That’s nice. Just teach the children, drink some wine, listen to operas, and even sneak a few little wolf dogs when you’re free.

Gee, don’t be too unrestrained.

Lu Jinxi’s golden abacus rattled loudly, but who would have guessed that human’s calculations were not as good as heaven’s calculations?

At first glance, the man in the picture was a painted skin demon. He wished he could tear her apart and swallow her whole. He finally ran out of tricks and asked her to remarry. The crippled concubine-born son was actually the former crown prince who was secretive and coveted the mother.

Taichi Ito (42), a salaryman working for Japan’s largest advertising agency, “Denpaku Communications,” was promoted to department head of the prestigious “Planning Division 1” just five years after joining the company. This came on the heels of winning both the CM Grand Prix and a Buzzword Award. However, caught up in office politics, he was transferred to the less glamorous “Planning Division 2” within half a year and has remained a stagnant section chief ever since.

By chance, Ito and Fumino Shinkumo, an OL from his same graduating class, were summoned to another world while riding the same elevator after coincidentally leaving work at the same time. The person responsible for summoning them quickly exited the scene, leaving the two stranded in a mysterious building with no clear way out in this unknown world.

Using their analytical skills and resourcefulness, the pair set out to escape the building…

Mu Jiaojiao had a benefactor who saved her life. After her rebirth, she's determined to repay him. She meticulously attends to every detail of her benefactor's family's needs, even more so than a proper daughter-in-law. Everyone assumes she's in love with one of the Zhan family's sons. However, in the 17th year of the Yanjing era, after Zhan Qiyu becomes the top scholar (zhuàngyuán), she leaves a letter and departs, believing her debt repaid.... more>>

The newly appointed top scholar, dressed in red robes and riding a steed, chases her down the imperial city streets.

"Mu Jiaojiao, if you leave today, I will die today."

"I will only live if you are here."

Mu Jiaojiao thinks Zhan Qiyu is ill. The once aloof and elegant young man has become a sickly weakling, and she can't bear to leave him. Slowly, she discovers his true nature: a powerful and influential minister behind a delicate façade, capable of bringing down even high-ranking officials. Everything is different from what she expected, and she tries to leave.

Unexpectedly, the Mu family receives betrothal gifts from two influential men on the same day.

A powerful man grabs her chin, "Jiaojiao, do you want to be the Crown Princess? Unfortunately, he might not become the crown prince."

Mu Jiaojiao looks at the ribbon on her wrist, sighing, "I have no feelings for him, and I only see you as my benefactor."

But Zhan Qiyu can't let go: "Jiaojiao, I told you, without you, I will die."

She surrenders.

Short Scene:

It's common knowledge in the capital that Madam Zhan never attends social gatherings. Therefore, few have seen her, leading to speculation about her appearance or hidden illnesses. Then, someone spots the top minister with a stunningly beautiful woman, and the entire court is abuzz, believing the minister's image of a devoted husband is ruined. The next day, however, Zhan Qiyu requests a first-rank imperial title for his wife in court. Everyone breathes a sigh of relief. It turns out that while he's outwardly charming, he’s deeply devoted at home. The “other woman,” meanwhile, finding out she will become a first-rank noblewoman, collapses onto the bed, crying for help and medicine. <<less

Jez Norman. 26 years old. Civil servant.

He is one of the young bureaucrats working for the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Tashman Kingdom.

On that morning, just like any other day, he worked at the government office in the capital city, ignoring his boss’s complaints, and in the afternoon, he got on a carriage for a business trip to a provincial city.

More than a week has passed since he left the capital city.

During the journey to the provincial city, he happened to be attacked by bandits, all while doing administrative work (physical).

“Hmm? It’s already taken care of?… Did you handle it?”

The scene was witnessed by the commander of the 7th Army Corps of the Royal Army, also known as the ‘Princess Knight’ of the third princess, Princess Rene Tashman, who rushed to the scene upon someone’s report.

“No, I was helped by a passing mercenary.”

“…No, with that bloodstained fist of yours, that seems unlikely. For now, come with me.”

She transmigrated into a book.... more>>

The good news: She has a system with amazing rewards for completing tasks.

The bad news: It’s a prank system. What emperor wants to get jabbed with needles? What minister would willingly cross-dress? Which prince would ever agree to roll in the mud?

The worst news: She transmigrated into the role of bait for assassinating the tyrant, starting right in the middle of the assassination scene.

In her fury, Yuan Ruan lost her temper.

But what can a baby do? Lie down and accept it? Maybe she’ll get an early ticket to the underworld.

Yuan Ruan: Sigh, just one more cup of tea, and I’ll be thrown out as bait for the assassination. Life’s exhausting.

Unexpectedly, the emperor actually escaped the inevitable death. The accompanying general heroically saves her, presenting her as a gift to the emperor.

Yuan Ruan:

Wow, what a good person! I’ll never mock you as a cuckolded tyrant again.

Wait… Hold on tight! The tyr—um, His Majesty almost dropped me!

....

His Majesty adores his newly recognized little princess so much that he even brings her to court from time to time.

Initially, the ministers grumbled.

