People keep assuming I’m some kind of evil mastermind.... more>>

But seriously, I’m just a son-in-law freeloading off my noble wife’s family.

The fourth prince, Pei Yuan, was convicted overnight, falling from the title of the infamous King of Jibei to a paralyzed cripple.... more>>

The Duke of Rong’s household was unwilling to marry off their legitimate daughter, so the unloved Bao Ning was sent as a substitute bride.

The fourth prince's residence was nothing more than a broken-down courtyard on the capital's outskirts, covered in cobwebs and deserted. Pei Yuan, with a crippled leg, lay on the bed, filthy all over, glaring at her coldly with eyes full of vigilance and disgust.

Bao Ning, however, was delighted. Here, there were no scheming sisters or harsh mistresses. She could do whatever she wanted—raising chickens, planting vegetables and the two could live well enough.

As for this seemingly difficult-to-get-along-with disabled husband...

Bao Ning squatted beside Pei Yuan with a bowl of rice, looking at him eagerly. “I gave you all the meat. You should be a little nicer to me.”

In the struggle for the throne, the brothers turned against each other, and in one scheme, Pei Yuan was severely injured.

When he lay in bed with a crippled leg, he thought his life was over.

Unexpectedly, his newly married little wife suddenly broke into his life, fragrant and smiling, like a beam of light piercing through the mist.

How could he bear to only treat her a little better?

At their wedding, the dowry consisted of only three sacks of millet. Now, he offers the kingdom itself, just to make her smile.

Main characters: Ji Bao Ning and Pei Yuan

Warnings:

The female lead is gentle and cute, skilled in cooking and crafting, with no scheming, and not a "strong woman" type.

The male lead can recover.

The male lead has a rugged, bandit-like personality, not a gentle-type prince. <<less

“When you fall from a high place, there is no one to catch, let alone pick you up.”... more>>

Rei understood this best when her family fell from glory straight into the gutter. She understood her value better, when she was chased out of her own house- she was nothing. At the moment she was about to crumble, she looked at her older brother standing by her.

She was not alone. Not all was lost…

In the hopes of rekindling an old connection and start afresh, the path the siblings took led them to a quiet countryside.

A resplendent castle covered in beautiful red roses… so majestic… so sinister…

It also looked like… a lonely abode shrouded in desolation?

And there, she met someone; it seems he was…

… a beast. <<less

Chen Cheng, the youngest Nobel laureate, has been reborn through time travel. ... more>>

In this life, he is reborn as a royal infant. Originally, he thought he could enjoy a luxurious life using his princely identity, but unexpectedly, this identity makes him a target of public outrage.

The destruction of civilization, the victor's anthem... Let's see how a prince, whose country is ruined and whose family is destroyed, and who is reviled by everyone, makes a comeback and composes a great anthem of civilization for the world.

***

The chilling wind howled through the desolate mountain passes, a stark contrast to the bright future Chen Cheng had envisioned.

Only moments ago, he was accepting a Nobel Prize for his groundbreaking work in controlled nuclear fusion, a beacon of hope for humanity. Now, a victim of a freak accident, he awakens in a world of magic, a mere infant with the memories of a life dedicated to science.

Reborn as Chen Cheng, a s*ave in the land of Hudun, his former brilliance is now a dangerous secret, his identity a burden. Yet, even in this unfamiliar world, the scientist in him stirs.

He sees the nascent magic, not as divine miracles, but as an untapped field of science, a challenge to his intellect.

With the guidance of Sam Rete, a loyal protector from a fallen empire, and the unexpected kindness of the young noble Finielle, Chen Cheng embarks on a journey to unravel the mysteries of magic, challenge the established order, and perhaps, rewrite the laws of this new reality. <<less

What to do when she's favoring handsome men and suddenly learns of national ruin and family destruction, becoming a Fallen Princess?... more>>

Xiang Ying stated that, of course, she would immediately utilize her Space to empty out the Imperial Palace, leaving not a single thing for the enemy army!

As the captain of an apocalypse infrastructure team, she transmigrated into a book due to an explosion.

The enemy army invaded the Imperial Palace, a famine year was approaching, and she was surrounded and became a prisoner, also with three children.

