The story of an emergency room doctor dying from overwork and crossing into another world.... more>>

...

The sails of the great voyage have been unfurled.

The steam engine has yet to roar to life.

The glory of the Radiant Lord illuminates the continent, while across the sea, the churches of the gods and mages support the monarchy.

Dwarves freely roam the cities of the kingdom, and the legends of werewolves, vampires, elves, and dragons never fade.

In such an era, Wu Zhou, an emergency department doctor who died from working overtime, transmigrates into the body of Garrett, a young city guard.

Teammate: Oh no! The Captain is seriously injured, his intestines are spilling out!

Garrett: Help me up; I can still stitch!

Teammate: ...What?

Garrett: ...Apply a healing spell to where I stitched, let it grow... no, first apply it to the stitched layer, then the muscle layer, and so on.

Teammate: ...What?

Garrett: Uh-oh, the healing spell is too fast, the stitches grew inside the wound!!!

When modern medicine meets magic and divine arts, what brilliant sparks will it ignite in this New world?

Garrett: Learning magic, mastering divine arts, expanding territories, and clashing with the church... whether you believe it or not, I just wanted to open a hospital. <<less

I wasn’t reborn with talent or ability, but at least my knowledge from earth allowed me to stay one step ahead in this other world.... more>>

Magic exists here, and new progress was rapidly being made in science while magic stagnated in the name of tradition. Using my earthly knowledge and not bound by the traditional thinking, I was able to do things other wizards couldn’t even imagine.

Still, inadvertently becoming an undercover professor for a mysterious secret society at the renowned Theon academy was never in my to-do list! <<less

##A Rough and Sultry Man, a Soft Beauty, Sweet Love, Mutual Flirting, Space, Warm Daily Life, 1970s... more>>

Lin Wanshu was the wife of the richest man in her previous life, envied by all. She was beautiful, wealthy, and her husband, though he had a mistress, seemed to have it all. But behind the glamorous façade, she was alone in an empty room every day, without even a child. Tragically, she was hit and killed by a car.

When she opened her eyes again, Lin Wanshu was back in the 1970s. This time, she had married a martyr who had died young in her previous life, and even had a baby! Just as she thought this man was about to die, she decided to take her child on the road to find his father…

He Manxiang was reborn. In her previous life, she had married the wrong educated youth and ended up with a miserable death. Lin Wanshu, ridiculed by everyone for marrying a scoundrel, had not only become the wife of the richest man but also lived a life everyone envied.

Determined to get ahead of Lin Wanshu, He Manxiang married Zhao Mingyuan. To be safe, she also persuaded Lin Wanshu’s father to marry her off to Qin Yan, who was about to die.

But just when she was dreaming of becoming the wife of the richest man, she heard that Qin Yan, who was supposed to die early, not only survived but made great contributions, rising through the ranks. Lin Wanshu had become a respected and beloved medical master? And the man who was supposed to be the richest man in her family was not only idle all day but also homosexual?

He Manxiang’s eyes turned red with hatred! Why did she struggle so hard in both lives? Why was Lin Wanshu so lucky? <<less

One moment, Yu Zhi was half-heartedly listening to his friend rant about the protagonist of a certain novel—a bloodthirsty lunatic psychopath. The next moment, the novel’s plot became reality.... more>>

The apocalypse arrived, bringing global pollution and mutations.

Some were polluted, growing mouths on the tops of their heads; others awakened, gaining superpowers.

Yu Zhi: What the heck?!

Bad news: He had never paid serious attention to his friend’s rants about the plot.

Good news: He awakened a superpower—a bizarre one called "JJ Literature City."

[Ability One: You Are Just a Random Bystander.]

[Note: You used to be an ordinary, insignificant extra in the novel. But from now on, you will...]

Yu Zhi took a deep breath, eagerly turned to the next page, and then froze as his smile vanished:

[...be without pee, poop, or fart.]

???

This counts as a superpower?

*

Soon, Yu Zhi had the misfortune of running into the protagonist, Fu Suxi, who was drenched in blood and looked like a vengeful ghost straight out of hell.

The good news: Yu Zhi had just acquired a second superpower.

The bad news: His new power seemed equally unreliable.

[Ability Two: Mouth, mouth.]

[Effect: Ten steps, one smooch. A thousand miles, no survivors.]

The moment Fu Suxi approached Yu Zhi, the killing intent in his heart inexplicably dissipated entirely.

He pressed his blade against Yu Zhi’s throat and asked with interest, “What did you do to me?”

Yu Zhi: “...”

If I said I “mouth” you, would you believe me?

