A genius schemer, creating an emperor!... more>>

“Only when your brother is happy can you be happy.”

She committed all kinds of evil deeds to make him Emperor. However, Artezia’s devotion was repaid with betrayal. It was the Grand Duke Cedric, a righteous enemy, that gave her a hand of salvation at the threshold of death.

“Devise a plan.”
“…”
“I can’t think of anyone but you who can reverse this situation. Marquess Rosan.”
“…”
“Lend me your strength.”

There is no plan that can reverse the already declining power and save the fallen empire. However, there is a method. To turn back time before everything went wrong.

With tears of blood she sacrificed her body to an ancient magic. This time, she will not fall.

Artezia, who returned to the age of 18 before death, resolved to become a villainess for the Grand Duke Cedric.

“Please give me your hand in marriage. I’ll make you emperor.”

In exchange for kneeling to the devil, the devil shall dirty her hands for you. <<less

Gu Yuanbai transmigrated into a BL novel as a weak, sickly emperor who barely had any sense of presence in the plot. The novel was a story of the struggle to gain the political power and love between the future regent and the first beauty in the capital, and he was supposed to serve just as a backdrop board.... more>>

Gu-wildly ambitious-Yuanbai: Don’t make me laugh.

He was the emperor—why would he let go of his power instead of expanding the national borders and leaving his name in the annals of history?

Xue Yuan, the son of the current supreme general and the future regent, hiding a burning ambition, accompanied his father into the palace for the first time. That day, he looked up, hidden among the crowd of courtiers, and caught a glimpse of the young emperor’s face.

Naturally rebellious, he sneered, thinking contemptuously that the little emperor looked prettier than the palace ladies. With this too-beautiful appearance and weak body, how was he planning to rule the country?

By making people take pity on his frailty? <<less

I woke up in another world—great, right?... more>>

Except it’s a medieval fantasy —male-dominated world— where women have zero rights, and men drool over land-owning noblewomen, and… oh yeah, I’ve been reincarnated as one.

My future territory is massive, but that only makes me a walking target for every greedy man with a title and a sword.

No cheat powers. No military genius. Just a pretty face and a whole lot of stress.

With no strength to crush invaders and no talent to command armies, I have only one choice: use my head (and maybe my looks) to survive.

This is the story of a desperate, effort-maxed noble lady (formerly a guy) who fights to protect her land and dignity in a brutal world of violence, backstabbing, and political marriages.

“I’m aiming for a fake marriage! Just give me someone strong enough to win a war!” <<less

Ye Bai was cryogenically frozen ten thousand years ago, and upon awakening, she found that Earth had entered the interstellar era.... more>>

As an ancient human, merely surviving required exorbitant costs to filter out various viruses and radiation.

At her wit's end, she looked up and saw a massive game advertisement spanning half the sky—

In her time, Ye Bai had been a renowned game developer.

The ad displayed her unreleased game, *Boundless Realms*, which she had created before being frozen.

Three years ago, *Boundless Realms* burst onto the scene, causing a massive stir across the universe.

This was because the game could actually enhance players' real-world mental and physical abilities, leading interstellar scholars to believe it might hold secrets of a higher civilization.

However, the game was notoriously difficult. Despite investing immense effort, players couldn't even complete their first class advancement.

That is, until Ye Bai decided to enter the game to monetize her insider knowledge...

Not long after, interstellar players received an unprecedented server-wide announcement, the first in the game's three-year history:

【Congratulations to the Milky Way Region's Earth player 'Baiye' for becoming the first Lord in the game!】

The entire universe was in an uproar!

Who was this reclusive Earth-based expert? How did they unlock the method to become a Lord? After all, players had been wandering and adventuring for three years, only to be labeled as drifters by NPCs!

Meanwhile, Ye Bai: "...Wait, was everyone in the universe playing on guest accounts before?!" <<less

Yun Xiaoxiao, a formidable survivor in the post-apocalyptic world, is reborn six days before the apocalypse hits. Unloved by both parents and unwanted after their divorce, she decides to take matters into her own hands.

At just five years old, she goes on a rampage. She empties out her father’s supermarkets and 4S car dealerships, landing him in the hospital.

Armed with a super system in a world ravaged by zombies, extreme temperatures, and acid rain, she hoards enough supplies to last several lifetimes. She becomes a base-building maniac, constructing the strongest fortress in the post-apocalyptic world.

Sunny Boy Next Door: “Little one, want big brother to sing you a lullaby?”

Unlucky Bandit: “Kid, what do you want? I’ll get it for you.”

Cool Big Brother: “Don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Yandere Hottie: “Little one, call me big brother and I’ll kill them all for you. How about that?”

[Update in Progress: Bug Fixing]... more>>

‘The Mayor Simulator’ is a game with an intriguing design.

As an infrastructure-building game, the protagonist can be killed by NPCs but can resurrect unconditionally.

