Kim Dokja does not consider himself the protagonist of his own life. Befitting the name his parents gave him, he is a solitary person whose sole hobby is reading web novels. For over a decade, he has lived vicariously through Yu Junghyeok, the main character of the web novel Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse (TWSA). ... more>>

Through Junghyeok, Dokja has experienced secondhand the trials of repeatedly regressing in time, in search of an end to life-threatening “scenarios” that force people to act out narratives for the amusement of god-like “Constellations.”

After reading 3,149 chapters—long after all other readers lost interest—Dokja finally resigns himself to the story ending. However, he receives an enigmatic message from the author, stating that the story will soon be monetized, before his surroundings suddenly go dark.

He swiftly realizes that fiction has become reality and he is now living through TWSA. Although he is the singular omniscient reader of the events yet to come, his success in the scenarios is not guaranteed—but perhaps his advantage will empower him to step into the protagonist role that never suited him before. <<less

Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.

"A Fox Cultivation Partner? – On the Path to Immortality"... more>>

Deep in the mist-wrapped peaks of Spirit Mountain, the aloof cultivator Yun Zhao found a wounded silver fox.

Its eyes gleamed like moonlight, its fur was white as snow, and it always nuzzled against his fingertips.

Yun Zhao’s heart softened, and he took it back to his cave.

But he soon realized—

This little fox stole his spirit fruits at midnight, burrowed into his lap during meditation, and after transforming… it turned out to be a smiling, enchanting youth?

"Since the Immortal Lord saved me… why not take me as your cultivation partner?" The fox boy’s tail swayed lightly, his tone sweet yet sly.

Chi Qiong was the only surviving ancient divine phoenix in the heavens and earth, having slumbered for billions of years before being awakened by a mediocre spirit contract master named Yun Xiguang in modern times.... more>>

He discovered that the wings that once overshadowed the heavens had turned into tender little wings, and his once majestic figure that towered over ancient beasts had become a round, chubby, fluffy body that could be held in the palm of one’s hand—a mere fledgling.

Chi Qiong gazed sternly at the spirit contract master Yun Xiguang with his tiny, bean-like eyes:

"Human, become my spirit-servant; lend me thy aid to restore mine ancient power, and I shall grant thee ten thousand years of glory."

However, when he opened his mouth, all that came out was: "Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

In order to show this ignorant human his might, Chi Qiong bestowed upon him a single phoenix feather.

Yun Xiguang picked up the downy feather that had fallen to the ground and sighed: "Sigh, the only spirit beast willing to respond to me is a little chick that sheds feathers. What else can I do? I’ll just have to dote on it."

At the Shooting World Cup awards ceremony, the entire nation cheered.

As reporters approached for interviews, before the audience could recover from his godlike appearance, they heard He Xingwang’s clear and resonant voice:

“My next plan is to get married.”

Global media congratulated him and the unknown lucky girl.

At her graduation party, Chi Suisui showcased her exceptional cello skills, and the video of her performance went viral online.

Netizens dug up her old Weibo posts: “Today I’ll cook something extra for my family.”

The accompanying picture showed a small, ugly fish.

Netizens: How poor must her family be??

Not long after, leaked invitations for a dating reality show revealed that Chi Suisui had declined.

Her reason? Her family had arranged a childhood betrothal.

Netizens: Her fiancé must be some smelly, uncouth dude, right??

Later, at the Olympics, He Xingwang won a gold medal. During the live broadcast, the camera panned over the audience.

Chi Suisui was seen holding the national flag, her eyes smiling brightly.

This photo instantly exploded on the internet, earning praise both domestically and internationally.

After the Olympics, outdoor streamers at the airport captured He Xingwang cradling a sleeping girl in his arms.

Her coat slipped off, revealing a radiant and beautiful face.

The live chat erupted.

Netizens: Isn’t that Chi Suisui?!

Netizens: I want this kind of childhood betrothal too!

