Lin Ganzhi, a down-and-out actor, transmigrated into the body of the useless dramatic wife of a villain destined to be hated.... more>>

As an insignificant C-list celebrity in the entertainment industry, the original host, due to his complete lack of self-awareness, relentlessly pursued the protagonist shou's fiancé, earning the scorn of the entire internet. Eventually, he was tricked by one of the protagonist group's admirers into marrying Yan Shengping, a man equally notorious and universally despised.

When Lin Ganzhi transmigrated, the hated villain had already been squeezed dry of his last bit of use and abandoned in a small villa in the suburbs, unloved and unwanted, suffering from a severe stomach ailment.

Lin Ganzhi: Can I tolerate this injustice?

Yan Shengping's butler sighed: "Yes, having only one million yuan a month for spending money is indeed a grievance. If you can't stand it, I'll persuade Mr. Yan to divorce you."

Lin Ganzhi: "...How much?"

Butler: "One..."

Lin Ganzhi clutched his chest, his eyes reddening, the professional actor instantly putting on a show: "You want me to leave my beloved husband?"

Yan Shengping, who was just about to come in and discuss the divorce: ?

Lin Ganzhi's inner thoughts: No more pretending, I'm just going to slack off. One million yuan a month for spending money, I'm going to take care of this man for the rest of my life! Anyway, he's useless!

Yan Shengping wholeheartedly wanted Lin Ganzhi to hate him and take the initiative to leave.

However,

Lin Ganzhi personally made lunch.

Yan Shengping frowned: "What the hell is this? Take it away!"

Lin Ganzhi: "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot you don't like green onions. I'll pick them out for you right now!"

Yan Shengping's stomach acted up: "Go away, I'm not taking medicine!"

Lin Ganzhi: "Be good, I made a cake. You can eat something sweet after taking your medicine."

Lin Ganzhi went away to film a variety show. Yan Shengping snorted coldly: "You better not come back!"

Lin Ganzhi's back stiffened, he turned around with tears in his eyes.

Yan Shengping's heart ached. Damn it, he went too far.

Lin Ganzhi's inner OS: Damn it, the boss is unhappy, I'm going to reject that crappy variety show!!!

To restore the boss's image, Lin Ganzhi, with his C-list celebrity status, worked hard. In the survival variety show, he directly became a survival bandit.

At first, netizens angrily commented: Can the useless couple just go away?

Later: Help me, I can still ship the useless couple for a hundred years!!

Later, the truth was revealed. Lin Ganzhi only then knew that the book he transmigrated into had two parts, and Yan Shengping was the final protagonist. Lin Ganzhi patted his chest in relief. Thankfully, he chose to side with Yan Shengping for money, no, for justice! Otherwise, he would be the one dead.

And after all his efforts, when Yan Shengping's health finally recovered, Yan Shengping's white moonlight returned to China. Lin Ganzhi, who had saved enough money to live on for the rest of his life, rubbed his hands and wrote a divorce agreement, even leaving a note wishing Yan Shengping and his white moonlight a happy life together. But he couldn't get out of Yan Shengping's room that night.

Afterwards, Yan Shengping gently rubbed the back of Lin Ganzhi's neck: Are you still wishing me well, Ganzhi?

Lin Ganzhi was too tired to lift his hands, tears still in his eyes: I, I wish you the best!

Ellouise, a woman quietly raising her niece on her own, encounters an unexpected stranger while on vacation.... more>>

He’s infamous for falling in love faster than anyone else—

and now this unpredictable man proposes a contract marriage. His goal? To seduce a duchess who only entertains married men. And Ellouise, apparently, is the perfect decoy.

“I’ve always believed a proper proposal must come with a ring.”

Marcus blocked her path and pulled out a small box from beneath the table—a luxurious ebony case wrapped in black velvet. Inside was:

“A 122-carat royal diamond.”

The words that rose to her throat were, “Are you trying to buy me? Is this supposed to be some kind of insult?”

