Xu Yanqing, who tragically died young after staying up all night reading passionate comments and then angrily completing five test papers, just wanted to be a salted fish in this life.... more>>

Unfortunately, on the very day he transmigrated into a book, he was drugged. By a twist of fate, Xu Yanqing ended up sleeping with a beautiful Taoist priest. The Taoist priest's face was genuinely stunning, and his immortal aura made people want to bow in reverence.

The next day after sleeping with the Taoist priest, Xu Yanqing patted his bu*t and ran away, figuring he was free to live his life without anyone bothering him. Things were going great, but there was one tricky problem: why was his belly getting bigger day by day...?

*

All the civil and military officials in the court knew their Majesty was a Taoist priest with a pure heart and few desires. But then, at some point, a delicate yet lazy young man appeared by His Majesty's side. And then, without anyone realizing it, His Majesty started bringing a baby to court!

Shocked.jpg , the ministers were troubled.

His Majesty was also troubled, and so was the little prince.

"Father Emperor, when can Daddy play with me?"

"He can play with you once he wakes up."

"But when will Daddy wake up?!"

The little prince sighed and so did His Majesty. The father and son looked at the person soundly asleep on the bed, their eyes filled with resentment.

Xu Yanqing: Waking up is impossible, and taking care of the child is also impossible, unless... everyone sleeps together! <<less

Bad news: Xu Yanmiao traveled back to ancient times, but he himself is lazy and uninterested in anything but internet cybersecurity, which is useless in ancient times.... more>>

Good news: He's bound to a system.

Bad news: The system is called the Gossip System, not the fortune-telling kind, but the kind that contains other people's private information and scandals. Utterly useless.

More bad news: This system is also glitchy, and the extent of the bugs is unknown.

Even more bad news: This body is that of a minor official who can attend court meetings, while Xu, the time traveler... doesn't understand the classics, can't write with a brush, and is at risk of being exposed for cheating in the imperial exams.

Xu Yanmiao: "..."

Forget it, just lie low, wait to die, maybe dying quickly could lead to another time travel.

...

In the court, the emperor was furious about state affairs, and the courtiers trembled in fear.

Xu Yanmiao pretended to listen attentively but was actually focused on browsing the Gossip System.

[Wow, the emperor just took in a 16-year-old noblewoman yesterday! A beautiful addition! He's getting stronger with age! And he was tossing and turning in bed all night but still has such a powerful voice now! Amazing!]

[This noblewoman used to be the crown prince's concubine! And the crown prince even knows how to write passionate love letters!]

[Wow wow wow! The crown prince sneaked into the grandpa's harem... hiss—got intimate while the old emperor was attending court! Do it quickly! Why isn't there any video...]

[Huh? Why is there no sound?]

Xu Yanmiao cautiously raised his head and glanced around.

[What happened? Why is everyone kneeling? Where's the emperor?]

—The emperor went to catch adultery in the harem.

*

The "imperial exam cheating" bomb finally exploded.

Xu Yanmiao couldn't explain why his handwriting on the exam paper didn't match his usual handwriting, nor could he answer why he didn't understand the classics.

The evidence prepared by the ousted crown prince of the emperor hit the nail on the head, and his personal bodyguard was ready to drag Xu Yanmiao away to the prison, awaiting execution in the autumn.

Xu Yanmiao held onto the gossip that proved his innocence but was in a quandary:

How do I explain the source of my information...

[Say that I secretly met with the Chief Examiner, the Minister of Rites, three nights before the exam? Impossible, that night, the Minister of Rites was dressed as a woman, spent the night at the General's Mansion, with the general...]

The general's body shook, and he interjected: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"Although the evidence of exam cheating is solid, I believe there's still something fishy about this. It should be re-investigated! Especially Xu... Xu... Xu Yanmiao's attire is neat and tidy! Someone who cares so much about their appearance, how could they tarnish their reputation!"

The crown prince, who couldn't hear his thoughts: ??

[Also, what's with saying that the examiner faking yawning and tiredness was intentionally leaving me a gap for cheating? He spent the night before the exam in the pigsty without sleeping, how could he not be tired the next day? But, surprisingly, the Imperial Academy lecturer actually believed in pig's milk...]

