As the grandmaster of demonic cultivation, Wei Wuxian roamed the world, hated by millions for committing acts of necromancy. Overthrown by the powerful clans he had attempted to subjugate, Wei Wuxian is supposedly killed by his shidi in order to save the cultivation world. ... more>>

Restored to life in the body of Mo Xuanyu, the local cut-sleeve lunatic, in order to exact revenge on his abusive relatives, Wei Wuxian quickly finds himself spiralling back into his old life when he’s taken away by the cold-hearted, stern, and ultimately quite boring Lan Wangji – who might be harbouring warmer feelings than contempt. Perhaps of the…romantic kind?

But despite his new beginning, Wei Wuxian begins to unravel a decade and a half long mystery that is set to undo the very fabric of the cultivation world as they know it.

A mysterious, action-packed thriller of a ride, this is a journey you won’t want to miss! <<less

The protagonist of a war fantasy novel, Theo, competes with his rival and antagonist, Luke, for the position of Supreme Commander.... more>>

Having been reincarnated into Luke’s role, he struggles to fulfill his duties as the villain.

“It seems like principles as a soldier, the duties I should uphold, don’t matter to you at all.”

Even if misunderstood by Theo, Luke silently remained faithful to his role as the antagonist.

After completing all his duties, Luke successfully gave Theo his happy ending, cast aside his military uniform, and retired from the army.

Now, Luke planned to create his own future story without interference from anyone.

That was the plan, at least…

“Why go this far? I’m no longer a soldier, and if you really think about it, we were never on good terms anyway.”

To make matters worse, not only had he unexpectedly reunited with Theo, but now, Theo was persistently and seriously pressing him in a way he hadn’t imagined.

“I want to know you better.”

It was a completely incomprehensible statement, and it wasn’t even an appropriate answer to the question.

The protagonist came to the antagonist and suddenly asked for help, simply because they wanted to know him better? <<less

When he woke up, Zu Qi found himself miraculously transmigrated into a weird novel and became cannon fodder.... more>>

In the early days of that cannon fodder, he used some tricks and climbed onto the Second Male Lead’s bed. After he got pregnant, he became a rich and powerful family’s “Rich Wife”. But, in the later part, he was tortured and abandoned, and the ending was really miserable.

The only way to change that tragic ending was to prevent the Second Male Lead from falling in love with the Female Lead.

But, Zu Qi believed that he didn’t have such a great ability and charm

So, he quickly packed his luggage and with a big belly of being pregnant for more than six months….. He ran away!

**

Coming from a rich and powerful family, the big boss, Xue Jue was handsome and wealthy, and his personal life was very clean. He was rumored to have a fiancee in captivity at home and their feelings were on the verge of breaking up! Thus, countless men and women were looking forward to it, to have a chance themselves.

One day, the steward called: “Master, it’s not good! Madam left the house!”

In that afternoon, at his own holiday resort, the angry and gloomy Xue Jue found Zu Qi, who was in his swimming trunks and proudly showing off his big belly, both hands holding roasted chicken legs each and eating them with an oily mouth.

Zu Qi issued the conditions: “Give me 10 million! I promise to disappear without a trace with the child.”

Xue Jue sneered: “In your dreams!”

In the end, Zu Qi was taken back.

Zu Qi: “?????”

You should know by the name right? I am a minor villain. A villain from the open-world game called Powder of Elements.

I don’t know if I transmigrated, possessed him, or simply remembered the memories of my past life, but my life is full of death flags and fate is out to kill me.

And so, I will use the hidden mechanics of the game, the strongest builds, and knowledge of my cleared playthroughs to survive.

Well, I have the Minor Villain skill, so I will have to start by fixing my human relations first though.

Isn’t my game system the only one that’s different? <<less

To love someone deeply is to wish to imprison them with a golden lock.... more>>

When Duan Yelin first saw Xu Hang, he wanted to lock him up and hide his beauty in the golden house—in fact, he did so.

If he seized him by force, he is a robber; if he is being patient and indifferent, he will be meat in someone else's chopsticks.