Facing such a catastrophic start, Xiang Ying exclaimed, "Good days are coming!"

Compared to the apocalypse, what is this?

On the road to exile, while others suffered hardships, she enjoyed herself; everyone else gnawed on steamed bread when hungry, but Xiang Ying and her children ate well and drank well.

Everyone else grew thinner and thinner, only her three children remained chubby and fair-skinned, holding their bellies and frantically waving their hands: "Mother, we can't eat anymore, we really can't!"

Xiang Ying held hot pot, milk tea, and large plate chicken, enjoying the scenery on the road to exile, fleeing and hoarding supplies all the way, her life becoming more and more flavorful.

The villainess supporting character laughed at her: "What's the use of just having grain? You're still a s*ave of a fallen nation!"

Xiang Ying immediately pulled out the Imperial Seal: "You're right. From today onwards, I want to be Empress."

The enemy army was dumbfounded; she hadn't said that the 300,000 vagrants she brought were elite soldiers!

*

On the day Xiang Ying restored the kingdom, the man who had accompanied her through all her hardships took her hand.

Xie Chen: "For the sake of the three children, can you give me a proper status now?"

Xiang Ying: "Men should be dutiful, don't ask for a title."

Xie Chen: "...The kingdom as a betrothal gift, my Imperial Seal, my country, all for you."

Xiang Ying: "Deal! Wedding night tonight!" <<less

Sasha, the sixth imperial princess, is preparing a coup against her tyrannical father.

She encounters Regen, the prince of an enemy nation—and her first love—who has been taken captive. She offers him an undeniable contract:

In exchange for restoring his power, he must pledge loyalty as her knight.

And together, they must survive the brutal Imperial Succession Contest—a deadly game orchestrated by a mad emperor who seeks to kill his own daughters.

---

"You saved my life, Sasha. How should I repay you?"

"No repayment is necessary."

"Why not?"

Just live. Stay by my side. That alone is enough of a battle.

But she couldn’t reveal her still-burning love.

So instead, she told a lie—hiding behind the memory of one of the sixty-seven brothers who had perished.

"Because... you resemble my dead brother."

---

"Shall I undress you?"

Come to think of it, this made sense.

If I am to take responsibility, I should do this with my own hands.

"…Ha, Sasha."

Regen let out a long breath—whether a sigh or a groan, she couldn't tell.

He watched her in silence before suddenly lifting her crystal glass from the table and pressing it to his lips.

A murmur laced with curiosity brushed against her ears.

"It really is non-alcoholic."

Raven Griffiths—a scoundrel, a degenerate, a s*ave to lust, and the last surviving heir of a baronial family...... more>>

And he was about to become the blood sacrifice for a ritual.

With no way back, he could only charge forward, relying on his calm and cunning to break free from certain death.

But the real crisis was only just beginning.

Greedy nobles, corrupt officials, a rigid Church, savage foreign races, and ruthless cults—fate was baring its ferocious fangs at Raven.

He had no choice but to rely on the knowledge and intellect brought from Blue Star, along with the instincts and experience ingrained in this body, to amass wealth, expand his territory, and build his power—crushing crisis after crisis that loomed on the horizon.

From baron, to viscount, to count, marquis, duke, and ultimately—king!

…

Years later, “Queen Collector, Imperial Marquis of the Elven Empire, Khan of the Glorious Orcs, Conqueror of the Bloodsoaked Highlands, Sovereign of Continent and Sea, Protector of All Living Beings, the Living God” Raven sat upon his throne, clad in armor and solemnly declared:

“Many claim I seized the crown through madness, shamelessness, deceit, and cunning.

But that is utter slander!

Everything I have achieved came from the wisdom, nobility, elegance, and mercy that run in my very blood!”

…

The tides of history can never be judged by mere right or wrong.

There are blades glinting beneath soft silk, betrayals lurking behind shifting clouds, and grand performances hidden within layers of scheming!

mu*der etched upon the face, mercy kept in the heart—and in the end, fate left to the heavens.

“H-huk… W-wait, Duke. This is a misunderstanding…”

“Why are you so embarrassed? Our first night already passed. The day you devoured me and ran away.”

“It’s a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding. I… I’ll explain…!”

Despite neither being in a state to properly converse, their conversation strangely continues.