One day, during Chi Suisui’s concert, a billionaire CEO and his wife, a national treasure musician, attended together. When interviewed by an obscure tabloid, they lavished excessive praise on her performance, sparking heated online debates.

The next day, an interview clip surfaced:

“What’s wrong with me praising my daughter’s performance?”

After a seven-year-long relationship, just as Shen Yu and Cheng Mofei were about to get married, Shen Yu was diagnosed with terminal cancer.... more>>

In the final moments, lying on the hospital bed, his once-proud and strong lover held his hand tightly, crying uncontrollably.

When Shen Yu opened his eyes again, he traveled back twelve years to the year he turned eighteen, just after finishing the college entrance exams.

Given a second chance at life, Shen Yu decided on two goals:

1. Take care of his health.

2. Live a good life with Cheng Mofei.

Shen Yu resolutely filled out his college application to Cheng Mofei's former university, packed his belongings, and headed alone to the northern city where they had spent seven years together.

The first time they met was at the freshman reception. Cheng Mofei was being confessed to by a junior, but his face showed clear disdain as he said, "I'm straight, I’m not interested in men."

Shen Yu: "?"

He distinctly remembered it was Cheng Mofei who had made the first move on him.

The second time they met was in their dorm room. Shen Yu had used a few connections to become Cheng Mofei's roommate.

Cheng Mofei threw an arm around his shoulders in a familiar way, leaned into his neck to sniff for a long moment, and asked, "Brother, what did you put on? It smells good."

Shen Yu replied with the name of a body wash brand.

It was Cheng Mofei's favorite body wash—the same one that bore witness to countless passionate moments they shared in the bathroom.

The next day, an identical bottle of body wash appeared in their dorm bathroom.

The third time they met was in the campus clinic. An athletic student had been harassing the pretty freshman, Shen Yu.

Cheng Mofei strode up, shielding Shen Yu behind him, his gaze icy as he said, “My brother is a straight man. Take your filthy thoughts elsewhere.”

Shen Yu: “…” Actually, he wasn’t.

While Shen Yu was torn over how to bend the still-closeted Cheng Mofei, Cheng Mofei seemed to be unknowingly courting him every day.

“Shen Yu and I hit it right away. We’ll definitely be good brothers for life.”

“What’s wrong with good brothers sharing a bed?”

“Good brothers should shower together.”

“We straight guys don’t care about stuff like that, do we?”

Shen Yu: “…”

—

Later, Cheng Mofei began to notice a few peculiarities about his “good brother.”

He realized Shen Yu seemed to have someone special in his heart. His phone password was a date—one that turned out to be their future anniversary.

He even muttered someone’s nickname in his sleep. And all this time, the body wash he had been using was the exact scent loved by that mysterious someone.

And… that "someone" seemed to be a man!

Cheng Mofei was completely floored.

On the anniversary from his previous life, Shen Yu had dressed up carefully and bought Cheng Mofei’s favorite small cake, hoping to celebrate this special day with him in this lifetime.

But as soon as he opened the dorm door, he was pinned against the wall.

The familiar fragrance lingered at the tip of his nose as Cheng Mofei, gritting his teeth, said: “You’re not allowed to be with some wild man.”

Shen Yu: “?” <<less

Xie Shuci Transmigrated into an Unnamed Minor Villain in the Book... more>>

In the novel, on the path of growth of Protagonist Shou, he only managed to step on him before being chopped off by his knife.

Xie Shuci admonished himself, "Let's cherish life and stay away from the protagonist Shou!"

So the next day, he left that troubled place.

*

On the road, Xie Shuci found a badly injured young boy. Carrying a pocket full of miraculous medicines, he casually fed one to the boy.

However, the medicine, although effective, also had side effects.

When the boy woke up, not only did he lose his cultivation, but he also became deaf, mute, and blind.

Xie Shuci, "..."

So, there was another little companion beside him.