Xu Hang was unwilling, but he wanted to live. There were still many things he had not done, so he finally entered Xiaotong Guan.

It's a long-standing battle.

Even after four years of entanglement, Xu Hang always seemed like a bowl of freshly brewed medicine, with a faint aroma, but only after drinking it could one know whether it was poison or antidote.

It was a long time later that Duan Yelin realized that what he had locked up was not a cold and arrogant golden sparrow but a cold and sharp golden hairpin. <<less

“Did you approach me on purpose from the beginning?”... more>>

“Must have been hard pretending to love the enemy’s daughter.”

Annette, of royal blood and the only daughter of a military general.

After two years of passionate love, she married her father's loyal subordinate, Heiner.

The happiness she thought would last forever with her wonderful and loving husband.

Everything was perfect.
Everything seemed perfect.
Until her husband's treachery caused the downfall of her family.

"I'm divorcing you, Heiner.”

"It is not granted."

“Do you still have any use left for me? My parents are dead, the monarchy has fallen. I have nothing. Your revenge is over."

“Madam, where do you intend to go to be happy?"

“...... there is nowhere I can be happy.”

Heiner stretched the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“If that's the case anyway, you'll be unhappy by my side for the rest of your life.”

Annette suddenly realized that his revenge was not over.

And that she had to break off this sickening toxic relationship with her own hands. <<less

Apocalypse descends, and an evil god awakens.... more>>

Powerful individuals awaken their abilities in the mutations, striving to resist, but their efforts seem futile.

Just as the superhumans are about to face defeat, time rewinds.

They find themselves reborn, and, united by a common goal, they begin searching for information about the evil god. Finally, they discover a sinister orphanage where the god first appeared.

To their shock, the once formidable evil god turns out to be a pitiable child named Lu Xu with blood-red eyes and snow-white rabbit ears. Lu Xu was treated as a freak by the orphanage director and bullied by other children for his unique appearance.

Despite the hardships, Lu Xu's eyes still radiate innocence and purity.

One day, a group of strangers appears, seemingly unrelated individuals who turn Lu Xu's life around. A second-generation heir reforms the orphanage and pledges to adopt him, a renowned actor with sunglasses protects him while enjoying a day at the amusement park, a classmate who used to scowl at everyone becomes overly concerned for his well-being, and a peer dubbed the "big brother" takes care of him in every possible way, knitting sweaters and baking cookies.

Lu Xu, under the care and protection of these newfound friends, begins to experience the joys of life, making his days joyful and carefree. He attends school, plays with his best friend Rong Que, and celebrates birthdays together.

Lu Xu fell in love with everyone more and more. For the first time, he felt that the world was so beautiful.

*
One day, Lu Xu forgets to bring his homework home. When he rushes back to get it, he finds a familiar group of people gathered around his best friend Rong Que at their small rental house, discussing a mission to prevent the "blackening" of the little rabbit and save the world.

The first step: Teach him how to love.

Lu Xu, who has been raised to be upright, soft and cute: 0v0?

*
In this world, perhaps no one wants to kill Lu Xu more than Rong Que. However, when he sees the child, battered yet unwilling to harm others, his heart softens.

Those blood-red pupils, always focused and admiring, seem to have a magical allure that makes Rong Que wish for their eternal clarity. <<less

Jiang Chen travels to a fantasy novel world and becomes the villainous senior brother.... more>>

He didn’t have any golden finger (cheat) and didn’t want to end up as villainous cannon fodder, so he repeated nine reincarnation cycles, only aiming to be an upright senior brother.

Yet fate is unjust, bestowing upon him the aura of a villain, causing him to suffer countless misunderstandings and disdain.

Until the ‘Tenth Life’!

In this life, Jiang Chen gave up. His heart grew cold, and he also finally let himself go.

Jiang Chen: “Since heaven wants me to be a villain, why should I defy it?”

……

My name is Jiang Lianyue, and I have a villainous senior brother who is despicable.

I despise him, detest him, and even wish he would die quickly!

But one day, I witnessed a flashback of nine lifetimes…

In the first life, my senior brother sacrificed his own core to help the second brother rebuild his core, damaging his own foundation in the process.