However, there’s a bug in Vivi’s game: after resurrection, her body doesn’t disappear.

Looking at the body in front of her, she comes up with one, two, three, four, five daring ideas—

Being the mayor of Gotham City is a high-risk job.

But their new mayor seems to be doing quite well, lively and active even after more than a month.

Those who paid for the mayor’s life are furious, giving the assassins poor reviews.

One day, a certain Bat in the midst of battle accidentally enters the lady mayor’s office and knocks open a cabinet.

Dozens of casually stacked bodies tumble out of the cabinet with a thud.

The Bat: …

【Please select how to deal with your body—

[a. Spend 1000 gold and send it for cremation]
[b. Hide it in the nearby cabinet/box/under the desk]】

Vivi: I choose option c! Gain greater economic benefit from the BUG!” <<less

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

Zan Ying was born to be the Crown Prince's promised princess consort, designated by her father's will. She grew up in the palace, beautiful and well-behaved, and she relied completely on the Crown Prince, believing he was her lifelong destiny.... more>>

Until at her coming-of-age banquet, she discovered that the Crown Prince had always harbored a hidden love for someone else. Her trusted elder brother turned out to be the real brother of this hidden love, and her respected grandmother and uncle, who was a prime minister, all advised her to be magnanimous:

“After all, the girl’s father sacrificed himself for the country, and she is the daughter of a meritorious official…”

Even the emperor and empress, who had always treated her like their own daughter, mocked her for being petty:

“You will be the Crown Princess in the future, and she will only be a concubine at most. How can you not understand the bigger picture?”

Even when both were trapped in a fire, with the emperor and empress caring about the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince caring about the hidden love, and the elder brother caring about his sister, no one remembered that Zan Ying was still trapped under the collapsed beams.

Given a second chance, Zan Ying finally understood that those she thought were closest to her were only near her for the sake of the immense fortune her mother had left behind.

In her first act of rebellion, she stood alone, trembling, and publicly announced her desire to break off the engagement with the Crown Prince.

Initially, the Crown Prince thought she was just throwing a tantrum and would eventually come back to apologize. But while waiting, he saw the once-imposing Grand Marshal humbly helping the young girl with her muddy skirt. At that moment, the Crown Prince was consumed by jealousy.

A whole palace was left vacant. The once-familiar pastries, soups, and greetings were no more, and the emperor and empress began to feel disoriented.

Then came the elder brother, the prime minister, the previous and current dynasties, and the inner palace... <<less

A distinguished guest was welcomed to the palace of the Arilance Empire.... more>>

This lord was said to be a noble emperor.

After hearing this, the people of the empire scoffed. Whose emperor would wander around in despair? This man must be a liar.

The emperor of the Arilance Empire was a tyrant.

The people of the empire placed their bets, speculating on the date when the liar would be beheaded by the emperor.

Three months, five months.....

Months have passed, yet the liar had not been beheaded. The people of the empire could barely remember it anymore.

One day, the blue sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds. Holy archangels and black-winged demons stood together, headless hors**en rode on abyssal dragons, and thousands of troops came from a distance.

——They had come to meet their emperor.

That day, almost everyone in the city saw the powerful foreign race at the head and the thousands of troops kneeling on one knee before the liar in the palace, with their right hands clenched over the left side of their chests.

——The world is ignorant, only the emperor shines with the sun and the moon.

——I offer my heart and loyalty to my lord.

The people: ......

No way, was this for real?

For some reason, Qiao Xingnan pretended to be the emperor of a great nation.

Who would have thought that he would be brought back to the palace by the idle tyrant?

If his identity were revealed, his life would not be guaranteed.

Qiao Xingnan warily covered himself, trying to rely on his card draw system to maintain his act and secretly build a nation.

The cards of the Chaos Card Pool were a disgrace to the entire Starfield. They were eccentric, incompetent, withdrawn, and possessed the darkest side of the cards.

They had been abandoned and returned to their initial state.

Sinking into the darkness of the Chaos Card Pool, they became the loneliest of beings.

Then, later, a man appeared and said:

——Will you follow me?

What's the point of following?

The man would soon abandon them.

The cards in the Chaos Card Pool had long been accustomed to this.

Without expecting it, from that day on, they were dragged out of the abyss by their emperor.

Thereafter, light shone into the darkness. <<less

When Jiang Yanyi, heiress to a traditional hotpot family, opened her eyes, she found herself transmigrated into an ancient romance novel as the villainous supporting character.... more>>

After framing the female lead, she was exiled to a border military camp, where she was treated as mere entertainment for the soldiers.

Touching the scar on her forehead left by the original character’s attempt to escape, Jiang Yanyi quietly picked up a cooking ladle. As a minor character, she figured she had no need to follow the main plot.

The soldiers in the Western Zhou military camp all said that the new cook’s skills were unparalleled.