But…

“…it was far too much money to scold him for.”

No—it was far too much diamond.

Had one of her students come to her saying, “Miss, some man offered me money to marry him,” she would have advised them to run the other way without hesitation.

But this wasn’t a classroom.

This was real life.

On countless sleepless nights, tossing and turning as if gnawed at by insects, I’ve had to admit one thing, I seem to have fallen in love with Shen Jianqing, that aloof and handsome Miao youth.... more>>

—

The bad luck began with that road trip.

Among the bustling crowd in the Miao village, I glimpsed a corner of a dark blue robe flash by; that was my first sight of Shen Jianqing. The cold, aloof youth was like a venomous snake coiled in a corner, his greedy gaze sending a chill down my spine.

At that time, I still didn’t know I would never leave this Miao territory again.

In this life, I have seen Shen Jianqing’s Gu container three times.

The first time, I stood beneath the window of the stilted house, pointing at the container with a smile: “Shen Jianqing, is this your Gu inside?”

The Miao youth stood in the damp shadows, the silver ornaments on his body gleaming with a cold, eerie light.

“Li Yuze,” he said, “I don’t cast Gu.”

—

The second time, I was trapped in the youth’s slender yet powerful embrace, my peripheral vision fixed on that pitch-black Gu container.

I asked, “Shen Jianqing, do you cast Gu now?”

The youth’s voice was close to my ear, it was damp and sticky’ “Li Yuze, I don’t cast Gu.”

The third time, that was a very, very long time later. My hands trembling, I very slowly opened that Gu container… <<less

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.”

Attention!! Actually, Book 1 of Floating Life has 3 extra volumes, namely:... more>>

1. Extra: Prequel-Tree Yaokai,

2. Extra: Water Festival, and

3. Extra: Wangchuan.

This special edition consists of 70 chapters + a 1-chapter appendix, for a total of 71 chapters.

Shen Liuxiang stayed up all night reading a novel about a white lotus protagonist shou and his easy road to power. Having finished it, he thumped his chest and stomped his foot in unhappiness. ... more>>

In the novel, there was a villainous shizun who shared his name.

He was as beautiful as a flower, but would rather ruin his own looks to imitate others.

He was infatuated with the Bingshan Sword Venerable, who had his heart set on the protagonist shou. Foolish and shameless, he continued to entangle with and chase after the other.

He severed his connection to his father, the Venerable Emperor, and renounced his ties to his senior brother in the Sect. He fought to the death with his blood brother, the Demon Venerable.

For the Sword Venerable, he was even willing to get rid of his toughest rival-in-love—his own disciple, who would later become number one in the cultivation world!

After going to sleep, Shen Liuxiang woke up to find himself transmigrated as the villain Shizun in the book.

"Strive to look like the protagonist shou? Wake up, this immortal is the most beautiful in the world!"

"Sword Venerable, who? Is he stronger than my father, the Venerable Emperor?! Is he more handsome than my senior brother in the Sect?! Is he fiercer than my blood brother, Demon Venerable?!”

Facing the protagonist's greatest backer in the future, Zhou Xuanlan, Shen Liuxiang decided to grab onto the opportunity, seize his good fortune, and stifle the danger in the cradle.

However, his disciple was too well-behaved.

"All spiritual treasures in heaven and on earth belong to Shizun. All ancient relics belong to Shizun. This disciple also belongs to Shizun."

Shen Liuxiang: "...Alright, I’ll give you a chance QAQ"

Initially an indifferent shizun, Shen Liuxiang slowly became fiercely protective of his disciple. His disciple, in turn, was upright, righteous, and increasingly loyal towards him. However, right at this time, Shen Liuxiang miscalculated. The Zhou Xuanlan from the original novel had returned!

"Shizun has changed so much," the man spoke with a dangerous air, hugging him from behind, the low voice resounding right beside his ear, “but I like it very much."

Shen Liuxiang cried. He wanted his obedient disciple back! <<less