In the second life, I was afflicted with a cold poison, and my senior brother, with his modest cultivation, refined pills for a hundred days to cure me at the cost of destroying his own core.

In the third life, I finally understood everything… <<less

"You should be careful. I wonder what’s wrong, but she’s very angry.”
"W, what are you talking about?”
"Oh, you didn't know. The daughter, who died unfairly because of madam, is aiming for madam."

Wen Yue Sheng transmigrated into the role of a universally despised female antagonist in a novel.... more>>

Born into a noble family, yet uneducated, shallow, and foolish.

Her biological father despises her, her fiancé loathes her, and even her maternal uncle, the emperor, criticizes her for being vicious and rude.

Because she spent all her energy opposing the beloved female protagonist, she became hated by everyone.

In the end, she was abandoned by all, shot by the male lead with an arrow, and left dead on the desolate wilderness.

When Wen Yue Sheng transmigrated into the body of the original character, the original had already gained a notorious reputation, with everyone wanting her gone.

Wen Yue Sheng remained calm about this.

On the first day after her transmigration, she placed a golden Buddha statue into the mansion.

Everyone thought that she had finally realized her faults and was ready to live a simple life, eating vegetarian food and praying to atone for her past mistakes.

What they didn’t know was that Wen Yue Sheng came from the apocalypse.

Before becoming Wen Yue Sheng, she was known only by a codename—‘Killer God No. 7.’

She was a powerful weapon in the post-apocalyptic world, and believing in Buddhism was simply a way to suppress her mu*derous instincts.

There were 9,999 test subjects in the apocalypse, and by the time the zombies were eradicated, only No. 7 remained. Thus, she was given the name Killer God No. 7. <<less

Sue Byron's Heart-Throbbing Academy Life... more>>

I got reincarnated as a character in a romance fantasy novel.

And the character I'm stuck with is none other than 'Sue Byron, Viscount Chiqmefriar's daughter'.

Sue is the worst villainess in history...

...or rather, she's the worst kind of third-rate villain, a complete lackey with the worst personality!

She's the epitome of unlikeable with absolutely no charm!

She spends her days causing trouble and being a nuisance until she eventually meets a meaningless end as the villainess's scapegoat.

You could say she's a ridiculously pathetic character.

Not to mention, her presence becomes so faint midway through that she's not even remembered by anyone. That says it all.

Out of all the characters, I'm stuck with this one... Well, I guess I have to live until I die, right?

"Miss Vercia. Aren't you being a bit too close to Master Fritz?"

There are countless times when I just want to cover my mouth, close my eyes, and shut my ears, but... Fighting, Sue Byron! <<less

Best Actor Pei Lang transmigrates into a BL novel and becomes a loathsome, reckless cannon fodder despised by everyone. The original owner of the body went to great lengths to seduce the male lead, but unfortunately, the male lead’s heart and eyes were solely reserved for the protagonist shou. To get closer to the male lead, he marries the male lead’s disabled uncle, becoming his contractual spouse.... more>>

Before the scammy system disappears, it leaves behind a useless golden finger. Looking at the surface cold and ruthless but inwardly childish and lively tycoon before him, Pei Lang roars: “Uncle, could your inner drama be any more over the top!?”

Later, the previously hated and scorned cannon fodder transforms. He chops off his wolf-tail hairstyle, ditches the tacky deep V-neck shirts, and wipes away the gaudy makeup. Now, every smile and glance can steal hearts. He can sing, act, and make the whole internet adore him—including the male lead, who had once stepped on him to establish his image as devoted and faithful.

A certain male protagonist: Xiao Lang, be with me. I know you still like me; otherwise, why would you have gone out of your way to get close to my uncle?

Pei Lang with a smirk: Since you’re on Pei Ziqing’s side, you should call me ‘Big Brother’. Following your uncle, I’m still your elder. Nephew, please show some respect.

The uncle is a childish man who stubbornly maintains his cold and domineering persona, loyal, protective, and wealthy—but terrible at pursuing people.

