[The Infinite Regression Genre] ... more>>

Look in any fantasy novel, and you’ll find that regression is a guaranteed cheat code!

But what about the ability of Infinite Regression?

There’d be no need to worry about bad endings, not when the protagonist can simply reset to reach that eventual happy ending.

“Cheat code, my ass.”

I tried it myself just to find out otherwise.

The myths of regressors’ successes depicted in all those novels are actually fake…

It was all just vile propaganda!

“This run is doomed too.”

This is not a story of success. It’s a tale of the aftermath of failures.

Thus begins the heartfelt biography of a man with 1,183 runs of experience! <<less

Next door.

Fu Chengque looked at her golden finger and felt extremely puffed up! She wrote hastily: “I, the future empress, the superhuman, the destined deity Fu Chengque, am recruiting talents! Help friends regardless of reason, sign up quickly!”

But her tasks were not only related to her childhood sweetheart Wen Yu, but each one was super difficult!

【Make Wen Yu say “But I like it.”】

【Have a candlelight dinner with Wen Yu.】

【Whisper to Wen Yu for ten minutes.】

She’s just a girl, not a lover. How could she possibly complete them!

What’s absurd is that, although things didn’t go as expected, she still completed them all!

Ye Zhou finally managed to save enough money to open a large supermarket, but when he was about to showcase his skills, he realized that he might have a mental illness.... more>>

——Every morning the supermarket opened, a different scenery laid beyond its doors.

One day it’s a doomsday wasteland.

Or it’s a war-torn dynasty where the poverty-stricken common folk ate soil and tree bark.

Or it’s a sewage-strewn environment, and as soon as you look up, you can see a medieval castle.

Or it’s a world full of all kinds of magical creatures, but ordinary people struggled to survive there.

When Jiang Tingzhou is reborn, the first two things he does are: quit his job and break up immediately.... more>>

In his past life, after being lost at age five and then found again by the Jiang family—a family famous for their culinary legacy—he spent nearly half his life fighting against Jiang You, the adopted child who had taken his place. This false young master was deeply favored by fate, as if born under a halo of divine luck.

Jiang Tingzhou worked himself to the bone, fighting tooth and nail to prove that this little green tea (pretentious schemer) was inferior to him in every way.

He won the prestigious God of Cooking competition.

He brought Jiang Group’s restaurant chain to new heights.

Even the person Jiang You longed for but could never have fell in love with Jiang Tingzhou instead.

He poured every ounce of effort into proving that Jiang You wasn’t naturally worthy of love or admiration—there was no “main character aura.” As long as you worked hard enough, anything could be changed. He believed everyone should prefer him.

But in the end, his parents called him aggressive, his old friends drifted away, his coworkers talked behind his back about how cold and unapproachable he was, and the lover he’d forced to stay eventually left him.

Only his career had turned out well.

Yet just as he began to taste success, Jiang Tingzhou died from overwork. All he could do was watch helplessly as Jiang You played the part of a tragic, returning white moonlight and smoothly inherited everything he had built.

Then he found himself reborn—back at twenty-two, sick with a fever, still working nonstop, and being gaslit and bullied by his boss.

Wait a second… who even wants to be reborn?!

Jiang Tingzhou: [Dead fish eyes] .jpg

He’s officially given up on his luckless life. Deep down, he realizes that being reborn means nothing. Nothing he does ends well. No matter how hard he fights, it’s all for nothing. What’s the point of grinding if the end result is just emptiness?

Love, money, success—it’s all external. The only thing that’s truly yours is your body.

So he finds a quiet place to lie flat and gives up. All he wants now is three good meals a day. To eat well and live peacefully.

But strangely enough, once Jiang Tingzhou stops trying, people around him start to regret things. It’s like everyone suddenly starts liking him again.

Later, he even goes viral as the internet’s most desirable food vlogger?

From the Gong’s POV:

Lu Baiyu went through a breakup that felt like falling off a cliff.

In their chat history, Jiang Tingzhou had always been the one sending dozens of messages, chatting nonstop in a sweet, clingy way.

“Hubby, miss you ❤️”

“Dreamed about you last night, I really really want to see you.”

“I made a new dish!”

“[Photo] ”

“When are you coming back to Yongqing? I want to cook for you.”

Lu Baiyu had been away on a business trip, working nonstop. He saw the messages but didn’t have time to reply—he was used to it.

Then, after finishing an international meeting, he opened his phone and saw a new message from Jiang Tingzhou:

“Hi. We’re breaking up. Bye.”

Lu Baiyu: …?

He sent a question mark.

But the chat showed a red exclamation mark.

Just like that, he was blocked—out of nowhere.

Pairing:

Former top achiever turned slacker culinary genius shou × aloof iceberg-type gong who goes feral when he loses his lover

Notes:

Rebirth, shou is a former overachiever who now lies flat; gong is a “white-cut-black” (appears pure, actually ruthless) top who’s been in love with the shou across both lives.