The Imperial Academy lecturer's face went pale, and he burst out: "Your Majesty!!!!"

"I... I agree with the General's words! How could Xu Lang cheat in the exam! He... he... he deliberately drank a glass of pure water before the exam, believing that only good-hearted people can use pure things, such a kind-hearted person, how could he cheat in the exam!"

Thinking he had everything under control, the crown prince: ??

Xu Yanmiao was deeply moved.

[They're all good people, even if their brains don't work well, they're trying their best to find reasons and excuses for me.]

[But I really have no way to turn the tables, alas, it's a pity that I haven't finished watching the TV series I've been following. The old emperor angered the empress last night and got kicked out of the bedchamber, and now I'm going to die before seeing the ending. He seems to be planning to paint his face with ink and pretend to be a cat to cheer up the empress...]

"Bang—"

The old emperor slammed the table, forcibly interrupting the continuous stream of thoughts: "I believe Xu Yanmiao did not cheat in the exam! Release him, innocent!"

The civil and military officials couldn't wait to echo, fearing that if they were too slow, Xu Yanmiao might spill more gossip.

"Yes yes yes! Release him innocent!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please end the court session! Let Xu Lang go home and rest! You've tired him out by making him stand for so long!"

The crown prince: ??

Did Xu Yanmiao drug them with hallucinogens or something? <<less

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.”

Yun Chenghuai unexpectedly transmigrated into an ancient ABO novel as the scummy female supporting character, a stepping stone for the female lead.... more>>

As the Ninth Princess of Southern Qin, the second daughter of the former empress, she was bestowed a marriage to a merchant's daughter, even if this merchant's daughter was the daughter of the owner of eighteen mines.

She harbored ambitions for the throne, and marrying a merchant's daughter meant she was excluded from the succession.

The original owner blamed all of this on the female lead, Shen Liunian. Tormenting and scolding her was commonplace. In the dead of winter, the original owner would make the female lead kneel in the courtyard as punishment.

It was precisely at this time that the female lead discovered she was pregnant. Even with her pregnancy, the original owner's torment didn't stop. The female lead had no choice but to conspire with the Crown Princess of Northern Qi to flee Southern Qin, leading to the owner of the eighteen mines unconditionally siding with Northern Qi.

The original owner was consequently confined for ten years. When she finally saw the light of day again years later, she never expected to see Shen Liunian standing before her, clad in armor. Shen Liunian merely glanced at her indifferently, ordering that she be denied food and water. Within a few days, the original owner starved to death in the princely manor.

When Yun Chenghuai transmigrated, it was precisely the critical period when the imperial physician discovered the female lead's pregnancy. Three days later, the female lead would flee Southern Qin.

"Congratulations, Your Highness Prince Chuxiang, the Princess Consort is pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chenghuai's will to survive instantly kicked in. With a grand wave of her hand, supplements flowed into Shen Liunian's courtyard like water. Every day, she would pay her respects in the morning and evening, kneeling by the bed to show concern and warmth.

"What does the Princess Consort wish to eat? This prince will go buy it immediately."

"Who does the Princess Consort find displeasing? This prince will go teach them a lesson."

"What? You find this prince displeasing?" She obediently knelt down.

Shen Liunian: "...???"

Yun Chenghuai: "Wifey, don't leave, wifey is scared, wifey, give me a hug."

***

The Shen family was as rich as a nation. Shen Liunian grew up carefree and indulged in extreme luxury. She could have lived a peaceful life but was forced to marry into the royal family due to an imperial decree, and worse, to an arrogant, brainless princess who subjected her to endless torment.

But just after she became pregnant, Yun Chenghuai changed. The princely manor's assets were handed over with both hands. If she said east, Yun Chenghuai would never go west. The moment the smile left Shen Liunian's face, Yun Chenghuai would immediately admit her mistakes, clearly a henpecked spouse.

Just when she thought Yun Chenghuai had devised a new way to torment her, Yun Chenghuai clasped her hands together, "Please, please, when Southern Qin is destroyed in the future, grant me freedom."