One Day, the cold-faced tycoon drives his wheelchair, his gaze locked like a predator’s, cornering Pei Lang. His hand slams onto the wall near Pei Lang’s waist.

Pei Lang looks down at the awkward and stiff-faced tycoon in disbelief. “What... are you doing?”

“Can’t you tell? I’m doing a wall slam.” The tycoon roars inwardly: The guides in novels are all lies! Sitting in a wheelchair, I can’t even trap someone in my arms properly. I’m suing the author!

“Wall... slam!?” Pei Lang is dumbfounded, his lips twitching as he glances at the hand pressed against his waist and subtly shifts his body. <<less

Liv Hamelsvoort, who bears the label of the ‘Fake Saintess’ and is the laughingstock of high society for her unrequited love for Duke Lartman. No one could understand her, but she likewise couldn’t understand them.... more>>

There was a world that ordinary humans couldn’t dare to comprehend.

“Who harmed my child?”

“Does my child not exist in this world?”

“I don’t need a world where the child I love doesn’t exist.”

The moment the enormous things she had been bearing were revealed, Liv’s life finally began to change.

“I will love you in any timeline, Your Grace.”

Liv was content as long as she could continue loving. But if she wanted to protect that love, she had to change; the world was whispering that to her. <<less

Yun Ling was a humble little palace maid.... more>>

She had a secret: she knew that the Sixth Prince, currently confined to the Cold Palace, was destined to be the future Crown Prince.

To avoid misfortune, she volunteered to take care of him in the Cold Palace.

The Sixth Prince, Xie Jue, was cruel, ruthless, and possessed a violent temper. He was suspicious and guarded towards her, constantly mocking and threatening her.

But no matter how he treated her, Yun Ling remained by his side, diligently serving him without complaint.

“What do you want?” he asked coldly.

Yun Ling gently coaxed, “I only wish for Your Highness’s well-being. Your Highness’s wishes are also my wishes.”

Xie Jue scoffed, “A lowly person, using sweet words to deceive.”

Yun Ling didn’t mind. She continued to care for him with utmost devotion and consideration.

When he ascended to the East Palace, becoming the heir apparent, second only to the Emperor, she used his influence to escape her own misfortune and seek revenge. Then, she vanished without a trace in a blaze of fire.

—

Zezhou, thousands of miles away from the capital.

Yun Ling worked as a female tutor, teaching court etiquette to the daughter of a minor official.

Hearing that a carefree Prince had arrived from the capital, Yun Ling feared being recognized and wrote a letter to resign.

But she was informed that the Prince was merely passing through and had already left, and she was asked to continue teaching.

A young servant led Yun Ling to the courtyard. As she pushed open the door, a blizzard swept in, covering the standing man with a blanket of silver.

His face was cold and stern, radiating an aura of frost. He approached her step by step,

“For three whole years, I’ve finally found you.”

…

In the dim room,

Yun Ling knew his cold and unforgiving nature, his intolerance of deceit. She slowly closed her eyes, awaiting his judgment of life or death.

In the silence,

Xie Jue leaned down and held her in his arms, his grip as if he wanted to crush her. His eyes were red-rimmed, his voice low and fierce,

“I’ll make you my Crown Princess. Don’t run away again, or I really will strangle you.”

“I should have killed you.”... more>>

Duchess Cardius has died. The cause of death was poisoning.

It was a death that did not suit her epithet as a witch of poison.

At her funeral,

Her husband, Lahart, recited his marriage vows without blinking an eye.

In fact, he had not said a word at their wedding.

“I will not allow even death to break our vows and take you away from me.”

The name he loved most in the world, is now a name more cursed than anyone else’s.

“Irelaide.”

Lahart couldn’t even imagine it.

His own wife, who was laid in the coffin by his own hands,

Was watching him from among the mourners.

“…You killed our child.”

“Irene, that’s what you said back then.”

“I lied to you. Just like what you did.”

Irene wiped the blood flowing from her child’s lips with a handkerchief.

Lahart felt that something was wrong as he looked at her trembling hand and lips.

“…It’s your child.”

Irene hugged the limp Rian and sobbed out a voice mixed with tears.

