In the capital's elite social circles, rumors abound about Wen Yu's ruthlessness. Even the Emperor, upon hearing these tales, has repeatedly nodded in agreement!... more>>

Wen Yu, upon learning of this, responded with a cold smile: From a young age, her mother was mu*dered, her grandmother showed no affection, and her father offered no love. She was the target of envy and constantly schemed against. After much hardship, she finally secured a good husband, only to find her marital home a chaotic mess!

Should she play the innocent fool? If so, would a husband of exceptional talent and beauty, intelligent and considerate children, a devoted mother-in-law, and the title of Duchess simply fall from the sky?! In her past life, the Duchess met a miserable end!

Our protagonist first sets her sights on the male lead, unceremoniously claiming him as her own. After marriage, she employs every tactic imaginable: throwing herself into his arms, playing hard to get, alternating between gentle affection and playful dominance, expressing care while subtly tormenting…

From then on, the exceptionally handsome, ruthless, yet capable Fifth Young Master Qi, whose emotional intelligence borders on naive innocence, is repeatedly berated by the Emperor, who points a finger at him and scolds, "You spineless fool! What kind of life is this?! Divorce her immediately! Don't be afraid, I will support you!"

Fifth Young Master Qi blushes slightly: Actually, this life… isn't so bad…

This story portrays a strong female lead who makes every effort to achieve happiness.

***

Overlooked and undervalued, Wen Yu, the legitimate daughter of the Wen family, endures a life of quiet suffering.

On her fifteenth birthday, tragedy strikes, setting in motion a chain of events that culminates in her agonizing death. Miraculously reborn, Wen Yu returns to the day it all began, armed with the bitter memories of her past life and a steely resolve to change her fate. This time, she won't be a pawn in her family's games.

She will reclaim what is rightfully hers, expose the hypocrisy and cruelty of those who wronged her, and forge a new path for herself.

But as she navigates the treacherous landscape of family politics and builds her own power, she must confront not only her past enemies but also the unexpected attention of powerful figures who see her as a valuable asset in their own games.

Will Wen Yu succumb to her thirst for revenge, or can she find a way to break free from the cycle of pain and create a different future for herself? <<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. They clamored to execute the "incompetent ruler" and "save" the people of Qianyuan from their plight.

Demons wreaked havoc, ghosts ran rampant, sects proliferated, and righteous-demonic wars ravaged the land, causing widespread suffering.

Zhou An activated his cheat, the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

Lighting up the harem map, he obtained the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Records.

Lighting up the main palace map, he obtained the Qianyuan Dragon Armor.

Lighting up the Eastern Palace map, he obtained the Son of Heaven Swordplay.

Lighting up the Western Palace map, he obtained the Universe Steps.

Lighting up the entire imperial palace map, he obtained the True Dragon Energy. <<less

"Have you heard? A new demon has appeared in the Jianghu?"... more>>

"Are you talking about that Shi Laomo, the one who claims to have world-shaking wisdom?"

"Yes, that demon! He's incredibly powerful in martial arts. He often uses a flawed manual to drive entire sects mad, turning them into something neither human nor ghost, completely insane! And he takes pleasure in it!"

"I've heard similar things! That demon is truly heartless and insane!"

Half a divine manual sets Shi Feizhe on his martial arts path!

When he finally becomes invincible, when everyone cries out to defeat him, facing the rumors of the Jianghu, he angrily rebukes:

"What? I practiced it wrong?"

"Impossible! Absolutely not!"

"With the same technique, I'm clearly stronger!"

"You can't cultivate it? That's because your talent is insufficient, it's your problem! You are the ones who are wrong!"

"No one understands martial arts cultivation better than me!"

City of Yellow Heaven plunges readers into a world of high-stakes martial arts, treacherous alliances, and the relentless pursuit of power.

Shi Feizhe, a transmigrator from a world of mundane office work, finds himself in Yiyang City, newly occupied by the enigmatic Yellow Heaven Path.