------

After transmigrating into the book, Xie Shuci had been living a decent life.

Despite having a little companion, the little companion barely had any presence.

The little companion couldn't speak or see, and Xie Shuci never avoided him while bathing or changing clothes.

Sometimes, he even performed a dance in a blissful manner while being naked in front of him.

This kind of life continued for several months.

Until one day someone told him that the little brat beside him was originally named Xiao Xun.

That's it, the protagonist Shou who chopped him up with a knife—Xiao Xun!

Xie Shuci, "..."

Wah-, what a joke.

That night, while everyone was asleep, Xie Shuci packed his bags and prepared to run away.

What? He has no conscience?

This was the protagonist Shou, who had severe psychological issues and an unpredictable personality! If Xie Shuci made him unhappy, his life would be forfeit! Anyway, whoever wanted to take responsibility could take it!

But just as Xie Shuci sneaked to the door, his body was trapped in place by an invisible force.

He stiffly turned his head and saw the little companion, who usually seemed weak and afraid to sleep alone, sitting by the bed. With a slight curl of his finger, Xie Shuci involuntarily walked step by step toward him.

"Xie Shuci, leaving me alone, where do you think you're going?"

The little companion leaned against the bed railing, his face pale, and his gaze sinister.

Sinister gaze...
Yes, his gaze was sinister.

This bastard, he wasn't blind at all!

The Crown Prince’s Toy

A Life That Can’t Die

All of these were words that referred to Lyrette.

After her father’s rebellion failed, Lyrette fell from grace and became the Crown Prince’s plaything.

Then, as if by some divine prank, the name of Duke Eustutia, who was no different from the royal family, manifested in her body.

Fate and curse

Disease and stigma

Coincidence and destiny

Due to his name, Lyrette became entangled with him in a mess, regardless of her will.

“No greeting?”

“…Good morning, Your Grace.”

The smile on his lips deepened slightly. It was a very conscious smile.

“No.”

“Yes?”

“I am your owner now.”

The smile was beautiful, but its essence was ominous. <<less

In the 23rd year of the Longfeng reign, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace had been deposed for five years. Once a figure of otherworldly grace, he was banished to the imperial mausoleum, crushed under endless humiliation. That same year, the Emperor, blinded by the pursuit of immortality, let the West Bureau eunuchs seize power. At the helm was Xue Shu, the Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau-a man whose influence eclipsed the court, silencing opposition with a single wave of his hand.... more>>

Even the throne itself danced to his tune. Princes grovelled and schemed, desperate to curry favor, hoping he would elevate them to the imperial seat. But no one could've guessed that Xue Shu would one day retrieve the deposed Crown Prince from exile and personally help him ascend to the throne.

The once untouchable, iron-fisted eunuch, who held the empire in his grasp, willingly knelt at the feet of the resplendent new Emperor, offering himself as nothing more than a footstool.

On the eve of the enthronement ceremony, Yin Chengyu bathed and burned incense. The infamous Nine Thousand Years (Jiuqian Sui) cradled the imperial robes in his arms, personally dressing the future Emperor.

In the full-length bronze mirror, the scarlet-robed Chief Eunuch of the West Bureau wrapped his arms around the Emperor-to-be, lowering his head to breathe in his scent, his voice a husky whisper laced with a mocking smile: "Your Majesty has finally achieved your ambitions. Might you grant me the chance to fulfill mine?"

But it was all a dream.

Yin Chengyu woke, yanked from the memories of his past life. It was the 17th year of Longfeng. He was still the noble and untouchable Crown Prince. His mother's family had yet to be slaughtered, and he hadn't been confined to the mausoleum, isolated and helpless. There was still a chance to change his fate-by roping in that scheming eunuch and wagering everything on one final, desperate gamble.

