for An Xia to continue.

Please talk.

Sure enough, other people’s melons are delicious! <<less

This was the only time in her life that Lin Qiao had a good conscience and did a good deed. She picked up an unconscious man on the roadside. As a result, she was thrown into the hospital by the man, who lost his balance, and lay in the hospital for three days and three nights.

After waking up, a CEO suddenly appeared in her head out of nowhere and taught her how to conquer himself in real life every day.

***

Su Zhengxing is a paranoid villain in a cliche story about a domineering boss. He killed himself in order to compete with the domineering male lead for the female lead. Before he died, he went back to three years ago.

The good news is that he has not met the female lead at this time; the bad news is that only his consciousness has come through.

In order to escape the ending of becoming a clown in the love game between the male and female leads, Su Zhengxing must get married as soon as possible and stay away from the plot!

***

Su Zhengxing: I am 187 cm tall, graduated from a prestigious school, and have both good character and appearance.

Lin Qiao: Not interested.

Su Zhengxing: I have no father, no mother, and no family conflicts. I have a house, a car, and a career.

Lin Qiao: Not interested.

Su Zhengxing: It will be for one year. I will give you 100 million after the task is completed.

Lin Qiao: Marry! Marry right now! Not to mention marriage, I can even have a ghost marriage with you, otherwise, I won’t feel at ease taking this money!

***

In order to get the 100 million and reach the pinnacle of life, Lin Qiao conscientiously learned how to conquer (twist) (grind) him in reality under the guidance of the CEO himself.

When the female lead arrived, Su Zhengxing taught her to ruin their first encounter.

Lin Qiao immediately took a cup of coffee and walked toward the scene.

Lin Qiao: Do you think I can ruin your meeting by pouring this cup of coffee on your heads?

Su Zhengxing: …

The female lead was injured and called for help. Su Zhengxing taught her that she must stop them because true friendship is revealed in times of trouble.

Lin Qiao: Got it! I’ve thrown your phone and clothes into the washing machine, and then called 120 for the female lead!

Advertisement

Su Zhengxing: …

The male lead and female lead broke up, and the female lead went thousands of miles away in grief. Su Zhengxing taught her not to let him chase her.

Lin Qiao shook the mineral water bottle in her hand.

Lin Qiao: Don’t worry! I just put laxatives in your water. You will definitely not be able to leave the toilet today!

Su Zhengxing: …Thank you.

***

According to the setting of the novel, Su Zhengxing is cold-blooded, ruthless, and inhuman before his awakening. He is the executioner feared by everyone in the Baitian Group. He is also a well-known psychopath in the industry.

He climbed step by step from the mud to the clouds. He drank ice for many years and had long been accustomed to hiding his heart under a thick wrap. He never thought that dripping water could penetrate the stone*, and someone actually broke into his heart.

Lin Qiao loves him, understands him, and knows all his emotions. She is the only one who will always move forward toward him no matter how many steps he takes back.

Su Zhengxing never believed in fate, but after meeting her, he was grateful for the arrangement of fate. He thought that all his luck in this life was probably used to meet her.

But it is impossible for someone in this world to be perfectly compatible with you. If there is, then she must be lying to you.

Su Zhengxing knew that Lin Qiao probably stayed with him for other purposes, but he didn’t care.

Since you want to lie, just lie for the rest of your life.

You ask who's behind me?

Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name!

I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life.

I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death.

In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!!

However...

SLAP!!

"So you're the Dragon King, huh?!"

When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink.

Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock.

Heaven is determined to destroy me!!

Four years ago, Mu Xueyi and Zhou Zhenyue broke up.... more>>

Four years later, a news story rocked the business world: the CEO of the Zhou family, unable to let go of her past love, jumped off a building and committed su*cide.

Mu Xueyi had always believed that she didn't like Zhou Zhenyue. The Zhou and Mu families were rival business competitors who couldn't stand each other. When she initially got close to Zhou Zhenyue, it was only because her father forced her to go undercover, assisting the Mu family in stealing business secrets from the Zhou family.

Her father had obtained the documents, and naturally, her connection with Zhou Zhenyue came to an end.

However...

It wasn't until Zhou Zhenyue jumped off the building for her that she suddenly realized why she had been so devastated even after their breakup.

It turned out that she had long fallen in love with Zhou Zhenyue.

There, Sewon meets a man who seems to live in a world entirely different from his own.

Brought together by chance, the two begin traveling as companions, and the more they talk, the more they find themselves drawn to each other…

Under the pretext of alcohol, Sewon confesses to him that the friend he once liked was a “man.”

“Want to come to my room? Tell me if I’m misunderstanding this.”

“…It’s not a misunderstanding.”

The next morning, after an impulsive night with the man, Sewon wakes up and happens to glimpse a message that arrives on the man’s phone.

It was, without a doubt, a sweet message from a lover waiting for their partner to return from the journey.

“Memories from a trip should be left behind at the trip.”

Sewon realizes there is a hidden meaning in the man’s words and, overwhelmed with shame, flees back to Korea.

One year later,

Sewon encounters the man he’d left behind at the travel destination once again.

“Gong Sewon-ssi.”

“Yes.”

“How many Gongs do you think live in Seoul?”

Sewon clenched and unclenched his fists, feeling his mouth go dry.

"I don't need someone with grit, effort, and diligence. I need someone who can work in sync with me without needing me to explain everything from scratch. That's why I requested someone with experience."

Dojun looked at Sewon with an expressionless gaze. There was no warmth in the man’s eyes as he treated Sewon like a colleague or a stranger. Only now, a year later, did Sewon realize how warmly Dojun had looked at him back in Istanbul.

“It’s not that I opposed you because of personal feelings.”