Determined to forge a different destiny in this dangerous new reality, he stumbles upon a mysterious martial arts manual, the True Origin Sword Finger Formula, setting him on a path of self-discovery and perilous adventure. <<less

Beside the Qinhuai River, the moonlight was like silver. Beneath the peony blossoms, Chu Qiu leaned close to the beauties, vowing to live a life of romance, drunkenly resting his head on a beauty's lap, and laughing at the affairs of the mortal world. But fate is fickle, and in the end, he couldn't withstand King Yama's cold scythe. His soul, like a fallen leaf returning to its roots, was silently drawn into the depths of the Underworld.... more>>

Entering the Netherworld, he obtained the supreme treasure, the "Book of Life and Death." One day in the Netherworld was equivalent to a thousand years in the world. When he opened his eyes again, he had already boarded a broken ship of transmigration.

At the awakening ceremony, he was full of anticipation, but failed midway. In despair, he re-entered the Netherworld, and after a bloody battle, he finally contracted the divine beast Diting.

Returning to the human world, he found that the road ahead was not as smooth as he had imagined. Former enemies, harboring resentment, stirred up trouble like venomous snakes in the dark night. Former friends, having succeeded in their awakening, discarded him like worn-out shoes, watching with cold eyes. Fortunately, the mentor showed concern, the city lord concealed for him, and the principal helped him soar.

Exotic beasts, Otherworlders, traitors, mortal enemies make the road difficult. Family, friendship, love, cherished thoughts can cross the bridge of life and death.

One man, two beasts, three cups of wine. Respect for heaven, respect for earth, respect for beauty.

I, Chu Qiu, today open the gate of heaven with beasts! I invite you all to witness! <<less

The Sacred Lord of Primal Beginning: "How did the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets learn that my Primal Beginning Sacred Land conceals two Imperial Weapons?"

The Sacred Lord of Shimmering Light: "I've been undercover in the righteous sects for three thousand years and was on the verge of unifying them! How did the Pavilion expose my identity as a demonic cultivator?"

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone: "The Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets is terrifying! I have lived for three million years and believed myself to be unrivaled, yet I am ranked a mere seventeenth on the Supreme Leaderboard!" <<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.”

Long-time childhood friends, Lowell and Julia share a long-lasting connection.

“…Forget everything about the past.”

“…Ugh!”

His words stabbed me.

More painful than the discreet inner turmoil that was currently tormenting me, his words were even more agonising.

Finally, I closed my eyes.

I could feel the tears trickle down my closed eyes.

“Forget everything and hate me, Julie.”

He had me captive for a long time.

I no longer cried, nor did I struggle.

He chewed me up and tore me apart. If he embraced me, I got f*cked.

‘Goodbye, Romi.’

Rast’s time was hopelessly frozen on the same day after transmigrating into the western fantasy game Snow Moon Emblem.... more>>

No matter what he did, when dusk arrived, the resurrected Old God would erase the entire city known as Deep Blue Port, along with every trace Rast had left behind.

Time would rewind, and everything would begin again.

He had once been joyful, using endless time to pursue various women, studying the most obscure and remote books in the library, honing each of his skills to perfection...

He had also despaired, attempting to prevent the descent of the evil god, only to fall into utter hopelessness amidst endless failures...

Until that day, after three hundred years of rewinding and failing, when Rast once again, in his mortal body, faced the Old God head-on, he saw a figure that absolutely should not have appeared.

“Eh? According to history, Deep Blue Port should have been destroyed by the aftermath of the divine descent.”

The poster girl from the game cover, the 「Azure Silver Sword Saint」 Shiltina, was staring at him with a face full of confusion.

“And also, who is this strange Historical Echo instance NPC, and why is there absolutely no record of him in the chronicles?”

Rast: ?

So this is a replica projected from past history, and I’m just an NPC in the historical instance?

So, I’ve been playing the beta server for a whole three hundred years?

……

Breaking free from the shackles of time, the prisoner shattered the cage of history.

And thus——

A player more terrifying than any boss was born. <<less

“I have no intention of touching a woman. That applies even to my wife.”  ... more>>

Ryu Sung-woon, a man seeking a child through in vitro fertilization from his blind date partner. Instead, Su-hwa steps in for the woman who stormed out and offers him a contract marriage.  

“I’ll give birth to your child.”  

