Due to health reasons, Shi Qi's family hopes he will fall in love with a highly compatible Alpha and ideally get married as soon as possible. However, Shi Qi turns a deaf ear to their wishes, finding all Alphas utterly boring.... more>>

That is, until recently, when he meets an intriguing Alpha who starts to change his mind. This Alpha’s pheromones smell particularly pleasant, he is good-looking, and, thanks to a certain part-time job, especially skilled at coaxing people.

Shang Sui encounters an Omega he once met in childhood. Back then, Shi Qi had leaned against his windowsill and declared that he would marry him when he grew up, only to vanish without a trace and completely forget about him.

Now reunited, Shi Qi mistakes Shang Sui for a chat companion who uses pheromones to please clients. Strangely enough, Shang Sui goes along with it, unwittingly pulling off a full performance.

Apparently satisfied with his “service,” Shi Qi gets closer to him and even asks if he would be willing to pretend to be his boyfriend.

"All right, but don’t forget this time." Facing Shi Qi’s slightly puzzled gaze, Shang Sui says with a smile.

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.”

What's it like to transmigrate as a Fairy Cub in the Elven Kingdom?... more>>

Tiny, no bigger than a thumb, with a pair of translucent wings on his back, Shu Li drank dew, ate flower nectar, slept in a flower bed, and spent his days playing carefree and blissful. It was pure happiness!

Happiness, my ass. @_@

Unable to learn Elven, he couldn't even speak. Shu Li had become a veritable mute Little Fairy.

As a former high school senior, Shu Li declared that learning a foreign language was way too hard!

Why hadn't the Transmigration God granted him a language cheat?

Why did he have to start all over like a baby?

Elven was the most difficult language in the world!

While other Fairy Cubs were already singing, Shu Li was still babbling.

While other Fairy Cubs were reciting poetry, Shu Li was still learning everyday conversation.

While other Fairy Cubs were chanting magic spells, Shu Li was still learning to sing.

Shu Li's pride suffered a crushing blow.

With two large tears clinging to his cheeks, he fluttered into the Elven King's arms, asking pitifully, "King, am I really that s*upid?"

The Elven King, whose beauty surpassed even the purest moonlight, gently wiped away his tears and said softly, "Sperien is the bravest and most clever little fairy in the Faerie Forest."

Praised by the King, Shu Li regained a sliver of confidence.

So what if he learned languages slowly?

If he couldn't pronounce spells, he would meditate!

Chanting spells would only affect the speed of casting magic, anyway!

---

Years later, Shu Li became the only fairy on the continent capable of casting instant magic.

After becoming an adult, Shu Li accidentally discovered the Elven King's secret.

The Elven King, revered by the world as the Son of Light, was actually practicing terrifying dark magic!

Moreover, his appearance and demeanor had transformed into something sinister and evil, like a Dark Elf.

When those bloodthirsty crimson eyes turned toward him, Shu Li shamefully begged for mercy. "P-please... please don't eat me... sob..."

The dark Elven King curled a strand of Shu Li's hair around his finger. "Become my bride, and I won't eat you."

After a long moment of agonizing hesitation, Shu Li nodded tremulously. "Okay!"

Later, Shu Li lay helplessly on the bed, two large tears welling in his eyes, sobbing quietly.

Waaah, you promised you wouldn't eat me!

Even Lee Joo-hwan, my father’s son and the president of the company, asked me.... more>>

"Do do you really have to kill off that character? Isn't the team strongly against it?"

"Sayla is—"

"—the most elegant and alluring when she dies. I’ve heard that so many times, I think my ears are going to bleed."

I made every effort to kill Sayla, believing it was the right decision as a developer and character designer, and the results were indeed excellent. The game we developed,'That Summer, There was Them(TST)', caused a global sensation as soon as it was launched. Sayla Devernon, a character I painstakingly designed, was named "The Most Captivating Villain" by the game industry's equivalent of TIME magazine, ‘Gomonji’.

"You were right. Sayla overwhelmingly took first place in the popularity polls. We're already getting tons of requests for Sayla merchandise."

Experts pointed to Sayla as the biggest factor in TST's success. But I still couldn't be satisfied. In my view, TST was still incomplete.

"There’s still a route where Sayla survives!"

I had to eliminate it, to make TST more perfect. I played countless times, trying to kill Sayla. Just now, I managed to kill her again.

"Great. I killed her again!"

As I was about to put down my phone, I heard a voice.

{“I didn’t want to die.”}

Startled, I looked around, and there she was, Sayla, staring at me from the screen.

{“Now you experience it. Save my life.”}

I had transmigrated into the body of the world’s most captivating villain, Sayla Devernon, the very character I had struggled so hard to kill. <<less

Sweet words from the author before you dive in:

1. The story is written entirely in first person, but the “I” will switch between characters as the plot demands (the author is on the verge of a split personality).

