Desperate to return to reality, I did everything I could to bring the two main characters together.

And yet… why can't I go back?

They got their happy ending, so why am I still here?!

Time kept moving forward while I was stuck in frustration.

Eventually, I had no choice but to find a job at the company where the protagonists worked.

Watching them blur the line between work and personal life, constantly causing chaos in the office, I swore to myself—I would never get involved in an office romance.

But then…

"Do you know why I decided to come back?"

"…Why?"

"To marry you, Wookyung."

Now, my old classmate—who somehow returned as the company’s new director—keeps acting strangely.

Seriously, what’s up with him?! <<less

When the time comes, he is abandoned by the female lead, the male is wary of the villain and hates him. He will die very miserably.

Xu Chenghao: “… Come, come, come, please take away your female lead!”

Female lead: “??? Say you love me for the rest of your life and never let me go?”

Xu Chenghao: “I’m sorry, I like men.”

Female lead: “…”

One month later，

The villain and the male lead rushed to his field at the same time and asked, “I heard that you like men?”

“I, Shen Miaomiao, reluctantly took over a game company at the start.”... more>>

Fortunately, the rebate system awakened just in time. As long as the company incurred losses, the system would compensate me with ten times the amount!

So, the goal of this young CEO is to bring the company down! Financial freedom!

“I, Gu Sheng, transmigrated into a game designer at the start.”

Fortunately, the Game Treasury System awakened, allowing me to climb to the throne of the Game King by creating hit games!

So, the goal of this Game Director is to expand and create brilliance once again!

…

When a laid-back CEO encounters a determined game designer, the company’s direction gradually becomes abstract.

“You said no one plays mech games? What is this ‘Titan’s Fall’ you created?”

“You said the horror game market is lacking? What’s the deal with this ‘Escape’ game?”

“You said second-generation shooters are easy to lose money? Are you remaking ‘Call of Duty’?”

As Shen Miaomiao looked at the profitable financial reports, her mind buzzed.

Not a single penny was lost, so she made up her mind!

“From now on, let’s torture the players mercilessly!”

She couldn’t believe that she couldn’t lose this money!

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng unfolded a stack of game proposals in his hands.

“Boss, take a look at these—’Black Blood Renegade’ and ‘Wolf.’ Which one should we start with?” <<less

Song Jinxi really likes the abstinent, overlord villain in a novel about a sadomasochistic president.... more>>

The villain is handsome and indifferent, smarter than a demon, coldhearted and less lustful, and his aura is so cool that it makes one’s legs soft!

A system is bound between them. She was told that the villain has blackened and wants to kill the male and female leads and destroy the world.

The two-dimensional world is facing the danger of collapse, and Song Jinxi turns into a righteous fighter and transmigrates into the novel.

The first time she transmigrated, the villain was still a little beanie, and in order to save him, she sacrificed her life honorably.

The second time she transmigrated, the villain grew into a young boy, and in order to save him, she sacrificed her life again.

The third time she transmigrated, she died again.

The three worst things in the villain’s childhood were avoided by her, but he is still blackened and wants to destroy the world again.

Song Jinxi transmigrated for the fourth time, but she did not expect to be caught by the villain as soon as she landed.

“Do you know how old Secretary Kim is?”

“You’re telling me a thirty-one-year-old man just presented as an omega? And I’m supposed to believe that?”

But then he did present as an omega. Naturally, Kwon Young-jae, who suffers from a serious omega-related neurosis, was furious.

“Sir, thank you for everything until now.”

“I didn’t know you were this irresponsible.”

“You, more than anyone, should know it’s impossible for us to keep working together.”

Heewon resigned according to proper procedures and fully embraced the sweet life of unemployment. Meanwhile, Kwon Young-jae’s daily life fell apart without Secretary Kim.

Eventually, the proud Executive Director Kwon begins his desperate persuasion. His condition is just one: Come back to work!