Ye Er first saw that female zerg in an advertis**ent. He was cheap, and significantly damaged, with only a pair of golden eyes that remained beautiful.... more>>

Later, when he saw him again, it was in the female s*ave exchange live broadcast, where he was trampled, his spine crushed, shamelessly humiliated, his eyes silently enduring the pain and embarrassment. Yet, he shed not even a single teardrop.

Later on, Ye Er picked up that dying female zerg back home.

Nursing the female zerg back to health was like repairing an old, rusty machine. He was severely mutilated, had lost his bone wings, was blinded in one eye, and had his legs broken, unable to walk.

Broken and tattered, completely lacking in value, silent yet sharp.

Ye Er cared for him like a stray dog he had picked up, changing bandages, feeding, caressing his head to appease, turning on the lights at night to drive away spasms and nightmares… striving to be a qualified keeper.

However, after continuous nursing, the female zerg who unknowingly grew powerful and returned to the peak of power, surrounded him with his newly grown bone wings, gently and cautiously with matchless devotion.

Five years after the war ended, the empire and the military welcomed back their “sacrificed” general, leading to a strong reshuffle, resulting in the dismissal of numerous noble military officers.

On the surface, the scene was of foul wind and blood rain, with fear and trepidation.

While the media was subtly pointing fingers at the arrogant and cold-blooded tyrant, the tyrant was wearing a soft pink warm apron, skillfully baking matcha cookies with a gentle expression as he called Ye Er to wash his hands before eating.

No one could have imagined that during the day, the general, who was violent and unparalleled, skillfully tearing mechas apart on the military training ground—

Would obediently open up his heart completely with his own hands, trembling all over, his eyes red and moist from being bullied, hoarsely voicing his forbearing affection.

“Only you can do anything to me.” <<less

Xie Wan was a legend.... more>>

Born in a general's manor, she was skilled in both literary and martial arts from a young age. Despite being a woman, she only ever dreamed of one day going to the battlefield to protect her home and country.

But with a single imperial decree, she was summoned into the palace to marry the female Emperor and become an imperial consort.

Four years later, the female Emperor passed away.

When enemy forces invaded, Xie Wan donned armor and went into battle. When treacherous officials plotted rebellion, Xie Wan seized power and executed them.

Everyone thought Xie Wan would become the new Emperor, but until her death, she never sought the throne.

Regarding this, Xie Wan only wanted to say: Being an emperor is truly exhausting.

...

Who would have thought, after being reborn...

She became the female Emperor.

That's right, she was reborn as the female Emperor—that sickly female Emperor.

Xie Wan: This is terrible, I don't have many years left to live.

The female official in charge of the name tiles arrived late—

"Your Majesty, today is the day Consort Wan enters the palace. Would you like to go and see?"

Xie Wan's body stiffened in disbelief, "Who?"

"Your Majesty, it is Consort Wan. The legitimate eldest daughter of General Xie's family, Xie Wan," the female official said respectfully.

Xie Wan: ???

Reborn once, she became the female Emperor and married herself.

And it was her sixteen-year-old self, no less.

Sixteen-year-old Xie Wan, for the first time, understood the meaning of resentment.

She loved wielding swords and spears, loved leading troops into battle; even her dreams at night were of herself as a young general.

But with a single imperial decree, she had to put on a wedding dress and become an imperial consort.

She could see the end of her future days at a glance.

The female Emperor loves men, and the harem is filled with them. Not only could she not become a young general, but she also had to compete for favor with this group of men!

Damn that female Emperor!

"Ahem... Consort Wan, you look like you want to eat me," Xie Wan coughed twice.

"Perhaps it's because Your Majesty looks delicious," sixteen-year-old Xie Wan narrowed her eyes. She discovered that the female Emperor seemed even more frail than she had imagined.

"Your Majesty, it's time to retire," sixteen-year-old Xie Wan said astonishingly, even pressing closer step by step.

This posture of hers... she doesn't want to retire to bed, she wants to beat me up!

Xie Wan retreated two steps, "I... just came to see you... I like men, you know..."

Sixteen-year-old Xie Wan, without another word, dragged her away to give her a beating first!

...

Later, the two of them often fought and sparred.

Until... real fights turned into fake fights.

"Your Majesty, didn't you say... you liked men?" The adult Young General Xie Wan lay limp on the bed.

The female Emperor Xie Wan propped her chin on one hand, wiping the sweat from her forehead, "I don't know where things went wrong either." <<less

He didn’t know how others fared after transmigrating, but ever since his coming-of-age day, Dong Jin had been dreaming of the same god who was on the verge of destroying everything.... more>>

After the thousandth time thwarting that god’s plans in his dreams, Dong Jin unexpectedly had a peaceful sleep the next night, without dreaming of that god. Back then, he thought that his universe-saving dream had finally come to an end.