2. When the protagonist gets knocked around, please cut him some slack. He’s just a regular guy and can’t always pick the perfect option. His late-game self will look very different from his early-game self.

3. Early chapters revolve around campus life and character drama. Fights are scarce; this isn’t a grind-for-XP adventure. Think of it as a Japanese school gal-game wearing a Western-fantasy skin.

4. The manuscript has already passed the one-million-word mark. Doesn’t that prove the author is now a properly trained digital author? <<less

Xie Yi became emperor before he was even a month old;

At twelve, he allied with the court’s civil officials and his royal uncle to force the regent empress dowager to relinquish power, securing his own reign smoothly;

Wu Heng, the most powerful shaman doctor of ancient times, woke up to find himself transmigrated into a novel, becoming the grandson of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Remembering how his steward father, obsessed with gossip in the wealthy circles, was callously discarded by a domineering CEO and died impoverished, Wu Heng decided to start a live stream to earn a fortune for his dear old dad!... more>>

A new live stream channel called "Chengde Medical Clinic" appeared on the Shark platform. Although the streamer claimed to have centuries of medical experience and loved to brag, his exceptional good looks attracted a number of fans obsessed with his appearance.

Until——

① A wealthy madam, who had sought medical treatment everywhere to no avail, came to the live stream with her pot-bellied son.

Wu Heng diagnosed remotely: "Pregnant. Pregnant with lots of snake babies."

In a blink of an eye, Wu Heng performed a shamanic dance, and the young man immediately retched, vomiting countless live little snakes.

Wealthy Madam & Netizens: What the f*ck??!!

② A 20-year-old campus heartthrob, a landlubber his whole life, suddenly sprouted fish scales all over his body overnight, mastering butterfly, backstroke, and breaststroke without any training, determined to dominate the Olympics and win glory for the country.

Wu Heng connected online for a diagnosis: "If you let this condition develop further, you'll turn into a mermaid."

The campus heartthrob was thrilled that he was about to become a mermaid prince from a fairytale, with fans all over the world.

Wu Heng curiously asked: "A mermaid with a fish head and a human body is acceptable too?"

The campus heartthrob froze: Wait, what kind of head??

③ A genius of Chinese painting, blind for many years, held onto the last sliver of hope and asked: "Is there any chance for me to regain my sight?"

Wu Heng shook his head frankly: "Your eyes are completely dead."

The genius painter despaired, but the next moment Wu Heng directly seized the malicious ghost that caused his blindness and performed a live organ transplant.

The painting genius, not only regaining his sight but also gaining yin-yang eyes: "...!"

Netizens: ...God, a divine doctor!

Later, patients who frequently lost their heads would sneak in at night, carrying seven or eight heads, begging Wu Heng to pick the prettiest one and sew it back on.

A female teacher, dead for three years, dragged her already decayed and stinking body, inquiring about Wu Heng's method of lighting a sky lantern to extend her life.

Countless patients suffering from strange illnesses came from all directions, making the live stream incredibly popular.

****

In recent years, China has been experiencing a spiritual invasion, with a proliferation of demons and ghosts, and countless people inexplicably suffering from all sorts of bizarre illnesses.

Just when everyone was at their wit's end, Wu Heng, who could cure diseases, tell fortunes, draw talismans, catch ghosts, and even perform shamanic dances, entered their field of vision.

The number of viewers in the live stream continued to grow, with netizens constantly switching between "Holy crap, a shaman doctor who communicates with the heavens and the underworld is just awesome" and "Wife is so cool and strong, let me kiss you to death," and they even spontaneously formed a Wu Heng Protection Alliance.

Until one day, netizens saw Wu Heng nestled in the arms of a cold young man full of evil aura, his face flushed with drunkenness.

The young man's icy lips lightly nibbled on the white flesh of his nape, asking when Wu Heng would finally stop seeing patients and accompany him. As the young man's expression grew increasingly gloomy, the surrounding resentment soared to the heavens.

Wu Heng gritted his teeth: "Stop emitting resentment and creating new patients for me!"

Wu Heng imitated the method the young man had diligently taught him last night, planting a kiss on the young man's lips.

In an instant, the yin energy around the young man disappeared completely, and his smiling lips let out a satisfied sigh. <<less

"The number An Ye’s assistant gave us is unreachable!! Give me An Ye’s phone! An Ye, I’ll have the on-site assistant hand you your phone — just pick anyone!"

An Ye, mind blank, maintained a calm smile and lightly nodded while pressing her mic return.

It was a live broadcast. She didn’t have time to think. She randomly dialed the first number in her chat history:

The head of her legal team — Chi Tuo.

The call connected.

Before An Ye could say anything, a hoarse, hungover male voice came from the other end:

“An Jiujiu, did you use a permanent marker to draw that turtle on my face last night?!”