Zhu Xiang, a professor of agriculture, found himself transported to the chaotic era of the Warring States in the Zhao Country. After much hardship, his life began to improve. His elder sister, who had run away with a wealthy merchant, left her nephew in his care, explaining that she had formed a relationship with another wealthy merchant and couldn’t take care of the child.... more>>

An indignant Zhu Xiang initially considered giving the child to someone else, but then he learned that the child’s name was Zheng, and his father was none other than Sun Yi, a noble from the Qin state. Zhu Xiang was bewildered. “My nephew is Ying Zheng? But my sister’s name isn’t Zhao Ji; it’s Chunhua!”

Determined not to let the future First Emperor disappear from history, Zhu Xiang decided to grit his teeth and tighten his belt to raise the young Emperor Qin. With a “ding,” the cultivation system came online, and he could exchange goodwill with historical figures for superior crops. Tears filled Zhu Xiang’s eyes as he kissed the young Emperor Qin on the forehead. “Truly worthy of being the Future First Emperor! You’re amazing! Just watch, your uncle will cultivate a vast empire for you!”

Many years later, Emperor Qin Shi Huang would still recall his childhood memories. His uncle held his small hand and walked through endless fields, pointing to the vast golden fields that stretched to the horizon. “Zheng, my nephew, your uncle has a dream – to plant superior crops across all the lands bathed in the sun and moonlight, so that everyone in the kingdom can have enough to eat.”

“Uncle, Zheng can conquer all the lands under the sun and moon and give them to you for farming, how does that sound?”

“Ah? Hahaha, that sounds great!” His uncle let out a hearty laugh, lifting him onto his shoulders. “Wherever Zheng’s kingdom expands, your uncle’s fields will follow.”

A large hands firmly holding onto the smaller one. “It’s a promise.”

Qiao Wu was raised in the prestigious, top-tier Lu family, receiving elite, all-rounder education. When she grew up, she took over her father’s position to assist the Lu family heir. Luxury cars, mansions, and a sky-high annual salary—she was supposed to have a boundless future.... more>>

But one week into her new role, she suddenly awakened—she was merely a background character in a melodramatic rich-family novel, playing the role of the Lu family’s steward, and her employers were all villains.

Second Young Master kept a starlet as a mistress and caused trouble for the female lead—she was the one who had to pay them off.

Third Young Master tried to forcefully take the female lead—she was the one who had to shut the door.

When the little miss offended the male lead’s family—she was the one who had to clean up the mess…

And the worst part? She did all of this just to climb into the bed of the powerful heir, Lu Jinzhi, and become the lady of the house.

In the end, the Lu family was destroyed in a revenge arc by the protagonists. Qiao Wu didn’t even leave behind a whole corpse.

And now—she had just finished subtly implying to Lu Jinzhi that she wanted to sleep with him.

Qiao Wu: ???

She could excel in any of the 360 professions.

What kind of insult was this supposed to be?

Faced with these paranoid, useless rich brats who couldn’t be helped, she gave them one final ultimatum:

“Either you get your act together, or I’m finding a new employer.”

The pampered and spoiled Lu family young masters sat up in shock, like dying men who’d been jolted back to life.

—

Qiao Wu was the daughter of the former old steward, which was why Lu Jinzhi had always kept a bottom line when it came to her. But when he received her “sleeping together” hint all the way from abroad, he knew—it was time to fire her.

Before he could send the dismissal, he received another message from Qiao Wu:

“Sent to the wrong person. This is what I meant to send you.”

[1v1] [No System] [Marriage Before Love] [Serious] ... more>>

A hardworking office worker unexpectedly transmigrates into a novel as Shen Xi, the villainous supporting female character.

The original Shen Xi was a wealthy heiress who had returned to China and entered a contract marriage with Gu Hanling, a powerful heir of an elite family. However, she remained obsessed with the novel’s male lead, Shi Jingyan.

As the villainous supporting character, her fate was tragic. Abandoned by the Gu family and ultimately destroyed by the male and female leads' revenge.