Freedom? Shen Liunian lowered her gaze, concealing the emotions in her eyes. Yun Chenghuai would have to stay by her side for the rest of this life, going nowhere. <<less

Pei Xiting transmigrated into the canary substitute in “Raising.”... more>>

The tyrannical, loyal young marquis, the virtuous prince who turned from a rotten cucumber to a good man; the noble, sickly green tea young master —the s*um gongs group couldn’t get the white moonlight, so they set their eyes on the white moonlight’s younger brother. After truckloads of body and heart ab*se texts, the substitute stabbed his own throat and committed su*cide; thus the literary passion of the crematorium unfolds.

Pei Xiting, who had finished reading: “Ughh…”

Halfway through, he was thrown onto the bed with a chokehold by s*um gong no. 1.

Pei Xiting: “?”

The s*um gongs group was powerful, so in order to protect his butt, Pei Xiting, who was unfamiliar with the place, decided to lightly hug a thigh, and the target was the crown prince of the current dynasty.

As a passerby in the original novel, the prince had very little information available. In addition, Pei Xiting had only heard two rumors:

First, the crown prince killed his elder brother and poisoned his father. He was ruthless and merciless, and his thunderous means shocked the court and the public. Now the emperor is just a puppet, and the crown prince is the one controlling the clouds and rain.

Second: The crown prince is extremely handsome and has topped various lists, such as “Yejing’s dream lover.” Unfortunately, he carries a terrifying aura of “Lonesome beauty, don’t touch; otherwise, I will scatter your ashes”. So far, there has been no brave beauty who can touch this high-mountain carnivorous flower.

He sounds like a dangerous character, but the arrow is already on the string, so Pei Xiting has to shoot.

At first sight, His Royal Highness the crown prince has calm eyes and looks like a person in an ancient painting. Pei Xiting’s hands are itchy: What a perfect nude model; I want to draw!

Later, His Royal Highness the crown prince stripped himself bare, flaunting his broad shoulders and narrow waist, abdominal muscles, and long legs. Pei Xiting’s heart is itchy: Just drawing… is not enough!

Later on:

"Don't get distracted." The voice was low and calm, like a towering jade peak, yet it also held the tremor of a collapsing snow mountain due to indulgence infatuation. The esteemed guest, who stood above thousands, had long fallen into the mortal world, now wielding a sickle of jealousy and possessiveness at those who coveted his treasure.

Pei Xiting caressed the man's Adam's apple, smiling like a fox who finally got what he wanted. "Mhm." <<less

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

One day, when she opened her eyes, Dongbaek found herself much younger.... more>>

She had been living an ordinary college student’s life, but now she was thrown into the era of the Three Kingdoms.

“Um… which country is this?”

“It’s Han (漢). Were you not even aware of where you were?”

As if surviving as a woman in this harsh environment wasn’t difficult enough, a crow named Jao informed her that, as “Alice,” she must kill her nemesis, the “Queen,” to survive.

Determined, Dongbaek disguised herself as a man, entered the household of the powerful Zhang Rang as his adopted son, and began gathering talented figures from the Three Kingdoms one by one, eventually earning the emperor’s favor.

Having no other choice, she set up a cosmetics shop in Chang’an.... more>>

But to the eyes of all, especially her relatives’, she had become nothing but an alluring flower any man could pick at will.

Passing by her Baixiang Pavilion, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Zhen, Lu Yan, witnessed her being harassed by the idle sons of Chang’an’s leading class. Her appearance reminded him of dreams that had been plaguing him lately, revealing to him a past with her and the sultry love affair they had shared in a previous life.

With shaking fingers, he also remembered the bitter taste of heartbreak when she left him to marry another man.

Thus, in this life, he decided to save her once more, lure her into an affair, install her as his mistress and never let her escape his sphere of influence again.

However, to keep Shen Zhen by his side, finding her a place to stay and caring for her brother was not enough. Little did Lu Yan know he would be pulled into the darkest corners of Chang’an and take part in games of power that at times implicated the Main Gentleman of the Empire, the Emperor himself. Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.