“Rian is your child. You killed our child. Twice.” <<less

Shen Yu was an omega who was diagnosed with intellectual disability at birth. Therefore, the Shen family had their housekeeper take him to live in the suburbs soon after he was born, and from then on they announced to the public that they only had one son, his brother.... more>>

Just because he and his twin brother had the same face, the kidnappers who were supposed to kidnap him mistook him for his brother who came to see him that day.

The Shen family concealed the fact that his brother was dead or alive, and in order to maintain the marriage with the Gu family, they took Shen Yu back to the Shen family and married him to Gu Yingyi in place of his brother.

Little did he know that his brother had already been the apple of Gu Yingyi’s eye and he could not get him at first sight, and Shen Yu was just a drop of mosquito blood that killed his brother.

“Why weren’t you the one who died?”

“You don’t deserve to have a face that looks exactly like him. It makes me sick.”

“A fool will give birth to a fool, so I might as well beat him for you.”

“It’s just a toy, play with it if you want.”

Shen Yu trembled and begged Gu Yingyi not to give him to someone else, but Gu Yingyi just coldly lifted his chin with his leather shoe and said cruelly: “Shen Yu, you owe him all this.” <<less

On the day his long-time unrequited love ended, not only did he die in an accident, but he was also transmigrated.... more>>

When he regained consciousness, he found himself pregnant and on the edge of miscarriage.

It just so happened that the world he had been transmigrated to was the setting of a makjang drama, "The Well-raised Omega Son," written by his older brother.

To make matters worse, the time given was one year.

Although he was given the opportunity to achieve the unrequited love he had failed to attain in reality, he decided to protect the baby growing inside him instead.

The attention of the main couple was constantly focusing on Ji-an, and for some reason, Jeong Hee-seo, who is both the ultimate villain and the child's father, acts affectionately.

After gaining awareness, Ye Jishu realizes he is just a passerby in a harem novel where the protagonist shou is a magnet for obsessive lovers. ... more>>

This novel has Gong 1, Gong 2, Gong 3... and the list goes on, each of them seemingly infected with madness, falling deeply and uncontrollably in love with the protagonist shou.

Constantly showing concern, forcing possession, secretly stalking... Every flavor of obsession is covered.

Yet, Ye Jishu isn’t even one of these cannon-fodder gongs. He’s just a spicy little plot device thrown into the tangled web of messy love triangles and polyamorous relationships.

His entire existence serves one purpose: for the protagonist shou to coldly say, while facing all the gongs vying for him, “He’s my boyfriend.”

Such an enticing and manipulative statement, spicing things up just a little more.

For Ye Jishu, this was a doorway to a whole new world.

According to the original plot, his role was:

When Gong 1 shows up, he conveniently goes to get water, leaving the two some private space;

When Gong 2 arrives, he pretends to look for something, giving them time to exchange glances;

When Gong 3 comes, he closes his eyes and pretends to sleep, giving them a chance for some dramatic tension...

He thought this was all he had to do.

But one late night, unexpectedly, the protagonist shou suddenly pins him down on the bed, snuggling against his neck, voice low and heavy:

"Jishu, why don’t you care about the people getting close to me? It’s obvious they all have ulterior motives, yet you don’t get jealous at all—"

"Heh, of course, I don’t really care what you think either. After all, humans are just food, and you’re nothing more than a tool I’m using..."

"...Hmm? Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you planning to ignore me again, leave me alone, and focus on someone else? Ridiculous. As if I’d actually care. This is getting old."

"……………"

"Uh-oh, how troublesome, what a mess. What should I do? I don’t want this, but now that things have reached this point, you’ll just have to always keep your eyes on me from now on. Otherwise, I might end up eating you too. What do you think about that, Jishu?"

His tone was coaxing, his face dazzlingly beautiful.

His ink-black eyes were filled with dark, insane possessiveness.

Seeing the tent**les sprouting from the protagonist shou’s body, and the black mist swirling around him, Ye Jishu’s heart raced at five hundred miles per hour, jumping to full throttle, his eyelids twitching furiously.

What is this? So scary, so terrifying, ahhhh!