After five years, she reunites with her first love. But Sung-woon fails to recognize her—not even realizing she was the intruder who once climbed over the villa’s wall.  

However, on their wedding night, when she expects them to sleep in separate rooms, her husband climbs into her bed.  

“W-Why are you taking off your clothes?” 

"Then, do you prefer keeping them on, Ms. Song Su-hwa?"  

Sung-woon had even come out as a man who preferred men. He didn’t want to be with a woman, which was why he had insisted on in vitro fertilization. So why…?  

“What’s the problem? You said you’d bear my child. It was clearly stipulated in the prenuptial contract and notarized, wasn’t it?”  

Looking into his wife’s wide, startled eyes, Sung-woon smirked in satisfaction. The intruder who had once made him question his own s*xual orientation had walked right into his life.   

How could he have forgotten those dark, pebble-like eyes? He had imagined kissing her countless times.  

“I won’t let you slip away a second time.”  

It seems my preference has always been the same. Back then and now, it’s still you.   <<less

“Now you won’t fall ill without me, and I was thinking it’s about time I looked for other work.” After untangling her twisted mana and opening up the pathways, the young lady who had grown up healthy and strong had become an Aura Master. Thinking this was enough, he was about to leave to find another path when—

CRASH. The entire office window was torn away as a cool breeze rushed in. Sherys, who had barely managed to find a single scratch on her perfectly fine fingertips, squeezed it with both hands and showed him a tiny drop of blood no bigger than an ant’s tear, while pitifully drooping her eyebrows.

“I’m hurt, Eddie.”

“……”

“Make it better.”

……Retirement seems difficult.

There was nowhere to retreat. Edward looked up at Sherys, who had trapped him in her arms while he pressed his back firmly against the chair.

“What if I told you I have a lover?”

“Since I can’t bear to see you cry, I’d have to give up cleanly. While keeping a watchful eye for opportunities, of course.”

Is that really giving up cleanly? While her words sounded innocent, her expression looked quite displeased. Without realizing it, he became frightened and asked again.

“What if I don’t have one?”

“Unless you throw a tantrum saying you hate it to death, I’ll use all my strength to seduce you.”

“……And that’s the current situation?”

“Yes.” <<less

On a bitterly cold winter night, the man who appeared showed no mercy.... more>>

A groan escaped her lips. Her pulled-back head tilted sharply.

Under the crushing grip so strong it felt as though her scalp might be torn, she could utter nothing but a short scream.

“Answer me.”

Her vision was completely obscured, and the flow of air around her twisted unnaturally.

When the terrified woman fumbled, unable to find where to look, he firmly held her head in place with one hand.

On her knees, Ha-yoon rubbed her head against the edge of his thigh and blinked as she looked up at Moo-geon.

“Why don’t you do the thing you’re good at?”

With a gulp, Ha-yoon held back her tears and asked.

“Why… why won’t you cut it for me?”

Instead of answering, Moo-geon rubbed the back of her head with his large hand. Then he abruptly pulled her closer. It only took a moment for her head to be shoved between his legs.

“Ah, the debt my father owes…”

“Yes. Because of your father’s debt, I…”

Moo-geon tilted Ha-yoon’s head back with the hand holding her.

Partially crouching on one knee to meet her gaze, he leaned in close and whispered into her ear.

“A clean body for someone in the mafia.”

She, the agent—

“I don't like drawing on my body, so I haven’t.”

—and he, the mafia boss, met.

“But if you want it.”

His steps were elegant and dignified. Why was someone in the mafia even graceful?

“I could at least engrave your name.”

He picked up a pen with the unusually long space between his middle and index fingers. He pulled off the pen cap with his lips and spat it on the floor, then rolled up one sleeve.

A black line from the pen drew across his pale skin.

{Hye-young}

Hye-young. A name her Italian adoptive parents insisted she keep, saying the Korean name was beautiful.

“How is it? Do you think it’ll look pretty?”

Looking at his elegantly drawn handwriting, Hye-young replied.

“… What if I say it will?”

“If you say it’s pretty,”

A sinister light shimmered in his eyes.

“I’ll engrave it right now.”

Why was it that, at the mention of him engraving a tattoo on his arm, the space between her legs tightened?

“You… really…”