Until they overheard Yuan Ruan’s inner thoughts:

“Shocking! The Empress Dowager who just returned from worshipping at Wutai Mountain is actually a man!”

Emperor: !!!

The very next day, the Empress Dowager was exiled overnight by an enraged emperor, complete with the full “family annihilation” package.

“Unbelievable! A Chen Kingdom spy disguised as a cousin is hiding in the Minister of Works’ residence.”

Minister of Works: …

That same day, the minister’s mansion was surrounded by soldiers.

“The national treasury is empty? The system has a map of silver mines! Too bad I need the Minister of Revenue to cross-dress and attend court to unlock the reward.”

Emperor Ying Changchuan, the Great Founder of Zhou: Known for ending chaos and expanding borders as a “traitorous minister,” he established harsh laws impacting millennia, his life a mix of achievements and faults. Thousands of years after his death, he still divides opinion, earning both fervent admiration and intense criticism, truly one of the most controversial figures in history. In a museum a millennium later, Jiang Yuxun, a vocal critic, remarks, “Ying Changchuan’s relentless militarism and grandiose conquests must have made life unbearable for the common people of his time.”... more>>

Everyone in Yanjing knows that the illegitimate sixth young miss from the household of Count of Ding'an, is a vain girl. She adorns herself flamboyantly every day, exuding a thousand of charm, and coveting wealth and prestige. It is said that whoever marries her is doomed to misfortune.... more>>

Everyone in Yanjing also knows that the third young master from the household of Marquis of Yongping is a notorious playboy. He spends his days riding his horse through the streets, indulging in food, drink, and entertainment, without any ambition. It is said that whoever marries him is destined to be pitiful.

An imperial decree brings these two ridiculous individuals together as husband and wife.

From the day of their grand wedding, they put on quite the show at Marquis of Yongping's residence. The playboy wants to open a racecourse, while the vain girl wants to start an embroidery workshop. But the funds allocated to them are limited, leading to lively disputes between the couple.

-----

One night, Jiang Lingyao dons her night clothes and sneaks out of the marquis residence, transforming into a specially appointed prefectural judge for Shuntian Prefecture. As she steps onto the crime scene, she looks up to see a familiar figure.

Duan Nanke, clad in a flying fish robe and holding an embroidered spring knife, stands beside the corpse with a frown. In the cold night, sparks fly as the couple's eyes meet.

Duan Nanke curls his lips into a smile, "My dear, what a coincidence."

Until this most unlikely couple, one becomes the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the other becomes the first female Deputy Chief of the Court of Judicial Review, only then do people finally understand the true intention behind the emperor's matchmaking.

Now that peace reigns in the empire, surely this mismatched pair of work partners will part ways, right?

Yet, to everyone's surprise, the entire Yanjing witnesses the newly appointed Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard tenderly escorting the female Deputy Chief of the Court of Judicial Review through the streets, diligently helping her choose a dagger.

"My dear, this one is the most exquisite. With so many gems, it will surely dazzle when stained with blood."

Jiang Lingyao smiles brightly, her eyes twinkling, "Alright, my husband's taste is the best." <<less

After signing an unscrupulous contract with the "dog ratio system," Mu Qi was sent to ancient times.... more>>

The good news is that the body prepared for him by the system belongs to the heir of the prince of the current dynasty—noble, wealthy, and born at the pinnacle of a fictional empire.

The bad news? The emperor is obsessed with alchemy, and factions of honest and corrupt officials are entangled in endless conflict. The court is riddled with incompetence from top to bottom, the nation is in decline, and the dynasty won't last more than a few decades.

The even worse news? According to the contract drafted by the "dog ratio system," Mu Qi must make a spectacular impact in this era—saving the collapsing nation, supporting a crumbling empire, leaving his name in the annals of history, and achieving eternal fame. Otherwise, he cannot return.

Faced with this "small" task assigned by his superior, Mu Qi, who is only skilled at talking nonsense, was completely overwhelmed:

…Just destroy everything already. Hurry up.

After repeated resistance proved futile, Mu Qi, having fully given up, decided to embrace laziness. Not only did he refuse to cooperate with the system, but he also filled his submitted work logs with relentless complaints and snarky remarks:

[Today, I went to the palace again to kowtow like crazy. I'm absolutely numb—how has that old "wall lamp" been refining elixirs for so many years and still hasn’t croaked to drop some loot?]

[Having to attend court at five in the morning? Damn, what a nightmare. And Senior Official Xu of the Purestream faction, how do you even have the audacity to accuse your political opponents of seizing farmland from the people? Did those tens of thousands of acres of irrigated land in your hometown fall from the sky? Disgusting.]

[Just yesterday, I complained about the Purestream faction, and today I must slap the Filthstream faction in the face! A year of salt inspections brought back only a million tons of silver? Even if the old Taoist’s brain is fried from refining elixirs, he should at least follow our ancestors’ example and flay a few hundred hides!]

[By the way, they say the old "wall lamp" emperor has been abstinent for decades while practicing his arts. Could it really be true? Now that I think about it, it kind of makes sense why fandom writers ship him with his sworn brothers in those slash pairings...]

