Liu Zhenqing was a notorious powerful official in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.... more>>

It was rumored that he was ruthless, brought trouble to the Imperial Court, used the young emperor as a puppet, and had a disloyal heart.

However, heaven had eyes. In the end, Liu Zhenqing was shot through the heart by an arrow and died tragically.

No one could calculate how many sins he had committed. They only knew that after his death, a victim dug up his grave in the middle of the night, crushed his bones, and scattered his ashes.

After his death, Liu Zhenqing reflected on himself. He, a transmigrator, had been reborn as the favored eldest son of a prominent noble family. How had he become a treacherous official?

It was probably because he worked too hard.

He swore that in his next life, he would treat himself well. As a result, in the blink of an eye, he became a distant relative of the same clan eight years later.

Although he was still the eldest son, he was a love-minded cutsleeve. Moreover, everyone in the capital knew that he was frantically pursuing the man who had dug up his predecessor’s grave, General Huo Fenglie.

The people around him still had grudges against him from his previous life, and he was attacked from both sides.

Liu Zhenqing: ……How about I keep a low profile?

Thus, the traitorous official didn’t want to take revenge, but only wanted to stop trying, escape, and live a wonderful retired life as soon as possible.

But when he finally arrived in a carriage at the city gates, the city was sealed shut.

When he looked back, the God of War Huo Fenglie, who was supposed to be standing in front of thousands of troops without a change of expression, was in a state of disorder. As if he had lost his manners, he grabbed Liu Zhenqing’s wrist tightly and lowered his scarlet eyes, his voice slightly unstable: You…….where are you going?

He said: You can’t leave, come home with me.

Liu Zhenqing: ……

f*ck! He couldn’t have recognized him, right? According to the rumors, he was the villain who killed his brother, coveted his sister-in-law, and plotted against his country!

Thinking of the fate of his last body, he shivered.

The little wolf cub finally took home the bone he had longed for. Soon after, the gossiping souls of the people in the capital burned brightly.

Wasn’t it said that the General had a person he was deeply in love with, which was why he had refused the Emperor’s marriage offers several times? Why had he started to hide away a lover? Was he hiding that idiot who had originally harassed him?

Sure enough, a strong man could be won over with persistence! <<less

Everything, except for that man.

"There will never be anyone as terrible as you in this world."

To make matters worse, the moment I transmigrated was right after killing Woo Jiyoo.

But unlike the original story, Go Yeonwoo awakens as an S-Class Guide.

The Espers, upon sensing Go Yeonwoo’s guiding energy, start acting differently from the original.

“This bastard, let’s take him and use him as our personal sl*t. Just killing him would be too easy a punishment.”

“We’ll make him regret killing Woo Jiyoo. I’ll have him begging for death by the end.”

The S-Class Espers fake Go Yeonwoo’s death and imprison him in a secret place, forcing him to guide them.

However, with his already twisted tastes, Go Yeonwoo finds the Espers’ obsessive behavior suffocatingly delightful.

He even pretends to resist, encouraging them to treat him even more recklessly.

But then…

“Hey, are you seriously stopping after eating just this much? Are you planning to starve yourself to death?”

“Get lost, Kang Taewon. Because of you, my sl*t can’t eat properly. I’ll feed him myself. Open wide, Yeonwoo.”

“Yeonwoo, is there something you want to say to me? You were jealous enough to kill Jiyoo over it, weren’t you? If you tell me now, I’ll listen. Go ahead.”

“You’re letting me hold you up? Does that mean you’re giving me permission now?” <<less

After the heiress Mu Wan suddenly died from overworking, she thought it thorough and came to terms with her situation—let’s fully enjoy her second chance at life by indulging in food, drink, and leisure. To hell with work, scheming, and power struggles!... more>>

Then, because of her new carefree attitude, excessive indulgence, and idleness, her engagement was broken off.

Mu Wan: …

Then, out of the blue, an imperial edict came, arranging her marriage to the powerful but intimidating Marquis of Zhenbei—clearly intended as an insult to him.

Mu Wan: ???

Her reborn half-sister arrived, gloating: “So what if he’s tall, elegant, and handsome? Marquis Zhenbei is cold towards women, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. He killed the Empress Dowager and the puppet emperor to put his nephew’s on the throne, but he died on the battlefield later. Even if you don’t die, you’ll soon be widowed, my dear eldest sister.”

What Mu Wan heard amidst the unintelligent noises: Marquis of Zhenbei, put his nephew on the throne, and then died…

So, in a few years, she would inherit both an emperor nephew and all the Marquis’ wealth?

What a stroke of luck! She’s in!

***

Zhenbei Marquis Manor indeed needed a figurehead mistress, so Xie Heng made a strategical decision to marry the easily controlled daughter of a lowly merchant family. It was nothing more than a political move; he treated her as a convenient pet, like a house cat.

But to his surprise, this delicate little cat wasn’t one to be bullied. He couldn’t hit her, nor could he outsmart her in arguments.

Xie Heng began to suspect that she was out to annoy him to death.

One day, Mu Wan sighed: “The Chi Ling Tribe may be barbaric, but their gemstones are truly beautiful.”

Xie Heng, with a cold voice: “So you really wish for my death, don’t you?”

Mu Wan: ???