Plot-heavy with dramatic emotional lines. Career storyline takes up a good portion. The gong’s memories of his past life will gradually return. There are lots of misunderstandings, so expect some intense “chasing the wife back from the crematorium” drama. And yes—the crematorium part is serious.

The shou seems universally disliked, but is actually a total heartthrob. <<less

Synopsis:... more>>

Since childhood, Jian Jianan has been a money enthusiast. She knew how important money was—it could ensure she and her brother completed their education, earned respect, and allowed the family to live a comfortable life.

So, on the day she was about to come of age, when her father asked what had helped her the most, Jian Jianan firmly replied, "Money."

Her father was stunned, and her mother gently guided her: "We’ve come this far because of hard work, determination, and..."

Both parents looked at her expectantly.

Jian Jianan suddenly understood their deeper meaning and declared without hesitation: "And more and more money!"

The couple fell silent, lost in deep reflection.

Her money-loving tendencies had been evident for a long time.

In elementary school, when she noticed everyone drooling over her lunch, Jian Jianan immediately launched a monthly and yearly meal subscription service, earning a commission while bringing business to her family’s small restaurant.

In middle school, the complete set of comic books her parents bought her sparked a trend, causing a sensation at school. Jian Jianan quickly started renting them out—each book rented meant more money rolling in.

In high school, her parents felt this couldn’t go on; she was spending too little time studying. They decided to issue "business tickets"—she could only participate in the family business if she studied for 8 hours a day and earned tickets monthly.

Jian Jianan promptly introduced a loan guarantee system, mortgaging her ideas to her parents and getting her highly trustworthy childhood friend Shan Jiqing to act as a guarantor. Ten business tickets a day became a reality, and life went on as usual.

Her parents exchanged glances. Well, maybe pushing themselves was better than pushing their daughter.

By the time Jian Jianan entered university, her family had built a catering empire that sold across provinces, thanks to her mother, and a nationally renowned clothing brand, thanks to her father.

And she was the sole heir.

But little did she know, this was far from the end.

"You need to study hard in university, learn professional skills, and inherit your parents’ businesses, understand?"

Jian Jianan shook her head and refused: "No, I want to..."

Oh no! The sole heir is refusing to inherit the family business! Are these two companies doomed?

Brothers, grab your tools and get ready!

As days passed, those waiting to profit from the downfall of these companies didn’t see them collapse. Instead, they watched as Jian Jianan’s own ventures grew larger and more numerous.

Huh?

Are you kidding me?

Jian Jianan sincerely explained: "I hadn’t even finished speaking. Don’t you know it’s bad luck to pop champagne halfway through in business?"

"I only said I wanted to start my own business first, not that I’d abandon the family business!"

As the tides of the times surged forward, Jian Jianan seized opportunities, riding the waves and setting her sails high.

When the floodwaters receded, she intended to be the one left standing.

In a desperate attempt to save the world, the male protagonist loses his comrades one by one, eventually succumbing to destruction in a bleak fantasy novel.... more>>

I found myself transmigrated into this story as the villainous princess, known for her excessively innocent mind. Obsessed with the male protagonist, I cause chaos and eventually die during a monster attack, tarnishing the reputation of the knight order the protagonist belongs to.

‘Wow, these knights are more like a bunch of mercenaries than a noble order!”

I exclaimed in disbelief, surveying the disheveled knights before me.

“Gentlemen, did you sign a proper employment contract? What about overtime pay? Compensation in case of accidents? Medical support for mental stress and physical injuries?”

“Um… why are you asking this all of a sudden, Princess?”

The male protagonist inquired with a suspicious look.

Well, I can understand why he’s wary of me considering my past obsession, but…

“You should call me ‘Administrative Officer’, not ‘Princess’.”

“Ah, but that’s…”

“Cassia Astrid, I am hereby assigned as the Administrative Officer to the Azure Dawn Knight Order, effective today.”

I flashed a grin at the stunned male protagonist.

“And you can rest assured that I will no longer be obsessed with you.”

The protagonist’s beauty? My obsession? A sweet and bloody romance?

What good are those when the world is on the brink of destruction!

“If you keep this up, I might accidentally send a letter of complaint to His Majesty the Emperor about this matter.”

I caused a scene in the commander’s office, acting like a typical villainess.

“Hey, do you expect our men to wash your socks too? Don’t you have hands? Huh!”

I also confronted the absurd barracks culture.

“Don’t be discouraged, gentlemen. It’s not your fault.”

I diligently looked after the future saviors whose mental state was in tatters.

“Long live the Administrative Officer!”

“You are the goddess who will save our knight order!”

“Our. Bright. Light. Cas.si.a!”

…Why have our knights turned into my fan club?

And…

“Our Administrative Officer will never leave us. Do you understand?”