“No… it’s not. It was a mistake… Kyaaak!”

“A mistake? A mistake? You call that a mistake?”

Her desperate attempts to escape are thwarted. Drushia pins her down, refusing to let go.

Felyn transmigrated into the body of a fallen noble, burdened with millions in debt. To survive, he faced a choice: become a hero in a different world or live off as gigolo. He chose to be gigolo.... more>>

Felyn rents himself out to aristocratic young ladies with psychological issues, role-playing according to their demands, meticulously caring for their lives, and providing emotional value. He is a dog licker admirer for a cold maiden, a punching bag for a perfect student council president, a lover for a rational divine heir, a master for a wealthy dragon merchant’s daughter, and a brother to a princess. His clients also include a popular songstress, a witch, and others.

Felyn just wants to do his job well, save enough money to buy a manor, and hire maids. Once the contracts end, he plans to leave these troubled young ladies behind. But when the contracts do expire, the ladies seem utterly unable to let him go. They all want to take him home and shower him with affection.

Felyn: "Ladies, once the contract is over and the payment is made, we’re done. Don't confess one by one, don't think about getting it for free." <<less

Velakshina, a villainess infamous for her wicked deeds, falls from grace alongside her family's downfall and is reduced to a s*ave.

Just standing in the s*ave market as a disgraced, wretched being makes her want to die. Yet her so-called "master" dares to say this masterpiece of a line:

"Your purpose is to share my bed, conceive my child, and give birth."

'Yup. My life is over.'

Among all the bad endings fit for a villainess, this surely must be the worst of the worst…

Or so she thought.

"Oat biscuits made from the oats we use for horse feed would probably be better than this."

"How could you even think of dressing me in a second-hand gown?"

"If you repeat the same mistake, consider yourself due for a whipping!"

'The more I act out, the worse things should get…'

Your teeth are impressively strong! I watched you bite right through that tough biscuit!

“This is why my heart is restless. Let’s try a little harder, empress.”

Ysaris, the princess of a small country.
She was forced to marry the Emperor who killed her fiancé.

She could not refuse. The fate of her homeland was at stake.

“Do you still not understand your place? You are nothing more than a spoil of war. My trophy.”

A bed shared with an enemy. Unnatural obsession and distrust. Arrogant and oppressive demeanor. Blatant disregard and cold treatment.

Enduring all of this, she lived on with difficulty…

“Rather than seeing an heir from that woman, it might be better to kill her right now.”

Ysaris overheard these terrible words from her husband.

Now, there was only one choice left for her.

‘I have to run away.’

Even if just for the sake of her unborn child. <<less

In a country where magic is everything, especially in a kingdom where everything is determined by the ability of ‘bloodline magic’ that only nobles are born with. Hermes, who was born as the second son of a certain noble family, was found to be a “failure” with no bloodline magic despite his high magical talent, and was exiled from the family. Hermes was almost killed in the depths of his disappointment, but then he was picked up by Rose, a “witch” he met, who saw his talent and made him her apprentice.

After five years of training, he returns to King’s Landing with the most powerful magic of all – the ability to recreate all magic – and learns all kinds of magic he never knew he could. He corrects the wrong thinking spreading in the kingdom, saves his childhood friends who suffer from magic, destroys the incompetent position of the bloodline magic-dependent people who banished him, and eventually makes a name for himself as the savior of the kingdom. <<less

Lowly shepherd. Illegitimate daughter. Disgraceful duchess.... more>>

Although she had married her beloved Duke Izar, Freesia lived as though she was trapped at the bottom of a bleak, hapless abyss.

Her family took complete advantage of her, and the people of the duchy hated her for being a stain on the household’s honor.

And then there was her husband, Izar.

Even after she had suffered a miscarriage, he remained cold.

“To be born to parents like us—happiness would forever elude that child.”

At Freesia’s funeral, he had shed not a single tear.

But Freesia wished for one last thing.

Please, cry for me.

Shed even a single tear.

Dearly, I hope that your feelings might change.

Even if it means living for just one more year, that’s fine.

Once that time has passed, then.

Come and cry at my funeral.

For the first time, Freesia dared to glare at this man.

The dreadful document in her hand fell to the ground.