The noodles she made could be eaten dry or, with a bit of hot water, became a delicious bowl of soup—essential for soldiers on the move!

Jiang Yanyi: “No, this is just instant noodles.”

The tea she brewed had bubbles rising from it, a slightly sweet aftertaste, and even a hint of strong alcohol.

Jiang Yanyi: “No, this is cola!”

The hotpot she prepared had a red broth with ingredients from the land, sea, and sky that could be thrown in to cook—its taste was divine!

Jiang Yanyi: “... This is really just a common hotpot from the modern world.”

World famous video game called First Fantasy.... more>>

It is commonly known as FF.

It is a popular video game among a broad range of players, from casual players to core players.

There is an anime version of FF.

It is known as the ” failure ” of FF.

The reason for its unpopularity is that the main characters are too depressing and not rewarded.

This work has been the biggest disgrace in the history of FF, with a lot of opinions, mainly negative ones, for and against.

It is so unpopular that it is even said to be a different work from FF.

And since the title of the anime version is “First Story,” it is also known as FS in the sense that it is a different work from FF.

The character who appears as the villain in the story – Ark Noyadama.

Despite the regal title of “master of evil,” he is, in fact, a typical bite dog.

His final days were so horrific that they left the viewers traumatized beyond recognition.

The main character has been reincarnated as such an ill-fated character.

But he knew nothing about FS!

“Life should be on easy mode for a nobleman !　I’m going to live my life selfishly as a villainous aristocrat!”

And the hero decides to live as he pleases, making the most of his aristocratic status. ……

Qin Zheng transmigrated into the role of the Princess Consort,... more>>

but Qin Zheng, an engineer dispatched to a foreign country, didn't get the script for a palace drama, nor did she have the chance to experience the luxurious life of a Princess Consort.

Because, the nation had perished.

A eunuch held three feet of white silk and said, "Your Highness, the city has fallen. Please leave with dignity."

Qin Zheng: "..."

What kind of beginning was this?

In order to avoid being forced to commit su*cide, Qin Zheng had no choice but to go to the bed of her half-dead husband, the Crown Prince, and pretend to be deeply affectionate, shedding a few tears to delay time.

Emperor Chu Chengji, founder of the Great Chu Dynasty, was valiant and skilled in warfare.

He conquered the northern barbarians and drove out the southern savages, ushering in the prosperous era of Xuan Chu.

He spent his entire life in battles, without a wife or concubines.

Consequently, after his premature death, only a young scion from a collateral branch was selected to succeed him.

He departed during the peak of his prosperous reign, only to open his eyes and find himself at the time of his nation's demise!

He was reincarnated as the current Crown Prince, his own nephew of many generations.

Learning that the territory he had opened up in the past was directly lost, the Emperor of the founding dynasty couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.

How useless were these descendants?

Back then, he could establish this long-standing empire single-handedly, and today, he could rebuild it!

As for this stunningly beautiful Princess Consort, who cried so pitifully in front of him, the Emperor of the founding dynasty was extremely disdainful:

"Women would only hinder his speed of restoration!"

Later, the Emperor of the founding dynasty would knock on the door of the Pepper Room every night and ask, "Azhen, can I come back to sleep?" <<less

But Sang Yao does not like him. It all started when she accidentally sprained her foot next to him. He could have reached out to support her, but instead, he casually dodged aside, watching Sang Yao fall, causing her to lose face.

Sang Yao: ╰（‵□′）╯

Sang Yao remembered this for a long time. Every time she passed by Xie Yun, she would snort in anger. But Xie Yun never looked at her.

Sang Yao: even more annoyed (｀Δ?）！

Until one day, Sang Yao happened to pick up Xie Yun's notebook, and when she opened it— Not only did it detail Xie Yun's infatuation with her, but there were also many romantic stories with the two of them as the main characters. What was even more outrageous was the love letters Xie Yun wrote to her, so rich in emotion, it was simply outrageous!

Sang Yao was furious and slammed the notebook shut, her face flushed red.

From then on, she looked at Xie Yun differently.

Indeed, even the most outstanding people have their troubles. Xie Yun, who seems to be able to do anything, is actually just a poor guy who loves her but doesn't dare to say a word to her in reality, and can only fantasize about her in his dreams every day.

Sang Yao has always been soft-hearted and occasionally takes the initiative to talk to Xie Yun. Xie Yun remained cold. Sang Yao: Just shy.

Later, there were changes in the clan, and Sang Yao had no choice but to seek Xie Yun. For Xie Yun, this was just a meeting that needed to be perfunctory.

He looked cold and said indifferently, "Miss, please leave, this matter has been settled." She knew this dog of a man wouldn't easily agree to her request. Without saying a word, Sang Yao went up and kissed him on the cheek, "Stop pretending, it's time to act." … In the silence, the two looked into each other's eyes. The once famous and always calm Xie Yun finally began to take this daring girl seriously. <<less