Why has the once cold and aloof male protagonist’s eyes turned affectionate towards me?! <<less

But the plot seems to be going completely off the rails...

I've drugged the princess and my pants are already off, so why hasn't the hero arrived to stop me yet?!

Why does the protagonist's childhood friend, the noble Saintess, keep making eyes at me?

Even my obedient and loyal personal maid has started looking at me with a dangerous glint in her eye!

Where is the protagonist?! Somebody save me!!

"Heh heh... now that you've stolen my woman, you'll have to take responsibility for her to the very end, you know~"

...The Mary Sue says with a kind smile, all while gripping a hatchet. <<less

After being transported to another world, I learned the skill ‘Walking’.... more>>

On the surface, its effect is (User won't get tired no matter how much they walk), but a hidden line says (Get one experience point with each step).

The ones who summoned me know nothing about this, and revere the ones who were summoned with me as heroes after seeing their famous skills. I was chased away for being a nuisance with a useless skill.

But that was where my carefree journey through this new world began. <<less

Kurei Yuugo was just an average high schooler. If we really had to name one thing about him that was different, was that he really liked heroes.... more>>

One day, he died protecting a mother and child from a random slasher… But before he knew it, he was reborn in the world of the game Luminous History, as the character that shared his name, Yuugo Clay.

Yuugo was the most hated person in the academy. He would lose everything in a duel against the player character, and use his little brother who loved him until the end as a sacrifice to summon a magic sword. But after fighting the main character again, he would lose his life unsightly.

But trouble! Kurei Yuugo, a seventeen year old hero otaku who knew nothing of the things and had a bright personality, was reincarnated inside this villainous character.

“Uhyah! A transformation bracelet! Uwa, what am I going to make my transformation call!?”

“This armor is just too cool, isn’t it!? Thanks little brother!”

Yuugo, who knew nothing of the world of this game, would unconsciously and without intention crush the flags of his destruction that came one after the other.

As the people who reincarnated as main characters were baffled that things were not going according to plan, the Yuugo would dash through the path of a hero in the academy in another world, along with his beloved little brother. But what does the future hold for him!?

“Hey, can we make robots that combine in the end? No? I see… Then how about turning giant or… We can’t do that either… Sorry for being unreasonable…”

…What does it hold!? <<less

At the age of five, Liu Ying awakened memories of his past life as a modern person and learned about the "history" of this life. His memories were very vague. Apart from knowing that he was born five years earlier than in "history," he only had a vivid impression of his father, Liu Bang, trying to depose him as crown prince and push him to his death, and his mother, Lü Zhi, placing a human pig in the toilet to scare him to death. How could he tolerate this?! ... more>>

Liu Ying immediately stole his father's favorite sword and his mother's favorite lacquer box and threw them into the river to retaliate against his parents' lack of benevolence and kindness. Then, he was subjected to a mixed beating from both parents and couldn't get out of bed for three days. Liu Ying was furious: So the memories from his past life were true! His parents were indeed so heartless! Just as Liu Ying was filled with grief and indignation but helpless against his parents' cruel oppression, the golden finger "Mingjun Cultivation System" came online.

[Historical figure Liu Bang's attention towards you has increased, experience points +10.]

[Spend 100 experience points to exchange for a skill copy key.]

[The system has no intelligent customer service. Please explore the system functions on your own. We wish the host to become a wise ruler as soon as possible.]

Liu Ying immediately sprang up like a carp, but then his bu*t hurt and he fell back onto the bed. As long as he could make his father and mother furious, he could become a wise ruler? There was actually such a wonderful thing in the world, hooray! Years later, Liu Bang and Lü Zhi became a resentful couple due to their son's education issues. Liu Bang: This child is not like me! Lü Zhi: Not like you, then like whom?! He's exactly like you! The number one couple of the Han Dynasty started bickering again, while Crown Prince Liu Ying walked by, picking his nose. As a filial, benevolent, and righteous eternal wise ruler, who should I go to for experience points today? <<less

Wei Sheng: …

Damn it! Why do you guys always want to buy everything except the agricultural products we’re supposed to be promoting?

Viewers: Can’t blame us—the homemade local dishes just look too delicious!

Gradually, netizens realized that tuning in on Saturday nights to see which remote mountain village Wei Sheng had wandered into this time had become an addictive habit.

So, dear production team, can you stop slacking off and hurry up? Push for daily updates instead of weekly ones, thanks!

In my past life, I was the eldest of eight siblings. As the eldest among eight siblings, after our father passed away, I took care of the household chores and looked after my seven younger brothers in place of our working mother every day.

One day, I died saving one of my brothers from being hit by a car. When I awoke, I found myself in a world just like the novel I had read, and I had become the leader of a knight order!

Wasn’t this knight leader supposed to be so wicked that he would eventually be executed by the protagonist?!

Because of my past actions, my subordinates lack discipline compared to my brothers! At this rate, it’s a straight path to the execution ending!
