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

The Marquis Yunyang was deposed by the Emperor and his family ended up in dire straits overnight. As such, the Third Miss of the Shen Household, her family’s most precious jewel, found herself abandoned by all with a sick brother on her hands. Having no other choice, she set up a cosmetics shop in Chang’an.... more>>

But to the eyes of all, especially her relatives’, she had become nothing but an alluring flower any man could pick at will.

Passing by her Baixiang Pavilion, the heir to the Grand Duchy of Zhen, Lu Yan, witnessed her being harassed by the idle sons of Chang’an’s leading class. Her appearance reminded him of dreams that had been plaguing him lately, revealing to him a past with her and the sultry love affair they had shared in a previous life.

With shaking fingers, he also remembered the bitter taste of heartbreak when she left him to marry another man.

Thus, in this life, he decided to save her once more, lure her into an affair, install her as his mistress and never let her escape his sphere of influence again.

However, to keep Shen Zhen by his side, finding her a place to stay and caring for her brother was not enough. Little did Lu Yan know he would be pulled into the darkest corners of Chang’an and take part in games of power that at times implicated the Main Gentleman of the Empire, the Emperor himself. Selling what he held dearest in the process: his integrity as an official.

All for the sake of Chang’an’s First Beauty. <<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!"

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

Qin Ran’s muse died, and so did his art. Running out of inspiration, he accidentally stumbled into a mysterious mountain village after a car accident, where he met a blindfolded beauty with a face as cold as ice, and was captivated by him at first sight. ... more>>

“Ranran, didn’t you say you wouldn’t abandon me?”

Golden Family Siblings Obsession

Advance party here. The male lead is completely obsessed and the female lead is utterly pitiful.

A regret-free, obsessive, imprisonment tr*sh can yummy (⋆ˆ ³ ˆ)♥

What on earth is an advance party, and what do male lead and female lead mean?

I was bewildered, wondering if I had gone mad, but I had to accept it.

This was clearly a conversation between gods revealing future events.

Based on that information, I dumped my cheating s*umbag fiancé and succeeded in business.

I thought I only had a smooth road ahead of me, but…

Junk cars go to the scrapyard

The biggest junk in this novel wasn’t even the story, it was the author

My life reading this far is legendary

Without warning, the world ended, and I even regressed back to childhood?

▶Preview

The world ended without warning.

When I came to my senses, I was on the bed in my room.

“Life… why does it only do this to me!”

After a long time eavesdropping on the gods’ conversations, I realized the end of the world was related to the female and male leads. The problem is, I have no idea who they are. I don’t know their names or what they look like. I only knew the male lead was a superpowered blind man.

So I worked really hard and supported those with superpowers.

In my past life and the life before that too. I always did my best to make choices that would benefit the world.

‘Please just keep the world safe.’

I didn’t ask for much. As long as the world could be safe, I didn’t mind giving them money until the moment I died. I worked like a dog to support them, but… what I got in return was cold betrayal.

What more could I possibly do here?

‘If I only knew what happened, I could try to stop it somehow.’

Despite pouring in so much money, I couldn’t even see a hair on the heads of those with superpowers. So I had no way of knowing what they did on that final day.

“After I gave you all that money… you couldn’t even grant one of my wishes? You useless bastards!” <<less

The line between good and evil was drawn long ago. Li Xun is about to burn it down.... more>>

Born into power and privilege as the heir of the noble Prince Fu, Li Xun should have lived a life of ease. Instead, thanks to his elders' reckless obsession with immortality, he was thrust headfirst into a nightmare—one where right and wrong blur, and survival depends on navigating the razor-thin line between both.

Living in the cracks, extremely cautious and fearful, this eight-year-old's heart is no longer innocent. While enduring threats from all sides, he must also bear the rules of a life-and-death game!

Trapped in an endless spiral of nightmares and the harshest of trials, Li Xun’s journey is no fairytale. It’s a brutal test of will, wit, and strength.

But maybe—just maybe—he’ll find a way to turn the game on its head. To carve his own path between righteousness and evil. To uncover the hidden truth behind the so-called righteous path… and the forbidden path to immortality that lies beneath it.

The world wants him to choose a side. He’ll choose his own. <<less

At first, she thought it would be an easy life since she was reborn into a noble zaibatsu family, but as she recalled her memories, she realized this world might actually be a recreation of an otome game she knew well.

On top of that, the body she reincarnated into was that of the classic ‘Villainess’.

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

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.

Yan Shixun had roamed far and wide, making a modest living by helping people exorcise ghosts and dispel evil spirits. He enjoyed a carefree life doing odd jobs for a little extra cash.... more>>

However, just when he was living his life on his own terms, his rich third-generation friend who was shooting a variety show couldn’t find enough artists to participate and cried out, “Brother Yan, if you don’t come, I’ll die here!”

Yan Shixun: “…”

He looked at the amount his friend was offering and reluctantly agreed.

As a result, Yan Shixun unexpectedly became an internet sensation!

In the travel variety show that eliminates the worst performance guest, a haunted villa in the woods echoed with ghostly cries at midnight, vengeful spirits surrounded and threatened the guests. Possessed by eerie creatures in a desolate mountain temple, the entire team of artists was on the brink of danger. Sinister forces in rural villages harnessed dark sorcery to deceive and ensnare…

As the viewers watched the travel variety show transform into a horror show, they were shocked and screamed in horror. Yet, amidst this, Yan Shixun remained composed, a gentleman with an extraordinary presence.

Yan Shixun plucked a leaf and turned it into a sword, piercing through the evil spirit’s chest. With a burning yellow talisman in hand, he forced the malevolent entity to flee in panic. With a single command, he sent the Ten Yama Kings quaking, instilling fear in the Yin officers.

The audience stared in astonishment.

However, Yan Shixun calmly dealt with the ghosts and spirits while confidently explaining to the camera with a disdainful expression.

He looked pessimistic and said, “Read more, believe in superstitions less. What ghosts? Everything is science.”

The enlightened audience: This man is amazing! Master, I have awakened.

The audience went crazy with their votes, and Yan Shixun’s popularity soared.

Yan Shixun, who originally thought he would be eliminated in a few days: Miscalculated!

As they watched the live broadcast of Yan Shixun becoming increasingly indifferent, cynical, and wanting to be eliminated, the audience became even more excited: Is there anything more attractive than an idol who promotes science with a touch of mystique? All major companies, please sign him and let him debut!

For a while, Yan Shixun’s name became a sensation on the internet, and entertainment industry giants and influential fortune tellers came knocking at his door.

Yan Shixun sighed deeply: “I won’t debut! I won’t date or build a fanbase! Just leave me alone; all I want is to exorcise ghosts in peace!”

A certain bigshot from the ghost world wrapped his arm around Yan Shixun’s waist from behind: You can consider dating… me.

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.”