Now that Shen Xi has taken over this body, she has no intention of repeating the same mistakes.

Upon learning about the contract, which only requires her to stay out of Gu Hanling’s way—

(Shen Xi: "That’s perfect! (°∀°)b")

—She realizes that all she needs to do is act as a decorative wife for two years and walk away with a hefty fortune.

So, in front of Gu Hanling, she continues the act of being infatuated with the male lead.

Meanwhile, in public, she distances herself from Shi Jingyan and maintains the perfect image of a dignified Mrs. Gu.

Her goal? Stay far, far away from the troublesome male and female leads who are destined to ruin her life.

But things don’t go as planned.

Even worse, the supposedly indifferent and cold Gu Hanling starts looking at her in a way that feels... off.

One night, when Shen Xi returned to the villa and had just stepped through the door, she was suddenly pinned against the wall by a drunken Gu Hanling.

"What are you doing?? You’re drunk?!"

She tries to push him away, but he doesn’t budge.

"I don’t care who you are. If you go looking for Shi Jingyan again… I’ll make the Shi family disappear."

In a world that feels like a familiar game from a past life, Randolph Victor, known as Randy, has trained himself following his curiosity. One day, due to a certain incident, he realizes that this world is actually the setting of an "otome game."... more>>

An otome game world—what a surprise. And from his position in this world, no matter how you look at it, Randy is just a nameless mob character.

“Wen Zhijiao belongs to Jiang Yuancheng.”... more>>

This was an unspoken secret among the elite circles of City A. They had never seen her, but they knew Jiang Yuancheng had a beloved ‘canary,’ whom he cherished like it was the apple of his eye, that he even once broke a leg for her.

Later, Jiang Yuancheng fell into a coma. In the ward, the people involved in this circle finally managed to get a glimpse of Wen Zhijiao.

—Quiet and well-behaved. Beautiful and Timid.

• • • • •

Wen Zhijiao was originally a villainous supporting character in a Mary Sue novel. The moment Jiang Yuangcheng fell into a coma, she was supposed to reveal her true colors by insulting him, mistreating him, and bullying the female lead. In addition, she was to also provoke his brothers (the male leads), who would then retaliate against her in hatred and disgust and lead her to her miserable downfall.

She didn’t want to change the future, so she followed the script, recklessly stepping on landmines everywhere. However, one day, she suddenly received several anonymous emails:

“Jiao Jiao, you wouldn’t want him to wake up either, right? I can help you.”

Wen Zhijiao: “…?”

The book never mentioned that she actually had some cannon fodder followers.

She forwarded the emails to each other, trying to figure out who sent them. As a result, a fight broke out between the male leads the next day.

Wen Zhijiao: “…?”

Was it because she wasn’t that wicked enough? Or was it because she was still too timid?

Either way, all her efforts spent to act vicious only made the inherently wicked male leads feel pity and protective of her.

#It’s okay. Being s*upid is also very cute, and being bad for just one minute is already impressive.

• • • • •

Before Jiang Yuancheng fell into a coma, his brothers’ words were:

“You’re just playing with her. Don’t take it too seriously.”

“Breaking a leg for an engagement? She doesn’t deserve it.”

“Stop tormenting yourself. I can’t bear to watch it.”

After Jiang Yuancheng fell into a coma, his brothers’ words were:

“She’s just playing with you. Don’t take it too seriously.”

“Breaking a leg for an engagement? You don’t deserve it.”

“Why are you still alive? I can’t bear to watch.”

Jiang Yuancheng: “…”

Jiang Yuancheng: “6”

Xie Ting’an was informed by the system that the world he was in was composed of two novels.... more>>

The first novel is a “chasing wife in the crematorium” story, where the male lead is Xie Ting’an’s arch-nemesis, and the female lead is Xie Ting’an’s childhood neighbor sister.

The second novel is a “broken engagement harem” story, where the male lead is the only son of the arch-nemesis and the neighbor sister, and the female leads are so numerous that Xie Ting’an can’t count them all on both hands.