Then he met Xue Shu again. <<less

Song Yuexue, as an ordinary Beta, perhaps the most extraordinary thing in her life is having an Omega lover. They met in obscurity, and Song Yuexue watched as her partner rose higher and higher, eventually standing in a place beyond her reach.... more>>

She wanted to reach out, yet feared her partner might fall from the heights, so she decided to stand silently behind, quietly waiting.

Originally, they thought they had no future together, but who would have expected that at twenty-five, Song Yuexue would differentiate into an Alpha?

Beta marriages are free, but if Omegas don't marry, they'll be listed in the annual matching list and arranged with different partners until they marry. As for Alphas, as long as they're willing, they will be arranged with gentle Omega wives.

Tang Yao's fans bet that their idol would remain single this year.

Song Yuexue's family thought the same. They never cared much for male or female abos, so Song Yuexue surely wouldn't choose to apply for a partner. She would dedicate herself to her position and become a qualified doctor Song. But to everyone's surprise:

The eternal single female idol Tang Yao decided not to remain single but to get married.

As for Song Yuexue, her family didn't hold high hopes for her as a doctor, but a year after her differentiation, she successfully entered the institution of marriage.

Fans: No, I don't believe it. How could my idol, who vowed to remain single for a hundred years, get married?!

Her father, the Duke of Lennox, gifts her a necklace just as she becomes an adult.

It is a magical necklace that can tell if you are compatible even before you consummate!

Despite hearing that the necklace tells if you are sexually compatible, she, unlike her usual overflowing curiosity, has no interest in men and neglects the necklace.

However, a month later, Reina accidentally witnesses the knights she trains with bathing.

And she can’t get the image of one particular man, Sir Patrick Marionus, out of her mind.

In the end, she decides she must try the necklace.

“I want to kiss too. But, ah, don’t you think it’s still too early?”

“Those words shouldn’t come from someone who has already touched both the front and back of my lower body.”

“T-that was an accident. It wasn’t intentional.”

“Even if it was an accidental incident, do you know how hard it was to endure? …Even now, you’re being so provocative.”

Only then did Reina realize that the inside of her body, which had been covered by Patrick’s clothes, was once again exposed. It seemed she had unconsciously let go of the hand that had been holding tightly during their conversation.

Reina hurriedly tried to cover her chest, but Patrick grabbed her wrist, preventing her from doing so. She had to show him her exposed chest once again.

As Reina hesitated with her face flushed red, Patrick gave a gentle smile.

“It’s actually a good thing.”

“What do you mean by a good thing?”

Even though Miela tried to pretend that nothing was wrong, she couldn’t help but tremble in fear.

But there was something strange about this monster.

Was it really a monster?

“Hmm…… Really? Yes, you’re delicious, so I should eat you sparingly.”

The monster unexpectedly complied with Miela’s words, which she said without thinking, that it would be good to replenish her energy.

“Eat more, and when you feel more satisfied, then I’ll eat you.”

The monster suddenly held out a rabbit.

She couldn’t figure out where the rabbit came from but,

“Eat it.”

“Huh? You want me to eat this?”

“Eat it and regain your energy.”

She accepted it, but she couldn’t just eat the rabbit dripping with blood.

When Miela said that she had to cook it, the monster obediently agreed.

Thanks to the monster who listened to her better than expected(?),

Miela boldly asked for more from the monster.

“Can I just pick up one of those clothes and wear it?”

“Well……, can you give me some seasoning?”

The monster accepted any request,

and eventually Miela reached the point of refusing the monster’s offer.

“Want to eat buffalo?”

“No……. I’m tired of meat.”

“Then fruit?”

“I’m sick of fruit too…….”

“Herbs?”

“It doesn’t taste good.”

She taught the monster how to use fire, and what kind of food there is in human food, and what kind of clothes to wear, and taught him how to write, and gradually forgot that she was a sacrifice and got used to living with the monster, when an unexpected person entered the monster’s castle, and Miela was put in danger……. <<less

The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed.

However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?