Later, Xie Heng led his troops to conquer the Chi Ling tribe and threw their royal family’s treasures at Mu Wan, sneering: “Sorry to disappoint you, but this Marquis will live a long life.”

Mu Wan: ???

That same day, Xie Heng lay in bed, flushed and gritting his teeth: “This Marquis will die at your hands sooner or later!”

Mu Wan: …

It was just a simple wound stitching. There’s no need to make it sound so suggestive—her medical skills are great, okay?

Everyone said Marquis Zhenbei Xie Heng was ruthless and cold, and the people he despised the most were those cowards who indulged in pleasures. Yet, when death loomed over him, his first thought was: If he died, who would bring home the tribute fruits for that house cat? Would she be bullied? Who would take good care of her?

He realized then that he must survive, so he could protect her, ensuring she would live a long life, filled with prosperity.

Lu Li finds himself without a retort.

Next, the timid but intelligent Chu Zining, clearly terrified, asks, "Y-you, who are you, why can you control my body?"

Lu Li, hoping to simplify things, declares, "I am Qin Shihuang!"

Chu Zining, however, is a scholar at heart, timidly asking, "May I ask, what are Qin Shihuang’s clan name, given name, and title? At what age did he inherit the throne? In what order did he conquer the Six States...?"

Lu Li can only silently curse the game's unpredictability. 'Seriously, why won't anyone just follow the script?!' <<less

Across the revolving staircase, one of them stood with his hands in his pockets, looking down with averted eyes, while the other, with a hand full of money, looked up.

One watched indifferently, his coldness clearly showing disdain; the other smiled provocatively, thinking that no matter how high the branch, it was unattainable.

Rumor has it that at their second meeting, they ended up in bed together.

The next morning, only Jiang Ruo was left. He held his sore waist and dialed a phone number, gritting his teeth, “How long have you been hungry, Young Master Xi?”

Xi Yufeng remained calm, only asking, “How much?”

Rumor has it that later, Xi Yufeng kept Jiang Ruo, but the two were always at odds. Jiang Ruo even dared to give Xi Yufeng a cold shoulder in front of a room full of people over a bottle of wine given away.

Xi Yufeng, of course, wouldn’t tolerate his pet being disobedient. According to someone passing by the restroom, there was quite a commotion inside. When Jiang Ruo came out, his eyes were brimming with tears, looking like he had just been disciplined.

Rumor has it that the young master of the Xi family has a match-made fiancée, so Jiang Ruo’s audacity won’t last long.

Another rumor says that the Xi family is in an uproar because Xi Yufeng refused to get married.

Beyond the rumors, Xi Yufeng frowned, looking displeased yet helpless, and asked Jiang Ruo, “Are you done causing trouble?”

“No.”

“What do you want now?”

Jiang Ruo smiled brightly, “I want the last rumor to come true… Can it?”

The genius and beautiful young man, Ye Qingxi, died unexpectedly on the day he reached the age of 18.... more>>

Countless people watched him grow up, countless people liked and admired him, and now he has died in the middle of the road.

Hot search crashes, netizens wail, but they don't know that for Ye Qingxi, death is actually a kind of liberation, just like they don't know that he didn't really die but instead traveled into a book and became a 5-year-old cub with the same name and surname.

Opening his eyes again, Ye Qingxi looked at the men, women, and children in front of him, and soon recognized them as the main villain, the minor villain, and the cruel and cold-blooded old villain in the book.

At this time, the old villain's face was livid, the big villain looked cold, and the little villains were arguing.

Ye Qingxi, “Very good, their family will soon be broken up.”

However, six months later, Ye Qingxi looked at the various villains around him, big and small…

“Baby, which car do you like? Let's drive one first and keep the remaining two in your small garage, okay?”

This is a little villain who is a school bully. It is said that he is a rebellious and arrogant person. He is domineering in the high school of the protagonist's younger brother, and the protagonist's younger brother is very afraid.

“Baby, try this, it's so sweet. I've been in line for a long time.”

This is the little villain who is a rock singer. It is said that she is rebellious, unrestrained, and steals love from the protagonist's sister with a sword.

“Get lost, don't you have your own children? Why are you surrounding my children?! Baby, where do you want to go tomorrow? Zoo or amusement park?”

This is the middle villain, who is a top-tier celebrity and his current nominal father. It is said that he bullies others and has a higher eye than the top, making him the biggest stumbling block in the protagonist's entertainment industry.

“Why is it your child? It was clearly brought back by dad! That's what we all share!” The school bully and little villain choked and shouted.

“That's right." The old villain with a strong sense of power and a violent temperament opened his hand, "Come, Xiao Xi, come to Grandpa's side.”

However, the big villain holding onto him did not let go. "Let's wait for Xiao Xi to finish the egg custard first," he said.

After speaking, he gently lifted the spoon and fed it to Ye Qingxi's mouth.

Ye Qingxi, “...”

Is this the legendary villain who made a decisive decision to kill, remained silent and ruthless, and almost forced the protagonist to have no way out?

Are you serious about blowing the egg custard carefully?

At the beginning, Ye Qingxi said, "This family will be breaking up in two days.”

Afterwards, Ye Qingxi said, “No one can break up our loving family!”

Former Ye Qingxi felt that he didn't need any relatives, but later on, Ye Qingxi slept in the arms of his new father and didn't want to leave his family no matter what. <<less