Every night, Mu Qi would vent his frustrations with a thorough round of furious complaints, dumping all his verbal garbage into the system before immediately falling asleep without a care in the world.

However, Mu Qi seemed to have forgotten one important detail: the tr*shy system he was assigned had never guaranteed his information privacy…

The emperor, immersed in the pursuit of alchemy, secluded himself in a secret chamber for days of meditation. Finally, the heavens were moved by his sincerity. One day, a blinding light filled the room, and a booklet descended from the air. On its cover were four golden words: "Work Diary."

The emperor, overjoyed, bathed, burned incense, and opened the booklet with reverence, eager to receive the divine guidance:

[June 11th night, daily complaint as usual: After all this heavy metal poisoning, how is the "wall lamp" on the dragon throne still alive?]

The emperor's smile froze.

On June 12th, a sudden upheaval swept through the palace. It was said that on this day, the emperor expelled all the Taoists, severely punished the salt inspectors, confiscated their entire estates, and flayed them as a warning to others.

That same day, as Mu Qi lay idly at home, he suddenly heard the long-lost notification sound:

"Huh? Why is the mission progress bar moving on its own?" <<less

The male protagonist, Xue Yan, who was originally an unfavored prince, was ostracized and persecuted since he was a child. After the blackening, he formed a private party to support his younger brother to the throne and became a sovereign regent.

He also slaughtered the young Empress Dowager’s whole family, forcing the Empress Dowager to stay with him. The Empress Dowager fell in love with him and was willing to be his plaything.

The whole book was full of an indescribable scene between the two of them. It made Jun Huailang tremble in anger.

Because this Empress Dowager was not someone else, but his own biological younger sister. It was not someone else’s family that was slaughtered, but his family.

After rebirth, facing a younger sister who was only six years old, Jun Huailang, the gentleman of Qianqian, made up his mind for the first time.

He’s going to kill that beast for his sister.

She clears wasteland for farming, raises livestock and poultry, and even brings back a wolf cub from the mountains to raise. Eventually, she manages to scr*pe by. Later, the perfumes she creates take the markets of Luzhou by storm, and everyone respectfully addresses her as “Boss Zhang.”

Despite her success, Zhang Wanqing never forgets her roots. She promotes agriculture, builds schools, and provides relief to refugees, earning widespread praise and admiration.

But what should she do about the handsome yet silly young man who follows her around like a loyal puppy during her daily tasks? When she hoes the ground, he fetches water. When she feeds the chickens, he herds the sheep—seemingly oblivious to the mud dirtying his elegant azure silk robes.

“Suhan Shan, the fields aren’t plowed yet—what’s the point of watering them?” Zhang Wanqing finally questions him, her bright almond eyes glaring in exasperation. The bashful young man blushes, scratching his head and apologizing, “Mother said the soil must be moist for plowing to go smoothly!”

At first, it seemed like a perfectly ordinary remark. But Zhang Wanqing is suddenly reminded of the shadows and whispers beneath the red canopy last night. Her face flushes crimson, and she tosses her farming tools aside, fleeing into the house. Behind her, the silly young man stands in the garden, scratching his head in confusion. <<less

And by his bedside—

"You're the goddess? I'm Huo Jingchuan. You've descended to marry me."

Unofficial histories record that the Imperial Preceptor of the Great Yong Dynasty divined that Prince Qing, Huo Jingchuan, had a noble destiny and could only marry a goddess.

Prince Qing himself found this absurd and rode out of the palace alone for a hunt. His riding and archery skills were unmatched in the capital. No one could stop him.

But on this particular day, his horse was startled, and he was thrown, landing headfirst.

When he woke up again, he actually saw a "goddess" on the bed, her appearance perfectly to his liking.

There was just one problem.

It wasn't his bed, and he himself was as light as a feather, able to float, seemingly having become a wandering soul from a storybook.

Two months later,

Xie Baizheng thought he was just taking it easy, only dealing with some unavoidable troubles, but the Imperial Academy sent him an acceptance letter, a prominent political figure who had established his own school of thought wanted to take him as a disciple, and even a notorious organization came to ask if he wanted to support Prince Qing as the next emperor?

Xie Baizheng: "..." Huh?

Prince Qing himself was annoyed. His wife was a workaholic, always getting promoted, always surrounded by bothersome people. How could he make his wife focus only on him?

After some thought, Prince Qing decided to formally propose marriage.

One hundred and eighty dowry gifts were still on their way when the entire court panicked: "Your Highness, a man cannot be a princess consort!"

Young Master Xie was a national treasure and couldn't be monopolized by Prince Qing!

Everyone thought that the woman who had abandoned Huo Jue would meet a bad end in his hands.

No one knew that ten years ago, a girl traveled thousands of miles alone just to tell her former fiancé, who had suffered palace punishment, “In this life, there is more than one path to take. It’s just a matter of choosing another path. It’s difficult, but you must keep going and live your own life.”

Her former fiancé said, “Okay.”

The girl cried and said, “Then I’ll go back and get married.”

Her former fiancé said, “Okay.”

Since then, she has been the cinnabar mole on his heart, unfathomable and untouchable.