All for the sake of Chang’an’s First Beauty. <<less

Zhou An woke up one morning as the Emperor of the Qianyuan Empire. He initially thought he could revel in the company of beautiful women and wield absolute power over the world.... more>>

However, he discovered he was merely a puppet emperor, a pawn used by the Empress Dowager to maintain stability before her own ascension to the throne. He was expendable, liable to be discarded at any moment.

On the empire's borders, foreign tribes were restless, taking advantage of the new emperor's lack of authority, perceived weakness, and the ensuing chaos within the court and the country to invade.

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#

Who would have expected that in this year, when he was seventeen years old.

Suddenly.

The Heavenly Dao Hidden Dragon List appeared. As long as one stays on the list for a full year, one can receive a reward from the Heavenly Dao, causing a shock to the world.

But what shocked the world even more was that the first place on the Hidden Dragon List was actually Peng Feng, who came from a ninth-rate sect like the Five Tigers Broken Door Saber!!!

Overnight, Peng Feng became famous throughout the world!

Even the Five Tigers Broken Door Saber sect, from top to bottom, did not expect that Peng Feng, who was so ordinary in the sect, would actually be so powerful.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, a world where martial arts prowess defines power, Peng Feng finds himself an unlikely hero.

Transported from a world of smartphones and instant gratification, he's reborn into a ninth-rate martial arts family. But fate has other plans.

Peng Feng's talent is unparalleled, his ability to master any technique bordering on the supernatural. He dreams of a quiet life of cultivation, but the arrival of the Heavenly Dao Ranking, a mystical list that broadcasts the strength of every warrior, shatters his anonymity.

Thrust onto the world stage, Peng Feng must navigate the treacherous landscape of rival nations, courtly intrigue, and deadly assassins. As war engulfs the land and the Song Dynasty faces threats from all sides, Peng Feng must choose between his desire for peace and the call to protect his nation.

His journey will span a millennium of Chinese history, a tapestry woven with battles, betrayals, and the relentless pursuit of power. From the clash of empires to the rise of new dynasties, Peng Feng's legend will be forged in the fires of conflict.

This is the story of a reluctant hero, a man whose desire to stay hidden clashes with his destiny to become the ultimate protector. <<less

The female lead is not a white lotus. She will use any means to complete her tasks. To deal with evil people, one must use the same evil methods. The female lead does not love anyone; she only loves herself in this life!

A selfish and self-serving quick transmigration character, a quick transmigration character who respects only herself, and even a quick transmigration character who likes to solve problems with her fists!

Is human nature inherently evil? Or is it inherently good?

The sandalwood canopy bed, carved with flowers and painted with birds, exuded an understated luxury that did little to soothe the turmoil within Lin Lang.

One moment, she was a woman betrayed, dying in a world that had chewed her up and spat her out. The next, she was Mingzhu, a Borjigit noblewoman destined for the Emperor's Harem, a gilded cage where beauty was currency and ambition, a dangerous game. But Lin Lang was no Mingzhu, no starry-eyed girl dreaming of the Emperor's love.

She knew the game, the players, and the tragic end that awaited her predecessor. Armed with the memories of a life wasted on selfless devotion, Lin Lang vowed to seize control of her fate.

In this world of silk and secrets, where every smile hid a dagger and every whispered word could shatter empires, she would not be a pawn. She would be a player, and she would rewrite the sorrows of a co-wife into a symphony of power, resilience, and survival. <<less

From the time she was young, Jiang Changbai wanted to rebel; her father’s older brother, who sat on the throne, paid no attention to governing, so therefore it would be better to swap and have her sit on the Dragon Throne.... more>>

But in the end, without waiting for her to be able to act, Emperor Tai’s most trusted state preceptor unexpectedly revolted before she could. This was the most rapidly gathered rebel army that Jiang Changbai could remember; in four months, they captured half of the Great Li’s territory.

The day the city was broken into, Jiang Changbai unexpectedly saw the study companion whom she had lost five years ago, Song Juguang—wearing plain cotton, escorted out from the crowd, with a word as light as a feather placing her into the emperor’s position.