As for Xie Ting’an himself, he is the malicious villain throughout both books, spending the first half of his life interfering with the main couple’s happy marriage, and the second half continuing to fight with their son, ultimately ending up with a broken family and dying in a car accident.

Xie Ting’an: …Is there only one villain to squeeze dry?!

The current timeline is at the end of the first novel and shortly after the start of the second. Xie Ting’an looks at the newly adult son of his arch-nemesis, who is cold, upright, and arrogant, already showing the demeanor of a male lead.

However, the current plot point is where his parents are missing, he is unexpectedly blind, and has been rejected from an engagement. Xie Ting’an looks at the male lead clutching his suit pants and hoarsely calling “Uncle,” feeling that there might still be hope for him. So, he goes against the book’s content and takes him in, planning to use this time to train him into a male lead who is loyal to love and won’t do evil deeds.

×××

After nearly a year, the training results are remarkable. The male lead has been taught to be extremely obedient. On the night before the male lead’s parents return to take him away, Xie Ting’an even drank a lot to celebrate.

The next morning, Xie Ting’an wakes up to find himself in the same bed as the male lead, with a sore waist and legs, and shockingly heavy marks on his body.

The blind male lead sits innocently beside him, repeatedly asking.

“A-Ting, will you take responsibility for me?”

“A-Ting, you taught me to be loyal to love, when will we go public?”

After the heiress Mu Wan suddenly died from overworking, she thought it thorough and came to terms with her situation—let’s fully enjoy her second chance at life by indulging in food, drink, and leisure. To hell with work, scheming, and power struggles!... more>>

Then, because of her new carefree attitude, excessive indulgence, and idleness, her engagement was broken off.

Mu Wan: …

Then, out of the blue, an imperial edict came, arranging her marriage to the powerful but intimidating Marquis of Zhenbei—clearly intended as an insult to him.

Mu Wan: ???

Her reborn half-sister arrived, gloating: “So what if he’s tall, elegant, and handsome? Marquis Zhenbei is cold towards women, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. He killed the Empress Dowager and the puppet emperor to put his nephew’s on the throne, but he died on the battlefield later. Even if you don’t die, you’ll soon be widowed, my dear eldest sister.”

What Mu Wan heard amidst the unintelligent noises: Marquis of Zhenbei, put his nephew on the throne, and then died…

So, in a few years, she would inherit both an emperor nephew and all the Marquis’ wealth?

What a stroke of luck! She’s in!

***

Zhenbei Marquis Manor indeed needed a figurehead mistress, so Xie Heng made a strategical decision to marry the easily controlled daughter of a lowly merchant family. It was nothing more than a political move; he treated her as a convenient pet, like a house cat.

But to his surprise, this delicate little cat wasn’t one to be bullied. He couldn’t hit her, nor could he outsmart her in arguments.

Xie Heng began to suspect that she was out to annoy him to death.

One day, Mu Wan sighed: “The Chi Ling Tribe may be barbaric, but their gemstones are truly beautiful.”

Xie Heng, with a cold voice: “So you really wish for my death, don’t you?”

Mu Wan: ???

Later, Xie Heng led his troops to conquer the Chi Ling tribe and threw their royal family’s treasures at Mu Wan, sneering: “Sorry to disappoint you, but this Marquis will live a long life.”

Mu Wan: ???

That same day, Xie Heng lay in bed, flushed and gritting his teeth: “This Marquis will die at your hands sooner or later!”

Mu Wan: …

It was just a simple wound stitching. There’s no need to make it sound so suggestive—her medical skills are great, okay?

Everyone said Marquis Zhenbei Xie Heng was ruthless and cold, and the people he despised the most were those cowards who indulged in pleasures. Yet, when death loomed over him, his first thought was: If he died, who would bring home the tribute fruits for that house cat? Would she be bullied? Who would take good care of her?

He realized then that he must survive, so he could protect her, ensuring she would live a long life, filled with prosperity.