An Ye: …………

Host: …………

After the show ended, An Ye’s WeChat exploded — all from Chi Tuo, the head of her legal team.

Chi Tuo: Weibo’s top trending topic is “An Ye secretly married.”

An Ye: Sue them for defamation.

Chi Tuo: The most viral rumor from the marketing accounts is: “An Ye and a certain film emperor have been in a long-term relationship and already have a child.”

An Ye: ? Which film emperor?

Chi Tuo: ???

An Ye: …Sue them for defamation.

Zhao Mian, the Prince of Nanjing, had an encounter with a stranger while he was on a secret incognito visit. Both of them were simultaneously poisoned, and the poison would be released every month on the night of the full moon. ... more>>

They had to engage in a deep conversation in order to survive.

The Crown Prince, who was powerful, handsome, and splendid, stared at the unremarkable face of the stranger, and through gritted teeth, he declared, "I can be killed by my elders, but I will not be humiliated."

The stranger was perplexed and asked, "I have no issue with you being proud, but why are you pointing a sword at me?"

Zhao Mian sneered and replied, "I would rather kill you than suffer humiliation."

The stranger tried to calm the situation and suggested, "Let's not get agitated. We can talk after I remove my disguise."

When the stranger took off their disguise, they were no longer a mere passerby, which alleviated Zhao Mian's anger to some extent. Despite their reluctance, both of them cursed and engaged in a profound conversation before the release of the poison.

Later, when Zhao Mian ascended the throne, a neighboring country sent Ambassador Wei Zhenfeng to congratulate him.

In the grand hall, Wei Zhenfeng's eyes sparkled under the clear moonlight as he greeted, "Your Majesty, I hope you are in good health."

Zhao Mian absentmindedly touched his slightly swollen belly and fell into deep contemplation.

During the full moon feast for the eldest prince, Wei Zhenfeng arrived uninvited, seething with anger, yet still maintaining a smile.

He exclaimed, "I returned home for a brief period, and Your Majesty already has a child? Your betrayal truly caught me off guard."

Zhao Mian responded disdainfully, "Everyone in this world belongs to me. How can I be confined to one person? Someone, remove this ungrateful man from Beiyuan."

As the two were locked in a standoff, an elderly eunuch suddenly revealed the truth. He spoke, "Oh, Your Majesty, you are weak after giving birth, so please don't be angered!" <<less

Qu Dubian, a former celebrity who rose to fame through calculated "green tea" acting and fan voting in his past life, transmigrates into the body of a young prince in the Great Zhou Dynasty whose mother died early.... more>>

Not only does he have just 3 days left to live, but he's also bound to a [Disease Simulator] to extend his life.

There are three ways to increase lifespan:

1. Daily martial arts practice check-in, adding one day of life.

2. Experience diseases, write papers for the system, help the system archive and upgrade, adding three months of life.

3. Make friends, increase their favorability to 60, adding one year of life.

Qu Dubian understands one thing deeply: to gain favorability, helping in times of need is better than adding flowers to a brocade.

A small eunuch about to freeze to death? Save him!

The cheap emperor father, the neglected young master of the Minister's family, the bored imperial concubines in the harem, the only son of a marquis family, hostages from enemy countries...

Qu Dubian transforms into a filial(?) son/best friend/chat companion/playmate/soulmate, and the slowly increasing lifespan value makes him incredibly gratified.

The [Disease Simulator] is also a divine tool for avoiding the terrifying waves of succession struggles!

To exit the imperial power struggle, Qu Dubian stages a battlefield "accident," rescues his exiled elder sister (a royal princess) who was married, and fakes total disability—blindness and crippled martial prowess.

From now on, he can comfortably rest on these military achievements that can protect him for a lifetime, living peacefully.

This move is super profitable!

However—

The Eastern Depot's Chief gives a sinister look: "This one's life was saved by the young prince. Investigate for me, who exactly made a move on the battlefield!"

The newly crowned top scholar looks sickly: "I've schemed all my life, only for a wise ruler. If the wise ruler is in darkness, I'm unwilling to take office."

The young marquis, now the Northern Garrison General: "Imperial power has crushed to this extent, why does Your Highness still harbor kind thoughts?"

The adoptive mother who never cared about worldly affairs: "My son has suffered such a calamity, if this palace still turns a blind eye, how can I be called a mother?!"

The imperial concubines gather in Cining Palace, their resentful red-rimmed eyes leaving the emperor speechless.

In an instant, the princes are all on edge, schemes are churning in the capital, and people's hearts are in turmoil.

Qu Dubian, who only wants to live peacefully: "..."

Help, save me!!

#They all want me to ascend the throne, but I just want to live peacefully#

"Wild geese fly in cold beyond the pass, the winding melody crosses the border*.”

*pun for Qu Dubian (literal meaning

曲 (Qǔ) – Melody, tune

渡 (Dù) – To cross, to pass over