In the end, regarding herself as a puppet emperor, Jiang Changbai, in self-defence, pretended to be uninterested in governing; the first thing she did on ascending was to place the regent’s hat on Song Juguang, and then push all of the government affairs to her. Yet she couldn’t have imagined that Song Juguang would push her against the desk, and say, “Bixia, please teach me.”

Many years later, while Song Juguang and Jiang Changbai stood side by side on the city walls, looking at the soldiers sharpening weapons and feeding horses, she had a bit of frustration; she’d originally only wanted to take an entry-level mission; how had people and emotions gotten thrown in? <<less

Miss Ruan Ningyu, a distant relative of the Xie Family, was as beautiful as a hawthorn flower, delicate as jade and soft as a flower, yet she committed the scandalous affair of eloping with Young Marquis Shen. On the road of their elopement, she was personally captured and brought back to the capital by her cousin, Xie Ling.... more>>

Xie Ling, the eldest legitimate grandson of a noble family, strictly adhered to etiquette and teachings, and was also rigid and pedantic. In his eyes, she was flirtatious, frivolous, and wanton, the type of woman that he, aloof as snow on a high peak, most despised. After she was captured and brought back to the capital, he subjected her to the family law.

Thus, the first thing Ruan Ningyu did after becoming the Empress was to haphazardly play matchmaker, using her imperial power to forcibly grant him a wife. Xie Ling’s wife was well-educated and polite, a noble lady from a prominent family, and they shared a deep marital affection.

Later, she sent a maidservant to plead with Chief Minister Xie, who by then held immense power over the court, proposing an exchange of benefits to spare her life. The man was silent for a long while, then instructed his subordinates.

“My wife prefers quiet and must not be startled. If any irrelevant people disturb my wife’s peace again in the future, you will be held accountable.”

Compared to his wife, who was respected by the common people, she was merely the Empress who brought disaster to the country and calamity to the people, deserving ten thousand deaths. She thought, she had probably never once truly caught his attention.

Reborn back to the time when she was young, Ruan Ningyu only wanted to stay far, far away from this powerful minister cousin of hers and not repeat her past mistakes. On her way to escape the Xie Mansion, Young Marquis Shen, whom she had toyed with and then abandoned in her previous life, relentlessly pursued her. The seemingly pitiful Seventh Prince, whom she had nurtured, was actually dark-hearted and scheming to possess her…

Little did she imagine that one day she would actually pluck Xie Ling, this “flower from a high peak,” watching him grovel and plead before her, gradually going mad. <<less

Three Emperors have died in quick succession. The prince whom nobody had taken notice of unexpectedly succeeds to the throne. He is quickly plunged into... more>> layers upon layers of danger. The Empress Dowager dislikes him, wishing to install a younger, more obedient Emperor. His half-brother dislikes him, accusing him of stealing the throne that is rightfully his. The palace attendants and servants dislike him, believing that he is not a true Emperor. The Child Emperor must save himself. <<less

At eighteen years old, the young marquis of the Duke’s manor, Xu Chun, had been yearning for a male companion.... more>>

He wanted someone older, who would be considerate.

He wanted someone good-looking; that was a given.

He wanted someone skilled—after all, the first time must set a good precedent.

So he could enjoy the boundless pleasures of life!

After much deliberation, he set his sights on Emperor Jiu, who was traveling incognito.

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;

At fourteen, during the invasion by foreign tribes, he joined forces with enraged border generals to weaken the regent king, who held absolute power and could cover the sky with one hand;

By sixteen, he was already the undisputed emperor of the nine regions;

The emperor governed with ease, not meddling in trivial matters,

Approaching thirty, Xie Yi began to feel;

Life was rather dull;

Being emperor for too long was no fun, he didn’t want to live anymore.

Until he met Xu Chun, the notorious hedonistic heir, in the capital city.

It started with physical attraction, they bonded over kindness and gratitude, love grew from the heart, and they hit it off instantly.

They actually found their lives quite enjoyable together

Until one day, Xu Chun discovered…

That the emperor, who dwelled in the profound imperial palace, whose authority was unfathomable,

Was none other than Jiu Ge, who told him bedtime stories every day and coaxed him to write floral notes. <<less

Xie Yuqing of the past life, Xiao Jinyu of the present.