However, a month later, the "Divine Selection" was about to begin.

Dong Jin gazed at the god who had descended together with the celestial gods and demons into the interstellar era, a figure so familiar it was maddeningly recognizable.

Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t just the dream that had ended—his life might be next.

Dong Jin: "...Is it still too late to ask for a painless way to die?"

But as his words fell, the only response he received was the god's hoarse chuckle and a sinister, manic gleam in those eyes.

Barely surviving under that god’s hand, Dong Jin officially embarked on his path of endless Divine Selections.

In the "Gods' Descent" instance, he disguised himself as an alien and presented the city with the grandest fireworks display.

In the "Mirage" instance, he took the lead in a play that exposed a colossal lie.

In "The Most Precious Gift," as a human, he transformed into a god...

As he continuously secured MVP in seven consecutive instances, at the end of the "Divine Selection," Dong Jin stood at the pinnacle of the high tower, locking eyes with the god who had once sought his life.

This time, however, the ending was entirely different.

—“Every midnight, I used to think about how to skin you alive, extract your bones, and torture you piece by piece.”

—“But when that day finally came, I realized that in both dreams and reality, I had already been utterly defeated.”

—“I want you.”

—“It’s a desire darker than midnight, a longing more burning than daylight.”

Lin Yu couldn't understand why he had transmigrated to this place.... more>>

When others transmigrate, they either go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies.

Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power.

Su He awakens to find herself reborn into a 1970s-era novel as a fake heiress who’s been sent back to her hometown. In the story, the real heiress—the ungrateful “white-eyed wolf”—lives a charmed, scheming life while the Su family spirals into ruin and the original heroine suffers beyond endurance.... more>>

But Su He remains calm, for wherever people gather, that’s her stage! With a few clever ploys, the eight hundred scheming family members begin competing with each other and clinging to her, crying as they vie to ride her coattails.

She trades resources, reads people flawlessly, counsels and advises one after another—earning eighty‑eight wages until her hands cramp. She builds up her hometown and lifts up her country; after all, "Good People of An County, That’s Me!"

Does the real heiress still want to play her scheming games? Sorry, but An County is packed with relatives—and they’re like living CCTV, watching every move in 360 degrees!

Mini‐Scene 1:

On the train from An County to “Magic City” (i.e. Shanghai), Su He is chatting warmly with foreign guests. Principal Chen is worried.

Old Gu asks, “Are you afraid little Su will be deceived by these foreigners?”

Principal Chen shakes his head. “No—I’m afraid those foreigners will be deceived by her!”

Mini‐Scene 2:

Someone questions whether Su He even has a real job. Su He opens her shoulder bag and starts pulling out credentials:

Liaison Officer of the Huaihua Commune

Special Correspondent certificate

Instructor at An County Evening School…

The questioner is left speechless: “…Are you just a certificate collector?!” <<less

On the day of her wedding, which she has relived countless times, Vinea, with a voice filled with disgust, addressed her husband, the Emperor Tatar.... more>>

“You did well to stab a knife into your own heart. Everyone present must have realized that His Majesty had gone mad.”

Tatar responded with a leisurely laugh.

“Was it as impressive as the bride who broke her neck jumping off a moving carriage? Was that our twenty-fourth honeymoon? The sight of the empress jumping with a confident smile and hands behind her back was indeed valiant.”

Surviving an insane reincarnation cycle, they managed to keep a semblance of sanity by anchoring themselves to each other. How many deaths would it take to end this loop? As Vinea desperately sought a way to die as a human, Tatar’s gravelly voice whispered in her ear.

“If we stay in this hell, will the empress remain my salvation forever?”

She had to find a way to end the reincarnation as soon as possible, before the man standing before her completely lost his mind. <<less

Poor theater actor Lee Soo-hyun.... more>>

He fainted after being hit by a falling light, and when he opened his eyes, he possessed a character in “The Blue Knight of the Holy Sword”, a novel that was discontinued due to unpopularity.

What's more, he transmigrated into the body of Arendt von Eckhart, who betrayed the Knights Templar and was destined to be executed soon.

The only thing left for the character who has completed his or her role on stage is to exit. In other words, there is only death... Character interpretation can vary depending on the actor playing it.

“Please take care of me, you traitorous bastard.”

In order to survive, he must create a role other than that of Arendt, the 'traitor', even if it means twisting the story.

