[A rose in the darkness will eventually bloom at dawn~]

In her past life, Liu Yutong was a lawyer. After being reborn, she was mistakenly identified as the daughter of a mafia boss.

Her subordinates were all ex-cons and street thugs, dead set on making it big in the underworld.

To avoid being dragged into their shady dealings and getting swept up in a crime crackdown, she resolved to lead them onto the straight and narrow—educating them on the law and guiding them toward the light.

In the end, she succeeded, molding them into law-abiding, legally savvy members of society.

But something still felt... off.

Years later, at the company’s annual meeting.

Liu Yutong looked out at the sea of employees in black suits, standing like a mafia entourage, all bowing respectfully and chanting, "Young Miss!"

Her heart skipped a beat.

"...Did we really go legit?"

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.

The System’s clue to escape lies in a disposition: The One Who Resists. To activate it, Sayun decides to raise Geonju to S-rank and stay close to him. He pampers him endlessly, calling him pretty, nurturing him with care, only for Geonju to disappear without a word just as he was on the verge of becoming an S-ranker.

A few years later, the upper echelons of Kyoto's elite circles are shaken. The unruly and arrogant Crown Prince of the Gu family has actually taken a fancy to a village girl.

It is said that this village beauty is also the village bully, lazy, fierce, and uneducated, and her entire family is made up of oddballs!

How can a village girl be compared to the young ladies of the upper class? Everyone mocks Song Chu.

However…

Big shots in animal husbandry and planting; a magnate in the catering industry; the founder of an educational institution; the richest person in the country... one after another, they declare, "I owe all my success today to my Little Sister, Song Chu!"

Everyone is collectively dumbfounded: Really? We don't believe it!

But then, on the same day, the country's top biopharmaceutical research institute officially announces: "Congratulations to Dr. Song Chu for winning the International Pharmaceutical Gold Award, and thank you to Dr. Song for leading us to become the world's most advanced pharmaceutical organization."

This is immediately followed by an article lavishly praising her, along with a photo of her holding the trophy.

Looking at the fair-skinned, beautiful, and exceptionally elegant Dr. Song, everyone's jaws drop. What happened to the rustic and uneducated village girl? This is clearly a beautiful, cool, and talented winner in life…

At the same time, the Crown Prince of the Gu family, who is also a tech giant, approaches Song Chu: "How about taking responsibility for me first..."

In a world ravaged by the apocalypse, Song Chu, a brilliant but solitary biologist, met an untimely end. However, her story didn't end there. She awakens in 1975, in the body of a notorious village bully in rural China, a woman with the same name but a vastly different reputation. This Song Chu is known for her laziness, fierce temper, and a hopeless infatuation with the handsome educated youth, Gu Yue.

Adding to the bizarre situation, Song Chu discovers that her state-of-the-art laboratory from the apocalypse has inexplicably followed her, split in half, with the other half now residing within Gu Yue's mind. To regain her full laboratory and understand this strange phenomenon, she must cooperate with the very man her host body once harassed.

As Song Chu navigates this new reality, she decides to use her knowledge and skills from the future to improve the lives of her newfound family and the impoverished village. She sets her sights on revolutionizing the village's agricultural practices, starting with an oil pressing workshop and dreaming of larger ventures like a chicken farm and food processing factory. Along the way, she confronts her host body's past misdeeds, reforms her troublemaking brothers, and deals with the jealous schemes of her former best friend.

Amidst her ambitious plans, Song Chu finds herself drawn to the intellectual and enigmatic Gu Yue. Their forced partnership blossoms into a complex relationship as they work together, sharing knowledge and challenging each other's perspectives. As Song Chu strives to uplift her village and secure a brighter future, she must also navigate the delicate balance between her growing connection with Gu Yue and her desire to remain independent. <<less

In 2002, Shen Qingye graduated from university and became a clerical officer at the Pingjiang City Criminal Investigation Division.... more>>

The job was leisurely, with a stable daily routine, making it the perfect choice for a laid-back life.

Until one day, by chance, she was brought to a mu*der scene.

After the on-site investigation, the police identified a suspect and were about to summon him when Shen Qingye suddenly heard a sharp, crying voice in her ear:

[The killer isn’t Lin Xiaofeng! It’s Li Dazhi! That scoundrel upstairs!]

Shen Qingye paused, her gaze slowly shifting to the seemingly honest and kind-looking man outside the door…

From that moment on—

Major cases like the Rainy Night Serial mu*ders, the Bloody Wedding, and the Husband-Killing Case were solved at an unprecedented pace.

Shen Qingye’s peaceful life was gone forever, replaced by the birth of a new legend in the police force.

·

Yue Lingchuan, the leader of the Major Case Unit Three, was known for his godlike investigative skills and held a formidable reputation in the police force. However, he was also known for his cold, unyielding demeanor and lack of warmth.

Until one day, during an assignment, someone saw him being gentle and patient with a young woman, showing her unusual care.

Everyone couldn’t help but wonder: What kind of person could earn his favor?

It wasn’t until the resolution of a major international case, when Shen Qingye stood on the award podium receiving the highest honor in the police force, radiant and heroic, that everyone realized she was no mere pretty face. She was an unparalleled legend in the police world.

At first, Yue Lingchuan scoffed at the rumors about their relationship:

“I’m just nurturing talent. What do you all know?”

But later, as the girl’s brilliance grew and more men began to cast admiring glances her way, Yue Lingchuan couldn’t help but darken his expression.

PS: Crime investigation, not horror.

"What are you thinking about?"

"!"

Their eyes met directly as Killian, who had been burying his face against her chest, suddenly looked up.

"W-What do you mean, thinking..."

Shannon turned her head hastily, unable to hide her surprise.

"Should I take a guess?"

As usual, Killian's voice showed no sign of losing his composure. Instead, he looked amused by Shannon's flustered state, and he chuckled before casually asking, just like he always threw in his meaningless jokes.

"I wonder what would happen if I shot that pretty head of yours..."

Shannon couldn't even breathe, let alone reply. Killian smiled deeply, then leaned down and pressed his lips against hers again. And with their breaths still mingling, he whispered teasingly once more.