Having experienced betrayal, the extermination of her clan, and a life of displacement, the reborn Xie Yuqing decides to live a different life. In this chaotic world, outwardly prosperous yet inwardly decaying, she is determined to forge a magnificent prosperity that no one in this world dares to seek. <<less

The flourishing Tang Dynasty was in full bloom, and a shocking fission was imminent.... more>>

In the fifth year of Tianbao, he opened his eyes and saw the prosperous and majestic spirit of "the glorious Tang Dynasty, the blessing of heaven to all nations", with famous generals like clouds, vast territory; capable ministers like rain, abundant granaries; brilliant poetry, dazzling literature; beautiful women, singing and dancing.

He also saw that the whole court was infatuated, arrogant and extravagant, fighting for power; the country was in turmoil, and there were many problems; the Hu people rebelled, and people were like grass.

The drums of Yuyang shook the earth, and he wanted to make this Tang Dynasty not lose its splendor. <<less

The Empress possesses unparalleled beauty, unmatched in the world. She’s delicate and soft, with a natural enchanting scent, making her a coveted yet unattainable top-tier Kunze (Omega).... more>>

Unfortunately, she’s a villain.

As the ultimate BOSS in the book, she’s dark, cold, brutal, and bloodthirsty. She not only killed all her siblings but also mutilated her loyal bodyguard, who was as close as a brother, to a shocking degree of cruelty.

Once, a low-ranking Qianyuan (Alpha) used despicable means to make her his wife. Because he couldn’t mark her, he subjected her to a series of inhumane tortures and even drugged her and sold her into a brothel to pay off debts.

She gouged out her own gland, jumped off a cliff to escape, and immediately launched a furious retaliation after her escape, flaying her s*um wife alive with thousands of cuts.

In short, she’s a woman with the face of a goddess but the heart of a viper, ruthless to her enemies and even more ruthless to herself.

When Lin Yanran opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated as this s*um wife.

The villain before her, the future Empress, was disheveled, her mouth stained with blood, staring at her with icy eyes.

Her cold and beautiful red lips spat out a single chilling word: “Scram.”

Lin Yanran’s heart clenched fiercely!

Even worse, she had just ab*sed the villain and signed a gambling contract to sell her as a wife to pay off debts!

The next second, Lin Yanran knelt down readily: “The old me was possessed by a ghost! From now on, whoever dares to bully you will have to step over my corpse!”

The villain, who had just been reborn and was thinking about how to kill her, paused: “?”

Lin Yanran’s goal was clear: find every way to eliminate the villain’s hatred, make her feel warmth and love, and thus avoid being killed.

Later, the villain personally avenged her enemies, ascended to the throne, and reclaimed everything that belonged to her.

Lin Yanran breathed a sigh of relief, packed her small bag, and hid in a corner of the palace, wanting to sneak away when the patrolling guards weren’t looking.

However, she unexpectedly fell asleep.

When she woke up, the entire palace was on high alert, the Imperial Guards were ready for battle, as if the country was on the verge of collapse.

She heard that the new Empress was furious, stormed out of her coronation ceremony, leaving all the civil and military officials behind. The entire palace was searched thoroughly until Lin Yanran was found in the corner, and only then did everyone keep their heads.

Lin Yanran trembled, thinking she was about to be flayed.

Unexpectedly, the Empress, who rushed over, looked haggard. She took off her brand new imperial robe and carefully draped it over Lin Yanran, her voice laced with lingering fear and a hint of grievance: “Aran, are you abandoning me?” <<less

I was reincarnated in a romance fantasy where the war-crazy tyrant emperor falls in love with the saintly heroine.... more>>

"The Emperor contracting a romantic relationship with the heroine and then falling in love is something only high society would gossip about."

For a minor official in the imperial palace who couldn't even become an extra, whether I have to work overtime tomorrow is more important. Still, living diligently like a good citizen seemed to reward me with a handsome boyfriend...

"Are you planning to hold hands throughout the entire relationship and only kiss at the wedding?"
"You'll regret it."
"I won't."

Can't I just take back what I said?
...For an extra, he was way too handsome.

"Rina, are you planning to seduce the Emperor and run away?" <<less