Now, the life-threatening method acting begins! <<less

Lee Su-hyeon is judged to be a Dual Awakened, even rarer than S-class Awakened, possessing both Esper and Guide abilities. However, due to his low rank, he's quickly overlooked by the public. Living quietly like a background extra, one day an unimaginable, dream-like opportunity comes his way. His guiding compatibility rate with Song Ji-hyeok, a newly recruited S-class Esper at the guild, turns out to be over 80 percent.... more>>

But life isn't so simple. Song Ji-hyeok openly ignores Su-hyeon due to his low rank...

"Let me say this again, I have absolutely no intention of pairing up with you. So stop wasting your energy like this."

His expression was emotionless and calm. If he had sneered or acted arrogant, it might have sparked some defiance, but his matter-of-fact delivery made the impact even greater.

After maintaining silence for a moment, Su-hyeon barely moved his lips.

"But you heard what Manager Park said. The higher the matching rate, the more efficient the guiding..."

"I said I don't want to."

The sharp interjection made Su-hyeon's mouth shut automatically. Song Ji-hyeok let out a sigh and stared directly into his eyes again.

"You look like you don't understand, so I'll be frank. To me, a guide partner's rank is far more important than matching rate. Honestly, how dare a C-rank try to match with an S-rank? Have some self-awareness."

"......"

"I'll fulfill the period the manager mentioned, but that's it. Persuasion won't work, so you should give up."

It was perfect defense. He had somewhat expected this, but if the rejection was truly because of rank, there was nothing he could do about it.

'...Nothing. There's nothing.'

But still! He couldn't just quietly let go of this opportunity that had come his way. Throwing away unnecessary discouragements, he looked at Song Ji-hyeok with eyes full of determination.

"Since I'm your junior by both experience and age, I'll speak casually. While I can't change my innate rank, I'll do my absolute best. I'll make sure you won't be satisfied with anyone's guiding but mine, so be prepared."

Despite the bold declaration of war, the guy wasn't intimidated. Instead, he just sneered as if Su-hyeon wasn't even worth dealing with. <<less

Jiang Ting traveled through various variety shows and reached the top to win the championship.

Driven by circumstances and with no other choice, Qiu Cheng could only find himself a sponsor.... more>>

He was clever from a young age, resilient, and extremely perceptive.

In the end, he found a man that others wouldn’t even dare to consider.

Ever since Qiu Cheng met Mu Xingtian, his debts were paid off, he had the money to treat his relatives’ illnesses, and the troublesome harassers around him disappeared.

He even started filming dramas and participating in variety shows, gaining access to various resources, and those resources only got better and better.

Onlookers secretly gritted their teeth, feeling that Qiu Cheng definitely wouldn’t have it good for long; once that man got tired of him, he would be cast back to his original state.

Little did they know, what Qiu Cheng and that man were playing at was genuine sincerity.

Cheng Wanyun died suddenly. After traveling to the past, she barely enjoyed any good days before being labeled as a low-ranking concubine in the Yuqing Palace.... more>>

Cheng Wanyun: "..."

Everyone knows that the life of Yinreng ends in misery. But now, Yinreng is still a young man, only fifteen years old—handsome, bright, gentle, and proud of himself.

Cheng Wanyun calculated and found that there were at least twenty more years before Yinreng would be imprisoned and die.

So... she decided to lie down for now. If it’s a waste, then so be it. Anyway, she wasn’t going to move.

Let them imprison him, what’s the difference where she lies down?

Others were busy vying for favor, dancing in the garden in winter wearing thin silk. Cheng Wanyun was curled up by the stove, watching the snow while nibbling on delicious roast duck.

Others were busy scheming for power, secretly sowing discord to incite punishment in the palace. Cheng Wanyun was raising her child, taking care of cats and dogs.

Others were busy forming factions, with the First Consort and Second Consort standing in opposition. Cheng Wanyun was sipping on milk tea, playing cards: "Boom!"

She had unknowingly reached the forty-seventh year of Kangxi's reign and finally wondered: Why hadn’t she been discarded yet?

After Yinreng accepted Cheng Gege (Low-ranking concubine) as his concubine, he slept with her, occasionally having strange dreams, all of which came true. Over time, he remembered more and more. It turned out those were his past life memories—conflict with his father, infighting with his brothers, the early death of a younger brother, his eventual downfall, and his death in isolation.

Despite his fragmented memories, he cautiously navigated every step, walking on thin ice. Meanwhile, Cheng Gege... slept soundly without a care.

Yinreng: So angry.

But he still gently lowered his head and tucked the blanket around her.

Perhaps the divine heavens knew his path would be full of hardship, so they blessed him with a small lucky star. He was bloodied, wielding a sword through the battlefield, while she was his peaceful haven, his paradise. <<less
